Hello foodie friends!
Looking forward to a weekend of edible fun. So much going on this month, it’s hard to keep track! Fully leaning into beanie + plaid weather–I have embraced pumpkin season. More rain, more cozy mornings, and lots of veg eats to indulge in. It’s Erev Rosh Hashanah this week for anyone who celebrates and a thoughtful moment to reflect on which delightful sweet treat I want to mark the occasion. (Scroll for plum cake inspo.)
Where are we eating this week? My recent rotation includes Kati for Thai x2, popcorn for dinner, and too many plums.
Stay hungry,
Hawnuh Lee
