1010- * Canned sardines, skinless + boneless in olive oil
1111- * Soy sauce
1212- * Tabasco, or an alternate vinegar-based hot sauce
1313- * Black pepper
1414- * Bread of choice

1616- 1. Transfer sardines to a bowl. Try not to transfer too much of the olive oil.
1717-1818- 2. Use a fork to mash them into a smoother consistency.
1919-2020- 3. Add a bit of soy sauce and mix in. How much soy sauce? I couldn’t tell you. Immigrant mothers do not measure, they just know.
2121-2222- 4. Add a bit of Tabasco and mix in. How much Tabasco? How silly of a question is that? What do you want it to taste like? That’s how much. That is the Angelica Fructuoso way.
2323-2424- 5. Add black pepper to taste.
2525-2626- 6. Spoon desired amount on top of your carb of choice. Angelica Fructuoso served this to her children on toasted wheat bread. This is the children’s favorite way. Crackers also work. Rice also works. Chef’s choice.
2727-2828- 7. (Optional) Announce, loudly from the kitchen, “KUMAIN TAYO!!!” as loudly as you can. (“Let’s eat!” in Tagalog; pronounced kooh-MA-in tah-YO)

55-description: "it's very easy! strongly recommend"
66-author: Madison
77-prepTime: 210
88-totalTime: 240
99-ingredients: |-
1010- * 500 g all purpose flour
1111- * 380 ml warm water
1212- * 4g (about 1 t) yeast
1313- * 5g (about 1 t) honey (or sugar)
1414- * 15ml (about 1T) oil
1515- * 10g (about 2 t) salt
1616-content: >-
1717- ### Steps
1818-1919-2020- 1. mix salt into flour
2121-2222- 2. in a separate bowl mix honey (or sugar) into water until dissolved
2323-2424- 3. pour yeast on top of water mixture and let bloom for 5 minutes until frothy (people are very divided on whether or not to whisk it in before blooming, I do)
2525-2626- 4. add oil to water mixture
2727-2828- 5. add wet to dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms
2929-3030- 6. let stand for fifteen minutes and then do a set of stretch and folds repeating every 15 minutes for an hour (I don’t follow this strictly- its a forgiving recipe)
3131-3232- 7. place dough in a well oiled bowl covered in saran wrap over night (for whatever reason it is not recommended to use a metal bowl)
3333-3434- 8. the next day (or two) remove dough from fridge about two hours before you want to bake it and complete one last set of stretch and folds before placing it on a 13x9 baking tin lined with parchment
3535-3636- 9. cover with a cookie sheet and let proof for two hours
3737-3838- 10. preheat oven to 430 f
3939-4040- 11. after the dough has proofed brush with oil, and use fingers to dimple the dough careful to not pop bubbles, sprinkle with salt, and add any additional toppings
4141-4242- 12. bake for 22-25 minutes (maybe longer depending on your oven) until it’s golden brown and crispy
4343-4444- 13. remove from pan and place on a cooling rack- do not cut into the bread until completely cool or the dough can get gummy
4545-4646- it's also better to accidentally go over w ater than under bc foccacia is a high hydration bread
4747-4848- it's a very wiggly dough

66-author: Mina (NYT)
77-prepTime: 10
88-totalTime: 40
99-ingredients: >-
1010- * About 2 pounds cucumbers (English or Persian, 8-10 mini, 4 medium, 2 large
1111- greenhouse)
1212-1313- * 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more "for cucumbers"
1414-1515- * 2 tsp granulated sugar, plus more "for cucumbers"
1616-1717- * 1.5 T rice vinegar
1818-1919- * 2 tsp sesame oil

2828-2929- * Small handful whole cilantro leaves, for garnish
3030-3131- * 2 tsp toasted white sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
3232-content: >-
3333- Disclaimer: Mina's version skips much of the extra steps. You can just cut
3434- the cukes, mix with sauce, and move on.
3535-3636-3737- 1. Rinse and dry the cukes. Cut crosswise into ~4" pieces. Cut in half lengthwise.
3838-3939- 2. Smash the cucumber pieces like garlic cloves, with the flat part of a knife. Break or slice diagonally into bite-size pieces. Let the seeds fall behind.
4040-4141- 3. Place the cucumber pieces in a strainer, add a big pinch of salt and sugar. Place a plastic bag filled with ice on top of the cucumbers to weight them down. Let drain for 15-30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
4242-4343- 4. Combine salt, sugar, and rice vinegar. Stir until everything's dissolved. Stir in sesame oil and soy sauce.
4444-4545- 5. Shake cucumbers well and transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss. Add half the dressing, garlic, and red pepper flakes, and toss. Keep adding dressing until cucumbers are well coated but not drowned. Add more pepper and garlic if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with cilantro and sesame seeds.

55-description: Mama Meeker's famous, nostalgic, ever-comforting soup
66-author: Mama Meeker
77-prepTime: 15
88-totalTime: 60
99-ingredients: >-
1010- * About 2 pounds of leeks. Separate white part from green, throw out green,
1111- thinly chop white (doesn't have to be intense chopping though, you're gonna
1212- blend it all later)
1313-1414- * 2-3 pounds of cooking potatoes. Wash, peel, cut up. Don't have to be tiny, just small enough to boil
1515-1616- * Like a lot of butter. Usually ~1/4 cup but it's flexible. Cut it up into some smaller cubes so it's easier to melt later
1717-1818- * 6 cups broth of choice
1919-2020- * Salt, black pepper, white pepper
2121-2222- * *Optional:* ~1/4-1/2 cup of heavy cream or light cream, at roughly room temp
2323-content: >-
2424- 1. Melt butter in soup pot or Dutch oven on medium heat.
2525-2626- 2. Add chopped leeks and some salt. Sauté for ~5 minutes in the butter til they start to go translucent
2727-2828- 3. Add broth, potatoes, some more salt, a decent amount of black pepper, a small amount of white pepper
2929-3030- 4. Bring the whole deal to a boil while stirring every now and then
3131-3232- 5. Reduce to simmer, cover, cook for ~20-25 minutes. It's inexact - your main goal is everything gets mushy and cooks together
3333-3434- 6. Add cream if using, a small amount at a time, stirring constantly so that it blends in without curdling
3535-3636- 7. Optional but STRONGLY recommended: use an immersion blender to blend the whole deal into one perfect thick blended soup
