Todays a special edition of #FediArmyChef as I attempt 3 recipes:

• Salt and Pepper Tofu
• Korean Fried Chicken
• Braised Tofu*

• I tried this a couple of weeks ago and shared it, but I’m trying again with salt reduced soy.

I’ll probably be slowly posting these all afternoon.

It’s #FediArmyChef time! Tonight, I’m trying this recipe for Korean Braised Tofu, which I think will go well with the leftover bulgogi from last night 😊.

I haven’t tried this before, so it could be a disaster! I’m working off this recipe here: https://cjeatsrecipes.com/korean-braised-tofu/

Special mention to @asya who introduced me to this one!

I’m finally trying the Korean Fried Chicken recipe! I think @GQB gave me this one?

So I’ve been thinking more about the latest NewJeans release (I’m still obsessed with the Cool With You MVs), and I am convinced that ETA is not only a continuation of the narrative theme of CWY but that NewJeans themselves are playing the same role - that of the Greek Chorus. 1/?? (not that many)

I’m trying not to get too excited, because it will probably be impossible to get tickets, but squeee!

I'm kinda surprised there hasn't been much chatter about this here: TinyTan BTS Cooking On game: https://youtu.be/HveiP3rd-7o

Obviously Hybe have been watching the #FedArmyChef hashtag and realised it's a winner :CoolTata:

I adore this song from Eric’s latest release. Everything about it hits me in the feels.

Holy shit, NewJeans have done it again. Cool with You A- and B-side MVs are a trip in story telling. And featuring Hoyeon and Tony Leung! I’m going to need time to process.

Myeongdong street food 🧵! We’ve had about 2 weeks in Seoul spread across January and February and tried a bunch of things, but there’s still kids left to try when we come back. This thread is a little summary of our tastings from this trip…

(It may take me a little while to complete this thread as I’m wandering about town!)

It’s the second-last day of our holiday, and I think I’m ready to sleep for a month, at the same time, I’m not ready for it to be over 😅

And then there’s the pile of work emails waiting for me 😭

I was pretty surprised that the Vivaldi library doesn't already have a BTS theme, so I had to Bangtan my browser myself.

Ugh. Some cold has struck me overnight. The 🐀 (so far) says it isn’t COVID, which is nice, but I’ve felt better. Still, this completely justifies cheesecake for breakfast, right?

I don’t want to alarm anyone, but we stopped by the Gangnam Line Friends store and now we have more plushies. And key chains, even though we don’t really use keys any more…

Tonight’s meal is a simple one: somen noodles in a light broth with egg and ham. We went out to a food festival for lunch, so we needed a much lighter meal for dinner!

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark.

The Guardian has a story on how Saudi Arabia is working to push developing countries into fossil fuels and I think I might just give up on humanity.

It’s been a long road to fill our back garden with plants - we started from nothing and the soil is horrible, so it takes a while for things to get established - but the blossoms are thriving, the bamboo is progressively hiding the neighbours, the lavender is on a mission to conquer all, and spring is here so we might get some use out of the chess set again! Now we need the ginkgo to grow a bit more and for the shrubs to stop threatening to die on us 😊

The thing about this that most shocks/amuses/appalls me, is that this is also the guy who’s suing Threads for poaching his staff?! Dude, you fired them and then refused to pay their entitlements, and now you’re angry they work for the competition?

It seems I’ve basically spent my entire sick day on mastodon and… it’s left me pretty chill and happy? Thanks for being awesome people!
