That zoup looks really good! Would you be able to provide a recipe of some kind?
oh sure let me write it down before I forget
BUNJY RECIPE BOOK: TAX SHELTER CHICKEN SOUP
this is a variant on "marry me chicken soup", hence the name. it's really a type of tuscan chicken soup with midwest ingredients. I put dried peppers in mine, but you can omit those and it will still be insane.
YOU WILL NEED:
1 lb ground chicken
1 largish white onion, roughly diced
4 medium stalks celery, roughly diced
5 fat cloves of garlic, minced or run through a garlic press
6 cups chicken stock
4-5 handfuls of baby spinach
3 oz sundried tomatoes, cut into strips (the kind in the bag, not the kind in oil)
half a boxish of shell pasta
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp dried thyme
salt to taste
splash of white wine vinegar
2-3 dried hot peppers (optional)
olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
in a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat, add a couple tbsp olive oil and brown your ground chicken until it's mostly cooked, then add the onion and celery. let it cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and the celery is cooked. add the garlic, thyme, sundried tomatoes, peppers (if using) and paprika, and stir just until the garlic smell has mellowed. add the chicken stock and scrape any browned residue off the bottom of the pot, then add the lid and cook until the tomatoes are hydrated. add the shell pasta and cover again until the pasta is al dente, then lower the heat to low, remove the lid and add the cream. stir to incorporate and add the spinach and stir around until it's totally wilted. add a small splash of white wine vinegar and salt to taste, and serve immediately. no marriage license required.

I am Shams from Gaza, 17 years old, a girl from a family of 7. I was in my first year of high school before the war. I loved my family, my school, my friends, and life itself. But the war came and took everything I loved away.
The days have passed filled with loss and hunger. We no longer go to school—education has stopped, my school and home were bombed, and now my sister, her four daughters, and I all live in a single room.
We are struggling just to find a bite to eat, to have a roof that protects us from rain, rocket shrapnel, and the smell of gunpowder. Time passed, and I was supposed to take my final exams this year, but the war took away our right to education in every way.
We are facing the worst living conditions—insanely high prices for food, cleaning supplies, and medicine. We are displaced after losing our home. My father was injured while trying to find food; he suffers from a herniated disc in his back.
We are truly in need of help. Life here is almost impossible, and the conditions are extremely harsh. Please help me secure shelter, food, medical care, and at least a livable situation. A little from you can make a big difference.
This post is ancient and stupid but I still laugh whenever I see it
Ancient and BRILLIANT, I think you mean.

Do you want to tell us about Western Mexico in Mesoamerica?
It's an older meme I made, but it holds true. I could talk for hours if people let me. Especially if I had a screen to share images, show citations, etc.
But instead I will take this opportunity to address many of the tags in the reblogs asking why West Mexico has been ignored.
There's no definitive answer as to why, but more just a collection of small reasons that has resulted in a different historiography. Other than the Kingdom of Tzintzuntzan, there were not large states for the Spanish to conquer. It was much more fragmented, politically, culturally, and linguistically, than other parts of Mesoamerica.
To add to that, after the Mixton War of 1540, many parts of West Mexico were depopulated as a result of the war, enslaved and sent east, killed as retribution for participating in the war, or fled to other areas of Mesoamerica (such as the mountainous areas to the north of the Chichimeca area of north-central Mexico).
There's also the colonial and historic history of Mexico to consider. Mexico City was the center of New Spain and later the country of Mexico. So the focus was on Central Mexico, as a political center, trading center, and cultural center.
After the revolution about a century ago, Mexico began building its nationalism and part of that hinged on the history of Central Mexico (and also the Maya, who have a long and drawn out conquest history, history of rebellions in the colonial period, and general resistance to anyone that isn't Maya) leaving many areas of Mexico's cultural heritage to languish.
There was also a misconception about West Mexican archaeological potential beginning in the late 19th century. Because there were no large states other than the Kingdom of Tzintzuntzan, it was assumed there had never been states before the Postclassic. So one really tried to look for settlements and surface architecture. Instead, interest in the region stemmed from the ceramic figurines most often looted from shaft and chamber tombs located underground.
Those are some of the big ones that come to mind.
@kholexcx this post should answer your question related to the meme
@kholexcx I had a whole answer written out for you about the Toltec and West Mexico. But I tried saving the post as a draft while I tried to understand why my 75 page West Mexico bibliography on Google Doc was apparently deleted. By the time I found an archived version on the Wayback Machine and made a new Google Doc, my draft was apparently not saved by the Tumblr app it is now lost. So, I have switched to my laptop and will try and remember what I wrote.
I took a screenshot and reblogged this because I want more people to see what I am about to write in case they don't check the comments. My intention isn't to at you or call you out.
One of the interesting things about West Mexico is how the idea that the Toltec were some sort of dominating force in Mesoamerica collapses under the weight of scrutiny. When one looks at the archaeological record of West Mexico and compares it to Central Mexico there is no evidence that the Toltec had any sort of influence in the West.
None.
Nada.
Zip.
"But wait!" you may exclaim. Why do some things look Toltec in the West? Why do the artifacts start looking Toltec from their previous weird and odd shaft tomb tradition aesthetic?
The answer is that the West and Central Mexico were settled by migrants from the Bajio in Guanajuato, Queretaro, and Zacatecas. Starting in the 6th century, a long term drought hit northern Mesoamerica. This forced the inhabitants to do one of two things: chance subsistence strategies from only agriculture to a mix of agriculture and hunting and gathering OR leave.
A number of them did chance subsistence strategies. Eventually to the point where some of them were mostly hunting and gathering with some agriculture (AKA Chichimecas by the Late Postclassic). But a heck of a lot of them decided to leave. How did they know where to go? Well, the Bajio was along the trade routes connecting Mesoamerica to the American Southwest and its precious turquoise. A lot of the turquoise that made its way to Mesoamerica did so more to central and southern Mesoamerica, but some of it did make its way West. So, the people of the Bajio packed up and followed the trade routes eventually settling in areas like Tula, Hidalgo and the Atamejac and Tequila Valleys of Jalisco. Because these groups came from a common point of origin, for a time they continued in parallel despite the distance between them and lack of communication. Eventually, they diverged enough to become distinct. That's why we have the Toltec in Hidalgo, the El Grillo in Jalisco, the Aztatlan in Nayarit, and El Chanal in Colima.
In West Mexico, these migrants displaced, killed, or integrated with the previous shaft tomb tradition practicing peoples (Teuchitlan Culture, Ixtlan del Rio, Comala, etc.). We're still not clear what happened exactly, only that everything changes in the archaeological record. Different ways of making pottery, differing ways of making tools, different tools, different mortuary practices, different public architecture, different domestic architecture, different settlement locations. Everything. All of it. There is, as far as we can tell, zero continuity between the Classic and Epiclassic periods in West Mexico.
The REALLY interesting thing about grappling with the Toltec's lack of exertion is taking a critical eye to Chichen Itza. And let me tell you, it is a house of cards on a foundation of sand of bad interpretations.
And that is the great thing about West Mexico. It forces you to not be myopic and only concentrate on your small area. Instead, you need to look more broadly. You need to understand the variation and similarities across Mesoamerica in order to make more sound and grounded interpretations of the archaeological record. It's why I love the area and do my best to try and get people interested in it. Although, I am a poor salesman and probably don't do the best job of selling it.
