i used to waste hours trying to replicate indian curries but then i found out the spice mixes from indian grocery stores taste just as good as the stuff you get from takeaway buffets which was my only frame of reference anyway so i was happy

i cannot believe i am being paid $28 an hour to file paperwork in date order and put it in a box. the mining industry is completely ridiculous and even though i'm the one benefiting from this arrangement it still makes me furious and i can't wait to quit. especially as while i was researching potential careers i found out that a vet nurse salary starts at about 17/hour and maxes out at like 25 (remember this is australia so 25/hour is what you get casually bagging groceries) and vet nurses have on several occasions saved vanya, a resource far more precious than stupid poison world-destroying coal. my life is wasted and i am nothing but a wretch

uh, even converted into usd that seems like a poo poo load of money for clerical work

Goan-Style Chicken Moelho

There is a whole family of Goan meat and chicken dishes that have in common the use of garlic, vinegar, and hot chilies—all of which help preserve the food and give it a slightly “pickled” feel.

The chilies used in Goa are often of the Kashmiri variety, which give off a very red color but are of medium heat. Each dish requires rather a lot of them and ends up being very hot and very red. I have used a mixture of cayenne and paprika. You can add more cayenne if you like.

In Goa this is eaten with partially milled red-hulled rice. You could serve it with Plain Brown Rice, Plain Jasmine Rice, or Coconut Rice. Add vegetables and salads.

serves 3–4

1½ teaspoons whole cumin seeds
1 teaspoon whole brown mustard seeds
1¼ pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, extra fat removed and cut into 1-inch pieces
¾–1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons nice red paprika
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
1¼ teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, plus a little more, as needed
4 cloves garlic, crushed to a pulp with a garlic press
3 tablespoons olive or canola oil
1 medium onion (about 5 ounces) cut into fine half rings

Put the cumin seeds and mustard seeds into the container of a clean coffee grinder and grind finely.

Put the chicken in a nonreactive bowl along with the cumin-mustard mixture, cayenne, paprika, turmeric, salt, 1 tablespoon vinegar, and the garlic. Mix well with your hands, cover, and set aside for 1–2 hours, refrigerating if needed.

Pour the oil into a large, preferably nonstick frying pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, put in the onions. Stir and fry until the onions turn translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Keep stirring and frying another 2 minutes or until the onions brown a bit. Now add all the marinated chicken. Stir and fry another 7–8 minutes or until the chicken turns opaque and browns a bit. Add ½ cup water and another 2 teaspoons vinegar. Bring to a boil. Cover, turn heat to low, and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Check the salt, adding more if needed.

so chat thread, i need some real talk advice. it's become obvious one of the woman on the cleaning staff is the victim of serious domestic abuse. today was the second time i've noticed her sporting a black eye, this second one also accompanied by a beating that made the left half of her face swell up

i know from previous interactions that she has no english, i have almost no spanish. she's from a company we contract out to, so i can't report it to my hr department, i don't even know her residency status. what can i do to help this woman out while making sure i don't accidently cause more trouble for her. this is the first time i've seen someone that hosed up outside of a highspeed auto accident

Get in touch with a local domestic violence shelter. They'll have advice and be able to help her.

Where are you located? Given your mention of language, residency, and the third party contract company could it be a forced labor deal?

i suppose it wouldn't hurt to reach out to them for advice, it's just that i barely even know this woman professionally so it feels weirdly presumptive to start taking measures on her behalf

you wouldn't be the first person to come with them with that kind of situation

don't expect too much though because it's nearly impossible to get undocumented and recent immigrants and people on visas to press dv charges

My best guess is if you can get anyone she might trust, or just anyone you can get one on one with her could be better than bringing it to any company organ HR or otherwise outright. To that end Gorp's idea might have some avenues for you.

Domestic violence is loving awful and complacency is all too real.

If you saw someone bleeding on the side of the road, you wouldn't continue on because it's "presumptive" to stop and help them, you're doing the right thing here fellow ghostposter.
