Made a 4 course, simple Desi meal today. Easy, affordable, very delicious and anyone can do it.
The menu:
1) Khatti Daal - lentils with lemon tang and spices for kick.
2) Keema - ground beef
3) Aloo Mattar Gobi - Cauliflower, Peas and Potatoes
4) Talawa Ghosht - fried beef
Behold my beautiful khatti daal and classy Desi uncle Tupperware 2/
Behold my Aloo Gobi Mattar. Those florets didn't break and the potatoes didn't mash. 3/
Behold the Kheema (we originally came from Hyderabad pre partition so we add unnecessary "kh" in ever word. Others call it Keema) 4/
And finally, because my wife devoured it last week, a return of the talawa ghosht. It will be finished by tonight. All my photos and lighting suck, forgive me. (@secupp I still owe you the recipe.)

All this can be made easy at home if you dig this type of food.

Rick Wilson knows this comment isn't a knock on him, but let me tell y'all if we casually used profanity on TV like him & several other folks recently, our careers would be over. This is a privilege reserved for a few. Commentators of color can back me up on this. Had to say it.
Example: Reza Aslan was fired because he called Trump a "piece of shit" on Twitter. He isn't the only person of color "canceled" for such an offense.
To this day, pretty much every Muslim journalist and commentator I know, and many POC, still say, "If they could fire Reza for that tweet...what will they do to us?" Just something to think about moving forward.

Today was the 1 year anniversary of our Nusayba being cancer free. She had stage 4 liver cancer. She needed a full liver transplant. An anonymous donor at the time, @ShawnZed, stepped up to donate a piece of his liver. She's now 4, eating her Cinnabon & full of sass. God is good.
Please consider being a liver donor. The liver grows back, & you will save a life. Also, please donate to funding ATRT research at Dana Farber, the rare cancer @KFILE's beloved Baby Francesca had. Ever little kindness goes a long way. profile.wintercycle.org/DP0276 2/
Continue sending prayers & good vibes to @KFILE & his wife & also @SarahAWildman's daughter, Orli, who also endured cancer & a liver transplant last year. She was floormates w/ our Nusayba during chemo. My family loves her. Every family should have health care, help & support. 3/

You know how I know every Trump enabler will fail up?

Chris Christie has a 6 figure contract at @ABC News as a contributor. Spicer and Lewandowski were given fellowships at Harvard. Spicer also got 6 figures to appear on Dancing with the Stars.

They'll all be just fine.
.@SarahHuckabee whose job was to lie to the press and promote dangerous conspiracy theories got $$$ and a book deal from St Martin's Press, part of MacMillan, one of the "Big 5" Publishers. So much for avoiding the "the liberal media." Her book came out in September by the way.
.@MilesTaylorUSA, who was "Anonymous," wrote a book and is now a CNN contributor. He was fine with the child separation policy. He also lied to CNN about being Anonymous. He was punished...by remaining as a contributor washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/medi…

Joe and Mika opened the doors for Trump. Literally. I want personalities and media channels to really hold themselves responsible for mainstreaming Trump for ratings and access and profit. It'll never happen but we have to learn and evolve so this doesn't happen again.
You can do down the line & see where major corporate media channels, papers and several influential journalists just straight up failed. Where they openly admitted Trump was great for ratings even as he proposed a Wall, a Muslim Ban & incited racial hatred & assaulted the media.
- CNN reporter telling me Trump was great for air time.
- WH reporter lamenting Biden won bc he doesn't have as good of "access."
- Spicer having the time of his life at party for journalists in DC before the WH Corresp Dinner
- CBS Moonvess saying he's great for ratings. Etc

People in media who warned about Trump's racism & authoritarianism: @sarahkendzior, @jasonintrator, @TimothyDSnyder, @JYSexton, @mehdirhasan, @juliaioffe, @Maria_Hinojosa, @julito77, @ruthbenghiat, @djrothkopf, @mashagessen, most Black journalists, me & we were called hysterical.
I say this because the folks who called us hysterical and reactionary will continue setting the agenda and commentary for the next 4 years. Usually wrong, usually a step behind, unable and incapable of keeping a finger on the pulse of the country.
There were many others, but pardon me I ran out of space. Please give them a shout out below. It's important people acknowledge the folks who called it and tried to warn. You should listen to them, read their works, and buy their books to understand the country.

The pandemic has exposed our country and ourselves. I have permanently lost respect for many friends who have revealed themselves to be selfish, reckless and inconsiderate.
On the flip side, my respect for others has only increased, especially front line health care professionals and workers and fellow Americans who wear masks and stay at home just to protect their communities. My kids make me proud. They get all of it and wear masks. Ages 6 and 4.
The reason why I don't mind being judgemental and preachy on this issue is that we have a 4-year-old immuno-compromised daughter who survived Stage 4 cancer. We've been wearing masks and distancing since March. My parents haven't seen her or their newest granddaughter yet.
