Alia Ali, food-adjacent

i baru kentut. no i didn't get hacked. hi everyone!

new byline on @seriouseats, this time with @ropuhantnakwagu! seriouseats.com/pinarasakan-ma… click click on it

"is this the jonah hill you want to die on" is my favorite quote this week definitely

@lainie can confirm, i knew your schedule within the first week! it was impressive honestly; i would need so much tenacity to hold down similar routines

me to my family, as i refuse to keep any leftovers: eat your food!! there are children getting shot in the united states!!

maybe just maybe we're mentally ill because of systemic capitalist reasons and not because of our sexuality or gender idk idk 🤔

side-effect of researching edible plants for work is that i now have an (un?)welcome interest in botany. pls rabb i do not need yet another special interest

truly living for this rachael leigh cook comeback

'please do the needful' no pls stop using that phrase first

after inheriting multiple leftover ingredients + tools from diff kitchens and going through our pantry and tools etc i've finally FINALLY finished reorganizing the home kitchen. hot damn this is a fine place to work

@juanajaafar thank you juana!!!

@thealia Congrats, Alia. What a lovely read 🙂

@sortedfood a moulinex food processor! it was the first kitchen thing I got for myself in 2001? i think? still going strong, just used it today to prep the spice mix for a laksa :)

Let’s chat… What kitchen gadget have you had the longest? 👀

@thealia Thank you so much! Did we mention my song on today's episode?

@mamster long time fan of spilled milk here (idk if you remember me serendipitously connecting with you on ynab support lol) holy bananas i'm listening to your band now and I fucking love your voice and energy!! it's now AND wow!!

@dbgermane this is my FAVORITE cny dish 😍 i made my partner make it the year cny was locked down and we ate it just the two of us hehehe

We’re not even Chinese but my dad made poon choi.

Happy Chinese New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai!

ps - this is not the sambal belacan piece, that's a separate one (belacan ≠ sambal belacan!!), i'll ping yall when that happens 😌 good god i can really waffle on and on

me: i'm writing a 1000 word headnote for a sambal belacan recipe @hazerylism: how can you waffle on about belacan for that long me: this is what I literally DO *sends link* eater.com/23541170/what-… cheers to @HariharanAnnie for bringing me along for the ride!
