Broiled Brussels Sprouts. BORING!

The Nirvana Wok Substack email newsletter and blog has only 38 subscribers and this might be one of the reasons why - we love Brussels sprouts! Shown here broiled in our pizza oven with shallots, lemon and light sesame oil.

Nirvana Wok has a social media presence! If you also have a small business registered as an LLC that has no revenue I highly recommend you sign up for these services too:

Gmail - Useful free email service that steals and re-sells all your data.
Instagram - Good place to post occasional pictures of food.
Twitter - Fairly useless but fine to have your name registered here.
TikTok - No I’m not going to devote 10 hours a day to producing videos that won’t make real money. The few folks that do make cash here find that it’s a temporary gig when the algorithm eventually ghosts them.
Facebook - Like an abandoned shopping mall where a few very ancient people are wandering around in a daze, wondering why all the stores are closed and there are so many rats.
YouTube - Useful free video service that steals and re-sells all your data.
Square - Takes payments through your phone like some sketchy not-aboriginal fireworks dealers do every Summer around these parts. Go to Boom City, folks! Cash only. Careful, though! Don’t get your hand blown off like Three Finger Jack.
Donorbox - We signed up for this “fundraising engine” years ago but it’s useless unless you want to use tragedy to raise cash.
Patreon - Great for subscribing to podcasts like our Seattle pals Mechanical Freak.
Venmo - One of my children makes me send them instant money for pizza through this platform which is great but back in my child days I went around town digging in pay phones for spare coins which was less efficient but more charming somehow.
