A poll to help me decide what to watch next!

Fair warning, I may not follow your advice. But, I will honestly consider it.

In other news, I am expecting something that my CSA newsletter is calling "on choy," but which the Googles tells me is actually this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipomoea_aquatica "water spinach." 

I'm looking forward to trying it, but I do find it hilarious given our comments discussion about yam tops, that water spinach is considered a noxious weed here in America.  It is rarely cultivated on purpose, apparently. Meanwhile, it is a mainstay in some Asian country dishes.

I also find it kind of amazing that the recipe that was sent along to the Hmong Farmers' Association CSA members included fermented soy beans and I'm like, 'natto!' They want us to add natto? That's like I dunno introducing people to carrots, but having the first recipe they try involving them with jalapeno peppers. Natto isn't spicy but it is definitely the more powerful of the two, no MATTER WHAT on choy tastes like. Non-Japanese people trying natto for the first time is a You Tube THING. 

Anyway that should be fun! I'm researching recipes right now. (And having borscht for dinner, since it used up all my remaining veggies from last week.)

Picard was REALLY good.

Okay, I had wanted to fix the poll? But it won't let me? I want to know if people want me to watch "The Old Guard," not "The Citadel." Grr. I am techno-NOT-saavy.

OMG OMG, Old Guard is SO GOOD. I would have voted for that one! We just saw it. Picard is still great tho.

....everyone else loved Mandalorian, and I didn't so much, altho it was pretty entertaining. I'd probably rec, in this order

1) The Old Guard
2) Picard

10) Mandalorian

Unfortunately, you can't fix polls.

I haven't seen The Mandalorian but I think Picard would be right up your alley.

It is one of my life ambitions to have borscht someday. :)

Omg kangkong (what we call water spinach in the Philippines)! I love kangkong! You can treat it like a simple side dish and sautee it in oyster sauce or you can make simple main entree by adding pork and braising it in soy sauce and vinegar.

My vote for in comments is Old Guard. I couldn't decide if you'd interpret the third box as Old Guard, so I figured I will be explicit in the comments. The Old Guard isn't a revolutionary action movie, but it is a perfectly good one with immortal gay husbands and Theron with an axe (actually, multiple axes). Also, I love the idea of a steppe immortal being obsessive (and knowledgeable) about her baklava.

Between her love for baklava and Booker probably knowing a lot about fancy wine, this fandom had better produce some quality through-the-ages food porn. (Is it me or is Andy eating/drinking in a lot of her non-fighting scenes? It seems to kind of tie her to the world somehow.)
