Pistachio and Ginger Biscuits Recipe

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

Having purchased some pistachio cream to make some chocolates, which didn’t turn out as I had wanted, there was most of a jar of it left. So, I wondered on it for a few days and finally had the idea to make some biscuits with it. Using just a normal recipe for vanilla biscuits and substituting the butter for pistachio cream as well as adding some fresh ginger. It went well…

90g Pistachio Cream

80g Caster sugar

185g Plain flour

1 large egg

1 tsp of vanilla extract

3 tsp fresh crushed ginger

Mix the cream and sugar together to form a smooth paste, whisk the egg, ginger and vanilla together and add to the mixture, combine until smooth. Add the flour and bicarb and form a dough.

Then roll out, cut into desired shapes and place in the fridge for about 15 minutes before cooking. Bake on 160°c (fan oven) for 10-12 minutes or until start to brown. Then place on cooling rack, and enjoy eating them…

Consumed

It started with Consumerism, people and products, psychological testing and techniques to get us to buy those products. And keep buying them, changing them, desiring more and different.

And as the Monopoly machine moved forward, a change seems to have occurred in the last decade or so. Where we are no longer the customer and the buyer, no longer the consumer, we appear to have become the consumed. We are the product.

Where the corporate provider has turned into a corporate hoover. Rather than sell you things and keep providing to you, they want to strip everything back, take your houses, your possessions, your livelihood, and even separate you from your family. To be an individual pod that can provide itself as the product. So you can provide to them. Your data, thoughts, health, time and offspring.

But initially, we were already consumed, because in order for that conveyor to keep moving, it required our time and thoughts, to be consumed by society and what it wanted from us. To make sure we qualify and are graded, that we are allowed to take part, that we don’t get left out or ignored, each lining up to take our place that had been set for us. Not just by society of course, we ran with the idea quite well in our own groups and smaller family structures, created our own little systems to run within it, Expectations and circumstance shaping much of the mentality that emerged.

Being aware that you are A Commodity doesn’t change it though, as for the most part, I don’t think people really minded the exchange of time into money. Then you exchange your money for things you need to be able to continue to give them your time, and get that money. Going back and forth like a perfect cycle. Except now it’s all gone a bit wrong, it seems more time is required, to make more money, just so they can take more money from you. Making Money from Misery seems to be the new model unfortunately, with the previous ideas of stability, consistency and prosperity being overhauled, with a new unstable, inconsistent and weak mindset leading the way. Somewhat mind-boggling to many that so few people are allowed to be ‘in charge’ of such important decisions and changes, without being accountable or having to face any consequences. In fact, they often get rewarded for incompetence and gross misconduct, facing no real-life comeback at all. It really is quite bizarre, unless you realise that none of us probably are beholden to many laws, or written rules they come up with and pretend to play by. As if we are all just playing some rather vast and elaborate game of make-believe, pretending the person who claimed to be king in the castle was in fact so, but actually it was just a sofa fort and a bunch of kids, using their imagination to create and maintain the illusion. Until you were called in for dinner, then it all just dropped away in a second, as if it none of it was real in the first place…

A Need to be Cool

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

Why is there a sudden and almost urgent need to cool the planet? Sun dimming, sucking carbon out of the ocean, and other crazy ideas they come up with. What are they really afraid of if it gets a bit warmer? They have spun a story over the years, of rising sea levels, desertification, and catastrophic implications of it happening. Given how selective they are with the truth, I deem it quite possible that they were lying about that too. Trying to lay the foundations to mentally and financially cripple everyone later with climate alarmism and where we are now. Net Zero strategy commences. Which funnily enough, can be avoided apparently if you pay attention to the convenient price tag on it. That you pay for, and someone else gets rich from, without the climate getting better, or more stable.

I just did another article a few days ago, recapping the dimming idea in Weather It’s a Good Idea, but I can’t help thinking in some strange way, they are telling a part truth. Revealing that they do need to cool the planet, part of their overall plan having to be publicly revealed so they achieve what they want, to then steamroll it over society without approval. Otherwise perhaps, they lose control. If things are warm and bountiful and people are happy and have prospects, then it changes the overall mental landscape and psychological grip of control they currently have. Because that is what they are trying to change first, followed by the physical one.

People who are now paying attention are rightly thinking through the implications of it or what they are proposing, versus what they say is the problem. The effect it will have on people, plants, animals, agriculture, weather systems, seasons, stability, and so on. And most normal people without an invested interest, seem in agreement, it’s madness. Maybe they didn’t think that many people would actually think it through, perhaps they are so confident now in their extreme wants for nature and society, they just don’t care whether people are on board or not. Clearly the politicians are working for themselves and their overseers, but do not listen to, or care for what ‘The People’ have to say or think.

So, knowing they have already long sold us out, we must then look at those who are all for it, or appear to be. What is their invested interest in any of the technologies, patents, contracts and payments for this to be made public and pushed further? And if they have none, where then is their reasoning and logic? Are they relying on the information and data that has been strategically fed to the public over the years? Or have they weighed up the realities of a somewhat warmer climate and what that might mean? When you read newspaper headline of ‘Horror heatwave to hit 22 degrees’ you realise they want people to fear the warm and greener times. Even if it’s a ridiculous headline in reality, it’s put out there as serious. and that is what makes it of concern.

And other than the obvious one of controlling people through harsh temperatures and costly electricity, mentioned in Convenience, or Dependence? I think of what else might happen if it gets warmer, of what else is hidden by cold, ice and inhospitable terrain. Because if it does get warmer and ice starts melting, maybe there aren’t huge floods as we are told, and it is more about what might get revealed before they can hide it or take control of it. Think of if Antarctica and Greenland were to be ice free in the next ten years, without any flooding caused to the rest of the continents, I should imagine people would start to think quite differently about the world and it’s possibilities…
