![]() ![]() Mom says she doesn’t recall her chop suey being this saucy when she’s made it previously, and believes that it may be a result of modifying the recipe to be gluten-free. Mom herself is on a gluten-free diet, and no longer regularly has daycare kids in the house, so I was lucky to find this only mildly stale bun, which was revived with a few seconds in the microwave. I started with a plain old hamburger bun, something I found abandoned in the recesses of Mom’s breadbox. I immediately tried it on a sandwich Hamburger bun ![]() It was an express trip to my childhood, something I hadn’t tasted for decades but recognized instantly. My mom’s chop suey uses Bead Molasses and it is delicious. Today, I am that beaming middle-aged white woman. The measurements I’ve put here are guesstimates, yet to be corroborated by mom. Like many of mom’s recipes, this came to me entirely without measurements of any kind. Not only that, but every recipe I’ve seen call for this ingredient is a chop suey recipe, presented by a beaming middle-aged white woman who calls it “Mom’s Chop Suey.” What is Bead Molasses? My searches online tell me it is a “delicately sweet coloring syrup for Chinese recipes.” However, I have only found one brand referenced in every link: Dynasty brand sold in the US. It is seasoned not only with soy sauce (which may or may not be a part of the gravy in Salem), but also with Bead Molasses. Mom’s version uses a mixture of pork and beef chunks, and embellishes with sliced mushrooms, stir-fried with the same onions, celery, and mass of bean sprouts that appear to form the base of the Salem dish, along with a corn starch-thickened gravy. When my mom heard I’d be tackling this sandwich this month, she spontaneously cooked up a batch for me. Now I grew up eating chop suey as well and it doesn’t look spectacularly different than what Ben Collins tweeted. By the time the Chinese restaurateurs of Salem had developed this particular version of chop suey, the kind served with a hamburger bun in a styrofoam clamshell at the chop suey stand in Salem, the gravy might have changed color from its travels through the central states. By the time the Chinese diaspora had made it here to Salem, Massachusetts, all the way across the country from their starting point of San Francisco, perhaps their chop suey had left behind the water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, or bell peppers it might have featured in parts of the Western US. But in essence it seems to have been a compromise dish, an application of Chinese techniques to mostly-familiar items and flavors.īased on Ben Collins’ photo, the chop suey of Salem appears to be a mass of bean sprouts and possibly a chunk or two of chicken, suspended in a viscous, mostly transparent gravy of some kind. There are a number of stories, mostly apocryphal, about the name “chop suey,” what it means, and how the dish originated. So what is chop suey? Is it truly a Chinese dish, or an invention of Chinese-American restaurants? The second act of the documentary film The Search for General Tso traces how the Chinese who’d immigrated to America spread east after the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which severely limited not only further Chinese immigration but even the types of work they could do, essentially giving birth to the ubiquitous Chinese laundries and Chop Suey restaurants across the United States. wUBjRZAuOX- Ben Collins JSo what is Chop Suey? ![]() They’re called chop suey sandwiches and they only exist in Salem, Massachusetts. Every year on the 4th of July, everyone in my family eats one of these monstrosities. ![]()

They’ll not only give you a great view of the lunar surface, but let you see things like Saturn’s oblong shape (due to its rings) and Jupiter and its moons-as well as distant galaxies and closer nebulae.

But there’s still a lot visible through the 24.5-inch reflector telescope, scheduled to remain open during the remodel.

Sirius states that unlike most other Azkaban prisoners (who often became insane during their terms of imprisonment), he was able to keep his sanity because he knew he was innocent, and also used his Animagus form to ward off the Dementors, who are unable to perceive unsophisticated canine minds.Īppearances Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban He spent the next twelve years in Azkaban, brooding over his friends' deaths and obsessing over Pettigrew's betrayal. ![]() Sirius was arrested, accused of murdering Pettigrew and the muggles and of serving Voldemort, and was promptly thrown in prison by Barty Crouch, Sr. However, Pettigrew outwitted him: confronted by Sirius on a city street, he created an explosion, faking his own death (leaving a severed finger behind as evidence) and killing twelve Muggles in the process. He betrayed the Potters to Voldemort, who subsequently tracked them down and murdered them.Īfter giving his motorbike to Hagrid so that Hagrid could deliver Harry to the Dursleys, Sirius then tracked down Pettigrew, determined to kill him in revenge. As it turned out, Pettigrew was Voldemort's spy within the Order. ![]() Sirius, however, worried that Voldemort would immediately suspect him of being the Potters' Secret Keeper and would target him so he convinced the Potters to reassign Pettigrew as their Secret Keeper because he did not believe Voldemort would ever suspect a "weak, talentless thing" like Pettigrew. Trusting Sirius above all of their other friends, Lily and James wanted him to be their Secret Keeper. When the Potters became aware that Harry was Voldemort's specific target, Albus Dumbledore advised them to go into hiding using the Fidelius Charm, a highly complex spell allowing a secret to be concealed within another person. When their son, Harry, was born, Lily and James named Sirius as Harry's godfather. He remained close friends with James and eventually attended James and Lily Evans' (now Lily Potter) wedding as their best man. After leaving school, Sirius fought against Voldemort, eventually joining the Order of the Phoenix. He was left financially independent by his uncle's generous bequest. Sirius' Uncle Alphard left him a large inheritance, causing Sirius' mother to also remove Alphard's name. His outraged mother burned his name off the family tree. Sirius left home at the age of sixteen and took refuge with James and his parents. Sirius's form is that of a huge black dog, from which his nickname Padfoot was derived. To support Lupin, Sirius, James, and Peter secretly became Animagi, which allowed them to safely accompany Lupin during his transformations and keep him under control. They also became best friends with Peter Pettigrew and Remus Lupin, whom they later discovered was a werewolf. Sirius and James often went out of their way to bully Snape, whom they despised for his great interest in the Dark Arts. Sirius actively supported James, leading to Snape developing an equal and lifelong loathing of Sirius. His popularity was not universal, as a mutual hatred sprang up between James and Severus Snape. Students liked his biting humour, and teachers respected his intelligence, though not his behaviour. Sirius and James were immensely popular and known for their exceptionally good looks. In contrast to his home life, Sirius greatly enjoyed life at Hogwarts, where he was inseparable from his best friend, James Potter. At Hogwarts, rather than be sorted into Slytherin like the rest of his family, Sirius was placed in Gryffindor. ![]() He rejected his family's pure-blood elitism and reverence for the Dark Arts. Sirius's early life proved unhappy he had come to hate most of his relatives, in particular his mother. In line with the Black family tradition of naming children after stars and constellations, Sirius was named after the Dog Star. Sirius had a younger brother, Regulus Arcturus Black, and three older cousins: Bellatrix Lestrange, Andromeda Tonks (his favourite cousin and mother of Nymphadora Tonks), and Narcissa Malfoy (mother of Draco Malfoy). His parents, Orion and Walburga Black, were both Blacks by birth and second cousins. ![]() Sirius Black is the last heir of the House of Black, a once notable Pure-blood Wizarding family. He is portrayed in the film adaptations by Gary Oldman. His character becomes prominent in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, in which he is the titular prisoner, and is also revealed to be the godfather of the central character Harry Potter. Sirius was first mentioned briefly in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as a wizard who lent Rubeus Hagrid a flying motorbike shortly after Lord Voldemort killed James and Lily Potter. Sirius Black is a fictional character in J. |
