a pot of beef birria

a quesedilla made with the beef birria

and tuhDAY i made birria (this time just beef no stew ingredients). it's certainly labor intensive but soooo worth it. made quesadillas with cheese cooked onto the outside yes indeedy

a chicken thigh covered with a sweet red sauce on a plate

today i reheated the chicken i was making when my dad died and it was phenomenal. i forgot the star anise bc i was real stressed out from the condition he was in but it still turned out so good. i made it with love, i wish he could've tasted this

a cup of unstrained agua fresca with foam at the top from the blender

today i had some grilled food brought by a dear friend (cue the funeral food video with beautiful by snoopnand pharrell) and i made this agua fresca out of the sliced watermelons we were given. lovely stuff

the previous post's recipe applied to a chicken thigh, seen here on a plate

it's also excellent on chicken, it's my brother's favorite thing i make and was the last thing i cooked for my dad. he absolutely loved it. it's also what i was cooking for him on his last day with us. i froze it but the rest of us in the family plan to eat it tomorrow. it'll be beautiful

Classic Shanghai Pork Belly: Hongshaorou (红烧肉), Red-Cooked Pork Recipe for the perfect 红烧肉 (hóngshāoròu) red-cooked pork belly to pass down to my daughter. Hongshaorou in just 8 ingredients!

recipe here:

pork belly and rice on a plate

this was a real good one, shanghai style red cooked pork belly. i'll drop the recipe in the next post

brown the hearts with a bit of oil, remove from heat, add vegetables and cook until soft, add hearts back and simmer (iirc about 30 minutes to an hour)

it is!! here's what to use:

marinate the hearts and vegetables of choice with soy sauce to taste and 1/2 cup vinegar (i got the datu puti two pack just for this), 1 tbsp sugar, garlic to taste, four bay leaves, a lot of black peppercorns and 1/2 cup water

a pot full of birria stew

the same stew, now in a bowl

beef birria stew with monkfish, carrots and potatoes. sensational. i had a mishap where i knocked over my food processor and had to desperately regather the chiles and whatnot but it all worked out and turned out amazing

a plate with chicken hearts, bok choy and rice on it

chicken heart adobo, this was actually so so amazing. this was the second batch i made, the first had mushrooms instead of rice iirc but i didn't get a pic. i can't wait until i can make this again

a bowl of pho with rice, chicken, kale and part of a charred onion

next up is some quick pho i made with a rotisserie chicken. this one actually got liked by a vietnamese spot in osaka! if i ever by some twist of fate end up in osaka i gotta hit that shop just as courtesy lol

a bowl containing rice, shrimp, bok choy and rice

seasonings on the shrimp: suya spice mix garlic powder smoked paprika black pepper sauce ingredients: three tbsp peanut butter, two creamy and one crunchy bc we're low on crunchy one tbsp tomato paste about 1 1/2 cups water two tbsp brown sugar one tbsp tamarind paste unmeasured "little bit" of shrimp paste 1 1/2 tsp of minced garlic rice was toasted in 1 tbsp butter prior to cooking

missozma cooking thread time!! first here's some stuff i've posted on the sunken bird over the spring and summer, starting with this shrimp and rice pad thai with bok choy (with the recipe bc this was all me just improvising)

it's absolutely mindblowing tbh

i'm gonna post more recipes here maybe tomorrow. stuff i've been making over the past year. i've really gotten into cooking even more since june

it is EXCELLENT on chicken thighs, it was a major hit with the whole family

my dad (noted sugar on meat hater) actually requested sugar in it for the chicken and he was right, it was great. you might wanna try it that way too! one or two tbsp depending on how sweet you desire

Pasilla Garlic Shrimp This tender shrimp in a garlicky pasilla chile sauce will make you want to lick your plate clean.

i adapt it from this recipe with minor changes, mostly measurement wise to match the difference in weight (i only do 1 lb of shrimp at a time so i use half the butter)

top view of a bowl of shrimp and rice

finally cooked today after a week of eating food we were given by kind, caring friends. made pasilla garlic shrimp. absolutely amazing and one of my favorite foods atm

🫂🫂 thank you my friend, i should post some stuff i've made over this year that i posted on the hell app once i'm ready

missed you! hope to speak more soon

i fear people underestimate, sometimes, how terribly fascist the world has become and how horrifying it is that there is no internationalist political vehicle to counteract the "every framework of politics is structurally operating like an ultranationalism" situation

it's basically a given that whiteness is tied to nazism. like that is the trivial example. investment in whiteness is investment in nazism. the consolidation of the global world system under the imperialist arrangement has created a whole host of new nazisms.

yeah white trans people and white cis people have a nazi problem but the big shift of the 21st century is that every demographic has been developing a nazi problem in different and similar ways at this point and once again people are not really able to figure out how to deal with this

but yeah i love designing characters and making them look Perfect and similar across multiple games, can't wait to have the excitement in my body to show everyone

i mod games heavily and make my characters and take screenshots of them 👍🏽✨ i was just about to post some earlier this month and i was showing some ppl in dms then a wave of depression hit which i think was me lowkey knowing what was coming

this means so much to hear 🫂❤️ it's a weird complicated contradictory bundle of feelings but i'm trying to focus on what i *can* do and not the hypotheticals

omg ykw??? when i'm feeling up to it i wanted to start sharing my game character screenshots some more and i really wanted you to see

i'm actually kinda shocked at all the support my family is getting through this... we always thought we'd be alone through everything but the outpouring of support has been beautiful 🫂

i'm gonna try to hang out in the chill zone more cause i missed y'all ❤️ thank you

omg i missed you!! i didn't know if you were still active but here you are 🫂 thank you a lot, it's been surreal and often difficult just even these past few days but it's up from here... it's gotta be y'know?

errr uhhh this feels super awkward that i got algorithm'd now of all times lemme tag a few of y'all

@jagerbott.bsky.social @infernalmodem.online @kilinatorr.bsky.social @shrimpwonton.bsky.social

i was gonna come back around sooner but when suddenly i had that week in april when i could barely get out of bed followed by two months of figuring out my new dietary restrictions i just didn't feel right but... one of my best friends is gone so rn i need to speak to more ppl so hi

hey everybody on the bisky... idk how to say this any better but i've had quite a bumpy year between the health scare i had in late spring and yesterday my dad just died

i just wanted to let you guys know i guess and maybe get back to hanging out more with y'all on the greener grass app

i still haven't shown off more of my characters yet (i was back in the lab retooling them and gathering screenshots) AAAAND... i haven't spoken about this yet but i'm #inthestudio (my bedroom) doing some real actual recording 🫡

schweet and you know i will be there to read it when you do!!
