[ID: A purplish-grey stew topped with olive oil and garnished with piles of pomegranate seeds. Plates of green peppers, bitter olives, olive oil, taboon bread, green onions, radishes, and za'tar surround the dish. The second image is a close-up of the same stew. End ID]
رمانية / Rummāniyya (Palestinian pomegranate stew)
Rummaniyya (رُمَّانِيَّة; also transliterated "rumaniyya," "rummaniya," and "rummaniyeh") is a Palestinian stew or dip made from lentils, eggplant, and pomegranate seeds, flavored with nutty red tahina and a zesty, spicy دُقَّة (dugga) of dill seeds, garlic, and peppers. A طشة (ṭsha), or tempering, of olive oil and onion or garlic is sometimes added.
"Rummaniyya," roughly "pomegranate-y," comes from رُمَّان‎ ("rummān") "pomegranate," plus the abstract noun suffix ـِيَّة ("iyya"); the dish is also known as حبّة رُمَّانَة ("ḥabbat rommāna"), or "pomegranate seeds." It is a seasonal dish that is made at the end of summer and the beginning of fall, when pomegranates are still green, unripe, and sour.
This stew is considered to be one of the most iconic, historic, and beloved of Palestinian dishes by people from Gaza, Yaffa, and Al-Ludd. Pomegranates—their seeds, their juice, and a thick syrup made from reducing the juice down—are integral to Palestinian cuisine and heritage, and images of them abound on ceramics and textiles. Pomegranates and their juice are sold from street carts and cafes in the West Bank and Gaza.
Today, tens of thousands of tons of pomegranates are grown and harvested by Israeli farmers on stolen Palestinian farmland; about half of the crop is exported, mainly to Europe. Meanwhile, Palestinians have a far easier time gaining permits to work on Israeli-owned farms than getting permission from the military to work land that is ostensibly theirs. These restrictions apply within several kilometers of Israel's claimed borders with Gaza and the West Bank, some of the most fertile land in the area; Palestinian farmers working in this zone risk being injured or killed by military fire.
Israel further restricts Palestinians' ability to work their farms and export crops by imposing tariffs, unexpectedly closing borders, shutting down and contaminating water supplies, spraying Palestinian crops with pesticides, bulldozing crops (including eggplant) when they are ready to be harvested, and bombing Palestinian farmland and generators. Though Palestinian goods have local markets, the sale of Palestinian crops to Israel was forbidden from 2007 to 2014 (when Israel accepted shipments of goods including tomato and eggplant).
Gazans have resisted these methods by disregarding orders to avoid the arable land near Israel's claimed borders, continuing to forage native plants, growing new spices and herbs for export, planting hydroponic rooftop gardens, crushing chalk and dried eggplants to produce calcium for plants, using fish excrement as fertilizer, creating water purification systems, and growing plants in saltwater. Resisting Israeli targeting of Palestinian food self-sufficiency has been necessary for practical and economic reasons, but also symbolizes the endurance of Palestinian culture, history, and identity.
Support Palestinian resistance by calling Elbit System's (Israel's primary weapons manufacturer) landlord; donating to Palestine Action's bail fund; and buying an e-Sim for distribution in Gaza.
Serves 6-8.
Ingredients:
For the stew:
1 medium eggplant (370g)
1 cup brown lentils (عدس اسود)
600g pomegranate seeds (to make 3 cups juice)
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 cup red tahina
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt, to taste
Citric acid (ملح الليمون / حامِض ليمون) (optional)
Red tahina may be approximated with home cooking tools with the above-linked recipe; you may also toast white tahina in a skillet with a little olive oil, stirring often, until it becomes deeply golden brown.
For the دُقَّة (dugga / crushed condiment):
2 tsp cumin seeds, or ground cumin
1 1/2 Tbsp dill seeds ("locust eye" بذور الشبت / عين جرادة)
5 cloves garlic
1 green sweet pepper (فلفل بارد اخضر)
2 dried red chilis (فلفل شطة احمر)
People use red and green sweet and chili peppers in whatever combination they have on hand for this recipe; e.g. red and green chilis, just green chilis, just red chilis, or just green sweet peppers. Green sweet peppers and red chilis are the most common combination.
For the طشة (Tsha / tempering) (optional):
Olive oil
1 Tbsp minced garlic
Instructions:
1. Rinse and pick over lentils. In a large pot, simmer lentils, covered, in enough water to cover for about 8 minutes, or until half-tender.
2. Meanwhile, make the dugga by combining all ingredients in a mortar and pestle or food processor, and grinding until a coarse mixture forms.

Dugga and components.
3. Cube eggplant. A medium-sized eggplant may be cut in half lengthwise (through the root), each half cut into thirds lengthwise, then cubed widthwise.

4. Add eggplant to simmering water (there is no need to stir).

5. While the eggplant cooks, blend pomegranate seeds in a blender very thoroughly. Strain to remove any gritty residue. Whisk flour into pomegranate juice.
Tumblr media

6. Taste your pomegranate juice. If it is not sour, add a pinch of citric acid or a splash of lemon juice and stir.
7. Add dagga to the pot with the lentils and eggplant and stir. Continue to simmer until the eggplant is very tender and falling apart.
8. Add pomegranate juice, tahina, and olive oil to the pot, and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until stew is very thick and homogenous.

9. (Optional) In a small skillet, heat a little olive oil on medium. Fry minced garlic, stirring constantly, until golden brown. Add into the pot and stir.
10. (Optional) Mash the stew with the bowl of a ladle or a bean masher to produce a more homogenous texture.
Serve rummaniyya hot or cold in individual serving bowls. It may be served as an appetizer, or as a main dish alongside flatbread, olives, and fresh vegetables such as radishes, green peppers, green onions, carrots, and romaine lettuce. It may be eaten with a spoon, or by using كماج (kmāj), a flatbread with an internal pocket, to scoop up each bite.

hello! recently ive had an obsession with drinks, and almost each night ive been making one, ranging from chai latte to orange julius, to milkshakes. but ive been running out - do you happen to have any recipes? nonalcoholic would be preferable, and names are just fine too unless it’s not a wide spread concoction. thank you!!!
How about instead of a recipe, I give you some less-used ingredients and you can DIY some combinations?
Red Bell Pepper Juice! You can sometimes buy it at specialty stores, or you can blend/crush/mash some red bell peppers and strain the juice out yourself. I really like it combined with simple syrup and lime juice for a rich mocktail.
You can also use other vegetable juices in fun little drinks. Carrot juice can be surprisingly sweet. Sugar Beets are named that for a reason. There's a lot of folks down here in the south who just drink sweetcorn juice.
You can get a deeper, smokier flavor by braising your veggies until they char a little, before juicing them.
Seedlip Spice 94, for an herbal, conifer-like flavor. I love this paired with lavender syrup, in any clear soda. It tastes like summer!
Coconut Cream (not coconut water! It's different!) Can be used as a base instead of ice cream, with frozen mango for an ultra-creamy, richly flavored frozen drink. The ratios here will be different, so use your own judgement.
Consider going to a foreign food market, and buying like... random canned fruit you've never heard of. Using lychee syrup is delicious. You can also look around for fruits and drinks you've never tried. There's a whole world out there of packaged drink powders!
Gochujang sweetened with honey and lime, cut with ginger beer is... an experience. Get the ratios right, and it's addictive.
Think about muddling herbs/fruits into your clear soda, which aren't just 'mint and cucumber' - Basil and lime. Dill and apple. Blackberry and Anise.
Had muddled basil and simple syrup in some iced coffee recently. It was intriguing. Good? Not sure, but it compelled me.
Be adventurous and you'll never run out of new flavor combinations to try~

How to DIY energy drinks for cheap
First, required reading: link to article
Energy drinks have a few vital components:
>sweetener
>flavor
>water
>caffeine
>bubbles (i never do that and don't know how)
Here are some of my favorite things to use:
>granulated sugar (sweetener)
>stevia leaf or granulated artificial sweetener (sweetener)
>kool aid (flavor, sweetener)
>loose-leaf herbs (flavor) (try hibiscus petal, chicory, even lemongrass and mint can be nice)
>lemon juice (flavor, preservative)
>kool aid (easiest flavor/sweetener combo)
Supplies you might need:
>kettle or pot for heating water
>tea strainer ball to keep your leaves out of the final product
>a nice ragu jar or old Gatorade bottle for pre-made stuff
>funnel for pourin
>ladle for scooping liquid into the funnel
Kaffn-8 or any other such liquid caffeine product will do you for caffeine. That brand is super easy and convenient. Kaffn-8 is my favorite for the quality and ease in dosing, as well as the value (15 bucks has lasted me 2 months of daily use).
I like to make a sugar-flavor concentrate, then assemble each glass as I need it. Sugar tastes better when melted with heat than when dissolved without heat, even once chilled. This also allows me to tweak caffeine content. Here is how to make it:
Fill tea ball with herbs (use about a handful or 1/2 cup for every quart of water, you're making it strong)
Heat water and pop the tea ball in
Simmer or keep hot for 10 min
Remove tea ball and turn off heat
While hot, add as much sugar as you had herbs, and mix until melted.
Mix in as much lemon juice (or other assorted acid or preservative) as you can stand. The more preservative, the longer it'll keep
Allow to cool enough to handle
Jar it up, put it in the fridge for later use. You can and should re-use all manner of bottle, just be wary of melting anything plastic or burning your hands w hot water.
A note: the smaller your batches, the less you waste. But high concentrations of acid and sugar keep it good for up to a month in the fridge.
To use: mix water in a cup with your syrup, tweaking concentrations until it tastes good. Add caffeine, measuring your dose carefully.
Then, do bubble magic to add carbonation if you can do that. Maybe you found a soda stream somewhere. If you don't have bubbles, you'll just have to enjoy your energy drinks flat.
And, you're all done!
Now, where to get everything:
(Grow your own herbs if you are mega brave. Mints are nearly indestructible little plants.)
Lemon juice, dollar store. Quality is the same, you've just got to shake it up.
if its a foreign grocer, they likely have herbs cheap. If its a Mexican grocery, they 100% have the best herbs. (Aguasfrescas drink mixes are cheap and THE BOMB, and hibiscus flower always comes in mega bulk) .
Herbalist and spiritual shops have herbs too, and are likely to have tea balls. Branch out! Catnip has been my favorite oddball herb.
Farmers markets also have some (like three if you're lucky) herbs, and you may have to dry them yourself. Since it's punk to reach out to your community, ask around at the farmers market to see if you can get any herb or dried flavorant that's on your mind- small businesses love consumer feedback! You just might have to wait for the plant to grow, heh, but if you're friendly then you'll make friends. Some examples: ask the jam bottler for dried fruit peels, the farmer for mugwort
I get my artificial sweeteners on closeout, my stevia from herbal shops, and my sugar at Walmart (bite me, its cheap and I'm poor).
Kaffn-8 can only be found online, as far as I'm aware. I promise I'm not sponsored, just a grateful caffeine addict.
Do Google your herbs for drug interactions if you take meds. Healthline has good info on herbs. Dried grapefruit rind can mess with my psych meds, for example.
Again, be careful about caffeine. Always dose your caffeine. Having high levels of caffeine on tap is a bit of a big responsibility: I know I nearly bit the dirt from the all-you-can-eat espresso bar at my college. Immaturity could kill you, caffeine is a drug. Count doses, never go above 500 a day, try not to go more than 200 in the same hour.
Now take that money you've saved and give it to a charity to blow a very mean raspberry at nestle. Or, yknow, feed yourself. Its a tough world.

Do you drink alcoholic beverages and live in the US? Would you like to have more clear labelling of ingredients, nutritional labels, and additives on alcoholic products?
Tumblr media
https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/01/31/2024-01855/labeling-and-advertising-of-wine-distilled-spirits-and-malt-beverages-with-alcohol-content
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) is announcing virtual listening sessions to receive input from the public on labeling of wine, distilled spirits, and malt beverages to disclose per-serving alcohol and nutritional information, major food allergens, and/or ingredients. The Department of the Treasury's February 2022 report on “Competition in the Markets for Beer, Wine, and Spirits” recommended that TTB revive or initiate rulemaking in these areas. These listening sessions are intended to engage the public, including consumers, public health stakeholders, and industry members of all sizes, and facilitate the public's ability to provide input to inform rulemaking. This notice sets forth the dates and times of the virtual listening sessions and instructions for registration. It also opens a docket for submitting written comments on the issues to be discussed in the listening sessions.
Have you ever picked up an alcoholic product like wine and wanted to know if it has added flavors and sugars? Are you a tequila drinker frustrated by the lack of disclosure about abocantes or additives like caramel coloring, sugar syrups, etc.? Are you a WHISKY drinker that's frustrated about that? Do you enjoy rum, but want to move on from brands that add a ton of sugar to their rum after distillation? Do you drink sweet wine, but want to know if you're actually drinking real wine, or just a wine cocktail? Do you have to be careful drinking, because there are many alcoholic products that have things you're allergic to but are not disclosed on the label, like colorings, preservatives, or other additives?
SUBMIT A FORMAL COMMENT at the above link by March 29th to have your voice heard! You can also submit anonymously, all you need to put is your email!
Tumblr media
(... and please reblog also if you can)

I have a bee-related question: Stardew Valley has bee homes that generate honey for you, and if you plant flowers near their hives, it generates a honey based on that flower. I was wondering if that can actually happen with bee hives, and if you can get naturally different flavored honey if a hive pollinates a specific flower, or if it's just a game mechanic for variety sake
yeah, actually!
the quality and taste of honey varies pretty hugely depending on what type of flowers were used to create it. most commercial honeys are just kind of a fun whatever-the-bees-found-that day mélange with maybe some added corn syrup, but there's also a specialty market for honeys where the bees were only exposed to (mostly) a specific type of flower!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
so yeah, the next time you have some free cash and find yourself in need of a sweet treat, perhaps you could experiment a little :)
(orange blossom honey is my personal favorite, but they're all good. I mean. it's all honey.)

Vivien as an Herbalist
Tumblr media
Vivien lives in a medium-sized apartment with a porch, and he has made it his own. Most of the porch is covered in raised garden beds, tiered planters, and hanging baskets, leaving a very small area for him to kneel and garden. 
Inside the apartment, he has an indoor greenhouse for the more delicate plants. It has screen windows and no less than 12 shelves. Last Christmas, he decided to splurge and get a hydroponic garden that can grow food year-round. Vivien doesn’t much like vegetables, but the lure of growing his own green onions, bok choy, and strawberries was too much to ignore.
Vivien mostly grows edible or medicinal plants. Flowers are lovely, and there is a special place in his heart for them, but he works with flowers all day at work. At the end of the day, Vivien only wants to come home, check on his plants, and eat some fresh herbs. That is, until he meets his Darling.
In addition to simply cooking and eating them, Vivien also makes use of his plants in a different way. Herbal teas, syrups, extracts, ointments; If Darling needs it, Vivien will to anything to give it to them.
Joints aching? Vivien has a balm made of fresh Eucalyptus he made himself, and if you want he’ll apply it for you. Feeling anxious and need a relaxing hot bath before bed? Vivien has a blend of lavender, chamomile, and valerian root to put in, and he’ll give you a nice massage after. Darling is struggling with stomach cramps? Vivien can easily whip up a honey cake with a lemon balm and rosemary glaze and feed it to you. 
Whenever Darling is sick, Vivien is perfect. All the herbs are perfect for flavoring a soup, and he will personally ensure you take a spoonful of echinacea & elderberry syrup three times a day in addition to whatever modern medication the doctors have prescribed.
Some weekends, Vivien will wake up early and head to the local farmer’s market. He has a small booth that he mans for a few hours, selling his more “legal” concoctions for a little extra cash. Don’t worry, he keeps Darling’s sedatives and muscle relaxants hidden. For their safety, of course.
Vivien’s plants are one of the most important things to him, second only to his precious Darling.

Energy drink bros 🇹🇭🇦🇹⚡️ > Krating Daeng was first made in Thailand in 1976 > An Austrian businessman made a partnership to create its derivative brand, Red Bull in 1987 for European & American market I drank Krating Daeng on college and it tastes a bit like cough syrup. They have a different composition and adjusted flavor to fit each market too, so I'm curious how different their taste could be 👀

lee seokmin. he swears the blue fabric of his soul intertwines with your green
moments from your love story. suggestive 18+
♡the rooftop curves below your window and straightens out enough feet to lay down— for two people to lay side by side. you tell your friends that’s where the love became, bloomed, unraveled you
♡you want to call him again— show him you’re right where he left you, willing to pick this back up. have you been sitting around waiting? no… have you left the space open because it felt right? absolutely
♡you told him once to picture you as the moon, see your smile in its light. apparently, he listened. the 500 pictures in a photo album that doesn’t quite capture its beauty tells you so
♡he started crying when he saw your birthmark for the first time, embraced by the trust you have in him, the love you have for him, understanding he’s the first man to ever see all of you
♡he’s taken you apart in his head so many times. he’s put you back together in different patterns, trying to understand the exact stitch that created perfection, before adding a little bit of him to you because he swears the blue fabric of his soul intertwines with your green. he swears—and he never swears—that fate surely exists and did this
♡he’s spinning out. he’s spinning out because the charge your love gives him is running low, but you’re across an ocean. you’re across an ocean while he peers outside a window, imagining your shape in a crowd, and he nearly fills up from the daydream alone. the smile that shifts his mouth is electric and warm and my god does he love you
♡he started braiding your hair while watching movies that relax him to the point of drifting off, but time with you doesn’t come as often as he wants, so his hands stay busy and his eyes never close. your laughter is always known, and he doesn’t miss the tilt of your head to give him an upside down kiss that flips his stomach
♡he’s not lonely. he’s just aware of the alone he’s drifted into. he’s aware of the people around him, and the way no one smells like you or caresses his heart as gently. so he walks to the plant nursery two blocks down because they’ll have irises, and the delicate touch you’ve extended to their purple petals will play behind his eyes like a movie scene: crisp and clean and a satisfying dose of you
♡there’s a journal in his glove compartment filled with memories and sudden thoughts— all of them about you. because he knows what this will be, he knows what this will flow into. he knows this is forever, with you, and god knows he won’t forget the three flavors of lip balm kept in your purse or the pair of socks you’ll never get rid of because your grandpa gifted them to you, and they surpass the softest thing you’ve ever touched. you’ve stitched five toe holes and wear them on your vaseline-covered hands when winter’s chill cracks your skin
♡keep driving. you want him to. you brought your plate from breakfast, and he laughed as you cut your blueberry pancakes in the passenger seat. he laughed and wondered if you have enough maple syrup, if you should pull over and run into the market around the corner. you tell him something cheesy, something about his sweet gaze over-shining whatever syrup you may be missing. keep driving
♡he came over in the middle of the night and used the key you quietly added to his chain. he says your name in the darkness of your bedroom. he kisses your hair and blinks to adjust his eyes and pinpoint body parts. he pulls a sweatshirt out of your closet and dresses you in between yawns and lazy kisses. he doesn’t know why he’s here beyond the missing you that led him to his car
♡you’re certainly daylight. and you’re orange juice at sunrise and mountain peaks through a cloud. you’re honey-dipped fingers. you’re warm sand and his favorite melody. he drinks a glass at breakfast every morning. he remembers your secrets and awes at your surprises. he licks the sweetness off his fingers in an attempt to savor all of you. he plays the same thirty seconds of a song in the car after your shared goodbyes
♡the backyard grass is cool and soft beneath your bare feet. your dress looks beautiful as it passes the strands, cloaking their green for a moment or two. he’s looking right at you, feeling the new piece of jewelry on his finger, feeling like he can breathe so easily, feeling like everything is quite possibly just right

Wait, did you say you put jam on a sausage roll?! Did I read that right? Or is the Covid messing with me more than I thought?
Jam on sausage roll is delicious. :D
I know how to eat a sausage roll, I know it's not normal, but spiced meat and sweet syrups have a long history, it's a medieval flavor combination, and it's also still very much present in American cooking -- a lot of people will dip their sausage in overflow syrup from pancakes, and a lot of places make sausages that are marketed as like "hint of maple syrup" where there's a little sweet with the sausage. So I didn't slather it on or anything, but every few bites I'd add some jam just for a little flavor jolt. It's especially nice on the sausage roll because pastry's involved, so it also sinks into the pastry a little and softens it.
Anyway, can recommend Sainsbury's premade sausage rolls with strawberry jam, that's the good shit.
