the Thai one is substantially porkier than the Vietnamese one, but either will do that thing that beans need (along with garlic powder and chipotle or smoked paprika)

turmeric and cardamon also go along nicely add green beans and you're nearly at fassolia, an Ethiopian dish

88¢ in the clearance bin of St Marks Sounds in Greenwich Village in 1994. Bought it based solely on the cover. Extraordinary music. Kicked off a thirty-year obsession with Japanese rock that has easily taken $10K of my money.

"Hattori," the third album by the Japanese band Unicorn. Guy on the front cover was the mayor of their hometown, Hiroshima, when they were kids.

not sure what we call this. two potatoes, two scallions, one jalapeno, one egg. salt, pepper, and vinegar. hell yeah I'm putting ketchup on it.

a frittata kind of thing on a plate, with crispy edges of thinly sliced fried potatoes and char-tipped scallions poking out the top of a layer of egg custard.

sorry i ate the last bagel. i will make another batch tomorrow

half an Everything bagel, topped with mashed avocado, sliced tomato, strands of pickled red onion, shaved persian cucumber, chiffonade basil, and sichuan chili crisp oil. there's a spoon next to it, coated with some of the oil

this guy. I've found his "how to roll" videos to be helpful as well. I definitely was using the mat incorrectly.

correction: i hadn't looked at the street signs or alt text, cuz i thought i recognized the building from memory. THIS is the northwest corner of Broadway and what used to be Maryland Ave.

this is, admittedly, a bastardization of a popular Taiwanese breakfast meal, you tiao + soy milk, which comes in both a savory version and one with a distressing quantity of sugar dissolved in the milk.

Really one of the best prosumer decks ever made. The remote has a frame-by frame jog wheel AND a spring-loaded scan shuttle! I also tracked down the little box Sony made that converts S-Video and composite to FireWire. (There are better inexpensive digitizers now.)

I bought mine in 2018 from an eBay seller who unfortunately appears to be no longer active. Traditional bagel boards are just coarse burlap wrapped around planks of wood; these have a thick sheet of aluminum in between that I think makes them easier to grip with a potholder at flippin' time.

LaDelfa @ladelfa.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

You seem to be doing an excellent job without them, so I'm reluctant to suggest any changes. What they do is allow you to bake the bagels upside-down for a few minutes. The side that'll ultimately be the bottom dries just enough not to adhere to the stone when you then flip them off the board.
