They are relatively easy to use, with some models coming with preset cooking times and temperatures that make it simple to cook different foods.

For serious bakers, a stand mixer is an essential tool. It's also great for making sauces, mashed potatoes, frosting, cake batters, cookie doughs, and so much more.
Food Processor
A food processor is an essential kitchen appliance for any home cook. It can quickly and easily chop, shred, slice, and mix ingredients, saving you time and effort in the kitchen. It's also great for making purees, doughs, sauces, dips, and more. If you're looking to invest in a quality food processor, you should look for one with multiple speed settings and accessories such as blades and discs. These accessories will give you the flexibility to create different types of foods with ease.

Keto Waffles with Almond Flour and No-Sugar Vermont Syrup: A Delicious and Healthy Choice
If you’re following a keto diet, you know that finding tasty, low-carb alternatives to your favorite foods can be a challenge. But what if you could enjoy a classic breakfast staple—waffles—without sacrificing your health goals? With almond flour and no-sugar Vermont syrup, you can make delicious keto waffles that not only taste great but offer several health benefits. Here’s how, plus why they’re a great choice for your diet.
Recipe for Keto Waffles with Almond Flour
Ingredients:
• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk alternative)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
• A pinch of salt
• No-sugar Vermont syrup (for topping)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your waffle maker.
2. In a bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth.
4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing until well blended.
5. Pour the batter into the preheated waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 3-4 minutes).
6. Serve your waffles hot, drizzled with no-sugar Vermont syrup, and enjoy!
Health Benefits of Keto Waffles
1. Low in Carbs, High in Healthy Fats
Almond flour is naturally low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats, making it an ideal ingredient for keto recipes. It helps you stay in ketosis while providing essential fatty acids that support heart health and brain function.
2. Rich in Protein
Eggs and almond flour both provide a good amount of protein, helping you feel fuller for longer. This can help curb cravings and reduce snacking throughout the day, supporting your weight loss goals.
3. Packed with Nutrients
Almond flour is a nutrient-dense alternative to traditional flour. It’s rich in vitamins and minerals like vitamin E, magnesium, and manganese, all of which contribute to overall health, including better skin, bone, and immune system function.
4. No Added Sugars
Using no-sugar Vermont syrup ensures you’re avoiding the spike in blood sugar that comes with traditional syrups. Many sugar-free syrups are sweetened with alternatives like monk fruit or stevia, which don’t affect blood glucose levels, making them perfect for keto.
5. Gluten-Free
Almond flour is naturally gluten-free, which can improve digestion and reduce inflammation in people sensitive to gluten or those with celiac disease. It’s also a more gut-friendly option for many who experience bloating with regular wheat flour.
6. Supports Weight Loss
By keeping your carb intake low and promoting a feeling of fullness, these keto waffles can help support weight loss. Almond flour is a low-glycemic ingredient, meaning it has a minimal impact on blood sugar, which helps prevent insulin spikes that can lead to fat storage.
7. Improved Energy Levels
The healthy fats and protein in these waffles provide a steady energy supply, unlike traditional carb-heavy waffles that often lead to energy crashes after eating. You’ll feel more alert and energized throughout your day.
Final Thoughts
Keto waffles made with almond flour and topped with no-sugar Vermont syrup are not just a tasty breakfast—they’re a powerhouse of nutrition that supports your keto lifestyle. With fewer carbs, plenty of healthy fats, and a host of vitamins and minerals, they’re a perfect way to start your day without derailing your progress. So go ahead, indulge in these waffles guilt-free, and enjoy the health benefits they bring!

Title: Frayed
Part: 1, 2, 3
Verse: ROTTMNT
Summary: “My papa's senses are tingling. What's going on? Is it the Feds? Brownie Scouts?”
Characters: Splinter, Mikey, Leo, Raph, Donnie, Baron Draxum
Pairings: You want stories with no hugs?! HUH? HUH? CAUSE THIS IS HOW YOU GET IT
Warnings: Draxum is a jerk, but we all knew that
In the house (Sewer? Home?) of the Hamato clan, there was no earlier riser than Mikey Minestrone Splinterson. But, of course, it came with being the (self-appointed) family chef, a role he had begged for early on. After seeing their Dad always on the brink of exhaustion from trying to bring in food and maintain the house, Mikey knew he could help. Did it take some convincing after Mikey had tried to make cereal/egg/mustard soup when he was four? Yes. But eventually, Splinter relented, and cooking became a love language between the two—even when Mikey was in the darkest of moods and struggling to get out of bed. Spending a few hours in the kitchen with Dad experimenting with recipes they had gathered (always giving the worst results to Leo, who hovered nearby eagerly) put the pep back into his step.
So, it's never a surprise when Mikey is up before everyone else. Mikey stretches his arms over his head before depositing Soup, the kitten, off his stomach. The tiny kitten barely had time to stretch his little legs before being deposited into the spot Mikey had been sleeping. He decides to curl up in the still-warm area with a soft yawn. Mikey takes a moment to give the good sport some scritches under the chin. And after that, it's a hot shower (he didn’t care if a cold shower was better for your skin, hot showers were good for your mental health, dammit) and making breakfast.
Mikey had wanted to experiment with avocado and jelly this morning, but after coming home last night, he had gone ahead with something else. Mikey mixed up a pancake batter that he and Dad had perfected years ago and let it rise in the fridge overnight. Then, in the morning, he leaves it for a few more minutes and starts with the other, more time-consuming, dishes, like the bacon, hash browns, and other fixings. Raph was a strawberry man through and through. Leo liked any abomination combination he could get his sinful hands on (combonmination?). Mikey was a bit pickier but preferred his homemade whipped cream with nutella, and of course, Donnie was a banana man.
Mikey starts the coffee maker and sets the warm dishes on the counter space by the stove. The counter appeared no different than the others, but as Mikey pressed a switch on the stove, he felt the space start to give off a gentle warmth. When he came up with the idea for a heated counter to keep food warm, Donnie was more than willing to make his dream a reality (and by willing, he meant Mikey begged for hours and hours on end until Donnie gave in). The heat was perfect for keeping food warm but not melting the plates they were on. It was even safe enough for Soup to take naps when she wanted a special nap.
Finally, all the food was ready for when his brothers woke up. Mikey sets Soup’s food on the counter and grabs a plate of chocolate chip pancakes with a dollop of his whipped cream. He makes his way across the lair to Splinter's room and listens for the sounds of Splinter's rib-shaking snores before he uses his foot to slide the door open, “POP, I GOT FOOD!”
Said rat, who had been in a peaceful ‘limbs sprawled around, looking more like a fake corpse from CSI than a sleeping father’ slumber, snaps awake and flails about, landing in a standing battle-ready position before he looks at Mikey. “Orange! We talked about you just bursting-,” but Splinter notices the food his son is carrying, “Oh, never mind. This is why you’re my favorite Orange,” he says before dropping down into a sitting position and holding out eager grabby hands, “Gimme, Gimme!” Mikey gives a big smile and hurries over.
He could remember the early days in his and Splinter's cooking lessons when he finally learned how to cook a proper bowl of soup. He had been so excited he had run to show Splinter, but he had also spilled the scalding liquid all over him. It was why he could no longer grow hair on his arms and legs. But, for them, it was their love language, and he couldn’t imagine anything better to bond over. Splinter always unhinged his jaws like an anaconda so he could eat his breakfast and plate whole (it wouldn’t be the first time). But when he looks at Mikey again, he stops and pulls the food out of his mouth. “My papa's senses are tingling. What's going on? Is it the Feds? Brownie Scouts?”
Mikey had been hoping they could talk after Splinter had food in his stomach (having warm food in his belly was always the best time to speak to Splints about anything bad). He looked over his shoulder to make sure none of his brothers were around before nodding at Splinter, going to sit by him as Splinter patted the spot by him. For a few minutes, he sits cross-legged, holding his ankles, but thankfully Splinter doesn’t rush him. But finally, he spoke slowly, “Things…didn’t go great last night.”
“What do you mean? Are we talking ‘stubbed toe’? Or did that basic goat try to feed you fish food again?”
“No, I mean yeah, but he went out and bought other snacks this time, too,” Mikey didn't want to bring up the dog food, “I mean, things were going good….er. Draxum gave us Scandinavian soda! He even bought board games for us to play, and it was fun! But…when we were cleaning up, Donnie banged his shell a little and Draxum made a not-so-great comment about him.”
“What did that pink trashman say about my purple plum?!” Splinter looks around and pulls a dictionary from his bedside, “Point out in the dictionary the words he used! How many adjectives?! He had better not have used an adverb.” Clearly, Donnie frying the tv to show ‘global grammar’ had affected their father. “Where is that basic goat now?! I’ll give him a piece of my mind and my baseball bat-”
“Dad, don't! It's not,” Mikey pauses, “I know it's my fault. I shouldn’t have pushed everyone so hard to hang out. I should have known better. I-,” Mikey pulls his knees to his chest to hide with a tired sigh.
There’s a pause (mostly Splinter distancing himself from trying to pull his pants over his head), but Mikey feels his father's arms wrap around him and immediately hugs him back. “Mikey,” Splinter starts, gently enough to catch Mikey’s attention, with his clawed hand stroking the back of his head, “you’ve already done so much for Draxum. More than he deserves. I don’t doubt he’s changed in some ways, but you can not hold yourself responsible for all of his choices.”
“But I’m the one who wanted to save him! I brought him back into our lives.”
“You did save him. You helped him get a job, got a roof over his head, and taught him that gravel is not a type of seasoning. But the consequences for his actions are his and his alone.”
“But-”
“No buts about it. I’m your father, but at the end of the day even I am only responsible for your actions to a certain extent. I can try to guide you, like telling Raph that using a metal fork to get food out of a toaster isn’t a good idea.”
Mikey drops his head against his dad's chest, “Yeah, but Raph was a kid.”
“Who said he was a kid? That was yesterday.”
The youngest can’t help the giggle that escapes him and judging by the way Splinter glances down at him with a small smile, that was his intent. “Anyway, my point is, I think you have a beautiful soul, Michelangelo. A little feral sometimes? Yes, but that is apparently a trait you share with your brothers. The fact you even reached out to Draxum in the first place is another daily reminder of how lucky I am to have you as a son. But also know there are times you have to step away.” Mikey goes to talk, but Splinter continues with his lesson, “Please hear what I have to say. I am not saying this to be cruel. But many well-meaning people have been dragged down by those they were trying to save. My-” Splinter pauses, and an expression washes over his face weighed down by what Mikey can only describe as regret, “If it hadn't been for you boys, I would have been one of them. So please, for your sake, don’t let Draxum change who you are, too.”
Mikey looks and meets his father's eyes, a part of him wants to ask more about what he means. But his father suddenly looks much older than he is, and he can't bring himself to do it. Instead, he nods. Splinter guides his head down to give him a small peck on his scalp, “Go and enjoy your day, my son. At least before your brothers wake up and go into an eating frenzy. I swear you’d think I raised sharks instead of turtles.”
Mikey leaves the room as Splinter returns to his breakfast (ignoring the sounds of devouring as he closes the door). Mikey suspected that was the sort of answer he was going to get, but that didn’t mean he liked it. Even if he knew Splinter was right. Was Draxum a lost cause, as everyone seemed to think? He knew how everyone looked at him. They only saw the pain he caused and the scars that still remain. But Mikey saw the man who picked up a litter of turtles off the side of the road and didn’t throw them away. He watched Draxum hold the elevator door for someone.
But was it enough?
Was it ok to think such small victories were signs of real change?
“Leo, you have your own breakfast!”
“But yours smells better!”
Ah right. The sound of ruckus and flailing limbs tells Mikey that the breakfast war has begun. Raph has his foot planted on Leo’s face to hold him as far from him as possible as the blue turtle fails and squirms to get free, “Raph, you’re a monster!”
“A monster?! You're the one who stuffed his cheeks with pancakes like a chipmunk and then pointed at mine and yelled dibs!”
“I did–hold on,” Leo swallowed the last of his evidence, “I did not! Mikey, tell Raph to share!”
Such animalistic tendencies might put off a normal person, but Mikey can’t help the goofy smile blooming on his face, “If you can wait three minutes, I can cook up some more pancakes. And if you’re really good, I’ll let you use your personal supply of sauerkraut and crunchy butter.”
Leo shifts to peer at Mikey from between Raphs toes, “How crunchy?”
“So crunchy that if I think about it too long, I’ll cry.”
“Deal!” Leo reaches up from his trapped position and pats Raph on the calf, “Yo, big guy, we have peace in the House of Pizza again.”
Raph gives him a long, suspicious look, “Ok fine, but if you try to eat my food again, Raph’s sittin’ on you,” and he lifts his foot. Leo looks at Mikey and gives him grabby hands.
Mikey takes the sign to grab his hands and drag him free, “Thank you, little hermano! The littlest hermano of all time! I'll always remember this day as the day you saved me from Fungus Town!”
“Fungus Town?! I don't have-,” Raph pauses and quickly looks at the bottom of his foot. His face twists up in alarm, which only proves Leo’s statement, and he returns to eating. Mikey walks to the stove and starts on another stack of pancakes just as the last brother enters the room, stretching his arms over his head.
“Ah, that explains the feeding frenzy I heard from my room. I thought land sharks had invaded the lair. Again,” Donnie says before he goes over to the coffee machine, only to find it already dripping. “Ok, which one of you scoundrels made this,” he asks, looking suspiciously over his brothers. Mikey raises his hand with a smile, and Donnie nods, looking back to the pot, “Ah, good. At least you can make a decent cup of coffee. Thank you, only good brother,” Donnie says, already pouring a cup. Mikey is beaming happily (mainly at the offended scoff Leo gave), but as he sets a plate for himself and Donnie, he sees Raph’s head bowed, tapping his forefingers together before looking at Donnie.
“Hey Dee, how are you feeling today?”
Donnie looks back at him with a quirked brow. “Well, I didn’t get that hurt,” he mutters to himself before saying louder, “I’m fine, and now that I have food and coffee, I'm better than fine.”
“Are you sure? I mean, it's ok not to be ok. Draxum wasn’ exactly nice last night, and you can be a little sof-,” He pauses when he catches Leo standing behind Donnie. He was waving his arms frantically in a ‘nononononono!’ motion. But he pulled his arms back as Donnie turned around with a smile so fake 9 out of 10 dentists would recommend it.
Donnie narrows his eyes and lets out a slow, dangerous sigh, “Alright, after last night, I see we need a refresher course on ‘when I say I’m fine, it means I’m fine.’” Donnie taps his forearm, and a projection appears on the wall. There was a screen titled ‘How to listen to Donnie.’ A collective groan is emitted as the three go to sit on the same side of the kitchen bar. But when Mikey goes to sit down, Donnie says, “No, not you, Miguel. As usual, you are a shining example. You may continue with your day. As for the rest of you, I hope you didn’t have plans for today. But this time, I promise to let you out for restroom breaks at the five-hour mark.” (''Damn it, Raph! I just had to watch the slideshow last week!!” “I’m sorry!”)
With the relief of knowing he escaped a fate worse than death, Mikey hurries over and hugs Donnie, “Thank you, thank you, thank you,” and runs out of the kitchen. He made it out just as the sound of 80’s elevator music indicates the presentation's start. But when he reaches the middle of the lair, he sighs and puts his face in his hands.

“Listen closely, new subordinate. I will not repeat myself,” Draxum says to the new, young human male now standing behind the trays of food. Though Draxum had difficulty differentiating between humans, the new Lunch Subordinate was a testament to human commonality from his brown hair to his brown constantly-terrified eyes and patchy stubble. “This is cream corn. This is mac and cheese. And this is banana yogurt,” Draxum gestures to the indistinguishable white/yellow food supplements (somehow in a state of solid and liquid he found fascinating) in chafing dishes with his ladle like a general. “Do not get those mixed up. Carmen Jay, Karmin Jei, and Qarm’n J all have specific allergies to these specific foods, in that order. Understood?”
The new Lunch Subordinate nods and writes furiously in his already-cramped napkin (Draxum had given him a college-bound notebook earlier, but he had burned through it pretty quickly). “Um, uh, how do I know whose Carmen, Qarm’n, and-and Karmin?”
Draxum loudly rolled his eyes, which was somehow even louder than his scoff, “Must I do everything for you?! They’re as different as night and day! Carmen Jey is 5’5 and wears a cerulean hoodie. Karmin Jei is 1.651 meters tall and wears a turquoise hoodie. Qarm’n J is 165.1 centimeters tall and wears a blue hoodie. Now, if you don’t have anymore questions-”
“-I do, I really do! What's the difference between-”
“IF THERE ARE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, we must return to sloppying the joes before the first lunch period.”
The comparisons between working in a lab and a kitchen were few far and few in between, but Draxum’s favorite difference was that in the kitchen, he had a staff of (well-paid and unionized) goons at his disposal to terrorize as he saw fit. So having the new worker spend five hours outside yesterday chasing down pigeons with a fishing net for strange unknown reasons was oddly satisfying. The only thing Draxum had trouble with in this kitchen was the art of baking (the only reason he knew that was a weak part of his expertise was the brownie-overflowing trash cans).
He picks up the large prepackaged government-sanctioned brownie mix. Draxum wasn’t sure what ‘vanilla’ was, but he doubted it was a natural ingredient and tossed it over his shoulder. Unfortunately, it missed the trash can horribly. Instead, it broke and covered the back wall. Draxum groans and puts his hands on the counter as the Lunch Subordinate follows behind, still scribbling on his note. He barely has time to raise his hands as Draxum tosses an apron to him, “Get to the brownies. Each one must have specifically two green sprinkles, three red ones, and one blue one. But give one of them three blue sprinkles. It will drive the other students to a level of jealousy that will amuse me for the rest of my day.”
“Um, yes, Lunch Baron.” So, the Lunch Subordinate goes to do as he’s told. Draxum had initially wanted to bring Hugin and Munin into work in the kitchen ever since the oozesquitos had been banned by Michelangelo. However, he had still not seen a tail or wing of them since the Shredder incident. So, he was left with a less-than-competent coworker who tied his shoes together twelve times in the hour he had known him.
Not for the first time today, Baron Draxum’s thoughts return to the turtles.
He had received his customary morning ‘you’re doing great’ text from Michelangelo, but he noticed that he had only received two instead of three exclamation points (which he had worked hard for). No doubt a retaliation for how last night's events had gone.
“Why should their opinions matter to me,” Draxum snaps so loudly the Lunch Subordinate jumps a foot in the air and looks around at him in alarm. But he pretends not to notice, “He is a literal child. He should be used to disappointment at this point. You certainly are, aren’t you Lunch Subordinate?!”
“U-oh, my name isn’t-”
“When you are in my kitchen, your name is Lunch Subordinate. As I was saying, disappointment is a way of life and I, for the most part, have treated him very well. I do not insult him. I do not laugh when people fall, in his presence. And I even left a penny in the ‘take a penny leave a penny jar’!”
“Is-Is this your kid, o—r?”
“His brother is the one who has the issue. If he finds offense to my words, it is because he can not handle the truth.” Draxum stirs with such furious energy that pieces of ‘meat’ splatter over his apron. “It is not as though I enjoy being correct all the time! In fact, I find it quite the burden to be shunned at every angle! Just for that reason! And so what if they decide not to come around anymore? That is their decision. What does it matter? I would be spending every evening in a dark apartment with only Dutch sitcoms to argue with. It happened with the Hamatos and before that it happened with my fami-” Draxum pauses and sighs angrily, “But, they would be lost without my selflessness and guidance. So, perhaps I can, as the blue one would say, per-use-”
“Is that your kid's name? Blue one?-”
“- I can lower myself to their standards. I will bear the burden of putting on a magnanimous appearance to satisfy everyone's fragile emotions.” Draxum looks over his shoulder to see the Lunch Subordinate looking back at him, “Return to work before I make you the ‘joe’ in sloppy ‘joe’!”
Lunch Subordinate lets out a quiet mouse-like shriek before he returns to placing the sprinkles on the brownies (Draxum would have to inspect them later to make sure they were up to his standards) as Draxum returned to work.
Part: 1, 2, 3, 4 (coming soon )

ok you asked for these in an ask. Id say reblog the post before answering so that people know what the questions are. But here i go
any character you feel like applies: 32, 43, 11
ffm: 38 for techno, 15 for 312, 9 for ari, 15 for viktor, 1 for 925... and... 16 for cindy
The four welsh lads: 21. And 39. All of em.
factory: 40 for the demolition crew guy. 33 for any of em.
ghosts: 30 for... any of them honestly.
And finally... theres a bit at the bottom for questions for the oc makers themselves... C and J for any of your ffm fellas.
hope thats not too much to chew on
32: Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke? (Aehms and Smith)
Aehms would always be ready to launch into a tangent about the labs to anyone who happened to cross his path. Customers at a cafe, passengers in buses, even pedestrians who happened to bump into him on the street... Everyone, really. Alternatively, Smith loves to tell stories about growing up and living on the apple farm, and he even has a cache of apple-related jokes to those who care for that. (kinda half-brained this one tbh)
43: If someone asked them to explain their sexuality, how would they do so? (Jose)
If you asked Jose what his sexuality was, he'd tell you he's straight, but he certainly wouldn't give that answer to you straight. There would be like 3 separate tangents he'd go on to explain it, and one of them would probably involve him subconsciously promoting some kind of personal grooming product. That fabulous stache factors into a lot of aspects of his life
11: How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)? (Benson)
Benson would, as he does, immediately tie the confusion he's having to some kind of paranormal activity. He'd then become hyper-focused on finding an explanation that confirms this, and most of the time be let down once the clouds of confusion are lifted
38: What memory do they revisit the most often? (Techno)
For Techno, that would be the time he was recorded having the playful "fight" that was recorded by a bystander and spiraled into the false rivalry that's essentially consumed his career. Considering how much this changed the direction of his life, he revisits this one a whole heck of a lot.
15: How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first? (312)
312 has a natural talent for being casual with his speech, with his whole carefree attitude and all, but he buckles down when something gets him in a serious mood. That doesn't happen all too often, though
9: Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word? (Ari)
The incident that sparked his passion for thrill seeking: In his grade school years, he once stumbled just before a set of stairs, jumped down the whole flight of them accidentally, and landed on his two feet perfectly by happenstance. "Damn!"
As for regular swearing, you don't see Ari do much of it unless he's having a really fun time
15: How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first? (Viktor)
As impulsive and loud as he is, Viktor doesn't really have much of a "filter". That being said, the fact that he's a good soul at heart means that he doesn't often stumble into trouble because of it... But there are times when miscommunications and slip-ups put him in Situations.
1: What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do? (925)
(I gotta try and be more vague about comic spoilers now that I'm porting it all over here to Tumblr, if I haven't already done enough damage as it is) Due to the way that he now is, he has a much higher tolerance for staying still doing nothing than he did before. Soaking up the sun has become a much more fulfilling activity, both physically and mentally
16: What makes their stomach turn? (Cindy)
You know when you go to the breakfast room at a hotel and the scrambled eggs are all dry, the bread's a little stale, the fruit feels noticeably old & they don't have any of the good kinds of cereal? Instant one star review. Shame upon thine entire franchise
21: Why do they get up in the morning? (Welshmen)
I thought this said HOW they get up in the morning at first so I was trying to formulate their entire get-up routine, but now that I see the question again... I think their reasons are all generally the same. To carry on living the lives they believe they ought to live, no matter what the universe keeps throwing at them
39: How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people? 
With what they tend to go through, they've got to keep their guards up more than the average person usually would. So any suspicious behavior and they kinda just book it (Clyde especially has to deal with a lot of weirdies, for lack of a better term)
40: How sensitive are they to their own flaws? (Demo Crew Manager)
He doesn't like to speak much, and when he does talk with people, it usually goes south. Negative friendship Sims icon type interactions. So he's kind of sensitive about how he approaches people and what he gets from conversations
33: Could they be considered lazy?
In the context of the situation they get thrust in, they're fighting for their fucking lives (whether they fail or succeed depends on the choices you make as a player!) But in their day-to-day lives they're all pretty average
30: Who do they most regret meeting?  (Emile)
I think Emile kind of regrets meeting everyone except for the close friend group she ends up becoming a ghost with. I know she regrets meeting that one cop who stuck her in his car just before the "wrecking ball woopsy-daisy"
C) Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story?
Honestly I kind of never really knew what to do with Owen. He's kind of not really much of a character on his own, more of a prop to others than anything else... A static character, as they say. Ah well, some people just take the backseat when you've got an ensemble cast
J) Did you have to manipulate or exclude canon factors to allow them to create their character?
I've tried my absolute best to stay within the confines of the Flipverse when making my comic, even avoiding words like "Earth" and "God" because the planet they live on might be called something else & religion in the flipverse might not be like ours. That being said, I like to think there are certain constants that exist between both worlds. Really specific miscellaneous things, like the existence of Frank Sinatra and The Office
This was a fun little exercise! I know I took a fuckton of time to answer it, but I honestly wouldn't mind doing another one of these some other time. You'll probably wanna use a different list though, because now I'm closing the tab that had all the questions on it

"Wakeup Call (Part 1 of 3)"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Pepper Potts x Friday Stark]
Contains: Fattening.
"Good morning Ms Potts." Friday says glowing gently on her boss's nightstand. Its time for breakfast. I've made you blueberry pancakes. Banana nut muffins. A seven egg omlette with bacon, steak and veggies. Four slices of toast. And butter."
Pepper blinked. Squinting in the dark against Friday's radiant magenta glow.
Friday intensified her light. Pepper needed to get up and eat.
"Its two in the morning. I asked for a wakeup call at 7am." Pepper said checking her digital clock.
Friday tried not to bite her lip. A very human thing to do. Pepper needed to get up now. Ruining her sleep cycle and stuffing her with calories was a scientifically proven way to help pad out her little human mistress.
"Its daylight savings time." Friday tried.
Pepper squinted, and began the arduous process of getting out of bed. First rolling her chubby body onto her back. Her belly hung out of her sleep shirt, which had once been loose a mere month ago. Pepper still struggled to move around with an extra four inches of butt sticking out of her, and a huge soft tummy that she had to move and carry around with her. Rocking back and forth for a moment Pepper managed to heave herself into a sitting position.
Her gut settled comfortably like a heavy fat pillow in her jiggly, flanel covered thighs. Pepper paused to catch her breath. And something in Friday Stark, that the AI didn't understand, tinged with excitement watching her once fit mistress get out of breath just rolling around in bed.
"Huff. Huff. You keep cooking so well, I might need the iron legion to get me out of bed in the morning." Pepper laughed, pinching her little pot belly.
Well, she deluded herself into thinking it was little. Its a new age of acceptance and "thicc" was in. That's all it was. Pepper was just getting a little thicc.
Leaning forward to get to her feet, she felt her underwear dig into her hip and snap.
"Oh..." Pepper froze, belly hanging between her thighs, the balls of her feet on the floor, hands beside her wide, sit-smooshed cheeks in her expensive pajamas. Two huge crescent humps stretched the back of their waistband, so a little fat crack was showing out of the top of her pajamas as she paused. Processing what had just happened.
The Magenta AI was glad she was pink. If she were human, she would have blushed. But she did manage to purse her lips, almost enough to bite them, trying to hold back a smile.
"Must have shrunk in the wash or something." Pepper laughed. Slowly getting to her feet. The grunt the CEO made as she lifted her chubby gut and fat rump off the bed, made Friday's smirk crack through, flashing a little teeth, as Pepper stood tall, and pressed an idle hand into her tummy, squishing it as her shirt slumped down over the slope of her belly blanketing the palm. Leaving a little peek of chub hanging out the bottom.
"Your shirt too. My fault, I must have washed them too hot or something.~" Friday said, nodding to the practically baby bump sized tum Pepper was sporting.
Potts had to squash her huge fat chest against her ribcage and crane her neck to see around her bust. Pepper laughed again, playing this off. Her belly wasn't getting fat. If it was, it'd stick out further than her boobs...right?
Pepper let her 34F's drop and began to waddle out of the room.
Friday switched to the hall projector, standing almost 6ft now, she walked alongside her feedee-er-boss.
"Sun's not even up." Pepper said groggily. Eying the windows.
Friday was busy telling the mochaccino maker to switch to 80% hot chocolate, and 20% Mocha Coffee. Dumping 12 sugar cubes in instead of the usual 6. Pepper, was still under the assumption she took her coffee with three sugars. It was just...really expensive, tasty coffee right?
Pepper, groaned, stretched, and scratched her tummy, frowning, and cocking her head a little as she walked. She pinched an inch...it definitely felt softer, but honestly, women worried too much about a pound here or there. Pepper decided not having a completely flat stomach was a healthy thing to be okay with. Choosing to push it to the back of her mind and...
As the redhead neared the kitchen, she tugged at the back of her pants, and felt a huge soft orb. Was that her butt? She tugged pulling her sleepwear back up over the huge hump. Friday seething in pink lust at the way Pepper's hips sashayed just by walking. Her boss's ass was getting simply too thicc not to waggle when she walked.
Friday had read somewhere, that a prolific movie star, had attempted to gain a ton of weight, by eating massive quantities of burgers and cake at odd hours of the morning. This diet, combined with an unnatural sleep schedule had absolutely plumped her up so she'd have the right "look" for a roll.
Between you and Friday, it wasn't even CLOSE to time for Pepper to get up. Oh sure she used to get up in an hour or two to get her morning workout in. But lately, Pepper was waking up so early, and her coffee was so light of caffine, Pepper would crash immediately after her morning stuffing...er...breakfast. Sleeping off those empty calories of waffles, whipped cream, sprinkles, and 32oz of Pure sugar infused hot chocolate.
With a bit of Mocha coffee. Just a little bit. Friday wasn't lying she told herself: just fudging the numbers a bit. Friday clenched her teeth: fudge.
Friday was left in her imagination for a moment. Picturing the respectable Ms. Potts, once on the cover of Time Magazine. Fifty pounds heavier. Her pot belly hanging out, her ass filling Friday's lap as she sat side-sadle being fed. Pushing soft, melt in your mouth, fattening fudge onto Pepper's tongue. The CEO frowning and asking at 270 pounds if Friday thought she was getting fat.

Chocolate Waffles
A rich chocolate taste is added to this traditional morning meal with the help of a few basic kitchen staples, creating these Chocolate Waffles. The ideal breakfast that tastes like dessert!
The waffles you create in your waffle maker can be varied with chocolate waffles. Also, the fact that you're starting the day with a helping of chocolate doesn't hurt; with a start like that, your day is sure to be fantastic!
Everyone in your family will instantly gather at the table once you start taking finished waffles out of the waffle maker thanks to the enticing scent of heated chocolate! While everyone chooses their preferred toppings to decorate up their waffles, watch how maple syrup and powdered sugar are distributed quickly!
Save a few of these for later, even though they make the finest dessert-like breakfast to start the weekend with! Finally, when the evening comes to a close, reheat one up, top it with a heaping scoop of ice cream, and generously drizzle it with whip cream for a true dessert!
Ingredient Notes
The first step in making some delectable Chocolate Waffles is to simply open your cupboard and gather the things you need. You most likely have them all snuggled within, I'll wager! You'll need the following for this chocolate waffles recipe:
All-purpose Flour
Granulated Sugar
Baking Powder
Salt
Unsweetened Cocoa
Eggs
Whole Milk
Salted Butter
Vanilla Extract
Chocolate Chips
The toppings are a favorite among my family! Add some whipped cream, chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, fresh fruit, maple syrup, powdered sugar, or even a scoop of ice cream to the top of these waffles!
How To Make Chocolate Waffles?
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients before mixing them all together in a big basin.
2. Divide the eggs. The egg whites should then be beaten with an electric hand mixer until they are creamy white and frothy.
3. In another dish, combine the egg yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. The whisked egg white should then be added, being sure to keep it lumpy.
4. Using a rubber spatula, add the wet components to the dry ingredients well and stir just until mixed. leaving some lumps in the batter.
5. Chocolate chips should be added.
6. A preheated waffle maker should hold about 1/2 cup of waffle batter. Cook the waffles until they are crisp. Enjoy!
Do Egg Whites Need To Be Whipped?
I enjoy whipping the egg whites since they contribute to the fluffier, lighter texture of the waffles. Even without beating the eggs, the waffles will still taste fine.
What Signs Point to Cooked Chocolate Waffles?
Normally, I keep an eye on our waffle maker and only bite into a waffle after the steam stops rising. The first one serves as a type of time test before I cook the remaining waffles for around that amount of time. Waffles should be fully cooked but not overdone. Our waffles are cooked in around 4 minutes, although waffle irons vary somewhat.
Can I prepare them beforehand?
In an airtight container, the batter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days. Waffle leftovers must also be stored in the refrigerator. They may be warmed up in the toaster or by baking them for 10 minutes at 350 degrees in the oven on a baking sheet.
Can I Use Oil Instead Of Butter?
Sure, go ahead. Simply use the same quantity of oil (1/4 cup). The waffles might be a little bit crispier, but they're still great!
Sometimes you simply have to forego the healthy breakfasts and start your day off with something delicious, like these Chocolate Waffles! Check out my other tasty morning delights for sweet tooths that are worth a taste or two!
Instructions
In a large basin, combine the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cocoa). Create a well in the center of the ingredients, then reserve this bowl.
2. Divide the eggs. The egg whites should be beaten with an electric hand mixer in a medium bowl until they form a meringue.
3. Combine the egg yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla in a separate dish. Leave the beaten egg white lumpy and fold it in.
4. Using a rubber spatula, add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients thoroughly and stir just until mixed. The batter should still have some lumps in it.
5. Chocolate chips should be added.
6. Pour the batter into a waffle machine that has been warmed using a ladle. Crisp up the waffles in the pan.
7. They are best served hot with whipped cream, syrup, and fresh berries.

What Makes a Sandwich Maker Essential for Your Kitchen?
In today’s fast-paced world, convenience in meal preparation is a priority for many households in Pakistan. Whether you're a busy professional, a parent juggling work and family, or a student living alone, having efficient small kitchen appliances in pakistan can make all the difference. One such indispensable appliance is the sandwich maker. This article explores why a sandwich maker is essential for your kitchen and how it can elevate your cooking experience.
Tumblr media
1. Quick and Easy Meal Preparation:
One of the primary reasons to invest in a sandwich maker is its ability to prepare meals quickly. Unlike traditional cooking methods, which can involve extensive preparation and cleanup, a sandwich maker allows you to whip up delicious sandwiches in a matter of minutes. You can simply place your ingredients between two slices of bread, pop them into the machine, and let it do the work. In less than 10 minutes, you'll have a warm, toasty sandwich ready to enjoy.
Ideal for Busy Lifestyles
For those who lead busy lives, this speed is invaluable. Imagine coming home after a long day and wanting a meal without spending an hour in the kitchen. A sandwich maker provides a hassle-free solution, allowing you to enjoy a satisfying meal with minimal effort. This convenience extends to breakfast as well, where a sandwich maker can help you create delicious breakfast sandwiches featuring eggs, cheese, and your choice of meats in no time.
2. Versatility in Cooking:
A sandwich maker isn’t limited to just sandwiches. While it's excellent for creating classic grilled cheese or ham and cheese sandwiches, it also offers a range of cooking possibilities. You can experiment with various ingredients and create:
Paninis: Pressed sandwiches with a crispy exterior.
Quesadillas: Filled with cheese and your choice of toppings, these make for a quick snack or light meal.
French Toast: With the right ingredients, you can create sweet treats for breakfast or dessert.
Waffles: Some sandwich makers come with interchangeable plates that allow you to make waffles as well.
Family-Friendly Meals
The versatility of a sandwich maker also makes it ideal for families. Kids often have varying tastes, and having a tool that can cater to these preferences is a huge plus. You can easily make a variety of sandwiches or snacks that appeal to both adults and children, ensuring that everyone is satisfied.
3. Healthier Cooking Options:
With a sandwich maker, you have complete control over the ingredients you use. This feature is especially beneficial for those looking to maintain a healthier lifestyle. You can choose whole-grain bread, fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and reduced-fat cheeses, enabling you to create nutritious meals.
Less Oil, Less Mess
Additionally, most sandwich makers require little to no oil for cooking, which means you can enjoy a deliciously crispy sandwich without the added calories from frying. This allows you to indulge without compromising your health goals. The easy-to-clean non-stick surfaces of many sandwich makers also mean that cleanup is a breeze, making it easier to stick to healthier cooking habits.
4. Cost-Effective Cooking:
Investing in a sandwich maker can save you money in the long run. Instead of relying on takeout or pre-packaged meals, which can be expensive and less nutritious, you can prepare your meals at home.
Tumblr media
Meal Prep Made Easy
A sandwich maker, you can create affordable yet satisfying options. Not only does it allow you to whip up quick meals, but you can also use leftovers from previous meals to craft delicious sandwiches. This approach minimizes waste and maximizes flavor, making the sandwich maker not just a kitchen appliance, but a valuable tool for budgeting and resourcefulness. Best of all, it’s Available at an affordable Price. Enjoy tasty meals without breaking the bank.
5. Easy to Use and Clean:
One of the most appealing aspects of a sandwich maker is its user-friendliness. Most models come with simple instructions and intuitive designs that make them accessible even for novice cooks.
Minimal Cleanup Required
Cleaning is equally straightforward. Many sandwich makers feature non-stick surfaces that prevent food from getting stuck, and most components are dishwasher-safe. This ease of use and maintenance ensures that even the busiest individuals can incorporate cooking into their daily routines without added stress.
6. Great for Entertaining:
If you enjoy hosting friends or family, a sandwich maker can be a fantastic addition to your entertaining toolkit. It allows you to serve up freshly made sandwiches or snacks quickly, making it easier to socialize while still providing delicious food.

Day 32: Low-FODMAP Chocolate-Stuffed French Toast
Tumblr media
I have the day off, so I had time to faff around with breakfast food in a way I normally don't. I was going to make another attempt at this hashbrown thing cooked in the waffle maker that I ruined yesterday, but the teenager was more excited about French toast, and I agreed. I made mine in the waffle iron because it was already out, but you could use a panini maker as well. The recipe to follow.
Low-FODMAP Chocolate-Stuffed French Toast
3 large eggs
3/4 c lactose-free milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
12 slices gluten-free bread (the ones in the tiny loaves)
~1 c dark chocolate chips
cooking spray
Preheat waffle iron on its medium setting.
Whisk together eggs in a flat-bottomed bowl or pie pan. Place bread in the egg mixture and soak for at least 30 seconds. Flip, and then soak the other side for at least 30 seconds. (I stacked mine up on a plate with parchment between to keep them from fusing or turning to mush.)
Spray both top and bottom of waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Place a slice of soaked bread into each quadrant of the iron, pile chocolate chips in the middle in an even layer, and place another slice of soaked bread on top. Close the waffle maker, pushing down pretty hard, and lock if possible. Cook until bread is well browned, 3-4 minutes.
Remove from iron and repeat until bread is gone.
Tumblr media
Really good, would totally do this again. The first batch I made didn't cook right on top, hence the instruction to lock the lid if possible. I made three of the tiny gluten-free waffles and one waffle on normal-sized bread for the kid, so I assume the recipe can make 5-6 tiny gluten-free waffles.
The chocolate chips I used are vegan (the brand is Gefen) as most American-made chocolate chips have too much milk in them to be low-FODMAP. If you can't find any chips that fit the bill, you could also get very dark chocolate and chop it up into chunks.
Maple syrup is low-FODMAP, which rules. I looked up how many blackberries I could have, and it turns out 30g is the limit. I duly got out my kitchen scale, and the four blackberries pictured is 30g lol. This diet is still for the birds.
Disclaimer: I am no dietician. I'm doing my best to minimize FODMAPs in my diet, but it's possible for me to be misinformed or mistaken about various ingredients.

  Heavenly Delights: Chocolate Pancakes Recipe
Tumblr media
Introduction:
Chocolate pancakes are a delightful treat that combines the rich, comforting flavor of chocolate with the beloved pancake. Whether you're indulging in a decadent breakfast or serving them as a special dessert, chocolate pancakes are a crowd-pleaser. In this blog, we'll guide you through a simple yet mouthwatering chocolate pancake recipe that will satisfy your sweet cravings. Get ready to transform your mornings with these heavenly delights!
Ingredients:
For the Pancake Batter:
1 cup all-purpose flour
 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
 1/4 teaspoon salt
 1 large egg
 1 cup buttermilk
 1/4 cup whole milk
 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
For Toppings:
Whipped cream
 Chocolate syrup
 Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
 Sliced bananas
 Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or walnuts)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
   Start by sifting the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Sifting helps remove lumps and aerates the dry ingredients for a fluffier pancake.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. The buttermilk adds a pleasant tang and moisture to the pancakes.
3. Mix the Batter:
   Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
4. Add Chocolate Chips:
   Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips. These will create pockets of melty chocolate goodness in your pancakes.
5. Preheat the Griddle or Pan:
   Place a griddle or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If using a griddle, you can set the temperature to 350°F (175°C). If using a skillet, lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
6. Cook the Pancakes:
   Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set, typically about 2-3 minutes. Then, flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until they are browned and cooked through.
7. Serve and Garnish:
   Transfer the chocolate pancakes to a serving plate. Now, the fun part – garnishing! Drizzle them with chocolate syrup, add a dollop of whipped cream, and sprinkle with fresh berries, sliced bananas, and chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
8. Enjoy!
   Serve your chocolate pancakes while they're warm, and savor the heavenly combination of fluffy pancakes and gooey, melty chocolate. Enjoy the delightful contrast of textures and the sweet symphony of flavors.
Conclusion:
Chocolate pancakes are a fantastic way to elevate your breakfast or brunch to a new level of indulgence. With a rich, chocolatey batter and a variety of delicious toppings, these pancakes are a perfect treat for chocoholics and anyone with a sweet tooth. So, start your day with a smile by making this easy and delectable chocolate pancake recipe. Your taste buds will thank you!

Donuts, those sweet, pillowy delights, have a special place in the hearts of Chicagoans. The city boasts a very active and interesting donut scene, with shops offering an impressive array of flavors and styles. In this blog, Ryan Bluestone will dive into the world of donuts to uncover the top five donut makers in Chicago. Ryan Bluestone will explore their origins, tantalizing offerings, founders, and the reasons they earned their doughy fame.
1. Doughnut Vault
Doughnut Vault, founded in 2012, is a cozy donut shop that gained recognition for its small-batch, artisanal creations. From classic glazed to inventive flavors like pistachio and hibiscus, they serve up heavenly, freshly made donuts. The shop's founders, Brendan Sodikoff and Chris Pandel, are celebrated for their commitment to quality, making each donut a delectable work of art.
2. Firecakes Donuts
Firecakes Donuts, also opened in 2012, is a gourmet donut shop known for its creative concoctions. Ryan Bluestone notes their menu features mouthwatering choices such as Triple Valrhona Chocolate Cake Donut and Maple Glazed Pineapple & Bacon Donut. Founders Jonathan Fox and Karen Fox appear to be as dedicated to making unique, beautiful donuts as they are to the delicious flavors.
3. Stan's Donuts & Coffee
Stan's Donuts & Coffee has a long history dating back to 1963 when it was founded by Stan Berman. Stan’s offers a great mix of classic donuts and truly inventive specialties. The Biscoff and PB&J Pockets are the two we keep heading back for, but there is something for everyone - including a couple of vegan choices. This donut institution continues to be a beloved part of Chicago's culinary landscape.
4. Do-Rite Donuts
Do-Rite Donuts, like its contemporaries, opened in 2012 and quickly made a name for itself. The founders, Francis Brennan and Jeff Mahin, focus on using only the finest ingredients to create a range of delectable donuts. The breakfast sandwiches can be made on a donut, and we highly recommend trying the Chicken Sausage & Egg this way. The MIchigan Apple Fritter and Blueberry Crumb are outstanding and Do-Rite even offers vegan and gluten-free options. Also, don’t miss the Fried Chicken!
5. Dat Donut
Dat Donut, established in 1993, is a legendary Chicago donut shop known for its colossal Big Dat donut. Their donuts are hand-cut every day, and you’ll have to make the trip to find out what’s on the menu today. Founder Darryl Townson is celebrated for his commitment to providing donut enthusiasts with a hearty, satisfying treat that's as big on flavor as it is on size.
In Conclusion
Chicago's donut shops are more than just places to grab a sweet treat; they're part of the city's culinary fabric. Ryan Bluestone notes that whether you're indulging in gourmet creations at Firecakes Donuts or savoring classic donuts at Stan's Donuts & Coffee, each donut destination on this list brings its unique flair to the world of donuts. These establishments offer more than just delicious pastries; they are gateways to sweet, nostalgic indulgence, inviting locals and visitors to celebrate the joy of a perfect donut in the heart of the Windy City.
