🎧Listen to a 6 min audio clip from my @QnsNightMarket Vendor Stories oral history project: how DeRangoon chef Snow Wai moved from Rangoon to NYC & eventually learned to cook—really well! Her tea leaf salad recipe from The World Eats Here is included🥗👩🏻🍳Thanks @CBackstreets ! 💗
Had a baby & forgot Twitter exists for a while… but I’m still here—working on collecting & archiving oral histories of @QnsNightMarket vendors & community, if you’re wondering… :)
I gotta say, oral historians are a great bunch, and that's why it's been such a pleasure being part of the #oha2022 @OHAnetwork Annual Conference! Shout out to my co-presenters @meralagish of @QueensMemory, @stormgarner of @QnsNightMarket & @OZamoraFlores representing #Queens ❤
Now up on the OHMA blog: inspired by Storm Garner’s recent workshop on writing #TheWorldEatsHere, an oral history-inspired cookbook, current OHMA student Rattana Bounsouaysana explores the different meanings of comfort.
