what i cook + eat in a week | moms birthday, home renovation, farmers market, adult friendships

Hi, I'm Tiffy :)
Welcome to another episode of What I Eat In a Weekend. This week is an exciting week filled with outdoor activities, home renovations, and my mom’s birthday!
We are currently in phase 3 of our house renovation, so we have been visiting Home Depot and IKEA lots to get inspiration and also picking up some tools for our garden. I made a Spicy Octopus Stir Fry to help fuel us for a long day of shopping.
The next day was my mom’s birthday, so I decided to make her favourite vegetable tempura! If you ask anyone in my life, who is my best friend, they will say my mom. One of my core memories growing up was going to eat sushi with my mom. She would always order the assorted tempura, and we would all take turns picking which piece we wanted. It is such a dream come true to be able to cook her favourite dish for her and enjoy all the family time together.
The most important thing for me is spending time with the people I love, my friends, my family, and my husband. This week we were able to visit a few local events like the farmers market, outdoor symphony, and the Greek Festival. It is so much fun being a tourist in your own city and discovering hidden gems and creating lasting memories.
This was such a fun and eventful week, let me know what is your favourite activity to do in your city! See you next time!!
Love,
Tiffy

I genuinely hope you’re okay. That your family is okay. You’re my favorite creator, and the fact that you’re radio silent is horrifying. I hope you’re able to update us soon. Just to know if you’re alright. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.

[@BoredTing]

Every time I watch one of your vlogs, I’m left feeling like I should take more time to enjoy the little things in life no matter how hard or monotonous things get🩵 I love ALL of your content, but these longer videos are my favorite because I can watch them while I fold clothes; it makes the time go by faster😂 Happy (Belated) Birthday to your lovely mom, and thank you again for making amazing videos!! They for sure are one of my happy places!! 🥹🤍

[@tiffyycooks]

That makes me so happy 🥹🥹🥹🥹 I love watching vlogs too while doing errands hahah ❤️ thank h so much for your support, appreciate you so much!!!!!!

[@noshitsherloc6941]

I really hope you read this ! , cause i love your content and want you to be safe. The way you are filming these videos , telling us exactly which studio you are going , which day of the week you are going to the grocery store and exactly which store and all (especially in your last video) , its not safe at all ! . Please do not give off your location / area you love in so easily . Anyone with ill intent will know exactly where to find you. Stay Safe.

[@hyperluvr]

i was going to reply with a similar comment too!

[@FleetwoodPatch]

Happy birthday to your mom, Tiffy! Thank you so much for making these vlogs! My parents own a bbq restaurant, which I work at full time. Sometimes, it feels difficult and draining to cook for myself after cooking for other people. But your vlogs help me feel inspired and motivated to cook for myself and take care of myself. Thank you!!

Tiffy, thank you. Thank you for sharing your life and adventures. I've really enjoyed watching your videos as they take me back to my life when I was living in the US. I have since moved back to Singapore and life in Singapore is new and very different from the one in the US. Therefore, it gives me so much pleasure to watch your videos as they bring me back to those wonderful years I spent in the US. Keep up this great work as you are inspiring me to cook again. I look forward to more. Have a wonderful week!!!! 😘

[@tiffyycooks]

🥹❤️ thank you

[@summerf3022]

I love you too Tiffy, truly !!! I relate so much to you on so many levels and it makes me wish I could know you IRL! Unfortunately, we don’t have any close friends like that in our lives - we have in the past, though, so we know what it’s like and miss it so much… when I watch personal videos like this and relate to them on a personal level myself, in a way it helps to somewhat fill the void of not having any relationships like that in real life. That sounds terrible and pathetic I’m sure, but there it is anyway. Thank you for sharing so much with us. Some of us are lonelier than you know. This helps. ❤

[@chillipeppa88]

Love you!! Your videos are my happy place and it's awesome that you always end them on such a happy and positive note ❤ Happy birthday to your sweet mumma, we are grateful for her giving us Tiffy 🎉🎂🥳! I'm looking forward to trying your tempura recipe, also what sweetener do you use for your Korean dishes?

[@tiffyycooks]

Love you!!!!!! I look forward to your comment every week 🥹❤️🥹❤️ I like to use plum extract as my sweeter lately!!!! Adds a bit of tang too

[@Angelina-xd7cg]

I'm Indian. Ur presentation is awesome, and I am in love with your channel. I would love to try your recipes. Can u please suggest to me the essential ingredients to buy through Amazon or from a nearby shop to try out most of your dishes?
