Uh oh, it wasn't Dulce, was it? She is known for being.. well, Dulce. Find out in the next segment.

Previous / Next (Transcript under the cut)

(1.) [Carlo] This is...

[Mia] Dulce-

(2.) [Sofia] It's amazing! And with the added bacon bits? There's added flavor and crunch. I like these a lot.

(3.) [Mia] Yes, and somehow everything altogether isn't overwhelming. Every ingredient shines in harmony.

[Carlo] Delicious, but personally, I feel like the bacon bits make these a bit heavy for an appetizer.

(4.) [Dulce] Thank you, judges.

[Andrea] Next, here's Rubiya's appetizer!

(5.) [Rubiya] Okayy, Dulce! I see you. She's setting the bar high and I'm older than her. Well, we're the same age right now, but I'm in a grade above her at school. Anyway, my goal is to impress all three judges. Let's do this.

(6.) [Rubiya] Judges, I present to you: Spaghetti with merguez sausage meatballs and shakshuka sauce with a side of garlic flatbread with pea shoots.

(7.) [Carlo] The meatballs are a bit dry... but I suppose if you put enough of the sauce on them they're not so bad.

(8.) [Mia] Oh hush now, Carlo. That's what the sauce is there for.

[Carlo] It's good, though. It's good.

[Mia] Rubiya, let me add that I thoroughly enjoy the texture of your pasta as well.

(9.) [Rubiya] Thank you, judges. I appreciate the feedback.

[Andrea] Lastly, we have Chef Alex's appetizer.

(10.) [Alex] It's time.

(11.) [Alex] Judges, I give you a raclette with merguez sausage, pea shoots, vegetable flatbread, and a side of shakshuka sauce.

(12.) [Sofia] Lovely presentation, Chef Alex.

[Carlo] It seems lazy to me, but at least you didn't try to replace marinara sauce with shakshuka sauce and call it a day.

[Mia] I can't wait to try everything.

(13.) [Mia] I was a bit hesitant about the sauce being used as a side, but whatever you added to it really made it more complex. Everything is delicious.

(14.) [Sofia] The type of cheese you chose too... it's interesting.

(15.) [Carlo] I wish you did more with the pea shoots, but the dish itself works.

(16.) [Alex] Thank you, judges.

[Andrea] Thank you, chefs! Please proceed to the room next door so that the judges can begin their discussion.

(17.) *Muffled voices*

(18.) [Lewis] Well, it was nice meeting everyone. Do you guys want to share phone numbers to keep in contact with each other?

[Rubiya] Lewis! Don't say that! It's not certain that you're the one who's diced.

(19.) [Dulce] For sure it's not you, Rubiya. Chef Mia stood up for you and this is basically her show. That spaghetti did look awesome in every way.

[Rubiya] Thank you! So did your pizza wedges.

(20.) [Alex] Yeah, everyone here has talent and technique... and make company. It would be cool to get everyone's number.

[Lewis] Yes! Let's do it.

[Rubiya] Yay!!!

(21.) [Alex] Well, I'm not some heartless monster. I do feel bad for Lewis, I guess.

(22.) [Andrea] Welcome back to the judges' table, chefs. Our judges have made their decision.

(23.) N/A

(24.) [Mia] Chefs, thank you for the appetizers you have prepared for us. The various dishes we had were splendid.

[Carlo] We had much to discuss, both good and bad things despite there being an obvious choice regarding who should be diced.

(25.) [Sofia] However, we discovered something... turns out, we have a bigger issue than burnt croutons.

(26.) [Mia] Somebody here did not fully follow the rules of Diced Junior.

#posting two parts today cuz i don't like how very little was covered in the last part!!#now i feel comfortable leaving it off here 😌😌😈#dang how many times have i typed “burnt” and “croutons” in all these posts combined #dulce alegria #rubiya jabal #alex marino #lewis mack #tjolc gen 1 #tjolc #alegria legacy #matchalovertrait #carlo mancini #mia d'angelo ramirez #sofia bjergsen #sims 4 #ts4 #sims #sims 4 legacy #ts4 simblr

okay mota part 4 spoilers:

that was so much better than the last episode!! felt less rushed, got to dive into the characters a bit more, cool to see the town and surroundings and stuff. and the opening scene of gale... WHEW.

really fuckin disappointed (tho not surprised) that there was literally just one mention of curt and it was just when they were listing people who died. a month timeskip, no mourning, not even an offhand comment from gale or john or any of the guys and i didn't really expect otherwise but it was still nice to have silly hope the past week lol. altho there was that moment where gale and john were both kinda unspoken-ly bitter? sad? about the people they had lost but they never directly commented on it.

but i did love getting a bit of character development, seeing the guys get to have some fun, watching gale and john look at each other like idiots in love (the way gale watched john talk back to his superior?? the way john watched gale dance with meatball?? smitten idiots.) but also that scene with john talking back was very much 'i'm in pain so i'm trying to self sabotage by getting people angry enough at me to hit me so i can feel something' vibes, like plane wing 2.0 except no one will hit the way curt did. :(

and the sex scene good LORD. god. felt like an unintentional apology for the emotional turmoil of the last episode LOL. i'm gnawing on john's thighs and i would have folded so fast if i were that woman, i would not have been leaving that room in the morning.

the end was pretty devastating except i think i know what's up with gale's crew and obv they're not killing him off, glad we at least got john's reaction to him not making it back. i was predicting he'd have a little bit of a dive off the deep end thinking he lost his other closest friend and i'm pretty sure him asking to be put in the next mission is that.

there are so many more scenes i really liked but i'm fuckin terrible at names, it's a wonder i even remember the main three lmaooo so not gonna go there and this blog was mainly made for shippy fic writing/brainrot so <3

anyway on the fruity side of things, once i figure out how to yoink clips from apple, there were so many cute buck x bucky scenes that i will be editing to hell!! it felt a little heart healing to get scenes of them being happy together. that's allllll, hope ur enjoying/enjoyed the episode too ^^

Seeking Bojza DR Help

NEXT Saturday (May 13th) a few people in my FC are tentatively hoping to clear the Bojza duty Delubrum Reginae, the 1-24 man duty that unlocks weekly quests for gold coins and the second region, Zadnor.

We've poked at it before but three of the four of us have some chronic health issues and DR is... intense. If you've only got a small party. Which has made it hard to get through the whole thing before we hit that pain threshold and have to stop.

Even thought there's a 10 min queue built in, this is fairly obscure content with quite a few steps to unlock. So there's just not that many people running DR on a whim and we can't usually expect randos to end up with us to help

So I'm putting feelers out to see if anyone would like to join us next week! I THINK that since world visiting is now a thing, anyone can team up, but I'm not 100% sure. At the very least folks in the Crystal DC should have no issues?

We're pretty chill, casual players but all four of us have cleared MSQ and have at least a couple classes up to 90, one of us is a Mentor - we're experienced! Plus we've got a tank and a healer, so you'd be welcome to play any class you like.

We're looking for friendly, patient folks to help us out! It will PROBABLY happen somewhere around 2-5pm US Eastern time - we really only have this window due to the wide time zone spread of our group, sorry!

If you don't have Bojza unlocked, it's a bit time consuming but not too difficult and has some really cool rewards. You'll have to rank up a bit to reach DR, but hopefully a week's notice gives anyone who wants to join but isn't there yet time to prep!

If you're interested, comment under this post or DM me! I'll keep the original post updated as much as I can with how we're doing on numbers, so if you're coming from a reblog, give the main post a look!

Currently at: 17/24 (possibly 18/24) @/skostoflight @/tallbluelady @/chiclet-go-boom @/thelongestway @/sinus-lacrimarum @/ashenbun @/meatball-headache @/meganemaryam @/shadowmoses (+3-4) @/dire-catgirl

Maybes: 8 @/boggleoflight @/thorneyes @/eorzeashan @/meeshster @/shebaa

Reserve:

@/lark-mage

If we fill up a party I'm happy to keep adding others to sit in reserve in case someone can't make it, but ofc can't guarantee we'll be able to fit everyone into the run. Thank you all so much for the interest! ;w;

Also turning reblogs off since we have so many maybes now!

“lance why the fuck are you buying tuna, nobody eats that”

“okay FIRST OF ALL-“

they were sent by allura to get some food for everyone and ended up arguing like a married couple in-front of the cashier and everyone else in line for 10 minutes straight (nobody complained, it was thoroughly entertaining and entertainment is something you need when ordering subway) needless to say they’re no longer allowed to buy food for anyone anymore AT LEAST without someone there to keep the peace and prevent them from embarrassing themselves like toddlers

keith teases lance about buying tuna when he ends up eating a meatball sub so who’s the loser now (jk i love him dearly), i refuse to believe he doesn’t have some wicked scar on his face like on his eye or smth because number 1, literally everyone in the universe wants to bloody kill him but also because its cool and he deserves to have some sort of scar okay- also keith with earrings just hits differently

why is lance wearing a purple earring? honestly i dont even know myself but it looks good- the bandage was intentional though, mf got it 10 minutes before they were sent to get food after trying to impress the cadets with his awful skateboarding skills (he made a fool out of himself but at least he made everyone laugh, win win ordeal iykwim)

the shading is god awful on this but i still love it because of the stupid subway background that i found on google not even 2 minutes of searching, ty toast for helping me w the background i wouldve stared at pinterest for 30 minutes questioning my existence without your guidance

I'm beginning my horrendously long foray into the /idgames archive tonight (just for doom2 maps rn), and the first map I decided to play was one BADTRIP1.wad. I have little to no idea who made this map seeing as I was stupid enough to mass extract all of the wads from their respective categorizations and plop them all in one folder and deleting their text files (unbelievably stupid). Horrendous shotgun audio replacement and confusing puzzle designs await me in this honestly quite forgettable and annoying, 90's era map.

This may have been a wonderful doomcute-esque bar when this map came out (date unknown because the wad itself is confusingly dated for January 1st of 1980), but even so, I really do think this is just a sloppy job. Speaking of the date when this map came out, I am under the assumption that the person who had made this wad probably either forgot to set their clock after the CMOS battery died in their computer, or never cared in the first place. I believe this map was made in the ensuing months after Doom 2's original release but whose to say for certain, I'm way too lazy to check and finding the zip it was located in inside of the massive archive makes me want to look for it even less.

Even though this map does have the occasional (dare i say) good(?) combat encounter, i do think this really is a weird showing of classic 90's mapping tropes, weird secrets that may or may not be required to progress the level/not marked secrets, horrendous audio replacements for weapons and/or enemy noises, seizure inducing flashing sector lights, and really really confusing map design round out this trifecta of potentially unfavorable map qualities, I can't help but enjoy the weird out of touch charm of this map.

I lied, I am really annoyed with this combat encounter in particular. Extremely heavy use of the zombie sergeant almost to a ridiculous degree. If I would have to tell you one thing i hate in doom maps, it would be the needlessly heavy use of a hitscan enemy in a combat encounter, to the point where the hitscanners are the most oppressive enemy in the area.

2 Mancubi who are either stuck or have been placed on a weird linedef that they cant see me really make this encounter the kind of needlessly difficult and unfun time it is.

The trap that springs when grabbing the plasma gun is a couple of monster closets that hold 2 Revenants and at the very least 2 floating meatballs. (edit: its 4 flying meatballs)

I went into one of the rooms on the side of that rather large combat encounter and happened across a maze. A shotgunner maze. A shotgunner maze with quite a few of the hallways having flashing lights strobing at different intervals. I didn't think my enjoyment of this map could have been lowered any further at this point in my playthrough. The flashing lights got so bad that I pretty much had to use the lightamp toggle cheat so my head didn't hurt more than it already did.

Oh great, the tower in the middle of the area was actually progression, i could have never seen that coming.

This Archvile/Pinky encounter room looks cool at least.

I am very rapidly losing interest at this point and i finally just got the yellow key so i can at the LEAST get to the exit section.

It leads into a slightly annoying fodder trap.

Which then leads into whatever the fuck this is beyond the door?

At this point my patience has become thin enough to move through an airlock seal.

The exit switch.

I really really do think there are some interesting design choices in the map, I really really do, but there are just so many glaring issues with the encounters that I cant in good conscious recommend this to anyone. My interest pretty much ran out by the last couple of rooms and it really really shows with my lack of thoughts on the map by the end.

4/10

Nostalgic Foods [2000s ‘Murican edition]

Cosmic Brownies. 8/10. The 12 packs of Little Debbie snacks are bigger versions of the 6 packs, and the cosmic brownies only have the dividing line in the smaller package. It’s also why the oatmeal pies have more filling in the 12 pack. Not as good as an actual brownie, but one of my favorite snack cakes.

Hamburger Helper [the cheeseburger macaroni flavor] 6/10

Hamburger helper pasta never cooks right because some always gets stuck on the bottom of the pan. My mom and I could never make it without some being crunchy. It’s a good and cheap way to make a pasta dish, but making a casserole is better.

2000s kid cuisine meals 7/10

Kid cuisine food has never been that good, but that’s a theme with American frozen dinners. They had a lot of cool collaborations with popular cartoons and more variety back then. The macaroni and the dessert were always the best part though.

Gushers 8/10

Most “fruit snacks” are really just a dessert pretending to be healthy, and this is in that group. But there’s just something about these waxy chewy hexagons full of flavored corn syrup.

Pizza lunchables [both flavors] 9/10

I was never a cracker lunchable person [or a Hormel party platter person]. The pizza ones were the best, but like all the others they made more sense as a snack than a meal. Sometimes my mom would buy two over the summer, and they’d be eaten in a day tops.

Kool-aid bursts. 9/10

My parents didn’t usually buy these, but I had a friend at school who used to bring one for lunch and my dad sometimes gave me one. Hard to open, but really cool looking and pretty tasty.

Spaghettios. 7/10

The meatball one tastes different than the plain. They make one with hot dog chunks 🤮. Yet another product pretending to be healthy, but at least it was filling. Given how nasty Cambells other soup is, I always preferred these.

Mini Cheeze-itz and Chips ahoy in a cup. 9/10

Chips ahoy cookies were always dry to me, but the mini ones were small enough that I liked them. My parents didn’t buy these often, and I don’t blame them.

Uncrustables. 9/10

Had these for lunch as the entree in the cold lunches for field trips. I hated most deli meat as a kid [still do] and cold cheese, so unless I was eating a salami and mustard sandwich from home [goated] I would take the Uncrustables.

#nostalgia #unhealthy foods #American grocery store food aimed at children.#Some of these are still alright once in a while.

Look Deep Within Pt. 3 (Dylan Lenivy x reader)

Here it is. I struggled a bit with this part, but I think a lot of you are going to enjoy it. Just as a little spoiler, there might be two more parts until this story leaps into the events of the game. It might take me longer to get those chapters out... just because I want to jam pack everything into it.

Also, if you ever see something that fits the description of a girl, please let me know. I’ve been really good at making sure things are told in a way where you describe yourself. I know I accidently said her instead of them in the last part and that has since been fixed!

11:02 | July 3 Hackett's Quarry Lodge Kitchen

Your e/c eyes were stuck staring at the ingredients in front of you. It's not like you forgot how to make the food. It was a very simple recipe and very simple food. It just felt like, your mind was clouded with something else, perhaps Dylan? You have been lost in your mind ever since that one day at breakfast.

"Heellloooo~" Dylan sang as he walked into the kitchen. He was wearing his usual look of a t-shirt and jeans. Very stylish, very comfy. You looked over at him and sent him a small smile before going back to looking at the food in front of you.

"Where's your group?" You asked as you started to paste together what you had to do.

"They're out with Jacob. He's doing ya know, sport things." He answered and stood next to the table you were standing at. He looked down at the food and at your confused face.

"Right right, I forgot that was before lunch,"

"You okay there? Do you need a reminder for what you need to make?" He chuckled lightly.

"No, my mind is just blank at the moment." You replied as you pushed the ingredients together for the corresponding food.

"Ah, brain fart," he nodded and leaned against the counter.

"Yeah..." you mumbled and took a step back and nodded.

"Okay, so meatball subs are pretty simple. We just need to heat up the meatballs and sauce. The pasta salad... We need to cook the noodles, and then put them in the fridge to cool... cut some veggies, we'll have to boil eggs... um..."

"Chill, y/l/n, how about you focus on stuff that goes on the stove, and I'll start cutting things up," Dylan suggested. You nodded at the suggestion.

"Yeah, that works," you agreed and started to get ready. It was sometimes quite awkward when it was just you and Dylan. After you found out about him being your long-lost best friend... It's like you didn't want to be yourself anymore. Mostly in fear that he would find out and it would just get awkward... Would it? It would be awkward for you at least.

Out of everyone, it had to be him? I mean it made sense. He had that humor that attracted you to him in the first place. The charmish smile, those beautiful beautiful eyes- oh my god. Shake the thought out of your head.

That was before... six years ago, he is not the same person as he was then. People change when they hit puberty, and he definitely did. I mean... he got way taller and stood above you no matter what. Some might even describe him as the Hyperion. Aka, the tallest tree in the world.

"It sucks Mr. H took out phones. We could be listening to some jams right now," Dylan commented. You nodded in agreement. He was right, it would be nice to listen to some music while making food for all the kids. And to help keep your head out of your thoughts.

"There might be a radio somewhere? Don't know what stations you would find though," You explained while bringing out some big pots.

"In this very kitchen? Okay, break from the veggies, I'm looking for this radio." He seemed determined, that or he just wanted to get out of cutting veggies. His eyes gazed around the room at the possible locations that the radio could be hidden.

"I don't think so... maybe in one of the tall shelves, or something. I haven't been able to reach up there." You suggested, to which he let out a laugh.

"I gotta hand it to you short people... mostly because they can't' reach it anyways," he held a smug look on his face.

"Is that supposed to be funny?" You looked over at him confused.

"Y-yes?" Dylan sounded unsure of himself. You shook your head and let out a small laugh. He was trying to be funny and you had to give that to him. When in doubt, laugh at the sad attempt at their joke.

"Just look for that radio, dumb dumb." you kept a smile on your face.

"Aww, I got you to laugh," Dylan made his way over to you.

"I think you're just hearing things to feed your ego," You replied not realizing that he was behind you.

"Is that so?" He said as tased your side. You let out a yelp and felt your body fall backward from the impact. Dylan's laugh filled your ears as he easily caught you from falling to the ground. Your head fell back against his chest as you let out a laugh. His arms wrapped around your waist, a smile wide on his face. His eyes looked towards your face.

"Hello fell-" the voice broke you guys out of your... whatever you would call it. The two of you quickly pulled away from each other.

"Am I interrupting something...?" Nick asked as he looked at the both of you.

"No no," you shook your head.

"I was uh- I was looking for the radio. Yes... yes and she um-" Dylan tried to come up with an idea.

"I slipped and he caught me, yup, yup," You stepped in.

"Right... right..." Nick nodded slowly, "right... should I go?"

"No! You- You can help." Dylan nodded in agreement as he slowly pulled himself further and further away from you.

"Are you sure? Cause the two of you look like you have it all under control" Nick pointed out as he slowly backed towards the door.

"I swear Nick. You tell anyone what you saw and put it without context, I will tell Abi how you feel about her." You threatened the poor boy.

"I- You got it, boss," and with that Nick left the kitchen. You let out a sigh and felt your face heat up. You turned towards the pots that were on the stove and steered the sauce to keep it from burning.

"Right... now... where was the pesky radio," Dylan muttered and continued to look for the radio. Your eyes were glued to the food out of fear that... if you looked at Dylan you would break.

It's not like you had a thing for Dylan... it was more like... an awkward moment that would... um.. that would... You know... You didn't want to have anything major. You weren't even looking for a real friendship this summer, let alone a whole-ass relationship.

"Ah-huh!" Dylan explained as you heard the cupboard open and close. You turned your head and watched as he pulled out an old radio. "Now let's see if we can get this baby working."

"Even if you get it working... would you even be able to find a station from all the way out here?" You asked. You were sure that, back when the radio was more useful there were a lot more radio stations out there. However, now you weren't so hopeful.

"God I hope so," he said as he plugged the radio in, and started to fiddle around with it. You shook your head and set up the final things on the stove to cook, before heading over to wear the veggies were to cut them... Since Dylan abandoned that task.

As you went ahead to cut the veggies the static of the radio filled your ears. You didn't know if it was worse than having your thoughts speaking aloud when there was no sound. After a few more moments of having to listen to it... you definitely agreed that the static was way worse.

"There has to be a station, why have a radio if you can't use it?" Dylan pointed out. You hummed a response and finished cutting up the rest of the veggies. You used the knife to push them all into a big bowl.

Shortly after tossing the veggies together, music started to fill your ears. You looked over at Dylan who was pumping his fists into the air in celebration.

"Oh hell yeah! Let's get it,"

"Not exactly the best, but-" you chuckled lightly.

"But it's something," he finished your sentence. You nodded in agreement and went back over to the food that was on the stove.

"Oh shit, are you almost done? Fuck, I'm sorry. I've been no help whatsoever." He apologized and sent you a sincere smile. You shrugged your shoulders in response. It's not like you weren't used to working by yourself.

"It's okay, I'll just have you do the living heavy." You smiled gently towards him. You weren't exactly the strongest, considering all the heavy lifting you did was mostly in the summer... you didn't gain much muscle to be able to pick up pots full of food.

"Ah yes, with my spaghetti arms," he chuckled as he lifted up his arms. He then started to make his way over to you to help with said heavy lifting.

"Nah, you got some muscles," You pointed out as you combined the meatballs into the tomato sauce, having to stand on your tippy-toes. You heard Dylan laughing from behind you.

"I make do with what I have, and these pots are tall," You fought for your height.

"Whatever you say, y/l/n." He said as he leaned against the counter.

As you got the meatballs in, you checked the noodles by taking one out and trying it. As it was at a good texture you grabbed a huge colander and placed it into the sink. You looked at Dylan and tossed him some oven mitts to protect his hands from the hot pot.

"Alright, put those muscles into effect and dump the noodles out into the colander. And keep your face away from the steam, or you'll whine." You explained. He nodded and put on the fun crab-themed mitts that you begged Mr. H to get. You giggled lightly at his appearance.

"Hang on now," he pointed his clawed hand at you. You stiffed out a laugh and covered your mouth. He rolled his eyes playfully and went towards the pot.

He grabbed the pot full of steaming hot water and noodles and brought it over to the sink. You stepped away to give him some more room. You watched as he dropped every single last piece of noodle out into the colander.

"Once it's empty you can just put it in the other sink for now." You said to him while bringing a cart over to easily transport the noodles to the fridge. As he dumped the pot into the sink, he grabbed the colander full of noodles and placed it on the cart for you.

"Thank you," you said while taking it over to the fridge. You opened the doors and moved over some of the food already in it to make room for the noodles. Since Dylan didn't know what to do, he just watched you.

Your hair was pulled up into a messy bun. The light perfectly danced against the sun as you shined ever so lightly. A small red-tinted your cheeks still from before. He smiled gently at the sight of you.

Before you knew it, you and Dylan were taking all the food out into the main room of the lodge. The two of you put the food out and covered them to make sure they stayed warm. You felt the weight of perfection fall off your shoulders as you realized... you were done with lunch. For some reason, lunch always seemed to stress you out more than breakfast or dinner.

"Hey, take a breath, you did amazing like always," Dylan complimented as he placed his hand on your shoulder. You looked over at him and smiled softly.

"Thanks, Lenivy." You responded as you let out a much-needed breath. You looked out the window at the view and smiled. What you would do to spend time here without having to work. Dylan slowly but surely pulled his hand off you and stuffed them into his pockets.

"The view is amazing. Even after so many years, it somehow gets better with every year." He spoke from beside you.

"Yeah... It's so peaceful."

The doors to the lodge opened and the voices of many kids entered. You gave Dylan one last smile before going off and finding your group. A huge smile on your face as you got reunited with your favorites.

"Y/n!" Some of the kids yelled as they rushed over to you. They started to tell you about their day so far as you listened to every single one of them.

Dylan watched from afar. It felt as if he was back in camp six years ago. He felt his heart beat out of his chest as he heard someone ask to braid your hair. He knew who you were.

Koofteh Tabrizi

Because some people asked: my Koofteh Tabrizi (کوفته تبریزی, "meatballs from Tabriz") recipe. It doesn't have tomatoes unlike all the ones I found online, but the woman who wrote my cookbook, Neda Afrashi, is from Iran and says this is how her mom made them. Her book, "Die persische Küche: Der ganze Zauber des Orients", is GREAT, but I think it's only available in German. I have 3 Persian cookbooks but I use this one 99% of the time because it's The Best.

This takes a while to make and then it has to simmer for 80 minutes, so set aside enough time.

Ingredients:

80g yellow lentils (lapeh) Half a cup boiled rice (the recipe says one cup, I consider this madness! Also basmati is best.) 300g spring onions 2 Tablespoons barberries (zereshk) 5 Tablespoons fresh / 2 Ts dried tarragon 500g ground beef 1/2 teaspoon saffron, powdered (I use less, shit's expensive) 1 teaspoon dry mint (optional - I use the content of a teabag) 1-2 eggs 10 prunes (alu) 6 walnuts (it says 3 tablespoons in my cookbook) 2 onions 3 teaspoons turmeric Sumac (sumakh, optional) Salt, Pepper

I've added the Persian word for four ingredients in case you have to ask for them in an Iranian store where the seller only knows the Persian word. Has happened to me :) The barberries are hardest to get, Arabic and Turkish cuisine doesn't seem to appreciate them? If you don't have any Iranian style stores nearby, I guess you could replace the barberries with other sour berries like currant or unsweetened cranberries.

---

Also: Get/make whichever things you like of the following: Naan bread, grapes, pickles, radishes, yogurt, raw onions. Those are eaten with the meatballs. Get some of these! Otherwise it's like eating a burger with no lettuce, onions or tomatoes.

---

DO THIS TWO HOURS OR SO BEFORE YOU WANT TO COOK: Soak the lentils and rice for at least an hour (the recipe says handle them separately but I always put them together and I mean nothing bad has happened yet), wash them until the water is clear, boil them until they're al dente. Let them cool, then continue.

---

Crack the walnuts and break the edible stuff into (4-8 per nut) pieces. Put the walnuts, the prunes and the barberries (there might be little stones among them, so pick them out, also wash the berries) on a plate. If you're doing this for the first time, it's probably a good idea to cut the prunes in half, it makes them less unwieldy and your risk of the meatballs falling apart is somewhat smaller.

Cut the spring onions (only the white parts) into thin rings. Mix lentils, rice, ground meat, tarragon, saffron, spring onions, eggs, salt, pepper, mix them until you have a firm but not dry dough. Maybe only add one egg first, then the second if necessary. The dough should be firm, not too soft or sticky.

Cut the onions into little pieces, fry them in olive oil. Put mint on them, wait (a few seconds) until you smell it, stir, add turmeric, stir again, add a liter of water and bring it to a simmer.

Now to form the meatballs. This is the tricky part! Make half a meatball from a part of the meat dough, put a prune (or two pieces of prune if you cut them in half earlier), some of the barberries and walnuts in, and close it with more meat dough. My recipe says you should have a little bowl of water to keep your hands wet, that makes it easier. Personally, I never do this. It really depends on how sticky your dough is. What IS important is to fuss around with the ball after you closed it and make sure it stays closed. Kinda massage it into shape and press the meat edges together. It took me a lot of attempts until the balls would reliably NOT fall apart while I cooked them, so don't be discouraged if not all of them survive the cooking process.

Also, how big should the meatball be? They're a LOT bigger than the ones you usually see. Mine are actually smaller than the ones they make in Iran, according to the pictures I've seen online. But it's hard to give an ideal size. Big enough that the filling doesn't fall out, small enough that you get to the filling relatively quickly while eating. "A bit smaller than a tennis ball", Miss Afrashi tells us. I usually get 9 balls out of 500g (about a pound) of meat.

Here are the 6 that survived my cookie monster style eating frenzy yesterday evening. They're in my big soup pot!

Gently put the meatballs into the simmering water and let them simmer for about 80 minutes. That's EIGHTY MINUTES, so yeah start early. Persian cuisine loves to let stuff simmer for a long time, 80 minutes is actually relatively average, three hours isn't rare either. There should only be like half a liter of water in the pot at the end, you want sauce, not soup. So if there's too much water after an hour, take off the lid for the rest of the cooking time.

Once the meatballs are done, put them on a plate and put some sumac on them. This is optional but I recommend it. Sumac is sour and salty at the same time and it's really nice. Put the sauce in bowls or something, and serve with all the stuff I listed above. I have some of those "menu plates", it makes it easier to eat meals like this:

That's a different dish in the picture, but you get the idea. (Everything whose name starts with khorak (خوراک) you can eat like this.) Sorry the stove is oily, I took this picture to make my sister envious, not to post it on the internet lol.

So this is the epic recipe. This dish is quite something! It's a lot of work, but it's worth it.

warning: the following contains spoilers for pokémon scarlet/violet

today has been hectic, so i haven’t had the chance to update yet, sorry! i’m typing this out from someplace pretty sandy, on the hunt for our next titan! we’ve found a small cave to shelter ourselves from the sandstorm, so my boyfriend and i are just sort of sitting here, haha! anyway, here’s how today has been so far!

it started with a call from a… friend, or maybe just an associate of mine. i don’t know their name, and it’s pretty obvious they’re using a voice changer, so i have no clue who exactly cassiopeia is. i’m very certain that’s a code name of some sort. there’s a lot of things about what i have done that i’m not sure i can really talk about… but i trust my followers aren’t part of team star, so i can spill the beans!

me - and this familiar faced fellow here that i met - along with my boyfriend aether, cassiopeia, and at least one other person… are all part of a covert operation called operation starfall. our objective is to defeat team star by debasing its leaders, one by one, until their entire team crumbles. i’ve been pretty quiet about this, because until today, aether and i weren’t sure we should join cassiopeia’s cause. but things are different now.

we stumbled upon a team star base today. and cassiopeia - who i guess is somehow tracking us - alerted us of this, assuming we were joining. well, seeing our team star harassed that one uva student from before… our choice was clear. the base belonged to the schedar squad, a fire-type subdivision of team star that is camped out near artazon city. aether and i defeated the grunt by the gates with ease, and took six pokémon in, between the both of us. clive, also a fellow uva student, found a friend - charlos the charcadet, who lived on the grounds of uva itself. what is he doing way out here, anyway?

anyway, i took in meatball, gwaine, and my zangoose, zander. aether took his houndour (dabi), his buizel (leon), and his luxio (arisu). we absolutely ripped through the schedar squad’s pokémon, defeating at least sixty of our opponents. this was just what we were looking for. after we made enough noise, the leader of the schedar squad came out to meet us… mela.

despite her very intimidating demeanor and glare, mela seems very cool! her fashion sense is next level, and that gruff attitude of hers actually accentuates how cool she seems. somehow, i actually think i may have some gender envy looking at her! :0 anyway, she’s an absolutely terrifying opponent to face off against! meatball was actually able to turn the battle around when it was looking pretty scary!

maybe he wanted to make me proud since he couldn’t participate in the battle against brassius? either way, with most of my party defeated, he made a pretty good last stand against the schedar starmobile, a scarily amped up varoom (i think?). in the end, mela complimented our battling prowess, especially that of meatball, which made him jump for joy.

she even gave us TMs! both were for flame charge, which she promised was for meatball and dabi, and definitely not for us. if you’re reading this, mela, thank you! according to the tm machine at the pokémon center, meatball can’t actually learn it, so i’ll just keep it as a keepsake of our awesome battle! you’re really cool, and i hope we can battle again soon!

my boyfriend snapped this picture of us on his rotom phone after the battle! (wow, what a strong grip!) anyway, now that we have her leader badge, does that make us leaders of team star? i don’t think we really qualify! either way, we’re 1/5th of the way through with operation starfall! we’ve already declared war on you, team star, but here’s it written a bit more clearly: we will defeat you!

maybe you aren’t all bad. i think mela is good, deep down! and she thinks of you so fondly, you know? it’s nothing personal, but we have to defeat you. mela said something about an operation star… not operation starfall. what is it, i wonder? i didn’t want to pry, even though clive seemed to really want to.

and charlos tagged along! he and mela used to be friends back when she still attended uva, and it seems he hasn’t forgotten her so easily. charlos really wants mela to return to uva, but she says she can’t go back. it was heart wrenching to see, especially because you could tell she really cares for that little charcadet, too… she understands him so well. i’m certain a part of her wishes she could take him with her. :c this is getting a little long, so i’ll make another post!

#personal #pokemon #pokemon sv spoilers #pokemon scarlet/violet spoilers #pokemon scavio spoilers #paldea adventure saga #mela gives me gender envy!#shes soooo cool aaaa!#cherishes this TM so much

thanks for tagging me @oonajaeadira ❤️

Tag some mutuals you want to get to know better! Copy and paste into a new post--don't reblog please!

Favourite time of the year: Fall. My optimal ambient temperature is about 65 degrees. I love when it cools off enough that I am not a constant ball of sweat. I love when it's cool enough for hoodies and maybe needing an extra blanket at night. I also love the way the air smells when the leaves start to turn. Halloween! Crunchy leaves! My husband and I both have fall birthdays, so that's also nice.

Comfort food: Spaghetti and meatballs. Spaghetti sauce with meatballs is one of my favorite things to cook. I also put some Italian sausage in there.To do it right, you've got to cook it low and slow for hours. It makes the house smell sooooo good. The hubby and son are perfectly content with leftovers so I usually make a pretty big batch. And really, is there anything in life better than a nice pile of pasta drowning in sauce?

Favourite dessert: Pie. Pretty much any kind of pie. I learned how to make pies around the time I quit smoking. This was almost 20 years ago, but I remember everything just tasting amazing. It was a delicious mistake. I was the one who quit smoking but me and the hubby both gained weight. I mostly save them for the holidays now. I love a slice of warm from the oven apple pie with a scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream and maybe a bit of sharp cheddar cheese.

Things you collect: Rocks, fossils, bones, feathers and shells. I can't go anywhere in nature without coming home with a pocket full of rocks.

Favourite drink: Diet Dr. Pepper

Favourite musical artist: This is so hard. Right now I am going to call it a tie between Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and David Bowie.

Last song you listened to: Golden State-- Eddie Vedder & Natalie Maines

Last movie you watched: I haven't sat down and watched a movie in a while. Might have been a Prospect re-watch.

Last series you watched: The Sandman.

Series you’re currently watching: Crash Course Geography. It's a show on youtube. The episodes are only about 15 minutes a pop but I feel like I've learned more about geography from this show than I ever did in high school.

Current obsession: Pedro Pascal (obviously), The Sandman, especially The Corinthian. WTF. I did not need another hot villain in my life. Dominion, the card game. We've been teaching my son how to play. We've only got the first edition base game, but that has plenty of repeat play-ability on its own. My son is 8 and he regularly kicks the shit out of us at Dominion. He got the basic mechanics after like two hands and now he routinely clobbers us. It's interesting because he will do things that look like they should absolutely not work and then when it's time to count up the victory points he's absolutely kicked our asses. It makes me feel like I'm raising him right, or at least, that he is succeeding despite me.

Dream place to visit: Ireland, Scotland, Germany. These are places where my family has roots and I would like to see them first hand.

A place you’ve been that you want to go back to: Tokyo. Kenai, Alaska. Joshua Tree. Maui.

Something you want: For it to get cold enough to kill the mosquitos. I can't even hang out with my outside cat without turning into chuck steak. Also about 8 more hours in each day.

Currently working on: Halloween costume research. My son wants to be The Mandalorian (YAY!) He wanted to be Luke Skywalker and then he saw a pre-made Mandalorian costume at Sam's Club and he was like "If you don't think you can make one more realistic we can always buy this one." *cracks knuckles* are you challenging me little boy? He wants to be Mando, he's cast my husband as Cobb Vanth (hubs would make a fantastic Cobb Vanth) and he wants me to be Cara Dune. So I've got some work to do lol. Also I've been working on a Liminal AU fic and a Din Djarin x insecure!reader fic.

E and Pop are doing their best to hold in their laughter (at least on screen), giggling between each other as the filters change around until her mother shows up back on screen looking fairly normal. E moved the screen so both of them were clearly in view.

"There were go-" she readjusted her glasses and tried to focus on the screen. "Oh, I see you made the meatball dish and- wait. Rick, Richard, fix this again, there is some type of Halloween filter and I'm just looking at skel-"

"Mom."

For a moment, her mother looked almost offended at being cut off until she remembered Pop is a skeleton monster. "I AM- Excuse me, I am so sorry, there were all these filters and-" she held her hands up as if to stop herself. "It's very nice to meet you, Pop " she put an emphasis on his name, as if it were unfamiliar.

"Nice to finally see you!" Her dad quipped in, breaking the awkward moment. "But you see us, right?" He pointed at his eyes.

"DAD"

"I'm joking I'm joking, really it is nice to meet you. E's been mentioning you for a while so it's nice to see you in person! Well, not really a person but you know-" E made the motion to object but he quickly continued "- Anyway, I heard you live in the nearby district where she walks through to the bus station, what is it you do in town?"

Pop: nice to meet you (Es mums name. I’m assuming you told him their names beforehand) !!

He giggles

Pop: I wish I was as cool as a Halloween decoration! They always make the bones so perfect!

He grins at your dads question. He’s gotten that one a lot over his time on the surface

Pop: yep! (He pops the p) and i see in the dark too! Well not all the way, but better than most

The last question has him still smiling but not as wide

Pop: I work with my brother at his dance studio. He owns the school!

mila had just woken up for the morning when she saw flurries in front of their bedroom window. she smiled to herself before getting up to get ready for the day. she quickly went to the ensemble washroom to wash her face and teeth, before heading over to their closet to get changed. after that she sat down at her vanity when luke walked in, he came up behind her and they shared a kiss. "here you go, mi." he hummed, showing her a cup of coffee and she smiled taking it from him. "thankyou, lukey." she hummed, before setting it down on the vanity. "also, we've been given the day off because of the snow." he said pulling out his phone. "the snow? it was only some flurries." she said confused as she brushed her hair, while he shook his head.

"no, its been going all night. come see." he said and she followed him to the bedroom and looked out and saw how bad it was. "we get to spend the whole day together, uninterrupted." he said wrapping his hands from behind her and resting his chin on her shoulder. "oh really?" she hummed, "what should we do?" she teased and he scoffed. "oh, I've got plenty of ideas." he smirked before pressing a kiss to her shoulder.

❅

"this was not on agenda." he said she she placed a good amount of cookie dough in front of him. she grinned placing a kiss on his cheek, before going to her side of the counter and began to press into the dough. "what? can't make some cookies?" she hummed, looking up at him. he sighed, before beginning to roll it. "gonna prove me wrong?" she teased and he met her gaze, "don't you know it babe." he hummed. it was not long until the cookies were placed in the oven, and the two went to lay down on the couch for a bit.

she pulled out her book as he placed her feet on his chest to rub, as he watched some tv show. she read for about 30 minutes before she went to go check on them, and it wouldn't be long until they could take them out and then decorate. "almost?" he questioned opening his arms up for her, as she walked back into the tv room. she nodded, sitting down in his lap and consequently, his chest as well. they snuggled into one another.

"i dont know when the last time we had time like this, at least not during the season at least." she said quietly, and he nodded. "hmm." he responded, pressing a kiss to her head. "well, im definitely going to savor these moments then." he responded back and she grinned, before looking up at him and he connected their lips together.

the cookies were pulled out 15 minutes later, and then luke had to painstakingly wait another 20 minutes for them to cool, and then they could decorate. "ready?" she teased like he was a 5 year old. he nodded profusely, as she divided the frosting packets between them and then headed over to her side. they spent the next 25 minutes decorating and catching up on things over the past month.

before they knew it, it was time for luke's pre-game nap. despite there not being a game or practice. "come here." he whispered, as mila followed her longtime boyfriend into bed. "were missing one thing." she whispered as she rested her head on his chest. he looked down a bit concerned before she spoke again, "we're just missing a dog." she hummed smiling a bit. luke knew how much she wanted a dog, and he wanted one too. it was difficult with both of their schedules to raise one. "how about we revisit that topic in the spring?" he offered and she grinned looking up at him. "is that a yes?" she said quirking an eyebrow, and he smirked. "maybe." and she would take that.

❅

it was around 7 when mila pushed luke back in the kitchen, promising that he could have a cookie before dinner - if he helped. they made some simple pasta and turkey meatballs with veggies and bread. if there was one thing luke could cook with the back of his hand, it would be this. mainly because mila and his mother ellen had engrained it within him, and he was thankful for that.

they sat across from one another laughing and conversing freely.

"no but john did do that! he had no idea." mila confirmed, and they pretty much died of laughter at that point. at a recent team gathering, and some of the guys had drank a bit too much and john had been one of them. and while luke had left the room for a few minutes, john had been on one and luke couldn't believe it.

the two then cleared the table in silence for a few minutes, and then luke spoke up.

"thankyou for today this has been one of the best days in a long while." he said and her eyebrows crinkled, "you're kidding right?" she mused before sipping some wine. he shook his head, "no im being serious. just being with you and not having expectations or anything like that, and literally you just reading while laying with me, is enough." he said genuinely and she smiled softly. "im not kidding." he whispered, pulling in his close by wrapping his arms around her waist. she looked up at him, "thankgod for snow." she joked, and he grinned. "thankgod for snow." he repeated before kissing her deeply.

"how about we fulfill some of those 'activities' you had in mind earlier." she whispered, pulling away just a bit and giving him a wicked grin. "don't have to tell me twice." he said before throwing her over his shoulder, causing her to laugh loudly.

reuploaded with a diff person...anywho!

2023

2023 was a rough year bro.

I've always considered the "new year" to start on your birthday every year, not any specific month or day. I get why it's celebrated universally, but I reflect on my birthday and set my new resolutions around then.

Yesterday, I turned 25. I'm supposed to say "Which feels surreal" or something to that effect. I don't really feel that way. I look back every year and try to relive as much as I can in my head for about a week. Usually, it does feel like a year's worth of life happened to me.

I've been struggling this year. The last fractures of innocence have been swept away by a career that I feel I should have loved, leaving me only with a lot of resentment towards things I can't change or influence.

I can't really think of a time when food didn't mean so much to me, so it seemed like a no-brainer that I would start at restaurants, and life would be pretty easy for me there.

I was partially right, I guess.

Almost a decade in the game has shown me that the keyword in the Food Industry isn't actually food, and that's crushing to me. I know now why some people choose to not monetize their talent. I have plenty of other skills I would much prefer to whore out, and sell for a cheap buck (frankly, considering actually whoring).

But kitchen work is so unbelievably personal that I can barely tolerate waking up to fight morning traffic for something so repulsive to me.

I have spent so much of my life honing my skills to be able to create the /exact/ flavours I desire to paint upon the palate. It's disgraceful and shameful to be told not to create what I wish because "that's not in the recipe".

I have more thoughts on this that I will save for it's own post, but I need to wrap this up.

It's easy to get wrapped in your own head and create fiction and fancy. Like a snap, you can go from tripping over your roommate's shoes in the morning on your way out of the house, stewing on that as your first thoughts for the day while simping away your labour for someone who's about to come to yell at you for only getting half yield out of the lettuce because the produce he bought was infested with weevils, and then finally coming home just to trip upon the same pair of shoes on your way back in. Or, at least, it's easy for me.

I've had some huge revelations over this year about my mental health. I'm not really ready to talk about it much yet, but having to relearn how to live, treat yourself, and communicate with others is hard work. I would rather form 1000 meatballs daily, personally. Regardless, I am making that work happen and it has come with some really good outcomes.

I have a good social group. It's rare when everything lines up and we can all hang out together, but when we do, those are the days I live for. More often, smaller subsets of us can meet up more frequently and just getting to get out of the kitchen and see friends is huge. We had to move this year, but I'm actually pretty stoked with the area we ended up in (if not the actual apartment). My brother found a cool walking trail. We live next to a nice bakery. There are far less sirens and screaming in the middle of the night! It's great!

It's kind of just a rambling post, but I'm still trying to get my feet under me and recapture my writing style. But if you made it to the end, thanks. I appreciate you reading this.

The Mammoth Meatball is driving me mad.

I was just chilling, making Lemonade when I found out about this shit and now after I aggressively researched it I give you what I found out, enjoy my rambling:

The Austrailian company behind this soft ball sized mostrosity is called Vow -which now I'm thinking about is the equivilant of a company dad joke- and they have 65 people who work for them and will have to answer to me when I ever get my hands on them. They. Grow. Meat. Which I will get back to, but not right the fuck now!

Vow made a Meatball recently from said lab grown meat. But with Mammoth DNA. Because all scientists choose to be maniacs and I respect that, but this is a company dedicated to making edible yummy meat in a lab. And not a single fucking soul even tasted it.

No. They donated it. TO A MUSEUM - WHAT?! that will spoil. Are you gonna give them a new one each week? Is it frozen? THis raises so many questions--

And that isnt the most confusing or annoying part. nonononoNO

They put a fork and a knife next to a stone plate on which is the Meatball! WHich is food! Served with Sauce! AnD Ya CaNT EAT IT???? What. in. the. flippity. flip. flop. fuck.

NOW I get that the myoglobin, aka the reason red meat tastes meaty, created from DNA of a mammoth combined with african elephant to fill in the gaps maybe- maybeee isn't safe to consume, but it is their goal... to make food? Without harming animals, which they did here!

They can do it! Even with safety approval! Vow did that! They made "cultured japanese quail dumplings" for a food tasting. It was their first pr project, this is the second. They replicated the birds meat with their magic powerpuff logic and it worked! But they can't get this approved? WHY!?

I wanna know how the fluffy elephant tastes like! Why are there utensils if you arent gonna use them?! Why do they talk about eating the damn thing when they are not??

Why did you make it into a big ass meatball

if ya can't eat it?

I WANT ANSWERS! because, i get it, it might hurt us bla bla bla YOU ALREADY MADE DUMPLINGS WE CAN EAAAT -which you dont (???) say much about on your own website?? But rather make me scouer the internet for a news article. im so angy. Also if they, I'm sure very nice people, donated it to a museum in Sweden it would at least be funny! And not confuse the last living fuck outa me.

A short intermission: Now to calm down let me tell you something rather cool about Vow: They are trying to make affordable food without killing the planet. They have found a far more sustainable alternative and are working on it to make it functional! Of course magic science meat sounds kinda scary and could be bad if done wrong, so it'll take some time, but still neat!

They also have a mysterious third thing on their website that is "coming soon" which is insane. Sadly it isn't a picture the Breath of the Wild inedible food. Just a blurry menu. I do wonder what it could be though and if they will disappoint me again. If no one gets to eat it what's the point. No one will ever know. Of course People have eaten mammoth, specifically in the 1900 when they found well preserved carcases of them frozen in the ice and then oviously hosted a dinner party to eat it. It's apparently: "Acceptable." Thanks. Very helpful. It is probably very chewy though, based on discriptions of elephant meat. Yet i find thousand year old frozen mammoth does probably taste hella different from lab grown Mr. Snuffleupagus.

Conclusion: This meatball thing is utterly ridiclious! Dont make food if you don't let me eat it. It's rude. I wanna eat the meatball so badly. It looks amazing and soft yet full of flavor and as a goblin I truly need to eat this dumb thing smart people made. I wanna see if i can eat it in one bite. >:( Also if you claim and I quote: "Could this prehistoric creature also become a beacon of hope - introducing the mammoth meatball" and don't let anyone eat it is practically a crime. But since I can't change this and simply have to wait for it to be approved for consumption and then inevidibly cry when it's too expensive for me I will leave you with another quote from the people who brought you "The Mammoth Meatball" and then forbade you from eating it:

"Our obsession is inventing meat products..."

Good day, creatures of the night

#mammoth #mammoth meatball #rambles #ramblings #meatballs #I really wanna eat it.#also ya all get the joke?#they made a vow to invent that meat #i never said its a good joke #imightbestupidbutidontcare

Halal Recipe For Birthday Party

A birthday party is an occasion that kids always like the most. If your children enjoy non-vegetarian cuisine, consider halal recipes. Your child's birthday celebration should include something wholesome. When your children can't stop talking about the people they want to invite to the party and you want to put something tasty on the kids' table, being a working mom might be stressful. In this blog, we have mentioned some tips for a halal recipe for your kids.

Let’s read it out:

Beef and Mushroom Pie

Add onion, garlic, mushrooms, and celery to the oil heating in a large frying pan, along with a dash of salt. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until softened. It should be taken out of the pan and put aside.

Add the beef mince after lightly misting the pan with oil. On medium-high heat, cook the beef until it is browned. Re-add the vegetables to the pan and mix in the flour until well combined.

Tinted tomatoes, stock, and rosemary are all added. Turn down the heat and gently simmer for five minutes after bringing it to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat source and let it cool fully. You can make these preparations hours or even days before you want to make the pies.

The oven should be preheated to 200 °C or 180 °C fan-forced. 5 ramekins (112 cup capacity) should be oiled.

The first ramekin should be lined with a filo pastry sheet that has been divided into fourths. Between layers, lightly mist with oil. Continue with the remaining ramekins.

Fold any excess filo from the sides over before dividing the beef mixture among the ramekins. Oil the last of the filo sheets, then scrunch them into a loose ball. Put one atop each pie and lightly press down to make sure it's in place.

Until golden brown, bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the oven. After removing it from the oven, let the food rest for a few minutes before serving it with your favourite sauce, salad, or vegetables.

Zucchini Bread

Set the oven's temperature to 175 C (350 F) and generously butter or oil two loaf pans.

Using a mixer, beat the eggs and sugar in a large basin until the mixture is thick and light in colour, about 4-5 minutes. While the mixer is running, slowly add the oil, then incorporate the vanilla. Using a grater with big holes, grate the zucchini and then incorporate it into the egg mixture.

In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gently but thoroughly fold the flour mixture into the egg-sugar bowl. Add the raisins and nuts after that.

Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared loaf pans, and bake the loaves in the centre of the oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until golden brown. To check whether the loaves are cooked through, use a toothpick or skewer.

The loaves should cool for 10 minutes in the pans before being taken out and allowed to cool for at least 30 minutes on a wire rack before slicing.

Make the sauce

We're going to need some adult assistance. One tablespoon of olive oil is heated in a big saucepan. Cook for 5 minutes after adding the onion and peppers. Add three 400g cans of chopped tomatoes to the mixture. For a smoother outcome, enlist the child's assistance in chopping up the tomato with a spatula or hand blender. Gently boil the sauce while you prepare the meatballs. (For something hotter, you may put a chili here too.)

Conclusion

These are some recipes for your child's birthday party. Hope they will enjoy the meal with their friends, and you will impress your family member. Rather, if you are looking for a Halal food delivery box, we can be a great choice for you. Remember all of the suggestions the kids made in step one? Try to keep the menu as kid-friendly as you can. Use them to your advantage here. When you've settled on your meals, grab some of our freshest and have fun setting up your table. Don't pass up on these cupcake wraps since they will make your dessert table feel festive. Everyone will love it.
