Is schnitzel having a moment? I've seen it on 2 menus this week (and I'm not mad)

I'm finally crawling out of the wormhole that is THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY. What do we think about the portrayal of mixed-race Asians on the series? Here's why I think it's more Asian that people realize... open.substack.com/pub/gracehwa...

Oooh… I have some news to share soon that is both exciting and slightly terrifying!

Was inspired to make lo bah png - Taiwanese braised pork rice (lu ruo fan in Mandarin) and my family wasn’t mad.

Happy ba tsang day to those who celebrate! I make these every year to make sure I don’t lose the muscle memory for wrapping them. 🐉

As usual, @wendiaarons.bsky.social speaking middle aged truth!

Long and rambling post ahead: I’ve seen more people posting about 228 this year than ever before…

Today is 228 in Taiwan, and I’d like to share my award-winning essay SALTY LIKE TEARS, which reflects on the generational trauma of this massacre, even decades after immigrating to the US www.taiwaneseamerican.org/2023/12/salt...

“When I was a little boy, I witnessed a massacre in Taiwan,” he told me, his voice unusually solemn. Today is 228 in Taiwan. This history casts a long shadow over my family in my award-winning story Salty Like Tears (an excerpt from my essay collection) www.taiwaneseamerican.org/2023/12/salt...

Yes, California is expensive and prone to fires and earthquakes… but think of all the money I save not having to buy Meyer lemons 🍋
