Georgian Salad with Creamy Walnut Dressing (Vegan)

Georgian food is great though (this is a Khatchapuri).

[potahties]

I tried to make a Georgian dish for the first time today and I am so satisfied with the result!😌 Chkmeruli turned out exactly the same as I had it in Georgian restaurants, which is a definite success.🎉

Also thoughts and prayers for people to whom cilantro tastes like soap.🙏🌱

Op with all due respect, as a Georgian, I am obligated to point out that no greens belong on a khachapuri!

The 'classic' version of Khachapuri is also round and looks like this:

What you have in the photo is the shape of Adjarian Khachapuri, which, again, has an egg but no greens! Sometimes people add a bit of butter once it's out of the oven. It looks like this:

I enjoy watching Zurab cooking, but watching him suffering from trying different food is priceless. Here is he at the International Dumpling Festival in Poland last year, "The festival I would never forget".

It's in Russian, but there are prices in USD and everything is pretty understandable.

Also Georgian cuisine is something and i love it.

Persian Miku!?

In traditional Mazani clothing from persia!  

More info⬇️⬇️

Mazandaran province  is one of the 31 provinces of Iran. Its capital is the city of Sari . Located along the southern coast of the Caspian Sea and in the adjacent Central Alborz mountain range.Mazandaran is a major producer of farmed fish, and aquaculture provides an important economic addition to traditional dominance of agriculture. Another important contributor to the economy is the tourism industry, as people from all of Iran enjoy visiting the area.

Language: The population is overwhelmingly Mazandarani, with a minority of Gilaks, Azerbaijanis, Kurds, Georgians, Armenians, Circassians, Turkmen  and others, Mazandarani people have a background in Tabari ethnicity and speak Mazandarni.

Culture( literature) : In the Persian epic, Shahnameh, Mazandaran is mentioned in two different sections. The first mention is implicit, when Fereydun sets its capital in a city called Tamishe near Amol:

بیاراست گیتی بسان بهشت.................... به جای گیا سرو گلبن بکشت

از آمل گذر سوی تمیشه کرد .............. نشست اندر آن نامور بیشه کرد

And when Manuchehr is returning to Fereydun's capital, Tamisheh in Mazandaran (known as Tabarestan), after his victory over Salm and Tur.

Arash the Archer  is a heroic archer-figure of Iranian mythology. According to Iranian folklore, the boundary between Iran and Turan was set by an arrow launched by Arash, after he put his own life in the arrow's launch. The arrow was traveling for days before finally landing on the other side of the Oxus on the bark of a walnut tree hundreds of miles away from the original launch site atop a mountain

Music and dance:

Music in this region relates to the lifestyle of the inhabitants, and the melodies revolve around issues such as the forests, cultivation or farming activities and herding. The most famous dance of this area is the Shomali dance, not forgetting the stick dance that the men perform. Popular music in the province, known as the Taleb and Zohre, Amiri Khani and Katuli.

Cuisine :

The cuisine of the province is very rich in seafood due to its location by the Caspian Sea, and rice is present in virtually every meal. Mazandarani cuisine is diverse between regions; the cuisine of coastal regions is different from mountainous regions, as people in the Alborz usually use the indigenous herbs and coastal people use the dishes of fish and Caspian Mazandaran rice with vegetables.

I just saw another "Jews stole Palestinian culture!" commentator, and I'm just... I'm gonna lose it.

Here's the deal. Here's the straight dope, as my uncle used to say.

At the end of the day, Palestinian culture is a fairly standard post-Ottoman Arabic Muslim culture in terms of cuisine, dress, cultural norms and mores, religious observance, holidays, and other such aspects. They are, to draw a comparison to the US, as different from Lebanon's Arabic Muslims or Jordan's Arabic Muslims, or Iraq's Arabic Muslims, as White Iowans are from White Georgians or White Arizonians. Yes, there are regional cultural differences, but in the end, they have more in common than they have different in terms of culture. There is no Truly Unique Palestinian Culture That Belongs To Them And Them Alone And Is Distinguishable From All Other Arabic Muslims. Keffiyehs? Worn all through the region. Shakshuka? Chummus? Schwarma? All eaten regionally. Holidays? Standard Islamic. Language? Standard Arabic. Etcetera and so forth.

HOWEVER.

There is one thing that makes them different. And it's the part that does truly distinguish them, sadly.

It is how, because their fathers/grandfathers/great-grandfathers were standing in the wrong place in 1948, they were and /continue to be/ rejected by their fellow Arabs. They were deliberately and maliciously isolated by the rest of the Arabic world from support, succor, and brotherhood for the last 80 years. And, at the same time, their rage at that rejection has been cultivated by the people who refused to take them in, and deliberately targeted at Israel, in order to be used as weapons against the Jews.

And /that/ is the unique, identifying thing about Palestinian culture, and it makes me sick. Not out of disgust at the people, but at what's been DONE to them. They've been made into a society that worships death and martyrdom, a culture that views their children as little different than the rocks they throw and the bullets they fire. We've seen it again and again, Palestinian children being taught that their highest goal in life is to kill a (((Zionist))). We've seen parents /push/ their children in front of IDF vehicles and soldiers. This is how they're raised, this is what they're taught is GOOD. Three generations of abuse and indoctrination, being used as weapons against Jews by their fellow Arabs, because Allah Forbid that the Jews come home and be free, and not be dhimmis.

The /entire Arabic world/ failed to Walk Away From Omelas; they all /chose/ to start this and perpetuate it for most of the last /century/. And what did the Arabic world at large get out of it? Not the destruction of Israel, no. No, they got five million angry, radicalized, traumatized Palestinians, and ten million angry, radicalized, and traumatized Israelis. They got Black September in Jordan, they got the Iraqi invasion in Kuwait, they got chaos, they got death, because /that/ is what they taught and cultivated in the Palestinians, even as they shoved them into perpetual refugee camps and UNRWA to be kept apart and indoctrinated to kill and die in the name of destroying Israel.

That is what Palestinian culture is, in terms of difference from the rest of the Arab world, and I am horrified.

I am horrified at what was done to these people, and what was stolen from them by the people who claimed to be helping them.

I am also horrified (and insulted) at the suggestion that I and the rest of Am Yisrael would want to steal such a destructive mindset. It is antithetical to Pikuach Nefesh and L'Chaim. But it is not as if the Western Leftists who believe that would understand even that degree of nuance--and, lets be honest, a lot of THEM also come from death-glorifying cultures, worshiping Oily Josh.

We don't want it, not for ourselves, and not for them.

And I wish to their hell that they would understand that.

Not Kafka related again, sorry (you don’t have to keep responding to these if it starts to 'spam' your page). This is a response to your Georgia response a few days ago 👍

– Have you ever considered leaving Georgia? Or is it actually a nice country outside of the political rifle? What are some cultural things you like / find interesting about your country? If 'yes' to the first, what nation?

It is a great country and I love it very much (all the people I love are here soo) but obviously Ive considered moving abroad because even though I love the nature, people, culture, it's very difficult financially and politically. I don't have any specific country in mind just some European country probably. I (and many young people) often feel trapped because there's just no support from the state (like its a surprise if you find someone who doesn't have a loan from the bank). Barely any jobs, low wages, ridiculously high prices and on top of that we have an illegitimate government which is day by day taking away our rights and independence.

So as you can see the problem is the government and their politics, so we just have to get rid of them. The country itself is really great. We have great nature (we have the sea, mountains, some sort of desert too, whatever you like lol). The culture itself is really interesting, its not a homogeneous thing and every region has its unique culture with its unique traditions and food. Georgian cuisine is very rich. Even eating food, the way its served and the way its eaten is itself part of the culture.

I love that because we are kinda on the border of Europe and Asia, we have mix of these cultures and we have bits of this and that from everywhere.

Also, oldest evidence of wine production was discovered in Georgia (6000 BC) soo thats cool!

For me Georgia's history is really interesting too because it has always been the target of multiple empires and its pure luck (or just pure spite) that we are still here lol. Georgian literature is also fascinating (literally one of my favorite things). What I love about Georgian literature is how many women are heroes of the story or how important they are in the story. [you have activated my special interest, prepare for infodumping lol]

One of the oldest Georgian texts is from 5th century about a woman martyr called Shushanik and how she refused to give up her faith just to be spared by the enemy Empire (she was a nobility and her husband converted so he would get more influence and wanted her to convert too). The way these people are portrayed in the story and the way it is written, even though its in old Georgian and even though you don't understand half of the words, its a very interesting read and it feels very modern idk how to explain it😅.

There's another text, 12th century poem The knight in the panther's skin, where it's explicitly said that women and men are equal and they should be judged by their merits not their gender + it lowkey says "we love God obviously but loving each other is the real deal". The rumor is that the author of this poem was in love with then king Tamar (she was the ruler of Georgia back then) and he dedicated this poem to her.

I realize ive written too much… but anyways there's a lot of things I love about my country, its culture, history, literature all of it it very interesting and worth checking out! Tripadvisor should hire me now lol

There can never be too many tomatoes. August’s heat is always made more bearable for me by peak tomato season. I love to eat them cut into thick rounds and topped on crusty well-buttered toasted bread, or chopped small in a simple Israeli salad alongside cucumber and herbs. By this time of year, I end up with way more tomatoes from the garden and the market than I could possibly use up in sandwiches and salads alone. I’ll use the extra tomatoes to make sauce, but I also like to find a few more creative ways to take advantage of the bounty of summer.

Stuffed vegetables of all kinds were regularly made and eaten in our home, just as they are in many other Russian Jewish kitchens. Stuffed cabbage, stuffed peppers, and stuffed mushrooms are regional staples. As I’ve explored and learned to cook the food of the former Soviet Union and of my family, Georgian cuisine has always stood out for its uniqueness. Georgia’s food is an intersection of cuisines from the Caucuses, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, due to Georgia’s location on the Eastern edge of the Black Sea, north of Turkey, and south of Russia. Ingredients like hot peppers and Ajika (a hot sauce made out of them), fenugreek, and pomegranate molasses appear in Georgian dishes alongside more familiar Eastern European staples such as beets, cabbage, dill, and mushrooms. Georgian cuisine also benefits from its climate and terrain, which is extremely conducive to agriculture. The country is known for its wine and vast variety of food products including grains, melons, potatoes, and much more.

Each region in Georgia has its own distinctive and rich cuisine. One of my favorite books on Georgian cooking is Carla Capalbo’s Tasting Georgia, A Food And Wine Journey in the Caucasus. Capalbo offers an encyclopedic account of Georgian cuisine, filled with detailed history and delicious recipes. I especially love her recipe for stuffed tomatoes. With her recipe as a guide, and inspired by a few other Georgian stuffed tomato recipes, over time I’ve adapted the dish to my taste and simplified some of the steps.

What makes this stuffed tomato unique is the addition of the herb fenugreek, which adds a complex and almost curry-like flavor to the tomatoes. You can find fenugreek at most Middle Eastern and Persian markets, or online. The stuffing is made of earthy garlicky sautéed mushrooms, rice, and fresh parsley and dill. The tomatoes are nestled into a simple aromatic sauce, and then each one is topped with mozzarella that gets melty and burnished in the oven. This dish is substantial enough to be served as a vegetarian main course, but it is not too rich, and could easily be served as a side dish to a heartier meal. Like any good stuffed food, these taste even better when they’re reheated the next day.

thinking about my version of Jonathan Crane

A few headcanons based somewhat on my own experiences as a Georgian psychology student lmao

He grew up in north Georgia in a small, rural town nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains

He completed his undergrad psychology degree in Georgia; he wanted desperately to go out of state but couldn't afford to do so at the time. This motivated him to complete his bachelor's degree in only two years.

He ended up in Gotham for his PhD since the university there was happy to provide him ample funding for research on top of a hefty stipend.

For the most part, he's managed to suppress his accent. It still comes out on a few words (or if he's had a bit to drink)

There is very little that he misses about the south, but he does miss the cuisine dearly. Turns out it is incredibly difficult to find proper sweet tea in Gotham

He's not one for cooking--his diet consists of black coffee, cigarettes, and whatever is convenient.

His research started off as relatively normal (key word: *relatively*)--his PhD thesis was over neural activity during fear conditioning.

His motivation for getting his MD was to conduct more invasive research on the brain in response to fear.

The being said, he is not actually licensed to practice medicine. He never went through residency. Mainly due to his appalling bedside manner. It was bad enough that he nearly got kicked out of the program--he was allowed to stay on the condition that he didn’t apply to residency and used his degree solely for research.

Arkham, being the corrupt institution it is, turned a blind eye to this and allowed him to practice psychiatry anyway.

It wasn't until after he finished his MD that he began developing the fear toxin--he initially developed it as a tool for aversion therapy at Arkham

He'd always been someone with low empathy and antisocial tendencies and dealing with test subjects has only made this worse. Even during grad school, he had a reputation for being unnecessarily harsh with his subjects and got in trouble with the ethics board more than once.

((it doesn't help that a lot of his subjects were only there for extra credit in their intro psych courses. Nothing angers him more than people who can't follow simple directions--it messes up the data))

Cannot stand when people assume psychology is all Freud. Thinks he was full of shit (he is correct in this assumption). He's much more of a B.F. Skinner enjoyer.

Crane has always been a high-strung, neurotic man. Initially, exposure to his toxin worsened this, but over time, it ended up dulling his fear response. After he realized this he began using the toxin recreationally just to experience fear again, eventually developing a dependence.

He is a deeply sadistic man. Interpret that as you wish.

anyway that's all for now <3

[pomefioredove]

Heyyyy if you are still open to some more matchups can I request a romantic one? You can pick anyone Students, Staff, or RSA/Noble Bell college people, i don't care either way. I really just want to know who you think fits me personality-wise best lol. 

Ok, so I guess I’ll tell you my appearance first, I’m 169cm so like 5’6, I’ve got very very curly reddish brown hair, and blue eyes that look purple to gray depending on the light. I have a lot of tattoos. Started with a stick and poke piece when I was 13 and have kept getting them even years later. I joke that instead of a sleeve I have a pair of pants, both my legs are covered in tattoos, one side black and the other color. People always tell me I'm incredibly easy to spot in a crowd. Pronouns are She/Her and my voice is kind of low and monotone maybe a bit husky.

As for hobbies... I love Boxing and MMA, I’ve been doing it competitively for a few years so I can comfortably say I can kick most people's ass. food is a bit of a love language for me so I cook pretty often and try a lot of different cuisines (current fav is Georgian, you have to try Khachapuri it's soooo good). I used to sing and play the drums though it's been a while so I'm probably not too great anymore. You know how some people listen to music for the lyrics while other people listen for the beat? I definitely listen more for the sound, I don't care what the song is about just how the sounds flow together... which is why I mostly listen to music in foreign languages, don't need to understand to lyrics to enjoy the beat.

My interests are mostly low key I like to study languages but I don't really try to become fluent just conversational i guess. I'm more inclined to learn about the aspects of a language than the grammar and stuff. Reading horror and what I like to call weird fiction. I love finding books that are a little odd the best example of this that I can think of is "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewsk. I really like weird things, normal things that have been a little twisted and made up in new ways if you get what I mean.

As for my personality... ugh I think I'm probably an acquired taste... it sounds bad but like I'm a really difficult person to get close to. I just don't trust easily and I'm not someone who entertains too much small talk without reason. An example is the fact I've known people for five+ years and still don't really consider them friends. Sure we hang out but like they don't know me and I don't know them. I'm just kind of prickly, with a major resting bitch face too. Though to make up for this I'm incredibly loyal. Once we've actually become friends there's nothing I wouldn't do for them. If they need help hiding a body I'm not gonna ask questions just gonna bring a shovel, take out for two, and tickets out of the country.

Oh and a current project of mine is to reverse-engineer a printer so that i can stick it to shitty corporations who think its reasonable to make you pay a subscription to use a printer that I ALREADY PAID FOR!! That last bit was mostly because i need to print out an essay of mine and I had to dust of the printer i haven't used in forever only to be met with a error message saying i had to pay my subscription to use the thing ugghh. So now i need to actually learn how to a soldering gun.

Sorry if my ramblings don't make much sense, I really don't think about myself too much so trying to describe myself was like insanely hard. Thank you!!!!!!!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

I match you with 𝐑𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐡𝐢

The First Impression:

Okay. His honest, true, first thought? You smell good. You smell like spices and warmth, so much so that he forgets what he's doing to turn in your direction.

Why He Fell:

"Prickly" and "hard to get close to" aren't terms in Ruggie's dictionary. He would crawl into a sewer if he thought he'd get something worthwhile out of it, and, hey- to him, you're pretty worthwhile!

He may or may not trail behind you like a lost puppy for a little while, at least until you take pity on him and give the poor thing a good meal. But, like with most stray animals, feeding him only brings him back.

Over time (and a few meals), Ruggie starts to bond with you on a more personal level. He'll ask about each of your tattoos, let you ramble to him about whatever it is you're working on, and take little notes on how sharp and crafty you are in the meantime.

The Relationship:

Ruggie has absolutely no shame. Will gladly eat every single thing you make him without even asking what it is, all while dousing you with compliments about it. If making people food is your love language, then eating food is his.

You're just really nice to have around, right? And hey, your beat-em-up skills definitely don't hurt! He's a scrawny guy, he can appreciate standing behind some muscle. He also finds the way you understand sound, in both music and language, to be fascinating, especially considering how sensitive most beastmen's ears are. He can relate to how you describe it.

He's never one to judge, either, so take your time getting comfortable around him! He'd never admit it, but he's pretty much the same way- it takes a lot to actually get his walls down. You can do it together, huh?
