CHIcken curry puffs
Traditionally eaten at tea time, curry puffs are pastries filled with hearty mix like potatoes or minced meats. These savory hand pies are similar to Hispanic empanadas or Indian samosas, and are a great treat that you can make at home to serve as an appetizer, cocktail food, or as a light lunch or dinner. Serve them hot, or make a big batch to freeze and keep for later.
pregnant and vaccinated
(covid-19)
This is me at 12 weeks pregnant, at the home stretch of my first trimester, right after I got my second Covid-19 shot.
In January of 2021, the US began vaccinating front line workers and in February I found out I was 4 weeks pregnant. At first getting the vaccine wasn’t a choice I had worried about because I didn’t know when I would even be eligible but phase 1B in NY State included pregnant women. I was suddenly faced with a decision that moms-to-be didn’t have to face before.
