Today is my birthday, so I'm going to watch Dianxi Xiaoge, a Yunnan native, all day long and relax in the skills and joy shown by her; a complete opposite of relentless shouty bro chefs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LC6...

oh, my gosh! just watching 5 minutes of this, i feel so soothed. how blessedly calming.
aug 29, 2025, 9:59 am • 3 0 • view
That’s exactly it. I know with 11m viewers that this isn’t and can’t be quite as artless as it seems but whilst watching it, it is.

i could watch this for days, and still there would be lessons to take from it. thank you for sharing such a gift on your birthday. i'll be spending more time with it, guaranteed!

I love it. My admiration of Chinese food knows no bounds and this channel just cements that. @protopigeon.lol

Speaking of Chinese food, I meant to send you this last night. I've really enjoyed this channel, it's only small so far but the vids are great. www.youtube.com/@saintcavish cc @foodycatalicia.bsky.social Lucas is on this channel too

I find it really Zen to watch, especially when it's raining there.

The calmness helps soothe the chaos and noise in my head (without trying to sound overly dramatic).

i'd give anything just to possess a modicum of the level of equinimity she has cleaning those mushrooms. my brain would be racing 10 days ahead.

What a great word! I'm a big fan of repetitive cooking tasks. Podding peas, double podding broad beans, top and tailing beansprouts, etc. Really calming.

i really, really need to slow down more and enjoy the process. maybe if i watch enough of this it will sink in.

Just washing rice and also importantly, watching what you’re doing, works for me.
