Has anyone made foie gras before at home / as a chef at their restaurant?

I want to make a French theme dinner next week but holy crap I might have misjudged. I have some questions about the liver because the internet is giving me mixed answers

- Do you start searing it from the chiller or at room temperature

- Do you panfry the bread in butter or in the leftover oil after searing the foie gras (after leaving some to make the sauce)

- Do you start with a cold pan or hot pan

- And how thick should each foie gras slice be?

I'm seriously scared I'll cook it till it becomes just oil or a chaoda piece 😭😭

Extra protein in my soup at Souper Tang Southkey Midvalley

I love their soup (fishmaw collagen and chicken ginseng) and how nice their staffs are. But many times during my meal today I would see things floating in my bowl... do yall see small bugs in the second picture too or am I hallucinating?

I'm in for a horrid toilet time, but I'm happy I haven't had a suicidal thought cross my mind for the last 3 days

Kimchi and some chinese tea with bread otherwise my gastric from my previous attempt will come back.

I'm happy? Kinda 🍓🍓 Strawberry jelly 😋😋

Happy birthday to me yayy! I kicked myself off lepax a week ago cos I tried restarting and the side effects (really bad headaches etc) was too much to handle. I guess life is improving (I hope)

Now hopefully I can live past my next birthday

I'm tryna make a website portfolio (hopefully free) but I have no idea WHERE to start

I wanna make a portfolio website for my internship to showcase my experience, skills, journey, etc. I have no idea how to code let alone make it from scratch. I really don't understand many websites I use be it AI "made within 15 minutes no coding skills needed" types or Wix. Time is tight and I have already been to so many websites trying but they either seem to paywall (some are really outrageous prices) or misleading and unable to edit

Also what is domain (that one need to pay monthly subscription right?)

😭😭 I need someone to step by step for me I'm so lost atp

Lunch probably ... Restarting on Lepax after almost half a year gave me horrible nausea

Spent yesterday depressed af, woke up at 8 today for class and literally couldn't bring myself to get out of bed. Felt so bad I had to take one tiny pill after breakfast. What my big brain forgot is that restarting (with my normal amount of 10mg 🥹) gives the most horrid side effects (when I started last year I also very bad nausea the first 1.5 weeks)

I'm hungry but idt I can handle food right now, thinking of asking my lecturer if I can leave later (I rarely take mc too, force myself to school/internship bcos mom hates it when I 'skip' school)

I really don't know if I rather this nausea or prefer my shtty depressed mood I've been having these few years

Our Server's 2nd Tourny Winner (TW! mild flashing)

This being said, this is an unofficial 1V1 tournament that I hosted last night (with the help of some other mods in our small discord family) and I'm really proud of everyone (you might recognize some of the usernames) who participated, or even managed to join. Because for one, I set it at 11pm GMT+8 to be more convenient for the other countries which is pretty late for some of us.

Also due to our massive ping, server, and time differences, playing together is sometimes really hard to do.

Anyways the prizes has already been sent. Abit over 400dias and abit over 200dias to our winners (bcos I'm a broke ahh student)

~ Anyways love yall (❁´◡`❁)*✲゚*
