Thursday I made the Hiyashi Chūka recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook. It’s a cold ramen noodle dish topped with veggies and a salty-sweet sauce.

Two things about owning a home that no one told me:
The filters in the hood vent over the range? They need to be cleaned somewhat regularly. Ours pop out and go in the dishwasher.
The hot water tank has a rod in it that helps delay the rusting of the tank. It’s called an anode rod and should be replaced every 3 to 5 years. Doing so extends the life of the tank.

I aspire to practice hope like Mariame Kaba.
