What’s Mia Eating

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:

Stewed Chicken Legs!

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!

This feels like something future history students would be given an excerpt of to analyse

Are fedoras really that bad?

YES YES THEY ARE

Not just bread

something that i haven’t seen in the hamilton discourse is how it does a really good job at humanizing bad people, but that that can be a good thing

we like to pretend like bad people™️ are bad in every aspect of their lives and that if we were alive back then we would’ve seen right through thomas jefferson’s bullshit.

but in reality how often do we see a politician/celebrity/ex boyfriend and at first glance they’re great. but then after a while you do some digging and realize oh shit this person is the worst. 

of course glorifying slave owners is never okay do not get me wrong on that

but i guess what I’m trying to say is that hamilton does a really good job of showing us how people justified supporting the founding fathers, and by extension calls us to examine the politicians and people we’re supporting.

because history repeats itself and in 200 years kids will be reading history books and wondering how we let x y and z happen. so just because someone seems nice and like they’re working for your cause – and maybe they are – don’t forget that everyone has the capacity to do awful things. you and me included. 

and again – don’t take this as me defending the actions of those who owned enslaved people, or those who supported them. but instead take this as an opportunity to examine how easy it would have been to be deceived by them – and then consider how that can still happen today on issues that we might not even know are issues yet. 

we have to be humble enough to recognize that we are capable of falling prey to dangerous ideas, because if we’re not then how are we ever going to fight them?? nothing can ever change if we can’t admit that our views are sometimes wrong. 

I MADE BREAD FOR THE FIRST TIME!! I did make a mistake with how long to bake it for but overall it turned out ok, I'm so proud 😊😊😊
