@skinnylatte she’s a keeper.

@skinnylatte the betrayal

@skinnylatte if you start with the attitude that tofu is tasteless and you’re just suffering jt for “health” you’re never going to end up respecting the ingredient and doing something interesting with it.

@skinnylatte more for the rest of us

@skinnylatte wait, what? Steaming is just a better version of poaching.

@skinnylatte @bentoh that was my worry. This is a gov't wide problem where they don't really understand how the private sector comp model has changed in tech. I remember being invited to apply for a GS-15, which would have been a pretty ugly pay cut because of the stock side of things.

@skinnylatte the world can never have enough Cookie pics

@skinnylatte to me it needs to be reformed so that those leveraging the process have protections that are equivalent to citizens. And a clear path to citizenship. Today it’s structured to give overwhelming power to the employer, and that leads to consistent abuse. The solution to that is to strip the employer’s power so that some fairness is restored.

This country desperately needs much more immigration not less.

@skinnylatte I feel like this is the same people who think "expensive Chinese food" is an oxymoron. Or freak out at a taco that costs more than $1. If all you've had is cup-o-noodles, your judgement is off.

@skinnylatte added to my next order!

@skinnylatte 1) breakfast tacos are near perfect; 2) this is amazing leveraging of frico

@skinnylatte I’ve always struggled with sweet for breakfast. It’s just “wrong”. Savory is the way to go.

@skinnylatte btw whoever works on the mobile Seafood Choices app, tell them they are awesome!

@skinnylatte I relate so much to this.

@skinnylatte @JessTheUnstill although, if you make your own fried shallots, the oil (I typically use peanut) is… a gift of the gods.

@skinnylatte @JessTheUnstill absolutely. Leaves are just one of many possible options. Lots of flavors and textures. Always toss in some toasted nuts as well, or something crispy/crunchy.

Oh and those fried shallots you can get at Asian groceries.

@skinnylatte @JessTheUnstill when my partner was still able to live at home we had salads with every meal. With a vinaigrette like this. A cabinet full of vinegars and oils and a few other condiments gets you a wide variety. And they take 2m to whip up.

Also, when you’re eating them every day you go through a huge amount of veg and can stock a diverse selection.

@skinnylatte I think there’s also some amount of othering to allow people to maintain the illusion that they too are not one catastrophe away from being unhoused. To face that would require addressing our economic system’s structural problems. Much of the US (all countries but it seems especially prevalent here) depends on a deep delusional state being maintained.

@skinnylatte I’m terrified that AI will be used to ethically launder killing us

@skinnylatte ok I have to try this. Congee is one of my favorite things.
