This follows the first recipe released earlier in November, “balls of date mush”.

For a time the various Al Queda franchises were putting together a stable of media properties à la Murdoch:

Media: "Al Qaeda issues English-language advice magazine for militants"
Al Qaeda Using Hashtag “#Suggestions_to_Develop_Jihadist_Media.”, Hilarity Ensues

Prompting critiques:
Media Critique: "Is al Qaeda's new English-language magazine any good?"
And counter-critiques:
Al-Qaida on U.S. Media: "Fox News 'lacks neutrality'; MSNBC 'Good' Until it Fired Keith Olbermann"
