i got a jar of mint chutney to try for the first time and i really love it! i added it on a whim to this pasta and it turned out so good! what do you like to pair mint chutney with? greensicko

how it was made

for the sauce i blended up half a cup of cashews, one onion, mint chutney, nutritional yeast, a few drops of maggi seasoning, garlic powder, and salted pasta water.

seasoned the canned lentils with black pepper, salt, and ground coriander then added them to the drained rotini and mixed in three blocks of frozen spinach until they were all thawed.

just mixed the sauce in after that and it was done!

more siopao! (hexbear.net)

so today's mushroom and tofu siopao turned out soooo much better than the batch i made the other day. last time i think i made the mistake of letting the dough dry out so they were very difficult to work with but this time i left them in a plastic container so they stayed soft and malleable while i was filling each one. i was able to stuff them with so much more filling too! idk i'm pretty proud of these ones!!!! :D

mushroom and tofu siopao! (hexbear.net)

it was my first time making these and i struggled a bit with the dough and stuffing technique but they turned out tasty so it was all worth it! my partner ate them growing up and they really liked it so i'm very happy!!! i have lots of leftover filling so we're gonna make more tomorrow but now time for rest.

how'd i do it?

so for the filling i pan fried some crumbled extra firm tofu, diced dried shitake mushrooms, diced onion, minced garlic and ginger in oil. seasoned it with salt and pepper as well as a mixture of oyster mushroom sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and mushroom stock. then added a cornstarch slurry toward the end.

i basically followed this video (cw: not vegan / meat) but had to substitute the yeast entirely with baking powder cause i didn't have any on hand. i also made the dipping sauce from this video as well!

chickpea salad sandwich! (hexbear.net)

this has been our lunch for the past few days but it's all gone now. i already want to make more! i think this is my favorite sandwich and it's so easy to make too! 😋

how it's made

roasted a can of chickpeas in an oiled pan with some salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. as those were browning i diced one yellow onion and a quarter of a red pepper. then i transferred the chickpeas to a bowl and mashed a little more than half of them. added the onion and red pepper, and mixed it with tahini, dijon mustard, and vegan mayonnaise. topped it off with lemon juice and the sandwich filling was done! had it on some sourdough toast with lettuce!

veggie stir fry with soya chunks! (hexbear.net)

just made this with my partner for lunch and it was so good. i'm not the best at stir frying yet but i'm quite happy with how this turned out! 😋

how it's made

we seasoned the boiled, rinsed, and squeezed soya chunks with some oyster mushroom sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, white pepper, and cornstarch then fried it in a wok on medium high heat until it took on a nice colour and sear before removing them from the wok.

then i stir fried the onion and red pepper, added the cooked soya chunks back in then added the sauce and cornstarch slurry. the sauce had some oyster mushroom sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, paprika, sesame oil, siracha, apple-based vegan honey, and water. once the sauce coated everything nice and thick it was ready to be served with some rice!

that's such bullshit, i really hope they back down about it. would love to know their reasoning for the no mask rule but it's most likely just that mask equals bad vibes doggirl-growl

costco has been doing a lot of youtuber sponsorships lately as well. genuinely have been seeing their logo at least once everytime i open youtube. they're really trying to push a good image for sure and it definitely wouldn't be suprising if it was related to the strike.

[CW: Fatphobia, possible ED triggers] Yo can we deal with the rampant unchecked fatphobia on this platform ASAP? by whatnots in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 33 points 5 months ago

can't have a post talking about fatphobia without someone talking about unhealthy food.

can't have a post talking about fatphobia without someone wanting to concern troll about the "obesity epidemic".

can't have a post talking about fatphobia without someone wanting to promote losing weight.

can't have a post talking about fatphobia without someone wanting to position their experiences with weight and weight loss as universal.

y'all literally can't help yourselves!!! come to terms with how your implicit fatphobia is harmful and learn and grow from it!!!!! listen to the effort posting from people with marginalized bodies and look into to the sources they are kindly giving you!!!

yeah anytime fatness is brought up here i feel like i have to brace myself and i've been purposely avoiding that recent thread because i knew it would devolve into fatphobia. it's genuinely so demoralizing to see on hexbear.

thank you for calling it out cause i was much to anxious to and i'm really hoping people do self-crit about this.

anyways i love my fat queer body ok! kirby-spin

i really appreciate the new stance on bits by admins and mods. my autism found it much more stressful than funny and i think most people felt the same.

thank you heart-sickle

i realize i haven't posted at all in this strugglesesh which is honestly a good thing because even just reading it all has landed me a massive headache but i'm so serious when i say that i believe that bits should not have a place in these kinds of discussions. people are genuinely upset and i really don't think the confusion that is arising from these bits and inside jokes are helping the matter and are rather spiraling things further out of control. deeper-sadness

Would any students or even teachers/profs be willing to give me feedback on my (very) short essay?

It's an essay about how Bisclavret: The Werewolf (a medieval story) is a queer allegory about coping with human nature being different than what is described in Adam and Eve (i.e cis heteronormative monogamy) which was and is the dominant Christian view of human nature.

Most of the essays on Google/DuckDuckGo that come up when you look up "Bisclavret" are queer essays, including an essay published by the foundation of original author, but my prof told me:

you didn't even talk about the major point of the story which is that Bisclavret is a werewolf
I don't know why you think the king and Bisclavret are engaged in a sexual relationship
the connections to homosexuality are tenuous at best

I just want to know if he's docking my marks based on his personal bias or if I'm genuinely not meeting the rubric. I'm second guessing myself and I'm worried I'm overreacting, I'm very sure that I met the rubric requirements but I feel like he just doesn't like my analysis or wants to shut it down because it was using a queer lens (white presumably religious cis het male prof from a religious university/college). I’m afraid if I dispute it he will retaliate and grade me even worse but I also feel very discouraged so if I'm not overreacting I want to dispute it.

I can send an anonymized link to a scrubbed essay and the professor’s feedback through DM if anyone wants to help kitty-birthday-sad
