Bloodywood is a band from New Delhi. They blend metal with traditional Indian folk instruments. It sounds hokey, but it’s done brilliantly.

This video for “Tadka” is badass. It’s a song about cooking, family, and respect for women/elders. It’s everything you wouldn’t expect from a metal song.

But it slays. If you love metal, get ready to move your body.

Did you know? In the northern Italian region of #Trentino there's this kind of pasta, actually a sort of gnocchi, literally called "Priest-stranglers" (strangolapreti). Curiously, a bit more south (Emilia Romagna/marche) you find another different kind of pasta, called "Priest chockers" (strozzapreti). #Italy as strong catholic roots and equally strong anti-clerical roots, and all comes out in interesting mixes over the dinner table. #cooking #food

🇩🇴🇺🇸Today's visit to my mother Millie in #Dorchester (a #Boston neighborhood) meant I wasn't leaving without her amazing homemade tostones, chuletas, and bacalaitos. Feeling loved and well-fed! 😋

#ScribesAndMakers 2025.07.22 — Show us something you've created. Tell us the story behind it.

There's not much of a story, here. Both my spouse and I have families where preserving fruit in alcohol was a thing (Ukrainian & Italian extraction). In both traditions, what got used was with a neutral spirit, aka vodka. My grandmother used to make her vodka, and reportedly blew up the kitchen sink in a Chicago apartment a long time ago.

These cherries are preserved in bourbon, and newly made so they've about a month to go to be fully enjoyed. I'm creative when it comes to food and food preparation, so a few years ago after making vodka cherries and having left over cherries after running out of the Tito's, I tried a bunch of things like Triple Sec and Old Granddad. The batch I made with Uncle Nearest generated a fandom.

Sadly, I used my reserved Uncle Nearest for this batch. The new bottles just bought, obviously made by a distiller who bought out the original entrepreneurs, cheapened it. It was obvious: dark brown verse light reddish brown, even discounting the address change. Sad.

I think they'll make good cherries next year, though, if not for drinking neat.

Quart bottles stuffed with dark cherries, mixed with a solutions of mostly bourbon and sage honey diluted in water. The resulting cherry bourbon cordial is wonderful, as are the boozy cherries. An empty bottle of Uncle Nearest 1856 lays empty in the foreground.
