Starting over again has been the theme of my life. Will be taking to the @BlueSky, literally. Join me there as I'm about to head to #Vietnam to check in on my parents. It was also #Thanksgiving Eve 44 years ago that I arrived in the US of A as a #refugee. #RefugeesWelcome

My take on the #Vietnamese cá chiên xốt cà chua/fried fish in tomato sauce, inspired by the #Peranakan/Nyonya cuisine of #Indonesia, #Malaysia & #Singapore. Tamarind & tomatoes make this dish sing. Voilà, my take on fried fish in tomato sauce! Find me on Threads, same handle. https://t.co/ZfSFxSR9O6

Just follow the Threads😉

Folks, I've finally decided to move into the new neighborhood... for the time being where I hope the surroundings won't be as taxing & vaxing mentally & socially. Plz come by to say hi if you are there now or soon. Still the same handle.

"11 studies show that regular exercise can significantly reduce the risk of #dementia by 30%. For #Alzheimer's disease specifically, the risk was reduced by 45%." The risk of Alzheimer's disease can also be reduced by daily physical tasks such as #COOKING! https://t.co/hsZRlziaFx

A must-see! A few months back the #Korean OG of #PremierLeague #ParkJiSung had a brotherly conversation with the 2 #태극전사 #TaegeukWarriors who became the heroes todays, taking #SouthKorea into the #knockoutstage of #FIFAWorldCup. #KoreavsPortugal https://t.co/MV03z80lJP

Cooked #dandelion greens for the 1st time tonight. There are all kinds of tips & tricks how to "remove" its bitterness online. Do most Americans have such wimpy palate? Dandelion greens are nowhere as bitter as bitter melon, minari or even #rapini. They were yummy, btw! #cooking https://t.co/gCkirf2CyG

According to science (Yes, it's scientific!), when #dogs look at you, "they are essentially hugging you with their eyes" & that their relationship with us is more than transactional (treats, walks, belly rubs). #DogsOnTwitter https://t.co/o55S6zCuqS

Looks like I do get lots of hugs from these two, especially when Smokey got a new bed. What about #cats, I wonder? Mine also activate their tractor beam on me frequently😜 https://t.co/zsblwgGjMq

Sunday's gratuitous #cat & #dog pix: Hmm, don't remember I ordered this, but she sure is a keeper. No return. No exchange. No, siree.#CatsOfTwitter #cats #CatsOnTwitter https://t.co/aP48nUgsgB

This is how they hypnotize, put you under their spell & have their ways with you. It's us humans who've been domesticated to serve them. #cats https://t.co/RQBh2DjS6c

#Qatar inadvertently shows its true self to the world. Danish TV journalist wonders out loud this is probably how things are when there's no #WorldCup. Another reason to wean ourselves off fossil fuels. #QatarWorldCup2022 #WorldCup2022 https://t.co/I73QgJcHZ1

Must-see 2-part doc on the #Zohra Orchestra, #Afghanistan’s only all-female musical ensemble. They escaped as #Kabul fell to the #Taliban. #Portugal, NOT the US, UK, or Germany, that offered to take them & their family members. I cried watching this. https://t.co/Rk5LpD6LEN

Here's part 2, which details their escape from #Afghanistan. Many of us #refugees will see ourselves in these courageous musicians & their family members. So freaking sad AND maddening. The #Taliban look & sound more like the Khmer Rouge. https://t.co/67vq25oOJ4

IN JUST ONE DAY! Into the trash they went. When was the last time mailers helped me make my decision? Never! I'd urge candidates to ask their consultants to show them stats, stories of voters who rely on these mailers to make decisions. #Oakland #oakmtg #MidtermElections2022 https://t.co/Q6kdR0K6Lf

Instead of wasteful mailers (#environment too!) candidates shld invest in grassroots organizers & neighborhood canvassers to engage constituents in conversations, to build lasting connections. Most political consultants are good at presenting "data," but lack community knowledge!

The proper way to listen to music! Forgot how good vinyl records sound. Am so glad to have kept my record collection & the Bowers & Wilkins speakers. Gave away the old Denon turntable years ago. The old Harman Karon amp fried when I turned it on. Got new amp w/Bluetooth receiver! https://t.co/H3xEfwPpzi

I am going to stay home all day this weekend, playing my records! #vinyl #vinylrecords https://t.co/AyPuriUzjR

#Vinyls, baby! New Denon #turntable... out of the basement the old Harman Kardon receiver & Bowers & Wilkins 601 (1st gen) and of course Ms. Debbie Harry. Analog sounds WAY, WAY better than digital. So glad I kept all these records. Gave away the old Denon turntable though😕 https://t.co/E5XGfL1Trz

Throughout the late '80s & early '90s I spent nearly every dollar in tips I earned from waiting on tables, barbacking & occasional bartending on #vinylrecords... thousands of records, from #BillieHolliday to #NewOrder, #ModernTalking to the Buzzcocks. Music has kept me sane!

The old Harman Kardon fried half way through The Best of Blondie, side A😫 Will figure out tomorrow, but I am back playing my #vinyl collection for sure!!! https://t.co/S6XScmI9mU
