Recipe: Lemon & Chili Pickled Onions

I made these last weekend and we have been eating them all week and they are delicious. So I'm sharing the recipe with you along with the changes I made.

Original recipe: Lemon & Chili Pickled Onions

My slight changes:

Ingredients
  • 1/2 large white onion, thinly sliced 
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ancho green chili powder
  • 1 tsp salt, plus more as needed to taste once pickled
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (it took me 2 large lemons)
Instructions
  1. Place onions, chili powders, salt, and lemon juice in a bowl and mix by hand to completely coat the onions.
  2. Transfer to a resealable container and gently press down onions to cover with juice.
  3. Add lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow pickling time.
  4. Eat them straight out of the container or on chalupas, tacos, wraps, etc.

SqWA Fundraiser: SG-1 & Doctor Who

Expert on Loan (300 words) by Sharpest_Asp
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Doctor Who, Stargate SG-1
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Tegan Jovanka, Samantha "Sam" Carter
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Fusion, Triple Drabble
Summary:

Sam is waiting for UNIT's adviser.



Expert on Loan

Sam Carter didn't quite know what to expect as she waited for a so-called civilian adviser at an upper level of the base. She was still not fully in the loop concerning recent alliances with a paramilitary and scientific project out of the United Kingdom that called themselves UNIT. That the two groups had agreed, provisionally, to assist one another in research about alien encounters was good enough for General Landry to extend courtesy of the base to this adviser.

An airman finally brought the adviser to her, and Sam had studied the woman as she walked in. Mature, short hair, functional but feminine outfit and make-up as well as shoes that wouldn't break her neck if she started running was a good start. The woman gave a smile that Sam could only term as 'professional' to the airman, before sizing Sam up with knowing eyes.

"Tegan Jovanka, and you're Sam Carter. You're my liaison here, and I've been asked to work with you on deciphering petroglyphs from the Outback. Warning you now, I don't much care for ranks and military nonsense," she said firmly. "Kate's father was about the only one I ever respected enough to grant his rank to him."

Sam laughed, even as she ran that against what she had been told of this partnership. This woman had to mean the head of that project, as it had been more militaristic under the current leader's father.

"Some people will be testy about it, but not me. I only insist with jackass men that just see a pair of tits," Sam said, going for informal and brassy… and felt the other woman shift gears, the smile becoming something more real and warm.

"A good way to do it," Tegan told her. "Let's go get me settled, then work!"

Plans for Reconciliation (300 words) by Sharpest_Asp
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Amanda Grayson
Additional Tags: Triple Drabble, Introspection
Summary:

Amanda is reviewing the data, and planning.



Plans for Reconciliation

It was not, she decided for her own sanity, a matter of pride. Pride implied emotion, and Sarek was a man who never, ever let emotion rule his life. Amanda's mouth almost twitched into a smile, remembering their courtship, and how carefully controlled he had been, belying that 'fact' of her husband's existence.

Given that Sarek was firmly wedded to the concept of the Federation, a bastion of support as more systems were explored and invited to join them, it was not that aspect causing this fracture of family unity.

She was certain that Sarek had merely mapped out a logical path of progression for their son, and was struggling with the consequences of Spock choosing a different path. The echoes of his first son had no doubt pushed him to look at himself, placing blame there, even as he rejected Spock's choices as illogical.

Blame was another emotionally tinged word, less clinical than 'fault' or 'error', and yet Amanda did have some awareness of her husband's need to seek perfection in all things. To have a second child reject the clear path ahead was a data point too many in Sarek's calculations of the universe.

It could also, she conceded, be that Spock's choice of Starfleet, not aboard a Vulcan science vessel, would put their son in the path of having to choose violence, something her husband rejected deeply. He fully embraced Surak's teachings, and saw force of arms as a barbaric necessity at best.

Amanda would have to carefully follow Spock's career, as the deeds he would perform came to light, so that when — and she knew eventually it would happen — Sarek capitulated to the choice, she could show him their son's commitment to avoiding violence as much as possible.

Yes, she would do that, for their reconciliation.

One fic, one podfic, after way too long

So! I wrote one of these two years ago, but finally posted it about a month ago? And I recorded the other ... man, it had to be 2017 or 2018, and then I couldn't figure out how to edit it, so it languished in a file until Celli helped me out. So here, have a some ficishness.

Marvel's Moon Knight (TV)
Everything is Jake
Jake's take on our story so far. Not that anyone asked.

[Perri & Rheanna both helped a lot with this, and probably thought I was never going to post it. I finally remembered to finish editing it. I had fun with this.]

Marvel (CA:FA, and CA:tWS)
God Save the Queen by Copperbadge
"Bucky was having a great time with Lizbet, until her dad got involved."

My reading of Copperbadge's utterly hilarious "God Save the Queen", which I recorded, forgot I recorded, then remembered, then Celli edited, posted, and created a cover for it.

There, I am accomplished, and off to record another podfic!

(no subject)

As part of prepping to teach English again, I got out a lot of my old materials. One series of lessons I used to use, in 2005, was a social justice unit about civil rights, unjust wars, and activism. Why is it that it is all still relevant now, in 2025? All of the overhead transparencies can be relegated to the trash, but the lessons will still work.

I have been able to sidestep the latest bullshit education legislation in Texas - the required posting of the 10 Commandments in every classroom. I have gotten out of teaching US history just in time, when everything I would tell the kids about our government, our Constitution and Bill of Rights, and our ideals would be a self-evident lie.

I feel bad for the people I have left behind, but I am selfishly glad I don't have to do it anymore.

Aspirations

I am constantly finding parts of aspirational projects that were abandoned or otherwise lost to time. While cleaning up my hobby desk, I found four bottles of DecoArt craft paint and have no idea what I was intending to do with them... (black, white, red, purple - so a very basic set of colors that isn't helpful) Reddit helpfully let me know that while it's physically possibly to thin it down to airbrush consistency, it's not fun anywhere in the process. So that's out.

I also have an olive and a grey that I will someday tinker with and mix to repair worn spots on a wooden figure, but I've been putting that off for like a decade now and intend to put it off for a bit longer. I suppose the black and white can stick around for that?

(I guess these can all stick around for the hangar/manger if I ever get back to that? Not so much the red, but maybe the others can get used...)

The dining room table is also covered in zine-binding/related debris. I need to see what's there and what needs to be bound and do some little projects when I'm otherwise just watching something or being a mushroom.

But right now I'm a mushroom because it's too fucking hot.
