Bamya

baba made bamia today :D

one of my favourite dishes and the food of all time. bamia btw is okra stew made with red tomato sauce and meat (lamb). also i was starving so it tasted more glorious lol.

anyway i randomly remembered stumbling across staggering quantities of bamia hate a few years back?? i was shook to say the least. behold a poll:

for statistical accuracy; if u love okra in general but as a dish other than the aformentioned stew pls choose the third option thank u :)

also! if this dish is also one in your cuisine please share! my 2 minute google research gave me answers only from MENA but afaik cultures all over the globe more often than not share dishes, albeit more local.

hopped onto reddit (as one does) and browsed a few threads. returned with a few gems lol:

the arabic reads: id rather eat shit with oil than eat bamia. ouch lol

mlochia is another somewhat controversial dish lol. aka jews mallow, and ewedu. its essentially green leaf soup. uncle iroh would love it

this one was too fucking funny not to include. the makhratta btw is a mezzaluna knife. in jordan its typically prepared as soup, but in my family we also eat it the lebanese way; leaf stew no blending.

ok anyway in completely unrelated news i made a sourdough starter and got teff flour so hopefully in a couple of days (I'll probably rush it my first time making it) I'm gonna make injera. idk what to have it with but I'm gonna make bamia at some point so those two might line up.

i love cooking and learning about food from around the world it's great, sometimes I'll tell my gf what I'm having for dinner and she'll tell me she's never heard of it and i want to sit her parents down and lecture them on the monotony of the anglo australian diet and the value of spices and vegetables.

ah yes, abu adolf bin hitler.

in case yall didnt know, he was:

muslim from the islamic state of zamzam

arab from warak inab (dawali)*

palestinian; falafel village in east hummus was his birthplace

he was the one responsible for the holocaust, and he is a disgrace to all of humanity, especially us warak inabians.

i myself am from the city of baytinjan of maqlubeh, and we all denounce and despise him like the hidden cardamom pod in our rice

*not to be confused with dolma, yabrak or yalanji.

If this doesnt yell that Satanyahu has a boner for hitler idk what does. They are copying everything the nazi germany did. Thats why I will be saying forever that israel is the new nazi germany and zionists are nazies.

Nobody in their right mind woud be defending hitler, ever. There will be day when israel has to pay for what they have done.

Bamia / Egyptian Okra Stew (Vegan)

[obsessioncollector]

I was here from the beginning of history—I mean year after year, fifty years, sixty years; numbers do not make a difference in the span of time. But as a human being I am a dot; rather, a comma on a new line and in a new paragraph. However, what was written on the first line in the past remains with us like history, and so do memories, our childhood memories, and our old photos taken before the wrinkles, before the downward movement of the lines in our faces and the dimming of the twinkle in our eyes.

what if ... what if, to start the new year off on the right note ... what if diluc let kaeya cook for him and they had dinner together and talked about anything and everything, like brothers do ... what if ...

( kaeya showing up to the angel's share with some homemade bamia that smells like heaven on earth and a hopeful look on his face is mere coincidence, of course ... )

angel share’s patrons had forsaken the warmth of the tavern for the eventide chill of cobblestone and moonlight, the festivities had reached their crescendo and tempered to a soft hum of stragglers as they decided it was time to also head home.  home , it had always been a raw sentiment when it came to times like these. diluc ascertained to keep himself busied, lest he be towed into rumination of a past that could not be changed. instinctively his eyes dart to the door as the bell chimes and in strolls the cavalry captain. there should have been that customary sliver of annoyance that simmered within him when their eyes met and yet, on this night, it’s absent.  perhaps, he has grown weary with the sentimentality of others or perhaps - he is as lonely as adeline had surmised he was.   there would always be a vacuous aperture where family had once resided, a wound that could not entirely heal ; the sort that ached when his brother would laugh or smile things that invoked memories of a past lost to them. “  it’s late kaeya.”  he said,  his voice a soft reprimand.  then he allows himself a moment of silence to truly witness his brother. to stand in that door, a solitary plastic bag hanging limp upon his wrist and a smile -  that felt so unlike the confidence he mantled himself with - it made diluc hesitate.                                                      he had made them dinner.

a long time ago they had shared evenings like this often, banter of youth sonorous through the halls as their father would chide them, reminding them that the more they spoke the less they would eat. family,  how much it had meant to the both of them.  

“  shall we eat together.”   It’s an olive branch that both had always wanted to extend yet neither could muster.  from behind the bar he secures a bottle of mondstadt’s finest wine, brewed at the very place their father had called home.   “  for the sake of the festivities.  this will be the only one.”

to return home once more with kaeya in tow felt familiar. to get to speak finally over what seethed in the dark water between them, to begin to heal that which had festered for far too long - if only in the capacity of a single evening.
