I’m periodically going through my thousands of drafts and queuing posts. So if you see me reblog an older/Old post of yours, that’s why!

if you’re feeling helpless about the genocide in gaza please remember that you’re still a consumer! you can help by taking part in the BDS movement by being more mindful of where you spend your money! boycott Starbucks, McDonald’s, and Disney..as well as these other major brands:

This is nice but BDS specifically advocates targeted boycotts for maximum impact. From https://bdsmovement.net/get-involved/what-to-boycott:

The current BDS campaign is actually targeting this much shorter list:

• HP
• Siemens
• AXA
• Puma
• SodaStream
• Israeli fruits and vegetables
• Sabra
• Ahava

That right there is a good solid burger patty with the intriguing addition of middle eastern spices 👀👀👀 (and as we all know variety is the spice of life, and spice is the variety of food.) I’m also intrigued by how she put the patty in the pita(?) which makes it a sort of burger panini. It looks good and I am going to have to try it.

I want to make this for my family, but my mom’s pretty iffy on beef that is anything but well done (dry as fuck) so I’m wondering how to cook it throughly enough without burning the bread.

You can cook it in very thin pita with a thin layer of minced beef/lamb so that the meat is cooked brown all the way through in only 1 minute per side.

But also! Red Meat is “Well Done” at 160F/72C (white meat is 165F/75C). Bread actually doesn’t even toast until 255F/123C!!

So, if you make the full size patties in a frying pan on a low-medium heat, or an oven set to 300F/150C, it will take about 20 minutes to cook instead of only 3 minutes, but it will DEFINITELY not burn the bread, and the meat will be VERY well done.

Here is the oven based recipe I suggested elsewhere on the post

Kafta in pita - Taste of Beirut

The first time I had this dish was in Lebanon when a childhood friend took me to a restaurant called Taaj El-Moulook (meaning The kings’crow

Taste of Beirut

@bananafosters In case you are interested also!

Confirmed: delicious

I’m curious as to what the spices/seasonings in the beef are cause I wanna make this myself so bad

There’s always fresh Parsley and Lebanon 7 spice (sabaa baharat), and then in the tiktok there’s also onion, garlic, and jalapeno. A lot of people also put in tomato, or tomato paste.

My favourite 7 spice is equal parts:

• Cinnamon
• Black Pepper
• Cumin
• Cloves
• Coriander
• Allspice or nutmeg
• Ginger or Cardamom

But really, as long as you have the italicized ones, the others can be up to you. Some people use paprika and turmeric, some people use sumac and mint. It’s really variable.

Also if you don’t want to mix it yourself, a good Garam Masala will have all of these spices and a few more, and makes an excellent ready-to-use substitute.

#might try making a vegan version of this

Have I got great news for you: you can use mashed chickpeas (or your favourite lentil or pea) instead of beef! You may need to add some flour to make it form a good texture with all of the minced ingredients, but it works great!

This is basically how a falafel is made! You make the mixture with chickpeas, form small balls (like a golf ball), and fry them in a pan with oil. They will flatten some as you cook them.

Though, I wouldn’t recommend garam masala for falafel, since it tends to be stronger in beans than on beef. Some people don’t even use all 7 spices for falafel, but I do since I premix them anyway.

Depends if you find it sexier to submit to the will of charismatic evil or to be overwhelmed by animalistic power. And that’s not a decision I can make for you.

“how do you know your friends don’t secretly hate you/find you annoying” baby i’ve said things in discord servers that would make any other human being get a restraining order and move countries to never encounter my presence on this earth again, and they haven’t even blocked me

if my friends hated my guts they simply would not keysmash in response to some of the worst sentences ever put together by the human mind

Yes it’s very important for solidarity with workers but, and maybe this is an unpopular opinion, workers should have solidarity with poor customers. Like ignore shoplifting, be sensitive when ppl are using EBT cards, that kinda thing.

If you work retail and you worry about shoplifters I beg you to remember how little money you’re being paid to do this

and also no matter what your boss says to you, someone shoplifting will not cause your wages to be docked. if it DOES, then you can get in contact with a labor attourney, who will proceed to light up like a kid at christmas because they (and you) are about to get a big fat payday. that shit is ridiculously illegal.

Remember kids, the largest form of theft in this country is wage theft, and it’s not because of poor people trying to get by.

In terms of news sites, I’m really only trusting Al Jazeera’s coverage of the situation. I’m also following pages like Times of Gaza and Eye On Palestine. But mainly, I’m following Palestinian citizens/journalists who are sharing live updates: Muhammad Smiry, Hind Khoudary, Motaz Azaiza, Wael Al Dahdouh, Plestia Alaqad, Yara Eid, Ali Jadallah, Abdallah Al Attar, and Mohammed Al Masri and probably a few more I can’t remember right now.

If anyone has any other reputable sources that I may have missed please add them to this post.
