@gcvsa I like them too

One time I had a ‘chicken cookie’ from a Chinese bakery. Lots of American friends wanted to try it. They found it revolting. (No chicken! It’s just called that)

It was a super savory five spice cookie. I love that shit.

So their confusion on their face at a savory cookie is the same as mine at an incredibly sweet American cookie.

@LeafyEricScott yayyy

@coldclimate same

@dillyd @smitten I did 2/3s the sugar after the first time I made them

@LeafyEricScott maybe banana leaf in Milpitas

@LeafyEricScott not in South Bay.

Layang Layang has Asam laksa but that’s very different from the laksa most people are thinking about (curry style). This one is fishy and tamarind. Functionally a different dish.

My Selera is an amazing new Malaysian spot but no laksa either.

The only laksa I like in the Bay Area is noodle station in Daly City, and to an extent Dabao in SF

@krusynth oh fun!!

@khoji definitely never try an American cookie. Ever. Haha

@mountdiscovery great idea but I can’t guarantee I won’t eat it all before

@carrideen I’m enraged by sweet cookies.

@smitten sure!

Sesame miso cookies https://junandtonic.com/blog/2019/4/3/sesame-miso-cookies

Persian tea and raisin cookies (I do the soaking in black tea version) https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/nan-e-keshmeshi-persian-raisin-cookies-recipe

Also, I once worked somewhere that had ‘donuts for breakfast meetings’, which is revolting

I have to make my own cookies with miso, nutmeg, raisins, tea (not all at once).American cookies make me cry

Yesterday I had a quarter of a cookie at work at a ‘cookie party’, everyone was like what’s wrong? I was like it’s way too sweet

They laughed and said it’s the LEAST sweet one and they were glad I didn’t try the triple chocolate.

I would be fine, if the chocolate was dark.

I have an extremely low tolerance for sugar, which makes most food in this country.. a challenge.

Very upset that my previously favorite Monterey bakery removed the only savory pastry (ham and cheese), didn’t have anything savory for a well, put it back, but replaced the ham and cheese with only.. carrots.

I can’t stand this country’s sweet breakfasts anymore

@cmdln one very 3 minutes.

I got home from work and told my roommates ‘wanna hear a super queer story? My friend officiated her ex-girlfriend’s wedding!’

They said, ‘oh, I just went to my ex-girlfriend’s wedding. With my girlfriend.’

I thought about this and said, ‘my wedding witness, in a country I have never lived in (NZ), was my ex-girlfriend’s current girlfriend’s ex-girlfriend!!’

We are all ex-girlfriends.

#LGBTQ

I kind of want to do an autistic online friend group thing where each person just gets 3 min to info dump about their special interest. By way of saying hello.
