#oregano seasoning online

[kcrossvine-art]

hi birds of paradise and of prey! I sincerely hope your 2024 has been kind to you so far, and if it hasn't, I hope it starts being fucking nicer soon. We got eyes on it and are ready to take it out should it fail.

I'm coming to the end of my list here soon, so if anyone has ideas on what they'd like to see next, please do hit me up! Even if its just a piece of media with interesting food in it and not a specific dish you wanna see. My roommate got me a recipe book from that TikTok fantasy tavern guy, "recipes from the lucky gryphon"? So we could also take a shot at a few of those, although im not really familiar with his work. Regardless-

We will be making Stuffed Cabbage from Lord of the Rings Online today!

(As always you can find the cooking instructions and full ingredient list under the break-)

MY NAMES CROSS NOW LETS COOK LIKE ANIMALS

SO, “what goes in to this Stuffed Cabbage?” YOU MIGHT ASKYou cant kinda put whatever you want for seasonings and even the meat filling. I used ground beef but pork and lamb are also stellar candidates.

Yellow onion

Garlic

2 eggs

Ground beef

Rice

A head of cabbage

Oregano

Thyme

Red pepper flakes

Cumin

Crushed tomato

Tomato sauce

AND, “what does this Stuffed Cabbage taste like?” YOU MIGHT ASKBa bawsa

Very, very filling wow

2 rolls filled me up for a meal and i made about 20-ish from one head of cabage

A bit plain tbh, the texture is great but I'd really double up on the seasonings

A blank canvas for you to impart your spice preferences onto

Reheating makes it taste almost identical to fresh

Would pair well with a hot sauce dip

could also go well with an artichoke dip

If you run out of room and need to layer the rolls, I'd try experimenting with pouring some of the crushed tomato and sauce inbetween the stacked rolls. Otherwise the ones at the bottom lack a lot of the tomato flavor. However it might make the bottoms on the rolls laying ontop soggy?

. Where rice called for, used long grain white rice

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've never blanched anything before. Theres not much western food that calls for it, meanwhile whenever my friend from malaysia shows a dish they ate, 9 times out of 10 the vegetables are blanched. Much easier process than the fancy name might suggest- boil water and dunk the thing in until its done. Whatever 'done' may be for the thing you are cooking.

Also for the ground beef (or whichever meat you use) you don't have to cook it beforehand, but in doing two tries at making these cabbage rolls i would recommend you at least season your meat before mixing it with everything else. The meat will cook to a safe temperature inside the cabbage rolls, i just prefer the taste and texture of it when cooked twice.

I give this recipe a meandering 7/10 (with 1 being food that makes one physically sick and 10 being food that gives one a lust for life again.) I want to review more horrible recipes, truly i do, so that the rating scale isnt always a 6 and above, but whenever i try something horrible its like "why the fuck would i put all the effort into making and sharing a review of this thing i Do Not Want others to eat????" yknow?? Would people be interested in roasting horrible recipes? 

🐁 ORIGINAL RESIPPY TEXT BELOW 🐁

Ingredients:

1 yellow onion

6 cloves of garlic

2 eggs

2 lbs ground beef

1 1/2 cup cooked rice

1 large head of cabbage

28oz crushed tomato

14oz tomato sauce

Oregano

Thyme

Red pepper flakes

Cumin

Salt/pepper

Method:

Saute garlic and onion in butter over medium heat until onions are caramelized. When done, remove from heat and let cool.

Season the beef to your liking with cumin, red pepper, and salt. Very, very lightly cook the beef in the same pan used for the garlic and onions. Cook until it starts to brown, but dont let it darken. 

Beat eggs thoroughly with oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Add all of the above ingredients together in a bowl with (cooked!) rice. Mix thoroughly then cover and let rest in the fridge.

Core and blanche your cabbage in boiling water, peeling them off as they become limp.

Once you've separated all the leaves, cut off any thick stems that would prevent the leaf from folding.

Put roughly 2 tablespoons of meat filling into each leaf. Fold the sides of the leaf inwards and roll it up. Place each cabbage roll seam-down into a casserole dish.

If they don't all fit in one layer, its more than okay to stack. Try not to stack more than 2 layers though.

Once you've used all the cabbage, take your can of tomatos and pour them over the rolls. Mix some oregano into the tomato sauce and pour that over the rolls as well.

Bake uncovered in the oven at 350 for about 2 hours. Dont worry if a bit of tomato on top looks burnt.

IF REHEATING LEFTOVERS: Bake 10 cabbage rolls in the oven at 320 for about 40 minutes. Reduce time for less rolls.

Herb salts are super easy and they're both practical and pretty. I used rosemary, oregano, sage, and a bit of thyme in this batch, with rosemary as the dominant flavor. By using fresh herbs you let the liquids soak into the salt for a stronger flavor than you'd get just mixing dried herbs with spice. I'm not giving measurements because I don't really use them, though you can find recipes online with specific proportions. Really you just need enough salt to absorb this moisture and not dominate the herb flavors.

Take your herbs and rinse them clean , then pat them dry. Strip all the leaves off the stems and put them into a grinder. If you don't have a grinder, you could get the same effect by dicing really really tiny or by using a mortar and pestle, but really the grinder speeds things up a lot.

Grind the leaves of the herbs until they're finely chopped. Then add some salt. I use a coarse kosher salt, because it gets ground a bit finer in this process, and a chunky salt is great texture for most of the uses I'd have for this. If you're making it as popcorn seasoning though, a fine salt is better, and run the grinder extra long to make it super fine. For coarse salt, just pulse the grinder a bit to get things combined evenly.

Then everything gets spread out on parchment paper in a pan and put into the oven at 200 degrees for roughly half an hour, or until dry to touch. You could also just let it air dry like this for several days if you don't want to use the oven. Then just stick it into an airtight container to store! If you skip the oven drying stage you'll need to keep it in the fridge and use it within about a month, but if you dry it it's good for ages. The best flavor is in the first six months though.

(in regards to the za'atar post) from what i read online, za'atar is used for the oregano species i mention in my tags. i assume that since this oregano is the main herb used, its name was used for the blend too

yeah it does seem like the word za3atar refers to both a herb/plant and a culinary blend of herbs. but what precisely that herb is is still unclear... given my brief search outlined below, I think the both the translation as "thyme" and the image they used are fair, even though the image wasn't of thyme. also I wouldn't be surprised if various herbs are all called za3atar in various regions and dialects. or like how lettuce actually refers to a wide range of lettuces

the Arabic wikipedia article for زعتر [za3atar] is linked with the English article for "thyme". with an image of regular thyme. and the wiktionary entry for زعتر translates it as 1) zaatar or 2) wild thyme

but wiktionary for zaatar in English defines it as 1) "a particular herb" similar to thyme or oregano and 2) "a middle eastern seasoning having the herb as the main ingredient" (italics mine). neither of which specify precisely what 'the herb' is

the wikipedia article for oreganum syriacum is linked to the Arabic article مردقوش سوري [mardaquš suriy], literally Syrian marjoram

there is an article on Arabic wikipedia for صعتر بري, i.e. "wild [ṣa3atar]", which isn't quite za3atar but seems quite close, which links to the English article for thymus capitatus "more commonly known as conehead thyme, Persian hyssop and Spanish oregano"

also fun fact. in South African English we say oreganum not oregano. moreover I grew up pronouncing it with the stress on ore-GA-num or ore-GAY-num, which differentiates it even more from o-RE-gəno

[chronicas]

Okay just because this has been on my mind for weeks now. You should never have to choose between food and rent. One, if such a choice comes up, always choose rent, obviously. BUT if not being able to afford food is the problem, there are options. Sorry this post got so long it wasn’t meant to..

Apologies in advance I only know how this works in America, but it’s likely your country has something similar. What you’ve gotta do for this is go to your state government page and find your state’s food assistance program, SNAP, Food Stamps, whatever it is, find that and apply. You’ll probably get around $250 a month for a single household. If you’re low income, you should be eligible. If you’re on SSI/SSDI or Medicaid, you are almost certainly eligible. On top of that you gotta find a local food bank. They might ask you for your income, but they likely won’t bar you from their services if they’re a good food bank. This is a good place to get any kind of canned food and pasta, but good food banks will likely also have meat, eggs, and milk. A lot of food banks have even started delivering straight to your home. I’ve also worked with a lot of Churches to get food. I’m sure plenty of Synagogs and other religions orgs have similar programs, but it depends on how well funded they are.

Use any money you save from this for your fresh produce, but I recommend getting frozen vegetables as they have just as much nutrients as fresh produce would. I also recommend getting an instant pot or slow cooker if you can afford it. Thrift stores might have some that still work decently. I got my instant pot and my slow cooker second hand from family members so I got lucky, but if you can afford them they’re seriously a life saver.

My biggest recommendations of food to keep on hand is bread and stuff you like on sandwiches, always have eggs, always have rice, and always have some frozen vegetables. Invest in spices wherever you can, you can make a lot or really delicious meals that are super simple just by having some good seasonings. If you get on food assistance, spices are covered by that, basically everything consumable is except alcohol.

Spices I recommend to keep on hand: Sea Salt, Black Pepper, Basil, Thyme, Oregano, Ginger, Red Pepper, Garlic, Onion, any Umami/Mushroom Blend, Rosemary, Marjoram, Sage. That’s everything I use for 90% of my meals.

Also grow your own food! Mainly herbs! The easiest one to start with is green onions, you can buy some from the store, put the bottoms in a small cup with just enough water to reach the roots, let the roots grow a bit then put them in soil after about a week. Basil, thyme, parsley, and rosemary are my other favorites to grow. You can get a devoted pair of kitchen scissors to just cut your herbs directly into whatever you’re cooking! If you have enough space and time on your hands I really recommend growing tomatoes and bell peppers!! Feel free to ask me about gardening!

My Favorite Easy Meals:

Spaghetti with meat sauce: Get canned tomato sauce and diced tomatoes, mix those in a pan and add as many spices as you want until you like the flavor, you can look online for common spaghetti sauce seasonings. Get some ground beef (btw meat can be frozen indefinitely) and cook that up then throw it in your sauce. Cook noodles while you’re doing that, the whole process shouldn’t take more than an hour if you have an extra pair of hands, hour and a half if you’re by yourself at max.

Teriyaki Chicken: Easiest thing ever, just buy some chicken strips and some teriyaki sauce, marinate that shit then pop it in the oven for like around 20min or until it’s cooked to 165°F.

Egg Fried Rice: One of my favorite easy meals. Pop the (WASHED!!) rice in an instant pot or rice cooker (if you don’t have either a pot with a lid will work fine!), toss in about a tablespoon of mirin in with your rice then let it do it’s thing following instructions. About 15min before your rice is done throw some frozen vegetables in a pan (whatever kind of vegetables you like!! It really doesn’t matter!) cook those a little, put em aside in a bowl. Then take some eggs, scramble em in the same pan, put aside. Throw your cooked rice in the pan then add soy sauce, red pepper, umami blend, and any other spices you’d like (but no salt! There’s plenty of sodium in the soy sauce!).Then add your ingredients you put to the side. If you add enough eggs or are just tired, this can be it’s own meal! Or you can have it as a side with teriyaki chicken or anything else you think it’d taste good with!

Ramen: Get a bunch of packs of cheap ramen noodles but don’t use the soup packet. Make your own soup with any kind of broth (chicken or seafood works best, but just pick a favorite), add a tablespoon of soy sauce to a cup of broth, a teaspoon of mirin to cup of broth, some minced ginger (or powered) to taste, any spices you want (I like to add the mushroom blends and some seaweed flakes), cook the noodles for the recommended time in the broth then add an egg cooked in any style you want. You can get fancy with a soft boiled egg, but those take a while to learn to get right. I normally fry my eggs. And if you have any ham or beef strips those also go good with it! Top it with green onions! Takes about 45 minutes roughly.

Omelet: Whisk some eggs in a cup and add some spices (and fresh green onions if you want!), throw it in a pan, add any cheese, meat, or veggies you like on it (I like cheddar, bell peppers, and bacon in mine) then wait for it to cook on one side then fold it in half, after it’s cooked on one of the half sides, flip it over to get the other side, you can stab it in the middle to see if it’s fully cooked in the center. Takes less than 20 minutes.

Buttered Potatoes: You can get some small potatoes, cut em up, throw them in an oven-safe dish with some butter (1/4-1/2 a stick depending on how many potatoes you’re making), salt, rosemary, and black pepper. Cook them in the oven on like 350°F for about 25-30min. You can use this as a side with any kind of meat or anything else you feel it’d go good with! Sometimes it just makes a good snack as leftovers.

Things you can cook up and add to other stuff: cook a bunch of bacon and you can crumble it into stuff like omelets, mac ‘n cheese, salads!

Feel free to ask me for cooking advice! It’s one of my favorite things to do and there’s a good chance I can help you figure out how to make something. I’m happy to help talk to you about dietary restrictions and substitutes also!

I do all this and never spend a penny from my paycheck on my food! Good food is obtainable! Look online for more recipes or try and use some of these methods to enhance a simple recipe you already know!

And remember to fight to keep food assistance programs open and available! It’s an insanely valuable resource for folks in poverty! If your local government acts against these programs, speak up against them! If you can, please donate to your food bank and ask them what kind of food they need. Volunteer with them also if you can!

[meaningtotellyou]

Moving advice- Craigslist hilariously and also Facebook marketplace! Start looking at things now you need to get like a couch etc. and start liking those things to train your algorithm on Facebook. Especially anything that looks likes something you would ultimately want to buy or has the search phrase etc. rich people get rid of great quality shit for free even all the time take advantage! For training your algorithm you can also just open up the distance parameters to the whole country just so it starts picking up good stuff. That way when you’re ready to buy you find something good. And don’t rush into buying stuff because you feel you need to have a couch or chair or side tables to feel independent or adult etc. wait and buy pieces you really like ans would want to keep. They’ll come to you. Also hit up good will or other thrifts or estate sales, yard sales, and even local online auctions for especially kitchen stuff, dishes and cups etc. so many people need to clean out their parents homes when they pass and get rid of normal every day stuff we use but would be so expensive to buy new. Online auctions that are local can be an amazing resource for that too. You can use liveauctioneers and search locally. You can get really great quality furniture that isn’t worth it to people to pay to ship but you’re local you can just go pick up. I got two custom designer benches once for $10 total at a place I only had to drive twenty minutes to to pick up. Or if in all your searching you find something you love that’s not local try uship to see how much it would cost to ship. It ends up being more affordable than you think . And meal prep. Batch cook things. I love to roast a pan of vetables weekly and make a protein that I can add things to during the week. So like simply seasoning chicken with just salt pepper garlic and onion powder and then like oregano or Italian seasoning well I can use that in pretty much any recipe. Can add paprika cumin etc make it into Mexican whatever. Or can just add it to a salad. Pick a day you have off and just get into a routine of spending an hour or two in the kitchen where you prep things for the week even if it’s whole meals you then put in fridge or even freeze. Make multiples of things you can freezer and have later. Especially they’re annoying to make lol. It feels like a lot of time at first but you make it fun. Put on a show or podcast and it saves you so much time during the week and also mental energy! Also ends up saving so much energy when you have already prepared food at home

AHHH thank you bestie!! i was already ready to shop on Facebook and Craigslist and thrift for furniture too! luckily i have a few items (tables and stands) from the apartment i can start out with so im bit totally bare bones moving

Growth

I made Christmas lunch (does anyone actually do dinner? I have never done a dinner) for my in-laws. This has become a regular thing: they don’t cook and before I married into the family they would get food from Boston Market for Thanksgiving and Honeybaked Ham for Christmas.

The thing is, I wasn’t like always a good cook.

My parents did set out to make sure my brother and I were capable, competent adults by the time we reached adulthood. They taught us to clean, to do laundry, how to pay bills and do taxes, how to do car repair and household chores. And, yes, we learned basic cooking. We could make simple stuff and follow a recipe, and when I got my own place my parents gave me some cookware (not enough, but it was a start).

Yet, my mother was not a great cook. And my grandmother was of the generation which discovered cake mixes and the like. Cooking from scratch was a rare and novel experience in our house. Fresh herbs were never seen, and even the dried ones were sort of cabinet decoration.

My first steady girlfriend - whom I lived with for several years after college - was a much more involved cook. There was stuff she liked making, and she did it well. She taught me about Farmers’ Markets and growing your own herbs, and grinding things right before using them. I want to say I learned a lot from her, but... well, I learned some, but mostly I let her run the kitchen and followed her instructions.

After I broke up with her and moved away, I realized I missed having good food. But I also knew there was nothing really stopping me, I simply wasn’t in the habit of making it myself.

So, I started trying to make better food. It was pretty simple at first. Just things like adding more herbs to the DiGiorno pizzas before putting them in the oven. Making things from the Betty Crocker cookbook. Actually cracking open the Joy of Cooking.

I don’t exactly recall when I decided to go to a Farmers’ Market on my own, but I became a regular. I even got to know some of the vendors. I picked up other - and stranger - cookbooks. Talking with people online, comparing notes - turned out there were a lot of people in my age range who were just learning to really cook.

(I think a lot of it is, we were taught recipes like magic spells which work for no understandable reason; we weren’t really taught as techniques and ideas which we can modify, with an understanding of how they work)

So now I can put out a full traditional Thanksgiving dinner, or I can do something more unusual like kamchubari, akara, and kush, because doing the same thing over and over is boring.

But what I want to be clear about is, fifteen years ago I was sprinkling dried oregano on a frozen pizza. And that’s okay. You start with what you can do. The most important ingredient is interest. It’s not even passion or love. It’s just giving a damn about what you’re doing and caring about the result. If you’ve got that, you can improve.

Remember, though: it took me 15 years to get to where I am now. I’m told it takes 11 years to really master something, and that sounds about right really, if you have the time and resources to work on it. You’re not going to become an incredible cook overnight.You may never become an incredible cook, if you can’t spend hours on making the perfect tomato sauce, or you can’t afford to go to the Farmers’ Market and get fresh strawberries when they’re in season (or be able to afford to sacrifice a quart of them to the gods of “turns out that online recipe is actually awful and food bloggers suck).

That’s all okay. The most important part - and this is true with anything you try - is interest.

enchilada followup! honestly have no idea why i sent that on anon. i didnt realize you were (i gather) in asia when i sent recipe. i literally just had a friend visit from malaysia and the one thing she was desperate for was mexican food lol.

i imagine you can buy most things from specialty places online but if thats hard or expensive, substitute local peppers and you can make a fine version of the sauce linked in recipe. good luck with tortillas, they actually arent hard to make in a pinch, but thats probably the limiting factor. i actually dont hate enchiladas with flour tortillas but thats a very controversial opinion.

for a seasoning that will make your filling meat taste mexican, the main things are going to be cumin (essential), dried oregano (pretty important but better not to have it than sub other herbs), garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder (whatever red pepper powder you like is fine). all of which should be reasonably findable.

i'm so invested in this project now, good luck!

thank you!! wait that's like literally me when I go to usa hell i even went to taco bell once also as half-malaysian i never found a good mexican place when i was there

sadly i will probably use store bought tortillas😔but thanks for letting me know about the spices bc i don't know the exact spices for cheese there are tex-mex selling so I will probably use that😔wish cheese isn't so expensive here

The Great Herb Debacle: Basil Blunders and Cilantro Catastrophes

Yo, plant peeps! Gather 'round the virtual campfire for Maya and Ben, your friendly neighborhood herb enthusiasts (or should I say "enthusiastic wannabe herb enthusiasts"), who are here to spill the tea (or should I say the pesto?) on their hilarious journey from seed packets to...well, something vaguely green that vaguely resembled a herb garden.

It all started with a Pinterest-fueled dream of a windowsill bursting with fragrant basil, zesty cilantro, and peppery arugula. Armed with zero experience and an abundance of naivety, they dove headfirst into the world of urban gardening, convinced they were basically plant whisperers. Spoiler alert: they were not.

Their first epic fail involved treating all herbs like, well, herbs. Basil, a sun-worshipper, shivered under the shade of a dill monster who, in turn, stretched desperately for the nonexistent afternoon sun. Their windowsill resembled a botanical Hunger Games, with parsley clinging to life in the dill's shadow, almost all herb seeds, and the newly emerging seedlings drowning in Maya's overenthusiastic watering. Let's just say their first attempt at pesto involved mostly tears and existential dread.

Next came the "tough love" approach. Ben, determined to raise Spartan herbs, neglected his basil until it resembled a sun-scorched tumbleweed. Maya, meanwhile, went full-on helicopter parent with her mint, creating a fragrant, yet wildly invasive jungle that threatened to take over their entire apartment. (RIP, dreams of peaceful coexistence with their feline overlord.)

But amidst the crispy leaves and soggy soil, something magical happened. They started learning. They consulted seasoned gardeners, devoured online blogs, and even bribed their slightly bemused neighbor (Mrs. Henderson, the queen of green thumbs) with baked goods in exchange for wisdom. Slowly, their little herb jungle began to transform. Basil leaves unfurled with newfound vigor, oregano seedlings peeked through their damp soil, and cilantro sprouted with the enthusiasm of a toddler on a sugar rush.

Their journey wasn't exactly smooth sailing. They accidentally planted mint directly in the ground (cue world domination by the minty overlords), mistook thyme for rosemary (their pizza tasted...interesting), and learned the hard way that catnip is indeed catnip (goodbye, dreams of calming kitty cuddles).

But with each mishap, they laughed, learned, and most importantly, grew (both figuratively and literally). Their windowsill now boasts a thriving herb garden, a testament to their resilience and newfound knowledge. They may not have started with green thumbs, but through trial, error, and a whole lot of humor, they cultivated something far more valuable: a love for growing, a respect for nature's rhythm, and a kitchen cabinet bursting with the vibrant flavors of their own little urban oasis. And who knows, maybe next year they'll be brave enough to tackle Mrs. Henderson's infamous habanero peppers... but that, as they say, is a story for another post. ️

So, plant peeps, learn from our mistakes (and maybe a few of our successes)! Embrace the mess, cherish the mishaps, and most importantly, have fun on your own herb-tastic adventure! ✨

Za'atar Spice: Unveiling Its Rich Origins and Flavorful Blend

Are you ready to embark on a flavorful journey through the aromatic world of Za’atar? This cherished Middle Eastern spice blend isn’t just a seasoning; it’s a cultural emblem deeply rooted in history and cherished for its distinctive taste. Join me as we uncover the origins, ingredients, and culinary uses of this beloved spice mixture, available for you to buy Za’atar and bring its magic into your kitchen.

Origins of Za’atar

Za’atar holds a special place in the hearts and kitchens of the Middle East. Its name refers to both a specific herb (Origanum syriacum) known as “za’atar” and the spice blend created from it. Historically, za’atar has been utilized for centuries, traced back to ancient Egypt and referenced in various texts for its culinary and medicinal properties. Now, you can buy Za’atar mix online or from specialty spice stores, offering the convenience of exploring this tradition from your home.

The exact blend and proportions of za’atar can vary regionally and even among families, making it a versatile seasoning that showcases the creativity and preferences of each cook. However, a classic blend typically includes dried thyme, toasted sesame seeds, sumac, and salt, sometimes augmented with other herbs or spices like marjoram, oregano, or cumin.

Ingredients and Flavors

Let’s delve into the core components that create the enchanting flavor profile of Za’atar, available for purchase:
