🍽️ Zhajiangmian (fried sauce noodle)
There are many variations of this dish; this is based on the family recipe. The best zhajiangmian for me is the one I had when I was a kid.
Some bamboo shoots were missing.

It appeared at customs last week, with a notice stating "missing important documentation, would contact the recipient for information."
I guessed the system is asking them for a reason why it was delayed, cause no information was enquired and they delivered today lol

So the "air mail" is almost as fast as sea freight...I only received it TODAY, after 2 MONTHS.
Based on the tracking number, the package was on the plane on December 6th, and it has been "stuck" on the plane for 2 months (more likely in a customs warehouse).

I'm waiting for a care package that was shipped in early December. It already arrived in Italy, but is waiting in a queue in an unknown storage with all the Christmas gifts somewhere now.
If I am lucky, it will probably arrive before Christmas; otherwise, it will become my Christmas present (´･ω･`)

羅曼史是別冊附錄？
雖然和鬼怪不是同一年出的，但聽到單親媽媽重回職場在出版社工作第一個想到的。很喜歡裡面對於職業女性的刻畫。

Internet hall of fame:
"My favorite is Nelly, because she's so calm"
'Nelly the Calm Owl' is a barking owl (Ninox connivens) and that *is* just what they look like most of the time.
The barking owl is native to Australia, where the Yanyuwa people named them 'mulurrku'.

an owl standing next to a boy wearing a blue shirt that says ' animals ' on it
Alt: A medium sized brown owl is on camera, with a boy in blue shirt and backpack moving offscreen as it zooms. The bird turns and has just enormous black pupils inside of yellow irises, looking totally freaked out or scared.

Noticed the Japanese seasoning bottles from Ajinomoto have Japanese Braille engraved on the caps. And I realized this is the only thing with Braille in my kitchen.
I think this is a nice touch and accommodates different people. Hope this will be a thing in more packages in different countries.
