A top-down view of a square aluminum foil pan, tightly cropped. The pan contains a golden-yellow egg bake that has been sliced into squares. The top half of the pan holds remaining slices, which are generously speckled with chunks of red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and dark green chopped coriander. The bottom half of the pan is empty, revealing the shiny, slightly greasy bottom of the foil container where portions have been served.

So just to prove vegans don't subsist entirely on expensive steak substitutes 😂, here's tonight's dinner, stir fry with Cufu (pumpkin seed tofu, https://www.turnbullscufu.co.uk/). I realise this isn't the best example of vegan food not having to be expensive because that is considerably more expensive than soy tofu, but I promise we eat a lot of beans too and I'll post next time I make some.

My kitchen table reading lately has been "Dinner in the Diner: 300 recipes from America's Era of Great Trains" by Will Hollister, 1984.

So this morning I read:

Shrimp Cocktail Sauce
1c mayo
1c chili sauce
4 drops Tabasco sauce...

WHAT: 4 DROPS of Tabasco sauce‽‽‽

Good grief, why bother? 🤨

Here's my collection of Tabasco sauce bottles from the last decade or so. I plan to make a chandelier out of them someday. (Emphasis on "someday.")

Does anyone have advice on cooking tofu? I'm making a red Thai curry for dinner.

I gave up on tofu in my earlier vegetarian days because I didn't enjoy making it, but I've recently read that almost everything I learned about pressing it and cooking it was 1970s US 'make it like meat' vegetarianism and not really how it's cooked in most Asian cuisines.

Or is that just down to how it's packaged/sold in the US?

Making fridge rescue #soup
That is everything that looked like it would end up in the food bin if I didn't soupify it
Turns out the bags of root veg cubes wife got for burns night (that we didn't use, because the ready mashed in microwave option was faster) is actually broth mix, with packets of barley
Bonus, broth now with extra celery and carrot
"Chuckie in" soup was what it was called where I grew up
Cheap lunch for rest of the week in flask with me. Yaaaasss

Bet you can't guess what's in the pie I made this evening...

A freshly-baked pie. I used the off-cuts of the pastry to cut out letters, so the top of the pie says 'MEAT' in big capital pastry letters

"In the age of endless scrolling, #cooking videos have become a kind of visual comfort #food.

Few people understand this language better than #EitanBernath.

#Bernath has been cooking in public for more than half his life. He does not just #cook to feed people. He cooks to connect with them.

“I grew up in #Teaneck, born and raised in Teaneck, #NewJersey, and went to dual-curriculum #Jewish school my whole life,” he told The AJN over Zoom. “Half the day #Judaicstudies, half the day secular studies. And grew up in a very strong community. Obviously, as a #Jew, food is very central to our life.”

That grounding matters."

Search on YouTube is at its worst right now. You type "how to make apple pie," and the algorithm gives you three ads, a viral cat short, and a "For You" video about gaming.

It is what @pluralistic rightly calls enshittification.

I spent the last month refactoring the core script for search fixer. Big improvements:
> A new settings UI that doesn't look like an airplane cockpit.
> Anti-Shorts Protocol: Revert shorts to the normal player.
> Fixed the filters for those annoying auto-generated "mixes" that clutter the results.
