The Dungeon Meshi renaissance is making me want to share the resources that taught me how to cook.

Don’t forget, you can check out cookbooks from the library!

Smitten Kitchen: The rare recipe blog where the blog part is genuinely good & engaging, but more important: this is a home cook who writes for home cooks. If Deb recommends you do something with an extra step, it’s because it’s worth it. Her recipes are reliable & have descriptive instructions that walk you through processes. Her three cookbooks are mostly recipes not already on the site, & there are treasures in each of them.

Six Seasons: A New Way With Vegetables by Joshua McFadden: This is a great guide to seasonal produce & vegetable-forward cooking, and in addition to introducing me to new-to-me vegetables (and how to select them) it quietly taught me a number of things like ‘how to make a tasty and interesting puréed soup of any root veggie’ and ‘how to make grain salads’ and ‘how to make condiments’.

Grains for Every Season: Rethinking Our Way With Grains by Joshua McFadden: in addition to infodumping in grains, this codifies some of the formulas I picked up unconsciously just by cooking a lot from the previous book. I get a lot of mileage out of the grain bowl mix-and-match formulas (he’s not lying, you can do a citrus vinaigrette and a ranch dressing dupe made with yogurt, onion powder, and garlic powder IN THE SAME DISH and it’s great.)

SALT, FAT, ACID, HEAT by Samin Nosrat: An education in cooking theory & specific techniques. I came to it late but I think it would be a good intro book for people who like to front-load on theory. It taught me how to roast a whole chicken and now I can just, like, do that.

I Dream Of Dinner (so you don’t have to) by Ali Slagle: Ok, look, an important part of learning to cook & cooking regularly is getting kinda burned out and just wanting someone else to tell you what to make. These dinners work well as written and are also great tweakable bases you can use as a starting place.

If you have books or other resources that taught you to cook or that you find indispensable, add ‘em on a reblog.

Two new open-access books on inclusion and decolonization in linguistics!

Inclusion in Linguistics, Anne H. Charity Hudley, Christine Mallinson, Mary Bucholtz (Eds.) (2024), Oxford University Press

Full-text PDF Companion website

Decolonizing Linguistics, Anne H. Charity Hudley, Christine Mallinson, Mary Bucholtz (Eds.) (2024), Oxford University Press

Full-text PDF Companion website

Per Anne H. Charity Hudley, "we strongly encourage readers to engage with [the books] as a pair. The volumes and the models of decolonized and inclusive research, teaching, advocacy, and action that they present are informed by each other." (Source)

They also ask: "In support of publication justice, please share the links rather than the PDF files so that our authors get the download documentation and credit for their work that they deserve." (Source)

Go forth and be educated!

Cheff JJ on ig

Copy-pasted directly from his reel:

ingredients: - 2 cups of flour - 4 cups of water + 1 cup ( for the pasta) - 4 small red onions - 1 cup of brown whole lentils - 1/2 tsp cumin powder - 1/2 tsp coriander powder salt and pepper - 4-5 tbsp olive oil - half a lemon - sumac - fresh coriander

start by mixing 2 cups of flour and 1 cup of water.

knead the dough very well and let it rest while preparing the rest of the meal.

finely dice 3 onions and fry in olive oil, add a cup of washed brown lentils.

season with cumin powder, coriander powder, salt and pepper add 4 cups of water and let it simmer on low for about 10-15 minutes.

flour the counter top and roll the dough as thin as you prefer your pasta to be.

roll the dough on itself and cut it into thin strips. flour the pasta and add it to the pan. cook it for about 5 minutes

slice an onion and fry it in olive oil till it starts to brown and char, you want the char flavor.

reserve some for garnish and add the oil and onion to the pan and mix. serve in a plate, garnish with the onions, lemon, fresh coriander sumac and enjoy

Hakobore's Comic Master-post

For Purchase:

Pearl Hunting

Xiǎo Dān befriends a mysterious and beautiful women named Ān who had moved into her small rural village. Years pass and the village no longer considers Ān to be an outsider as she seamlessly settles into the community. One day the two spend time together collecting pearls by a river, and share mermaid stories they had grown up with. But it is made apparent that one of their stories is not quite like the other.

Give Her Back to Me

Tragedy follows those whose lives are linked by a family heirloom and the strange curse it bequeaths. Simultaneously tender yet haunting, Hana Chatani’s shoujo horror manga depicts the human weakness such a curse reveals, the trauma and loss wreaked upon each generation by the last.

Love Condemns Her

A speculative spin-off of The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen, through a queer eye.

Pass the Baton

A story of queer friendship and positive influences.

Can we stop with the needless buzzwords.

Can we stop with 'cisheteropatriarchy'. Patriarchy by nature favours the cis and the het. There's no need to specify the first two prefixes. They're a given.

Can we stop with 'BIPOC'. It's American-centric, and even if that term was only ever used in the U.S. it's wrong to place an equivalence between anti-blackness and racism aimed at Natives, when many Native tribes partook in the enslavement of Black people in the U.S. Many Black sociologists and history scholars have also argued that there is a case for Indigeneity in African-American culture, since it was literally created on the continent; meaning this term creates an erasure of that Indigeneity. It also ignores that in quite a large portion of the countries of the world the Black, Indigenous, and People Of Colour of the acronym are all just the same group.

Can we stop with "Men & masc" VS. "Women & femmes". There are femme men and masc women. Under patriarchy, masc women do not benefit from misogyny and femme men do not experience it. A masc woman cannot misogynistically oppress her femme gay roommate. That's not how misogyny works.

How do you go about acquiring/sharing these? I'd like to do something similar

hi! i use the image downloader extension for chrome (firefox has smth similar as well) for .png files since it's easy to pick and choose which stickers you want to download.

for gifs, i use the stickers packer extension :-) you just have to unzip and convert the .apng files located in the "animated" folder into gifs. also, you can turn on the downloader buttons for yabe in settings as well, which is an archive site that uploads all the region-locked and limited time stickers!
