🇻🇳Ngon quá! That's Vietnamese for "So delicious!" 😋
Today was a perfect example of the wonderful community we have at the Malden Senior Center! Before my strength class, one of our Vietnamese members surprised me with homemade spring rolls and sauce. So grateful for this surprise treat! ✨

Question about whether people with nut allergies can eat local food in Singapore: probably not, except at very specialized restaurants (nut allergies are almost unheard of there)
According this study, peanut allergy prevalence in Singapore is only 0.1-0.3%, compared to >1.40% elsewhere: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7016321/

singapore broadcaster channelnewsasia has a very interesting series where a masterchef chef is tasked with trying to recreate family recipes which have been 'lost'
this metafilter thread has a list of the episodes
in a food culture where food is very important and personal yet very little is written down and every family does the same dish very differently depending on your personal background, this is valuable.
i think for example of how when my grandma passed away, my mum tried to replicate her teochew kiam chye ark tng (teochew salted veg and duck soup), and that made me feel very comforted in my grief.

The country may be going through a crisis that is invisible to the outside world, which prefers to reduce the country to a chronically unviable nation, where aid efforts are useless. But the so-called “poorest country in the Western Hemisphere” – another label that reinforces the notion of impotence of those who see it from the outside – shows that it is developing solutions to its own problems and has much to teach the rest of the world.

Celebrating the #BSDCafe birthday with love. And, of course, tiramisu.



With kid2 only going in to kindergarten & #homeschool after that, I never got to indulge in packing lunch.
So with her off to piano camp for a week I got to play a bit & pack her favorite: #onigiri. These are filled with spicy mayo tuna (with remainder from Saturdays sushi lunch* ; fresh made and seasoned sushi rice). Made a 2nd set too (not shown) for Kid1 (her fav too!) as she heads to an off-site location for her summer lab volunteer gig. Nori packed separate

"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.”"
