(edit: the official TapTap's Cooking Adventure Thread🧵)
This one came out iffy but it's mostly my fault. I didn't want this one (missed the chance to pick)
Should have trimmed the green beans better, I added potato water back and shouldn't have, but it tastes good so who cares. I already put some of the potatoes in a tub so it looks unbalanced
Big cooking day today. It’s ended with me doing some air fryer chicken and veg. Roasted spring potatoes and Greek salad.
But I tried something new for the chicken — tried twice-cooking it kinda like they do for fried chicken.
I took it out when about 145° internally and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before putting it back to finish cooking it. It was very moist but the skin was crunchier and stayed on a bit better.
It was brined 24 hours in buttermilk and a •head• of garlic. #cooking#food
Dinner! Peruvian-Inspired Steak with Green Sauce,Spiced Air Fryer Fries,Salad of Tomato, Cucumber, Jalapeño,Green Onion,Charred Corn tossed in a Lime Vinaigrette. 😋 #dinner#food#foodie#sunday
Slightly more effort today compared to the usual: saffron rice, braised potato and chicken, chives. Usually I just chuck rice into rice cooker but housemate requested saffron rice, so I deliver
Passed by a #Thai#Food festival on the evening walk. I said OK to Hanna’s request to have a pancake, not knowing she’d get to pick what to have inside of it. Good thing I’m the one counting calories, and not Hanna 😅🍭
The real cause of skyrocketing food prices is corporate greed and market concentration—and one group of farmers has the receipts.
The National Farmers Union (NFU) has submitted data to the House of Commons agriculture committee which details how much retail food prices have risen compared to the prices that farmers receive for their goods.
Various laksa of Malaysia in my home town: yummy. 🙂
"I[t would be a dream come true for an aficionado if the laksa from every state is made available in one place.
That’s exactly what the two-day ‘Laksa Kuale Festival’ at the Kuala Kangsar Arena here which begins today offers, bringing together unique flavours of laksa from 10 states"
A long walk along the Water of #Leith, with a detour to Green Bite Cafe. Tara made many friends, and frolicked in the water. At Leith Market, we met M and Lowenna. I bought much vegan cheese and not-pork pies (from Earthy and Kama) then we had more lunch in the Sly Fox. Tara and Lowenna bring their own special blend of chaos, sweetness, and antagonism to any outings.
We walked along the Water of Leith some more, then sat in a dog-filled park for a while as Lowenna joined a pack. Tara was bemused by all of the bigger dogs running around, and settled for guarding our perimeter and asserting her boundaries with yaps.
Dinner! Air Fryer Salmon with Pineapple Salsa and Cilantro-Lime Rice. 😋 I looove my air fryer. It saves me from turning the oven on in this heat. I use it a lot. Highly recommend! #dinner#foodie#food#friday
I need ideas for a mild marinade for a pork shoulder that I'm going to slow-cook and pull apart tomorrow for a dinner party I'm giving for some of my neighbors.
Sides are roasted asparagus, blistered tomatoes, Shirazi and I have bread dough fermenting.
*Trans Experiences: The story of the Kiwi, being misgendered, and of chicken pies **
A week ago I was misgendered in a local butcher's shop buying a pie. This is so rare now! The bloke was a Kiwi who knew me pre-transition and hasn't seen me in ~3 years. I was called "mate", likely from prior voice familiarity. I didn't confront on the spot as I sensed a pure accident, a slip
My first reaction? Ouch! Of course was I don't want to go back there
I mull it over, as is my wont
I decide I WILL go back this morning, pre-armed with my ferociously femme glasses and a withering pre-prepared line in mind
I walk in
He sees me and immediately says "Hello, young lady". He is over-polite
He knows he got it wrong before. I know it too 💜
I accept his undoubted "lady", smile back pleasantly at the more dubious "young"
And by going back, I reclaim that space, lose not a drop of trans agency or my pride :Fire_Trans: I will be myself, neither weak nor meek
For those of you who make homemade mayo ... how long does it last in the fridge?
Note: I make by all Ingredients (raw egg, oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, S&P, cayenne) into a tall container and using a hand blender, blend it almost instantly into mayo ... literally under
1 minute.
God I love my no algorithm feed on here.* The news, commentary, humor, art, nerdists, photography, cooks, bakers, and cheese make it amazing. Keep up the good work everyone. Oh and let me know if I should be following anyone in particular. I'm greedy that way.
Child labor is not uncommon in the food industry and the agricultural sector — some estimates indicate that there are as many as half a million kids aged 8 to 17 working in farm jobs.
Eater took a look at the history of children working in America, why some lawmakers want to relax the laws now, and what child labor means for the food industry and society.
