And I will add that MAPLECROFT is just brilliant because it’s Lizzie Borden with an ax against Lovecraftian horrors

Season 1 of The Diplomat was all about what an astoundingly bad idea it would be to start a war with Iran

Like eight episodes of nope, tremendous effort on all sides to avoid it

And these dudes are like fuggit let’s go

Did you know you can watch Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and it’s absolutely soothing watching kaiju chew people up compared to the actual news

The answer is: I tried them

I will not be trying them again

They have been banished to the outer darkness to swim in the void with the nameless horrors

Yep! Fast & easy! Delicious too.

I tend to maybe go heavy on the garnish. But ain’t it purty? Green onions, sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, a bonus drizzle of that chili oil? Heck yes. So dang good (as long as you’re ok with a bit of spice).

Hope you enjoy. Cooking up something you like is good for your mental health too.

Ideally you want the noodles to come out of the pot just drained, still hot. Toss them in your bowl of sauce and mix it up! Y’all, this took ten minutes. All you gotta do now is garnish with goodies and partner with a drink you like and whoa dang, nobody on your street is eating better than you

Get your noodles boiling according to instructions. You’ll just drain and dump into the sauce.
Mix up:
3 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp or so minced ginger
2 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp chili oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp hot water
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sugar
A few shakes o salt

On a wooden cutting board we see soy sauce, rice vinegar, peanut butter, chili oil, sesame oil, three cloves of garlic, some chopped ginger, a small bowl of sugar and salt, and a package of shanxi style noodles.

Ok, so, imagine a little square of whitefish that has been baked and then placed in a shallow pan of butter sauce to wait for hours in a buffet until you get there to risk it. You place that on a kettle chip. There you go.

It's World Book Day.

Thank you to everyone who ever bought or read a book of mine, even if you hated it.

If you've never read a book of mine, but you've read A book, thank you too. A rising tide raises all ships. You're still enabling me 😁

The most important thing is: read more books!

Holy cow this is entertaining. The Torrent tied it up but Ottawa just scored with less than two minutes left
