The long weekend is about to start. I’m very excited about that. It’s not that we have anything planned, but it’s nice to have an extra day to relax. We may drive to an area, find something good to eat, and walk around a little bit. That is my ideal kind of holidays. What is your plan this weekend?

Recently, I met up with Bonnie from Thirsty For Tea. We haven’t seen each other since Bryan and I left for San Jose in 2019. Even though we moved back for a while, the pandemic sure have stopped everything. It was very nice to catch up. She knew that we like making cocktails at home, so she gave me a bottle of ginger liqueur. I actually have never tried it before. It’s a little sweet with a bit of ginger kick. It would perfect in cocktails.

It’s September, which also means stone fruit season is coming to an end soon. To celebrate them one last time, I decided to use peaches for the cocktail. I made some homemade peach nectar. Sounds crazy, but not hard at all. Blend the peaches and strain them. Then combine the peach juice with sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Chill them in the fridge overnight. That’s it! But if peaches are no longer in season or you don’t have time to make your own nectar, use store-bought ones.

Peach nectar, ginger liqueur, bourbon whiskey and fresh mint. Definitely scream summer to me! When you’re making the cocktail, make sure to shake really well, so everything is chilled and cold when done. The cocktail tastes fantastic. There’s the sweetness from peaches, the kick from ginger liqueur, the oakiness from bourbon & the freshness from mint. It all works together. It’s a little sweet, which makes it easy to drink. I can imagine this cocktail would be great with a grilling dinner.

Cheers! Have a relaxing Labor Day weekend!

Ingredients

  • 3 medium fresh mint leaves
  • 2 ounces bourbon whiskey
  • ½ ounce ginger liqueur
  • 2½ ounces homemade peach nectar (or store-bought)
  • 15 ice cubes
  • 5 ounces club soda
  • Peach slices (optional for garnish)
  • Mint sprig (optional for garnish)

Homemade peach nectar:

  • 4 fresh peaches
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¾ cup water
  • 6 – 8 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

  • A day ahead, make the peach nectar. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Fill a medium bowl with water and add the ice cubes. With a sharp knife, lightly score an “X” at the bottom of each peach. In 2 batches, put the peaches in the boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Submerge the cooked peaches in the iced water for 1 minute. Pat dry and peel. If needed, use a vegetable peeler. Cut the peaches into large slices and remove the pits. Place the peaches in a medium nonreactive bowl, and toss with lemon juice.
  • Add the peaches and juice to a blender. Add ¾ cup water. Blend until pretty smooth. Pour the peach juice into fine mesh strainer over a large bowl. Use a large spoon to scrape the strainer multiple times, so the juice can pass through. Discard the pulp of the peaches.
  • Transfer the juice to a medium sauce pan. Add sugar. Bring to a boil and until the sugar has melted. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Once cooled, pour into airtight container and keep in the fridge until ready to use.
  • To make the cocktail, tear the mint leaves with hands and put into a cocktail shaker. Muddle a few times. Add bourbon whiskey, ginger liqueur, peach nectar and 10 ice cubes. Close the shaker and shake vigorously.
  • In a glass cup, add 4 – 5 ice cubes. Strain the cocktail into the cup. Add club soda. Give a quick stir. Garnish with peaches and mint sprig. Serve.

Notes

  1. For the alcohol, I used Four Roses Small Batch and Domaine De Canton Ginger Liqueur. They can be easily found in liqueur stores.
  2. It’s best to make the peach nectar a day ahead, so it has time to chill in the fridge. The nectar can be kept for a few days in the fridge. The nectar recipe makes a little more than 2 cups of nectar, which is enough to make at least 6 servings of this cocktail.
  3. If you don’t want to make your own peach nectar, you can get a store-bought one in the juice aisle in local supermarkets.

Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango p Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango pudding every summer. That creamy & soft pudding is loaded w/ tons of fresh mangoes. My version is pretty much the same, but I switch out the mango-flavored gelatin mix for fresh mangoes. It tastes incredible & brings me back to my childhood right away! It was the perfect dessert when I was a kid, and it’s still the most satisfying dessert today! 🥭

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

❣️Always a multi-course tasting menu & changes often.
Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
