I do want to point out that this, specifically, though, is a direct result of fatphobia. people don't feel this way about being recognized at bars, or coffee shops. the fear is being recognized for eating, all the moreso if it's a fast food place or somewhere else "shameful" to be recognized as visiting often. the general sentiment is very true, and I do agree that western society has gotten so asocial & fearful of one another that it's killing our chances at genuine connection, but this specific thing is still very much directly tied to fatphobia.

so important to remember coconut curry exists

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Basic Coconut Curry

dice and sautee a bunch of (red or white) onions, garlic, & ginger

add choice of protein

add choice of veggies

add broth, coconut milk, and curry spice mix

cook on low heat 20 min

add sugar, salt, pepper, and lime juice (optional)

serve with rice or flatbread

BOOM. curry. never kill yourself

[ikebanaka]

This is almost exactly how I make it, but if you wanna add some extra oomph without getting too fancy, I also toast the curry spice mix in sesame oil before adding the coconut milk. Toast it until it looks like the spice mix is excreting its own oil, add and mix in a bit of water and then wait for it to evaporate, and repeat that once or twice. Takes about 5 minutes and deepens the flavor a bit if you wanna try it. I think it's called blooming the spices?

Strange racists and homophobes on the internet seem to have access to an alternate way cooler version of TV than me. "every white character on TV is in an interracial relationship" "every show has a gay couple in it" "main characters keep having to secretly be bisexual and nonbinary" "every show has gratuitous full frontal nudity" like damn promise?? What channel???
