How to record ICE:

1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE.
2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video.
3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS
4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How?
5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked.

My version of four-day weekend fun: reorganizing, alphabetizing, and extensively labeling my collection of spices. I cook all over the map and prefer to make my own blends from whole spices, so I have a large variety.

Bonus: egregious use of fancy Japanese label maker.

So my friend Carl had a birthday recently and when I asked him whether he had any birthday requests, he thought about it and said "make anything you think I'd like but make sure it's something you haven't made before" because he knows how much I love cooking new things.

I've been baking chocolate chip cookies for a long time. I've made a lot of REALLY good chocolate chip cookies. A friend who I hadn't seen in years once messaged me "I miss your cookies, and also you."

It’s been a weird few weeks watching places I care about being literally and figuratively on fire. And spending Chinese New Year away from home always makes me melancholy. So I spent five hours making laksa from scratch this weekend.

Starting off our whirlwind NYC trip with tacos because Mexican food is sadly not well represented in Vancouver.

Clockwise from top left: lengua (tongue) with chicharron crumbles, carnudo (fried pork belly — I did not know I wanted siu yoke tacos to be a thing, but I’m really glad it is), maciza

Do you ever have the sun come in at exactly the right angle through your windows to highlight the LARGE AMOUNTS OF PET FUR lying on every surface of your apartment because that is happening right now to me and it's horrifying

I ate these tinned scallops tonight with some plain porridge (made with leftover Thanksgiving turkey stock) and they were SO GOOD. Garlicky, spicy, briny. Gotta pick more up the next time I'm in New York.

For the non-skinny Asian girlies out there -- I recently found a new brand of bras that I really really love: Harper Wilde. Most bras above a 38 bra band assume you have a larger cup size, which doesn't work well for a lot of East Asian proportions. harperwilde.com/ [https://harperwilde.com/]

My Thanksgiving report.

Ham using this Food52 recipe: food52.com/recipes/2225...

This is easily the 7th time I've made this recipe and it's a hit every time. I'm relatively sure friends would flip tables if I skipped it for a celebration dinner. 1/?

With the slow degradation of Twitter, I somehow entirely missed that Naomi Wu has been forced to disappear off the Internet. This is upsetting and alarming.
