I also highly recommend this book. And his last book, ‘Evicted’.

Next time you hear someone say ‘why don’t poor people just’ you can get as mad as I do at that.

I’ve been dealing with different versions of ‘what to do when spaniel ears get into their food’ for 15 years. This is this week’s attempt to manage that mess

@MAESSR used that for a while but got tired of dealing with wet food on snoods

Alamo Square Park (would be a peaceful day if the streets around here weren’t also full of political motorcades and horns). I already walked into more than one politician, which is too much for a year

A list of Indigenous restaurants in the U.S. This list should be so much larger.

My wife was so excited to buy her childhood cheese she HAS to sing the song every time she eats it

‘I’m having KIRI - KIRI - KIRIIIII’

https://youtu.be/-JRtK9U9EuA

Honestly thought she was glitching the first time

@kf i have this way of taking pictures of her that always makes my wife thinks I’m going to fall over, or run into a wall (it involves running and leaning over and taking photos of her at the same speed she’s walking or running at) ahahaha

for forty full years of my life i thought the chorus to toto's "africa" was "i miss the rains down in africa" and was about starcrossed lovers who met in the peace corps

pretty sure this is not evidence of parallel universes, though, i'm just bad at hearing lyrics

@brooke most of my life I thought the song ‘all by myself / I don’t wanna be’ was ‘all by myself / I just wanna be’

My friend Annie H has an excellent piece on the overlaps of Thai and Malaysian cuisine, that defy neat national borders and national myths

Indeed, one of the reasons I don’t often love Thai food ‘abroad’: it tends to be the food of central Thailand, which I don’t love, but is presented as ‘default Thai’

I love northern and southern Thai food; and even when I am in back Thailand, I don’t usually eat the central Thai food at all hehe

I try to only go to Thai restaurants ‘abroad’ that say they specialize in the food from the northeast or the south

@hungry_joe some places in LA are as good as Bangkok. most other places, it looks right but doesn’t taste right to me.

My wife doesn’t like watching me play videos games because ‘all you do is crawl around and open drawers and read letters’

And ‘in the apocalypse I’d be dead (watching you read letters instead of fighting)’

There’s truth in that

I’m very good at scrounging, crafting and reading letters and maps, that’s my skill in real life and in video games and in the apocalypse

I made a delicious vegan pesto. With the tops of the carrots I get from the farmers market, I blitz it with lots of olive oil and pumpkin seeds, nutritional yeast. I mostly like repurposing the parts of vegetables I might otherwise discard. Now I have a lot of vegan pesto.

Thinking about how one time my French friend cooked for me and she was like ‘sorry I only used salt and pepper and herbs, no spices, hope that’s okay’

(Contrary to the meme, I don’t need spices in everything, just most of the things. If you don’t have spices, fresh herbs are also fine!)

(I also like things that ‘taste like themselves’ but most of the time most people don’t go out of their way to get really good produce or proteins, and things don’t taste like anything.. also, use more salt, for most people!)

Starting a thread on the different types of tofu and how to cook them. (Some of these are vegan, some are not. In Chinese cooking, tofu is not a vegan protein):

  1. Egg tofu

This is one of my fave tofus. It isn't vegan. It's made with soy beans AND eggs. It has a eggy taste that egg lovers will love; but that goes way entirely when it's panfried lightly.

And this is the egg tofu dish I always order at restaurants (and now make at home) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uthY_SuR_7w&pp=ygUec3BpY2VzIG4gcGFucyBzaXpsaW5nIGVnZyB0b2Z1
