Nothing better for the Hair Bears than tradition

And more specifically, culinary tradition. As in the Hamline Church Dining Hsll, as in their ham loaf dinner even ... which our own little party decided to sample for ourselves. Especially Huckleberry Hound, my travelling compadre, and the Southern ursine romantics of Emmy Lou and Jenny Lee. And who couldn't resist as much the ham loaf (with rather treacly sweet sauce topping same) as mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, ciabatta roll, bread pudding for dessert ... and iced tea as well?

Asked by yours truly what attracted the Hair Bear Bunch every fair to the ham loaf dinner, all Hair Bear could admit to was that "it was just out of curiosity a few years back ... and how else could it be resisted when all was said and done?"

As for Emmy Lou and Jenny Lee ... "I do have to admit that this is rather interesting, especially for a little ol' Southern gal like myself," Emmy Lou remarked. "Though it'd be interesting if they had those baking powder biscuits."

"You mean," Huckleberry asked, "like those used in the ham biscuits down south?"

"That's an interesting way of puttin' it there, Huckleberry!"

"Quite pleased to hear as much from you, Emmy Lou."

"And has anybody ever mentioned where my cousin Emmy Lou makes perhaps the best ham biscuits around?" chimed in Jenny Lee, with Emmy Lou acknowledging as much, adding that she prefers biscuit-cut ham. Call it a weakness, even after probably thr third or fourth substantial glass of iced tea ...

=============

As for the recipe for said ham loaf, should anybody be asking for it--

Preheat oven to 325° F/165° C/Gas Mark 3. Combine loaf and sauce ingredients separately:

FOR THE LOAF:

1½ lbs. each ground ham (NOT ground pork) and ground beef, chicken or turkey 3 cups dry breadcrumbs 1 medium onion, chopped ½ tsp. each salt, pepper, curry powder, ground sage and allspice 2 cups milk 3 eggs, slightly beaten, OR ¾ cup liquid egg

FOR THE SAUCE:

2 cups packed brown sugar ⅔ cup vinegar ¼ cup prepared mustard

Pack the loaf mixture into a large loaf pan; spoon half the sauce over the loaf. Bake for 90 minutes; drain grease from pan, spoon remaining sauce mixture over the loaf and bake 30-45 minutes more.

(Worth trying when fixing the sauce: Apple cider vinegar and, for the mustard, Dijon or Dusseldorf stylee. Stone ground, even....)

Getting Started

Clear the decks. Take everything out of your pantry, give it a hard look and decide what you can get rid of. Be ruthless. If you haven’t used it in a year, get rid of it.

Keep what looks and smells good. “Expiration,” “sell by,” and “best by” dates are not good guidelines. Some are determined by regulators, others by manufacturers, and almost all are arbitrary. Properly stored, some (unopened) ingredients, like canned fish, can last for years; others, like dried herbs, start declining in quality the moment they are sealed in a container.

Assess what remains. Then organize it according to the logic that makes sense to you: There’s no single best system. Your nut butters might be with the condiments, or the breakfast items, or the baking supplies.

Fill in the blanks with food that will make you a better cook. Each of the pantry lists below is a proposal, not a prescription. There’s no reason to stock black beans if you only like red. There’s no need to have everything here available at all times. You’ll know your pantry is well stocked for your purposes when most of the time, you need only add one or two fresh ingredients to cook one of our recipes from scratch. Or even better, none.

The Essential Pantry

The foundation layer for all three pantries, this is where everyone should start. There’s so much to be done with these basics. The rule here is stock your pantry mostly with what you’re confident using, and what you love to eat. You’ll turn to it again and again.

Oils and vinegars: Extra-virgin olive oil, neutral cooking oil (such as canola or grapeseed), red-wine vinegar, white vinegar or white-wine vinegar.

Cans and jars: Tuna in olive oil, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken stock or vegetable stock (box-packed tastes better than canned). A good-tasting, simple tomato sauce can become a soup or a stew, or make a quick dinner with pasta or polenta.

Spices and dried herbs: Kosher salt, red-pepper flakes, ground cayenne, curry powder, bay leaves, black peppercorns, sweet paprika, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, garlic powder or granulated garlic, dried thyme and dried oregano. This selection will take you through everything from a basic beef stew to Saturday morning pancakes to Thanksgiving dinner.

Grains and starches: Long-grain white rice, one or two other grains (such as quinoa or farro), dry pasta (one long, one short and chunky), plain bread crumbs, crackers, canned beans (white beans, black beans and-or chickpeas), dry lentils.

Nuts and nut butters: Walnuts, almonds, roasted peanuts, peanut butter (smooth and crunchy).

Sweeteners: Honey, maple syrup, granulated sugar.

Preserves and pickles: Fruit jams and preserves, anchovies.

Condiments and sauces: Basic vinaigrette, mustard (yellow or Dijon), mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, salsa, soy sauce.

Produce: Garlic, onions, all-purpose potatoes (such as Yukon Gold), lemons, shelf-stable tofu (Essential for vegetarians, Expanded for others).

Dairy: Eggs, unsalted butter, cheeses (Cheddar, Jack or Colby, Parmesan), milk or cream for cooking (not skim).

Freezer: Chicken parts, sausages, thick fish fillets, shrimp, thick-sliced bread (for toast), spinach (and other vegetables such as corn and peas), berries (and other fruit such as peaches and mango). Some fruits and vegetables take particularly well to freezing — and in most growing seasons, the quality is better than fresh. Frozen fruit is useful for baking and smoothies.

Baking: All-purpose flour, cornmeal, rolled oats, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, pure vanilla extract, light brown sugar, dark brown sugar, confectioners’ sugar, bittersweet baking chocolate, semisweet chocolate chips, raisins or another dried fruit, cocoa powder. With these ingredients on hand, thousands of cookies, brownies, cakes, muffins, quick breads and other sweets can be produced without a trip to the store.

The Expanded Pantry

For the cook who has a grasp of the basics, but wants to be able to stretch toward new options and flavors. Here, long-lasting, punchy ingredients like tahini, hoisin sauce, coconut milk, sherry vinegar and capers are stocked alongside classics: limes with lemons, jasmine rice as well as long-grain, almond butter in addition to peanut butter.

Oils and vinegars: Peanut oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, sherry or balsamic vinegar, apple-cider vinegar.

Cans and jars: Sardines, unsweetened coconut milk, whole Italian plum tomatoes, beef stock (box-packed tastes better than canned). Whole plum tomatoes are rarely called for in recipes, but they tend to be the ripest and best-quality fruit. They can be diced or crushed to use in a recipe — or drained and slow-roasted for an intense topping on omelets, salads, grain bowls or pizza.

Spices: Flaky salt, single-chile powders (such as ancho and pasilla), ground coriander, turmeric, smoked paprika, cardamom, za’atar, allspice, fennel seeds, dry mustard, garam masala (a basic Indian mix of warm spices), five-spice powder (a basic Chinese mix of spices), whole nutmegs.

Grains and starches: Rice noodles, basmati or jasmine rice, brown rice, panko bread crumbs, dry beans.

Nuts and nut butters: Almond butter, tahini, pecans.

Preserves and pickles: Olives (oil-cured and-or in brine), capers in brine. These ingredients, served with good bread and butter, make an elegant appetizer with wine, or everyday snack.

Condiments and sauces: Worcestershire sauce, hoisin, Thai red curry paste, fish sauce, anchovy paste, harissa.

Produce: Russet potatoes, carrots, celery, limes, ginger, avocados, parsley, cilantro, scallions, jalapeños. Keeping chiles, aromatics and herbs on hand gives you instant access to intensely fresh flavors, even for — maybe especially for — the simplest dishes you cook.

Dairy: Plain full-fat yogurt, more intense cheeses (pecorino, feta), salted butter.

Freezer: Pancetta, artichoke hearts, homemade stock, homemade bread crumbs, fresh pasta, vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, cut and peeled winter squash, chopped onions), cooked grains. Prepared ingredients like chopped onions and cooked grains speed your route to dinner.

Baking: Cake flour, whole-wheat flour, dark baking chocolate, vanilla beans, almond extract, powdered gelatin, molasses, light corn syrup, buttermilk powder, active dry yeast.

The Expert Pantry

For the cook who likes taking global flavors, new methods and viral recipes for a spin. Here, the chiles get hotter, the chocolates darker and the cheeses funkier. These ingredients are just a fraction of what’s out there, but by stocking them, you will be able to cook almost any recipe you come across and experiment with creating your own.

Spices: Hot smoked paprika (pimentón), sumac, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, flaky dried chiles (such as Aleppo, Urfa or Maras), dried whole chiles (like ancho and arból), marjoram, dukkah, baharat, shichimi. Whether you stock spice mixes like baharat (a mix of warm spices used in the Middle East) or shichimi (a Japanese blend of ground chiles and sesame seeds) will depend on the global flavors that most appeal to you.

Grains and starches: Short-grain rice, dried pastas (bucatini, mezzi rigatoni or farfalle), spelt, pearl barley.

Nuts and nut butters: Pine nuts, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds (pepitas), pistachios. Toasted nuts like these (not as everyday as almond and peanuts) are good in salads and granola, on roasted fish, or just with olives for a classic pre-dinner snack.

Preserves and pickles: Pickled hot peppers, cornichons, kimchi, preserved lemons, roasted chiles, horseradish, caperberries, dried sausages such as saucisson sec and chorizo. The intense flavors of pickled and salted ingredients can be a great pick-me-up for mild dishes. In cooking, you can often substitute a bit of preserved lemon for regular lemon, or use the brine from cornichons as part of the liquid in a recipe.

Condiments and sauces: Gochujang, mango chutney, miso, wasabi, dark soy sauce, Chinese oyster sauce, Asian chili bean pastes.

Produce: Shallots, fresh mint, fresh rosemary, lemongrass, fresh Serrano and Thai bird chiles, fresh bay leaves.

Dairy: Ghee, crème fraîche, aged cheeses (Gruyère, blue cheese). Ghee (Indian-style clarified butter) and crème fraîche can reach much higher temperatures than butter, yogurt and sour cream without burning or breaking, so they are useful in cooking.

Freezer: Edamame, curry leaves, makrut lime leaves, merguez (spicy lamb sausages from North Africa). Fragrant leaves like makrut lime and curry (not the spice mix, but an Indian tree with scented leaves) are much more powerful in frozen form than dried.

Baking: Bread flour, pectin, almond flour, tapioca pearls, rose and orange flower waters, gelatin sheets, black cocoa, currants, fresh yeast, sparkling sugar, pearl sugar, candied citrus rinds

Best Practices

Once you have your ingredients, remember that cooking will always create change and disorder. Cans of tomatoes may never match, spices may never live in matching containers, and your hot sauce collection may always try to take over the condiment shelf. But here are a few final thoughts on how to keep your pantry well stocked and well organized enough to be truly useful.

ORGANIZING TIPS

Cooks with different styles need different systems. Some people store the jam with the dried fruits and maple syrup; others associate it with peanut butter, mustard and mayonnaise. The best logic is your own, and it may take some time to figure that out.

If you can’t see it, you’re probably not going to use it. A storage space with more shelving is the most efficient configuration for ingredients. Drawers or slide-out shelves also help tremendously with visibility.

Store everything you can in clear containers. Airtight plastic ones are best, and available in many shapes, sizes, and systems. Rectangular shapes make the best use of space.

Keep a roll of painter’s tape and some permanent markers in a kitchen drawer. It’ll help you make quick labels.

MAXIMIZING INGREDIENTS

Be realistic about your habits. It’s great to clean and trim a week’s worth of vegetables at once — but if you’re not going to do that, buy smaller quantities.

Buy ground spices in the smallest quantities you can find (except for spices you use regularly). Specialty companies will ship as little as an ounce, about 3 tablespoons. You’ll save space and produce better, brighter flavors in your food.

Buy fresh herbs. Dried herbs used to be a pantry essential, but most start out with very little flavor and lose it quickly in storage. (A couple of exceptions are dried oregano and dried thyme.) Pick up fresh herbs when you need them for a particular recipe; it’s a better investment of money and storage space.

Buy heavy, shelf-stable ingredients like boxed broth and canned tomatoes in bulk; better yet, order them online to save time and irritation. Almost any delivery service or website will offer a better price on these items than a brick-and-mortar store.

Cooked ingredients are much easier to use up than raw ones. Whether you steam, boil, pan-fry or roast, cook anything in your refrigerator that looks tired. You can always use it in a salad, a grain bowl or a pasta.

morning witches!!

made lavender lemon cookies from components harvested in my yard and wanted to share the process!!

this is a fun witchy activity. lavender helps promote relaxation, happiness, cleansing, peace, protection,  and purification. lemon helps promote mental clairty, joy, and is also good for cleaning. together, these are very spritely, joyful cookies!

so, heres the box of lavender and rosemary I harvested yesterday.

then i remembered we have a lemon tree! so i grabbed some of those too and took down a bundle of lavender i had been drying to make cookies :)

then of course you have to zest the lemons and squeeze a lil lemon juice (for later, its not required for this recipe.)

next, you get the dried lavender off the stalk, boil a little with sugar and strain to make simple syrup, and set the rest aside for later!

after that you can get down to the making of the dough, you will need:

1. 1/2 cup white or brown sugar

2.1/2 cup butter

3. 2 eggs

4. 2 1/2- 2 3/4 cups of baking flower (i used gluten free, ill talk about the Consequences of that later)

5. 2 tsp double acting baking powder

6. 1 (or more ;0 ) teaspoons of vanilla extract

7. 3 tbsp lavender buds

8. 2 lemons worth of zest

instructions:

1. cream the butter and the sugar. to cream, you can use a pastry cutter, potato masher, stand or hand mixer, or just be really aggressive with a spoon. combine them untill there a fluffy homogenous mass.

2. beat in the eggs, flour, baking soda, lavender, lemon zest, and vanilla.

4. make the dough into a ball and wrap in saran wrap. put it all in the fridge for 3-4 hours to chill.

5. after its chilled, get a clean cutting board, hopefully a larger one without those little rims to catch juice.

6. preheat the oven to 375° Fahrenheit,  or about 190° Celsius

7. flour the surface you are working on, your hands, and your rolling pin lightly. then begin the process of flattening the dough with the pin.

8. once dough is nice and flat, descend upon the dough with FUN SHAPE COOKIE CUTTERS!!! yay!!!

9. keep collecting the little dough bits that dont quite make it into thr cookies, ball them and roll em out more. do this till u have very little dough left, which you can shape into a little circle and add to the baking sheet (or just eat it, hehe.)

10. either add parcment to or grease and flour a cookie baking sheet.  then place the cookies on the sheet and pop em in the oven for 7 - 12 minutes.

unfortunately, i did not get a picture of the dough as i am a goon and a fool :( but i took a pic of the cookie cutters!

Now, its time to make the icing! I made boiled icing and due to a unfortunately sized saucepan, covered my entire kitchen in sugar. SO PLEASE USE A MID SIZE SAUCE PAN, NOT A TEENY ONE LIKE I DID.

the process goes as follows:

you will need:

1. 2 cups sugar

2. 1 cup water

3. 2 egg whites

4. 1 tbsp lavender simple syrup

5. 1 tsp vanilla extract

6. (a little zest and lavender buds, if desired)

instructions:

1. combine water, sugar, and syrup in the MEDIUM (i cannot stress that enough) saucepan. cover on a medium heat for approx. 3 minutes, till all sugar crystals dissolve.

2. uncover and grab a candy thermometer. bring the sugar to a boil and keep an eye on the temperature, stirring often.  the temp you are looking for is BETWEEN 238-240 DEGREES. the sugar should create long, delicate spindly strings when you take spoon outta the water.

3. turn the heat off. take the egg whites and beat UNTIL FOAMY.

4. this is where you must use an exceeding amount of caution unless you want chunks of cooked eggwhite in your glaze: pour the hot sugar mixture into the egg in a THIN STREAM, STIRRING CONSTANTLY.

5. once thats all mixed, add vanilla, and lemon + lavender if desired.

glaze pic:

when the cookies are done, put a little glaze on each one of them to create a tasty clear coating. additionally, if you make the cookies with GF flour: PUT ON THE GLAZE BEFORE MOVING COOKIES OFF THE PAN. the GF flour is a little less able to keep its shape and will fall apart on you if you dont put thr glaze on to keep it together. put the glaze on. let it set. theres a reason so few of my cookies are in this picture of the finished product:

HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY!! hope this helps,

Blessed Be!!!

title: angel cake

word count: 1814

summary: Mayoi bakes an angel cake with his angel — Though, he didn't have the courage call him something like that in real life at all...

commissioned by @lovecre​ , available on ao3 here ! tysm for supporting my work!

my guidelines for commissions are here, in case anyone else is interested

One day, I’ll teach you how to bake a really good cake!

Mayoi was sure that could have been a joke. There was no way it wasn’t, right? Someone like Eden surely wouldn’t want to spend his time with someone like him. Especially doing something as pure as baking. Mayoi had no place anywhere near his kitchen.

And yet here he was today, staring at a myriad of ingredients in front of him, and Eden’s sweet smile, sweeter than any of the sugar on top of the counter, as he hands Mayoi a lavender apron, courtesy of Niki, or so he was told.

This is completely surreal.

“Come on, you don’t wanna get flour on your clothes, do you?” Eden jokes, with absolutely no bite to it. Mayoi is having trouble processing the scene. He quietly takes the apron in hands, feeling them shake as he holds the garment.

“Y-You shouldn’t have gone… through the trouble of getting me this!” He stutters, though he does unfold the apron, tentatively putting it around himself and tying it on his back. “It’s fine if I get dirty, right? You’re the one who… who should...”

He doesn’t even know what to say!

Eden’s eyebrows drop into a concerned expression. “Of course it’s not.” He says, and he looks like he might want to say something else, but doesn’t. Mayoi wonders if that was wistful thinking on his part. “You’re okay with this, right? You look nervous.”

Oh, no, he’s too cute— Mayoi has to avert his eyes. He’s just overwhelmed, he wants to say, but it’s hard to talk even when Eden was such a patient friend. All he can do is nod and hope Eden understands, even though he’s not deserving of it…!

“Good. Remember that we’re friends, right? If you’re here it’s because I like you and I want you to be here.” He assures, voice soft, expression gentle, his blue eyes full of warmth. Mayoi feels heat creep up to his face like crazy. Geez, if he knew what the things he said were doing to him… “Now let’s get to baking.”

Eden steps away from him in a brief moment, Mayoi finds himself missing it when he was closer, even though it was still a healthy distance — He has it so bad, honestly, he’s hopeless — though he pays attention to what he was doing, taking bowls from the cabinets under the counter and placing them there.

“...what are we gonna make?” He gathers up the courage to ask. Eden set a big tube pan next to a bowl.

“Hmm, I thought maybe angel food cake?” He blinks, looking at the ingredients thoughtfully for a moment, then Mayoi again. “Ah, but if you don’t like it we can make something else!”

“I...I do like...um, I like it.” He stumbles with his words. Eden smiles and he feels like that might happen again.

“Okay, good. We can get started now. I’m gonna have you sift the dry ingredients, alright?”

A couple steps to the side, Eden separates the food items on the table. A cup, strainer, flour, salt and sugar near Mayoi’s side, eggs, some sort of cream, and small extract flasks near his.

“You’ll do it like this,” Eden starts, filling up a cup with flour, then pouring it slowly over the strainer as he shakes it slightly on top of the bowl, giving light taps to the side so the powder would pour through the holes faster — Mayoi blinks at it. “The measurements are on the paper, you do it in this bowl then change to the other empty one, then to this one again, and the other until you’ve done it five times. Is that alright?”

“Y-Yes! Leave it to me.”

(When the strainer is given to Mayoi, their hands touch—!)

“I’m gonna beat the eggs and the cream. We’re gonna mix everything up together in the end.” He explains, and Mayoi nods.

It’s easy enough to do that. Pouring sugar into the cup, then through the strainer, then the salt, and the mix with the flour goes through the strainer again… it felt nice, almost. No, it actually did. Knowing he was a part of whatever this is was good. It made him happy.

He still has no idea how he and Eden actually became friends at all. Maybe Eden felt bad for him — That seemed most likely, even though he said he didn’t — since he was assigned to help Anzu with ALKALOID’s case, and Mayoi clearly was the one member who stuck out the most, especially when you compared him to his unitmates…

(Because, well, what was Mayoi really? Hiiro, Aira and Tatsumi all had this bright light to them, while he was just… just… creepy. Wrong. He shouldn’t have been grouped up with them, he shouldn’t be here now at all, actually, even though…)

Mayoi blinks. He sees the bowl with the dry mix in front of him.

(He has a moment of clarity in which he ponders that he really should calm down — Just going in these thinking spirals all the time wasn’t getting him anywhere at all, he might have even made things worse during certain events. Now it certainly wasn’t happening, but… with how his feelings for Eden had been growing he just didn’t know what to do.)

In any case, he was done with that now. He glances at Eden, who was genuinely invested in beating the eggs into a fluffy white texture — And he wonders how he should speak up.

“Um, I’m done with…”

Bad idea. Eden yelps suddenly — Jumping in place with a jolt, almost bumping against the mixer and dropping it. Mayoi feels his stomach sink.

Oh no, oh god no, he’s seriously messed up now, Eden was going to hate him, they’d never—

“Aah, sorry, that startled me…” Eden speaks, pushing the bumped-into mixer back into place, but Mayoi barely hears it. He feels jitters wrack his entire body, delving him into trembling as he clutches the strainer like a lifeline. He’s going to hate him. Eden will definitely hate him now. Just like how it should have always been, but he can’t bear that thought now. “M...Mayoi? You look pale, are you...”

“I-I’m so sorry.” Are all the words he can get out. “I’m sorry! I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to s-scare you, I’d never do anything bad to you, I just…!”

He’s gonna hate him for this, he’s...

“Mayoi?” He vaguely hears Eden’s voice through his panic. It’s blurry, hidden beneath the layers of his own internal dialogue— “Mayoi, it’s okay. It just startled me. I’m not mad…”

“A-Ah.” Mayoi breathes. He’s still shaking like a leaf, down to the tip of his fingers. Eden’s image wavers in front of him. He breathes once more, in and out. “I’m so sorry.”

“You don’t have to be, okay. Everything’s fine.”

Eden gives him that soft smile, and Mayoi feels his heart beat fast — This was doomed from the start, really. He’s put at ease through what seemed like a pure white glow emanating from him, but his hands still feel shaky and clammy. So much for having these feelings, he thinks, so much for being in love. He’s been getting better with standing under a spotlight recently but what were these feelings if not overwhelming? Everything’s way too much, frankly, he tries to keep himself from ruining this like how he keeps himself from bruising a peach.

“N-No, it’s not, I just…” He takes a deep breath to settle his nerves. And they’d barely gotten through mixing the batter. What a mess. “I’m acting really weird, I know. B-But I’m nervous about… being near you like this… not because I hate, but because I d-don’t deserve it and, and…”

Mayoi feels a buildup of pressure, where exactly he doesn’t know — Words that need to get out, so they rush before he can contain them—

“...and I really like you! I’m so sorry I’m so bad at this…!”

...and then he realizes what he’s done, and after a second of silence, slaps a hand over his mouth. Oh. Oh no.

Eden blinks at him, wide eyes and mouth agape. Does he start apologizing now? In a fit of irony he doesn’t even want to. Something about that expression of his was just… but, no, Mayoi couldn’t stand the thought of making him uncomfortable. Not at all.

“Sorry, sorry, I…”

He’s moving to get away, not seeing any other path to take, but he feels a smaller hand on his.

“Wait.” Eden mutters. “D...Do you mean what I think you do?”

Mayoi’s heart beats… no, he feels like it’ll stop. The hand on his is warm, sudden, somehow it settles his nerves slowly, like a sip of warm tea in the morning. He finds himself going still.

“Yeah.” He mutters quietly, averting his eyes, but there’s no way to avoid the light he sees around Eden.

And the other boy sighs. “Mayoi, you know I like you too, right?” His face flushes slightly, warm pink over his cheeks — Mayoi is so overwhelmed. “I have… um, for a while now. I’m surprised you didn’t notice.”

The hand that had been holding his seems to shift a bit, wanting to lace their fingers. Who is he to refuse? That doesn’t exactly matter, because even if he was anyone at all, he wouldn’t have refused it.

His fingers are laced with Eden’s.

Is it even possible something like this is happening? Is Eden an angel? He must be. He definitely is, actually, reaching out to someone like Mayoi and… ah, does that matter, now? This is what seemed to be his most unrealistic dream coming true, and yet, yet they…

And Eden smiles, amidst a brief laugh.

“Ah, so…” He starts, voice gentle, and takes a tentative step closer to Mayoi, making his breath hitch. “Sorry, I’m not actually that good at this either. But where do you wanna go from here? Does this mean we’re, um…”

Dating? Would they date one day? Ah, that’s too much for his heart to handle…!

“Um, w-whatever you want is fine, of course.” Mayoi’s voice comes out high. God, he can’t believe this is happening at all. It feels like the reality is still barely sinking in, he feels a smile tease its way into his lips, but he doesn’t want to take this for granted at all… “This… feels… surreal, to me.”

“But it is real.” Eden assures. “It’s weird for me too, okay, so maybe let’s take it slow. Even though I’m so happy you return my feelings… ah, that’s still funny to say!”

Ah, Mayoi has seen heaven, and he wasn’t even coming back.

“Do you wanna keep making the cake, then?” Eden asks, his smile growing bigger. And Mayoi can’t help but smile too, now—

“I...I’d like that.”

Where Were You In the Morning? (s.m.)

Summary: Mornings in the Mendes family.

Pairing: Shawn Mendes x Reader

WARNINGS: bad writing

this is just a lil fic i’ve been writing on the side! please continue to vote on my other post! i’m finishing that one up in the next few hours, but that’ll (hopefully) be a fic series that’ll keep me occupied in the coming weeks.

UNEDITED

enjoy if you want :)

***

“Good morning, my precious girl.” Shawn cooed to his daughter at eight a.m., the usual time for them to begin their daily shenanigans when he’s home. “How are you today?”

“Mm.” She muttered into his shoulder as he carried her to the changing station in her room, taking off last night’s dirty pamper, using a wipe to wipe her clean, put baby powder on her, and put her in a clean one. “Good.”

He picked her back up again, carrying her to his and his wife’s room, laying her down on their bed in his spot and putting a few pillows around her frame so that she can go back to sleep if she wanted. Then he went into his office, where he calls his “writing room”. Which, ironically, is the room where he writes his music, but he also writes “thank you” letters to venues and event promoters, and plays chess with Cez when he’s absolutely tired of working. 

Back in the bedroom, Angel sat herself up and crawled over the pillow mountain her Daddy made, laying her fluff of chocolatey curls on her Mama’s pillow. “Hi, Mama.” She giggled through her endless wall of hair. 

(Y/N) gently pushed Angel’s hair back with a sleepy smile. “Hello, my love.” 

“Mama, we play today?” 

“Yes, we can play today. Do you want to go to the park?”

Angel’s little hazel eyes widened in excitement. “Park?”

“Yep. Park. We can do swings, the slide, the monkey bars, anything.”

“Daddy come too?” She asked. “Daddy come and push me?”

“Well, how about we ask Daddy after we eat and we’ll see. Okay?”

“Kay. Want “faffles”, Mama.”

“You want waffles for breakfast?” (Y/N) asked the little girl, already certain that waffles with bacon and eggs was what she wanted to eat. That’s what she wants to eat everyday, and sugary oatmeal with strawberries on the rarest of occasions. She picked Angel up and carried her to the kitchen, sitting her in her highchair and giving her some apple juice to keep her (relatively) quiet while (Y/N) cooked for the three of them. She started to fry the bacon in the pan, humming a random tune while her fiancé padded quietly into the kitchen.  She squealed when she felt him hug her from behind and kiss her shoulder. “Hi.”

He took a swift inhale of her hair and drowned in the scent of strawberries and honey. “Hey.” He mumbled, pinching the revealed skin on her hip right by the “S” tattoo in tiny lettering. “Plans for today?”

“Angel wants to go to the park.” She replied, flipping the bacon out of the pan and moving it to the back burner to cool while she started making waffles. “And she very specifically said she wanted her Daddy to come, too.”

“Of course!” His body was still laced in hers and he smiled to himself, kissing her twice--once behind her ear and again on her brown cheek. He really loved this woman with everything he had. Since their third date, he knew that this was the woman he was going to marry; and he liked to think that she knew that as well. They both fell hard and fast, so they dated for four months, said their “I love you”s before his Illuminate tour, and then when he got back, they moved in together. They weren’t married yet and neither of them minded that. He was just grateful she said yes to his proposal in the first place. 

“Why are you all smiley?” She looked over her shoulder and chuckled. 

“I just love you. I’m so lucky to have such an amazing woman by my side.” He squeezed her in his arms a bit longer, then let go before going over to Angel and picking her up out of her highchair. “And I’m so grateful that you gave me my little princess.”

“Daddy,” Angel said, her caramel fingers tangled in his necklace. “Daddy, want fruit.”

“You want some fruit?” (Y/N) asked. “I thought you wanted waffles?”

“Want both.”

“A, you can’t have both.” Shawn replied, getting thr fruit out of the refrigerator anyway. “You have to pick.”

“Both, Daddy.” She whined, kicking her feet lightly. “I put syrup on my fruit.”

He scrunched his face as he put her breakfast on a koala ZooPals plate that (Y/N) kept from her childhood. He put cut up bits of half of a waffle on the big part of the plate, with scrambled eggs in one small part, and strawberries and pineapple pieces in the other. He set the plate in front of her, pouring warm maple syrup over her waffles.. and her fruit.

She really is (Y/N)’s weird ass kid, he thought to himself.

“Tank you!” She exclaimed, not bothering to use a fork and sticking her hands in her plate, as most two-year-olds do.

“You’re welcome, beans.” He kissed her forehead, going back to the stove and making he and (Y/N)’s plates and carrying them to the breakfast bar next to Angel. “Baby, what are you looking for?”

“The Rosé,” She mumbled, fumbling around in the refrigerator. “I want to drink.”

“Here,” He reached past her and grabbed the Dom Perignon and orange juice. “let’s make mimosas instead.”

“Mama!” Angel shouted because she wanted attention, and, like both of her parents, she hated when no one was talking to her for longer than five minutes.

“Yes?” Replied (Y/N) as she poured the champagne nearly to the top of a red Solo cup, splashing the tiniest bit of juice after.

“Want juice, pease. Daddy, juice?”

He took out the orange juice and one of her sippy cups, filling it most of the way with juice and the rest of the way with water so it wasn’t super sweet. “Here, beans.”

“Tanks, Daddy. Lub you.” She hummed right before taking a big sip of her juice, licking her pink lips clean of the residue.

“Love you, too.” He pulled the chair out for his fiancée to sit, sitting down, and picking up a piece of bacon from his plate and crunching it in his mouth. “You excited to play at the park today, Angel?”

“Yeah!” She nodded happily. “Daddy, we go on the “swide”?”

“Yeah, babes, we’ll go down the slide all you want, okay? Me, you, and Mama.”

“And den we go get cookies!”

“Cookies?” (Y/N) perked up from slurping her half-assed mimosa. “Beans, you didn’t say anything about cookies.”

“Mama, want cookies after. Daddy get one too.”

“Well, thanks for your generosity.” Shawn snorted to himself. “Glad I’m allowed to participate.”

“Mm. We’ll have to think about that, beans, because we have ice cream here, remember? Daddy bought some when he went to the store last week.”

“Chocolate?” She stared at Shawn’s bacon. “Daddy.....bite?”

He groaned. “Do you want your own piece?”

She shook her head. “No, Daddy, just some yours.”

He got up from his seat, breaking a piece of the bacon (reluctantly), and dropping it in her mouth after her doing that “aaaaahhhh” thing that toddlers do. “There. Happy?”

“Yesh. Nummy, Daddy. I have one?” She asked right as he sat back down.

“Yeah, honey.” He got back up (reluctantly) and got her half of a strip of bacon, breaking it into four pieces for her to munch on. “There you go, bunny.”

“Tank you, Daddy. Lub you lots.”

“Love you too, sweetheart.”

“Lub you, Mama.” She said with a strawberry bit in her mouth. “Lub you so much.”

“Love you too, bugs.”

After breakfast, they’d cleaned up the kitchen. Then (Y/N) took Angel to get washed up and dressed while Shawn did the dishes, setting the toddler on she and Shawn’s bed while she herself got dressed. It was hot today; so she figured she could wear a sundress.

Shawn came upstairs, going into the bathroom and turning on the shower. While it was heating up, he went to their shared dresser to pick out jeans and a t-shirt to wear, and a pair of boxer briefs to go underneath. He put the ensemble on the bed in front of Angel, who was quickly getting sleepy from being full. “Bunny?” He asked her. “You okay?”

“I tired, Daddy.” She rubbed her eye. “Park still?”

“You don’t wanna lay down for a little bit before we go, beans? So that way you won’t be sleepy at the park.” (Y/N) suggested as she brushed her hair into a puff.

“Wanna go now, Mama.” She whined with heavy eyes.

“Alright.” Shawn sighed. “But if we go and you’re asleep in the car, we’re coming home and it’ll be nap time for you.”

She whined again, turning her head away from him because she heard something she didn’t want to hear from her Daddy, the king of giving her what she wants because she said so. “Daddy, park.”

“Okay, bugs, okay. But I mean it! When we get there and you’re sleepies in the car, Daddy’s turning the car around—“

“But Daddy, I sleepies now.” She emphasized, as if her being sleepy now would prevent her from being sleepy in the car.

“You sure you don’t wanna lay down for a bit?” (Y/N) sat next to Angel on the bed, rubbing her back soothingly. “It’s okay if you want to.”

“Mm mm, Mama.” She shook her head lazily. “Wanna go now.”

“Okay, bugs. Daddy’s getting in the shower now, okay? Be right back.” Shawn mumbled, tossing a towel over his shoulder, going into the bathroom, and closing the door with a ‘click!’ of the lock because Angel’s a master of opening doors and wreaking havoc on whatever was taking place on the other side of the door without a care.

(Y/N) got comfortable on the bed next to Angel, the little girl crawling up into her Mama’s lap and laying down on her chest. “Mama?” said Angel quietly, breaking the silence.

“Yes?” Replied (Y/N), looking down at the toddler who was fiddling the hem of her Mama’s sundress.

“Lub you.” She kissed the skin on her Mama’s collarbone, above the breast. “Mwah.”

“I love you too, baby.” She peppered kisses all over the little girl’s face and neck, making the child giggle sleepily.

Moments passed and Shawn soon emerged from the bathroom, body wrapped at the hips with a white cotton towel, then looked over at his two favorite girls snuggled on the bed together, asleep. “Of course.” He chuckled woth a shake of his head, putting on a pair of sweatpants and laying down next to them. He kissed their foreheads, and Angel’s eyes squinted open, ger gead sitting up.

“Daddy, park later?”

He nodded, gently setting her head back down, shushing her quietly so she wouldn’t wake her Mama. “Yes, baby. Park later.”

“Kay.”

The Bake Sale

Carlos' phone went off just as he got into his car. He knew from the ringtone exactly who it was, and he smiles as he answers.

"Hello beautiful."

"You have a job to do when you get home." Cecil says, sounding frustrated.

"Oh?" Carlos purrs, switching his phone to his left ear as he dug in his pocket for his keys. He unlocks the door and slides intobthe driver's seat, pulling the door shut. "Is this the kind of job where I do that thing with my tongue to drive you crazy? Or I could-"

"Brownies." Came the blunt reply.

"Carlos this is no time to mess around. The bake sale is this weekend and I refuse to take second place to Steve Carlsburg again for the third year in a row."

Carlos chokes on a laugh. "Excuse me?"

Carlos could picture Cecil at this point, waving his hands in annoyance and ranting at the countertop. He smiles again.

"I can hear you smiling. This is no laughing matter! This is serious Carlos!"

There was a clatter and then a few curse words that Cecil had picked up from Carlos over the years.

"I do love it when you talk dirty." Carlos teases.

"Carlos!" Cecil snapped.

"Okay. Okay I'll help you."

There was a pause and then Cecil's voice returns, quieter and meeker now.

"Thank you."

"I love you, you dork. I'll see you soon."

-

The drive home was fairly short and Carlos knew exactly what he wanted to make. He slips his shoes off by the door and hangs his keys up on the hook before making his way to the kitchen to find his exasperated husband sitting cross legged on the island in the middle of the kitchen.

"You're home!"

"And your ass is on the cooking space. Get down." Carlos scolds, crossing the room and kissing him chastely.

"You didn't mind me being up here last week." Cecil retorts as Carlos pulls him by the beltloops to the edge of the counter to kiss him once more before he took a step back

"I can't make an award winning desert with you up there." Is Carlos' answer as he sheds his jacket and starts to wash his hands.

Cecil follows, pulling his hair back. "What are we making?"

Carlos looks over his shoulder. "We're making my mama's brownies."

Cecil's face lights up in awe. "There's no way Steve can beat that!"

"Exactly." Carlos nods as he dries his hands. "Lets get started, shall we?"

Cecil nods and bounces on the balls of his feet, waiting for instruction.

"Preheat the oven to 350 and then get the eggs, butter, and chocolate." Carlos instructs, pulling the baking dish out and lining it before moving to the spice cabinet and pulling down both white and brown sugar, cayenee pepper, cinnamon, coca powder, vanilla extract, and flour. He then gets the can of coffee beans, Cecil never drank his coffee black so they had plenty, and deposited them all into the counter. He measures out the butter and chocolate needed and puts them in a bowl, handing it to Cecil. "Melt these please."

Cecil takes the bowl and puts it in thr microwave for a minute and a half, turning to watch Carlos sift together the flour, coca, cinnamon and cayenne. The look of concentration and determination was beautiful. Carlos sets the bowl aside and grabs another, looking up at Cecil with a grin. The microwave beeping startled Cecil so much he nearly fell, causing him to look away. He brings back the melted butter and chocolate, handing it over. Carlos takes it and pours the mixture into another bowl and adds the sugars and orange zest and finally the coffee.

"Eggs." He says, glancing up. "Fours please. One at a time." He instructs.

Cecil complies, cracking and adding the eggs with equal pauses between. Once the eggs were mixed in, Carlos stops and adds the dry ingredients and the vanilla extract. He then picks up the wisk and mixs some more. Finally he stops and dips his finger into the batter.

"What do you think?"

Cecil leans forward and takes Carlos' hand, pulling the finger into his mouth. The blonde's pupils dilated a little as he does so and Carlos just smirks. That is, until Cecil bites him.

"Why you little-"

"I think it needs more vanilla." Cecil interrupts.

Carlos hands over the bottle. "Be my guest."

Cecil takes it and bites his bottom lip as he pours. Once satisfied, he caps the bottle and nods in satisfaction. Carlos stirs again and tries it.

"Perfect." He muses, turning and pouring the batter into the waiting pan before sliding it into the oven and starting the timer. He puts the supplies back where they belong and the dishes in the sink to be washed later before making his way back to Cecil, who was standing near the stove. He pulls Cecil close and spins him around so he's pressed against the counter. The taller man let out a squeak of suprise, but it's quieted by Carlos' deep kiss. Cecil sinks into the kiss, bringing his arms up around Carlos' neck as he's lifted up onto the counter.

"My ass is on the cooking space again." Cecil whispers with a shudder and Carlos drags his tongue up the artist's neck, teasing his ear before gently biting him. Violet eyes once closed snap open as he's dragged forward once more. His legs automatically wrap around Carlos' waist as his back is pressed against the cool marble.

"Not anymore." Came the reply.

"Shut up and kiss me."

CARLOS' BROWNIES!!!

Yield: Makes 18 rich and super fudgy brownies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ¼ cup cocoa powder

• 1 ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (you can use 1/8 teaspoon for a little less “heat”, if you’re not sure)

• 1 cup unsalted butter

• 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips (I use Ghirardelli brand 60% cocoa chips)

• 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar

• ½ cup, packed, brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon instant espresso coffee granules (I use Medaglia D’Oro brand)

• 4 eggs, room temperature

• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

• ¼ teaspoon orange zest

-Preheat your oven to 350°, and line a 11 x 7 x 1 ½” glass baking dish with enough foil so that there is a slight overhang (for easier removal), and lightly mist with cooking spray; place the prepared baking dish on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (You can use a 9 x 13 pan, too; just know that the brownies will be slightly thinner, and you will need to adjust the baking time to about 25-35 minutes.)

-Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne pepper, and set aside these dry ingredients.

-Place the butter and the chocolate into a small to medium-size glass bowl, and place the bowl over a pot of very gently simmering water (double-boiler method); allow the butter and chocolate to melt together, stirring occasionally to blend.

-Once the butter and chocolate is melted, carefully pour it into another large bowl, scraping ever last bit of it out, and allow it to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes.

-Next, add both of the sugars, plus the instant espresso coffee granules, into the melted butter/chocolate mixture, and using a whisk, gently whisk those in until well blended.

-Add one egg at a time into the mixture, gently whisking until it is blended in; add in the vanilla and the orange zest, and whisk those in.

-Next, add the dry ingredients into the mixture, and gently whisk those in until they are incorporated, taking care not to over-mix.

-Pour the batter into your prepared pan, and bake for about 55 minutes, or just until a toothpick inserted comes out fairly clean (it’s not quite the same doing a “toothpick test” on fudgy brownies as it is a cake—you still may get a little batter, but it shouldn’t be too wet.)

-Allow to cool in baking dish for about 10 minutes, and then using the overhanging foil, lift the brownies out and allow them to completely cool and set (which can take 3-5 hours!) before cutting.

“egg powder and a can of toast” what thr fuck shdjfhdkfh

[beabaseball]

Could yeast work in place of baking soda? Or maybe whatever it is that makes meringues fluffy? Those are the two things I can think of that aren't flat and don't use baking soda/powder.

Yeah, those are two alternatives, I just dont know if straight up dumping yeast in will do it right (because no recipies are telling me otl, even thr ones including yeast added baking powder) and the merangrues are made fluffy by whipping eggs; most cornbread only calls for one egg so I dont know how much fluff that adds

We found out searching for "unleavened" cornbread works and gives an entire different search though, so that will hopefully work out! Thank you for suggestions though
