Eid Mubarak everyone 😁

If you're totally unprepared like me ( I was hoping Eid would be Saturday!), don't try cooking this

A recipe that I've been sitting on for a while - murgi musallam!

The editorials suddenly announcing 'Enough' (better late than never). Was it not 'enough' when it was tens of thousands of brown civilians?

🚨 Artists are removing their artwork from @HOME_mcr in protest of the venue’s decision to cancel an event celebrating Palestinian stories.

One artist accuses the venue of having “contributed to the silencing of Palestinian voices at a time when they most need to be heard”

You can say a Black woman should be shot and be forgiven but changing the colour of a flags is where they draw the line 🥴

And it only took 145 days of genocide and almost as many Palestinian journalists targeted and assassinated by Israel. How many of their murdered Palestinian colleagues might still be alive if they had made this statement 5 months ago? Their culpability is permanent and indelible.

Many of the women we interviewed have now been killed. But their stories and legacies live on through the book. Everything and everyone is under attack now-our heritage, our farmland, our people.

It may still be November, but it’s Christmas in my heart! Anyway, it’s less than a month till my Amsterdam Christmas Special 🎄🌷🎄I have details for your diary: 8pm on Thursday 21st December on @bbcone and @bbciplayer ! Please do join me ♥️

[Dina Begum @dinasfoodstory]

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

A close friend here just found out all 21 of his family in Gaza were wiped out last night.

Anyone with a phone in Gaza city just got a message from the Israeli army that if they havent evacuated, they are considered terrorists.

They have nowhere to go.
This is a genocide.

[Hugo Rifkind @hugorifkind]

Remarkable to hear Braverman say multiculturalism has failed. She's a British Home Secretary descended from Goan Indians from Mauritius and Kenya, married to a Jewish husband, in a government headed by Britain's first Hindu PM. What would successful multiculturalism look like?

[The Adobros @theadobros]

Got to talk a bit about what I am doing for #ESEAHM East and South East Asian Heritage Month here in the UK, what it means to me and what I hope to achieve. All part of the mission to fly the flag for Filipino food! Thank you Sarah for the chat

When my grandmother used to say there were tigers roaming around when they bought their jongli land in Gulshan in the 50s we used to laugh at her, but apparently it’s true! 🐅🐯🇧🇩

ChatGPT is getting scary good… 😬

[Fuchsia Dunlop @fuchsiadunlop]

I’d always wanted to see one of these in real life: an incredible Chinese ‘banquet’ composed of natural stones that resemble food! I had seen the occasional photograph of similar banquets, but this was better than any of them. What a feast!

This is called hospitality. This is also showcasing the best of your cuisine. Bangladesh Government’s dinner for Macron.

[Bangladeshi Kitchen @DeshiKitchen]

Looking forward to this!

Massive congratulations Dina 👏🏾
