    I use two short circs. I have addis, one pair is silver and the other gold so i can tell them apart (tho with experience i no longer need to) I can do 2 socks at a time but prefer one at a time....

    I can do 2 socks at a time but prefer one at a time.

    Work each pair of needles separately. So youre picking up and dropping needles a lot but your stitches are safe. No dpn sliding out wholesale.

    There is a whole world of banchans. I am excited you found sigeumchi-namul because to me it is the best way to eat a lot of spinach and is just…easy and appealing. If you like bean sprouts you should try kongnamul-muchim which to me is a similar idea.

    I would love to have recipes for your stew and other family pleasers. That morroccan dish sounds incredible.

    I have been making an extremely simple Americanized stir fry that my family loves. I make a game of putting in as many kinds of veggies as I can and routinely get 10-14 in there. You can make it with just chicken, too, if that is your preference.

    Velvet your chicken or don’t
    Blanch your chicken and harder veg if you want.
    Stir fry everything a bit.
    Add 3:1 garlic and ginger to taste
    Pour in a mix of: 1c chicken broth, 3tbsp oyster sauce, 2tsp Louisiana hot sauce (i use crystal), 2tsp corn starch. (I make a lot so i double this)
    Top it peanuts or dont

    I know this looks basic and absurd but honestly it is so good. Great for using up veggies.

    Honestly. Absurd. A single barrier (inability to communicate) doesn’t destroy the entire genre. There are so many more barriers to draw from.

    Bright Sword is good. I find it short on women but its handling of a trans character was artful I felt.

    I like your response a lot. For me looking over the survey, i too felt it was missing the essential view that there’s an agreement of some kind (can be tacit) to some kind of constraints for the purpose of having fun. I consider pretty much everything my kids do together as a game, because they are always making rules/adjustments to see what happens or what can emerge. That is where the fun and surprises are.

    I like the eyes. And it seems silly to have an outdoor sculpture with such fragile paint.

    Korea made some incredibly effective social improvements. Not the least of which is King Sejong’s innovation in literacy.

    What a great article. I believe that change is possible with a grassroots commitment to kindness.
