Prompt #1,980

Write about a system learning a new recipe!

[hood-ex]

Do you know Dylan Hollis’ food videos? I know there’s a lot of head canons and comics out there about Dick’s ability and willingness to cook, but I like to think that at least one thing that would get Dick in the mood to start up an oven (no matter how exhausted and busy he’s been) is the idea of getting to try out century old recipes with Alfred. I just feel like Alfred would enjoy explaining all the weird science that goes on in baking/cooking and Dick would like seeing all the ridiculous food combos

I want Alfred to gleefully watch Dick's curiosity shift to disgust as cocoa powder and powdered sugar get mixed into a pan with a huge block of Velveeta cheese.

Dick: There's no way this is a real recipe. Did Bruce put you up to this? Did he tell you to test my observation skills? Because I thought he was done with all of that after I found the egg in my tissue box this morning.

Alfred: Master Bruce would rather crack that egg over his head than have anything to do with this recipe.

Dick: I might join him if this so-called fudge keeps looking like this.

Pro-curetember Day 24: Baking/Cooking!

I thought for this prompt, I'd post my favorite food that appears in the franchise, with a Precure that often enjoys it herself due to her friend helping out at a shop that serves it. I took my Cure Happy plush for some delicious Okonomiyaki. It's incredibly tasty, and I wish to make some more of my own at home again someday! It's incredibly delicious!

This one's vegan, but I'm wanting to do my own for even more tasty ingredients!

HETEROSEXUAL CIS-PEOPLE LOOK HERE

Snaps my fingers at you as you scroll past this post

Look at me. Listen.

I'm not the best at serious posts, but that article up there reminded me of how important it is that people like you stand up for us. So hold on while I try to get this out of my mushy end-of-work-day brain.

We could fight this fight ourselves for decades trying to reach the equal laws, gender affirming trans healthcare that doesn't have a 2-5+ soul-eating years of waiting time, medical care with equal knowledge of lgbtqia+ bodies, and, what is often forgotten, inclusion in the little everyday areas of life like our way of speaking or things being set up or designed with the existence of queer people in mind.

But you joining in could get us there so much faster.

The power you have as a hetero cis person is that you set the standard for what is seen as the average way of treating us among other hetero cis people. You have been given the power of deciding what's "normal" and I'm begging you to use it.

Richard Green is a great example of to what extent your actions can help our situation, and smaller ways of support still add up to a great impact on society, and could make the days of the queer people you interact with.

Educate yourself before you speak up, but don't be silent.

Prompt #1,751

System A wants garlic bread, but the stores are closed and all the recipes they find online only include bread they don't have. There's only one solution: create their own recipe for bootleg, homemade garlic bread.

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.
