#but that was a LOT of butter I used

[phoenixiancrystallist]

I'm on fire tonight, I even did a cook! :D

Ingredients:

1 pound peeled and de-veined raw shrimp

1 whole stick of butter (approximately 1/2 cup or 1/4 pound)

2 tablespoons of minced garlic

5 stalks of green onions from our window onion garden, probably about 1/4-1/3 cup chopped

1 can mushrooms

1 can bamboo shoots

1 can water chestnuts

Black pepper to taste

2 drizzles of teriyaki sauce (drizzle approximately equal to a tablespoon? Maybe? Idk I eyeballed it lol)

1 drizzle soy sauce

1 bag of shredded Parmesan and Romano cheese blend

(not visible) Stovetop rice (2 1/2 cups water, 1/2 stick butter, 1 cup rice, salt)

In an effort to create an actual recipe, my steps were as follows:

Make your stove top rice however you normally make that (I boil the water, butter, and salt then add the rice and simmer for 18 minutes, you might have a better method, do what makes your heart sing)

While rice is happening, in a large pan melt 1 stick of butter over a medium heat

Add garlic and onions, saute them for about a minute, then add your mushrooms, bamboo, and water chestnuts

Stir around your veggies to ensure they're coated in the butter, adding black pepper, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce

Add shrimp, cover, and cook for approximately 12 minutes or however long it takes for the shrimp to get cooked all the way through, stirring occasionally to prevent burning/sticking

Remove tails from shrimp (optional; placed here bc I find removing the tails easier after the shrimp is cooked)

Dump in cheese

Mix mix mix until the cheese and butter-sauce becomes a cheesy butter sauce

Serve over rice

Enjoy!

Makes probably about four servings, as a rough guestimate.

Might forego the cheese next time and see how that turns out, but this is nicely tasty :)

Ushijima has a total listening count of approximately 100,000 minutes for the year on Spotify. He only has one song on his Spotify wrapped - he likes its beat and one specific melody. It is 3 minutes long. The artist is not well known. It is the worst song Tendou has ever heard in his life.

Ushijima replays the song as soon as a distraught Tendou finishes looking at his Spotify wrapped.

I find the episode “Going Native” so interesting because South Park perfectly encapsulated the continuous settler colonisation that mainland Americans inflict on the island of Hawai’i, as well as exposing the stereotypes that are reinforced against the indigenous population.

The episode starts off with Butters being so uncharacteristically angry, beating up a kid for having diabetes and calling out most of his friends for their self proclaimed expertise, their self-centred nature, their selfishness and cowardice. He carries this anger with him, even when talking to his parents, despite the fact he is usually incredibly obedient and scared of what they might do to him otherwise.

His parents “understand” where this anger is coming from and explain that it is because he is “different” and not from this place but “native” to Hawai’i and that is why he is experiencing these angry and violent spells.

While Butters is not a native Hawaiian, he is presented that way for the plot of the episode and this is when harmful and racist stereotypes of indigenous peoples are reinforced by the foreigners. Natives have historically been seen as angry, selfish and violent “savages”, people unwilling to “share” their land and therefore result to killing and warfare. In terms of Hawaiians specifically, they were painted as people who were uncivilised to rule and often times depicted as caricatures in the press to justify the colonisation of the island.

Not only that, but we also see the bastardisation and co-optation of native Hawaiian culture by foreigners. Use of phrases like “ancient ruins”, the display of making Kenny do a “trial” on a surfboard when Hawaiian are well known voyagers and the very idea of Butters having a “coming of age” ceremony all points to the practise of foreigners “enjoying Hawaiian culture.” However, the culture is often a westernised version of traditional practises. A real life example of this is the “classic” portrayal of a hula dance with a sexualised woman wearing a coconut bra, when in reality the Hula is steeped in Hawaiian folklore and history. It is the same in the episode, with the use of native terminology but in reality these “rituals” and “ancient ruins” were just cheaper copies of tradition.

The biggest take away from this episode is the amount of native Hawaiians that are shown as working for the foreigners that are living and exploiting their land. In the airport, at the food places, as security in the residence. They have to stand there and take people saying they are “native”, flashing their awards card that “proves” they’re “local” while the indigenous people are forced to work for their colonisers. It’s a direct reflection of life in Hawai’i for the natives. A large number of the population live in poverty, with many needing to work in resorts in order to survive, despite the fact that these resorts are taking their native land and making it hard for them to live at home. Pricing them out of their native land.

This episode may be fun, it might focus on two fan favourite characters, but it also gives a good insight on settler colonialism.

[ask-marj]

Did Marj ever fall into a goth/emo/scene (whichever the author prefers) phase? And if so, did Kenny like it?

Yes...

...yes...

...and yes.

I sorta went through a lot a phases when I was figurin' things out.

As for Kenny's thoughts...

He told me I needed to stop tryin' so hard to fit into these categories. Cuz if I could just be myself, then, well,

That'd be his favorite version of me.

There's something so insane to me about being able to create and recreate vintage or even ancient music, clothes, fabrics, building architecture, anything, really.

I watched this video about a lady who knit a WWII-era vest, and it was really unique, because the cable work would eat up yarn, when there were shortages of fibers. This pattern would have likely been used by people to send overseas to soldiers, and now it's being created in a time where this war has been over for generations. What were the people making this pattern thinking of? What about the people making the vest? Could they fathom a world where world wars didn't happen back to back? Could they imagine what peace felt like, or did it fade like a distant memory, a faint friend? All we have now are the remnants of their efforts, a "simple" vest that would warm the bodies of countless people the knitter would never have imagined were here on earth with them.

We're reaching across time to learn about other people - we're reaching our hands out just to grasp anything tangible. And when we've take hold of something, all we can do is say I love you I love you I love you

Thinking about how good the stock I made this weekend was and shedding a single tear

[blossoms-phan]

this is going to make me sound so insane and parasocial but my family used to live in the uk and sometimes I really miss specific things like the food/snacks/gen grocery stuff bc it’s still pretty familiar to me so sometimes I’ll just go on the tesco website and browse like im doing my normal grocery shopping and think “hm I wonder what dnp buy on the regular”

he's from ireland and "obsessed with america" but apparently can't contextually understand the term "trash talk", has no idea what dodgeball is, and has never tasted peanut butter?????

i swear the writers of glee think ireland is one giant potato farm where no one has a tv or a shop

I like to make like, super rich and concentrated hot chocolate on the stove so I can store it in my fridge and then like, dilute it a bit, reheat it and it's the perfect richness balance for whatever I'm feeling that day. It's one of those things i don't really measure ingredients for because it's very difficult to do it wrong- it's just about making sure you like the taste. So, uh, I got distracted while I was making it (because i have a mouse in the walls of my apartment and a dog who loses his mind every time he hears said mouse and insists on telling me about it) and long story short there is like a gallon of hot cocoa concentrate in my fridge now whoops

top tip to spruce up eating porridge for age regressors! (or anyone who likes porridge)

get some drizzly honey (the ones in squirty bottles) and draw a shape on top of your porridge!

it disappears pretty quickly but it's a fun way to start breakfast especially if you're struggling to :D

i challenge myself to do a different picture everytime, but my favourites are definitely snails and hearts!!!

if you try this reblog with a picture of your creation :))
