here's the thing that pisses me off about that noma story: those people are still blacklisted among the many powerful *men* in the culinary industry who still, even after all this evidence, support rene redzepi

Crispy Peachy Chicken This recipe, inspired by the Chinese–American favorite orange chicken, subs in tangy, sweet peach preserves. It comes together in under 30 minutes with some simple pan fryingβ€”no deep frying necessary....

i make a version of this, which is very good! shop.momofuku.com/blogs/recipe...

tonight we are having ORANGE CHICKEN FRIES for dinner, which is just when you make orange chicken and put it on top of waffle fries

i stole this idea from a LA restaurant, i think, and it has changed my life

sometimes i sit and smugly think about the fact that i was right that sturgill simpson would not continue making country records because he never promised anybody he was only going to make country records, even though the worst country music writer in the universe called me a dumbass for saying so

it is kind of wild to be repeatedly told that you must engage with a technology that exists almost entirely by the theft of your work and the work of other workers like you

should i also ask the guy who robs my house to paint it? do i need to engage a car thief as my mechanic??

the only new technology i need at this time is environmentally friendly styrofoam

i firmly believe that the most essential kitchen skill is being able to turn whatever random bullshit you find in your fridge into a delicious soup

freelance journalism is great because not only do you get to navigate the whims of AI and capricious editors, you ALSO get to engage with some of the least user-friendly technology ever invented in the form of various and increasingly horrible invoicing platforms

I am back from the theater and baby let me tell you: money can buy you a lot of things but it apparently cannot buy you the ability to competently analyze literature

I am not watching Wuthering Heights so that I can enjoy this classic piece of literature brought to life, I am watching so I can mercilessly critique Emerald Fennell’s choices and stare at Jacob Elordi, ok
