Chimei Frozen Cabbage Bun [+] These are dim sum-sized buns made in Taiwan. Although frozen you pop them in the microwave for a couple of minutes and they come out pretty good. The Frozen Cabbage Bun is vegetarian and you can't really tell. It does have a bit of an aftertaste.
Movie - Miss Sloane (2016) [/] Political drama about Madeline Sloane (Jessica Chastain), a high-powered lobbyist who quits her company to work for a small activist company trying to get a controversial gun bill passed in Congress. Sloane is up against both her former comrades and her new co-workers who are not used to the lengths Sloane will go to get a moderate Congressman to support the bill... It's a pretty good behind the scenes politics movie and Chastain is excellent but took me a long time to watch because it's a fairly intense film.
The Lost Bay Podcast (2021) [/] An interview podcast with indie RPG developers, one per episode. For the most part these are the really small indie developers, often publishing on itch.io and often with one or two small products released. We get their background and design process, what they've done and why they did it. Some interviews are interesting and some are boring so not necessarily a podcast I'd recommend.
