Guys, guys I’m so sorry but in all seriousness we need to do our best to stream this as much as possible. I love these characters just as much as you and as Neil does and if we want to see their story finish then we have to get to season three. We have to do this for them and give them the justice they deserve so that this isn’t the last time we’ll see them ok? This cannot be our farewell to them please do your best to stream when you can so we can see them come full circle please.

#im not asking im begging on my hands and knees #im so gutted and unwoven #im dying #fr #but we need to see them again please #this cannot be the last time we see them #bi.f.shit #good omens #good omens 2 #good omens 2 spoilers #i mean not really but #please

An interesting counter-argument that I've seen to Rhaenyra's sons being fathered by Harwin and not Laenor is that while Fire and Blood describes Jace, Luke, and Joff's brown hair & brown eyes, we never actually get the same for Harwin. So, according to this idea, Harwin may not have had these traits at all.

While this is something that I hadn't picked up on, my issue with this idea is that Fire & Blood does actually confirm his looks, through passages like this -

Aemond said it was his brother Aegon who had told him they were Strongs, and Prince Aegon said only, “Everyone knows. Just look at them.”

This takes place in 120 AC, the same year that Harwin has gone back to Harrenhall. Previously, he's lived at court for Aegon's entire life, so Aegon knows full well what this man looked like. He also knows what his nephews look like, having lived at the same castle with them. There isn't really a need for the text to directly state Harwin's looks, if there are passages that talk about his physical resemblance to the boys which in turn would confirm that yes, he must logically also have had these same looks in order for people to have these suspicions?

The fact is, if Alicent wanted to persuade Viserys to listen to her about the succession, then recklessly accusing his daughter of such a thing would not only be incredibly dangerous but the wrong way to go about it. She needed to base her suspicions on something reasonable, and the argument she uses is that all three boys look like Harwin Strong when there is absolutely no logical or plausible reason for them to be that way. I also want to point that far as I recall in both the book & show, Alicent never uses Laenor's sexuality or Harwin being Rhaenyra's shield as a justification. As in she never tries to argue that because Laenor being gay is an open secret that automatically means he isn't capable of having kids with Rhaenyra, or that if those kids aren't Laenor's then they must be Harwin's given that he is her sworn shield and therefore nobody would find the idea of them being alone together suspicious. No, she challenges their legitimacy on the basis that these kids all look like a man whom they have no blood relation to.

would love to hear your thoughts on barbie and oppenheimer -- impossible task since they are so different but which one did you prefer? or what parts (plot, performances, length, story, styling, etc) did you like better? :):):):):):)

Well. I don't know if I'm the right person for this, because I'm a very average movie enjoyer. I'm nowhere near a cinephile, my movie critique is based on whether or not I enjoyed it lol (I also don't understand or care about the technical aspects, so sorry Nolan but I didn't watch it at a 70mm imax compatible theatre) but let me humour you, because BARBIE :)

Overall, I loved Barbie more than Oppenheimer but I knew this would happen, because these historic Nolan movies usually bore me (Dunkirk too, sorry 😅) and three hours for this movie was too much for me. With Barbie, it was a lot of fun, and it strikes such a nostalgia cord for me, because I grew up loving and playing with Barbies lol. The only thing with Barbie was - there was a tweet where Greta Gerwig said it's about growing up and how girls change, they're no longer joyful once they hit puberty and the world changes around them etc. - it had a different plot point than what I expected. To me it was more of a nod to the faults of the patriarchal system as opposed to a growing up story (though I guess, in a way Barbie does grow up) but either way, it was a lot of fun. Styling, the costumes, the decor, the set design was INCREDIBLE (for both movies really, but Barbie is soooo :) PINK 🥰).

I think performance wise, RDJ really stood out, they were all good, and I'm (once again) laughing at anyone who said Ryan Gosling doesn't resemble Ken (like. THAT IS THE POINT. DO YOU THINK THEY'RE DUMB)

In the end, Oppenheimer was a bit too long for me, I don't typically enjoy historic movies, but it had great actors (which is what made it watchable for me ngl), and Barbie was a lot of fun and great visuals while having an albeit bit of a cliche, but accurate plotline. If I were to see one of them again, I'd definitely go for Barbie.

Niter kibbeh / ንጥር ቅቤ (Ethiopian clarified butter)

Niter kibbeh is a butter clarified with herbs and spices. It is commonly used in Ethiopia and Eritrea to add a fresh, robust, well-rounded flavor to meat dishes. Some less traditional recipes include it in Ethiopian lentil stews or use it as a cooking oil; you might also use it in place of ghee or a tadka to lend additional flavor to Indian dishes, or stir it into any soup, stew, or chili to add aroma.

This recipe is for a typical Ethiopian preparation that does not skip steps or rely on undisclosed substitutions of herbs and spices; however, substitutions are suggested for those without access to Ethiopian herbs.

Recipe under the cut!

Patreon | Tip jar

Makes about 1/2 cup.

Ingredients:

For the butter:

2 cups (460g) unsalted butter, ghee (Indian clarified butter), or smen (Moroccan clarified butter)

For a vegan version, use vegan ghee, vegan cultured butter, non-dairy margarine, or refined coconut oil.

Clarified butter and coconut oil contain less water than butter or margarine, so you may have a slightly higher yield with these bases (or reduce your starting amount to 1 3/4 cup). I tested this recipe with 2 cups of Earth Balance stick margarine.

For the manteria:

1 garlic clove

2 cm chunk ginger

1 cm chunk fresh turmeric root, or pinch of ground turmeric (optional)

A few slices shallot or red onion

2 Tbsp (1.5g) dried koseret (ኮሰረት)

2 Tbsp (2.3g) dried Ethiopian holy basil (besobela / በሶቢላ), or one sprig fresh besobela

1 Tbsp Ethiopian false cardamom (korerima / ኮረሪማ)

2 tsp fenugreek seeds (abish or hulbet / አብሽ)

2 tsp nigella seeds (tikur azmud / ጥቁር አዝሙድ)

2 tsp carom seeds (netch azmud / ነጭ አዝሙድ)

Pinch of salt

The "kibbeh manteria" / ቂቤ ማንጠሪያ (or "ye kibe kimem") is the blend of herbs and spices added to the butter while it’s clarifying—the verb "manter" means "to clarify." Each cook has their own preferred manteria recipe, but they are commonly made of some combination of shallot, ginger, garlic, korerima, nigella seeds, carom seeds, fenugreek, besobela, koseret, rosemary, and turmeric.

See notes on spices and herbs at the end.

Instructions:

Niter kibbeh is usually made using clarified fermented butter. If you're starting from a base of ghee or smen (clarified fermented butters which may be readily purchased at halaal grocery stories in the U.S.A. and Europe) or vegan fermented butter, all you need to do is heat the butter with the manteria and then strain. If you're starting from a base of fresh butter, you might choose to ferment it yourself for about a month, or skip this step. I have not tested the fermentation step with non-dairy margarine.

1. Dark-roast the fenugreek. Heat a dry skillet over medium. Roast fenugreek, agitating occasionally, until it has considerably darkened to a medium brown. Set aside and allow to cool. Gring using a mortar and pestle or spice mill.

2. Ferment the butter. If using fresh butter, allow it to soften at room temperature and mix it with a teaspoon of fenugreek and about a tablespoon of koseret until well-combined. Allow to mature in a sealed container at room temperature for 30-40 days, until it is very soft and smooth and smells pungent and well-fermented. This will take longer in a cold climate than a hot one.

Make sure that your storage container and anything else that will touch the butter are clean and dry, and that the container is airtight. If the butter develops mold, discard it.

3. Prepare the wet mixture. Peel and crush garlic, ginger, shallot or onion, and fresh turmeric into a paste using a mortar and pestle. If your besobela is fresh rather than dried, crush it along with the aromatics at this point.

4. Prepare the dry mixture. Coarsely crush dried herbs and spices in a mortar and pestle or spice mill.

5. Make the niter kibbeh. Heat butter, margarine, or coconut oil on medium until melted. Add dry spices and herbs and cook, stirring often, until simmering. You will know when dairy butter is ready for you to proceed to the next step because its foam will dissipate.

6. Add wet herbs and aromatics and lower heat to low. Cook, stirring often, for about 10 minutes or until fragrant. Take off the heat and allow to cool.

7. Strain through a cheesecloth and store in an airtight container, refrigerated, for up to several months. The niter kibbeh will solidify in the fridge.

Notes on spices and herbs:

Besobela

Ethiopian holy basil is a subspecies of basil whose flowers have a distinctive fruity or tea-like aroma. Dried besobela may be purchased online.

Some recipes call for basil or oregano in place of besobela, but to my nose the aroma of besobela is more akin to that of camomile; you might use a mixture of basil and camomile.

Korerima

Korerima, also known as “grains of paradise,” “black cardamom,” or “false cardamom,” is the seed of a plant in the ginger family. Some recipes mistakenly call for Nepal cardamom in place of korerima, because Nepal cardamom is also known as “black cardamom” in English. The aroma of korerima once ground, though, is much more akin to that of green cardamom than to the smoky, camphorous aroma of Nepal cardamom; I would suggest green cardamom as a substitution.

Some niter kibbeh recipes use both the seed and seed pods of 'unhulled' korerima.

Netch azmud

Carom seeds may be found in any halaal grocery store, where they will be labelled "ajwain." You may also see these referred to as “white cumin” or “caraway seeds” in English, but don’t confuse them with true caraway seeds (Carum carvi), which are larger.

Tikur azmud

Because “tikur azmud” literally translates to “black cumin” in English, some recipes make the mistake of calling for kala jeera (Indian black cumin)—however, the seeds are from different plants entirely. “Tikur azmud” refers to the seeds of the Nigella sativa plant, which are known as nigella seeds in English cooking and kalonji in Indian cooking.

Koseret

Koseret, Lippia abyssinica, is a species of plant in the verbena family with a mint-like, camphorous aroma. Dried koseret may be found at a specialty spice store, or online.

Koseret has antibacterial properties which aid in preserving butter; I have not tested fermenting butter without it. You might try a mixture of dried mint and basil as a substitution, but check on the butter frequently if you are fermenting it.
