makes me sad when ppl (esp other viet ppl!) say that pho is overrated 😞 okay yes, i think there are definitely other meals that deserve the overseas recognition just as much if not more, like bun bo hue or banh xeo, and i have no idea why pho, the dish whose broth takes 6hr AT LEAST to make, was the one to hit the mainstream, but i don’t think that makes it overrated either. it’s cozy, it’s warming, it’s simple yet complex, it’s like chicken noodle soup on a sick day if chicken noodle soup could also give you a kiss on the forehead…

i can’t think of a dish that says “i love you” more than pho, you guys don’t deserve her.

#i’ve heard some ppl say that it tastes medicinal?? no idea what they’re tasting maybe they’re just not used to those types of spices #but i think it’s beautiful in its simplicity #i made it once too but i didn’t let it simmer long enough and it didn’t hit the same #i didn’t make it with enough love and you could TASTE that #maybe these ppl just didn’t have pho made w love #danbles #food

@ihearasound you managed to catch me during one of those rare occasions it's not pitch black where I live so here are my figures and artbooks! It's a bit messy, I should clean things up but overall I'm happy with what I've got :)

#my nonsense #my figures #my stuff #figures #behold my excellent taste in media #why yes i am worried that wall of books will topple over and crush hundreds of euros worth of figures #idk why i placed the most valuable and fragile figures right there #(asuka and utsutsu are 1/7 that's why)#(and phos can't actually fit on the upper shelf)#hachikuji's base is resting on top of my origami and gaudi books #i used to use it but had to ditch it for space and instead of putting it back in the box i just left it there lol #oh i also have shion and nezumi #they're standing on top of the boxes to the left!!!#and some others are in storage #utena another princess of the crystal and kaori miyazono #oh and a prize fig of himari

am i tripping or am i seeing more youtubers change their thumbnails and video titles a few hours after uploading?

like it's not uncommon to see ppl use more clickbaity fake-drama video titles for algorithmic reasons, but lately and more specifically i've been seeing these L.A. youtubers upload videos with titles that are more... abrasive and somewhat problematic lol? and then some hours later it'll be updated to have more PC language. like either these major channels are suddenly forgetting how to not offend people or they're employing the "get clicks by being a certain acceptable amount of incorrect and reasonably mistaken" and it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth

#when i mean problematic vs pc i mean it's usual racial #like brad mondo had a video where WHITE HAIRDRESSER REACTS TO BLACK GIRL SILK PRESSES or smthn to that effect #which isn't like. horrible i guess #but after some time it changed to HAIRDRESSER REACTS TO CURLY HAIR TRANSFORMATIONS or smthn like that w zero acknowledgement #try guys released smthn like Asian Soup Taste Test Battle #then it switched to Keith Eats Japanese Ramen and Vietnamese Pho #and it's like. yes it's small but i would say the distinction is somewhat important #especially when nowadays i sort of roll my eyes at white content creators who keep making themselves judges/experts of ethnic dishes #like this wasn't a trend before but i'm seeing it now #and i'm starting to wonder if these 'vetted' channels are chasing the algo in fucked up ways #woohoojazelyn thoughts

🔥 soup

adding things to the broth before tasting it is not just a faux pas, it is disrespectful and i WILL judge you for it

semi related but at some point just...stop adding shit man just order something else

#like really? you need all that hoisin and sriracha in your pho? its not even pho at that point my god #wack ass taste buds #i dont add sauce to my pho broth tho i think thats ehhh #thai basil sometimes

sitting for the past few hours doing work and having beef bone broth going on in the background is so delectable. I just have a little sippy of soup whenever I want

#al speaks #I wanna learn how to make bone broth the 'proper way' like you have to drain it and boil it before acrually simmering it to a soup #but I had leftover big shortrib bones from a pho restaurant and one of my housemates was like #you should make a broth #so I am. it's so different making it yourself. suddenly everything tastes better. peace and love

Oh no!!! One of your blorbos has caught your covid cooties! How well are they dealing with it and what are you doing to make them feel better?

All of my blorbos are incredibly melodramatic so they are NOT handling it well(like me!) lmao. But I patiently care for them and dope them up with cold medicine until they are better 🥰 also I force them to eat bc idk everyone’s experience but my appetite with covid is sooo shot 😭

#ty for the ask <3 #my irl blorbo also has covid lol we trade off doing things depending on who is feeling better at the moment #INTERESTINGLY we have almost entirely different sets of symptoms #also my friends have been helping. one of them is delivering me nyquil gatorade and pho today 🥺#we stan the homies #tw covid #also I just drank a glass of pickle juice. it tasted like water 😱

While we are on the subject of Vietnamese cuisine, here is my go-to meal when I eat out Asian (if I have the option to order it). The images are premixed and mixed.

On the menu, it's known as Bún thịt nướng chả giò (if I got the accents right)- and it's basically just rice vermicelli noodles with an assortment of vegetables, grilled meat (pork), and spring rolls.

It's kind of a cluster funk, but it's very hard to mess up and is pretty filling!

#I love pickled veggies it's nice and acidic #This restaurant had delicious grilled pork too it was very flavourful mmmmm #In the background was pho but tbh. It tasted pretty normal :/#My grandma makes better pho #But like. Mmmmm. Bun thit nuong #Since I don't visit Canada over the summer anymore I don't get be in the family barbeques #The only way I can get my bun thit nuong fix is at restaurants //and ig making it myself but it's not the same :(#The restaurant is called phở đúi bò btw //crossing my fingers I got the accents right #Very tasty #The presentation was also amazing hehe #mun rambles

One of the worst things about getting covid a year ago is that cilantro has lost that fragrant taste to it and even a year on it still tastes wrong and earthy/dirt-like to me. If it tasted like soap I wouldn't mind but the fact it tastes like how dirt smells sucks cuz it's used in literally all of my favourite Vietnamese meals.

#i got a banh mi today and i sadly picked out the stuff cuz it was unbearable to taste #i didnt lose my taste but it definitely made things go slightly to the left of things #and i used to love it in pho #but it still tastes weird now #like food is literally one of my last connections to feeling vietnamese

Celebrating the completion of my pedagogy exam with some good eating!

#the valley is posting #this restaurant is so good that it ruins every other vietnamese restaurant in the city for me #there are a ton of vietnamese restaurants where i live and a lot of them are uber-fancy modern spaces with expensive menus #but the /best/ food is still this tiny little family-run hole in the wall teahouse #everything they do is delicious but their pho is so good; it has so much flavor while remaining light and balanced #literally makes every other restaurant's pho taste either bland or over-seasoned in comparison

Romance Books I love the most

I love romance novels and particular series with individual books in them because I can finish one and then read the next one in a month or even in the next few days. I love a good romance novel, with much banter, characters who don’t know what they will do next, and many more, but have a happy ending in the end. Here is a list of my favorite ones (if the book is part of a series, I will write the name of that too). Also in the next two weeks, I am going to rank two of them, the Bridgerton Series and Brother’s Best Friend, both of which I love.

The eight I recommend for now are the following (not in any particular order). I will link their Goodreads pages too.:

1. The viscount who loved me by Julia Quin (Bridgerton series, book 2): I love Anthony and Kate’s story. It has everything in it. Two stubborn but strong characters, an amazing plot with the flashback, and the second epilogue is absolutely funny and worth reading.

2. Twins for Brother’s Best Friend by Sofia T. Summers (Brother’s best friend, book 3): I love the careers of Greta and Isaac, she is a CEO of a Tech company and he has a consulting company that he inherited from his uncle. They have good chemistry and it is very sexy and steamy too.

3. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen: I love all Austen books but especially this one because I love Eleanor and she reminds me of one of my friends who is very sensible. Also, it has two love stories. Fun Fact: I love the movie adaptation with Hugh Grant.

4. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: I know many of you love her comic series Carry on, Simon, which I recommend and love. But there is a reason that this one is in this. It was the first novel of this kind I read in just two nights two, I couldn’t stop reading it and the novel I bought from London a few years back. I often say that Cath is the protagonist, is my spirit animal, an awkward, avid fanfiction reader with a love story I aspire to have.

5. A Taste of Love by Jeniffer Yen: The first of her Jane Austen retelling and one of the best too. Liza and James are a good couple with all the best qualities of the original with differences that make it a very interesting book. Also, every time I read it I salivate at Liza’s baking abilities.

6. A Pho Love Story by Loan Le: This book changed my perception of many things from Asian history and mythology to the Vietnam war and the damage it caused to many families and people in general.

7. 10 Blind dates by Ashley Elston (Messina Family, book 1): As Christmas is approaching I am going to say that this is the book for you to be in the holiday spirit with this fun and entertaining book. The dates vary from bad ones to good ones; and of course, the Italian American family is hilarious. I highly recommend the second one also.

8. A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness (All Souls Trilogy, book 1): I have read the book “The world of all souls” which is complementary to the series by the author, Deborah Harkness. In this one, she said that she wanted each book to have a different vibe, the first romance, the next a history book, and the last a thriller. I have read all her books and, in another ramble, I am going to talk about both and the series because I love them. I have read this one, three times already because Matthew and Diana have a very romantic and understanding relationship where they meet and they learn about the meaning of being a witch and a vampire, or a historian and a scientist. I love it.
