I'm not new to shakshuka, but only recently I realised how easy yet elevated it is as a quick dish. I use canned tomatoes so there's minimal food chopping involved except for a bell pepper and garlic clove. First I fry some gochujang in the pan, then I add the garlic, peppers and some spices before pouring the tomatoes into the pan. Let is simmer and thicken, then make small wells in the sauce to plop the eggs into. Let the eggs cook, and voila! An actual meal that's healthy and hearty. Love it!

my go-to quick and easy dinner! throw some sliced onions and peppers in a deep pan, get them nice and browned, add garlic, smoked paprika and cumin, plus a can of whole peeled tomatoes (crushed between your fingers). Let that simmer for while, then dig out some holes and crack eggs into them. cover until eggs are set, then top with cilantro, parsley, whatever you want. takes half an hour tops and looks impressive

I just clicked on the first video that seemed like a good explanation of what shakshuka is, but there are so many variations of it. My favorite (easiest) method is when we have leftover chili. All we do is reheat the chili in a pan, crack some eggs in it, then cover it and let them poach!

toss cubed eggplant with olive oil, s+p, cumin, coriander, and paprika; roast in the oven until browned; dump the whole sheet pan into your fav shakshuka recipe just before adding eggs.

I'm writing an essay and I've come up with three antidotes to overconsumption.
1. Consume critically. I don't care how many books you read last year - how does your favourite author use literary devices to tell their story? How does your favourite film director create a mood? Figure this out.
2. Create anything. And I really mean anything. Bake a cake, write an essay, knit a scarf. This is probably the best antidote to overconsumption because it preoccupies you, but it also helps develop some respect for what it takes to do the things that you consume.
3. Connect with people. It doesn't need to be that deep. DM your favourite content creator that you like their stuff. Comment on people's PI.FYI recs. If you enjoy consuming another person's content, letting them know is just a nice thing to do (and helps avoid parasocial relationships).

Last Monday I took a day off work (paid!) to go to the cinema with my friend and watch three films all in one go - A Complete Unknown, Babygirl and Nosferatu. We went out for coffees and dinner between films, but it was fun to make an outing of it while catching up on the newest films. Try and space out the screenings strategically so you donβt end up spending 12 hours out and about like we did.

I ainβt ordering pizza delivery in this economy. Iβve got a go-to pizza dough recipe that never fails, it takes 1.5 hours to make including dough-rise time, and at this point I prefer it to most restaurant pizzas.
