Pickling Grape Leaves

Homegrown grape leaves, citruses, herbs and spicesHerbs and spicesOlder grape leaves before blanchingTender Grape LeavesGrape vine with pale younger leaves and older darker, coarse older leaves. The hot and humid summer is causing more growth of the grape vines. We continue to harvest the leaves to save space and reduce the risk of fungal infections such as powdery mildew. We used salt and lemon…

Making wine

1) gather fruit like grape or plum that has a visible yeast bloom on it

2) smash whole fruit with fist. Yes, without washing. You don’t want to wash off those wild yeasts. Yes you can leave the seeds/pit

3) stuff smashed fruit into a reasonably sterile container, with a cloth lid to stop spiders and flies from falling in. You can also sterilize a big pickle jar with boiling water and just lightly place the lid on top.

4) top up with distilled (Not Tap Water, which contains chlorine and stuff that kills yeast) water till the mash kinda floats a bit, and add a big dollop of honey, or other sugar source.

5) wait 12-30 hours, while looking for bubbles formation to show yeast is going crazy

6) mop up the sticky foam that bubbled up from your wild yeasts processing the FUCK outta those fruits. Turning fruit sugar into alcohol and CO2 gas

7) after three days, get tired of cleaning up sticky foam overflow residue every morning and night, and scoop out most of the solids

8) after 8 days of fermenting, see bubbles slow down, sediments start to settle, and move liquids to a carboy with a water-air lock.

9) continue to allow fermentation until bubbles stop forming.

10) if it smells awesome, drink and bottle that shit. If it ever starts to smell rancid; toss it.

Congrats, you’ve participated in a traditional brewing art that humans have been doing since 7,000 BC. Like, bronze-age human delights.

If anyone tries to tell you that winemaking is hard, ignore their opinion.

It’s hard to make specific flavors, specific alcohol percentages, and specific appearances. Yeasts present on fruit skins wanna make wine so bad they look stupid.

If you want your wine to be shelf stable and not keep it in the fridge all the time, you gotta measure it’s specific gravity and do a little math conversion. If it’s too low, toss some vodka in there to make a “fortified” wine. Extra alcohol = protection from going bad.

[polar-solstice]

the way that every culture has some combination of breads and alcohol and cheese and pickled things I feel like we're really missing the mark by not mysticizing yeasts more

like we make them a warm, dark little home and leave them an offering of grain or milk or grape and these unseen creatures give us these unimaginable gifts????

What are some of your favorite things about Palestine & Palestinian culture?

ayyy so i made another post about how much i love the mountains, but i also love our olives. i am NOT fighting the stereotypical palestinian olive lover allegations. i know a lot of people don't like olives but that's just bc they don't do it right i think. my grandmother ages the olives, adding lemon and salt and other sorts of "spices" and whatnot into an olive jar to mix with the olive oil and then keeps the olives sitting there in the juices and oil for many months. after aging them for a very long time, she takes them out and they end up becoming all soft and the olives would have soaked up a ton of the oil and juices and so when you bite into it it's soft and the oil floods your mouth and it's DELICIOUS 😩😩😩😩 that one saying that's like "palestinians drink more olive oil than water" is TRUE !!! olives are very special to us and we love them so very much.

i think palestinians really like our food sour. i don't know if this applies to all palis but in my family specifically, we LOVEEE sour foods. not the gross type of sour, but the sour that's like really enjoyable and fun and flavorable. we love making our waraq diwali (grape leaves) extra sour when we eat them, we like our laban (sort of like plain yogurt in a way) on the sour side, we have many different types of sour pickled foods and vegetables that you can buy from anywhere downtown from a store on the street, and my grandma and i eat straight up lemons whenever we have a meal. a lot of palestinian dishes have summaq in them, and that's a slightly sour sort of spice we always use.

another thing i love about palestine are our castles! castles, palaces, mansions, whatever you wanna call them. i've seen many around the city of ramallah, and they are GORGEOUS. i don't know if people actually live in them long term but they're a very pretty sight to see on the road. they're kept very clean and good looking so i bet people regularly attend to them. i think most people who own castles only come to live there when they're on vacation to palestine, but many of the castle owners don't permanently reside in the country. still a cool sight to see though!

i hope this was somewhat interesting to you lol

As requested by @theannoyingurge let's take a detour from our regular schedule and talk food preservation in medival settings / before everybody had a refrigerator so you can write the bg3 fic of ur dreams and be realistic even with details that keep getting in ur way:

Underground cellars/basements. No rly. They can be incredible cool even in summer or even if they're not too deep, and they've been used to ripen and store food such as wine or cheese or meat since ages. Cooling and freezing has been no new invention, we've been refrigerating food (where possible aka northern regions and those with real winters) since forever. The only difference is that it's more convenient nowadays.

Your food can't spoil if you let it rot deliberately aka fermenting. Whether it's fruits and vegetables, honey and grape wines, beer, cheese, or soy sauce. People have been using fermentation since ancient times to preserve foods. Remember Surströmming? The canned fish that smells incredibly bad? Yeah that's just fermented fish.

My personal fav: The burial method. Foods would be burried in dry soil (the deeper u go the cooler it gets) to protect from, well, the sun, but also and very importantly, pests and that stuff. Sometimes the food would also be tightly packed in salts or some marinades to infuse some flavour and to dry it out even better, it's a method still used today for food such as Graved Lachs (lit. buried salmon) a 'delicacy' and yeah shit tastes awesome actually I highly recommend trying it.

Can't have fermenting without pickling. Even ancient Romans loved pickles. Everyone knows that wine can turn into vinegar, and guess what they took advantage of. Also you can pickle pretty much everything. Fish, meat, fruits, veggies. It's edible? You can pickle it. And apparently people will.

Boiling stuff with sugar or honey, aka, making jams and jellies. Sugar can preserve food, and while they didn't have those cute lil glasses we do, they still very much enjoyed their jam. Ofc this was used primarily for sweeter foods. Strawberry jam has been used as a treat for God knows how long. You wouldn't believe how old some cake recipes really are.

Curing and smoking: a method we still very much use to this day to make sausages and prepare other sorts of meat and fish. People have ever since loved the smoke flavour and dangerous amounts of salt. Jerky is certainly no new invention.

Drying: yep. Grain, nuts, fruits, veggies. Lots of shit lasts nearly forever if its purposefully dried. Just make sure you don't screw it up and treat the not yet so dry produces carefully. Garlic ropes may keep out vampires but the biggest advantage is that it'll keep it from spoiling so fast.

And most importantly; the take only what you need approach. You need only 2 tomatoes? Only pluck 2 off the vine. You need meat 3 days from now? Well, only get it on the day you'll need it. You need bread today? Bake it today. People we're very conscious about their foods and what they needed. Doesn't hurt to leave the apple on the tree for one more day if it's not close to overripe already.

Now for the fun part, the random trivia regarding food;

Originally it was a woman's job to brew the beer

Beer can be used as food and it often was used as a cheap tavern food or in times of need

Island nations and coastal regions love to eat fresh, raw fish. A lot of culture from this region somehow includes raw fish in their cuisine for a plethora of reasons. Coastal people love their raw fish. Also algae. They do love algae too

Not a single hair on an animal was wasted. Hair = brushes, fat = soaps and cosmetics, blood = can be cooked and eaten. Blood sausages and all that stuff. Lamb's intestines were famously used as condoms. I meant it when I said everything.

The 'trash' meat aka scraps and very non tasty looking stuff was mixed with grain and fried in times where food was rare. Great source of protein and very filling.

Meat was expensive, so it was rare to come by and very much valued.

Normal middle/lower class people would often only eat the "good stuff" once a week or on special occasions.

During outbreaks of the pest and other illnesses even kids drank beer. Water was too dirty and contaminated.

In fact the primary drinks were wines, beers, ales all that stuff. Water had to be boiled first.

Pretty much everything that wasn't poisonous would be eaten by people. Wasting food really didn't happen a lot outside of the upper class.

Religion was heavily influenced by food. Meat will spoil very quickly in the deserts heat, a sober soldier fights better than a drunk one, fish is rare outside of coastal towns so it's expensive and rare, cows are much more useful if they're alive rather than dead, you took a life to feed yourself so be responsible about it, that kinda shit. Food influences religion. Has always done that.

Hope this helps or this is what u were looking for. I somehow crave Graved Lachs now so I shall hunt some in the supermarket or smth.

Metadede headcanons

Ft. Transfem Meta and Bisexual Himbo Dedede

She sit on his shoulder/arm like a bird and uses this to cuss people out

Meta still can’t cook for shit

Dedede can barely cook but makes the sickest chocolate chip cookies this side of the galaxy

Meta can carry Dedede around and this results in the ‘mah wweifie iss sooo stroong’ cringe affect

Once Dedede got a ball of yarn out of curiosity and Meta immediately just acted like an excited kitten

Meta has (kinda reluctantly)let Kirby and Sailor do her makeup before

The statues from the ‘Sworn Partners’ fight are now in a garden under their bedroom window

Meta tried baking a cake for her hubby’s birthday once

Bandana had to drag her away from the fire that started

If anyone misgenders Meta, be prepared to be threatened by a penguin while his wife flips you off

‘Meta Knight’s Revenge’ happened before they started dating

After the Halberd crashed, the entire crew showed up on Dedede’s doorstep, drenched in water and looking slightly like sad cats

“hey, sooooooo, we need a place to stay for a bit….”

”meta what the fuck did you do”

Meta would just leave flowers on Dedede’s window sill cause she suck ass at flirting

Imagine - lil borb meta flying and carrying big ass penguin husband with one hand

she stronk

Mets just sinks into the fluff of Dedede’s robe

literally looks like the top of a grape with wings in the fluff

she can and will sleep like this

Meta’s (semi-jokingly) pissed that her husband has better boobs then her

”HIS are all natural, and I had to pay to get these motherfuvkers!”

Dedede makes sure to kiss all of Meta’s face scars whenever she takes her mask off around him

You ever seen a penguin king pet his sleeping bat wife like she was a cat?

well now you have the cute mental image

Everything is okay once you cuddle in the world’s comfiest bed with piles of blanket around

They spar as date nights sometimes

Meta’s got some jealousy issues based off insecurities

but then her husband kisses her and she feels much better

Once meta put fake lashes on her mask to try to get people to gender her correctly

she was so pissed off when it actually worked

Dedede couldn’t stop laughing

They both adopted the dee twins separately before they were married

Meta is the scariest of the entire family

you put pickles on someone’s burger when they asked for none?

prepare to have your head added to the wall above a fireplace somewhere

They also have the biggest table in the castle filled with food for eating contest dates sometimes

Dedede loves listening to his wife infodump about the stars and constellations

everyone in the kingdom thought they were oblivious idiots in love until they announced their wedding

Meta can see UV light so sometimes she actually thinks her husband is glowing when her eyes are just being like ‘ooooo pretty light’

Meta is moronsexual

they do each other’s make up

ddd is a fucking master at doing eyeliner

the queerest straights you’ll ever meet

The new Lifeguard

It was a beautiful but hot day in summer, and Ash had been planning on going to the beach to try and swim a little bit during his vacation in California, just to cool off and relax after his morning at the gym. While walking to the beach which was about 5 minutes away on foot, Ash couldn’t help but stare at woman butts, and breasts. He was straight after all, and he certainly didn’t like any of that “Gay shit”. He walked towards the beach in the burning sun, sweating like a beast and stinking.

Arriving, Ash was surprised to see absolutely no one on the beach when it should’ve been crowded with other tourists visiting and locals, specifically on a hot day like this one. The beach was empty except for some people sunbathing or lifeguards. Ash approached one of the lifeguards to ask why no one was swimming, it was really weird. The lifeguard looked to be in his 20s, he was definitely a twink and Ash thought to himself how he didn’t feel embarrassed to have a speedo hugging his 2-inch looking penis.

“Yo bro, why is there no one swimming?” Ash asked, which the twink lifeguard answered by “Girl haven’t you seen like.. the signs? Scientists discovered like a weird chemical in the water, no one is allowed to swim here anymore!” The twink said with a high-pitched voice. The gym addict, Ash replied by “Nah bro, I don’t care about your bullshit, I’ll swim if I want to, and you’re definitely not gonna stop me with that body of yours.” Ash removing his shirt and revealing his perfect, musky pecs and abs in front of the twink, who looked at him with puppy eyes.

Ash started to walk towards the water, completely ignoring the twink telling him not to go in.

The jock put his two, size 16 feet into the seawater. “See?! Nothin’s happenin bro.” Ash said to the Twink looking at him in the distance.

But no, there was actually something starting to happen, but Ash didn’t feel or notice it. The chemical in the water was somehow making his feet…shrink. Going from a meaty, thick and masculine to small, cute and tiny size 9 feet. His previous jock foot smell which wasn’t noticeable In the water didn’t fade away completely however, Ash’s feet would still be smelling badly of cheese even with his new transformed twink feet. It just wasn’t as powerful and intoxicating as before, even though the smell was still able to be noticed and considered foul-smelling. Ash went deeper into the water, making his legs fully emerged and fully ready to change. His legs that were muscular, athletic and strong quickly changed as he stopped just before his crotch was emerged by the sea water. His legs became less and less muscular by the second, only to become average, slim and skinny twink legs. The hair on his legs also vanished, only leaving a brown coat that was barely visible. The shrinking of his legs made his height change, he was once 6’2 but that became 5’8.

“See, don’t know why you’re being such a puss bout’ it bro!” Ash started making fun of the lifeguard Twink, thinking nothing was happening, while going deeper into the water until his entire lower body & crotch was submerged. Obviously, his crotch was first. Without a surprise, it shrunk. It went from a huge, meaty and impressive 9 inch hard to a small, ridiculous and laughable 3.9 inch hard, and even more ridiculous 1.5 inch soft. His cock was the smallest out of all the lifeguards. Ash’s balls also shrunk, becoming two small grapes resting right underneath his pickle. Surprisingly, his hard-earned muscular butt also deflated, going from being large and huge to being small but really round. His new butt now looked like two small water bubbles, perfectly round, smooth but sadly small. Something that grew was his hole, though, it became bigger and larger, ready for any type of penetration.

Ash’s lower body was now transformed and fully emerged into the water, as he kept going deeper and deeper. His stomach just flattened out, while his pillowy pecs deflated like balloons, also becoming flat with his nipples becoming small, cute and very sensitive. The lifeguard was watching him, full well knowing what was going on to the arrogant jock but having no intention of rescuing him.

Ash’s entire body was into the water now except his head, which made his arms change. They shrunk, deflated and changed until they were small, skinny but defined twigs. They still somehow kept a little bit of their muscle. The hair under his armpits faded away. Ash was now really clean smelling overall except for his feet, and his butt when he farted. Ash started to look back at the twink and admire him. Of course he was straight, but he couldn’t help but stare at his big bubble butt, wishing his was this big. He even got hard looking at him. He didn’t question it though, he was in a sort of comfortable cloud, which was actually the water.

As Ash now had the body of a 19 year old twink, his head was next.

Ash dived straight into the water, completely emerging his entire body including his head. That caused it to change, first it’s shape changed completely, becoming less round than before. As the shape changed, his hair also did. It went from a buzzcut to a fluffy and cute twink teenager haircut that would be smelling of sea on summers like this one from him being in the water or the beach all day. His facial features became more boyish and cute, but also gave him a chill, relaxed and almost dumb look. What made him look even dumber was his ears, they made him look like a dumb ape or mouse. But most people would once again find it cute. His voice became more feminine and boyish, sounding like he hadn’t even hit puberty yet, even though he was 19. The last thing that changed with his body was his skin tone, he was once white.. but he quickly adopted a cute tan earned from the long days at the beach.

His memories were now changing, as his head was still underwater. Ash started to swim, even though he wasn’t that good of a swimmer before, he was now swimming like a pro. Knowledges of knowing how to dive and swim correctly flooded his mind, while other things about his personality and memories were changing.

He'd thought he had always been a homosexual twink, that worked as a lifeguard at a local beach. He had always lived in California, he even had an apartment downtown where he lived alone. He was single but didn’t want to miss any opportunities of getting his flat butt filled. All his previous memories faded into a horrible smelling fart. The fart was so smelly that even inside the water, the eggy smell could still be slightly noticed. The fart made bubbles appear inside the water, just like a jacuzzi, Ash thought. As Ash became dumber, the bubbles emitting from his eggy fart were making him giggle. His IQ landed at 70, which is just like his penis and ass, below average.

His personality started to change, The once arrogant, rude and masculine Ash draining in another horrible smelling fart, which was way longer than the previous one. As the long fart ended, Ash became obedient, chill and extremely submissive. He was 100% a bottom, and it was showing. He was ready to go with whatever others had him do, and was never in charge for anything. He was a really chill person to be with, he was really nice and kind.

New clothes started to appear while the other ones simply faded with the fart, a lifejacket and swimming shorts that showed how small he was on both the front and the back. Ash got his two little but smelly feet out of the water and walked back onto the beach, each step he was taking in the sand resulting in a horrible smelling fart sprouting out of his butt. He greeted the other twink lifeguard and sat with him on the sand. It was just another day at work for him. B.O ; 7/10 Butt size ; 4/10 Penis size ; 1.5/10 Overall looks ; 9/10

Good Luck Traditions for NYE

-Have some cash in your wallet. Starting the year with your debts paid and money in your pocket is said to ward off financial hardship.

-Fill your cupboards. Empty cupboards signify a hard, hungry year ahead, so make that last-minute grocery run if you can. At the very least, try to make sure you have bread and salt in the house.

-Save your cleaning for January. Cleaning the house on New Year’s Eve is said to sweep or wash away good luck coming your way in the new year. Of course, some traditions hold that the exact opposite is true - that cleaning your home just before the new year symbolizes a fresh start. (I say compromise and do your tidying on Dec 30th.)

-Open the doors and windows. Doing so just after midnight symbolizes letting the old year out and welcoming the new one in.

-Make some noise! Cheer, clap, sing, blow horns, set off fireworks or party crackers, bang pots and pans together. All of these traditions are meant to scare away spirits waiting to cause bad luck in the new year.

-Kiss your sweetie. A kiss at midnight on New Year’s Eve is meant to preserve the love you feel for the entirety of the year to come.

-Toast the old year as it ends and the new year as it begins. Traditionally, this is done with champagne or beer or some kind of alcohol, but it's perfectly acceptable to do so with juice or soda or mocktails instead. (Some traditions hold that toasting with water is bad luck.)

-Divine your future for the year ahead with candle wax. Melt a spoonful of wax over a flame or burn a fresh votive until a small pool forms. Extinguish the candle and pour the liquid wax into a bowl of cold water, then examine the shape it takes. (In Germany, they do this with small pieces of lead or tin.)

-Serve your favorite traditional foods with your New Year’s supper to ensure that poverty and hardship stay far from your door in the coming year. Good-luck foods include lentils, grapes (twelve of them), black-eyed peas and collard greens, pork and sauerkraut, and soba noodles. In Greece and Bulgaria, special breads and pastries are made with a single lucky coin baked inside. German and Swedish traditions also recommend eating pickled herring for New Year’s.

-Burn the old year in effigy! Write the number of the year and anything you wish to get rid of or leave behind on a piece of paper. Prepare a bonfire or cauldron, crumple the paper, and toss it into the flames. (This is best done outdoors if possible. Always practice fire safety!)

Happy New Year to all and may next December find us all better off than we were!
