#Cooking with Mono

This in on: Cooking With Mono

I made some weird ass chicken wings/legs, but they taste really good.

I didn't bread them, I made a concoction of Butter, Onion Powder, Garlic Salt, and Italian Herb mix and spread half of it on them after they defrosted in the oven for about five minutes. The other half was put on when I flipped them in the oven.

I paired it with Cholula Sauce recommended to me by @chumpovodir !

So, the first week of Tsukutabe season 2 is behind us!! 4 new episodes out, and I'm just so delighted to have them on screen again, both with the old charm and warmth, and a fresh feeling of novelty. Not just with the new characters - it really feels as if the whole series has gotten an upgrade. New locations, more fluid and fancy editing with the new opening sequence. Plus, Sayama got a haircut! I also really loved the throwback to the very first episode of Nomoto speaking to the wall in a dramatic fashion. It really gives the impression of "We're back!!"!

Speaking of Sayama, I love that she was kept around as a character, despite her not being in the original manga. It's nice to have her carry over from season 1 and be a buddy to Nomoto after she's already made such a big impact on her and been so supportive of her journey before. And also, she's just a fun character :D I am curious however how much she and Yako will both help Nomoto with her self-discovery - in the manga, Nomoto has no friends except for Kasuga and then Yako (& Sena), so all of her talking about her sexuality is with Yako, who is a lesbian herself, versus now all these talks about love and dating have been with Sayama, who is straight. I'm curious to see what they do with all of that.

The biggest new thing so far has been the introduction of new character Nagumo Sena, the middle neighbor! And I'm seriously so happy with what they've done with her in these 3 episodes she's been in now. She's exactly as quiet, awkward, and nervous as I imagined her to be, without it feeling over the top or cringey. She's just an anxious kid, but I feel that she's really gonna open up. Her 1on1 interactions with Kasuga are cute, and awkward too, the two of them are just both so alike and quiet that it made me chuckle a bit. Still, Kasuga immediately gives off the feeling of wanting to take care of her too, and it's gonna be really nice watching them become friends.

On a smaller scale, obviously we're gonna be putting our two mains through the ringer again. Nomoto is already going through it, giving her personal journey more and more thought as she delves deeper into lesbian culture (I guess?). Watching movies (and crying about it, she is so me), connecting with others on social media, and seriously thinking about her feelings for Kasuga and how far they go. Similarily, Kasuga is (probably? hopefully?) gonna have her own big story arc this season, some of which has already been teased for next week. I'm so excited for that to play out and see how they adapt it.

It's also nice to see the two of them in slightly new formations. With new characters joining the gang and with their relationship becoming tighter and tighter, now they speak in unison more often, spur each other on, talk honestly to each other... and stand shoulder to shoulder, a shot that we haven't seen much yet but that I just love!! (height difference...)

I'm so glad the show is back and better than ever. The girls are cooking. Literally. And also falling in love of course.

As much as I love the fact how fast I can draw now compared to like last year, I've kind of been not that satisfied of my art lately, not in the way it's bad no I love my art, I love what I can do, I'm proud of how far I've gotten with it within just a year. But I recently noticed I've been more focused on how fast can I draw and finish them, instead of actually taking my time and putting more effort into the pieces, and making quality drawings that make my little brain more happy with them.

So I might actually slow down with making a lot of art? I want to start putting actual effort into my drawings now, quality instead of quantity, I think that will make me more satisficed with my art

Ive mentioned before how Mono has an.... we'll say, interesting relationship with food things. He's food descriptions are about as concise as his table manners - a grain thing, a meat thing, some sort of paste. Sweet goo, stuff like that.

If the Thin Man gave him a warm muffin, his first instinct would be 'hug', because it's warm and soft, and who wouldn't hug a toasty, warm thing?

ᵗʰᶦˢ ᶦˢ ᵗʰᵉ ˢᵃᵐᵉ ˡᵃᵈ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᶜˡᶦᵐᵇᵉᵈ ᶦⁿᵗᵒ ᵃ ᵐᵘᵍ ᵇʳᵒʷⁿᶦᵉ [here]

And he pretty much shovels everything into his mouth as quickly as he can, since he might have to bolt in the next second. There's no telling if he'll get the chance to eat again. The whole 'meal time' for kids is always chaotic.

Then there's the whole process of food 'concoctions', such as grain things and pasta bits - this is all hard stuff. But Mono has learned at last if you put this stuff into something like fluids (or random liquid condiments when rain isn't available), it will soften enough he can slurp it up.

Everything is pretty much repulsive, but as long as its edible and safe to consume, and doesn't kill him, it's all good.

Ok, so the cheesecake had finished about two hours ago- (Mono that recipe called for like, thirty minutes) It's called I fucked up multiple times on it. But it is done, and it smells so good

Anyways, I ate some dinner, and then it's time for the next thing!

Hopscotch!

Hopscotch is a recipe that's been in my family for generations, but I don't remember which side.

Essentially, it calls for four ingredients!

Butterscotch chips

Peanut butter

The dried Chow Mein (think like, La Choy)

Marshmallows

Measurements are measured by the heart, but I personally use about a 1 1/2 cup of the butterscotch chips and 2 cups of peanut butter and melt that on a double boiler.

As that's melting (the butterscotch has a much higher melting point), take 2 cups of Chow Mein and marshmallows in another bowl.

Once the butterscotch and PB are melted and mixed together, let it cool down a little, and then mix it with the bowl of Chow Mein and Marshmallows (it's very important that the mixture is cooled, but warm enough to only kinda melt the Marshmallows)

Once that mixture is mixed together pretty well, take some wax paper (or whatever you use to keep it from sticking to the tray) and spoon it out in little piles on the tray! Set it in the fridge to cool down and set, and then enjoy!!

First off: Favorite Heathers song? Mine's either Out Love Is God or Big Fun

Second: Ever thought of a Heather AU? I mean, I'm sure we can guess who Chandler is-

1 - I can't choose but it's between Meant to be yours, Beautiful, or Dead Girl Walking
