If you speak Arabic, I highly highly recommend following May's Show, a cooking show hosted by a Palestinian woman in Egypt. She teaches Palestinian dishes, shares anecdotes and stories about Palestinian culture, and introduces and concludes every episode with a speech about hope and tells us to never stop believing that Palestine will be free and that we'll all celebrate together.

I'm repeatedly struck by just how different recipes for the same dish are in different languages, even if the English-language recipes are written by immigrants or children of immigrants.
other than mine, I can't find a single English-language recipe for a West-Asian-style turnip pickle that is lacto-fermented rather than pickled in vinegar...!

Mussakhan (The national dish of Palestine)
Oven roasted chicken with lots of onion and olive oil, served on a bed of flatbread. This recipe is a sure crowd pleaser, that's not only pleasing to the eye but a treat for the tastebuds as well.

I first made Mussakhan on my birthday a few months ago as a part of the Palestinian menu that I put together for my friends. Palestinian cuisine has always fascinated me, but when things got ugly in…

Made shakshuka for the first time…the eggs were the completely wrong texture but I’m pretty proud of everything else and it tasted pretty great (tho I think I went a teensy bit heavy handed with the cumin)

So most recipes for watercolor binder recommend using clove essential oil for its antimicrobial and antifungal properties (so your paints dont start growing mold)
Well I could not find clove oil for a reasonable price anywhere near me
I did however find cinnamon essential oil at walmart
So I did some digging and cinnamon oil can be used in place of clove oil for antimicrobial and antifungal properties. SO im not sure why all the watercolor binder recipes that tell you to use essential oil specify clove oil. I thought maybe other oils might make the paint weird? But I figured it was worth a shot to try the cinnamon oil. So far the paint seems to work just fine and its hardening nicely.
So if youre making watercolor binder but can't find clove oil (and you want to have an essential oil in there for the added antifungal properties) just know that any with antimicrobial and antifungal properties are likely ok to use. (This note isn't the point of this post I just feel the need to put it cuz I had a very confusing week of digging around online to figure out if I could substitute clove oil for another type of oil because literally every single recipe that recommended using an essential oil said CLOVE oil which makes me think that clove oil must have something about it that makes it different from other essential oils with antimicrobial and antifungal properties thats making all these other people use it specifically and was finding NOTHING and decided to just say "fuck it" and see what happens-.....anyway.)
This has had the lovely effect of making my paints smell very strongly of cinnamon
Which is definitely an upgrade from how I imagine they wouldve smelled had i not added essential oil at all. The gum arabic solution smelled very bad lol. The cinnamon oil helped quite a lot.
