Hey, folks. I hate doing this, but my family and I need help with money for food & gas. This is unfortunately going to be a regular request until I can get a new job. (See my pinned posts for my resume.)

We average about $35/day for food (2 adults, 2 kids) and $10/day for gas, if we are being cheap. Dog food is $22/week. So we need around $335-$340 to make it through the week, making sure everyone is fed and gets to school. Any help, however small, is deeply appreciated.

Please boost for reach! And remember, you can unboost and boost again to keep it visible.

Week of Dec 11:
Progress: $1232.85/$340

*** OMG, y'all, thank you all soooo much for all your help! We can ge the car insurance & reg covered (~$300), pay several bills (water ~$130, elect ~$170), and even eat on this for a while, too. ***

I want to write a thing about Chinese cooking ratios.

1:8 rice to water for Cantonese congee, 1:10/12 for Teochew / Chiu Chow.

Water to egg ratio for steamed egg 1:2.5 for Japanese style, 1:3 for Chinese style

Soy beans to water for diff types of soy milk.

Good thing I have a new project (a Chinese food newsletter I’m hoping to launch before Xmas) to write all this random stuff in my brain

The funny thing about my cooking journey is I wasn’t always an Asian food cooking expert. When I lived in southeast and South Asia, there was absolutely no reason to cook any of their cuisines there. It was widely available and cheap and easy. It was more expensive to cook it myself and I couldn’t possibly have done it even 1/10th as well.

I mostly cooked French, Italian and Thai food (Thai food I picked up because I was in the Middle East for a bit and I needed spice). So I cook all of those cuisines at a pretty advanced level, and feel like I had to really learn how to cook the Singaporean / Malaysian street foods I miss. But I know no one back home really cooks those dishes at home either. (Home food and street food is very different. No one is really starting up a huge wok to do char kway teow, or making advanced things like roast meats that we can easily purchase).

So now when I tell my family I know how to make things like laksa or fish soup bee hoon or nasi lemak, they think that I’m a sorcerer. They don’t make this stuff at home.

"Two headlines from yesterday (Nov. 6):

'Musk Could Become World’s First Trillionaire in New Tesla Pay Package'

'SNAP Recipients Go Without Food After Benefits Don’t Arrive'

And there is the moral rot of our capitalistic empire. A trillionaire shouldn’t exist, especially in a world where children are starving."

Very few things are more satisfying than slicing a whole ripe pineapple with a Chinese cleaver, then eating the cubes or slices in dark sticky soy sauce with birds’ eye chillies. Maybe some belacan.

"With huge waiting lists, public demand for allotments is clear. What’s needed now is political will, and an ability to reimagine cities not just as places to live and work, but as places to grow.

Because as Corbyn warned: once these spaces are lost, they’re rarely replaced"

"Another farmworker, Gabriel, who came out to speak, brought a backpack full of yellow envelopes containing all his tax documents over the decades.

“These are my taxes. I have been paying my taxes for 19 years, without rights,” he said, as he pulled out each envelope and threw them on the ground in front of the podium. “I’ve been doing this year, after year, after year. For a promise that I would get my citizenship, this is my testimony that I am not a criminal. We are not criminals.”"

Last night's dinner with Japanese colleagues was all about Persian cuisine—from lassi (my default drink of choice) to lamb biryani and kebabs, to raisin and tomato basmati rice, as well as pistachio and almond baklava. My tummy was happy. 😊

Another Brexit fiasco.... British cheeses failed to get to the World Cheese Awards in Portugal as they failed to clear customs in time (now being from a non-EU country).

In the scale of the disasters of Brexit its not going to to be a big thing (although it will be for the frustrated cheese makers), but is emblematic of how myopic the Brexiters were about the impact of their successful plan to leave Europe....

One of my favorite Singapore food writers / recipe developers lives in the Netherlands now.

“Having grown up in perpetual summer, living in the Netherlands with the cold as a constant companion often makes me hanker for foods that I’d never craved for in Singapore.”

That’s what I feel too: the perpetual summer.

The newsletter name is a joke because there are no Singapore noodles in Singapore:

This gorgeous saffron spice tea popped into my mind today so I have made myself a pot. I first had it in a Kashmiri shop in South India. They serve this tea as you wander around. It was so so good so I asked what it was. Simply saffron, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves.

For a full Kashmiri experience you can add Karshmiri green tea leaves, organic dried rose petals and slivered almonds.

For a pot:
4 cloves, or more if they are small. Sometimes I use up to 10!
4 cardamom pods
2cm piece cinnamon
1 pinch strands of saffron

method
Crush the spices roughly in a mortar – no need to grind them at all, just to break them up a little. Place in a teapot, pour hot water over and allow to seep for 5 minutes. This will allow the saffron time to develop colour, and the flavour from the spices to emerge. Strain into a special teacup and sip slowly.

Aaaah! How relaxed you feel.

This is my favorite coconut water product. Just coconut water and coconut flesh, frozen in a bag. The next best thing is getting a young coconut on a Thai beach.

Keeps me going, what with all the terrible coconut water products here

On an especially hot day, taking this out of the freezer = having coconut ice slushy instead of water, which is also excellent

From EYB re #AsmaKhan's new book, #flavour
[My comments are in square brackets.] It sounds interesting, especially as I have #MasalaLab by #KrishAshok on my desk at the moment.

Asma Khan, creator of Darjeeling Express in London, thinks that the idea of what Indian people eat at home is so wrong. “No one in India eats naan at home,” she says. “You need a tandoor. Your bloody house would catch fire. People’s idea of what we eat is so warped.”

Her two #cookbooks focus on Indian home cooking. Her upcoming book, Flavour – Discover the Elements Behind Delicious Indian Cookery, is different.

It is structured around the six core #ayurvedic tastes: Tangy, Bitter, Hot, Sweet, Sour, and Salty and how they correlate to the six seasons in Bengal. [These aren't actually the 6 Ayurveda tastes, which are Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Pungent, Astringent.]

This book aims to illuminate Indian cookery by giving the foundations needed to build balanced flavours, dishes and sumptuous feasts. [All from a Bengali perspective, of course. Each region in Indian has very different food and approaches.]

With core techniques including roasting, grinding and tempering spices, how to cook with ghee, chillies, and onions, and what to add and when to re-balance flavours in a dish, Flavour will have home cooks applying fundamental processes intuitively to their cooking of Indian [Bengali] food.

Whatever you think you know about mangoes, Indian and Pakistani mangoes *in season* are very different, and worth seeking out

The first time I ate these ‘fire noodles’ my lips swelled but it was so delicious I kept eating them.

Now it’s something I eat for fun.

I get the 2x spicy because I need to feel something

Partly it’s ’I love spicy food’ and partly it’s ’I’m terrified I’ll lose my ability to eat spicy food and then I’ll be embarrassed when I go home)

I'm #ActuallyAutistic and I know food preparation is difficult for many folks in the community.

But learning to feed yourself is a skill that has cascading effects (I get severely depressed if I don't feed myself food I like). Not to mention, not everyone has the $$ for takeout

I've been sending this 'sad bastards cookbook' to everyone archive.org/details/sad-bastar…

It focuses on 'boil water and eat' and 'ingredients that don't go bad'

Pamelia Chia writes a column on something that I find hard to describe to people in other parts of the world:

"Eating out thus became woven into Singapore’s food culture and customs, while remaining a luxury in other countries.

To this day, so affordable are hawker meals that it is often more expensive to cook unless done regularly and for a large family."

It's so hard to fathom if you have always lived with the opposite reality, but it is totally true

Commentary: Why aren’t Singaporeans cooking at home anymore?

Cooking is not only difficult for time-poor people in Singapore, but also more expensive unless done regularly and for a large family, says cookbook author Pamelia Chia.
