Sapphires and Scorpions: A Fairy Tale From Palestine About How Generosity and Greed Are Rewarded, Episode 4, Season 2 of Fireside Folklore with Hades

Send over your dead SMS messages.Greetings, listeners! This week, we have officially begun a new season of our podcast because Persephone is no longer with us! Yes folks, Dionysus is officially handling the recipe segment. Of course, that means I won't be getting my Mutabal for quite some time, but I suppose good things come to those who wait. This week, we return to Palestine where we hear a story reminiscent of Diamonds and Toads from the Brothers Grimm, but listeners, I think this tale is a whole lot more exciting and original! This tale was adapted from Speak Bird, Speak Again by Ibrahim Muhawi. Dionysus, in his debut, provides us a recipe for a Desert Date Delight, something which pays homage to the end of Ramadan. It can be enjoyed as a mocktail or a cocktail, depending upon your age and mood. And, of course, we can't forget Zeus's Lightning Round. Once again, the prize will be a $25 gift card to Shop Palestine. Next time, we'll be taking a trip to Yemen where we'll be hearing the tale of The Cloud Camels. If you have any feedback or wish to request a tale of your own, please send a dead letter to [email protected].
