Survived SDCC Preview night
Today with a patient I saw in consultation in the hospital.
Me: Hi I'm Dr. (my name). I'm one of the neurologists, and your doctor wanted me to come by and see you.
Him: Hi. I'm a big fan of Godzilla.
Me:... okay!
Casual racism at its finest. He also apparently said some sexist shit to my resident too.
How many of you guys are Canadian, anyways?
How many of you guys are Canadian, anyways? My branch of the family is basically the only part that lives in America, everyone else is in Canada (Toronto and some rural areas)
Every time I want to go to Pacific mall in Toronto none of my cousins want to go because it's no longer fun for them to gawk at stuff there >.>
Yo, you guys still got McPizza up there?
Yeah, I would totally eat that if they had it here.2nd only to the McLobster on the "why?" scale
Wait... you don't like Godzilla?
Are you using bones and mirepoix (carrots, onions, and celery)? If not, get those in there!

Meat contributes very little flavor to soup. Most of the body/texture of soup comes from stock, which comes from bones. For chicken, you'll want to cook them for about 4 hours, whereas for beef you can go for longer. It's not necessary to roast the bones or mirepoix, but you can for a darker stock. A lot of Asian soups just use whatever bones are on hand from cooking other dishes (often pork) and just throw that in a pot of boiling water with some ginger to form the base of whatever else you want to add in later.
For western stock mirepoix I would add to Sept's onions, carrots, and celery some parsley and a small bit of whole peppercorns. Leek too, if beef stock.
From what I learned, good stock takes longer than 2 hours to make. My teacher told me her rule of thumb was at least 8.I made a pork neck bone soup this week. I blanched the bones in boiling water for about 5-10 min, then let it simmer for 2 hours. I added starseed, ginger, onions, carrots and daikon, then added salt adjusted to taste. The meat was good and very tender. The broth felt a bit...lacking? It was still ok and I enjoyed it, but it felt like some of the flavor was lost. I meant to simmer, but it may have gone to slightly boiling at times (which I quickly adjusted down). I thought the bones would be enough to add a lot of flavor. Did I need to season it with more stuff, or did I screw up with the occasional light boil?

How is it that I've been here for 7 years and yet never knew about this thread?

Sup.

BRETHREN!!

Hahaha, why would I not want to join us fellow Asians? I'm sure you know I'm passionate about Asian issues just like you!Wait seriously.
I see you around ALL THE TIME but I figured you just didn't want to join us.
My Switch came in the mail today and Walmart hasn't cancelled my SNES Classic preorder from last night so I think I actually got through in time
I also was able to get a preorder in last night. No notification of cancellation either.
Yoooo...... Jay Park got signed to Roc Nation?! That's fucking huge for any Asian American musician. Props to him 👏
Yeah, we'l see if anything happens from that. Asian-Americans have been signed to major hip hop labels before and not much has come from it. Hip hop has its own racism it needs to come to grips with, namely, gatekeeping.
Haha, that's totally me too.Yeah I can attest to not putting too much salt into my dishes.
Not totally related but every time I see a recipe's time to make, it takes at least twice as long for me to make it and I don't know why. -_-The online recipes lied to me! They said 1.5 to 2 hrs!!!
Haha, thats totally me too.

The reader's poll in Chicago magazine named Duck Duck Goat the best Chinese restaurant in Chicago. I love Stephanie Izard, and I love her restaurants.
Chicago does have a Chinatown. A great Chinatown. WTF white midwestern people.
The readers who voted suck.
Dear out of town Pokemon Go players:
Don't hang out in the damn alley when its dark in the city. Nothing good happens there.
Also, my stoop is my stoop. Not a community stoop. At 3 AM, when you hang out on my stoop and make noise, I have to come downstairs and turn on the porch lights to see WTF is going on. Don't get mad at me, it's my damn front stoop. At least I turned on the lights and figured out you guys were Pokemon Hunting, I could have called the cops, who would have cited you for trespass. Me not wanting to press charges would just keep you from not getting arrested, the cops will still ticket you. Or God forbid, I didn't recognize your Team Instinct shirts, and came to the stoop with a firearm. Because, fuck Team Instinct, Team Valor FTW.
You're welcome for the water and Red Bulls, btw.

Pokemon Go has been the shit this last month. I'm meeting a lot of cool people from the raids.
Also Legendaries were released today and it was INSANE. I'm not a fan of trying to organize 40-60 people though. But for the most part it worked out.
Fun game. Glad I stuck with it.
Was it for a shit ton of Clash of Clans micro transactions?

DDG is pretty good and probably something that yuppie foodies consider "adventurous" without getting outside their comfort zone. But honestly for the price point it's set at, I think Imperial Lamian in River North is way better, even though that's super over-priced too. I haven't been to 2 Fun/Won Fun, which just seems kinda obnoxious to me.
It's fine; Chinatown in Chicago is growing like crazy, especially with the development just north of there getting started so if more people go to DDG than Chinatown, it works for me. It's becoming more of an "Asiatown" though which I love. There's a bunch of Korean places there now plus one of the better Ramen places (Strings) outside of Mitsuwa.
I don't like Strings at all. I just don't.
Bonchon in Chinatown has...weird service. But the food is on point. The KBBQ place there is sold too. I haven't been to the bakery yet.
Mitsuwa...I play a game there called "How long before I see some weeboo shit." and this doesn't include the bookstore.
I think my favorite ramen spots are Oiistar and Furious Spoon
To each their own. Strings's textures are the closest I've gotten to the places I loved in Kyoto so I think that's what does it for me. Umai's is good, though they have other general good stuff. I like Furious Spoon okay but I'm actually kinda meh to Oiistar.
Ahjoomah's is good standard Korean food; nothing extraordinary but hits the spot. Daebaek is good but also kinda overpriced. Haven't been to this Bonchon yet but hopefully the lines have calmed down. Is the Tous Les Jour open yet?
