fried pumpkin cakes – a three ingredient dessert

i had a lot of pumpkin cakes when i went to china, 南瓜饼

around pumpkin season in the US (you know when the pumpkin spice starts appearing), I started having cravings

the three ingredients

I followed recipe from

https://theplantbasedwok.com/chinese-pumpkin-cakes/print/3142/

basically, 400g puree, 300g glutinous rice flour (from market basket), 40g sugar, mix it all together, divide into patties and fry

note 1: fold flour in a bit at a time

note 2: though in my case I used more rice flour than 300g because it was too sticky (I think the canned puree is more watery than IRL puree?),

here’s some pictures of my process

note: you can see different variations of the recipe in chinese here

virtual environment python not found / can’t be selected on vs code

quick note to self:

for my environment I usually set it up in a random folder (most people seem to set it up in ~/.env) and vscode has difficulty finding it

(in which case it keeps saying “Running cell with Python xxxx 64-bit requires ipykernel package” since I only install my packages in my virtualenv)

Here is how I solved it:

Put in the User settings (in this case I’m working remotely (via remote ssh extension) but applies locally too)

And then put a defaultInterpreterPath into the settings

{
    // "python.pythonPath": "~/v3/bin/python",
    "python.terminal.activateEnvironment": true,
    "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "~/v3/bin/python",
}

And then it shows up when I change the kernel (see third option):

Note:

May require a .vscode folder (with empty settings.json) in the parent repository?
