Quiches?

one of the less terrifying asks I've got apropos nothing but also one of the more terrifying buffet items. what is in them. is that red pepper or chorizo. how long have they been out. maybe it would be better just not to.

idk I have eaten some v nice quiche in France back in the mists of time (several years before Ollie Bearman was born) when I worked in a bookshop in Montpellier but some flan from M&S or whatever is not the same is it.

[scenetocause]

struck by the need to know what 3 delicious meals user scenetocause is thinking about in intense detail this week

hello anon, i will try to do this without critically doxxing myself

in a sense i am constantly thinking about aubergine (eggplant? fucking stupid name it do not be looking like an egg even the pale ones) curry. it's so good but takes just that slight too much effort to make just for myself and i'm not kind enough to myself to bother. much loved flatmate isn't very moved by vegetarian food but i sometimes convince him to eat it if i add some slow cooked lamb which tbf does fuckin bang. u kno if you remove the connective tissue halfway through cooking a lamb shoulder you can grill it and make like lamb crackling? very good. actually tbf i do just like lamb. with pomegranate and coriander and mint and perhaps a bit of feta and silky dips and a fresh bread out of a stone oven and all spiced with panch puran to cook and then sour chilli paste to eat with it. pickled chillis. mmm. i didn't used to eat meat but have recently sort of started again for various reasons and one of the ways i feel like you can really respect a meat is slow cooking the shit out of it and then putting it in with some delicious spiced aubergines until everything falls apart.

i am also a big fan of and look, you can't come for me about this, i'm right and i know it, instant mashed potato. some of this is being an elderly millennial but some of the rest of it is that it just fucking slaps. you're telling me i can have mashed potato, perhaps cheesy, buttery mashed potato, in less than two minutes depending on how long the kettle is taking to boil? perfection, don't even question it. if you first make the instant mashed potato then the kettle will have cooled down enough to make the instant gravy. i fucking love to make elaborate and well spiced and complex dishes from civilised countries but i can't overlook that the uk got this one right. add sausages and peas. mustard. hot pepper sauce if you're so inclined (i am) i once actually left a social event so i could go home and eat instant mash because i'd started thinking about it and that was it, no small talk was gonna do after that is it. treat yourself better, get instant mash.

i am struggling to pick a third because there is so much food i think about. i have eaten some spectacular sandwiches in my life. some salads that i think about to this day. one time i had milk gnocchi in turin and it haunts me about how good it was despite "milk gnocchi" sounding like exactly the sort of thing i don't like. i love gazpacho. i love noodle soups. i love breakfast mcmuffins. i actually have quite a horrible relationship to food currently because of the horrors but god i love so much of it. pickled chillis. just thinking about them makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up with pure love. sometimes i spend like 20 minutes thinking about maghmour. the only thing i'm not that arsed about is pasta, which i know is a controversial take but it's just not all that for me, despite my love of noodles and dumplings. actually tbf i also don't like a lot of stodge and european/north american fried stuff is also mediocre unless it's fresh fries that are hotter than the sun and burn your mouth and they're so crispy and salty and there is good mayonnaise (bad mayonnaise dni) then it is perfect. bread and hummus and honey and olives. plov. secret and environmentally bad joy tuna and swordfish and oh fuck i love mussels and shrimp. salted caramel twix. mmm.

Bitey have a little snack...

könig was one of those very lanky kids who always ate the most insane sugar fuelled diet before starting to work out and gain muscle weight later in life.

that bulky mountain of a man still has a sweet tooth 'till this day.

SO i went secondhand book shopping and found a few forgotten realms anthologies INCLUDING the one where artemis absorbs the shade’s life essence thru the dagger (also foreshadowing the netherese stuff) (believe it’s called: ‘that curious sword’). BUT ACTUALLY the best part of it is artemis snaps at a waitress and jarlaxle literally makes him go apologize,,,, im hsjhfdzjfnzds

Jarlaxle @ a legendary assassin: do not fucking talk to our waitress like that The assassin in question: 🙄 fine

The BEST Chicken Noodle Soup

2 cups shredded or cubed chicken

2 bay leaves

Diced whole onion

2 TBSP minced garlic (or two cloves)

TSP dried thyme or 2 sprigs of fresh

1 ½ QTs Chicken stock

12 - 16 oz of egg noodles

3 finely diced celery stocks

2 large carrots (thin slice or small cubes)

TSP salt

½ TSP pepper

4 TBSP fresh chopped parsley

4 TBSP fresh chopped dill

2 TBSP olive oil

¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

In the olive oil sauté garlic, onion, celery, carrots, salt and pepper until vegetables are softened.

Add in the stock, bay leaf, lemon juice, and thyme. Simmer with lid on for 15 - 20 minutes until carrots soften.

Add chicken and noodles and cook until the noodles are ready (20 minutes is average).

Turn off heat and stir in the dill and parsley.

DO NOT SKIP THE DILL. This is what sets apart this soup from tasting bland or too fatty.

Vegetarian or vegan friendly options are to start with king oyster mushrooms (they shred just like chicken) or pre-pressed and marinated tofu. Swap out the chicken stock for vegetable stock.

Read the soup smut here I guess?

the devs giving artem some random hobby hes somehow perfect at:❌

the devs making artem go on side quests where he works at a burger joint:✅

i love this i think his next solo card should be him working at a grocery store

LOOK AT HIM. LOOK!!!!!!!!! HE'S SO POLITE!!!! he's wearing his lil cowboy boots and making SO much money in tips because he's just so polite and cute!!!!

AND ANON? ANON. YOU'RE SO ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. may i recommend a few more ideas: cashier at walmart, phone case booth employee at the mall, starbucks drive thru worker, min wage at a local mom and pop store but also he does not get paid nearly enough for the amount of responsibilities put on him bc the owners refuse to hire more than 2 ppl to run the whole store, pizza hut delivery driver

mom’s telling me about the brief time we went to church and just dropped that she actually hated the people there and because of the experience she has an aversion to christianity & I was like huh?? I thought you got baptized just in case?? & she was like no it’s because they wouldn’t stop harassing me. I met a lot of evil people in the church. I’m taking it back. & I’m like you’re un-baptizing yourself??? & she’s like yeah.

Everytime the longing hits I'm like this is what li bai must be talking abt bye 😭

This is a continuation of my previous Longjing post about wanting to punch him affectionately. Please listen to him. Hear how hard he's trying to give compliments and then gives them in the most rounadabout, emotionally constipated way possible.

The part that really cracks me up is his "praise" part. The way he spats out pleasant like it took everything out of him just to say that one word had my jaw dropping to the floor before laughing out loud. He's so insanely funny without even trying. Keep it up you funny tea man.

SIGH. This has always happened to me throughout my life, so it's not really suprising that it's happening now, nor is it particularly surprising that being ill for a bit would trigger it. But it's gone from being kind of my baseline to not surfacing for years at a time, so I am surprised. I'm otherwise getting over the Covid pretty well. ... But my internal cues that it's time to Eat a Food have gone all to fuck. So remembering that eating at regular intervals is a thing that all humans need to do, and then actually doing it, requires conscious effort and feels like near-constant work and requires energy that I don't always have (because post-Covid) but obviously, will not have, if I don't do it. It hasn't become so difficult that I'm worried or that anyone else should be. I haven't weighed myself but my clothes aren't fitting any differently and I expect to get things back under control before that happens.

It's just annoying! I am already sick of finding myself at 6pm all "Oh no why does everything feel weird and bad? ...OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE NOT A-FUCKING-GAIN *angrily eating cheese*"

i have been super into these youtube videos of a subway employee filming themselves making sandwiches during lunch rushes etc. it's strangely fascinating.

i used to work food service--in my early twenties. maybe the repetitive tasks handling food connect me to that time? idk

my tio jano and tio juan carlos are visiting from Chile. i have really enjoyed having them here with us. i've had fun taking them around to see and do things. they are both very easy going and love to laugh

today, i picked my dad up and took him to my tia's (his sister's) where we all 9 of us gathered and had a meal. it felt good being surrounded by family, like we used to do

one thing that does bother me about the subway videos is the lack of changing gloves. and everything touches everything

my family is getting together again tomorrow, but i am staying behind because i have a date! i'm excited :D

god, they slice those deli meats thin enough you can see through them
