The Main Cast + Minor Cast together for my little concept "Happy Asian Market" 🛒🦀💛

For those who are new, it's about Hughie, an ex-gangster, stumbling upon a job at an Asian supermarket that includes beating up demons with Buddhist magic. Right up the lug's alley!

Had time to cook so I made:

Pita breads

Jerusalem hummus (which is homemade hummus with garlic fried ground beef crumbles on top, you pour the beef over the hummus while it’s hot and scoop it up with the pita)

Twice-cooked eggplant, which is so elegantly simple I NEED to write up the recipe and share it, it’s maybe the best eggplant I’ve ever had (sorry, south indian eggplant curry I still love you) and only has a total of like 8 ingredients.

unfortunately I set off the fire alarm while cooking and could NOT get it to shut off for like an hour and cut my hand trying to disengage it :(. eventually maintenence had to come take the whole unit away because it would not shut up. so idk, you win some, you lose some. I also passed an exam worth 25% of my grade today so,,... can’t complain even though I am brain-meltingly tired. I did no homework today (see above, gigantic cooking project) but I feel like that’s ok and I’ll do some tomorrow.

On Saturday I went to two of my summertime go-to cookbooks, Zahav  and Israeli Soul by Michael Solomonov. Diving into a bowl of hummus with lamb meatballs that were simmered in a pomegranate-tomato sauce was the best remedy after a bit of a stressful day. The mango version of Israeli salad is a great option while we wait for the tomatoes to get really good, and the mangoes I’ve been finding at the store lately have been bonkers-good.

This genocide never has been about the hostages, never will be about the hostages.

Mind you, the IDF shot and killed three hostages today. (They spoke Hebrew and held up a white flag in surrender btw).

If you still think this is about the hostages you are gravely mistaken and your ignorance is profound. 🇵🇸

Mid-December 2023: while the population in world's largest concentration camp is still being massacred by the world's most moral army, before the lifeless bodies of the murdered Palestinian children have turned cold, real estate firm Harey Zahav, a leading company in building illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, has announced plans to build luxury seaside residences over Gaza's rubble:

“!תתעוררו, בית על החוף זה לא חלום” (“Wake up, a house on the beach is not a dream!”)

“!עכשיו במחירי פריסייל” (“Now at presale prices!”)

The Israeli police released an amazing version of "Yerushalayim shel Zahav" for Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day). Enjoy!!!

Where Israeli & German Far Right meet over Gaza's dead bodies:

Yad2’s willingness to host Harey Zahav and companies doing business in West Bank settlements speaks to acceptance of radical politics in Israel. “It’s an apartheid culture,” he said. “Nearly everything here is accepted these days.”

the idea that i meditated on as i took my walk today is, in fact, the confluence of two statements:

1) Turn it, and turn it, for everything is in it (everything is Torah), Pirkei Avot 5:22

and

2) the Torah is longer in heaven (that’s to say that it is with us) , Devarim 30:12

What is my Torah? What lessons have I learned from Moishe Rabbeinu and what lessons can I give others? It is important never to stop learning, and to always be mindful and compassionate of other’s learning. You can always learn something from someone, even if it is not immediately clear.

There's a woman at work who says my name again and again, a woman who calls me my life, and 2 who have told me they love me 😭 they each have their own struggles with communication or their own special needs so this means a lot

I had grand plans two weeks ago to make some shishlik-style ground lamb meatballs with pistachio tahini sauce, but the ground lamb I wanted was sold out so I opted for some ground venison instead. Knowing that this was leaner, I added in some milk-soaked bits of sourdough bread to keep the meat from drying out, and I made sure to keep an eye on the convection oven to make sure they didn’t overcook.

Overall, I was pretty happy about the recipe, but I really want to make this again with lamb meatballs to see how they taste by comparison.
