Yeah. I have to eat low carb for medical reasons, but I couldn’t do without vegetables. Apart from anything else I need cheap leafy greens like cabbage and Asian greens as a substitute for the cheap carbs I used to bulk my diet out with, as my food budget is pretty tight. 

Benson + Brian Cassidy 4 eva.

Korean barbecue featuring marinaded beef, spicy chicken and plain pork belly, with all the bossam necessities - lettuce leaves for wrapping, radish kimchi, oysters, all the sweet spicy salty pastes for condiments, raw garlic slices, chilli pepper slices. Vegetable banchan, plus steamed rice for the people who won’t

I’m not American but I love books about other countries’ foods, especially America, and I have two of Lewis’. They’re among my favourites. 

He’s not a troll but he has a MASSIVE blind spot when it comes to recognising that non-black POC can be subject to abuse, persecution and discrimination, just in different ways to Black people. As his comment here clearly demonstrated. :/

If they had to make a weirdo big budget Hollywood movie adaptation of the musical “Evita”, I wish they’d waited and done it now with her.

I’ve been pretty dismayed at how many people are focusing on trying to parse out whether his issue was with Asians, women or sex workers, as if it couldn’t be (as it clearly was) all three. Captain Baker, the women were targeted for being Asian AND female AND sex workers, FFS. /an Asian female sex worker 

As a female Asian sex worker (though not an American) I’ve spent a bit of time over the last several hours reminding some people that hating Asians vs hating women vs hating sex workers isn’t mutually exclusive. In this case it was clearly a scenario in which he hated all three, you don’t have to pick one to focus on

I love canned oysters! They were actually my gateway to raw oysters, which I didn’t try until well into adulthood and only managed to brave that first half dozen because I sternly told myself I loved the smoked canned ones so how bad could this be?

My favourite food museum I’ve been to is the Kimchi museum in Seoul.

I loved how in the first episode Jamie actually said “So this is how you pronounce it and how I’ll try to pronounce it throughout this series. But if you smugly correct someone for saying it the other way, you’re a shitty person.” XD

This hardly ever seems to get discussed as part of #MeToo but the powerful men who make sex appeal a job criteria for subordinate women so those women have to put up with all kinds of bullshit are also excluding and denying opportunity to women who don’t meet their standard of appearance. This demographic of women -

Or the teenage daughter of one of his rich upper class friends. Because THAT’s different. 

FWIW, and you will prob be unsurprised by this, Mortal Dictata is a dude.... 

Yet if someone he cares about needs one I’m sure they’d find a way, because that’s different to some trashy little slut being irresponsible. 

I swear when I went to America on holiday a few years ago, the concept of tipping was the thing that stressed me out the most as I was getting ready.

I think it’s good for kids and teenagers, as they usually need the regular fuel plus it’s part of maintaining stability and routine. But for sure not all adults do. When I’m living alone and don’t have someone else’s routine to work with, I’ve noticed I tend to eat one main meal of the day either at breakfast or

Yeah, MD considers himself the appointed sole expert on all things UK here...

Were the Trumps the first first family in ages to not have pets? Thinking back amongst everything else that went on for those years I’ve suddenly noticed I don’t think I ever read anything about them having animals.
