[Approachable? Yeah. Not the 80 pounds I put in the brine at a time. 80 pounds in at a time? Oh, yeah. We've got to start with pink salt, allspice. Coriander. Whole cloves, whole black peppercorn, nutmeg, mustard seed.]

ok... so i understand that thg fans are not exactly cato stans... but like, his last moments (in the movies) were like so painful... "one last kill. it's all i know how to do" hurt so much. like, they're all just kids sent to die and kill each other and cato and all the other tributes were all KIDS, i can't stress it enough. i think cato could've had a very interesting story if he was the main character... now i need a book about cato's life pls

the thing that gets me about the "must read 100 books a year Or Else" thing is that you just.... don't see it with any other hobby?

no one (as far as I know) is telling knitters "you have to knit 100 projects in a year, it doesn't matter if they turn out holey or misshapen or ugly, it matters that you made so many of them!" pretty sure no one is telling gamers "you have to play 100 games a year, doesn't matter if you really enjoy them or explore the worlds, what's important is that you finish them!"

So...why, and I say this as someone who's a fairly fast reader and has read a lot this year, are (terminally online) readers so obsessed with numbers? Is it because more books = more intelligent? Is it just Number Go Up mentality? I understand the thrill of wanting to beat your past self and read more books than the year before or whatever, but why do you expect to hold others to your standards??

Palestinian seb3 baharat recipe roundup

#1

Arabic-language, Palestinian youtuber, from her mother

1/2 Tbsp nutmeg (جوزة الطيب) (optional)

1 1/2 Tbsp cassia cinnamon (قرفة) (quills or bark)

3 Tbsp allspice (بهار حلو)

1 1/2 Tbsp cardamom (هيل)

1/2 Tbsp cloves (قرنفل)

1 1/2 Tbsp black pepper (فلفل أسود)

1/2 Tbsp ginger (زنجبيل)

1 1/2 Tbsp coriander (كزبرة)

1/2 Tbsp dried lemon / loumi (لومي)

Measurements after grinding. Tbsp = ملعقة كبيرة, tsp = ملعقة; not US customary measurements.

Comment says ginger is modern; Wikipedia says loumi is commonly an ingredient in Gulf-region 7-spice.

#2

English-language, Palestinian youtuber, from her grandmother

1 cup black pepper

1/3 cup cinnamon

1/2 cup allspice

1/4 cup cardamom

1/4 cup cumin

3 cloves

2 nutmeg pods

Measurements before grinding. US customary measurements.

#3

English-language, Palestinian food writer.

6 cassia bark sticks or cinnamon sticks

3 tablespoons coriander seeds

1 tablespoon black peppercorns

1 teaspoon cardamom seeds

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

10 whole cloves

2 blades mace

1/2 whole nutmeg, crushed

Called "nine-spice" but it's the same blend. Measurements before grinding; US customary measurements.

East Jerusalem Goods store, seems to be owned by Israelis?

"Our baharat is a mixture of: clove spice, English pepper, black pepper, nutmeg, cardamom spice, cumin, and a touch of dry coriander."

"English pepper" refers to "فلفل انجليزي" "falfil inglizi" "English pepper" aka "فلفل افرنجي" "falfil afranji" "French pepper" aka "بهار حلو" "bhar hloo" "sweet spice" aka allspice. A direct translation of the Hebrew "פלפל אנגלי"; it doesn't seem to be in common use in Arabic otherwise.

English-language, some white lady living in the "Middle East" claims this is used by "Arabs in Israel"

1 tbsp ground cardamom pods (the black seeds inside)

1 tbsp ground dry ginger

½ tbsp ground nutmeg

1 tbsp ground black pepper

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

½ tbsp allspice

Measurements after grinding. US customary measurements.

#6

English-language, "Levantine" food blogger, recipe from mother & grandmother

1 tablespoon Coriander

1 tablespoon Allspice

1 tablespoon Cumin

1 tablespoon Cloves

1 tablespoon Black pepper

1 tablespoon Cinnamon

1 tablespoon Nutmeg

Measurements after grinding. US customary measurements.

Arabic-language, labelled "Palestinian", page with various regional recipes

2 parts allspice berries (فلفل إفرنجي حب؛ بهار، فلفل هلو؛ كباب صينية)

1 part black peppercorns (فلفل أسود حب)

1/2 part cloves (قرنفل)

1/2 part ground cinnamon (قرفة مطحونة)

1/2 part cumin seeds (كمون حب)

1/2 part ground ginger (زنجبيل مطحون)

1/3 part nutmeg, whole or ground (جوزة الطيب مطحون أو حب)

The recipe gives various terms for allspice which in fact refer variously to allspice (the first three) and cubeb berries (the last one). In this context allspice is certainly what is meant.

Measurements variously before and after grinding. It's unclear whether the "parts" (جزء) are by volume or weight; black pepper is almost twice as dense as allspice...

English-language, comment on "Middle Eastern" recipe that calls for "baharat":

"My family is Palestinian and came from Jordan. The 7 Spice Mixture we use is Allspice, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Clove, Black Pepper, Cumin and Coriander.”

Mum braised this deskinned whole leg of chicken with shiitake mushrooms and garlic cloves in five-spice and dark soya sauce. She also stir-fried a dish of cabbage, mushroom, prawn, minced pork and tomato for Dinner.

i really wanted to establish the energy in my new home as warm & welcoming, so i invited some close friends & family to a little housewarming party. as a thank you, i put these together to hand out to each guest.

•homemade dried oranges for increased productivity

•pine sprigs foraged from the trees around my home for purity

•responsibly sourced cinnamon sticks for prosperity

•cloves for protection

of course i went a little overboard and have many gift bags to hand out throughout the rest of the holiday season.

there will be many future gatherings. my home already feels more full~
