I will not be silenced I love Palak paneer but what's saag even

a delicious ocean of flavour that the humble phulka dares to don. a delightful meadow that strikes down even the proudest buttery garlicky naan.

i'm actually gonna piss more people off and say that there are so many BETTER ways to have mustard leaves aside from sarson ka saag. she belongs in stew!! she belongs in pulusu!! she belongs in pachadi!! she belongs in syrwa!! fried with garlic!! blanched and put in soup!! if u have ever had malabar spinach (poi saag/mong toi) and liked it, you can cook sarson the same way. i promise i can change all ur minds, please believe me.

Oh my god your grandpa and grandma sound amazing

Thank you I love them both so much, they really are the warmest, funniest, most stubborn, most amazing people!! I was talking with my grandfather about the Shabana Azmi/Dharmendra plot in the movie because they had the same ultimatum of family vs. each other, and ofc they chose each other, and he dropped the METALLEST of lines, saying that he is very cowardly in general but not when it comes to love.

As an edgy kid I never considered myself a romantic; why should anyone sacrifice ease for a chance at love, you know? But as I grow older I really think I get it, and it's mostly because of them. They met each other when they were around 16 and spent years writing letters and going on walks and whatnot until at 22 they realised they were never going to get the approval of their families and decided to run away together. It wasn't easy to make a living in a big city after staying in a small town their whole life, and they didn't keep contact with any family for quite a while, and they had to compromise on a lot of other things, but after more than half a century together they both say they've never regretted any of it a day in their lives!

There’s a version of him that had loved you, he realises. He rifles through the pages of the TVA department records, detailing every single one of the words he said, throughout time and across universes. And between the sheets, one universe - in which he has said the most godawful things, the sweetest words, most honeyed with the promise of affection. This Loki, the one who just escaped with the tesseract scoffs - there’s no way he would have ever behaved this way. The Loki that fell in love with you must have been an idiot, a joke, a fool. Yet he checks the words he said to you, again and again. It’s a record of everything he said, and what he said alone - your responses haven’t been documented. Terrifyingly, he finds himself wondering what you look like.

Straight up finished the book and headed on over to your blog. Your impact

that was my goal from the start😎 spiralling on the main was worth it lol. Loved reading the book, it inspired so much crazed flailing at times? No book should have the right to do that. So really, more of Scholomance's impact than my own😅 but thank you ahh! Hope you had a great time with it too!

Hello anghraine! I've been planning to write a paper on dancing and performance in Austen (most likely in Pride and Prejudice) - and I'm wondering if you know of any work in this area? Thank you so much!

Damn, I know I’ve read some, but I don’t remember any more who wrote them. I would check JSTOR and JASNA if you can.
