[ID: A large, shallow bowl filled with soup with orange broth, noodles, mushrooms, and bell peppers, garnished with green onion and cilantro. A plate of dumplings and a bowl of sauce are visible in the background. End ID.]

Thukpa / थुक्पा (Nepali noodle soup)

Thukpa is a Himalayan noodle soup that originated in Tibet before becoming popular in Nepal, Butan, and northeast India, where many different varieties of it are eaten in the home and as a street food. This Nepali-style version is flavored with green chilis, cumin, coriander, and ginger, and brightened with the addition of fresh herbs and lime juice. This is a warming, filling, one-pot meal, perfect for winter!

Recipe under the cut.

Patreon | Tip jar

Serves 8-10.

Ingredients:

1/2 each green, yellow, and red bell pepper, sliced

1 green hot chili pepper, slit

4 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces

2-inch chunk ginger, minced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 Tbsp cumin seeds, toasted and ground

1 Tbsp coriander seeds, toasted and ground

1 large or 2 small roma tomatoes, diced (150g)

250g dried thukpa noodles or Chinese wheat noodles

1/2 cup shredded cabbage

1 cup quartered button mushrooms

1 large carrot, julienned

8 cups (2L) water

1 Tbsp vegetarian chicken stock from concentrate, or 2 vegetarian chicken-flavored stock cubes (optional)

Juice of 1 lemon or lime

Bunch of garlic greens, or fresh cilantro, chopped

1 Tbsp soy sauce (optional)

Salt to taste (about 2 tsp, less if you used a stock cube containing salt)

1/2 tsp chaat masala or garam masala (optional)

Mustard oil is typically used for this soup, but you can also use any neutral oil.

Nepali thukpa noodles may be found at an Asian grocery store or purchased online. They may be labeled "Thukpa noodles" or "Himalayan noodles." Any thin wheat noodle may be used as a substitute.

Thukpa also commonly includes chicken. I have omitted it and focused on the veggies in this recipe (a lot of Nepali thukpa recipes are vegetarian!), but if you have a chicken substitute onhand you can cook it in the oil at the beginning of step 2, then remove it from the pot; return it to the soup when ready to serve.

Chickpeas, split bengal gram, or other beans are sometimes added to vegetarian versions of Nepali thukpa for protein. Add in cooked beans or grams at step 7.

Chicken stock is not usually used in this soup. I like to use a vegetarian chicken stock cube in my version to simulate the effect of boiling chicken in the soup water along with the vegetables; I think it adds a nice savor.

Instructions:

1. Boil noodles according to package directions, until they are al dente (use salted water if the noodles themselves do not contain salt). Drain noodles and rinse with cold water to halt cooking.

2. In a large pot, heat oil on medium until shimmering. Add onion and saute, agitating occasionally, 3-5 minutes until translucent. Add ginger, garlic, and green chili and fry for 30 seconds until fragrant and no longer raw-smelling.

3. Meanwhile, add half of ground coriander and cumin to a small bowl and add just enough water to form a thick paste. When garlic and ginger are fragrant, add the spice paste to the pot and cook, stirring often, until the water has evaporated to bloom the spices.

4. Add tomatoes and cook, covered, for 2 minutes until soft. Mash with the flat of a ladle.

5. Add mushrooms, carrots, cabbage, and bell peppers. Cook, uncovered, on medium low for 3 minutes, then cover and cook for another 3 minutes.

6. Add the rest of the ground coriander and cumin and stir to combine.

7. Add water (and chicken stock concentrate or cubes, if using) and bring to a boil. Cook for a few minutes until vegetables are tender and cooked through.

8. Add chaat masala or garam masala and simmer another minute.

9. Reduce heat to low. Add green onion, garlic greens, lime juice, and soy sauce and simmer for another minute.

10. Add cooked noodles (and chicken, if using) and heat until warmed through. Taste and add salt if necessary. Serve hot.

Rapid-fire Recs

Hey! Haven’t done one of these in a while. This time around, I thought I’d cover tabletop RPGs, a category of game which I’ve always wanted to cover, but the fact of my relative inexperience with them (and much less one single title) compared to video games has always held me back from doing a full issue spotlight. So, without further ado: five TTRPGs that also don’t require a GM!

Moss Creeps, Stone Crumbles

Moss Creeps, Stone Crumbles is a very rules-light and casual friendly TTRPG about documenting a clearing over the course of a century in five year increments. One player first draws a simple image, and then the next player writes a short caption for it. The player who wrote the caption then draws an image from the clearing five years later, and the next player writes a caption for them, looping back to the first player once everyone’s had a go, until 20 of these writing/drawing pairs have been made.

The collaborate storytelling process is a quietly companionable one, as the focus on a location allows your story to escape the traditional framing around Ego and instead explore a biological network of sorts. As drawings don’t need to be of the clearing as a whole, players can and will flit between small elements, with various landmarks or animals or flowers making appearances and reappearances over the course of decades.

And, at the end, you have a physical record of your little clearing that you can keep – the game suggests dividing up a single piece of paper into 20 sections, but my artist’s nature insists it be played on 10 double-sided sheets so it’s easier to turn into a book.

2-20 players, GMless

$1.00 USD

~1.5-2 hours

The Ground Itself

If you want a game set in a single location over a certain advancing timeframe that doesn’t dictate a specific setting, then The Ground Itself does that. Here the world is brainstormed by the players, and then dice roll determines the timeframe – whether the landscape inches forward by a scale of days or millennia. This second bit means that a setting such as a high school could be rendered very different after a single round of the game. The players then draw cards from the deck and answer card specific prompts, after which the time advance is triggered.

Compared to Moss Creeps, Stone Crumbles, The Ground Itself is not focused on images (being a text-oriented game) and snapshot moments, but more concrete systems of culture, society, and history – the world I created was not a collage of scenes but instead a realized world whose various incarnations in time I could use as a setting for a story, or even another TTRPG. So if you want to follow the concrete history of a place, give it a shot.

I Groom Turtles and My Partner Degausses Birds. Our Budget is 1.5 Million.

While Moss Creeps and Ground generally treat their loci with some level of solemn respect, I Groom Turtles absolutely does not. The basic pitch of it is that it’s a parody of Househunters and similar shows – asking the two players playing as the couple to come up with the ‘whitest name they can think of’ for their partner, and for them to come up with what style of house they want independent of each other. There’s also the deathless spectres. Because one thing the realtor has failed to note about the property they’re selling to the other players is that it’s haunted. And as they take the couple through the house, and the couple argue about what renovations they want to make to the rooms, the deathless spectres will have the renovations of their own.

I Groom Turtles’ humor emerges in the melodrama of house selection as mediated by reality TV, as the players stand true to the naked absurdity of their desires for the house in verbal combat negotiation for the final renovation plans. In the end, after the laughter had died down, my friends and I had a floorplan that was an utterly ridiculous hodgepodge of desired features and the frustrating compromises taken to get them, for everyone human and not.

/dia

However, if you’re less interested in places so much as people, or you don’t have anyone around to play TTRPGs with you, or you want a game that goes quick, /dia is a solo TTRPG about writing the singular moment of a character facing imminent death in segmented increments. I hesitate to say much more, as the unfolding format of the rulebook does a lot for the tone and pace of the game, and aside from that a lot of its draw is in its short length. What I can say is that the subject matter is well-suited to the micro size, and for its duration, I was caught up in the world of my character. If you’re still unsure about the idea of a solo TTRPG and ‘journaling games’, this is a complete experience without a large time investment.

$3.00 USD

30 minutes

Six Figures Under

But if you want a solo TTRPG game that’s longer and wherein the presence of death isn’t a climactic single moment but instead part of the job, Six Figures Under is a game of vignettes about being a freelance necromancer. In it, you write about facets of the job such as fulfilling a client’s request or carefully writing an Ad on Craigslist that can bypass its word-based content filters. That second vignette is also exemplary of the game’s epistolary focus. In all but one of the vignettes, the writing you’re doing isn’t of a framed narrative, but of in-universe documents – the one about fulfilling a client’s request is specifically a journal entry. If you like the freelance work take on a usually mystical job, or an epistolary-focused TTRPG, check it out.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

This baby remained under the rubble for six hours. Read it again. By some miracle, he survived and he was rescued. But his mother who was holding him didn't. He looks like he's in shock, you can see tears coming out of his eyes but no expression or any sound to indicate his pain.

We are not numbers. Make an effort to end this.

[ID: A large, shallow dish full of golden brown rice with chickpeas, bits of tomato, and whole spices; it is garnished with mint and sliced almonds. End ID.]

Chana pulao (Pakistani-style rice and chickpea dish)

Chana pulao is a simple, tasty vegetarian staple common throughout various regions of India and Pakistan. It is often prepared during Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar, but may be prepared year-round. Fragrant, fluffy basmati rice is cooked with aromatics, chilis, tomatoes, pungent spices, and herbs in this filling, one-pot meal.

Recipe under the cut!

Patreon | Tip jar

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups (240g) cooked chana (chickpeas / garbanzo beans)

2 cups (360g) dried basmati rice, rinsed and soaked

3 cups (710mL) water

1 shallot, sliced

2 roma tomatoes, diced (optional)*

2 green chilis, slit

1 green chili, sliced

10 mint leaves, chopped

1-inch chunk (10g) fresh ginger, julienned

4 cloves garlic, chopped and crushed

3 Tbsp neutral oil

Sliced almonds, fried in neutral oil until golden brown, to garnish (optional)

Whole spices:

2 Indian bay leaves (tej patta)**

3 pieces Ceylon / true cinnamon bark (dalchini), or substitute cassia cinnamon

2 green cardamom pods (elaichi)

2 Indian black cardamom pods (badi / kali elaichi)

1 star anise pod (chakri phool)

1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)

1/4 tsp black peppercorns

5 cloves (laung)

2 Tbsp fennel seeds (saunf)

2 Tbsp coriander seeds (dhania)

1 dried red chili pepper, crushed, or 1 tsp red chili flakes

Ground spices:

1/2 tsp ground turmeric

2 tsp salt

1 tsp Indian chili powder (ground mirchi)***

1 tsp garam masala

All of these spices can be purchased whole or ground at an Asian or halaal grocery store. If you don't have any of the spices, you may omit them. Star anise and fennel both have a licorice-like aroma and may be substituted with each other or with aniseed. Black cardamom has a strong, smoky, camphorous aroma--if you don't have any, just use a bit more green cardamom, cinnamon, and clove.

*Tomatoes are a common add-on but are not strictly traditional in this dish. Add them in for the tangy flavor and additional color, or omit them for lighter, fluffier rice.

**Indian bay leaves are distinct from Turkish or California laurel bay leaves and have a different taste and fragrance. They will be labelled "tej patta" in an Asian or halaal grocery store, and have three vertical lines running along them from root to tip, rather than radiating out diagonally from a central vein. Omit these if you don’t have any.

***Mirchi is made from dried and ground red chilis and is distinct from chili powder, which contains various spices and dried aromatics in addition to ground chilis. Substitute with more red chili flakes, or with another ground red chili powder such as prik bon.

Instructions:

1. If using dried chickpeas: allow a cup (175g) of dried chickpeas to soak in plenty of cool water overnight (or quick soak by placing in a pot and covering in several inches of water, bringing to a boil, removing from heat and allowing to soak for an hour). After soaking, drain chickpeas and place in a pot covered by several inches of water; bring to a simmer and cook for an hour or two until tender. Optionally add a few crushed cloves of garlic, half an onion, and a bay leaf in with the water to flavor the chana.

2. Rinse rice in several changes of cool water until the water runs mostly clear. Cover it with cool water and allow to soak for about half an hour while you prepare the produce and spices.

3. Prepare your produce. Slice shallot by cutting the stem end off, placing each lobe flat-side-down, and slicing horizontally (perpendicular to the root). Dice tomatoes and cut a slit vertically in two green chilis; slice another green chili horizontally. Wash ginger (or peel it, if the peel seems particularly thick or tough) and julienne by slicing thinly in one direction to produce discs, then slicing the discs thinly in another direction to produce matchsticks. Roughly chop garlic and crush it with the flat of your knife. Rinse and roughly chop mint.

4. Heat a few Tbsp of a neutral oil on medium in a large, deep pan. Sauté larger whole spices--cardamom pods, star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and black peppercorns--for 30 about seconds until fragrant. Add smaller seeds (coriander, fennel, and cumin) and fry for another minute until fragrant and a shade darker.

5. Add shallot and fry, agitating often, until golden brown. Add ginger, garlic, green chilis (sliced and whole), and crushed red chili / chili flakes and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

6. Add ground spices and mint and sauté for a few seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

7. Add tomatoes and sauté for several minutes until water has evaporated.

8. Reduce heat to low. Add water, chickpeas, and rice and cook, covered, until rice has absorbed all of the water, 15-20 minutes. If your pan tends to stick or has a thin bottom, stir occasionally.

9. Allow to steam without removing the lid for another 5-10 minutes. Fluff and serve warm. Garnish with sliced almonds, cashews, mint, or lemon as desired.

#dc #dc comics #batman #jason todd #red hood #i mean #i literally cant think of a single universe #were jasons revenge plot #didn't include at least 1 year of planning #jason read the count of monte cristo and decided yes this dude knew what he was doing #even his most impulsive revenge plan #of putting a car bomb under the batmobile #needed so much planning #and then he had to spend hours slowly moving towards it #anyway my point is #i think itd be funny if it was a running gag that all of jasons plans #include just the most ridiculous amount of pre planning

love when men cry about body hair bc "it's hygiene" and yet 15% of cis men leave the bathroom without washing their hands at all and an additional 35% only just wet their hands without using soap. that is nearly half of all men. that means statistically you have probably shaken hands with or been in direct contact with one of these people.

love when men say that women "only want money" when it turns out that even in equal-earning homes, women are actually adding caregiver burdens and housework from previous years, whereas men have been expanding leisure time and hobbies. in equal-earning households, men spend an average of 3.5 hours extra in leisure time per week, which is 182 hours per year - a little over a week of paid vacation time that the other partner does not receive. kinda sounds like he wants her money.

love that men have decided women are frail and weak and annoying when we scream in surprise but it turns out it's actually women who are more reliable in an emergency because men need to be convinced to actually take action and respond to the threat. like, actually, for-real: men experience such a strong sense of pride about their pre-supposed abilities that it gets them and their families killed. they are so used to dismissing women that it literally kills them.

love it. told my father this and he said there's lies, damned lies, and statistics. a year ago i tried to get him to evacuate the house during a flash flood. he ignored me and got injured. he has told me, laughing, that he never washes his hands. he has said in the last week that women are just happier when we're cooking or cleaning.

maybe i'm overly nostalgic. but it didn't used to feel so fucking bleak. it used to feel like at least a little shameful to consider women to be sheep. it just feels like the earth is round and we are still having conversations about it being flat - except these conversations are about the most obvious forms of patriarchy. like, we know about this stuff. we've known since well before the 50's.

recently andrew tate tried to justify cheating on his partner as being the "male prerogative." i don't know what the prerogative for the rest of us would be. just sitting at home, watching the slow erosion of our humanity.

#writeblr #warm up #ps edited so it is more clear where “half” of men is coming from:#15% literally don't even touch water #an ADDITIONAL 35% ''wash'' by just running their hands under water WITHOUT SOAP #15+35 =50%#like that is not washing ur hands. go back and use soap #btw the numbers for women are 4% never washing and 15% ''just water''#which is still gross but like. sooo much better yikes #ps i know we're all gay on this site but watching ppl ''correct'' my math on this has been wild #i have a learning disability im genuinely bad at math so i check EVERY time someone corrects me #but no they're just confidently wrong.....#182 hours is a week babes. 182/24 (number of hours in a day) is ~7.6 #that's where i got that number from. also from rent we know there's 168 hours in a week.#ALSO btw if u read this and ur response is ''men are also struggling rn tho'' like babe you missed the point of it tho #this doesn't even make fun of men it's legit just pointing out that bigotry against women isn't founded #in anything men actually CARE about . like they don't actually CARE about ''being clean'' when they make fun of armpit hair #or they would be WASHING THEIR HANDS.#men pretend to be rollin' in cash and Apex Predators and instead they are trained to be lazy and unwilling to act in emergencies #i have never and will never make fun of men for asking for more support on important topics like DV and mental health.#this is so clearly not about men; it's about how common just being plainly misogynistic has become.#like they don't try to hide it anymore.
