When a lobster outgrows its shell, it starts to feel cramped and uncomfortable. So it retreats under a rock, sheds its old shell, and patiently grows a new one.
Once the new shell is ready, the lobster emerges stronger than before.
Keep growing!

It was a low key end to 2024 with @dkmomus at @istanbulhawaii. They now bake their own fluffy flatbread for the mezze platter and it’s all I want to eat! Had my favorite manti, wagyu kofte, baklava and kunefe.
#HappyNewYear and cheers to 2025!

My family used to bring Jackson Market beef jerky to Hawaii as gifts since 1973! But they’re on their 3rd or 4th owner now. Still good, but the recipe has definitely changed. :(

AFTER 20 YEARS, I finally got my hands on a fresh, hot @goldengate.bakery dan tat! If you’ve been following me, you know the saga of how they’re always on vacation whenever I’m in #SanFrancisco.
Were they worth the wait? www.instagram.com/reel/DEHUhf0...
