Steamed eggs Gyeranjjim. Inspired by Michelle Zauner’s memoir Crying in Hmart. I’ve read also when finishing your cup of noodles, keep the remaining broth, add whisked egg and microwave for a delicious & quick steamed egg

Since reading Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner, I fell in love with Maangchi and her home style korean cooking.
A great motivation for me in the kitchen, creating different banchan each week.
These eggs were so delicious!

Australian Author Kate Holden 📚
I first read this memoir “In My Skin” in the early 2000’s I believe. My mum (small understanding of the book) gave it to me as a late teen. I’ve just found “The Romantic”

#JeanCarroll became a tattooed woman for love. Her chest bore an image of an angel guarding the famous aviator Lindbergh in a plane, while her stomach showcased La Piéta adorned with a rose “belt.” Angels, a Madonna and Child, and a Christ’s head with the Rock of Ages adorned her thighs.
