Triple dipped fried chicken with garlic-ginger sweat-spicy sauce #chezfrantzman
We begin with 1kg or more of chicken breast cut into strips. We dip them in a dry blend of 3 cups flour, salt, pepper, tblspn paprika and chicken seasoning (Philadelphia or similar will do);
2/ into a batter of 1 cup flour, 1 bottle of pale ale or similar beer, salt and pepper, two egg yolks; then dip them into the dry blend again and set aside.
Heat several liters of oil to 175 C approx. and fry for around five minutes (longer for large pieces) submerged. Set aside on paper towel. Do this in batches.
Next in a wok combine several tablspns of vegetable oil, one sliced onion, a chopped head of garlic and chopped three inches of ginger; a handful of peanuts, then throw in three tblspn of brown sugar, on high heat
as it caramelizes put in 1 cup of chicken soup mix, several tablespoons cornflour, tablspn rice vinegar, tblspn sesame oil; and several tablspns Frank’s hot sauce (or wing sauce), put in a dozen pieces of the fried chicken and blend in wok;
put on plate, season with green onion and red chili.
Sorry it should be “sweet” obviously in the first tweet 😂

It's odd how those who constantly push this "no fly zone" story regarding Ukraine, claiming it will mean "war" with Russia...don't seem to condemn Russia imposing a "no fly zone" in Ukraine by invading Ukraine. Doesn't Ukraine have a right to its airspace.
It's not "war with Russia" if western countries want to fly in Ukraine's airspace. It's Russia that invaded. The onus is on Russia. It's Russia imposing a "no fly zone"....not anyone else. Blame Russia. Russia started the war.
How about a Right to Fly Zone…that’s how the US conducted the Berlin Air Lift, right? How come the same people that claimed Russia isn’t so powerful and we need to concentrate on China, push this “no war with Russia”?
The comparison of countries bordering Ukraine or nearby welcoming Ukrainians and Europe’s treatment of refugees in 2015 seems not entirely fair. Syrians were welcomed to some extent in neighboring Turkey and Jordan, so that’s the direct comparison: neighboring states.
It seems like an obvious thing to point out, but the reality that a country far away from a conflict won’t necessarily welcome a large number of people arriving from a very different place snd culture, as opposed to a neighboring area is an issue that deserves fair discussion
I was in Turkey, Jordan and I covered the 2015 refugee crisis in Greece and Serbia, Hungary etc. in Jordan people said they welcomed Syrians as much they could because of family and cultural tires. You can’t ignore this fact and pretend that Poland-Ukraine is Syria-Jordan
Some have seen Putin's war on Ukraine as an attempt to return Russia to the glory of the Soviet days or era of Imperial Russia...but forgive me if I missed it, but I don't think Russia under previous leaders did something so brazen with such risks, diplomatic isolation
When we think of the Soviet period, yes Russia went into Hungary and Afghanistan, but overall it did it with some pretense and what it thought is low risk to Russia. It didn't knowingly gamble on huge wars like Ukraine with unclear goals and outcome.
And if we go back to the Czars, from what I recall they pragmatically swallowed up the "near abroad" but usually it was risking much, Russia engaged in wars it always felt it would win easily; with the exception of jumping into WWI and we know how that turned out for Moscow
Israel's IDF says that on two consecutive days Israelis have been stabbed at a shop(s) just outside of Hizme checkpoint;
This is a village that abuts the separation fence and some people shop there and get gas because ostensibly its cheaper then inside the checkpoint.
"IDF: Yesterday (Wednesday) during the afternoon, an Israeli civilian arrived at the Hizma checkpoint with stab wounds, claiming he was stabbed in the village of Hizma. The civilian was evacuated to a hospital for medical treatment."
Thread: Russia clearly used the Syrian war as preparation for war on Ukraine. Remember how Russia went into Crimea in 2014 and into the Donbas via support for separatists...and then paused and intervened in Syria in 2015. As Syria wound down as major conflict, it planned Ukraine
NOW...what's interesting is the outrage and international consensus about Russia's actions in Ukraine are clear; but the international community should have been as outraged about Syria and has it been it might have prevented the invasion of Ukraine.
Why? Because Russia's leader felt he had impunity after Syria. He believed that while some western media will shout about Russia's actions; overall the international community won't do much and a divided West will prefer to "engage" and do endless JohnKerry-style diplomacy
And they do this with no other country. Qatar is a major non-NATO ally of the US and there is no obsessive commentary looking at its role.
And unlike in Qatar, large numbers of Israelis have backed Ukraine. But you wouldn’t know that from media that claims Israel isn’t.
This is an example of entrenched antisemitism. Nothing else explains the obsessive attempt to shift focus to Israel, a country far from the conflict that has no connection to it.
Imagine all this obsessive coverage of Tunisia’s portion on Ukraine.
