there's a real good post over on r/cooking with a background on the recipe's history and a very good guide on how to make it and this shit is bananas: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cooking/comments/dzjyo1/some_background_on_lao_gan_ma_chili_crisp_plus/

also it might be splitting hairs (peppers?) but Guizhou food doesn't count as Sichuan, technically, sorry internet

another shorter article on it had combining it with pineapple as an option and I got to feel real smug in that we already did that by mixing it with some homemade pineapple jam and putting it on an egg sandwich, ha HA take THAT internet food writers!!!!

I picked up a new brand of chili oil by complete accident while checking out a new tiny grocery store a few weeks ago (it was completely empty and there was ONE cashier kicking around AND I had my backpack on so I didn't want to look... suspicious so I bought the first thing that looked interesting) and I had no idea it was this much of an It Sauce: https://www.tastecooking.com/cult-spicy-chile-crisp/

REAL curious about the peanut brittle recipe fwiw. I'm a sucker for combining sweet shit with spicy or sour shit.

ALSO YES IT'S THE KNIFE FROM IT'S ALIVE, GET OFF MY BACK IT'S A COOL KNIFE OKAY!! SHEESH

I still love the veggie cleaver I use but this one is super versatile and fits the way I use knives way better than German/'western' style. Usually yr supposed to rock the knife back and forth to chop things but that hurts my wrist lmao whouopes

I was on the waiting list for this santoku knife and I've never been more excited to buy a sharp object in my LIFE

a comrade can have little a praxis, as a treat

quietly losing my shit as in EPISODE TWO we already get into Baby Artist and Actual illustrator going "omg what pens do u use". perfection
