@rosymiz's personal blog where I put art references, tutorials, and fandom stuff. I unfortunately can't set my art blog as the main blog anymore, so I'm trapped with my personal blog LOL

That right there is a good solid burger patty with the intriguing addition of middle eastern spices 👀👀👀 (and as we all know variety is the spice of life, and spice is the variety of food.) I’m also intrigued by how she put the patty in the pita(?) which makes it a sort of burger panini. It looks good and I am going to have to try it.
I want to make this for my family, but my mom’s pretty iffy on beef that is anything but well done (dry as fuck) so I’m wondering how to cook it throughly enough without burning the bread.
You can cook it in very thin pita with a thin layer of minced beef/lamb so that the meat is cooked brown all the way through in only 1 minute per side.
But also! Red Meat is “Well Done” at 160F/72C (white meat is 165F/75C). Bread actually doesn’t even toast until 255F/123C!!
So, if you make the full size patties in a frying pan on a low-medium heat, or an oven set to 300F/150C, it will take about 20 minutes to cook instead of only 3 minutes, but it will DEFINITELY not burn the bread, and the meat will be VERY well done.
Here is the oven based recipe I suggested elsewhere on the post
I’m curious as to what the spices/seasonings in the beef are cause I wanna make this myself so bad
There’s always fresh Parsley and Lebanon 7 spice (sabaa baharat), and then in the tiktok there’s also onion, garlic, and jalapeno. A lot of people also put in tomato, or tomato paste.
My favourite 7 spice is equal parts:
Cinnamon
Black Pepper
Cumin
Cloves
Coriander
Allspice or nutmeg
Ginger or Cardamom
But really, as long as you have the italicized ones, the others can be up to you. Some people use paprika and turmeric, some people use sumac and mint. It’s really variable.
Also if you don’t want to mix it yourself, a good Garam Masala will have all of these spices and a few more, and makes an excellent ready-to-use substitute.
note that’s coriander seed, not leaf (aka cilantro) - coriander seed is amazing, smells like a paradise lemon and is really good in porridge (aka oatmeal) - we’re one of those people who can’t eat the leaf, but the seed is really delicious and fragrant
internet shaquille made a super accessible video on how to make these, including the spice mix and what to use if you can’t access the exact ingredients! it’s quite similar advice to what the commenters put above, just in one handy video for your reference
alright i am sick of yt to mp4 sites being shady and full of viruses and finding websites that seem to be working and then don’t work (looking at you y232 (no hate, just frustrated))
so HERE’S HOW YOU DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE VIDEOS WITH VLC!! VLC FREAKIN RULES!!
get your youtube link
open vlc, go to media > open network stream
paste your url in the box and PRESS PLAY!
wait for the video to open then go to tools > codec information
copy the entire file location (click the box, then ctrl-a to select all, then ctrl-c to copy)
paste into your browser of choice (i use firefox)
right click video and press “save video as”, choose your file format if you want
Navigate to C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\playlist (or whatever equivalent there is on Mac; if you have a Mac just fish around in the program files you’re bound to find it somewhere)
Open youtube.luac with a text editor like Notepad
Delete whatever’s in there and replace it with ALL of the stuff with the github file.
Save the file, restart VLC, and then it should work.
PLEASE REBLOG THIS ADDITION FOR THE LOVE OF CRUMBCAKE THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY IMPORTANT
(and re: other additions in the tags, I hear you and that’s totally fair you want quality! but if you really don’t care and/or those websites are blocked, this is a workaround you can use)
As a side note this is all perfectly legal. When sued by google, the French courts (because VLCs parent organization is French) concluded that because Youtube was distributing their videos for free, people had every right to download them for free, and no violation of intellectual property was being committed.
The goal of the #uncommitted campaign was just 10,000 votes to send a message
for people who haven’t heard of michigan’s “uncommitted” campaign, it’s a campaign to vote uncommitted in the democratic primary to send a message to biden and the democratic party that michigan voters will not support biden’s funding of genocide in gaza.
movies where someone hears an important message only once and retains all the details….
girl if that were me, we’d be fucked. I have to reread emails like 4 times.
if it were me having to repeat my dead father’s instructions on destroying the death star:
I was in a college psych class, and the teacher was doing some kind of exercise about memory, patterns, and retention. He began with, “for instance, if I asked you what number the first letter of your name is in the alphabet, you wouldn’t be able to tell me right aw–”
“Ten,” I said.
“What?”
“J. J is ten,” I said again.
He stared at me.
“I happened to learn it while looking at the alphabet when I was five or six, and it just stayed in my brain,” I told him.
Then we did an exercise on retention. “I’m going to tell you a story,” he said, “and then I’m going to send you out of the room for five minutes, and when you come back, you have to repeat as much of the story back to me as possible.”
He told me a long and meandering story with no plot or structure, just a random series of events, place names, actions, etc. Then he sent me out of the room.
I looked at the wall for a while.
He called me back in five minutes later, stood me up in front of the class, and asked me to repeat “just as much of the story as you remember.” Apparently while I’d been gone he’d been telling the class about how eyewitness accounts aren’t reliable because people don’t remember things well after a certain period of time.
So I told his story back to him– not verbatim, but certain phrases were exact– and watched the consternation in his face as I accidentally blew up his (valid! and extensively studied!) lesson about how bad people’s retention is.
“It’s like a song,” I tried to explain to him, and the class. “Or a poem. Every part of the story has a little tag to remember it. I looked at the chalkboard while you were saying this part. My leg itched while you were saying that part. A chair squeaked during the next part. Then I just have to come back and go over all the sensations that I had while you were”
“Sit down,” he said.
I sat.

ADHD version: A friend asked, on a field trip, why I knew the scientific name for Caltha palustris, “Well, we did that [one week long] field ID course [three years previously] and we saw it in one of the bogs”.
This, I was informed, is very much not a normal reason to remember the scientific name of a plant for the rest of your life.
It took me five whole years to learn when my partner’s birthday is.
I can remember specific details about games I played over two decades ago that I have not played since.
I once forgot it was my birthday. On my birthday. And when my sister (Who lived several hours away) jumped out of hiding and yelled happy birthday, I looked around to see who she was talking to.
