I randomly wandered into a dumpling shop I’ve never heard of next to SFSU and, well I think I’ve found my favorite xiaolongbao in the city. It’s better than all the more famous ones!!
It’s called Mom Dumpling in park Merced. They make their own dumpling dough AND noodles. The crab and pork xlb is especially good, almost as good as the good ones I’ve had in Taiwan and Shanghai

This one came out iffy but it's mostly my fault. I didn't want this one (missed the chance to pick)
Should have trimmed the green beans better, I added potato water back and shouldn't have, but it tastes good so who cares. I already put some of the potatoes in a tub so it looks unbalanced
It's been about 6 months and a couple of pronouns since the last "decent home meal" post!
Here is pork sausage, tomato, and peas soup with bread
Bread was burnt, who cares, delicious. My toaster oven seems 50-100 degrees hot.
Should have cooked before doing the nails, smudged one of the thumbs but oh well, learning. Also first time doing REAL cooking with the kittens harassing me
I wondered through the aisles clutching my shopping list like a talisman against the near-overwhelming desire to buy more than I could possibly carry home. I probably looked confused, and I was a little confused, but more than anything I was overwhelmed with joy.
The #mulberries are coming off the tree thick & fast! Even the #chickens can't keep up (I think their diet is solely #berries) 🤣! I have about 4 lbs. altogether in the fridge. I guess I better prepare to make jam or throw 'em in the freezer! 😅 #canning#foraging#Food#Mulberry

An Israeli strike killed three family members travelling by car in central Gaza’s Nuseirat. The people killed ran a kitchen providing free meals for Gaza’s displaced.
~ It would be very nice to have an ongoing thread Here of varied comfort foods that we all could sample! Share Your faves with images and/or recipes. I love a good old fashioned Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich on both regular bread and toasted. I never grow tired of them😋

Starting a thread on the different types of tofu and how to cook them. (Some of these are vegan, some are not. In Chinese cooking, tofu is not a vegan protein):
Egg tofu
This is one of my fave tofus. It isn't vegan. It's made with soy beans AND eggs. It has a eggy taste that egg lovers will love; but that goes way entirely when it's panfried lightly.
Among the 'boxes' in my pantry I treasure, is one marked 'Salts: different kinds'
From that here's one
Black salt , kala namak (Hindi), beet noon (beet salt; Bengali). Terrific stuff but in very small doses - smells like rotten eggs, hydrogen sulfide.
Use in lassi, chaat or as I did recently, in Kolkata style rolls 👇🏽 https://mastodon.online/@SRDas/112527801868835844
