Lately, my wife and I have found an activity that not only leaves our belly full but also gives us a good 15–20 minutes of joyful shared experience.

No, I'm not talking about dining out or having a picnic. We've been using DIY meal kits.

These meal kits come in boxes containing portioned and freshly prepared ingredients, helping you make restaurant-quality meals in easy steps under 15–20 minutes.

We ordered a meal kit of Burmese Khow Suey, and at the end of the cook, the dish looked and tasted pretty close to what we have had in a restaurant:

We split the cooking steps between us and had a soulful experience assembling a restaurant-quality dish without working too hard.

Depending on where you live, you might have one available online or at a nearby supermarket.

We were initially sceptical of the freshness of the ingredients and how the end product would turn out. But, in the end, we loved this experience.

Try one out.

In other news, Hulry turned four years old this week.

It's hard to believe that it's already been four years since I set up an off-the-shelf blog on WordPress and published the first blog post on 24th June 2020.

Since then, the blog has evolved many folds into multiple projects such as this newsletter, a book and more.

And this journey, those countless evenings of typing away on a keyboard after work like a madman, wouldn't have been possible without the support of amazing readers like you.

Thank you.

I'm excited as I prepare the next phase of Hulry, and I'm confident you'll like where this is heading.

Now, let's move on to the rest of this newsletter issue:
