This one is a somewhat healthier, but…

10 random fax about me

i'm stealing this from @papermint-airplane because the yappening is from midnight to midnight baby. please feel free to do this if you see this and you're bored.

i've had some form a tumblr account since 2010. 14 years ago!! dude i was 15 omfg ew! i've seen entire empires rise and fall, do not quote the scripture to me witch etc.

i can speak a few languages (english, tagalog, japanese, some fr*nch) but i can understand better if i'm reading. i also know how to read a few languages idk how to speak, such as korean, greek, and anything written with cyrillic.

tumblr and instagram are the only social media i spend any time on. i haven't had twitter since it was bought by apartheid clyde. i have a reddit account but i actively avoid it unless i need advice from some reddit sage from 7-10 years ago, otherwise it's a hate-filled echo chamber inside a septic tank.

i LOVE karaoke (i will never escape the filipino allegations). if u invite me to karaoke i will literally rise out of a deep cryogenic sleep to fuck up some hozier i swear to god n jesus.

my spotify is a churning mess. my current daylist is called "pink pilates princess shojo evening", filled with: noise, energetic, fresh, sticky (????!!!!). tell me why xg, chungha, megan thee stallion, and babymetal are on this bitch together.

i drink an exorbitant amount of water a day. i drink between 4-5 litres on a normal day.

my favourite alcoholic drink is a gin and tonic with citrus juice. any citrus, but lime is chefs kiss and grapefruit is bitter in a good way.

i love to cook and bake! you guys already knew that though. i firmly believe that if you have a good understanding of a wide range of techniques, you can make anything you want without needing a recipe. just feel it in your heart n soul.

my top 5 cuisines in the world are thai, mexican and korean tied for 2nd, chinese-filipino, indian, and somali. i love FLAVOUR baby!!! and spice. i just love spice.

my favourite movies are horror movies. me and my one friend pretty much exclusively go out to watch new horror releases. the last one we saw was longlegs. i kind of hated it.

Now I'm curious too: which ones are your 3 favourite cookbooks? ☺️

I should have asked for five! 😄

You’re right, this isn’t easy. I’m going with the three books I use the most - they are different ones than the ones I find the most entertaining to read:

1. Donna Hay’s Seasons. I love her cooking style - it’s never over the top, but always flavourful. Her duck legs with caramelised apples and mash - sooo good. And her bread with marinated spring onions is actually my go-to potluck recipe.

2. David Lebovitz’s The Perfect Scoop. The ice cream bible, as far as I’m concerned. Including all the sauces, toppings, mix ins.

3. Camellia Panjabi’s Great Curries of India. This book has taught me so, so much about Indian cooking. My favourite curry (omelette curry) is from this book.

[coopigeoncoo]

I see your favourite spatula in your bio!

What dishes/meals do you like to cook! Do you have a fave cuisine? A fave type of food?

I'd like to take this opportunity to offer proper appreciation to my favorite spatula. It fits perfectly in my hand, has a single piece construction style so I dobt have to remove the head to clean it, and seems to magically fit the contour of every bowl I own while also being the prettiest spatula I've ever seen.

I swear I'll enter into a mourning period if anything ever happens to this spatula.

As for culinary preferences, I tend to gravitate towards Indian foods and make a lot of curries. This is because my husband and I both love them, but also because rice and Naan are two of the very few foods all of my kids will eat.

But right now I feel like the dish I am most frequently is Shakshuka. It's an easy, single pot recipe that is appropriate for any meal of the day and has become my number one comfort food. I serve it with homemade French bread topped with hummus and it's sooooo incredible.

The most fun I have though is putting together themed dinners and bento for my kids. They never eat more than a bite of them, but I still have fun.

Hi, I am AJ (initials for my first and last name) and though I got into spn fandom via twt, I like tumblr more now because it seems calmer. I sometimes resent that I discovered the fandom after 2019 lol when everyone was moving on lol.

I can move my ears like animals (it is apparently an evolutionary thing like we shouldnt be able to do that but 10% of us can). Also my favourite meal has to be Chhole Bhature and I wish more people knew about it!! My first ever fandom/fiction obsession was Harry Potter.

1 episode of supernatural was banned from airing and another aired with some scenes cut (on cable tv) in my country. Both from the same season. Can you guess which ep/season ?!

None of the information is in any way related but it is what came on top of my head to convery I have no idea why.

ah, the aj is actually an AJ! a small mystery solved 🕵️

the ear thing is wild, I'm very impressed. I hope you have used this skill to impress friends and deter enemies.

I have now googled and Chhole Bhature looks INCREDIBLE, jeeeezus. I think I was told recently that a lot of "Indian" food we get in the States is heavily influenced by southern India/Sri Lanka, so some of the stuff from the north doesn't really appear here. The chickpea curry looks good but the bread looks truly sploosh-worthy. Hot damn. I may have a new recipe to try soon.

based on the chhole I'm going to guess that this is s5, and that the Kali episode got banned, and... hm, maybe the Death episode had scenes cut? This is a wild stab in the dark, lol.

It's all related because it all has to do with AJ! I wish you hadn't come in after 2019 either, because you actually read fics and that makes you a rare bird. :) We just need to cunningly drag people back into the fandom. Next year is going to be the 20 year anniversary of the pilot airing... I'm just saying, a fest...? maybe...?

[definitelynotshouting]

Do not apologise at all for responding late!! Holiday burnout is so real, theres sm to organise so I understand completely 😅. I hope youre getting some rest between xmas and the new year, or that at least whatever you have planned isnt too hard on you :)

I am 100% willing to believe you blessed my flight lmao, hopefully it works on the way back as well :D

Is it weird to say i dont think ive ever had a blackberry before?? Idk i might have had one when i was a kid but when you mentioned the blackberry jam I completely blanked. So um. Hope it was good?

Oh no your cat!! D: Hope he's all better now

YES I WOULD LOVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT MALAYSIAN FOOD!! I would show u pics but um 🧍->🏃‍♂️💨. Ur gonna have to google it king LOL. The first day back my dad and I went out to a mamak stall (basically just a restaurant for malay-chinese-indian food), and I had roti canai (a type of flatbread with curry) and teh tarik, which I have missed dearly. I dont typically like normal english breakfast tea so getting to have authentic teh tarik was SO GOOD. Teh tarik (translating to "pulled tea") is made with condensed milk and gets its name from how after the drink is mixed it gets continuously poured over and over from one container to another until it gets super frothy.

I've also been getting reacquainted with my favourite fruits 🥰 that you cant get in Australia like mangosteen and jambu air (ai-yer). Mangos and dragon fruit you can get in australia but. um. Theyre bad. They just taste like sweet water. Also unfortunately for me rambutan i havent been able to find rambutan 😔😔. Those look similar to lychee but they taste pretty different, less tangy and sweeter.

Ive gone out with a friend to have cendol (c promounced as a "ch") which is a cold desert with coconut milk and rice jelly, along with other toppings should you choose it. Im also in the process of convincing my bff to do a 3h road trip with me specifically for food in a city called Ipoh 😭 wish me luck.

AND, im getting one of my relatives to teach me how to make rendang and char kway teow. The rendang specifically because the one she makes i prefer over what's usually made in restuarants. I think it's a state difference in recipes or smtg? So the ones you'll find in restuarants are KL/Selangor rendang and she makes from Kedah. Thats just a theory tho im not actually sure.

🧍 i realise this ask has become like 70% about food so i apologise. But. In my defense you asked >:) /j

ANYWAY. I hope youve gotten a break from the holiday work or at least have one coming up <33 Take care of yourself; indulge in your cheeses :D

-☀️

SUN ANON HELLOOOOOO im so excited to hear you got those desserts, those sound AMAZING...... also i looked up all the foods you mentioned and MAN THESE LOOK GOOD.... im a shrimp lover im gazing so hard at the char kway teow...... 👀👀👀👀👀 also holy shit these fruits look so cool???? Thats WILD ive literally never heard of these before and im having a lot of fun looking them up online and reading about their flavours and stuff!!!! Incredibly curious about mangosteen, i was not expecting it to be white inside when i looked it up and just like, the contrast of the purplish rind vs the white insides is SO neat to look at, like that feels really good on my eyeballs if that makes sense JSDBEKDNMDD also also teh tarik sounds and looks amazing i want to try that SO bad now omg

Its so funny you say that about blackberries bc where i live we have them literally growing everywhere on the side of the road AKDNWKDNKWDN in the summer when they start putting out fruit one of my roommates will sometimes go out and just pick a bunch for the whole household, and they always taste SOOOOO much better than the store-bought ones. Im genuinely not sure how to describe the taste of blackberry other than like. Its very sweet but also very tart (i go for the slightly less ripe ones tbh bc i prefer tart things to super sweet) at the same time, and sorta pops in your mouth a little bit when you chew it. Honestly its one of my favorite fruits i would highly recommend them if you can find em anywhere!!!!

My resolution this year is a bit silly but i wanted to go for a very fun easy one, so its to use every sticker i own this year :] ive already started by putting a few on the creeper minifridge that my roomie got me for xmas 😂😂😂😂😂😂 and i have some scrapbook ideas as well to use my fancier ones that my friends have gotten me!!!! Also you are so valid about the writing-- tbh if you wrote more than expected then it sounds like you succeeded instead of failed, so thats awesome!!! :DDD

I hope you're doing well on your travels, sun anon!! And when the time comes may your flight back to Australia be as peaceful and pleasant as the one you experienced when you left it :]

curry opinions and favourite curry?

I'm not sure I have any, but if you want me to say something then "curry is a good thing" and "chicken curry with coconut milk (and maybe ginger) is very good." If there are people out there who don't think so, they should eat more Indian food.

(A friend of mine once said he didn't like curries because the vegetables were too strong -- which strikes me as basically saying that one wants chicken soup without actual chicken in it? I guess the idea was that the vegetable ingredients overwhelm everything else?)

The only other time I can remember thinking about this sort of question was when I first discovered the existence of korma. To my American ears at least, "korma" sounded suspiciously close to "corn mah," i.e. corn meatloaf, which seemed like an unfortunate name for a dish even before I knew what korma was.

Then again, my parents used to make "pork fried rice" all the time, until I finally asked them why they never made plain "fried rice". My mom just looked confused, while my father said:

"You know, 'fried rice.' Fried rice. Like from McDonalds or Panda Express."

"No... no! We actually cook our own rice!"

to use instead of microwaving stuff from those places."

"Oh! Well we do that sometimes too."

"Well, how do you get rid of all the pork smell?"

"What?? It doesn't smell like anything; it tastes fine!"

[...]

[My mother] started explaining that she had grown up on Japanese food, where meat almost always has some kind of sauce on top, which covers its distinctive flavor. [...] So she thought having meat on the side would be easier than making several different dishes, each with its own specific sauces. She also said, "We could eat Italian sometimes, since it doesn't taste fishy either." [Our family doesn't really have a tradition around eating fish.]

[...] I tried to explain that in Western cuisine, pork tends to have a very unique, salty taste, especially when well-cooked, and that this makes it hard to mix it into many recipes. But it's difficult to convey these ideas in words alone.

Yet another example of how our worldviews differ depending on whether we grow up eating certain things or not.

Grains break glucose into the bloodstream gradually, meaning there won't be any sudden spikes throughout the day, and energy will be steady.

Barley lowers cholesterol, improves blood sugar regulation, and contains a substantial amount of fiber. You can add a grain that is good for diabetes to your diet by eating it as a nutritious soup or Upma.

5. Brown Rice

Brown Rice has more fiber and vital minerals because it keeps its bran, unlike white rice. It is a wonderful choice for diabetics because of its modest glycaemic index and compatibility with Indian recipes.

6. Quinoa Seeds

Quinoa is technically a seed, but it's often classified with grains because of its high nutritional values. It is rich in protein, fiber, and essential amino acids, thus great for blood sugar control and an improved longer feeling of fullness.

Amaranth is high in protein and fiber, so it really can satisfy your need to balance blood sugar levels. Rajgira is high in antioxidants, which improve the body's general health and give your diet a crucial nutritional boost.

8. Buckwheat

10. Oats

Top Varieties of Indian Basmati Rice and Their Unique Properties

Indian Basmati rice is renowned for its unmatched aroma, unique texture, and global appeal. From traditional dishes like biryani to international cuisines, this rice is a culinary treasure that enhances every meal. Whether you are a chef, a home cook, or a buyer, understanding the distinctive properties of Basmati rice can help you make the right choice for your needs.

Basmati rice, often referred to as the “King of Rice,” has its heritage rooted in the foothills of the Himalayas. The grain is known for its elongated structure, soft texture, and distinctive aroma that intensifies even more when cooked.

India dominates the global Basmati rice market, owing to its commitment to quality and heritage farming practices. Consumers around the world love Basmati for its unmatched cooking properties and versatility in recipes.

Traditional Basmati Rice Varieties

Indian farmers have preserved traditional Basmati rice varieties for centuries, ensuring that their premium quality is retained.

1121 Basmati Rice

Known for its extra-long grains, 1121 Basmati is a favourite for festive dishes like biryani and pilaf. Its shape and delicate aroma after cooking make it a great choice for a delicious meal.

Pusa Basmati Rice

A modern take on the traditional Basmati, Pusa is a hybrid variety that balances high yields and short cooking time with authenticity. Its refined aroma and smooth texture make it a versatile choice for everyday use and special occasions.

These traditional varieties are the essence of Indian rice heritage, ensuring global acclaim for their excellent qualities.

New-age Basmati Hybrid Varieties

As the global demand for Indian rice grows, hybrid Basmati varieties have emerged to meet diverse consumer requirements.

Sharbati Basmati Rice Sharbati is an economical alternative to traditional Basmati, offering a soft texture and mildly sweet flavour. It is particularly popular among families for daily meals, combining quality with affordability.

Mogra Basmati Rice Mogra, a broken rice variety, retains the classic aroma of Basmati while being budget-friendly. It is often preferred by restaurants and large-scale caterers for its cost efficiency and authentic taste.

These hybrids exemplify how Indian rice manufacturers are adapting to global demands by providing high-quality options at various price points.

Basmati Rice vs. Non-Basmati Rice

Understanding the difference between Basmati and Non-Basmati rice can guide buyers towards making informed choices.

Basmati rice is characterised by its long, thin grain, floral fragrance, and non-stickiness when cooked. It is prized for premium cuisine, where its presentation and aroma take centre stage.

In contrast, non-basmati rice, with its smaller grains and neutral aroma, is suitable for everyday meals and desserts. While it is more affordable, it lacks the luxurious appeal of basmati.

This distinction is important for buyers who want quality grains for specific culinary applications.

Factors Affecting Basmati Rice Quality

Selecting high-quality basmati rice requires understanding the factors that contribute to its premium nature.

Aging: Aged basmati rice is typically stored for 1-2 years, developing a richer flavor and firmer texture when cooked.

Cultivation Region: Rice grown in the foothills of the Himalayas benefits from fertile soil and pure water, enhancing its quality.

Processing Standards: Proper dehusking and polishing techniques preserve the natural characteristics of basmati rice, ensuring superior taste and appearance.

Authenticity can also be verified through certifications such as Geographical Indication (GI) tags, which confirm the origin and standard of rice.

Indian Basmati rice continues to dominate global markets due to its rich history, unique properties, and versatility. From the iconic 1121 Basmati to affordable hybrids such as Sharbati, each variety serves a different purpose, catering to diverse tastes and culinary traditions.

For buyers, whether they are large-scale importers or individual consumers, choosing authentic Indian Basmati ensures not just a meal, but an experience of culinary excellence.

Doughnuts, or donuts as some would insist upon. The classic sugar covered doughy goodness beloved by all. Well, some people don't like them, but they are usually recaptured pretty quickly. Anyway, we all know what they are, but do the rest of the world share the same tastes. We look at some of the wonderful and weird examples available around the globe. Bomboloni A traditional Italian recipe, the Bomboloni is made from a type of pastry called bomba (bomb). It could be due to the resemblance to an old fashioned bomb, or possibly a reference to the high calorie density i.e. a calorie bomb. They are a filled doughnut with chocolate, custard and jam amongst others. Berliner A Berliner Pfannkuchen is a traditional German pastry similar to a doughnut made from sweet yeast dough made with eggs, milk and butter then fried in fat or oil with a marmalade or jam filling and icing or powdered sugar topping. Sometimes they are made with champagne, mocha, advocaat or chocolate. They are traditionally a new years eve treat though they can be purchased throughout the year. A common practical joke is to fill them with mustard and serve them together with regular Berliners. Jelebi A Middle Eastern/Indian/North African snack made from deep fried maida flour then soaked in sugar syrup. They are somewhat chewy with a crystallised sugar coating. Traditionally served with curd or rabri. They were traditionally given to the poor during Ramadan and there are cookbooks dating back to the 10th century with recipes for them. Also eaten in the Indian subcontinent were they are served with condensed milk or vegetable curry. Churros A traditional snack in Spain and Portugal. They are served with hot chocolate, and can be plain or filled with chocolate, jam, custard etc. Their origins are unclear, with one theory being they were brought from China by Portuguese explorers. Another being they were invented by Spanish shepherds being easy to fry over open fires in the mountains. Sufganiyot An Israeli treat, nowadays very similar to the Berliner, though cooked in schmaltz due to kashrut laws. Traditionally they were made from two rings of dough surrounding a jelly filling then fried in one piece. Although this method is still used, they are more often made like the Berliner, a ball of dough with the filling injected. They can also be stuffed with chocolate, truffle, dulce de leche and topped with a variety from coconut shavings to liquors and fruit pastes. Youtiao Doughnuts Looking more like Churros than traditional doughnuts, the Chinese Youtiao is a golden brown, deep fried strip of dough. Common in China and other South East Asian cuisines. Traditionally lightly salted and made to be torn in two, they are a breakfast treat, and accompany rice congee, soy milk or milk blended with sugar. Legend has it that they are a protest against the Song Dynasty official Qin Hui who allegedly plotted to frame the general Yue Fei, an iconic patriot in China. The treat represents Qin Hui and his wife collaborating to bring about the generals downfall. They were supposedly first made in the shape of two humans before evolving into their current form. Beignets  Common in France, and French influenced areas such as New Orleans they date back to the time of Ancient Rome. Though the practice of deep frying dough goes back to at least the 5th Century BC. They can be made with choux pastry or yeast pastry, and are commonly served at breakfast with powdered sugar and served hot and fresh. An Doughnut A Japanese doughnut, made from deep fried dough filled with red bean paste. This dates from around 1983 so is a relative baby in the doughnut world. Oliebol One of our favourite doughnuts hailing from that super laid back super friendly country of Holland. They are like a dumpling, made with an ice cream scoop of dough, dropped into a deep fryer with hot oil. This provides a spherical shaped doughnut popular at funfairs and traditionally eaten on New Years Eve. They can be injected with a variety of jams, custard chocolate etc, and are usually topped with sugar. Sel Roti Doughnuts Hailing from the mountain kingdom of Nepal. The sel roti is a traditional home made ring shaped treat made from rice flour. Unique to Nepal, they are made mainly for the Nepali celebrations of the Tihar and Dashain festivals.  Balushahi Made from a mix of flour, ghee and baking soda, these are fried in ghee or oil then dunked in a thick sugar syrup. Sweet but flaky they are a staple in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala and Kamataka. Koeksister Doughnuts A traditional Afrikaner fried dough infused with honey or syrup. Made from plated dough strips that are deep fried in oil then submerged into ice cold sugar syrup. They have a liquid syrup centre and a golden crunchy crust. Very sticky and sweet. They were traditionally baked to raise funds for the building of schools and churches. There are literally dozens of variations of doughnuts around the world, all delicious. Read the full article
