Dhole - Contrairement au loup, la femelle dominante n'est pas la seule de la meute à pouvoir se reproduire. Si leur position hiérarchique le permet, d'autres femelles peuvent être amenées à s'accoupler.

JTTW Chapter 36 Thoughts

Chapter 36 for the @journeythroughjourneytothewest Reading Group!

We’ve got creatures galore this time around!

Why can’t you give us the slice of life, huh? Why can’t you, the people want to read fluff too! I know I’d love to.

So as I’m attempting to keep track of the passage of time stated in the text there seems to have been a timeskip of multiple years. The changing of seasons up until last chapter only indicated around one and a half years passing, so either Tang Sanzang is exaggerating and only half a year to one year passes, so definitely one Winter since the narration mentioned frost, or it’s really been a couple of years.

Deer, deer, deer! No fallow deer, those are muntjac deer in the Chinese Original. Cute in the silliest way.

River deer basically yes, our lovely goofy Chinese Water Deer.

Now hold it! Those are not wolves! In the Chinese Original they are either Dholes or a kind of jackal. All three are in the family of Canidae. The wolf shares the Canis genus with jackals, while dholes and jackals are of the same tribe Canini.

I’m leaning more towards Cuon Alpinus so Dholes, which range throughout Asia and are also called Red Wolf or Mountain Wolf, but that might also be personal bias for I watched the Wild Kratts episode on them.

They are really social even more so than wolves and just overall very sweet. However they are classed as endangered!

They also come in a fluffy variant.

Jackals are really neat too though, here it might specifically be the Canis Aureus commonly known as Golden Jackal, which are native to Eurasia.

From Anthony C. Yu’s notes I concur the Vajra-guardians definitely do not look like cherubs neither the modern version nor the biblically accurate one. But they might be somewhat similar in function! Cherubim are assigned to protect special places as one of their jobs, so that guardian function might be the similarity that led to the comparison.

Tang Sanzang getting pouty is so endearing, much more than any ‘scared of demon’ instance.

Though in my opinion the monastery should have been able to kick out those guys that were causing needless trouble over multiple years. Give aid to fellow people yes, but if they knowingly and wilfully act out like that they rescind their right to stay.

Again with the property damage, Sun Wukong might have already cut down on violence against people, but no door is safe from him still.

Undying Tales Project Day 16: An Asiatic canid called the dhole. Once again, I didn't add any elements of the lore and just illustrated this endangered animal. The references I took this from are more from the Indian subspecies rather than the fluffier Chinese or Tibetan species. I'm not sure I did a great job of depicting this particular type of canid rather than a more generic canid.

homemade banh cuon

Originally, I was going to post this as a photo post but I decided no. .. it’s gonna be long, I think lol so I made it into a text post.

Take a look at this spread =D !!

This was in mid-June, at my friend DQ’s parents’ home.

I used to play badminton quite regularly with DQ - until she moved to Montreal a few yrs ago & *counting fingers* .. . we haven’t seen each other IRL for almost 5 yrs!!! She was here visiting her family & friends, & she invited me over for dinner bcos it was just easier (she has 2 kids: one turning 3 in Sept & one is just a few months old).

Her mom prepped most of the stuff already but I did help roll a few banh cuon’s. It was so good!!

Okay, now I’m gonna about banh cuon.

Banh cuon is a Vietnamese dish, & it is basically the Vietnamese version of Cantonese dimsum item “cheung fun”, aka Vietnamese rice rolls. You use (pre-steamed) rice paper to wrap pork & other things inside, & then it’s eaten with some greens & either dipped &/or drizzled with fish sauce. I say rice paper bcos it’s easier to understand but it’s not the type of rice paper you’re imagining (the spring roll or salad rolls kinds). It comes from a rice flour batter, & is poured onto a tray & steamed into a thin sheet. The ones at DQ’s home were purchased from an Asian frozen foods shop called Delta Foods. I have yet to visit this place... but they have frozen & fresh noodles & other items like dimsum as well. I will visit this place soon & try making banh cuon at home too!

The filling.. . traditionally, it contains a mixture of pork, fresh &/or dried shrimp, & onion. These are the most common, from what I’ve read. DQ’s mom used pork, onion, & wood-ear fungus so it’s kinda juicy & a bit crunchy as well. As for garnishes, basil, mint, bean sprouts, cucumber, lettuce. .. what’s not in the photo is this heavenly fried shallot oil that came from DQ’s aunt. She deep fries the shallots & puts it in oil & somehow, the shallots stays crunchy! o_O that stuff was so good!!  * the prepared fish sauce by DQ’s mom has sugar + water + regular fish sauce + fresh lemon juice.

Note: restaurants typically do not use fresh lemon/lime juice in their ‘prepared’ fish sauce mixture that they refrigerate bcos the solution will turn murky over time & it’s not visually appealing when it is served. But if it’s freshly made, they will (or they will cheap out & use the bottled juice). Since this fish sauce was homemade the morning of, you can see in the background that it’s slightly murky bcos she used the real stuff!

With the leftover rice papers, we ripped it into smaller pieces so it’s just basically shreds of rice paper. With these, we kind of made a ‘salad’ out of it, mixing all the garnishes with Vietnamese deli meat. Also very tasty!

Thank you for the meal =D
