happy pride month
hey ho, more from the pile of recipes that I got by calling my parents and guesstimating recipes from the list of ingredients my parents recall. Remember, these recipes have no actual amounts in them:
Recipe also works with thighs or wings, anything bone-in
Prep:
slice some ginger, put it in a little container with some star anise
poke some cuts into the raw chicken to let the flavour in
It’ll make it easier if you have all these flavouring ingredients already mixed in one container beforehand:
dark soy sauce
regular soy sauce
shaoxing wine
sugar
salt
oyster sauce (ours was expired so I went with a splash of hoisin)
chili (you can do dried flakes but i had sriracha on hand)
>>put pot/wok on the heat
add oil add sliced ginger and star anise,
>>fry for a moment
add chicken
>> stir fry, high heat for a moment
add sauce marinade from earlier
>> stir fry, high heat for a moment
pour in cold water, just enough to submerge, wait until boil
>>simmer for 20-35 minutes, depending on how much chicken you’re working with
I prefer to take it off the heat and let it cool down whilst sitting in the sauce, and then I serve it (often over rice)
Happy Cooking!

I know many of you out there are feeling a bit down. Have a crow to Wouldn’t it be Nice by the Beach Boys to lift your mood.
The same goes for toads, those mad lads.
Reason one: you are frog shaped
Reason two: you can sleep on a lily pad
Reason three: you may be one with the bog
Not just bread
like people are just going to keep saying “theyre only queer because they want to be/because it gets them off/because they think it’s fun/because they saw a queer person and thought it sounded like a good idea/etc”. theyre gonna keep saying it.
and we are going to have to stop desperately scrambling to say noooo, they have to be like that, they have no choice, they wouldn’t be like this if they didnt have to. we HAVE to stop falling all over ourselves assuring straight people and transphobes that we hate being us as much as they hate us being us, that we are suffering and that’s why we deserve this decadence and deviancy. we HAVE to start saying “yeah ok and?”
being queer is a delight. deviant sex makes people really happy. being genderfucky is joyful. queerness CAN actually be an option you can choose, and that doesn’t make it worth less than if you only picked it with a gun to your head, because it is a good option and there are good reasons to pick it.
we have to stop shifting the goalpost to “we can’t help being like this”. the point is that being like this is good. being queer is good, whether you chose it on purpose or whether you only moonlight or whether you do it because it gets you off or because it’s fun and freeing or because you have been this way since you were born. queerness does not need to be earned or justified by an inability to be “”“normal”“”. if you are being queer that is good because being queer is good.
Just guys being dudes.
