National Pizza Party Day

Make your own pizza at home, order in, or gather some friends for a pizza crawl through town to enjoy the ever popular Pizza Party Day.

Make your own pizza at home, order in, or gather some friends for a pizza crawl through town to enjoy the ever popular Pizza Party Day.

If there’s one thing that makes any day better it’s a hot slice of pizza shared among friends. National Pizza Party Day was created to give people an excuse (like we needed one) to get together with a group of people we love and enjoy the rich cheesy taste of pizza.

Pizza has a long history, and it has become one of the mainstays of office meetings, birthday parties, and friendly get-togethers.

History of National Pizza Party Day

The history of National Pizza Party Day is really the history of pizza itself. For thousands of years, people have been gathering around to enjoy this delicious food. Of course, all those years ago it may not have looked quite like we imagine it today.

The first people to make something like the pizza we know were the Greeks, who started by covering bread with bread, herbs, oil, and cheese. Another version was enjoyed by the Romans, who covered a dough sheet with honey and cheese and seasoned it with bay leaves.

Pizza first started looking like we’re familiar with as Neapolitan Flatbread in Italy, a dish made with mozzarella cheese from buffalo around Naples. Over time new ingredients were added and it spread across the globe.

In 1905 pizza found its way to America in a little pizzeria in Little Italy in New York City. Today cheese for pizza is produced in quantities of over 2 billion pounds every year and is one of America’s favorite foods.

With so much history behind this incredible dish, it’s not surprising that it finally got its own holiday. One of the challenges when organizing a pizza party is that not everyone agrees what should go on a pizza.

Some people fiercely believe that pineapple has no place on a pizza, while others think that anchovies do. The great thing about a Pizza Party is you can order enough variety for everyone!

Fun facts about Pizza

In an ode to National Pizza Party Day, let’s take a look at some fun and some surprising facts about pizza!

Western Europe is the biggest pizza market in the world, worth $54.4 billion, followed closely by America at $50.7 billion. You then have Latin and South America at $16.8 billion.

Americans order 350 slices of pizza every second!

The world’s most expensive pizza costs $9,200 and it can be found in Salerno, Sicily.

61 percent of people prefer thin-crust pizzas.

Women are twice as likely to order vegetarian toppings on their pizza compared to men.

Saturday is the most popular night to eat pizza. But, there’s never really a bad night for eating pizza, right?

You can order pizza from space – Yes, you read that right! Pizza Hut became the first restaurant to deliver a pizza to space, rocketing a pizza to an astronaut at the International Space Station. The pizza was topped with salami and extra spices because tastebuds are dulled in space.

Pepperoni is the most popular pizza topping! The least popular are anchovies, chicken, and pineapple.

How to celebrate National Pizza Party Day

There is nothing more delicious than celebrating this incredible day! You get to gather a group of friends together and order pizza from your favorite pizzeria. If you’re feeling really creative you can actually convince people to create their own pizza from scratch.You can start with a pre-made crust and sauce and just add your own toppings if you want it easy. Or you can go through the whole process of making it from scratch, sauce and dough and all!Another fun way to celebrate National Pizza Party Day is to do a “pizza crawl.” If you have ever wondered where the best pizza in your town is, National Pizza Party Day presents you with the perfect opportunity to find out. You can either do this solo and have your own party or you can get your friends together. Find out where you can get a pizza in your area, and go around different establishments. You can even take a book with you to rank your pizza experiences. If you get a slice from each place, you will be able to visit many establishments by the time you’ve had a full pizza!

{ SFW Positive Feedism Questions }

1) Are you a gainer, admirer, or both?

Both!

2) Sweet or savory foods as a preference?

Definitely sweet. I’ve got a major sweet tooth.

3) What weird food combinations do you really enjoy?

So far the weirdest food combo I can think of is salami dipped in ranch. Great for a quick snack, pairs well with white rice if you want something more filling.

4) Favorite nonsexual thing about feedism?

I’d say just the part where I can more freely enjoy the food I like.

5) Burping is cute: yay or nay?

Yay

6) Describe your perfect date

A relaxed one. A local, small restaurant or a hangout at either my own place or my partner’s.

7) Stuffing/feeding at home or in public?

So far only prefer at home. Then again, I’ve never given at try with doing it in public. I’m constantly worried about how strangers think of me by default.

8) Something you think all bigger people should hear___

You guys are all beautiful/handsome no matter what size you’re at. What matters is whether or not you’re happy with your body.

9) If you had an endless supply of food, what would you choose?

Okay, I know I said I have a sweet tooth, but dark chocolate. Baking chocolate levels of dark. Give me that 80-90% cacao and I’m happy.

10) Best piece of advice for new gainers would be___.

I’m a new gainer myself, so for now just take your time. Take it slow and eat however much of what you want to eat. Your weight will fluctuate no matter what you do.

11) The scale: important to you or just a number?

Definitely important for the time being. I was excited when I last weighed myself and saw the difference from before.

12) Where would you rather the fat to go, to the belly or the butt?

Definitely the belly. Most of my added fat already goes to my butt and thighs, I’d like to even it out.

13) When cuddling, do you like being the big spoon or the little spoon?

So far I’ve only ever been the little spoon, and I do enjoy it. But I wouldn’t mind being the big spoon for a try, so long as my partner doesn’t mind someone so short being in that position.

14) Favorite piece of clothing to outgrow/watch someone outgrow?

Paints. Very much pants. I still remember when I fixed a friend’s pants and it ripped in a different, but extremely close spot to the one I sewed while I was in the room. Beautiful sound,.

15) If you owned a restaurant, what kind of food would it serve?

No doubt something unhealthy like extremely creamy pasta or something healthier like this one chicken-based dish I really like but can’t remember the name of.

16) Favorite type of food?

Anything pasta with either chicken or shrimp. Especially if it’s either really creamy or cheesy.

17) How would you deal with family and friend’s comments about you or your partner’s weight?

I’ve only ever had negative comments from one family member, others kept quiet. So I would point out the fact that they’re clearly pushing their own insecurities onto me/my partner and need to back off.

18) Country you’d most like to take a food tour of?

Man, if I had been asked this question ten years ago, I would have adamantly said Japan. But these days I’m torn between Mexico and Italy.

19) What do you typically have for a midnight snack?

Typically? Nothing. When I can afford it? Those mini hostess donuts that come in medium-sized bags. Specifically the chocolate covered ones. I ate about half a bag just last night while gaming to destress. I’m not a stress eater, I kept it near me for just in case I was relaxed enough to finally feel hungry again.

20) What was the best meal you have ever had?

I’m honestly not sure. So for now I’ll say it’s the very rare artichoke and mayo meal I’ve had in the past. It’s simple to put together and I have zero issues with the textures.

Comfort food is a very personal thing; varying from person to person, even within the same household, let alone country or region. Tell me about some comfort foods you've encountered in your travels, and the people who introduced you to them

Comfort food, how I love thee! Despite growing up as Nord as they come, I love experimenting with my food as you all know, and have come across some real gems in my travels over the years.

Altmer

Spending time with my lovely Vellalinwe has taught me a thing or two about Altmeri cuisine, right down to the dishes the High Elves enjoy in their own homes. One of her favourites is a creamy, dairy-free rosemary and tomato soup with rice dumplings. Rice dumplings are little fried balls of seasoned rice, and are easy to break apart in the soup. Not too filling but just hearty enough to hit the spot.

Argonians

My close friend Marries-the-Night is a connoisseur of all things Saxhleel, especially food. The dish that will make any Argonian feel cozily moist is a bit bowl of hot noodles with crunchy honeyed mealworms and chicken. The saltrice noodles are flat and wide, and are stir-fried and served dry with a delicious sweet-and-spicy sauce made from native Murkmire plants.

Bosmer

If there's one thing that my friend Berrilyn has taught me, it's that Bosmeri late-night post-jagga food may very well be the best in Tamriel. Think sausage-stuffed fried chicken wings with creamy timber mammoth cheese sauce, sweet mammoth cheese omelette with bacon, and...just plain old cups of timber mammoth cheese, served hot and gooey (and pungent). Don't forget the salami sticks and pork crackling for dipping!

Bretons

Comfort food is taken very seriously in High Rock, and it's bound to be hearty. I'm personally a big fan of what the Bretons call cob loaf: a whole loaf of fresh sourdough bread is carved out, filled with something delicious, and the remaining bread is used for dipping. The chef at Alcaire Castle fills her cob loaf with a creamy, cheesy spinach dip with lardons!

Dunmer

Crab meat and scuttle is a popular snack among Dunmer from Blacklight to Mournhold, but my friend Lisandre from the Grey Quarter introduced me to something just as moreish: ash yam balls filled with gooey scuttle and saltrice. Fried like the Imperial arancini, these delicious bite-sized balls are made from ash yam paste, and can be served sweet and savoury. Ideal when dipped in flaming hot Stonefalls-style chutney!

Imperials

My newest friend, Viatrix Maxine, hails from the cold town of Bruma in northern Cyrodiil, where comfort food is king. One of her favourite dishes is a simple potato porridge with cured ham and smoked venison sausage, cinnamon, butter, and treacle. The sweet-and-salty blend of flavours is delicious, and the thick porridge is sure to warm you up in no time.

Khajiit

One of my favourite things to eat in Elsweyr is my friend Anxious-Claws' excellent moon sugar rice pudding. Made with coconut cream, sago pearls, glutinous rice, mango mash, and lots of moon sugar, this is one dessert that will keep you coming back. It's traditionally served chilled, and is the perfect sweet treat for any time of day!

Nords

We Nords love fighting, and I have a feeling that I will cause some fights when I reveal that my favourite Nordic comfort food is not the humble boiled creme treat or a good horker stew. No, it is something quite different: I declare venison pies to be my ultimate go-to when I'm feeling gloomy or homesick. Traditionally, pies have a thick and flaky all-butter crust, and are filled with a thick venison stew that's loaded with chunks of meat, juniper berry gravy, potatoes, and carrots. It's the perfect light meal (or a full meal, if you have two).

Orcs

My close friend Herregud Jotuncrusher is the disgraced (but highly dignified) daughter of a clan chief, and grew up eating the finest Orcish cuisine. But at the end of the day, you can't keep even the poshest Orc from their favourite comfort dish: thick, smoked slices of honey-baked ham, served with fried eggs, a tangy frost mirriam sauce, and a couple of raw radishes or baked potatoes.

Redguards

When I first visited the Alik'r, I met an old man in one of the smaller taverns in Bergama, who taught me the secrets to a really, really good mutton biryani. Much like Khajiiti biryani but far less sweet, this dish is fragrant with saffron and cumin, and the spicy grilled goat meat has the perfect amount of char. Filling, tasty, and easy to whip together, this is a sure way to win over any hungry Redguard.

A Ladies Charcuterie

As I remove the dark cured meat

from its cotton ham bag

its distinctive scent wafts into my nose

It hasn’t ‘gone bad’

or been ‘ruined’ by its time in the sun

Like salmon terrine on sourdough toast

the nose is the harbinger

of deliciousness to cum

Generations of family men

Forcing women to eat cheesy sausages

Till kohl tears stain their face

Vomit mixed with tangled hair

Self-absorbed

Blind to love’s misery

He constantly critiques

Dismissing her delicate flavours

Admonishing women’s recipes

Jeering at the aging process

Condemning the preservation of fresh meat

When a charcuterie apprentice comes of age

She fears critiques from the butcher sons

Claiming their dads won’t eat dried meats

as they’re unclean and

unfit for male consumption

So, the amiable lady obsessively cleans

Preens, Primps, Plucks, and Powders

till the once fragrant southern skin

loses all depth of character

A young woman confessed her disgust

at her traditionally ripened salami

I said “people adore cold cuts”

but my singular voice was nothing

compared to the film-star women

who all have chicken-on-the-bone

She longed to be palatable

No matter the personal cost

I tried to profess the beauty

of finely sliced gammon

but honestly, I didn’t blame her

for wanting what the paltry man sold

First, she bleached it

then had it trimmed

Now, her precious meat

is lighter, and baby-soft

She says it’s made her happy

that, on-the-hole, her fears are gone

Yesterday, she posted a link

Do you like the same foods as me? survey by joybucket

Section 1: Breakfast Foods

scrambled eggs: Yes, but I do prefer sunny-side up or over-easy.

coffee cake (it's bread mixed with cinnamon): Yesss. So good.

pancakes: I very rarely eat pancakes, but I like them. Waffles are better.

bacon: Ew, no. I don't get the obsession.

waffles: Yep. I'm perfectly fine with just good ol' Eggo's to be honest.

maple syrup: Mmm, of course. Gotta have that with pancakes and waffles. And maple flavored things like maple donuts or maple and brown sugar oatmeal.

toast with raspberry jam: I don't think I've ever had raspberry jam, but I think I'd like it. I like grape and strawberry.

Egg McMuffin: Yeah, with cheese.

blueberry muffin: Blueberry muffins are delicious.

a salad - eaten for breakfast: Not something I've ever wanted to have for breakfast.

pasta- eaten for breakfast: Pretty sure I haven't had pasta for breakfast either. I stick to the pretty common breakfast foods. Honestly, I mostly just have eggs.

granola bars: Yeah, they were good to just grab and go when I was in school or just to have as a snack.

yogurt and granola: Nah, I'm good. Not a big yogurt fan anyway and if I were to have any it was like a Go-Gurt or the Trix flavored ones, haha.

Section 2: Lunch or Dinner

macaroni and cheese: I'm not obsessed, but I like it. I prefer macaroni salad.

ravioli: Mmm, spinach and cheese ravioli is delicious.

tortellini: Pesto tortellini is the best.

mashed potatoes: Love mashed potatoes and gravy.

baked potato soup: I actually haven't tried it before cause I'm not much of a soup person, but that is one I have thought about trying.

cheesy potato soup: ^^^

butternut squash soup: That doesn't sound appealing to me.

chicken salad sandwich: Never had it.

chicken Caesar salad: I like Caesar salad, but I don't recall having it with chicken.

chicken salad wrap: Nah, not a wrap person.

ham and cheese with crackers: Swap the ham with turkey, salami, or bologna then yes.

sesame chicken: I've never had it.

sweet and sour chicken: Yum.

General Tao's Chicken: Never had it.

rice with chicken, vegetables, and pineapple: Never had that, but it doesn't appeal to me at all.

lasagna: I like lasagna and my mom makes a very delicious one, but in recent years I've become very particular and picky (even more so) with food and textures, and I don't enjoy lasagna noodles anymore. It's a shape thing. It's actually the same with tortellini. For whatever reason, those noodles are harder for me to eat. I like thin or penne noodles.

garlic bread: Garlic bread is the bomb. I love garlic. I love bread.

tacos: I would prefer a burrito or just skip out on the tortilla altogether to be honest, BUT I do love me a Doritos taco from Taco Bell.

nachos: I already talked about this recently, but I've been into using these chips called Andy Capp's Cheddar Fries in place of the typical tortilla chip or even French fries and making nachos with those consisting of beans, shredded cheese, gravy, guac, sour cream, cilantro, and onions. It's SO good.

pizza: I do love me some pizza. It's not something I crave a lot, but I do enjoy it.

quesadillas: Shredded chicken quesadillas are good. I don't have them very often either, though. Taco Bell's chicken quesadilla with their is avocado ranch is really good, though.

spaghetti: Spaghetti and meatballs are yummy. Instead of lasagna give me that.

chicken fried rice: It's fine. Not a big rice person, but I can eat fried rice or Mexican rice. I don't like just white rice.

crab rangoon: Mmmm, I've actually been really into that lately. I like when they're crispy and really stuffed with cream cheese.

Snacks: Chips and dips are my favorite snacks.

apples: Meh. It's been quite awhile since I've had an apple. I used to eat them more when I was younger with like peanut butter or salt.

grapes: I don't recall the last time I had grapes either as it has been awhile, but I like them. I'm just not a fruit person, it's not something I crave or reach for.

strawberries: They're good, but it's the same thing as I said with the previous answers. Chocolate covered strawberries are yummy, though.

crackers: I like buttery, garlic-y, or cheesy crackers.

protein bars: Ew, nooo.

milk chocolate: I like it. White chocolate is my favorite, though.

bananas: I would say they're my favorite if I were to choose a fruit and one I have more often in comparison to any other fruit. Banana milkshakes are my favorite.

popcorn: Extra butter and salt, please. Movie theater popcorn is the best. Ooh, and I recommend getting this garlic parm popcorn seasoning you can find at the store and some movie theaters.

Candy: Eh, not a big candy person. I much prefer brownies, cookies, cupcakes, donuts, muffins, ice cream/milkshakes, cheesecake...

Reese's: I loved 'em growing up, but for some reason in recent years I haven't been as into them. I'm also kind of thinking I may have developed a slight reaction towards peanut butter.

Sour Skittles: I hate sour foods so this is a no for me. <<< Me, too. They irritate my mouth and tongue and I just don't find the sour sensation enjoyable at all.

Hershey's Cookies and Cream bars: Yum. I wish they'd bring back the Halloween version (it had candy corn pieces instead) and the Christmas one (it had candy cane pieces) as well.

Tootsie Fruit Chews: Nah.

gummy bears I don't like gummy candies.

Jolly Ranchers: As a kid I had those all the time, the watermelon ones especially.

Smarties: I like 'em even though there's nothing exciting about them.

Sweet Tarts: Nah.

Reese's Pieces M&M's: Those are two different candies, though? Or I've somehow missed out on that combo. Either way, I like both.

Laffy Taffy: The banana ones were good.

Airheads: Nah.

Next Section: Dessert

chocolate brownies: Loveeee.

chocolate pie: Meh, no thanks.

coconut cream pie: Ew, coconut anything is a hard pass.

apple pie: No thanks. I really don't care for pie except for cheesecake.

pumpkin pie: Nooo. I don't like pumpkin anything.

key lime pie: Nope.

peach pie: Nope.

strawberry swirl cheesecake: Now this is a big yes. Love it.

cream puffs: Meh, I don't think they're that great.

custard-filled donuts with chocolate frosting: I don't like filled donuts.

chocolate chip cookies: I enjoy a good chocolate chip cookie now and then, sure.

peanut butter cookies: I like them.

gingerbread cookies: Nooo.

chocolate fudge: Yum. I love fudge, but if we're talking cookies Keebler has Fudge Sticks, which are fudge covered vanilla wafer cookies and they're so addicting.

chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream: Yum yum.

vanilla ice cream: I do enjoy just a classic vanilla shake or ice cream as well.

rainbow sherbet: I like it in this punch my mom makes, but I don't eat it by itself.

strawberry cream pie: No. I thought we were done with the pies.

strawberry shortcake: Nah.

chocolate-covered strawberries: White chocolate covered strawberries, please.

apple crisp: Nah.

dried cranberries on salads (aka craisins): Ew, no.

coleslaw: No.

Hi, I come to you in my moment of weakness, fellow(gn) food lover. The weakness is that I've never eaten guacamole. But I wanted to rectify it! And since the recipes you share are usually tasty and easy I was wondering if you had some tips or whatever. A personal version. What do you like to pair it with. A link. Anything.

I also wanted to compliment you for your balcony garden! I love gardens in all kinds and shapes.

Thank you so much in advance and I wish you a nice day!

This is so sweet and I am so glad you came to me, especially now, because I have recently seen probably the best guacamole recipe there is!

(1) If I were Cooking For Someone, I'd aim for something like this, but with more finely chopped onion and way less charisma. For equipment, a bowl and fork works fine. I've also never used garlic, but it sounds good... and I figure that shouldn't be a dealbreaker for Italy?

(2) If I'm cooking for myself, I don't deserve nice things, so maybe the official guacamole recipe of Irishcatholicville, Massachusetts. Traditionally, that's just one smushed avocado mixed with a couple spoonfuls of jarred salsa, but I love myself just enough to add citrus, cracked pepper, cilantro if I have it, and heat: either a half a chili pepper, chopped pickled jalapeños, or some hot sauce.

(3) If I'm cooking for someone who thinks avocado is gross, I go for less of a dip/spread and more of a relish, with lots of flavor. Mush two avocados into even, pudding-like consistency, and mince maybe half an onion, an entire bunch of cilantro, at least a whole fresh chili pepper with the seeds, and as much fresh lemon and cracked pepper as you can spare the energy for. (My husband thinks that avocado is too soft and bland, so this originated as half experiment, half fuck-you recipe, but he liked it, so now we eat it.)

(4) Serving suggestions! It's good with basically anything crunchy or bread-like, and/or with lean proteins, but specifically:

Chips and salsa, nachos, pita chips! Quesadilla, tacos, burritos etc., or just plain tortillas Rice and beans, cheesy bean sandwich Grilled salmon, meat, or chicken (especially for the last recipe) Lox..... or maaaybe raw salmon or tuna?? Toast, crusty bread, bagel, etc. Fried or poached eggs Lastly, a block of cheese, salami, a pound of grapes, half a watermelon, and a bowl

National Pizza Party Day 

Make your own pizza at home, order in, or gather some friends for a pizza crawl through town to enjoy the ever popular Pizza Party Day.

If there’s one thing that makes any day better it’s a hot slice of pizza shared among friends. National Pizza Party Day was created to give people an excuse (like we needed one) to get together with a group of people we love and enjoy the rich cheesy taste of pizza.

Pizza has a long history, and it has become one of the mainstays of office meetings, birthday parties, and friendly get-togethers.

History of National Pizza Party Day

The history of National Pizza Party Day is really the history of pizza itself. For thousands of years, people have been gathering around to enjoy this delicious food. Of course, all those years ago it may not have looked quite like we imagine it today.

The first people to make something like the pizza we know were the Greeks, who started by covering bread with bread, herbs, oil, and cheese. Another version was enjoyed by the Romans, who covered a dough sheet with honey and cheese and seasoned it with bay leaves.

Pizza first started looking like we’re familiar with as Neapolitan Flatbread in Italy, a dish made with mozzarella cheese from buffalo around Naples. Over time new ingredients were added and it spread across the globe.

In 1905 pizza found its way to America in a little pizzeria in Little Italy in New York City. Today cheese for pizza is produced in quantities of over 2 billion pounds every year and is one of America’s favorite foods.

With so much history behind this incredible dish, it’s not surprising that it finally got its own holiday. One of the challenges when organizing a pizza party is that not everyone agrees what should go on a pizza.

Some people fiercely believe that pineapple has no place on a pizza, while others think that anchovies do. The great thing about a Pizza Party is you can order enough variety for everyone!

Fun facts about Pizza

In an ode to National Pizza Party Day, let’s take a look at some fun and some surprising facts about pizza!

Western Europe is the biggest pizza market in the world, worth $54.4 billion, followed closely by America at $50.7 billion. You then have Latin and South America at $16.8 billion.

Americans order 350 slices of pizza every second!

The world’s most expensive pizza costs $9,200 and it can be found in Salerno, Sicily.

61 percent of people prefer thin-crust pizzas.

Women are twice as likely to order vegetarian toppings on their pizza compared to men.

Saturday is the most popular night to eat pizza. But, there’s never really a bad night for eating pizza, right?

You can order pizza from space – Yes, you read that right! Pizza Hut became the first restaurant to deliver a pizza to space, rocketing a pizza to an astronaut at the International Space Station. The pizza was topped with salami and extra spices because tastebuds are dulled in space.

Pepperoni is the most popular pizza topping! The least popular are anchovies, chicken, and pineapple.

How to celebrate National Pizza Party Day

There is nothing more delicious than celebrating this incredible day! You get to gather a group of friends together and order pizza from your favorite pizzeria. If you’re feeling really creative you can actually convince people to create their own pizza from scratch.

You can start with a pre-made crust and sauce and just add your own toppings if you want it easy. Or you can go through the whole process of making it from scratch, sauce and dough and all!

Another fun way to celebrate National Pizza Party Day is to do a “pizza crawl.” If you have ever wondered where the best pizza in your town is, National Pizza Party Day presents you with the perfect opportunity to find out. You can either do this solo and have your own party or you can get your friends together. Find out where you can get a pizza in your area, and go around different establishments. You can even take a book with you to rank your pizza experiences. If you get a slice from each place, you will be able to visit many establishments by the time you’ve had a full pizza!

Warnings: Some depression themes (and other usual warnings) 

Alone. 

A state he hadn’t been in -ever- during the two, wonderful, blissful weeks he’d had with Bucky. He was familiar with loneliness, knew it better than he did constant company. It had never made him ache like this, it had always been a soft, dull sensation poking around the back of his skull. Now it morphed into a sense of anguish, beat itself through his brain and down his spine. It had only been eight hours since Bucky left and Peter was laying on the kitchen floor, legs drawn up into one of Bucky’s massive gray t-shirts, held up only by his arms through the sleeves. His cheek pressed against the cold title, reminding him that their bed would be the same. Instead of rolling over into a patch preheated by Bucky’s furnace like body, he would fall into frigid sheets. It made the back of his throat burn to think about, the tear lines on his cheek already crusty and pulling the skin beneath them tight.

He had the burner phone pressed to his chest, had given up on making dinner while he waited. He knew it had to happen, that Bucky would have to leave for some span of time at some point, but he hated it. Wanted the phone to ring so he could hear the smooth rumble of Bucky’s voice over the line and know that this was all temporary, that Bucky wasn’t leaving him for good. 

The clock on the wall, made of burned wood and careful thought, ticked like it was just as impatient as he was. He jumped as the rice cooker whined, high but brief. Had forgotten he’d put it on, was glad he could just eat plain white rice if nothing else tonight. He thought about mustering up the energy to make the chicken in the fridge when the burner phone lit up.

It got halfway through the first ring when he answered. “Bucky?” 

“This is an automated message from the Peter Stark Tip Hotline. We are calling to provide updates on the case and remind the public that any tips leading to the arrest of Skip Westcott and/or the recovery of Peter Stark will be compensated. Currently police are investigating a sighting of Skip Westcott several weeks ago in West Virginia. There have yet to be any verifiable sightings of Peter Stark. Now a message from Tony Star-“ Peter hung up. 

He could handle the objective monotone update on his case, was relieved in fact to hear that there was so little for them to go on, but he couldn’t listen to his dad. He was already sad, he didn’t need guilt on top of it. 

The phone rang again. He was more hesitant this time but the need to speak to Bucky was too great. He would just hang up if it was the hotline again. 

“Hello?”

“Hey baby, you doin’ okay?” 

“Better now that I’m talking to you.” Felt his face heat at the cheesy line even though it was true.

Bucky chuckled, gravely as it rolled through the speaker. “Well, seems like we’re in a similar boat then.”

Peter couldn’t help but ask, “Did you get that phone call too? From the hotline?” 

A sigh, deep and tired. “Yes, I did. I want to say you shouldn’t have answered it but it could have been me for all you knew.”

“I didn’t listen to all of it. I stopped once my dad’s message was about to play.” 

“That’s for the best, he got heated again.” Peter heard Bucky shifting positions, the sound of his clothes sliding giving him away. “Have you eaten dinner yet?”

“No…” I’ve been too sad. The last part of his thoughts he kept to himself, not wanting to come off manipulative. It wasn’t Bucky’s fault he was sad and Peter didn’t want to accidentally suggest he was.

“Baby, you need to eat something.” Tone gentle, concerned but not forceful.

“I know…”

“I know you’re sad sweetheart, but I’ll be home in a few weeks. We can go do something fun when I do.”

Peter bit his lip. “Could we… Could we go dancing?” 

Surprised. “Why the sudden interest in dancing?”

He looked away as though avoiding eye contact despite being utterly alone. “Last time I saw Steve he talked about how he used to go swing dancing with his friend. He didn’t say your name but I was hoping it was you? I wanted to try it with you but if you don’t want to-“

“Peter, I would love nothing more than to take you out to dinner and go dancing. We would just have to be careful. Go a few towns over, maybe even book a hotel and go out of state. Either way if that’s something you really want to try I’ll make it happen.”

“I- I really want to.” Had to bite his lip to keep from saying but we don’t have to. He could let himself have this one, just this once. 

“We can start planning when I get close to coming home. I want a few days with you at the house before we go anywhere.” 

“We could just stay home if you don’t want to go out. Just put some music on and do it at home.” 

“It’s not the same, your first time should be on a dance floor, there is nothing like it and you should experience that first.”

“Okay, Bucky.”

“You still need to eat, Peter.”

Peter sighed. “I was hoping you forget about that part.”

He could hear Bucky smirking over the line. “Nothing slips past me, baby.” 

“Mhm, sure.” It felt good to tease Bucky, even apart. 

“Peter.” 

“I know, I know.” Peeling himself off the floor was a feat but he managed, already in a better mood with Bucky on the line. 

“There is some precooked chopped chicken in the freezer along with a microwave steamer bag if you need something easy.”

“Thanks, I’ll try it.”

The rest of the week was quiet. Spending most of his time alone gave him room to think, room he didn’t really want. Bucky often kept him busy, too busy to think much on the things that bred doubt and concern for him. Without Bucky he was left stranded, on his own with his only life line god knows where and only reachable through phone. Eventually he needed an outlet, something to hit the pressure release on everything. 

So, he wrote.

It took a few minutes to find what he needed. Packages had been flowing into their home at a steady rate and it was hard to catalog it all when all the boxes looked the same. Eventually he found it. A packet of loose notebook paper and a box of different colored, high quality pens. Bucky had picked them out, Peter had never been terribly picky about his pens. Even billionaire households had their cheap ball point pens rolling around more often than not. Most of his letters had been written with pens from cheap bulk packs because he’d gone through them so quickly. Peter Stark may have been the son of a multi billionaire but even he had a carefully budgeted allowance. 

He went to the small table in their kitchen, a rustic pine two seater, and dropped off his cargo. He whipped up a snack, just a simple salami and cracker plate, before sitting down. 

The rainbow array of colors the pens came in was inviting. When he’d written Bucky and other inmates he had been stuck with black and blue ink exclusively. Being able to choose now was a small luxury that he was happy to take advantage of. He plucked a purple one from the package and a clean sheet of paper from the reem. Smoothed the paper across the flat surface of the table before picking up the pen. The light taps of the end against the table as he thought of what to write kept a steady ticking pace. 

Pen touched the pen to paper and he was off. 

_____

Each note had something entirely different on it. Each with something positive and sweet, kind and affectionate. They were hidden around the house. All in places where Bucky would easily (hopefully) find them but not obvious enough that they would be found all at once. He wished he had thought to do it before Bucky left. The idea of tucking notes into his car and between the folds of packed clothes would have been a nice way to remind Bucky of home out on the road. He would just have to remember to do it another time. 

He sat down at the table once again, took a moment to organize his thoughts into neat little boxes as he thought about if he really wanted to do what was next. The difficult part would be getting his message across in such a way it would not be skewed, well, not skewed too much. His words would be twisted and turned endlessly but as long as the base letter was what it needed to be, it would just have to be okay. 

_____

Dad, 

I’m writing this letter to let you know that I’m alive. I can’t say much more about the situation than that. I love you, I didn’t get to say that before everything happened. I know you’ll look for me no matter what I say but I hope you take care of yourself too. I knew I would have to leave you at some point, I just wish it hadn’t been like this. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to reach out again. Currently I’m alone and this has helped fill some of the silence and loneliness. I don’t have much to say, there is just so much that I can’t that I don’t know what to put in instead. I guess for now this will have to be it. 

With Love, 

Peter

_____

The letter was painfully vague and he felt bad for all the false pitfalls he had placed in it. Peter knew his dad’s mind would go to the worst place possible, yet that had in a way been the point. The longer he could keep Tony off of Bucky’s trail the better. He didn’t like the idea of manipulating his father but protecting Bucky came first, no amount of guilt could overcome that. Peter couldn’t help but see the irony in their positions. They had reversed roles. Now Peter was kept prisoner because of his father whilst Bucky was free to roam the streets like he owned them. For Bucky’s sake, he was happy. Having spent so long in prison, Bucky deserved a sense of normalcy and Peter would never in his life guilt him for having it where he couldn’t. It wasn’t Bucky’s fault that his father was overbearing and unwilling to let Peter make his own choices. 

He sealed up the letter and wrote the address he’d had memorized since the first day of kindergarten. He didn’t put a return address on it. Part of him wanted to stick the letter in their mailbox down at the end of the road instead of waiting for Bucky to take it but the letter would be stamped with the nearest city’s location and that was far too big of a risk. Instead, it was clipped to a hanging pin by the door. The letter wouldn’t be touched for weeks but it would be ready for Bucky’s next trip. So, he did what he had been doing since this all began.

He waited for Bucky. —

Twelve days.

Bucky had been gone for twelve long, agonizing, gruelling days.

Peter had spent most of it curled up on the various floors throughout the house. He didn’t know why it helped, but it did. Maybe it was just too hard to make himself sit up and act like a regular person when his heart was halfway across the country. He felt hollow without Bucky here.

But he didn’t feel hollow now. No, he was no longer sprawled across the floor like a dead body or a lifeless doll. Peter was eagerly pacing through the kitchen - the only room on the first floor whose windows faced out front – eyes glued to the small section of their driveway that he could actually see. He’d been pacing like this for an hour and a half already. Bucky had called to say he would be home before 8PM, and the clock on the wall was now reading 7:47.

Finally, finally, at long last, there was a distinct crunch, the unmistakable sound of tires rolling over dirt and rocks. Peter whipped around to face the window and caught the tail end of a silver car driving past. His heart raced. Bucky was home!

A door opened outside, then shut. Peter grinned and rushed for the front door, intending to wrench it open and throw himself into his beau’s arms. His socked feet skidded across the hardwood as he raced for the mudroom, but three loud, sturdy knocks from the other side of the door gave Peter pause.

He was fairly certain Bucky would rush in to see him, not joke around by making him come to the door. Although, maybe he had his hands full or something? He might’ve been knocking because he needed Peter to let him in. The thought made him eagerly reach for the knob, unable to keep the excited grin off his face.

But the smile didn’t last. It was wiped away almost instantly, erased like marker on a whiteboard the moment he opened the door and met the shocked, disbelieving face of none other than Steve Rogers.

Once again I didnt take any food pics. For my bf's birthday I made a simple charcuterie board with grapes, olives, almonds, salami, gouda, mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. Then we had cheesy garlic and rosemary bread with chicken... then we had beautiful medallion steaks from the butcher shop and mashed potatoes with a red wine reduction... then we had lemon rosemary cake with passion fruit custard I whipped up on the fly.... we ate for like 7 hours 🤙lots of whiskey shots too

You mentioned your husband does keto. I’m about to start. 🤞🏻I don’t die! Any tips for a newbie?

Research recipes and snacks and make sure you stock up on stuff you like--cheeses, salamis, sugar-free jello, nuts, tuna pouches, cooked shrimp, rotisserie chicken, etc.. Figure out good salad/chicken wing/sashimi sources so you can get a quick meal when you are hungry and don’t have time to go to the supermarket or cook. Buy sugar-free candies that will satisfy your sweet tooth.

You kind of have to be prepared for this diet to work, because most of the food out there is not keto friendly. You have to plan your grocery shopping and eating out carefully.

Cheesy zucchini casserole is a great substitute for mashed potatoes. Spaghetti squash with butter and parmesan is a great carb-like side dish. Low-carb pot roast and chicken pot pie taste exactly like the originals even though they have cauliflowers instead of potatoes. Chrissy Teigen as a great recipe for prosciutto-wrapped chicken too. 

Good luck, anon.
