Strawberries, with cheesecake (vegan) on the side recipe

-One container of vegan cream cheese

-3/4 cup of vegan sour cream

- bag of powdered sugar *yes, this isn’t healthy, but it’s cheesecake for crying out loud!*

- Strawberries

-Crushed gram crackers

Directions

-Mix cream cheese and sour cream in a bowl, and add in powdered sugar to taste. I would start with 1/2 cup and see how sweet that is. If you want it sweeter add a little more.

-Clean berries, and cut off the top and scoop out middle with a small knife.

-Fill center of berries with cheesecake filling.

-Top with crushed gram crackers.

YUM YUM YUM

1) This looks delicious.

2) This is NOT what I’d call a vegan recipe. This was, “Oh hey, just get the vegan versions of these typically animal based products.” If I see “vegan” in the title, I expect the ingredients to creatively work around or substitute for the animal products, not just be the exact same ingredients the recipe would normally call for, only with the word “vegan” written next to ‘em.

3) I really love the gifs that show how to make it. It’s a nice trend going on for Tumblr.

gonna try this next week!!!

(Please click on each photo to read what it says, this is very important)

I was walking down Michigan Avenue with Ali and a couple of other people and this middle aged African American man was passing out this little books, which I thought were maps of the city or something. Then we walked down half a block until I realized what I was reading. He was passing out a book on each pillar of Islam, I just so happened to grab the Pilgrimage one. Basically, a man named Abdul dies in a plane crash on the way back from the Pilgrimage and when he dies, he meets Jesus. As most people know, Jesus is just as an important part of Islam as he is in Christianity, he is a very praised Prophet of ours. This man Abdul is taken up to the gates of Heaven where he meets Jesus who tells him that he’s going to Hell for practicing a false religion. That Allah is a false God and his good deeds, charity, prayers do not count because it’s from a false religion. In the comic book, Jesus says the Prophet Muhammad “rejected him therefore he is not in Heaven” and it goes on like that.

Ali’s friend got upset, we walked back down the block to the old man and handed him back one of the books. Ali’s friend then said to him, “It hurts me that you of all people, someone who has faced so much discrimination in this country as an african-american would wish this kind of prejudice and hate upon Muslims. I will pray for your ignorance because you’re doing nothing but spreading hate among our peers, this is useless and sad.” and the man simply smiled and said “yeah, sure okay.”

I couldn’t really stop thinking about this because I live in Chicago. It has such a huge diverse muslim community and it makes me wonder how many people have read these comic books and have actually believed that this is Islam. It makes me sad that people use the name of Jesus to spew this bullshit.

This is not Islam.
This is not Christianity.
This is pure bigotry.

The Floating Venice Mosque Project

Intense public discourse going on to this very topic meant finding an understanding of the complex constellation between art, culture and architecture. The heritage of Venetian architecture is a heritage of Islamic architecture. This encouraged the development of the initial idea and shaped the floating mosque as a inter-cultural gathering point, making a new world within the compounds of Venice.

 The process of transformation of places like Venice today has the ability to underline the emblematic changes ongoing in the European society. Based on the classical tradition of mosques, with a courtyard, the patio, and the dome shaped structure on a square foot print and the minaret, being the classical elements, the project needed a contemporary transformation to underline the paradigm change. In the context cultural installation made of balls, gym balls, which are easily available on the market, that will be distributed to the residents of Venice after the venue, in the sense that every body is part of this installation. The reuse of the balls, by distributing them to the people responds to the sustainable aspect of this installation.
