I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.

Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.


I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.


Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.

It's fun how you can tell how old a recipe is by how it's named

DateNameDetails
???-1500SkopNobody knows why it's called this. Applies to twenty different completely distinct recipes
1500-1800Ol' ButtyMishearing of an indigenous food name. Bowl of potatoes and meat.
1800-1900French SkopInvented in Chicago. Canned meat product. Can only be made in 10 ton vats.
1900-1960Butty de AscotIt's still a bowl of potatoes and meat but they add creme fraiche. Invented in a hotel restaurant.
1960-2000Traditional Italian SkopInvented in a New York takeout place, made famous by the TV chef that lived nearby. It's traditional because it uses white wine in an extremely specific way, if you don't do that then it's not traditional
2000-2010CronutIt's a croissant donut! get it?
2010-nowVegan Shredded Jackfruit and and Pea StewMaximally descriptive name for SEO juice. Every recipe says "This is a loose recipe, do whatever!" and yet somehow they're all exactly the same?
