16 GROUNDCOVER NEWS FOOD Dubai chocolate strawberry cups ADIAN ABED AYAT SOHOUBAH U-M student contributors Ingredients 8 ounces kataifi dough, chopped or 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal / lightly crushed Mini Wheats cereal 2 tablespoons butter 1 cup pistachio cream or pistachio butter 1.5 cups dark or milk chocolate chips 1 pound fresh strawberries, sliced in halves or quarters 2 to 4 tbsp chopped pistachios (optional) Directions If using kataifi dough, chop it into small pieces. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat and add the kataifi. Cook, stirring often, until it becomes golden brown and crispy. Watch it carefully so it does not burn. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly. If using Rice Krispies or Mini Wheats instead, you can skip this step. Place the toasted kataifi, or cereal substitute, in a bowl and mix it with the pistachio cream until evenly combined. Stir until the mixture is well coated and has a crunchy, creamy texture. Melt the chocolate chips until intervals, stirring smooth. You can do this in the microwave in short between each, or in a heat-safe bowl over simmering water (double boiler). Let it cool just slightly so it is still pourable but not too hot. Divide the strawberries among four small glasses or dessert cups. Spoon some of the pistachio mixture over the strawberries, then add a layer of melted chocolate. Repeat the layers if needed until the cups are filled. Top with chopped pistachios, if using, and a little extra melted chocolate. Serve right away, or chill briefly before serving.

Building on the lineages of Black trans activism, in fall 2023, the group launched a campaign called “We are family, too” to uplift Black trans people and highlight their important role in the Black community. For Ahmoy, learning about people like the butch lesbian activist Rita “Bo” Brown, who took up arms in the 1970s to wage a guerrilla campaign against the state as part of the George Jackson Brigade in Seattle, helped to reshape his view of what community safety looks like. When he attends events like Trans Pride, he now thinks of all the hidden labor of countless organizers who take community safety into their own hands. He hopes that the new generation of queer people who are becoming politicized take the time to study their history. “I’m excited for us to figure out different systems to take care of each other,” Ahmoy said. “I’m excited for us to wrest control of this narrative. The radical queer movement is here and it’s only going to get bigger. But something I want from this movement is an understanding of history so that we don’t … try to reinvent the wheel.” This brief summary of Seattle’s history of queer radical activism extends an invitation to amplify the narratives of many queer PHONE (734) 994 - 9174 • PEOPLESFOOD.COOP NATURAL FOODS MARKET & DELI 216 N.
