WOMEN’S EDUCATION

Building this global support for the idea that human rights are universal [ . . . ] is a powerful antidote to the divisions our world faces.

There’s this idea that it’s okay to wear yourself down as long as others view you as beautiful.

Pasta e Fagioli (aka bean soup)

This warm and hearty dish has been prepared by my family for generations. During the colder months, this soup was a costefficient way to keep large families full. It’s packed with nutrients and flavour, and can be prepared with simple and affordable ingredients. My favourite thing about this dish growing up was that my nonna used to use orecchiette or as we called them: “hats.”

In this recipe, any type of small pasta will do, but these are much more fun. This soup can be kept refrigerated for up to three days.

Prep Time: 20 min

Cook Time: 1 hour

Ingredients (2 servings):

· ½ small yellow onion

· 2 carrots, diced

· 2 celery stalks, diced

· 1 can romano beans

· 3–4 canned tomatoes, peeled

· 1 cup orecchiette pasta

· optional: parmesan cheese (a little, or a lot!)

Recipe:

1. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Cook vegetables on medium heat for 3–5 minutes.

2. Gradually add water a little bit at a time until the vegetables are covered and the pot is about ¾ full of water.

3. Simmer for 1 hour, then add pasta and continue to cook for as long as it indicates on the package. Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with parmesan, and enjoy!

Rainbow Salads

During quarantine, my family and I went through a huge salad phase. To this day, I still prepare big salads with lots of colourful veggies so they are less boring — both in visual components and taste. To save money and avoid wasting fresh produce, one of my favourite tips is to buy jarred or canned items where you can. This recipe is just my personal go-to vegetables, but feel free to adjust and substitute according to your preferences!

Prep Time: 15 min

Ingredients (makes 2–3 servings):

· 4 handfuls of pre-washed lettuce of your choice (can last up to a week in the fridge!)

· 2 handfuls of fresh veggies of your choice, chopped (my favourites are purple cabbage, radishes, and matchstick carrots!)

· ½ cup sweet corn, beets, or peas (or a combination of all three)

· ½ cup budget-friendly protein (firm tofu, canned chickpeas, or canned tuna)

· optional: zesty green olives or jarred red peppers

Recipe:

1. Add lettuce, chopped veggies, canned veggies, and protein to a large bowl.

2. Toss with the dressing and enjoy!

Tex-Mex Taco Stuffed Peppers

This recipe combines two recipes that remind me of home: stuffed peppers and tacos. My mom used to have a taco night at least once a week when my brother and I were growing up. We loved picking our toppings and putting our tacos together. Additionally, stuffed peppers connect me to my Eastern European heritage, and is one of the first dishes I ever prepared for my family on my own. This five-star recipe adapted from Spend with Pennies is a perfect, nostalgic combination of the two!

Prep time: 20 min

Cook time: 30 min

Ingredients:

· 4 red or green bell peppers

· 1 pound lean ground beef (you can substitute for turkey, chicken, or a vegan alternative)

· 1 small onion, diced

· 3 cloves of garlic, minced

· 2 teaspoons chilli powder

· ½ teaspoon cumin

· 1 can diced tomatoes with peppers (or just diced tomatoes will work fine)

· 1 can enchilada sauce

· 2 cups cooked rice

· 2 cups cheddar cheese

Recipe:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Wash and seed bell peppers and cut in half from top to bottom. Place in a greased 9×13 baking dish and set aside.

2. Brown ground beef, onion, and garlic. Drain any fat. Stir in chilli powder, cumin, diced tomatoes, ⅔ cup of the enchilada sauce. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes, remove from heat and stir in cooked rice.

3. Divide beef mixture into the pepper halves. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.

4. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes or until peppers are cooked and cheese is melted.

5. Top with your favourite taco toppings and serve.

“Perfect Blue ft. Tohji”

Bayonet Records

Off the album Glitch Princess, distorted vocals mix with echoey synths, lulling your ears into cyberspace. A blend of soft and gritty, yeule sings about their woes, comparing themself to “A broken link, a 404.” yeule’s entire discography deserves to be on this playlist, as their other projects focus on “virtual escapism” and internet identity.

“Hollow Season ft. INE, C JAMM, YUNHWAY”

By Nochang

Heavy electric guitar pairs with off-beat rap for a stripped-back track. At times it feels unfinished, but is also overloaded with sound. Nochang layers screaming and yelling as a haunting background to his exploration of loneliness and judgement. The song spans seven minutes but with the plethora of features, it transitions into several segments seamlessly. A harmony of “Would you look at your own self of now and punish your sins?” fades out the track.

“Day One”

By Lights

Experimental and distorted — “Day One” provided the framework for Lights’ grainiest album Siberia. The piece creates the “lo-fi electro sound through analog equipment,” and spans nearly nine minutes. It ebbs and flows, but feels slow and endless, reminding me of a desert. Off-beat and fuzzy, this track provides an odd comfort to the human condition.

“PIETA”

By CIFIKA

Likely the smoothest piece on this playlist, “PIETA” is filled with textured synths and layered vocals. It starts out simple enough, with a techno beat backing the melody. Percussion is added in, with harmonies overlapping onto each other, gradually becoming more sonically complex. As someone who “always wanted to look like a future person,” CIFIKA successfully creates a futuristic vibe in both the sonic and visual aspects of her releases.

“Heterocetera”

By Lotic

Tri Angle Records

Wanna feel like you’re a rotting cyborg? This atmospheric track embodies an empty, metal wasteland — reminiscent of technology left behind. It uses a heavy beat and unsettling synths to set the tone for a scene that feels like humanity is already gone.
