Having lived in Malaysia and Thailand and Indonesia, I put all the hot sauce at once to try to feel something, but don’t (the black Yucateco sauce, not pictured, is a slight tingle but very faint). All of these are just like, flavor. At least they’re tasty!

In my part of the world people chew on raw Birds Eye chillies for fun so

Because they bring me such joy, I will share with you all the software testing videos I share with my Software Design and Development students.

Listening to a song I haven't in a long time - turned it up loud when it came on in my home shuffle mix:

Sure there are a lot of 'real' American foods but I'm grateful to have eaten and learned to make really well what I think are 2 quintessentially "American" dishes - burgers and hot wings.

Convention oven baked these - 420 ⁰F from frozen for an hour in the preheating oven, then sauce tossed.

SRDas, 1 month ago to Japan

It hasn't been 4 months yet, but ever since we got back from our trip to #Japan last year, it seems like such a dream - some days more than others.

There’s a discussion on LinkedIn where a few people are saying they feel a 150K salary is enough for private schools for multiple kids and nannies and mortgages in the Bay Area and… that’s when you know those are the people with inherited wealth because, absolutely not

The math doesn’t math (after taxes? in this economy? Of 6-15K monthly mortgages? 3-5K childcare bills?)

A Friday evening to remember for sure - not the typical conference banquet

After a long time - partner made some terrific chocolate pots de creme* (with some leftover yolks).
Kid2 really loves making quenelles so the whipped cream got a bit of treatment before going on top

Being from where I am in the world, my words for ingredients are in Malay, Teochew, Hokkien, Tamil (there’s no order to which food items are in which language. They simply.. are. Some fish we use the Malay names, some fish we use the other names. Same with veggies)

And now that I am in N America I am re-learning some words in Cantonese

I thought I couldn’t get ‘kang kung’ here but learned it’s actually called ‘ong choy’

Simple traditional #fish soup.

Boil water, drop ginger, onions, tomatoes, and dried Rosella flowers (instead of lemon). Drop the fish. Serve when you feel it's ready according to taste.

On Friday morning, I will defend my dissertation.

The research explores how congressional staffers make #science policy decisions at the national level. I used to work in the Senate, which inspired this journey into the social sciences.

(Friday is also the first day of my kids' Spring Break, so they'll be coming along which should be interesting).

For those curious about the topic, I share a bit about the research on my substack. More results will there soon https://sheril.substack.com/p/a-dissertation-on-democracy

Tonight's #aperitivo #aperitif is taken from the book "SIP, 100 gin cocktails with only 3 ingredients", the Holiday #Martini :

60ml gin
20ml Fino #sherry
5ml Cap Corse grande reserve quinquina blanc (upped to 10ml)

Stirr&Strain and garnish with a cocktail onion.

A savory take on the Vesper.
Highly recommended for a great Saturday evening.

Nagaland's Chakhesang tribe traditional attire. Love the embroidery that Nagas come up with for their shawls but it's a tad heavy for my taste.
