FUCK ARBY’S

HomiEats – Libelula + Stephen
Libelula is a little farm-to-table restaurant in Downtown Fresno attached to the Crest Theater around the corner from Chukchansi Park. They’re one of the few restaurants that I went to pre-pan, survived and it has become one of my favorite joints in the city. Everything is made fresh and everything is a wild fusion of…
Fatayer
Fatayer is a stuffed savory pastry, usually stuffed with seasoned meat or spinach and onion. These are stuffed with spinach and go great with a cafecito. Available at PK Deli & Bakery only on Fridays and they sell out quick. 📸: Macro 100mm 2.8 L
Soujuk & Potato Breakfast Skillet

I don’t remember making this deal but I’m not going to back out of something that I probably DID agree…
Birthday Dinner
My sister had me over to her house for my birthday and I decided to cook 2/3 of the dinner. Coq au vin blanc and creamy tomato bisque with her sautéd veggies. 📸: My Shitty Phone
Ahi Tuna & Tomato Soup
I love seared ahi and I usually plate it with whatever concoction I have on the stove at the time. Tonight it was over hearty tomato soup and topped with habanero pico de gallo and sweet & sour aioli. 📸: Macro 100mm 2.8 L
Sopa de Flor de Calabaza (Squash Blossom Soup)
This is actually a soup my mom taught me how to make. Now, I am a weapons-grade dumbass and have never been a good note taker, so I never measured anything much less actually have a fucking recipe written anywhere. At least until now… Kinda… This is my first attempt at making a soup that…
