unexpected family gathering, 800 words (it was for my creative writing class LOL
(sorry for awful formatting you know how tumblr is 🙁)
@enassbraid @maehemthemisfit
Collei finished pulling up extra chairs to the dinner table for the unexpected guests. Cyno gave no prior warning of him inviting all five of his new friends, and it seemed as if he had no prior warning of it either, as he was apologizing to her and Tighnari about the short notice.
“Uhm. The more the merrier?” Collei said awkwardly, shifting around
where she stood. She had no problems dealing with hordes of children, but being in a room full of adults made her nervous. She recognized some of the guests. The Akademiya’s scribe, Al Haitham, and the famous Zubayr Theatre dancer, Nilou. The other three, A woman clad mostly in black and red, another woman in purple, and a man who was blonde, were unfamiliar to her.
Everyone brought food to share, Curries, Fish rolls, Soups, Shawarma wraps, and of course, Collei’s homemade Pita Pockets. She wondered if her food would be good enough for everyone, Cyno and Tighnari always loved it but… Maybe she should stop overthinking.
The woman in black and red took a big bite into one of Collei’s pita pockets and instantly looked delighted.
“Oh wow! This is REALLY good. Which one of you brought this stuff?”
Collei nervously raised her hand. “I did! I mean-- I baked them, actually.”
“These are amazing. You’re Collei right?”
“Mhm!”
“Well it’s a pleasure to meet you, Collei. I’m Dehya.”
Collei began to return the feeling to Dehya, but as she opened her mouth, her voice was overshadowed by the argument she failed to notice was rising between the two men across from her.
“It’s Sha-warma. S-H-A-W-A-R-M-A.” Al Haitham gritted his teeth at the blonde man next to him.
“Shwarma. S-H-W-A-R-M-A.” The man bickered back, arms crossed and chin pointed up. Collei knew that this man was wrong, but she just sat there awkwardly and let the argument continue.
“You’re the one who brought the meal Kaveh! How are you still spelling it wrong?”
“I’m not! It says it right there on the box.” He points to the container he bought it in, where it had “Shawarma” written on it, but the a had been scribbled out by Kaveh. Cyno and Tighnari gave each other the ‘everyone here is an idiot’ look. And the woman in purple, who Collei figured was named Dunyarzad, because she kept on hearing her be called that, finally interrupted the bickering.
“Gentlemen! Let it be. Why don't we just enjoy our meal instead of arguing on spelling?” She urged.
“Al Haitham can’t stop talking about spelling, he’s a scribe!” Kaveh howled, throwing his head back in pleasure at his jab at his roommate. This garnered a snicker from Nilou and Dehya, and a sigh from Cyno. Collei leaned over to Tighnari’s ear,
“How are these two still friends?” She asked.
“I don’t think they are. They’re just roommates.” He shrugged.
Al Haitham looked burnt out. He took another bite of his food and savored it like he needed it to stay sane.
“You eat like an old woman.” Kaveh picked at him again.
“Good lord Kaveh, you know what? You aren't gonna be able to eat for a whole month when I’m done with you--”
Dunyarzad looked visibly nervous, she wasn't all that huge of a violence fan. Dehya took notice of that and got up and moved her chair in between the two, sitting on it and separating the two.
“You’re making my lady nervous. Tone it down will you?”
Al Haitham had seen Dehya’s fighting prowess more than enough lately, and he knew how she got when Dunyarzad or Nilou were concerned. So he put his hands up in compliance and then kept enjoying his food. Kaveh followed along and struck up conversation with Cyno and Tighnari. They discussed their individual times at the Akademiya, Dunking on teachers, laughing about absurd test questions. Al Haitham and Dehya started discussing possible jobs for Dehya to take in the future. Nilou and Dunyarzad called Collei over to talk about taking dance lessons together, since the two of them finally had the ability to do such grueling physical tasks. Collei began to feel more comfortable in the group. She felt like she had a big family for the first time. No longer just Tighnari, and Cyno who merely visited. Not that she didn’t love the two with her whole heart, but more wasn’t too selfish to ask for, was it? Everyone got tired and was ready to leave after a few more hours of bonding. Dunyarzad left with Dehya first, then Nilou, Then Kaveh and Al Haitham, and finally Cyno patted Collei on the head and made his way back to the desert.
“‘Nari?” Collei asked.
“What is it?” Tighnari responded.
“I think we should have another dinner with them sometime soon.”
Tighnari chuckled and nodded. “As long as it's not a surprise next time, I’ll allow it.”

Khubz, alternatively transliterated as khoubz, khobez, khubz, or khubooz, is the usual word for "bread" in Standard Arabic and in many of the vernaculars.
Among the breads popular in Middle Eastern countries are "pocket" pita bread in the Levant and Egypt, and the flat tannur bread in Iraq.
The oldest known kind of bread, by archaeologists in Northern Jordan, dates back 14,000 years. It was a sort of unleavened flatbread made with several types of wild cereals.
Tannur bread. In Iraq, the most popular bread is the Tannur bread (ḵubz al-tannūr, خبز التنور) which resembles other slightly leavened flatbreads such as Iranian nan-e barbari, Central and South Asian flatbreads (such as naan), and pizza base.
The word tannur comes from the Akkadian word tinūru, which consists of the parts tin 'mud' and nuro/nura 'fire' and is mentioned as early as in the Akkadian Epic of Gilgamesh.
Six recipes for bread baked in a tannur are included in Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq's 10th century Kitab al-Tabikh cookery book.
As a result of the economic sanctions imposed on Iraq in the 1990s there was an increase in the making of bread in the traditional way in a tannur.
Pita bread. Pita is a flatbread found in many Mediterranean, Balkan, and Middle Eastern cuisines. In Arab countries, pita bread is produced as a round flatbread, 18 cm (7 in) to 30 cm (12 in) in diameter. It is thin and puffs up as it bakes. Since it does not contain any added fat, it dries out rapidly and is best consumed while still warm; later, it may become chewy.
The "pocket" pita originated in the Middle East. It is also known as Arab(ic) bread, Lebanese bread, or Syrian bread.
In Egyptian, Israeli, Palestinian, Jordanian, Lebanese, and Syrian cuisine, almost every savory dish can be eaten in or on pita bread. It is one of the staple food items in the Lebanese cuisine. Common fillings include falafel, lamb or chicken shawarma, kebab, omelettes such as shakshouka (eggs and tomatoes), hummus, and other mezes.
Nationals of other countries, for example, South Asians, also consume it as a replacement for roti with curries, cooked vegetables or meat (dry or gravy).

Qatar's Sense of taste Pleasers: A Manual for Food Service Areas of interest
In the core of the Middle Eastern Bay lies a culinary heaven ready to be investigated: Qatar. This little yet dynamic country brags a rich embroidery flavour, drawing motivation from its different social impacts and present day cosmopolitanism. From customary Qatari cooking to global pleasures, Qatar's food Service Market offers plenty of choices to tempt your taste buds. Go along with me as we set out on a gastronomic excursion through Qatar's top food Service Areas of interest.
Investigating Qatari Cooking:
Our process starts with a jump into the rich embroidery of Qatari food. Established in Bedouin custom and vigorously affected by the country's waterfront area, Qatari dishes frequently highlight fish, rice, and flavours. Customary strengths like Machboos (flavoured rice with meat, typically chicken or sheep), Harees (a porridge-like dish produced using wheat and meat), and Mathrooba (an exquisite stew of meat and vegetables) exhibit the profundity of Qatari culinary legacy.
To encounter valid Qatari flavours, go to neighbourhood diners like Al Jasra Conventional Food, where you can appreciate dishes ready with revered recipes that have gone down through ages. These foundations offer a brief look into Qatar's social legacy while fulfilling your desires for customary passage.
Worldwide Gastronomy in Qatar:
Notwithstanding its customary roots, Qatar's food scene is everything except stale. With a different exile populace and a developing cosmopolitan viewpoint, the nation has turned into a mixture of global foods. From Lebanese and Indian to Italian and Japanese, you'll track down a bunch of eating choices to suit each sense of taste.
Enjoy the kinds of the Levant at eateries like Mamig, where fragrant shawarma and mezze platters rule. For a sample of legitimate Indian cooking, visit Flavor Market in W Doha Inn, where enticing curries and baked dishes are anticipated. Hankering a cut of Italy? La Spiga by Paper Moon offers a culinary excursion through the kinds of Tuscany, with hand crafted pastas and wood-terminated pizzas getting everyone's attention.
Upscale Feasting Encounters:
For those looking for a more refined culinary experience, Qatar's upscale feasting scene conveys in spades. Michelin-featured gourmet specialists and acclaimed restaurateurs have settled in the nation, hoisting Qatar food Service Market to worldwide praise.
Feast in style at Nobu Doha, where big name cook Nobu Matsuhisa's imaginative Japanese-Peruvian combination food becomes the overwhelming focus against the setting of the Middle Eastern Bay. In the interim, Hakkasan at The St. Regis Doha offers contemporary Cantonese dishes mixed with customary flavours, making it a #1 among burger joints.
Embracing Qatar's Food Service Market:
As we cross Qatar's culinary scene, it becomes obvious that the country's food Service Market is a unique biological system, continually developing to satisfy the needs of its different populace. Whether you're longing for conventional Qatari passage, worldwide indulgences, or haute food, Qatar has something to fulfil each desire.
Nonetheless, it's not just about the food — it's about the experience. From the clamouring souks of Doha to the smooth lounge areas of lavish lodgings, every dinner in Qatar is a potential chance to drench yourself in the country's energetic culture and neighbourliness.
All in all, Qatar food Service Market is a mother lode of culinary joys ready to be found. Whether you're a carefully prepared foodie or a courageous eater, Qatar offers a dining experience for the faculties that will leave you hankering more. Thus, the following time you wind up in this charming corner of the Bedouin Bay, make certain to investigate Qatar's sense of taste and enjoy a culinary experience like no other.

Savor the Fusion: Chicken Al Pastor Tacos
Chicken al pastor tantalizes taste buds with a harmonious blend of Mexican and Lebanese influences. This delightful dish, born from the bustling streets of Mexico, marries tender marinated chicken with smoky, spicy, and slightly sweet flavors. In this article, we’ll explore the origins, preparation, and variations of this mouthwatering fusion.
What is Al Pastor?
The term “al pastor” translates to “shepherd style” in Spanish. This popular Mexican cooking style draws inspiration from Middle Eastern lamb shawarma, thanks to Lebanese immigrants who settled in Central Mexico. Traditionally, al pastor features marinated pork cooked on a vertical spit called a trompo. The pineapple-topped meat stack rotates on a rotisserie, infusing the pork with juicy pineapple goodness. Each slice boasts a vibrant red-orange hue and a complex blend of sweet, spicy, smoky, and tangy flavors.
Why You’ll Love Chicken Al Pastor
Now, let’s dive into why this less-authentic weeknight version of sheet pan chicken al pastor recipe deserves a place on your dinner table:
Easy to Make: While the traditional trompo method is time-consuming, our home-cooked version is equally flavorful. Whether you grill, bake, or pan-fry, the results are delicious and achievable in a fraction of the time.
Flavorful and Delicious: Chicken al pastor takes chicken to a whole new level. It remains juicy, rich, and bright orange, boasting smoky, tangy, sweet, and spicy notes.
Versatile: Beyond tacos, chicken al pastor shines in burritos, burrito bowls, quesadillas, taco salads, and alongside eggs.
Key Ingredients
Let’s break down the essential components for creating chicken al pastor magic:
Marinade:
Achiote Paste: Provides earthy flavor and that signature red color.
Orange Juice and Brown Sugar: Balances sweetness and crisps up the edges during cooking.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Adds a tangy kick.
Aromatics: Fresh garlic, chipotle peppers, ancho chili powder, cumin, and dried oregano.
Chicken Thighs:
Opt for boneless, skinless chicken thighs for maximum tenderness.
How to Make Chicken Al Pastor
Homemade Al Pastor Marinade
Blend the marinade ingredients until smooth.
Generously coat the chicken thighs with the marinade.
Marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 12 hours in the refrigerator).
Sheet Pan Chicken Al Pastor Recipe
Arrange marinated chicken and pineapple chunks on a lined baking sheet.
Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes.
Flip everything over, brush with remaining marinade, and continue baking until fully cooked.
Broil for Crispy Edges:
Carefully chop partially cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Return chicken to the baking sheet.
Broil for 4-5 minutes, turning halfway, until browned and slightly crisp.
Serving Suggestions
Chicken al pastor is incredibly versatile:
Tacos: Fill warm corn or flour tortillas with juicy al pastor chicken, sliced pineapple, diced onions, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Burritos and Bowls: Create burritos or rice bowls with your favorite fixings.
Quesadillas: Melted cheese and chicken al pastor—need we say more?
Does This Taste the Same as Chipotle’s Chicken Al Pastor?
While our homemade version captures the essence of al pastor, it’s not an exact replica of Chipotle’s. However, the bold flavors and juicy chicken will leave you craving more.
Storage
Refrigerate leftover chicken al pastor in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freeze any extra portions for future taco nights.
Conclusion
Chicken al pastor bridges culinary worlds, celebrating fusion and flavor. So, gather your tortillas, slice that pineapple, and embark on a taste adventure with homemade chicken al pastor—it’s a fiesta waiting to happen!

hi , im aphrodite anon and i saw someone doing a ranking here once and i wanted to give a ranking on if my strict arab / muslim family would be approving of my courting of the twisted wonderland cast
heartslabyul <3
riddle : listen , my mother is all for the rules. they’d drink tea together and talk about how im “too argumentative for my own good”. my dad tried intimidating him and then warmed up to him because he could probably take care of me or smth like that—my siblings , cousins , and uncles are too much for him so at family gatherings he just hangs out with my aunties 9/10
trey : TELL ME THEY WOULDN’T LOVE HIM—like they teach him how to bake all of our yemeni desserts like ma’amool , ka’ak , bint al sahn—they adore him. my mom is all for the extensive dental knowledge and my dad probably teaches him how to cook lahim sighar and shawarma , while bonding over dude stuff idfk 20/10
cater : okay so my aunties would like him a lot. he’s so chatty with them that they just invite me over so that they can talk with him. he probably called them ‘pretty’ or complimented their middle easterner hair and ever since then he became one of the aunties—my cousins climb him like a tree and do his hair <3 my uncles make fun of him because they’re stupid like that 8/10
ace : no. like i cant take this mf anywhere with me. HE WOULD ACT LIKE MY MALE COUSINS AND THEY’D FUCKING MAKE THE LITTLE KIDS WRESTLE—based on a true story. he’d get along with my uncles and my cousins , but the kids would fucking hate him sooooo. my dad wouldn’t like him either 3/10
deuce : he’s perfect. he’s sweet , respectful , helpful , strong—like the moment my grandparents are all for him is when they see him helping my mom carry heavy stuff out of the car. my dad would adore him because he has good intentions and my cousins would love hanging around him 10/10
savanaclaw <3
leona : my uncles are pretty lazy , but he takes the cake. we’re singing happy birthday to my grandpa and he’s in the guest bedroom napping—they wouldn’t like him very much at all. i have like 30 younger cousins and they’d annoy the hell out of him so yeah -1/10
ruggie : no he fits right in with the arabs. they’ll laugh together and my grandma will feed him until he can’t fit into his jeans. he eats really well at all of out family reunions <33 AND THE KIDS LOVE HIM. they aren’t even suspicious of him when my auntie’s gold earrings suddenly go missing 10/10
jack : they’d be unsure at first and then they’d love him. he and my dad get along the most because my dad really likes reliable people with good morals <3 my mom invites him over and teaches him how to make classic yemeni dishes , whilst making fun of me or smth. HE’D SCARE MY UNCLES TOO MUCH FOR THEM TO MAKE FUN OF HIM OR ME HAHAHAHAHA. whenever my brother and older cousins try to make the kids wrestle each other , jack comes to the rescue for sure 11/10
octavinelle <3
azul : nah because why is he talking about the economy with my uncles and dad ?? and why are they actually enjoying the conversation—he’s smooth enough to get through my aunties pretty easily and he and my dad definitely get along wayyyyy too well. all they ever wanted was for me to get a benevolent smart guy , and so comes azul. he does seem a little worried about all of the khubz , ka’ak , and bint al-sahn we make 9.3/10
jade : THEY LOVE HIM AND THEN SLOWLY BECOME SUSPICIOUS OF HIM—they really thought he was a chill and suave guy until he made a low key suspicious comment and they always think about it. on the plus side , he’s definitely helping in the kitchen after we cook for the gatherings 6.8/10
floyd : no. they think he’s way too capricious in his nature and he’s just ??? they’re scared when he says something about squeezing a kid until they pop. he threw one of the kids for fun and then they started crying to their parents about it jkfhjdf it was the last time he was invited to a gathering. -5/10
PART 1/2
bc of character block limit smh
Oh my god welcome aphrodite anon

CHEF ILONA: The iconic Mexican dish, Pork al Pastor is also Lebanese!
I love tacos; authentic, messy, satisfying tacos! In the 1930s,Tacos al pastor were first created in Puebla, Mexico by Lebanese immigrant community living in the area. At this time, the Lebanese classic, shawarma was intrroduced to Puebla. This creation was originally known as tacos árabes, and used meat cooked on a vertical, or upright, grill.
The technique of cooking meat on a vertical spit would eventually evolve into tacos al pastor. When the upright grill moved on from Puebla, the tacos al pastor as we know it today gradually came into being: Marinated pork replaced lamb on the spit.

Pork al Pastor
Adapted Kenji Lopez’ recipe
10 whole ancho chilies, seeds and stems removed
10 whole guajillo chilies, seeds and stems removed
1 ½ cup low-sodium chicken stock
¼ cup vegetable oil
3 tbsp dried oregano
3 tbsp dried ground cumin seed
3 Tablespoons paprika
5 chipotle chilies packed in adobo sauce, plus 2 teaspoons sauce from can
1 ¼ cup distilled white vinegar
1 bulb, whole cloves garlic
2 tbsp kosher salt
3 Tbsp sugar
10 pounds boneless blade-end loin or sirloin pork roast
8 ounces (½ pound) sliced bacon
Place chilies in a large saucepan over medium high heat and cook, turning chilies occasionally, until puffed, pliable, lightly browned in spots, and very aromatic, about 5 minutes. Add chicken stock (it should boil immediately), then pour contents of pan into a small bowl. Cover loosely and set aside.
Wipe out saucepan, add oil, and return to medium-high heat until oil is shimmering. Add cumin, oregano, and achiote and cook, stirring frequently, until aromatic but not browned, about 30 seconds. Add paprika, chipotle chilies and sauce and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds longer. Add vinegar, salt, and sugar and remove from heat.
Scrape contents of saucepan into a blender along with garlic and chilies with their soaking liquid. Blend on high speed until completely smooth, about 1 minute, scraping down sides as necessary. Set sauce aside to cool slightly.
Using a very sharp chef's knife or slicing knife, slice the meat as thin as possible. If necessary, place meat in freezer for 15 minutes to firm it up. Split the sides of a heavy duty zipper-lock bag. Place one slice of meat inside bag and pound with the bottom of a heavy 8-inch skillet or a meat pounder until less than 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining meat.
Add marinade to bowl and toss with hands until every piece of meat is evenly coated in marinade.
Begin to layer the meats and pineapple in a baking dish starting with the sliced pork, then bacon and finally pineapple. Continue this process until everything has been layered up.
Slow cook the meat in a 325 oven for about 3 hours or until the meat is tender, but remains intact; pork al pastor is not pulled pork. Check the pork after the 2.5 hour mark.
To serve: Crisp up the meat in a pan. Pop some meat on a corn tortilla and top with cilantro, chopped onion, and lime. Devour immediately!
