lol was it stinky tofu?!?!

Which god smells truly terrible but tastes so good - but I’d only eat it fried. Or was it oyster “pancakes”? I’ve realized the Taiwanese have an (imo almost alarming <.<) penchant for gooey foods… which is not a thing/texture I can get with.
Trying to think of weird foods

I’ve heard that! [Food] people talk about goose fat potatoes but rarely seem to cook goose so I’m like “where is all this goose fat coming from?!”
😅😇 re: geese I’m really just interested in their down feathers. Gimme comforters, pillows, and jackets! 😹💯

🤞🤞🤞
So far no pies or even sweets here, but I’m playing with the idea of making this - food52.com/recipes/1514... - toasting the pumpkin is life changing. I pretty much toast my pumpkin for any recipe now.
At some point I’ll make an orange pumpkin cranberry cake but likely for myself for Christmas.

Oh I don’t know if I’ve had something cooked in goose fat before. Maybe at a restaurant but I don’t remember if so. Duck fat fries were very popular in the 00s iirc … and of course I’ve had things cooked in lard.
I can’t tell what kind of oil was used for eg stir fries but my dad can.

I kinda want to make this - smokinandgrillinwitab.com/sweet-potato... with the caramel on the side & no crumble topping. I’ve made it before with neither topping & a ginger snap crust & it was really good & surprisingly easy. >.> I think I used low fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream even…

Yum! This makes me want to roast the kabocha I have …

Nice! I’ve never been to China. If I did go though I probably still wouldn’t have goose/it’s not [ever] going to be my protein of choice. Crispy roast duck on the other hand, yes please.

I’ve tried oat, soy, coconut, and almond milk(s), even a black bean “milk” before, but none are as good as cream imo - it’s just I can only add a little.

My family always dry brines whatever fowl - chicken, duck, the rare turkey or even rarer goose (😅 dunno why I’m pretty resistant to the last)

😬😅 meanwhile I’m like “why coffee if no cream?”

Yum + yay!
I love roasted vegetables too. Yum.

It looks it! Tho tbh I’d be happy with like the cream of mushroom soup kind too - I’d just sauté some sliced mushrooms with garlic probably to add in/bump it up a bit.
I’m the only one in my family who likes any casserole though so it never happens. I don’t think I’ve made a noodle casserole in yrs.

Oooo that looks so good - and cooking the mushrooms in the shallot oil 💯 (though tbh I’d probably go with like store bought Vietnamese ones too)… I actually love a good green bean casserole but very rarely have it.

Was grumpy 😜

I love that the stadium naturally disperses/releases heat. And it’s got the fan and ship inspirations. So cool!

I mean 😒 I imagine the stupid tariffs have hit stuff from Taiwan too.
But also Taiwanese tea is really good.
