Book Club hamid • 2 hours ago • 100%

Let's restart the book club! I think instead of picking one book and sticking with it we should post what we are currently reading and do book report threads. The goal is to create recommendations on what to read and hopefully one of the other members will read and add to the thread. I have a few ideas but nothing firm, please add some more ideas 1. Biweekly Short Story Club - Pick a short story and read it and post discussion in the threads 2. Monthly themes? 3. A standard book club report template? 4. Don't change anything and just restart? Let me know what you think!

no-dairy Sheer Khurma recipe Preparation time: 10 mins |Cooking Time: 30 mins |Serves: 2 modified to remove ghee from: https://www.myweekendkitchen.in/sheer-khurma-lactose-and-sugar-free-recipe/ * 200 ml almond milk * 400 ml soy milk (you can use 600 ml of either if you don't have both) * 15 dried dates, soaked overnight in water * ½ cup wheat vermicelli/ seviyan * 8-10 raisins * 2 tsp cardamom powder (freshly made) * 2 tbsp chopped almonds and pistachios * a pinch of saffron * 1 tbsp earth balance 1. Drain the dates, cut them into small pieces and remove the seeds. In a small pot, put the dates and almond milk on medium heat. Let the milk simmer and reduce till it is just enough to coat the dates. 2. In another bigger and thick bottom pot, put the soy milk for boiling. Keep stirring in between so the milk doesn’t stick to the pot. I always use a wooden spoon when cooking milk. Once it boils, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer. Take out about 2 tbsp milk in a small bowl. 3. Add the saffron strands to the bowl and mix well to dissolve the saffron. 4. In a frying pan, heat earth balance and roast the vermicelli for just about a minute. Sprinkle ½ tsp cardamom powder while roasting. You will love the aroma. Even if you start with roasted vermicelli, I would suggest you roast them again in ghee for just about 10-20 seconds for the beautiful aroma. You can just toast vermicelli without oil. 5. Add the roasted vermicelli, raisins and dates with the almond milk to the simmering soy milk. Mix well and cook for about 10 mins till the vermicelli is soft and cooked through. At this point you may want to taste the Sheer Khurma for its sweetness. If it is less, you can add a little sugar at this stage. 6. Add the saffron milk, half the dry fruits and cardamom powder. Mix well. 7. Remove into a serving bowl and garnish with remaining dry fruits and cardamoms.

I slam chopped some carrots, bell pepper, cabbage, ginger paste and mixed it with a can of tomatoes and a can of black beans and simmered it for a while. I added a spice mix with cumin, coriander, fenugreek, turmeric, pepper corns, mustard seeds and flax seeds to thicken a bit. Served with rice

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies (recipe, Shoshanna Cohen) Introduction In the intro to his zine Please Don’t Feed the Bears, author Brad Misanthropic says copyrights are for fascists, and asks readers not to even credit him if they reprint his recipes. Oops, just did. Misanthropic calls these Depression Cookies, because you eat them when you’re depressed, but I call them Pancake Cookies, because you make them with maple syrup and they flatten out in the oven, like pancakes. Ingredients * 1 stick soy margarine * 2 cups flour (any kind) * 1 Tbsp. baking powder * 1 tsp. vanilla extract * ½ cup (or less) rice or soy milk * ¾ cup cane syrup or maple syrup * ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips (see Note) Steps 1. Put on music: Codeine's '"Frigid LP. 2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Melt the stick of margarine in a pan, but don’t let it burn. In a big bowl, mix together everything else but the chocolate chips. Pour in the margarine and keep mixing. Let it cool a bit before you mix in the chips, or the mixture will melt them. 3. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Put them in the oven for 10 to 20 minutes. 4. All right, you have a few minutes here. Sit back. Hear the Codeine. Why did you allow yourself to be treated like that? What could you have done differently? Is there a different way you could view the situation? Maybe things aren’t that bad? Ding . . . time’s up. 5. Reinforce that last thought with a hot, sticky cookie right off the tray. Let the rest cool on a rack. Note These are also good with carob chips, and with bits of crystallized ginger added.

That's it. Eyeball it. It costs pennies to make. All the animal products are microscopic amounts in the "beef" and "chicken" bouillon cubes, they ALL contain yeast extract, salt, onion powder as 99% of their composition. You obviously don't need any of the animal products but you don't need any of the preservatives, sugar and corn solids either. Be free from Big Stock and Big Bouillon who have been lying to you all this time.

Not only are nuclear build outs typically associated with weapons grade enrichment by design (yes I know they in theory don't have to be, but all the US ones do) but of course the US has to further exploit and steal from the indigenous to do so. Nuclear power is the golden calf of the green energy movement.

I rolled up some leftover beans in corn tortillas and baked them. I dipped them in tofu crema and salsa I made. If I were less lazy I would have made enchilada sauce, poured it over and baked it again then ate it with rice.

Lets nominate some short stories for September. We're doing fiction this month. Last month's book The Wretched of the Earth was finished by the stars of our club. The discussion posts will follow when the laggards finish the book. Sorry the posts got quiet, busy month, but next month we'll start over! Hope you enjoy my shitty AI banner

Header is my dragon fruit cactus I found in the garbage  This guy were parts of a sick large cactus near by that dropped pads. Opuntia grows like a weed here so i cleaned the pads and repotted large pieces so they'd root, they are now budding which means they rooted thru and will grow. The old parts will probably get pretty woody in the next few years and the fresh cactus will be on top  This is a mother of thousands.  This is a different opuntia that was growing out of my sidewalk as a nub. It has grown and I have cut it up a few times to make more, they all came from the same.  A different opuntia dropped a pad that I planted and it grew a really tall and fell over. I cut each pad and replanted each. Now they are all budding!  This is a blue agave I got from an estate sale  This is another trash cactus, when rescued it was only yellow and the other side had turned to wood, it has regrown skin over the wood and has budded, not sure what kind of cactus it is but for once it isn't a prickily pear   Yet another opuntia lol, this was in the trash with the other one and was totally dead, I can't believe it has a huge new pad and is green again.   I have no idea what this is, I found I got it at an estate sale as part of a lot of random stuff  Random plant that was in a pot that was way too small I found somewhere. I repotted it and it created a second plant in the pot I will eventually move out  Again no idea, maybe some kind of aloe or agave? It is spiny. I found it in the garbage at a friends condo complex.
