I just finished watching "Galavant", which means I wasted six years of my life not watching this musical two-minute nugget of perfection youtu.be/4iCzOllSjLU

@didipaterno I have two of those manatee infusers, given to me by two different people. 😂 I never use em but they're cute so I'll probably keep em until I die.

@maxfalkowitz @doriegreenspan After I got off the phone, one of my friends in the office told me I had been giggling excessively during the call. Oh god. 🤣 Anyhoo, Dorie makes you feel like you're an important friend who is worth her time and in the moment I BELIEVE IT (and then later I come to my senses)

When Beurre & Sel opened in the Essex St Market @roboppy and I did a little market walk-around with @doriegreenspan. She gave us THREE HOURS to eat and gab. Greeted me with a bear hug. Had we met before? Nope. Role model. Icon.

@maxfalkowitz @doriegreenspan Did I ever tell you bout when I was still an SE baby and I interviewed Dorie on the phone about macarons and she was insanely generous with her time and talked to me like we were buddies and made me feel so warm n fuzzy but I was prolly glistening in nervous sweats the whole time

@FakeBenJay @maxfalkowitz @seriouseats @dotdashco I didn't go through and save anything because I didn't expect anything to interesting to get deleted. They cut my Other Half profile (to my knowledge the first profile of the brewery anywhere!) but I saved it with wayback machine.

@suyeelin Anyhoo if you make the pistachio honey mooncakes, let me know how it goes! I used 25g of dough for each mooncake to go with 25g filling, but I think 25g dough was too much. But I'm thinking in "thin traditional mooncake skin" terms. For a shortbread cookie thingy it's ok.

Has anyone else made these honey pistachio mooncakes (epicurious.com/recipes/food/v…)? It says the dough is for 12 pieces, but it makes enough for at least 24. It seems like such a big error though that I've been questioning if I know how to do math (I..I think I do?).

@suyeelin Actually another big part of my mooncake obsession is that I like to give homemade mooncakes to my Chinese diaspora friends. If I had no one to give mooncakes to, I probably wouldn't make so many. The line between "GAWD I LOVE BEAN PASTE" and "I'm sick of bean paste" is thin. 😂

@suyeelin Totes understandable. Distance made the heart grow fonder for me--I only became obsessed with making decent mooncakes after moving to Norway. In the US, I'd be like, "Guess it's time for me to eat my yearly mooncake then immediately get tired of it until next year."

@foodinmouth I think I messed up by making the crust too thick and overbaking the cakes (had trouble browning well). That's my bad. I think it tastes pretty good as a nut-filled shortbread cookie thing, but not so good I'd make this over a mooncake filled with good ol' bean mash.

@foodinmouth Recipe isn't hard, but I think it's written surprisingly not well? It doesn't say how many grams the filling/crust should be, but precision is pretty important for mooncakes (...or I'm hella anal).

@suyeelin Another note, I made it with almonds instead of pistachios cos that's what I had.
