Here is my own recipe for falafel, a fried chickpea dish that can be a light snack or part of a meal.

This is one of my favorite Afghan dishes and the only one I know how to make myself.

This is my mom’s recipe for Firni, a delicious Afghan cardamom-flavored pudding.

I’ve long maintained that while I share some of its philosophies, I’m not really minimalist, at least according to any popular understanding of the term.

Highlight of the week: I got to attempt making Nasi Goreng Pattaya this week, and it turned out great!

Some days, I wonder what the internet would be like in an analog world.

Highlight of the week: I got a real, productive workday on Friday!

In my Religious Communication course last semester, we had a discussion of economics.

Keeping things short this week… Highlight of the week: I solved a problem with my computer setup that’s been bugging me for years.

Highlight of the week: My birthday was this week!

I spent most of this last week spending time with family and close friends I hadn’t seen in a long time, so I’m actually going to skip most of my usual weeknotes stuff (I either didn’t keep track or stuff is private) and keep things short and sweet.

Highlight of the week: Finally revisited The Book Thief; it’s been years since I last read it, and I really missed those characters.
