What could it mean to give yourself the food you need to keep going? No punishing, no guilt, no withholding. Just nourishment. For Longreads, Krista Diamond explores body image, hiking, and how eating your favorite yummy junkfood might just save your life while hiking in the wilderness. 

“No one has ever opened up a packet of Oreos on a mountaintop and said, ‘I’m being so bad.’ But bad is a word I’ve heard a lot in the real world. Bad is the word my mother used when she brought out ice cream after dinner. Bad is what my friends and I were when we ate zebra cakes in our high school cafeteria. Bad is what the women’s magazines told me I was being when I ordered the french fries instead of the salad. Bad is how I felt each time I ate a slice of birthday cake at a party where I’d vowed to stick to the crudités. Sugar is bad. Carbohydrates are bad. Fat is bad. All the things you want are bad and you are bad for wanting them. For me, this is complicated further by the fact that I live in Las Vegas, a city that paradoxically values both indulgence and conventional beauty in equal measures.”

two for one soups

tip for the leftover enthusiasts out there - have fensi/cellophane noodles/glass noodles on hand.

whenever you order a noodle soup from somewhere (pho, udon etc) they almost ALWAYS give you way more broth than you can reasonably eat/drink in one go.

fensi, since they're usually made of bean starch or sweet potato starch, will soak up a ton more broth before losing that satisfying chewiness to soup sogginess.

you buy them fully dehydrated and then alls you gotta do is find a flat pan or wok, throw the noodles in there dry and dump the leftover broth on top. let it go for medium heat for 10ish minutes with a lid on it, occasionally stirring and it results in a tasty noodle dish.

optional side ingredients to have on hand (that go with a pretty wide variety of east asian soups) are minced carrot, green onion, boiled egg, and bean sprouts
