فخارة العدس / Fukharat l'adas (Palestinian clay-pot lentils)

The name of this dish comes from "فَخَّار" ("fakhar"), meaning "pottery," and "عَدَس" ("'adas"), meaning "lentils." It is traditionally cooked in a قدرة ("qedra," clay pot) made from clay refined from local soil and shaped in family-owned pottery workshops. This type of pot is also used to make a lamb and rice dish of the same name commonly eaten in Gaza and Hebron. The qedra is filled with the cooking ingredients, sealed with a flour-water paste or with aluminum foil, and placed in a wood-fired oven—or buried in an earth oven—to cook for several hours, or even overnight.

This simple dish cooks red lentils with yellow onion, olive oil, and cumin to produce a smooth, earthy stew; additional olive oil and fresh lemon juice squeezed on after cooking add freshness and a tart lift, and شطة (shatta, red chili paste) is spooned in for heat.

As of 2019, the number of families producing qedra in Gaza had decreased from 40 or 50 to 3 or 4, according to workshop owner Sabri Attallah. The Israeli blockade which began in 2007 closed off foreign markets for Palestinian qedras, while cheaper, metal imports cut in on the local market. When the pots are exported to Israel, the multiple checkpoints and mandatory searches between Gaza and Israel cause many of them to break. The compression of Palestinians into small areas by Israeli government and settlers also spells problems for the qedra industry, as the smoke caused by firing pots reduces air quality for nearby residents. Many consider pottery-making to be both an integral part of Palestinian identity, and to be dying out: thus the targeting of Palestinians' economic self-determination targets cuisine and culture as well.

Today, Israeli weapons threaten Palestinian existence. Palestine Action has called for bail fund donations to aid in their storming, occupying, shutting down, and dismantling of factories and offices owned by Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems.

For the lentils:

1 cup split red lentils, rinsed

1 yellow onion, chopped

3 Tbsp olive oil

1 tsp cumin seeds, toasted and ground

Salt, to taste

About 3 cups water

For the shatta (شطة):

100g (about 1 cup) fresh red chili peppers

2 tsp table salt

2 Tbsp olive oil

To serve:

Olive oil

Juice of 1/2 lemon, or to taste

Sweet peppers, radishes, spring onions, pickles, olives, leafy greens, shatta (red chili pepper paste).

Instructions:

For the shatta:

1. Wash peppers and remove stems. Use a mortar and pestle, food processor, or potato ricer to reduce peppers to a paste.

2. Add salt and stir. Add olive oil and stir. Store extra shatta in a jar in the fridge; cover with a thin layer of olive oil to avoid spoiling.

For the lentils (in the oven):

1. Coat the inside a piece of clay cookware of sufficient size, such as a Palestinian qedra or a Moroccan tanjia or tajine, with olive oil. Add the rest of the ingredients, followed by enough water to cover the lentils by at least an inch (about 3 cups). Make sure that the opening of the pot is completely covered (e.g. with a layer of aluminum foil, and then the pot's lid).

2. Place the clay pot in your oven and then heat it to 500 °F (260 °C).

3. Reduce the heat to 150 °F (65 °C) and cook for 2-3 hours, until lentils are mushy.

For the lentils (on the stovetop):

1. Heat olive oil in the base of your clay cookware, or a large pot. Add onions and cumin and fry briefly.

2. Add water and lentils and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes on medium.

3. Lower heat to low and cook for another 30 minutes, until consistency is smooth and mushy. Add water as necessary.

To serve:

Transfer lentils to individual serving bowls. Top with lemon juice and olive oil. Serve alongside shatta (which you may choose to spoon into your bowl) and fresh vegetables.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside 1999

"Otherside" was released as the third single from Red Hot Chili Peppers' seventh studio album, Californication, and confronts the battles addicts have with their prior addictions. "Otherside" refers to former band member Hillel Slovak, who died of a heroin overdose in 1988. The track was released in Australia and New Zealand in 1999 and was given an international release in January of the following year.

It was highly successful, peaking at number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, where it remained at number one for 13 consecutive weeks, one of the longest runs at the top of that chart. It was also a big success in Iceland, where it became the second single from the album to reach number one, and in New Zealand, where it charted at number five.

The gorgeous video was directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris in a black-and-white/monochrome Gothic style similar to Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, all influenced by German Expressionist art. Elements of Cubism and work by the graphic artist M. C. Escher are also seen in the video.

"Otherside" received a total of 76,3% yes votes!

EX FUCKING CUSE ME

Prompt:

The fight at Titans Tower goes a little bit different.

Jason actively fakes Tim’s death (all hail clone science) after knocking him unconscious and turns the entire place into a veritable scene of crime.

Then he takes Tim and.. honestly, he hasn’t planned that far. But the kid looks like he could use some hugs.

And Tim, upon waking up, promptly goes starry eyed over Jason’s apparent resurrection. And, yeah, fine, he’s not entirely ok with the whole “I faked your death” thing, but his end goal is now to return Jason to the family fold, so it’s fine. Bruce and Dick don’t like him that much anyway, right?

Meanwhile, Bruce and Dick discover the gruesome scene at Titans Tower and their world crashes and burns for the second time.

Now that all the desserted cookies are revealed, I’ve got an idea

What if the final prize was Y/N Cookie? Like after a certain amount of challenge, the final challenge involves basically trying to woo Y/N cookie and whoever gets Y/N Cookie’s interest, Gets another million gems AND a private date with Y/N Cookie where no one can disturb them, probably a week in a private island with them.

I can imagine the constestants fighting tooth and nail to win their heart and sabotaging each other while Y/N cookie is just

“Y’know, I’m just glad to be here, its seems like fun!”

It would be the ultimate betrayal to the fellow CoD member to see Red Velvet want to win all by his lonesome. You and Chiffon getting along only MOTIVATED him to try his damnest. Your giving nature of being a friend to everyone, even his cake hounds, was a total score in his eyes. Sorry fellow cookies of darkness, but Red Velvet is GETTING that date and you WILL love him and his cake hounds!

Chili Pepper will be frank, she was always envious of how close and warm you were with Caramel Arrow Cookie. It never failed to put her in a bad mood for a while, as she gave a mean stare at the First Watcher. Hence why she took the opportunity during a scuffle to sneak up on the bow user, ready to bring her down to both satisfy her grievances with Caramel Arrow..as well as possibly getting her out of the way of that date with you…

That is, if Rye Cookie doesn’t intercept Chili Pepper Cookie first. She never believed for one second that Chili Pepper was being genuine with anything she does or says. She could have nefarious plans with you that could get you hurt or put you in danger, which is something Rye Cookie will not allow. She’ll be the one to win this competition to protect you from Chili and all these other sinister cookies that want to get to you….the date is just a bonus. Seriously. That’s all it is to her. Definitely. Is her hair looking nice enough? Is she looking approachable? Are cowgirl bounty hunters your thing? Just asking…
