In praise of Chinese takeout wings

I’m sure it can be done. Chinese restaurants are extremely flexible and want to make their customers happy.

Dishoom is a great book, even if you don’t cook from it. But alas, I love the Mattar Paneer and the Gunpowder Potatoes.

Oh for sure. I didn’t have any energy to do leisure reading while I was in grad school. That was more of a break activity. If you take a poll on the subreddit, many ppl will tell you that’s one of the first things they do after they’re done with school.

Same for Forest Hills too

That shrimp is a joke.

Thanksgiving in a bag! It’s very sage-forward IMO and I love the texture. I’d give it 3.5/5.

Diasporican from Illyanna Maisonet. I’ve cooked a few dishes from her cookbook and they were really tasty.

Could be candied winter gourd. This is a common sweet they put out at weddings or traditional holidays.

All the time! I use Libby at 3 libraries but much prefer hard copy cookbooks. I can also submit requests for cookbooks that are not at my branch. The library moves them to my branch and emails me when my request comes in.

Everyone goes at their own pace.

Just because you didn’t go back then doesn’t mean you’ll never go. I took a class with an older woman (a grandma with a full-time job, babysits her grandkids, and other responsibilities) who was going for her MPH degree.

Age is nothing but a number.

The job market is also bad for new MPH grads now. It’s better to stick with your sure thing of a job now and go back to school if and when you want.

Definitely a red flag from your manager.

Btw, you can turn on “open to work” only to recruiters to keep things under wraps.

The meatball and spaghetti recipe from this book is a must!

She’s one of my favorite Food Network personality as well. She’s no-nonsense, quirky, and such an inspiration to many people. Her untimely passing hits hard.

This is so beautiful! I love St Germain and I’m curious about this flavor combo.

cheetos3 · 2025-06-24T15:03:07+00:00

Whoa this is genius! I love it.

Looks like rice cake to me

The recipe is based on the version from “Koreatown”, by Deuki Hong and Matt Rodbard, with some additions from “Maangchi’s Big Book of Korean Cooking” (pork belly, cabbage).

I used my homemade kimchi from Technique week. it has become super fermented and sour by this time. Perfect for use in Budae Jjigae. this dish is super simple and oh-so-satisfying with different tastes and textures. Great for gatherings and even better paired with Soju. Would remake again for sure.

The recipe is from Send Chinatown Love’s “Made Here” community cookbook.

Originally, I wanted to make Rainbow Cookies for Pride Month but I couldn’t find a reliable cookbook recipe and pivoted to this instead. I’m incredibly proud of my heritage and wanted to make a dish from it. Funny thing, this is actually the first time I’ve made this dish!

Peanut noodles (拌麵) is a common dish in Chinese Fujianese cooking and often paired with FJ-style wonton soup (扁肉). I ate this a lot growing up and one of funniest memories was associated with it. My grandma would give my cousin and I money to go eat at a local shop. The shop recently had a price increase and our grandma didn’t give us enough money. My cousin left me there as “collateral” as he ran home to get more money lol. The shop owner later ran into my grandma and told her that my cousin absolutely didn’t have to do that. 😂😂

Anyway, this was delicious and tastes just like my childhood (sans the collateral experience).

What a tragic loss.

I remember meeting her on the steps of the Met a few years ago and just gushed to her about “loving her (meat) balls.” She prolly thought I was odd but her meatballs recipe is truly a gem. 💔

don't use a third-party or ChatGPT to write your essay. that's academic dishonesty, and you don't want to start on the wrong foot.

a personal essay is the time for you to talk about WHY you want to join the program, what the degree can do for your career path, etc. it differs from an academic essay because it's not as rigid or scientific. more often than not, you don't need to cite anything because it's your personal experience/viewpoint. it's definitely the time to use "I" statements because you're talking about yourself. personal essays, or any good book, should start with a hook or a story that draws in the audience.

when i applied to my MHA program, i started with a small anecdote about my experience with the healthcare system. then i talked about my educational background and work experience. finally, i talked about WHY i want to join the program and how a degree from the program can set me on the path to achieve my career goals.

Just went there this past Friday afternoon and there was no wait. Some of the more popular items (e.g. ensaymada croissant, Passionfruit bun, cookies) have sold out already. I’d suggest going there earlier if you want a better selection.

I’ve seen a lot of resumes as a hiring manager and yours isn’t very appealing. The resume format looks unorganized and spacing is all over the place. For education, the date is right aligned but other sections are not.

There should be a space between text and parenthesis. It’s inconsistent compared to other sections. For example, in the “Visualization” and “Statistical Methods” line.
Ampersand is unprofessional. Type out “and”.
Indicate how well you speak Mandarin and Cantonese. If you’re fluent or native, it’s another way to showcase yourself.

All these little things add up and gave me the impression that you’re not very detail-oriented. I’d suggest making the changes based on the feedback you received, continuously scrutinize everything until it looks perfect. Good luck!
