Birthday Cakes Require Whipped Cream & Strawberries

Remember when they said that vegans couldn’t have whipped cream?  Well, I’d like to shove this STRAWBERRY HUMMINGBIRD SHORTCAKE WITH WHIPPED CREAM in their pie holes.

Join me?

I made this for my mom for her birthday.  I’ve associated birthday cakes with strawberries and whipped cream since I was a little girl.  My mom would bring home a massive strawberry shortcake for my birthday, wrapped up in one of those old fashioned paperboard cake-boxes with a string wrapped around it, and I would get so excited, I’d practically pee in my pants.

So, try out this recipe.  The cake is super easy and even the whipped cream is as simple as ABC.

Try not to pee in your pants, though.

*You can find an alternative to chickpea brine for aquafaba, as well as all things aquafabulous, in the Facebook Group known as “Vegan Meringue – Hits and Misses!“

The Korean Vegan, Esq.
This is one of my earlier TikTok videos, back when This is one of my earlier TikTok videos, back when this sandwich was on trend. Reposting it because sometimes I need to listen to my own advice. ❤️
Advice from 고모: Heartbreak. Advice from 고모: Heartbreak.
Earlier today, I watched a video of a white man en Earlier today, I watched a video of a white man encourage his 3 year old son to “make fun of his Asian uncle” by pulling the corners of his eyes back into slits.  When confronted by a number of Asians explaining how offensive the video was, he grew defensive, claiming it was “just a little fun.”
.
Several years ago, someone asked me what the big deal was about white people making fun of my eyes.  He claimed, “people make fun of my appearance all the time, I guess I’m just not as sensitive as you.” Being bullied for one’s appearance is always wrong and can definitely be traumatic no matter what. But when that appearance is tied to your ethnicity, and when that ethnicity is outnumbered, that kind of bullying can take on a different level of harm. If someone makes fun of my nose, I may spend the rest of my life hating my nose. But if someone makes fun of my eyes—an attribute tied to my Koreanness—then I not only hate my eyes, I also hate my Koreanness.
.
Bottom line, I never thought that in 2021, I’d have to explain why making “Asian eyes” to an Asian is offensive, inappropriate, and insensitive.  But apparently, it’s a message that continues to be in demand. In lieu of yelling at people, though, I thought I’d just share a story.
.
Finally, a couple translations: “Dominick’s Language” is what I used to call English, because it was the gibberish my Dad spoke at the grocery store. “Sohknehbok” is Korean underclothing, something my grandmother made me wear in summer, lol, because she was always afraid I would catch my death.
.
You can find the recipe for Tteokbokki (or its popular sister recipe, Rabokki) on my blog.
