Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 12/10/2026One of my favorite stupid food hobbies is veganizing vintage recipes. This was originally mild Crock-Pot shrimp curry, but I swapped in pressed tofu for shrimp and a homemade base for canned soup. The tofu absorbed the sauce a bit and made for a more pleasing texture than shrimp, imo. 000

Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Every year, as the weather turns, I crack open CTCs and ride the caffeine high through seasonal mood swings. Unfortunately, Barry's and Yorkshire Gold are both out of stock. I'm trying Brooke Bond Red Label instead and it's...fine. Inoffensive and kinda boring, which defeats the purpose. #teasky 010
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Back from vacation and using cooking to get my head screwed on again. Tofu scrambles for this week's breakfasts and for lunch/dinner: - Garlicy tofu+veg skewers w/ tres "leches" - curried chickpea salad stuffed inside tomatoes w/ crispy masala potatoes - Creamy protein pasta w/ seasonal veggies 000
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 10/09/2026There are multiple fancy soap stores at our vacation destination and it is a problem, as soap is my favorite luxury besides tea. The bars are all beautiful and smell divine. I have shown great restraint by only purchasing two. There is also a tea shop here, but it's horrid, thank God. 010

Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 30/08/2026My sourdough starter, Sgt. Bill Doughterive, is absolutely loving this weather. I've been capitalizing on his good spirits with lots of baking: two trays of focaccia (seen pre-bake), two multi-grain boules, two pumpkin-apple loaves, and dozens of pancakes (not pictured). All vegan/gluten-free 040

Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I'm off from work today, so get to eat lunch from an actual plate! A riff on Good Earth's roast carrot & black bean pâté, made with red lentils instead of the beans, plus brown rice sourdough crackers and dairy-free Borsin, spinach, and broccoli baked in Schar pastry. 040
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I'm easily amused by food science, but aquafaba tricks are my favorite. (Aquafaba meringues from the Vegan for Everyone cookbook by America's Test Kitchen) 030
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Have read decidedly mixed reviews of Witchcraft for Wayward Girls, so much so that I've been lured in to make a judgment for myself. Let's see where this goes. #booksky 060
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Cracked a bougie white tea cake to see how it stacked up to the cheap-but-tasty white cakes I've been enjoying. It's sour and tastes almost rotten 🤢 I usually brew with a basket infuser, too. This tea must be absolutely undrinkable at gong fu strength #teasky 110
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 26/06/2026There should be a German word for that feeling where your allergies are awful and you have to work all weekend, but Bring Me the Horizon just released a new song, so it's not all bad. 020
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Bought some bulk bin Assam with enough astringency to burn a hole in my stomach lining. I usually don't care for additives in tea, but have to temper this one. My mom bought some mid lollipops a while ago, so I've started stirring them in. It's definitely a tea sin, but a delicious one. #teasky 030
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 18/06/2026This is a depressing one for sure, but well-written and relatable. And, I know it's stylist to shit on audiobooks, but Dion Graham's narration is lovely and engaging and makes me want to listen to everything he's read. #booksky 060

Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 08/06/2026I enjoy exploring different cultures' takes on "traditional" foods. Today, I decided to try a British interpretation of corn bread. It's pretty much cake. Delicious cake. As someone who loves cake, score. As someone who grew up south of the Mason-Dixon Line, disturbing. 020
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Even though I've spent most of my adult life in New Jersey, I've always felt like a bit of an outsider compared to native New Jerseyans.

Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 31/05/2026Received a tub of unwanted virgin coconut oil and had leftover coconut milk, so threw together #vegan coconut French toast with the usual spices and toasted coconut on gluten-free sourdough. I experimented with using a combination of aquafaba and a chickpea flour "egg" in the batter. 10/10 180
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Made a mostly found objects salad: surplus romaine and spinach from my dad's CSA swap, heavily discounted green onions, leftover vinaigrette, and toasted nuts/seeds/sourdough breadcrumbs from storage. I also bought blueberries to round it out, but at least they were wholesale price. Yay plants. 030

Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 04/04/2026I rolled the dice and blind caked a few teas from King Tea Mall. Probably a dumb move, but I've enjoyed everything so far. This one's floral and woody and has a depth I wasn't expecting. It reminds me of a forest after an April shower, but not in a puerh-y way. #teasky 030
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 22/03/2026I've been putting A Little Life off for years because I'm easily upset, but the time has come. Put in about two hours so far and haven't cried yet, but holy wow the use of light and texture in this book is beautiful. #booksky 350
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Entering week six of life on crutches and antsy to get back into the kitchen.

Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Been drinking lots of Blossoms of Health herbal "tea" from Mountain Rose Herbs lately, since too much caffeine makes The Horrors seem even worse.

Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 13/01/2026Used up a bunch of pantry odds and ends to make scones based off of ATK's Vegan for Everybody recipe. I have to eat gluten-free; most of my bakes look pretty normal, but these scones always look sad, despite tasting great. This time, I added a maple drizzle to jazz 'em up a bit. 160
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 10/01/2026Last week, I broke open my first Crimson Lotus cake: 2019's Feist. It has that fruity, lush zip I love in younger shengs, but it's so damn caffeinated that I have to brew it weak. (I average around 10g for a large mug of tea, but only use 4g of this one!) #teasky 040
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 04/01/2026I managed to fuck up just about every step of making #sourdough focaccia. It's a forgiving recipe and turned out okay-ish all the same. Someday, I'll move past adding a simple rosemary and salt topping, but not today. 060

Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Recently been drinking at least one chunk of Mengku Pure Aroma a day. It was a freebie from Yunnan Sourcing, but I would happily pay for another cake. It's straightforward, clean (not fishy or overly funky), and forgiving to brew. Would be a nice entry-level ripe. #teasky 030
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 28/12/2025Santa brought me an electric kettle with a built-in thermometer and it is such a friggin game-changer. It turns out I was guesstimating brew temps far too low. The difference is most noticeable with mate cocido, but I'm sure it will vastly improve spring green teas too. Thanks, Santa! #teasky 170
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 25/12/2025First batch of lasagna since Miyoko's liquidated. Instead, I used Follow Your Heart parm, Daiya mutz, and a combo of Kite Hill and tofu ricotta. It came out great, if you don't factor in the fumble I made while plating. Dijon-dressed salad, gochujang garlic bread, and mixed olives on the side. 080
Silversmush @silversmush.bsky.social · 21/12/2025Noodle soup with tofu, mushrooms, and Napa cabbage. Was going to use snow peas, but they weren't in stock. Decided on bok choy, but a grumpy lady was standing in front of them. Settled on Napa cabbage and I'm glad I did: It soaks up the broth a bit and has a lovely texture. 💚🥬 071
