Easy Duck Confit
Duck confit sounds and looks fancy but it’s actually really simple and hands-off. You basically just salt the duck legs, leave it alone, stash them in the oven, leave it alone again. The most involved part of the recipe is if you choose to crisp up the duck skin stovetop…

Goraesa Fishcake Kimchi Udon Soup Meal Kit [Frozen]
Got this frozen kimchi fishcake udon kit from Redmart here, thinking it’d be a great idea to stave away the Midnight Munchies instead of ordering a potentially expensive and dismal Grabmeal yet again. Ah, my wasted money and stomach space. Took a gamble knowing …
