I think the parent meant "live down" in the American perception of Chinese cuisine as being just "chop suey" and other greasy dishes. The problem is that much of the early Chinese food cooked in America was by miners&#x2

Still trying to find a good one myself. Tried using Evernote but their code formatting isn't that great and I'm always worried about the day they might close shop. Been writing Markdown files in a git repo, then syncing on Gitlab
