When I cook soup, I love adding random things to help smooth out some edges. Many tricks I’ve learned from older people in Asia.
If something is way too salty, instead of just adding water, do that and also add an apple or pear core.
If you’re making something savory and it feels like it’s missing some oomph but you can’t put more salt, put a tea bag in there for a few min (remember to take it out before it gets bitter)
An apple a day keeps the doctor away!

#introduction update for my second Mastodon anniversary!
I'm a #nonbinary #transmasc #lgbtqia person in my late 30s, I live in #Finland and pretty much toot in English.
I've been with my partner for over 16 years, we run a #pinball arcade together as a hobby. We have two elderly #cats who also get shared on here on the occasion.
I play a lot of #VideoGames, especially #RPGs and post about my progress, usually with pictures or videos.
I enjoy #travel, I've been to 13 different countries so far. I also enjoy meeting people from all around the world.
I do a lot of #crafts especially when the weather is bad. I #knit, #crochet and #CrossStitch
I'm a #chef by profession, I love good #food and great #coffee. I've been working at a student cafe on a uni campus for almost 7 years.
I like #cycling and try to keep some sort of decent condition with it. We have pretty good cycling routes in my home town. Photo evidence is shared on the occasion.
If you read this far, and share interests, give me a follow 😁
Cooking Internet is full of people complaining about not being able to cook rice consistently and then East Asian people saying ‘just get a rice cooker’ and them saying ‘never’

Everything I’ve ever learned about cereal foods in America has been against my will.
Cornflakes were invented by Kellogg’s to prevent masturbation. And now I’ve just learned Chex was created by white supremacists to try to give white people mind control powers
Wacky Cake
This recipe comes from the Great Depression when butter, eggs, and milk were rationed.
DRY
1.5 cups flour
1 cup white sugar *
4 tbsp cocoa powder
1tsp baking SODA
1/2 tsp salt
WET
1 cup warm water
6 tbsp oil*
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp white vinegar
1. Preheat oven 350°F
2. Spray oil two 8"x8" baking pans. ** This needs to done BEFORE you mix the batter.
3. In a large bowl add all DRY ingredients and whisk well to distribute the baking soda evenly. Create a well in the center.
4. In another bowl, add and stir together all the WET ingredients.
5. Give the wet ingredients a quick stir to incorporate the oil and slowly pour into the DRY ingredients. Whisk together until all the lumps are gone. The batter will froth a bit because the vinegar and baking soda are reacting.
6. IMMEDIATELY divide the batter between the two baking pans. Tap the pans on the counter to remove any larger bubbles. Place in oven and bake at 350°F for 12-15 mins.
** Until tooth pock pulls clean.
* I use 3/4 cup of sugar and only 5 tbsp oil to reduce calories.
This cake also freezes well.
If you use 2 - 8"x8" pans the layers will be thin and will cook with 12-15 minutes.
** If use only 1- 8"x8" pan, it will take 18-20 mins.
Extra: instead of frosting, I add a handful of chocolate chips to top of cake when come out of oven to melt, then spread evenly w spatula. This creates a chocolate coating like on z dingdong.
Highly recommend this gem: Moëca in Cambridge. 10-15 mins walk from either Harvard Sq or Porter. Pleasantly surprised by the food. We had
- grilled scallop (in the picture)
- cauliflower which is actually broccoli but the best broccoli I've ever had
- fried monkfish
- fried & grilled squid
- raw oysters (but with some garnish)
- spaghetti with Maine lobster
Every dish tasted wonderful.
Btw our waiter is cute af 🤣
Thinking of starting a dumpling club. Like a book club but every month we eat dumplings together and talk about them on Zoom.
There will be some recommended dumplings, or you can make or buy your own and that’s okay too.
I feel like eating dumplings with people when the world is burning feels like something I want to do.

My mum accidentally put instant coffee into her instant cup noodles (we are on a road trip) and, to my horror, kept eating it. ‘Some noodles and wrong noodles are better than no noodles’
