There’s already been endless wars waged against fat and carbs. I’m just waiting for protein’s turn to be demonized for no reason.

Hey everyone!! I just wanted to thank you all for participating in my soupcore month of soups last month! It was a pleasure answering all of your soup questions. I unfortunately wasn’t able to get to all of them, so sorry! They were all wonderful though and it means so much that you participated.

Here are all of the soup rats in their glory!! People have asked about stickers and prints. Because of tariffs I’m holding off on stickers for now but you can get prints on my inprnt. I ordered copies for myself to test the quality and I am quite pleased! Thanks again! This project was a ton of work but I’m so happy the soup rats now exist in the world 💖🥫🐀

Prints✨

i wanna be so clear that i am responding 100% in good spirits and without a lick of ill will. and not adding this discussion to the original post because I just want to respond to an interesting comment without making it a Public Spectacle or anything. read this as though we are in the library sharing facts we're excited about.

@jane-vampeyre reblogged beans post with these tags:

#hey I wanna make a quick note that these people weren’t ancient!#they were way more recent than you’d think!#it’s really easy to fall into the idea that they were ancient bc history tends to blend when you’re not looking#the Incan empire ended in the 1570s#that’s recent!!!#that’s Elizabethan!!#and saying they’re ‘ancient’ helps to reinforce the idea that these people are all extinct#and they’re not!#kept this in the notes bc this is supposed to be a cute/sweet post and I’m being an Anthropologist about it

you're absolutely correct that the people we think of in the historical Americas are not as ancient as we think, and that's so important to remember!! however I want to point out that the common bean (which makes up the majority of the widely-eaten modern bean cultivars) was domesticated, at minimum, around 4,000 years ago (~2500–2000 BCE)! and potatoes were domesticated 7,000–10,000 ago (!!!) – which means strictly speaking potatoes are actually a prehistoric agricultural achievement, not ancient! :) I used "ancient" in the post just to mean "really old" but if I'd done more in-depth research first I would've been more pedantic LOL

I'm not an expert by any means, I just think it's so cool to think about people ten thousand years ago doing agricultural science with results that have not only lasted but become staple crops SO far beyond the region of origin!

Sohla El-Waylly’s Easy Chana Masala

(slightly modified)

(I added 1 tbsp ghee)

1 can full fat coconut milk

1 tbsp ground coriander

1 tbsp onion powder

1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp turmeric

(I added 1 tsp homemade garam masala)  

3 tbsp double concentrated tomato paste (but it’s even better with 1 cup of cherry tomatoes instead!)

1 can drained chickpeas

2 cups frozen kale or spinach

Salt to taste

Fry spices and tomato paste in the ghee and the fat from the top of the coconut milk, until fragrant.

Add chickpeas, kale, and the rest of the coconut milk. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.

Squeeze of lemon juice at the end if you’ve got it

Plus my one and only true love recipe for basmati rice

Jesus Christ I have JUST realized that women use FTM to mean full time mom on the app I use to find recipes. I was like WHY ARE SO MANY TRANS PEOPLE MAKING MEDIOCRE PASTA DISHES!?
