Sooga Back Then

Sooga Island's Monster problem has only recently gone down to a reasonable level. Even 15 years ago it wasn't considered unusual for the village to have to be rebuilt twice a month.

Luckily, things have changed since then. Between new sources of food and the alliance with the local Goblins, Sooga Island is now a thriving community.

It just took some time to get there.

piece of fiction will go "hey here's this ancient dangerous otherworldly power. it will transform you to be more powerful beyond imagine and will also transform you to be something new, monstrous. you will lose who you are now but you will gain something else in return. now that you have knowledge of this power you will hunger and long for it and it will drive you insane to not have it and you will chase down this power until its within your grasp. you will become something new and terrible. you will still be you, but different. worse. powerful. but still you"

I had a friend over tonight for dinner. We've been planning this for about a month I think. We decided that we would have to get together and make pelmeni, because she is Russian and craves pelmeni. We, of course, decided to bring along the boyfriends. Because why not? Worst that can happen is we need to make them sit on special chairs at the end of the kitchen so that they don't get underfoot. My kitchen is so narrow it is functionally a hallway, and 2 people is pushing the capacity quite a lot.

So my friend arrives. I am, of course, very excited to see her. And we start making things. We start making the filling first. 30 cracks of black pepper and some salt to the meat (half pork, half beef, idk, a poundish each?). I add some allspice for fun. I think my allspice is too old to actually taste like anything. We only stop to think after mixing the meat and seasonings that we need to add the onion.

So I just assign onion-chopping and cooking to the Boyfriend, who is excellent at chopping onions and carefully browning them because he hates big chucks of onion, especially if it's raw. I ask my friend what her mom's recipe for the filling is, and she says "that's it, it's basically just meat and onion." We aren't sure about cooking the onion, we do it anyways. I let her boyfriend inspect my kimchi while Onion Caramelization takes place.

I ask my friend what her mom's dough recipe is. My friend is not going anywhere near making the dough tonight, since she doesn't want to mess it up. No matter, I'm the dough grand master. I am given "my mom says 1 egg and ice water. Oh, and put salt in the water." So I just make dough until I think I have enough. I do not, but we do not know this at the time. The dough is kneaded, we let it rest, and onward to rolling and filling.

We bought a plastic tablecloth to go over the dining room table, and now it's show time! Filling the pelmeni! I, of course, am not too bad at this. Yes, I have only done this once before in my life, but I am the dough master. Russian friend's boyfriend is surprisingly good at the dumpling filling part. This makes sense, he makes dumplings with his Korean grandmother occasionally. We ran out of dough, so I put him to work making new dough. And I get him to knead it for me, mwahahaha!

Sometime before we decide that we need a second batch of dough, we eat the pelmeni. A quick flurry of activity to clean and clear my coffee table into a dining table cause the real table has pelmeni bits on it. I steal the couch cushions and put them on the floor. Bam. Comfy seating. We get to eating. The pelmeni are delicious, especially with the small bit of butter each plate was topped with. There is a variety of seasonings and a simple soy sauce-vinegar dipping sauce. There is sour cream and dried dill. The pelmeni are delicious of course, no raw onion to be found.

I remembered the kimchi, and I get some out for my friend's boyfriend. It's amazing with the pelmeni, although my poor Russian friend has no spice tolerance and almost dies. My Boyfriend dislikes the smell and finds it very unpleasant. That doesn't matter, we're adding it to the next batch of dumplings anyways. I can't wait to try them. Oh and we made jam and fruit dumplings, that was nice.

We had a nice silver needle afterwards (lovely thick mouthfeel and violet candy notes) and plotted tea shop raids and Russian Friend's abduction after a ballroom dance competition.

and the teachers! the mentors who are so proud to see their students compete on the same level as them. and the students who are so excited to share what they’ve learned what they’ve improved and eager to receive feedback from the people who taught them so much, the mutual respect is quite literally chefs kiss
