This week I'm featuring Hulu's "Better Things" because for some reason I find a show about a shrimpy Jewish woman raising teenage daughters that outgrew her when they were like 5 years old, kind of relatable : ) The show is sometimes a show about nothing, but then there are some really tender moments thrown into the mix! So, with that we start our week with Bitter Things:                                         Bitters sprinkled atop basil-thyme-lime muddled margarita Green Israeli couscous with baby spinach, roasted beets, gorgonzola, and pickled red onion and chilis                                        added  crispy skin salmon for the chef.                           ...

Here comes the dropout kraut-braised sauerkraut in tomato-gochujang broth topped with fried tofu with tomato powder and smoked paprika, sesame oil drizzle and cilantro, and red rice...
