5 Happy Things

Tues, Oct 1, 2024

My mom made a typo! Usually it's me who makes them and I just thought it was so cute and charming of my perfect and super cool mom to make a lil mistake that I often do. Made me feel like "haha, she really is my mom"

Bought some osmantheus oolong tea and brooooo it is so insanely good. It was bagged and like $14/8 bags (equal to the cost of the groceries I was buying TT) but so worth it. The scent is really so lovely and distinct and the first steep barely had to be in there to be super fragrant and refreshing, and the second steep is a bit more astringent but rounds really nicely on the tongue and the smell stays really well

My water filter is working :D

Had zero problems doing the things I usually do! Putting on clothes, getting out of bed, going to class! Yay!

Did not blank out on my math test today and definitely passed!!

Salt Lake Chinatown, 3370 S State St, Salt Lake City, UT 84115

I saw pictures of the large Chinese gate and thought that Salt Lake City had a Chinatown. The SLC Chinatown is one shopping center (part of it is still under construction) with Chinese/Asian eateries and the Chinatown Supermarket. While most of the restaurants are Chinese, there are a lot of Korean restaurants as well.

It doesn’t feel like a real Chinatown since it’s a new mall but it is nice to see an Asian shopping center with Meet Fresh, 85C Bakery, Tiger Sugar, etc. And the Chinatown Supermarket had a good selection of products, more than I expected. You can get hot pot, dim sum, Lanzhou noodles, and more from the restaurants. Sweet & Cool has self-serve froyo, bingsoo, and boba drinks.

You can try your skills at one of the many claw machines.

I have some general anxiety about going to supermarkets aimed at specific cultures because the intended clientele is not lil white me and the staff often don't speak english and I feel inappropriate. But not once has this been true, and I've always enjoyed my visit. Anyway, that's a preface so you can appreciate how brave I am

My colleague recently made me lahpet which is a Burmese salad including pickled tea leaves, dried beans mix, and tomatoes. I loved it and wanted more. I live in a densely Chinese area and thought one of the many supermarkets might have something Burmese, so I brought the empty jar to every store.

Many don't speak english, but that's fine. I had a jar! All interactions basically went like this;

None of them knew Burmese so couldn't even tell me if they had something similar

I gave up and bought it online. Also had a hard time with that cos they don't deliver to apartments (got the vibe that it's just the shop owners son doing deliveries and he couldn't be fucked going upstairs. Valid). But I persevered and got three jars! And the dried beans mix I needed. Way too many dried beans, I totally misjudged the size of the bag being sold

I used one to show my friends this salad. They didn't go as insane over it as I did. I gave another jar to my dad who did go appropriately insane. He said he liked it, then five min later interrupted to say he really liked it, then after dinner spent time with me going through the ingredients and trying to figure out if he can pickle tea leaves himself. Booyah.

Regardless, this left me with one jar which I swiftly finished. So I'm on the hunt again and the online store stresses me out now cos they don't like apartments

I found a Burmese supermarket a few suburbs away and a twenty min walk from the station. Fucking worth it, it's added two hours to my commute home but I want these jars so much. I enjoyed the stroll. It rained a bit, so I saw a couple rainbows

In the store I was, again, immediately stressed. I went down an aisle and back again and found nothing. I found other pickled things! But not my tea leaves! I did not want this trip to be in vain, it was long and I had a shit day at work. I was really only doing it today cos the days a write off as a bad day so I may as well run an annoying errand

Anyway I pulled up the website and showed the lady at the counter a photo of the jar and she pointed me to them immediately. I returned like fifteen seconds later with four jars and she was already on a phone call with someone. I love workers rights. You're awesome, lady.

So I say four and hold four fingers up and pass her one jar. She scans and sets the price right. She then interrupts whoever's talking on the phone to ask me, "How you know this?"

So I quickly explained that my colleague made me the salad and I loved it. She pointed back at the aisle and said, "the beans, you need beans." So I was like "I have so many beans, I bought too many, I just need the pickled leaves." And she was already waving her hand at me in disinterest so I stopped talking and paid lol.

It was a long haul home. I passed and remember to take a photo of my favourite art installation, the tower of coffee cups in a pole.

There's no starbucks in my suburb so one of these at least has taken a long trip to get here. So did I today, my feet are sore

Anyway, I have four jars of miraculous pickled tea leaves. If you can figure out how to buy these ingredients I recommend it to serve alongside very fatty meals like lasagne or sausage cos it cuts through nicely. I also take a serving to work every day because the tea leaves are caffeinated so I'm skipping the second coffee

I love lahpet

Jun going to the Asian mart + his s/o going to *their* ethnic mart trading tips on which brand is best for this product and which flavor is better 🥹 Jun gives me such “food is love” vibes every time he mentions food or cooks for the members.

CRYING AND SOBBING. THIS IS PURE SWEETNESS, hope i did a little bit of justice with this.

Jun loves language is food is my new fav thing ever. i feel he looks forward to your moment to go food shopping together. he would be so giggling and smiling when you first ask him to recommend you something to cook. UGH he was so ready with so many recs on chinese meals that you two started spending your whole afternoon in various supermarkets to find all of the ingredients needed. i feel you two would end up eating together ALWAYS, no matter when where, or what, no matter if you lived together or not. moving around supermarkets, checking every single thing, exchanging looks without even the need to talk ("that one is better!" or "i already have it at home, we bought it together the last time"). you + jun + supermarket would become the best trio ever. and how happy he would be to eat with you the food that he recommended (bonus if he's the one cooking for you) !!! if we focus on when you first bring out smting about ur food tradition he would start SMILING so hard, his big brown eyes would be so full of happiness and would stop everything he was doing to listen to you. that man would start taking notes on which food you rec, which brand of ingredients to use, and all of your secret tips. (imagine his notes full of your recs and pics of you pointing at specific ingredients to use for them (≧▽≦)). and the next step would be to mix your traditions, experimenting together in the kitchen and creating new meals DKJSNALJN

Blame Yana T’s rendition of Full English Breakfast on Chapter 212 that I suddenly craved for it.

Apologies if you are a vegan bc of the meat assault.

How to make your own full English breakfast fast with your combination :

The basic idea would be like this. “There is no fixed menu or set of ingredients for a full breakfast.”

Mine goes something like this: assorted small sausages, hash browns, baked beans in tomato sauce, fried/grilled tomato slices, fried/grilled mushrooms, eggs, toasted bread. Paired with orange juice and tea.

You need sausages, different varieties. If you only have the Frankfurter, that’s fine too. Cut them in half and fry them. I love hash browns so I reheat them in the oven. It is safe to say that I didn’t prepare anything here, but just fry them after purchasing them from the supermarket. There is a British shop here but I didn’t like their sausages so Austrian it is. Choose huge tomatoes for frying after you cut them in slices. I love mushrooms too. After cleaning them by removing the outer layer (don’t soak them in water !) and fry both sides. Baked beans in tomato sauce can either be bought or cooked. It is your choice. There is one by Heinz, but I prefer the Austrian product, bc it is cheaper and organic. Calculate how much baked beans you would eat, I use my Chinese small bowl. Microwave it. The crowning glory is the sunny side up eggs 🍳!! And there you go. I love some toasted bread with butter so yes, bring them on. All in all I spent 15 euros for this and I didn’t get to finish all of the ingredients.

I ate full English breakfast in London and Edinburgh but the best I had was in Prague. It was in a clandestine street in the inner district where no one would notice that it was a coffeehouse but once you entered inside, it was so spacious, full of living plants and the owner was playing blues. So it was good. It is a full meal for a day bc of how heavy it is. Others have sworn of its dietary integrity.

Of course you can also make it vegan. There are sausages based on other ingredients like beans, but like always it is up to you.

pov: you're doing grocery shopping with seventeen - maknae line

∘.∙°. masterlist Warnings: mentions of food, alcohol, public affection

A/N: For legal reasons, some of this is a joke. I don't mean to undermine any of the members, so please don't misread my writing :)

mingyu Efficient. Knows what he needs to buy before entering the store, but is also flexible in changing his shopping list or meal plan if the store doesn't stock certain items. Is not afraid to ask store clerks where certain items are. Ends up inadvertently flirting with the aunties, and it takes a foreign hand on his bicep for him to quickly say his goodbyes and run back to you, whining and burying his face into your neck. Wine is a must-add to the cart. There's often a request from Seungcheol for a certain snack. Mingyu is reluctant in gratifying his hyung, and that reluctance quickly transforms into jealousy when you drop the requested item into the basket with indifference. Definitely needs you to hold his hand and stroke his hair for the next five minutes before the jealousy can dissipate.

the8 LIkes to shop at Chinese grocery stores as much as possible, since his culinary range is probably largely Chinese. You can often find this man in the tea section, browsing new leaves for his next tea ceremony and meditation session. There'll most likely be a mala-flavoured item that ends up in the cart. Enjoys introducing you to all the different spices frequently used in northern Chinese cooking and giggles at your cute pronunciation of their names. Also enjoys making conversation with the grandpas that compliment your relationship and- wait, is that Jun? You don't recall being told that he was going to be here. Oh, and now you're being sidelined and thirdwheeled as Jun drags Minghao to check out the newest instant ramen on offer.

dk Giggles, blushes and twirls his hair around his finger every five seconds because, omg, you're out buying groceries with him - how domestic! Absolutely adores taking photos of you doing literally whatever at the store - looking at items, picking items up, eating samples, pushing the cart - he's capturing it all. Tries so hard to control himself when seeing you strolling down the aisles in his oversized hoodie, but fails miserably as his lips make contact with your cheek. As our resident ray of sunshine, this man will buy food based on how cute the packaging is. I'm talking bright colours, funky fonts, and baby animal mascots. Will also choose the odd-shaped fruits and vegetables because they're "quirky" and he feels a little sorry for them.

seungkwan Is an absolute sweetheart to all of the elderly ladies slowly pushing their carts through the store. Makes conversation with them and helps them pick items off shelves that are too high for them. Also is super sweet to the children, complimenting them and playing with them. He's always closely inspecting the health foods on offer, but looks forward to seeing the pastries from the bakery next door to the supermarket. When you offer to buy him some, he adamantly refuses, makes the excuse that he was just browsing and then complains about his diet under his breath. The excitement lit across his face when trying the weekly cookie menu is something that you'll never get sick of, and you make sure to bring him grocery shopping more often.

vernon What is Chwe Hansol doing in the grocery store with you? Honestly, he's asking himself that too because this man has zero experience. The assistance he attempts to provide is based on information from the internet, and I'm talking about WikiHow articles on buying bread. Uses logic to the best of his abilities, helping to choose items based on price point. However, logic doesn't get him very far when you're asking him which brand would taste the best. Will internally freak out if you leave him in the queue to grab something, and will need a breather when you return to the line with the loaf of bread that you forgot. Always has music on, so you'll need to give him a good shake of his shoulder to grab his attention.

dino Our maknae can cook, but that doesn't translate into having sense regarding grocery shopping. If he can't track you down amongst the aisles, there's a high chance of him calling another member for help. Particularly, he'll likely call a 95-line hyung with the expectation of them fulfilling their hyung role. Alas, I'm not entirely sure if Seungcheol, Jeonghan or Joshua knows whether a three-dollar cucumber is a bargain or not. Is extremely confused when you're walking around slapping watermelons like Seungcheol would his ass amidst dance practice. Honestly, just very confused but also very curious and willing to learn lots on how to select the freshest produce so that he can impress you with a tasty homemade dish one day.

缘分 (yuán fen)

pairing: jungkook x reader

soulmate au tiny thoughts/ headcanons

my new favorite chinese word is 缘分 (ping yin: yuánfen) which is the belief that destiny or fate plays a part in bringing two lovers together, or that a relationship is predestined to happen. and i think it’s so cute :(

so now i’m thinking jungkook soulmate au- possibly red string of fate type of story

☆ where jungkook works as a personal trainer, probably at some well known gym within the area. the pay had always been decent, enough for him to get by, and he got to do one of his many life’s passions so he’d never had a reason to complain

☆ the first time he meets you is in a convenience store, way past midnight because he had a client that had left late and barely anything for an overdue dinner, so he finds himself stumbling into the corner shop by his apartment

☆ he’d think nothing of the first meeting, a quick exchange; a few pleasantries and a polite smile. maybe the off thought, a meager worry that you’re working so late with no one to help you, and a wary walk home after your shift

☆ obviously he’d never expected to meet you again, especially not restocking cereal in the supermarket. your eyes would light up with recognition and he thinks his own must have done the same. galaxies reflecting in both your eyes, constellations that belonged to one another or fractions of stars whose hands were reaching out to be reunited

☆ the both of you would laugh about the second chance encounter. exchanging names, small talk about jobs, (you had 2 though were thinking of getting a third), and he found it endearing how much interest you had in his own life, genuine curiosity.

☆ and maybe that’s when he starts to think that maybe this was destiny, or the stars in the universe had aligned in such a way that surely your paths must meet at multiple crossroads, mapped out with fine ink that brought the two of you back together

☆ and maybe that’s why he doesn’t feel as bad for not asking for a way to contact you. because the smallest part of him believed that if it really were destined, surely you’d meet by chance again

☆ that doesn’t mean that jungkook doesn’t doesn’t play with what’s written in the stars. he starts walking home that little bit later, occasionally taking the alleyway towards the convenience store he’d first met you in hopes of catching a glimpse of you. activating reality squashing his dreams as you never seem to be working when he walks by anymore

☆ maybe a month later he sees you again. the moon barely visible behind the clouds, and a nice summer breeze tickling the bare skin of his arms when he sees you

☆ sat outside that very same convenience store, ice cream near melting as you kick your feet against the gravel path, shoes a little beaten up and eyes fighting to stay open.

☆ “jungkook?” you’d look up at him from where you’re sat, and he’d smile.

☆ and this time he took it as a sign to try and start something with you. either it be love or friendship, he would let destiny write the rest of your story for him

little learning time: adjectives

Welcome back, everyone! Are you sitting all comfy and cosy?

Today we're going to learn all about adjectives! Adjectives are really fun words. Do you know why? It's because adjectives are describing words! They describe a noun.

Can you remember what nouns are? That's right, they're things like objects or people or places! And adjectives have a super important job because they help us to know what those objects or people or places are like. If you're making up your own little stories, they can really help you to share the pretty pictures in your head with your grown ups and friends, and they make your sentences much more interesting!

If you say Lily sat on her bottom, we know what Lily is doing, don't we? But if we say Lily sat on her stinky bottom, we find out lots more about Lily's bottom with just one extra word! That extra word is the adjective.

Colours are almost always adjectives! So if you see a sentence like Katie's nappy is yellow, or Katie wears a green bib, you can pick out the adjectives straight away. The same is true about sizes - if we say that Katie did a big wee-wee in her little potty, you know that big and little are the adjectives, don't you? Which one do you think fits you better? Would your mummy agree?

But did you know that when we use more than one adjective to describe the same noun, we have to use them in a certain order? We can't say that Lily and Katie have a pink big dolls' house to play with. We have to say that it's a big pink dolls' house.

The adjective that goes first is any adjective that reflects an opinion! So if we wanted to say that Lily has an adorable nappy - and all little ones in nappies are adorable - the adjective adorable would come before any others we were using.

After that would be any adjectives talking about size! So if we carry on with the same example, we could say that Lily has an adorable big nappy.

Next are adjectives about other physical qualities. Can you think of any? Let's say that Lily has an adorable big thick nappy. They're always the best ones to put on little bottoms — less leaks to deal with!

Then we get to adjectives about shape! This time, we could add that Lily has an adorable big thick round nappy.

Next comes age! We can say that Lily has an adorable big thick round old nappy. Old nappies are yucky, aren't they? Or do you secretly quite like squishing around in yours? It's ok, I won't tell!

After that is colour! Shall we be sneaky and steal the same one we used earlier? I think we should. So now we know that Lily has an adorable big thick round old yellow nappy.

Now we get to origin! These are adjectives talking about where something comes from, and they often relate to specific countries. English or French or Chinese are some examples! But Lily's Mummy doesn't buy her nappies from France or China, does she? I think Lily has an adorable big thick round old yellow supermarket nappy.

Then we talk about materials, which means what something is made from. Nappies can be made from a few different things! Lily isn't in reusable nappies, though, because her Mummy thinks she wets too heavily. So Lily has an adorable big thick round old yellow supermarket plastic nappy.

Next comes type! If a noun comes in different varieties, this is where we specify which variety this particular noun belongs to. For example, eggs can be free-range or battery. Let's say that Lily has an adorable big thick round old yellow supermarket plastic newborn nappy.

And finally, last but not least, there's purpose! This tells you about what a noun is for, as in a frying pan or shopping trolley. But we all know what Lily's nappy is for, don't we? Just look at it! It's all yellow and soggy and saggy. It's working super hard at doing its job and keeping Lily's tinkles and stinkies all contained. And how do we know all that? Because we used adjectives!

Of course we don't use all those adjectives every time, do we? That would be silly, and all our sentences would be super long! But they follow the same order, whichever ones you use. Otherwise you'll find your sentences sound a little bit weird. If we say Katie has a yellow adorable old nappy, it doesn't feel right, does it?

Why don't you see if you can pick out two adjectives to add into each of the following sentences? Make sure you get them in the right order!

Katie has a bib.

Lily loves her bottle.

Katie and Lily share a nursery.

Katie likes Lily's dress.

Sometimes Katie reads books.

Lily always wears nappies.

Katie is allowed to wear pull ups.

Mummy bought Katie a potty.

Katie had an accident.

Lily likes her onesie.

Did Katie and Lily help you learn about adjectives? Why don't you share some of your sentences?

I'm currently unmotivated to write anything long and especially after the devs did us so dirty for the PVE announcement so here are some headcanons, imagines- whatever you want to call this to comfort me from the fact we're not getting the PVE we were promised 4 years ago

Overwatch crews

Slumber party whenever a mission is accomplished. Don't matter if everyone's weary as hell, with Lena and Hana running around you are sure to get yourself a slumber party every month. If said mission isn't a success though, it's more of  a chill hangout with the members of the team Hana, Satya and Angela will bring your ass to a shopping spree. Whether you like it or not so be prepared because with them, you're gonna spend the whole day out there. Honestly though, if you don't like it Lena, Fareeha and Brigitte are by the arcades or the sport terrain near the shopping alley. So whenever you feel like it, you can go there to play with them There’s another tradition going around, twice a month, a member of the team cooks for the rest of the crew. It started with Mei, Aleksandra and you talking about your culture’s food. Mei offered to cook for you two to taste Chinese cuisine which you gladly accepted. In return, you two would also cook your culture’s food. With time passing by, other members joined the tradition and now, Echo chooses who would cook for this month’s tasting food session It turned into a competition when Lena decided to vote for the best month’s food Mei, Ana and Brigitte for the moment are on the podium sharing the first place Lena and Hana have zero points. Lena almost burnt the kitchen once. Luckily, you were there to put out the fire She doesn’t have the patience to wait for things to cook For Hana, ever since she entered MEKA, she didn’t have the time to prepare food. The best she could do is boil water and put it on her noodles. Though, ever since she joined Overwatch, she has had a little bit more time so she takes lessons from Mei and Brigitte. Lena watches but never fully join because else, it’ll turn into a mess Every week, Vivian holds a shooting session training. The best shooter of the week gets a gift from her and is exempted from chores for the week Ana has been exempted from participating in this shooting session ever since she won five times in a row

Talon crews

Olivia doesn't stop her pranks, so either you decide to team up with her to prank the others or you go against her. If you prank her, she will at least remind you this once a  week. "Amigo/amiga, how could you do this to your best friend in the world?" sighs dramatically while placing an arm on her forehead "Can you believe this? My best friend, betraying me..." Or "oh no, the betrayal. Who could have foreseen  such an event?" Amelie is more often than not the victim of Olivia's pranks. It's gotten so bad one time Olivia and you couldn't set a foot near the base or she would snipe you from afar She's "kind" Enough to not use real bullets but let's say you had bruises for the following weeks Moira is a target you two don't prank because you've been under her wrath and let's just say, it's not pleasant at all Olivia does try to get all of you to enjoy some vacation time. She does separate Amelie and  Moira, because she knows Amelie is showing more and more emotions and she doesn't want her to return to that cold emotionless assassin Talon turned her into. So for her sake, she keeps Moira away from her When Olivia, Amelie and yourself are out for a mission or a vacation, Amelie will make sure to make at least one comment on the food. She grew up with the finest food so she knows what good food is or not. You once bought her a baguette from a supermarket, she did not appreciate it. She could have stopped if not for  Olivia's intervention "It's just a baguette, how bad can it be?" And that's how you all three didn't get any sleep because of Amelie's monologue on baguette Olivia is a lot more laid back so she takes you sightseeing and if she trusts you enough, she takes you to her hometown. She even lets you meet up with Baptiste.

No-faction Ladies

Kiriko

Kiriko is dragging your ass across the city and showing you the finest spots If you're dating, it's one of your monthly dates to walk around the city and discover new paths or stands/shops. Even if she knows her city like the back of her hand, she's still pleased you're enjoying showing her shops you like She also practices her kunai throwing with you. It’s a lot of fun for her to see you mess up so many times. Although, you get closer to the target with each training session and she holds great pride in seeing your progress She trusts you enough after some time spent together, as well as some missions done together, to show you the group in which she belongs: The Yōkai You spend some fun times with them and seeing as they all have some masks, you decided to craft one for Kiriko. Of course, it’s a fox one. Kiriko loves it so much she doesn’t wear it, in fear she breaks it but she places it in her apartment.

Junker Queen

Odessa doesn't get out of Junkertown a lot, if not at all since she got her Junker Queen title. So if you're travelling fairly often, you give her pictures of your travels. "Oi! You should take me out here, sounds lots of fun!" "I tried, you say you were too busy ruling things around here." "Ey, doesn't mean I can't get to travel from time to time with me partner." Every time you come back from your travels, whether it is for business or for yourself, you always tell how you trip went down. Of course, with pictures to accompany your story. Odessa finds it easier to follow if she has pictures in front of her

Ashe

Liz loves to experiment with her outfits, if you have any good idea she’s going to bring it to life. If one of your ideas doesn’t please her, she’s going to give you interesting feedback. She is a firm believer in constructive criticism She often asks BOB to watch over you when she’s gone for a heist but sometimes, it does seem like you’re the babysitter You teach BOB about some customs he might not have been aware of. It’s a lot of fun watching him learn new things

ps: i still have a lot of asks from the 700 celebration event, I'll try to get to it as soon as i am a little bit more free

Great Wall Supermarket, 5665 Rosemead Blvd, Ste 100, Temple City, CA 91780

Great Wall (GW) Supermarket took over the Kmart space. The market feels huge, but it does lack a deli/freshly prepared food and in-store bakery. However, it has everything else you’d expect from a Chinese supermarket, including an extensive seafood department with live seafood and fish cleaning service, a wide variety of Asian vegetables, housewares, toiletries, and lots of interesting snacks. The tofu from a local vendor was still warm. The produce prices were pretty good.

Like other Asian markets, the veggies are sold in plastic packages (i.e., you can’t pick and choose).

There were a few stalls at the front of the store, most of which were empty. There was a travel agency.

My picks:

Lay’s Mala hot pot chips

Kabocha ($0.50/lb)

Charcoal toast ($2.99)

The shop was clean and had a security guard at the entrance.

4 out of 5 stars.

Here's what I want you to do.

I want you to figure out a carb you really enjoy. Then, I want you to find the best possible way to make that carb. You like white bread? Get some bread flour and figure out a lovely no knead recipe. You like rice? Heck, get a ten pound bag of the best rice you can afford at the local Asian supermarket, figure out how to get it nice and fluffy, find the aromatics you can afford and incorporate them. If you prefer potatoes, maybe you like them sauteed in butter, or baked with the peel on and then covered in cheese. Maybe you only really like the sourdough whole wheat they have at the local bakery that you can't afford every day, but sometimes you do.

Then I want, no, need you to figure out a lovely protein you vibe with. You can get some lovely seitan to marinate (nothing fancy, just oil with some spices and a bit of lemon juice). Maybe the local butcher is having a sale and you can get some chicken legs or even a nice cut of lamb. Are there any Turkish shops nearby or maybe a Maroccan or Chinese butcher? Amazing. Try what they have. You can figure out how to properly press tofu that was frozen and then thawed, so it really absorbs all the flavour you put into it.

Whatever it is, you're going to roast that protein with some fat and aromatics until it's at a safe temperature. Don't have an oven? Doesn't matter, braise it. You can add stock or wine, or just water if this week's tight. As long as there's some fat and salt in there, you just gotta add the right amount of heat.

Next you're gonna get the nice vegetables that are on sale at the supermarket or farmer's market. Don't get anything expensive, in fact the cheaper the more local and in season it probably is, just get something that looks juicy. Either figure out how to add the best dressing to that you can find, or cook it down with some salt and pepper, add some oil, I'm sure you have it down by now. God, just now I'm thinking of some braised green pumpkin, topped with some nice caramelised or pickled onions. Oh the joy of quick pickled veggies!

When you've completed these quests I want you to find a nice spot to sit down and get yourself the biggest plate you can find. You're going to want some company. You can get someone you love to join you, but sometimes you just want to think things through while you eat - I come up with some of my best ideas by eating in silence. You can watch a show or prop up a book and read. Sometimes I just listen to babble on the radio.

What you're going to do is forget any and all health advice you were ever given, you're not going to even spare a thought to calories or weight or proportions; I want you to pile that plate as high as you can. Maybe you only want three bites today! That's fine, and if you want two helpings an hour later you can go nuts. Maybe you want an entire roast chicken to yourself tonight and nothing can stop you.

Food is so amazing, you guys. Having the ability to taste food and be creative with it, learn a new skill, develop a palate and enjoy what you put together with love and attention is so wonderful. There's so much to discover out there!

Oh, and get a nice snack for while you're cooking. I like pitted kalamata olives or slices of cheese.

I love you!
