Indian Spices
Bavanemasala, a rich and aromatic spice blend, holds a significant place in Indian cuisine. Known for its complex flavor profile and versatility, it serves as a defining element in various regional dishes. The term "bavanemasala" translates to "the blend of fifty-two spices," although the actual number may vary depending on regional adaptations and personal preferences.
The origins of bavanemasala can be traced back to traditional Indian kitchens, where it was meticulously crafted by home cooks and chefs alike. Its foundational ingredients often include roasted cumin, coriander, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom, among others. This combination not only enhances the taste but also contributes to the dish's overall aroma, creating a sensory experience that is quintessentially Indian.
Bavanemasala is particularly celebrated for its role in curries, rice dishes, and even snacks, thereby showcasing its versatility. It is often used to marinate meats, lend depth to vegetarian dishes, or enrich lentil preparations. The careful balance of spices ensures that the flavor is neither overpowering nor insipid, thus highlighting the natural ingredients in the dish.
Moreover, the preparation of bavanemasala is an art form in itself, often passed down through generations. Each family may have its own secret recipe, which fosters a sense of identity and belonging within the culinary landscape of India. The process typically involves dry roasting the spices before grinding them into a fine powder, which not only intensifies their flavors but also preserves their essential oils.
In conclusion, bavanemasala is more than just a spice blend; it embodies the rich culinary traditions of India. Its unique amalgamation of flavors and versatility in application make it a cherished component of Indian cooking. As global interest in Indian cuisine continues to rise, bavanemasala stands as a testament to the depth and diversity of flavors that Indian food has to offer.

thinking about mating press with beefy!bucky. all that weight on top of you, knowing for certain he’s about to breed you?? ughhh
Oh God yes, the thought of this makes me fucking purr 🤤
Just the thought of his thick, slightly curved cock sliding as deep inside as you can take. The feeling of his tip rubbing against your cervix before he withdraws, pulling almost entirely out of you before he glides back in again.
"Good girl, 'm so proud of you. Cum nice and hard for me, I've got you. You're safe." He holds you so close, letting you sob your pleasure against his neck while he works you through another orgasm. It's tender and romantic and loving and you're beyond aware that this man makes you insanely wet.
Your thighs are still trembling as you come down from your high. Each thrust now feels like it's almost too much but with the way Bucky's groaning, he might not be able to keep it up for much longer.
"Fuck, you feel like Heaven. This pretty little pussy was made for me. Made to be mine." His thrusts are punishing but it's an addictive feeling. "I'm going to fill you. I'm not going to pull out. Going to give you a baby."
You're almost surprised how badly you want that but it's very hard to find the words to tell him; not when his thrusts are beginning to stutter and his high seems to get closer and closer.
"I'm going to fuck a baby into you." His hand holds your chin, making sure he can see your eyes. The evidence of pleasure written all over his face might've been enough to convince you that you could handle another orgasm but you'll still not quite sure that's a good idea.
Within a few more seconds, his cock is throbbing inside you, shooting stripes of hot, thick cum right against your cervix. He looks entirely content with his decision, pressing as deep as he can so you can feel him pulse and twitch.
There's not much you need to say to each other for a few seconds. Instead, it's nice to just listen to you both trying to catch your breath while your partner floods your waiting, fluttering sex with his cum.
#asks answered <3#becca writes spice#beefy!bucky#beefy!bucky smut#the sleepies have hit me hard this week#I had a really productive day today though#Washed and dried all my new tableware and assigned it a cupboard to live in#Had a lovely afternoon just listening to some Hozier and getting my kitchen looking nice#I've had this one really filthy thought that I might just have to find the time to write this week

Sign the Petition! Tell Trader Joes what we want!
Some anti-Israel "activists" are trying to pressure Trader Joe's to stop carrying Israeli products. As far as I can tell, they don't even carry many products made in Israel, so this seems very performative to me. You can always just not buy Israeli products when you shop, if you object to them, of course.
Historically and currently, this type of performative anti-Israel protest often comes hand-in-hand with hostility toward visible Jews and Israelis. In the past, these protests have frequently been followed by pressure to stop carrying kosher food at all.
Trader Joe's is the only grocery store to carry kosher food in some US communities and the only one to carry kosher meat in even more US cities. We need Trader Joe's all throughout USA to remain safe and welcoming for Jews and Israelis. Please sign the petition to keep the current Israeli products at Trader Joe's, and keep them a safe place for Jews and Israelis.
If these bigoted "activists" succeed, it could open the door for the removal of all kosher foods from Trader Joe's, even ones not made in Israel, and then those communities that rely on Trader Joe's will be left without a place to get kosher foods.
Tagging a few bigger name Jumblr bogs for visibility.
@spacelazarwolf @freegazafromhamas @tikkunolamresistance @spot-the-antisemitism @edenfenixblogs
#Israel#Trader Joe's#performative activism#petition#tumblr#we went to Trader Joe's today#and there was a Palestine sticker with Germany's eagle symbol on one of the carts - ew#we also bought more of the Israeli products than we usually buy#also Jewish products like challah#IDK if that matters#just want to remind them that Jews shop there#and the Israeli and Jewish products make them money#also you can buy more of the Israeli products there to counter protest#Bamba#Israeli Feta#Dorot frozen spices#supposedly the pita chips and some of the hummus though I didn't see any that said they were from Israel

prompts are free use forever, and i hope you tag me in anything you make! prose gets read and adored, art gets reblogged and adored.
keep writing and stay odd forever

Imagine...
... your F/O coming to visit you at your workplace. Is it gonna be a nice little gesture, or is it going to cause the end of the world (or at least the downfall of your company)? Do they appreciate your coworkers or are they sworn enemies? Does your F/O purchase or order anything just to spend more time with you? Are they a calm, welcome customer who can behave, or are they going to end up getting kicked out by the manager (or you)?
#i think senshi and cassandra would behave pretty well...#senshi would buy the entire stock of spices though lmao#cassandra would probably find herself a nice bath oil or a cute gift that she's too embarrassed to buy so i'd gift it to her later#varric would talk long and broad about me to my coworkers and overdo it in every aspect... lmao#nathan would probably find a way to kill five other customers and set the store on fire tbh. if not he would at least break a ton of stuff#i'm not sure about wamuu tbh#when he's alone i'm sure he can be respectful and admire my work. i think he'd like our products tbh#but if his masters are coming too then the store will most likely not be up anymore by the end of the day... lmao#selfship imagines#self ship imagines#f/o community#f/o stuff#f/o imagines#selfship community#self ship community#selfshipping

I was getting my hair done today and I couldn't stop thinking about ex!husband Bucky finding out you started dating other people after the divorce and how fun the sex would be if he got jealous 😵💫
Because imagine how slowly he'd slide his dick into you, holding your chin in one hand to make sure you don't take your eyes off his. He presses into you so damn slowly, making sure you feel the way your body adjusts to allow him inside you. You're way more desperate than you even realised you would be and he knows it.
"What's wrong, sweetheart?" He chuckles quietly, his cheeks flushed, stroking your chin gently with his thumb. "You've gone a little stupid already. Didn't he fuck you right? I bet he didn't. Could've told you he wasn't right for you." It'd been four days since you'd bumped into Bucky while out having dinner with someone else. In truth, the guy you went out with hadn't been all that interesting and you'd parted ways after a couple of drinks but Bucky didn't need to know that.
"He was pretty good actually." You tried to keep your voice steady, despite Bucky's distracting kisses to your neck. "You're gonna have a hard time living up to him."
Your ex-husband huffs out a laugh, his breath hot against your skin. "You've always been a terrible liar." The confidence that drips from his tone is enough to send shivers down your spine.
He's not wrong, it had always been a running joke between the two of you.
"Just looking at that guy, I could tell he wouldn't be able to work out where you like to be touched." His hand moves from your chin to trail ever so gently up the outside of your bare thigh. The featherlight touch leaves you wondering if you'd had goosebumps all evening or if they'd just risen in the last couple of minutes but then you're reminded that this man has taken the time to learn your body like no one else.
"He looked like he'd be selfish. I don't think he understands that the real pleasure in being with you is in getting to watch you come apart. There's nothing like it." He's slipping a little, lost in his admiration of your body. His fingertip trails lightly over your hardened nipple and you know he's remembering the way you gasp when he sucks on the sensitive bud.
"There's nothing like feeling you cum around me and knowing I caused it." He groans quietly, pressing as deep inside you as he can. "And hearing you whimpering my name." He's consumed by the feeling of you, indulging in the memory of the pleasure you've brought each other. "Hearing you begging me to stop when you're so wrung out, you just can't take any more."
He's unbearable in the very best way. He's hardly moved at all and you haven't even noticed because the way he touches you is so distracting. He knows your body and he gets off on showing you that.
His hand drifts back up your body to hold your chin once more, making sure you're watching as he drags his length from the heat of your sex, only to press back in, tearing a gasp from both of you. "You feel perfect. You were made for me." He groans, repeating the motion again and again, enjoying the way your body flutters around his.
#becca's thots#becca writes spice#Bucky Barnes smut#exhusband! bucky smut#I don't know why but I'd been listening to 'king of my heart' by Taylor Swift in the car and this popped into my head#So I thought about it for the 4 and a half hours it took to do my hair#my hair is completely pink now and I'm in LOVE#and I got the shark flexstyle so if anyone has any tips/products to make the curls last pls share them

#Seeing the dune part 2 american centric red carpet and as a devoted aficionado of the books and yk a moroccan person here are my 2 cents#Dune was one of the few Western works inspired by MENA culture that that felt genuine and respectful#But ofc despite the profound symbiosis with Middle Eastern and North African culture evident within the pages of the novels#the movie adaptation lack of substantive representation from these communities both in on-screen portrayals and within production roles was#very much disappointing in part 1 and i doubt there are any change now#While drawing inspiration from the Amazigh peoples of Algeria and Morocco#the film barely skims the surface of its MENA influences leaving substantial potential untapped#Herbert openly acknowledged the profound impact of Islam and MENA culture on his noveIs#from the metaphorical representation of Spice as oil#to the allegorical parallels drawn between the occupation of Arrakis and real-world MENA geopolitics#By marginalizing Arabs from the narrative fabric of Dune the essence of the story is being undermined particularly its anti-colonial core#the irony of this is kiIIing me because this was a direct resuIt of us impérialism on the middIe east#But the reality is that Dune is an American production tailored for an American audience so it makes sense for it to be what it is now#a big production running from its original essence#What adds to my disappointment is the fact that I liked Villeneuve's adaptation of Incendies and I had what you call foolish hope hfhg#Dune feIt Iike a squandered opportunity to authentically depict the cultural milieu that inspired it#Given the narrative's inherent anti-colonial themes#the omission of Arab and North African voices dilute its message if any of it is even left#without representation from Arabs and Amazigh people the cultural essence becomes another appropriated resource watered down to an aestheti#rather than serving as a critique of the destructive actions of colonialists seeking power and dominance#the narrative becomes susceptible to distortion and co-option by the very entities it was intended to condemn and hold accountable

Intensely Spicy Curry Training: Hypmic Curry Drama Track TL
Kuukou: Y’all sure took your sweet time getting here! I’ve already got everything prepared!
Jyushi: But didn’t you tell us to meet you at the temple?
Hitoya: If we’re making curry, why the hell are we way out in the mountains to do it?
Kuukou: Because I just had a great idea. Check this out!
Jyushi: Ooooh, look at all this meat! So, we’re going to be using all of this in our curry?
Hitoya: Beef and chicken, huh? I guess it would make sense not cook these while inside your temple.
Kuukou: You’re half right, and half wrong.
Jyushi: What do you mean?
Kuukou: I don’t plan to make just any ol’ curry. Now it’s time for the both of y’all to mince the hell out of this meat!!
Hitoya: I didn’t know whether to expect if a corrupt little monk such as yourself knew how to cook, but I’m surprised. Instead of using something pre-made, if we pound and mince the meat ourselves, we’d get a far more superior product. Is that what you were thinking?
Jyushi: Oh, I see! That’s amazing, Kuukou-san!
Hitoya: So, where’d you put the food processor?
Kuukou: Ah?? The hell are you on? You’re grinding this meat with your bare hands.
Jyushi: …Eh?
Kuukou: Jyushi, you’re on beef! Hitoya, you’re taking the chicken! Punch it with everything you’ve got and make minced meat out of it!! This is a new training session I thought up!
Hitoya: What the hell is this fool saying??
Jyushi: B-But there’s so much meat!! Grinding it by hand is impossible!!
Kuukou: I don’t want to hear any complaints!! You don’t know that unless you try!
Jyushi & Hitoya: *reluctantly pounds the meat by hand*
Jyushi: *tearfully* …My body’s going to become minced meat before the actual beef!
Hitoya: Damn it, I can’t believe I let my guard down like this…! I shouldn’t have expected we’d simply make curry…!
Kuukou: You can’t expect to get anywhere with a weak spirit behind weak fists like that!! Lemme show you how it’s done!
Kuukou: *starts punching*
Hitoya: You bastard, those are vegetables!!
Jyushi: E-Even I could mince a tomato by hand!
Kuukou: It doesn’t matter either way!! Whether it’s vegetables or meat, all that matters is the heart you’re putting behind it!!
Jyushi: T-That doesn’t make any sense…!!
Kuukou: “Enlightenment can be attained through one thousand fists!” Don’t just keep yapping and put some energy into your hips and legs too!
Hitoya: Tch, I don’t see any way out of this… Then, I might as well get it over with…!! UWOOOOOOOOOAAAARRRRGHHHH!!!!!!!! *maximum effort punching*
Jyushi: H-Hitoya-san??
Kuukou: Hyahaha! There’s the effort I wanna see!
Jyushi: Guh… Because My God has unshackled the chains binding his true power, I, too, must unlock mine to continue alongside him…! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!! *maximum effort punching*
-------------------------
Jyushi: I-I can’t move another inch…
Hitoya: Ugh… I can’t even take the cap off my water bottle…
Kuukou: *sighs* It’s pretty pathetic to be that exhausted just from cooking.
Hitoya: You…!!!
Jyushi: But, I think it would be really nice if our training efforts could be felt by those eating our curry…!
Hitoya: …Well, I don’t think I’d say it like that, but I agree with the sentiment.
*the trees rustle and the birds chirp and there is peace*
Kuukou: The fuck are y’all talking about? There’s no point to this if the people who eating aren’t going through training too.
Jyushi: Eh?
Kuukou: Training can only be felt when you grow from the trials you’ve experienced yourself. Hopping off from other people’s efforts won’t mean shit.
Jyushi: B-but I mean, we’ll still be serving the curry to others once it’s finished cooking, right?
Kuukou: Yup. Which is why I’ve got…!
Hitoya: UWAH!! MY EYES!! IT’S IN MY EYES!!
Jyushi: That powder…!!
Hitoya: It’s red chili pepper!! Jyushi, run!! Move upwind so it doesn’t blow and stick to your mucous membrane!!
Jyushi: Eeek!!! *runs away sobbing*
Kuukou: HYAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Hitoya: Kuukou, you bastard, what are you doing? Are you trying to ruin everything we worked on??
Kuukou: I’m not ruining a damn thing! This curry will be spicy so I can provide a remote kind of training!
Hitoya: Stop fucking around!! There’s gotta be a limit!!
Jyushi: *runs back over* I think there’s more chili pepper powder than ingredients now…!!
Kuukou: Then it’s just right! Now try it.
Jyushi: NO!! I will not be eating!! I absolutely refuse!! Don’t even try me!!
Kuukou: Hey stupid, watch it, that’s dangerous!! Stop fighting me and just—Ahh??
Jyushi: T-The inside of the pot is pitch black……!!
Hitoya: Obviously. Chili peppers burn easily. Haah… Let’s just remake the curry.
Jyushi: But doesn’t that mean we’ll have to mince more meat??
Kuukou: Whatever, I was thinking our “Intensely Spicy Curry Training” was made too halfheartedly anyway!! Time to give it all I got and win this championship!!
#kuko harai#jyushi aimono#hitoya amaguni#bad ass temple#hypmic#hypnosis mic#til that you can make a meat paste at the very least by using a mortar and pestle LOL#the curry pissed me tf off lmao it was so spicy but underneath all that spice was a ridiculously flavourful curry#it's spicy enough that i can tell it's comfortably spicy for people used to eating spice tho!!#habenero is the worst experience with spice i ever had and it wasn't that bad lol but i got the sense it could have been#so i assume jyushi and hitoya talked kuukou down lmao or we didn't want a repeat burnt product lol#i decided to tone down how i usually write bat to try and not show my very obvious bias lol hopefully it worked#i remember slug mentioning sometimes a tl will come off vague in order to not get in the way of future developments#and i actually felt that tling this lmao like when hitoya was telling kuukou there's a limit for everything#i had to choose whether to make this about kuukou and training or kuukou and the chili peppers#the statement itself was a vague warning so my own interpretations of bat were getting in the way probably lol#statements without a clear subject usually default to the person speaking so kuukou saying give it everything and win the championship#is me assuming he's talking about himself and again i'm a little worried my own interpretations of bat are getting in the way#since kuukou's self reliance is blatant but also not if you're casually looking at bat SO IDK LOL I THINK TLING IS HARD#curry tl

For the month of Ramadan, Pizza Hut Singapore came out with the new Rendang-Licious Pizza. The pizza features spicy chicken pops, succulent pieces of marinated rendang chicken, shredded mozzarella, and coconut crumble, all nestled atop a bed of delicious rendang curry sauce on a golden crust. Took advantage of their limited time promotion (18th to 24th March 2024) offering 58% discount off a regular size pizza for just S$14.50.
youtube
Taking a slice of the Rendang-Licious Pan Pizza, it is moist and gooey with stretchy mozzarella cheese. The unmistakable spices of the rendang sauce hits the palate, followed by the light spiciness and aroma of the traditional Malay dish. You get ample pieces of the crispy chicken pop or succulent chicken meat with each bite. I must admit that it is really a sedap (Malay word for delicious) eat.

Nothing screams sanity like researching originally european plants because you dont want to ruin your Immersion (who is this even for) by having a Fantasy setting that mirrors the trade routes of the last 500 years (again for whom) and now you're so fucking deep into plant research.
The amount of plants that have been traded and exchanged and were allowed to immerese themselves into a different culture via trade routes is fascinating. Truly fucking fascinating. It explains so much about european staples. It explains so much about the romans and the greeks (the mediterranian had so much more variety), it shows how much of a patchwork our current foods are, how luxurious our supermarkets are. It made me finally understand the obsession with spices. It made me appreciate garlic so much more (which isnt even european. Ive been lied to.), pepper (technically an exotic spice) and mustard (a european staple from either egypt or china).
I started this journey to recreate an authentic northern region without trade (or with a beginning trade) and instead, I think I just understood history better. Damn.
Definitely go and research your favourite spices! Its very rewarding.
