This spot is my favorite spot for Korean food in San Francisco currently. Hidden in a weird corner across the Popeye’s at the Fillmore Safeway

Also if you’ve ever had the Korean ‘fire noodles’ (YouTube it!) those are based on ‘army stew’, which this spot serves

I remember when I took a govt job some years ago, big tech and startup friends (where I spent all of my career, earlier) found it puzzling.

As a married queer immigrant on a single income (45 made it impossible for spouses to work), I have 0 tolerance for risk in this country where healthcare is tied to my job.

However, I also found meaningful work; and working for city or states or federal govt is often a key way to get good benefits and a pension.

As Lucas Sin will say ‘there aren’t really any salads in Chinese food’ (there aren’t: also watch his videos on Food52 on YouTube, best way to learn intro to Chinese cooking).

But the Sichuanese have appetizers they call 凉拌 (cold prep) that are somewhat salad-like. Veg ones are mostly potato or beancurd and different types of tofu. Nonveg types are mostly beef slices and cold chicken.

I’ve grown to really like them, and now make them at home.

The Wagner Group has seized territory in Russia and is trying to remove the nation’s military leadership from power.

The UK assesses that the mercenaries are trying to get to Moscow.
