You can indulge in as many desserts as you wish, and no one can tell you to do otherwise! What could be better? From pastries and cakes to chocolates and mousses; there is a dessert for everyone.

Research different cultures and try new desserts on this day!

History of National Dessert Day

The origin of the word dessert comes from the French “desservir,” a word which here means “to clear the table.” This, of course, referenced the dish that came after the clearing of the main dishes served as part of the meal. The earliest references to the term dessert being used are in the 1600’s and arrived at the same time as the concept of serving a meal in courses, letting each part of the meal be its own experience.

While it may seem like a no-brainer now, the idea of serving a sweet repast following the main meal wasn’t something that was always done. Those masters of decadence, the French, were known to serve a sweet wine as an aperitif, and it didn’t take long before the concept of sweet followings to the main dish became commonplace.

The birth of the sugar and honey trade helped to bolster the idea of dessert as it became easier to obtain sweeteners, though for a long time it was still known as a lush decadence reserved for the wealthy.

How to Celebrate National Dessert Day

National Dessert Day encourages us to celebrate by selecting our favorite delicacies and indulging in them, while also exploring the ever-growing number of options we have to experience in the world of sweets. There are so many to choose from cakes, pies, fried dough, chocolate, tarts, candy, jellied desserts, and pastries; it’s all about choosing how you make them and what to make, and maybe even where to make it?

Dessert can happen at home with family, or you can pick them up from your local store, and there’s always grandma’s house? The only important question on National Dessert Day is “What is your favorite dessert, and how would you like it?” Maybe there’s an old family recipe or something that the bakery down the street made fresh that morning. Whatever you decide, National Dessert Day is your opportunity to indulge in your favorite treats and maybe relive some old memories while doing so.

From rich chocolate to sweet strawberries, there are many desserts you can make on this day. How about Sticky Toffee Pudding? This is a British classic. For those that are unaware, Sticky Toffee Pudding is a delicious moist sponge cake that is made with finely chopped dates. The star of the show is, of course, the toffee sauce that is poured over the top.

If you fancy something a bit more modern, how about Green Tea-Coated Chocolate Mousse? Green tea is a massive hit in desserts at the moment. The Strawberry Cobbler is another dessert worth a mention. For something spectacular, serve it with cream cheese and warm vanilla seed custard. It is warm, comforting, and will melt in your mouth.

Or, what about Sicilian Lemon Tart? The balance between the sweetness and tartness in this dessert is spot on. We could go on, and on, and on, and on… after all, there are so many delicious and mouth-watering desserts out there! All you need to do is a quick search on the Internet and you are going to find plenty of exciting recipes to try on this day.

Another fun way to celebrate National Dessert Day is by watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. When you think of sweet treats and chocolate, this is often the first thing that comes to mind. It is a great film, and it is something that all of the family can watch. So, prepare your dessert, whether it be an ice cream sundae or a comforting apple pie, and get yourself comfortable in front of the television so that you and the family can enjoy a good movie night together. What could be better?

If you are really feeling adventurous, you may want to try making your own dessert invention on National Dessert Day. After all, the best recipes out there usually started as a bit of trial and error. Get plenty of different baking ingredients in and have fun experimenting with different flavors.

You could even turn this into a bit of a bake-off competition with your family or friends. You can all have your own ‘workstation’ and then you can try everyone’s desserts to see who is crowned the winner. It’s always fun to do something a little bit different with your loved ones, isn’t it?

Method Acting

Little! Sebastian and Caregiver! Mia

Chapter: 1/?

A/N: gahhhhh this was supposed to be a one shot, oh well I suppose.

Minor Cw! For swearing

Seb lay there, staring at the ceiling, now adorned with glow-in-the-dark stars. Courtesy of Mia, of course 

He wondered how long this baby stint would go. 

It’s been a month now

Yet his main problem was that he didn’t hate it.

For god sake, he was a 28-year-old man. He shouldn’t be allowing himself to be brought down to this. 

Its simply really

He just wanted to help his girlfriend

One night he suggested method acting 

☆ ✩ ✩ ✩ ☆ ✩

  “What, you mean like be the character? 24/7? Yeah, no.” Mia scoops a glob of cookie dough ice cream, plopping it into her bowl. Sebastian waits on the couch for her, legs crossed, arms spread. 

  “Why not? All the greats do it! Al Pachino, Robert De Niro,-” He pauses, struggling to remember more of ‘The Greats.’ “Oh,- Jared Leto! Jared Leto pretty good.”

Mia sits on the couch and hands Sebastian his bowl, she lets out a huff of a laugh.

  “Babe, 1. Jared Leto is not one of ‘The Greats.’ 2. What he does isn't method acting, it's borderline psychotic.”  She snuggles into Sebastian's side, sighing. 

Sebastian pouts, and Mia smiles.

  “M’just trying to help” he sets his head atop hers, wrapping an arm around her. 

Mia moves herself to face him

  “You know, if I was a method actor, you would have to deal with that as well, right?” She smirks, playfully wiggling in his arms. 

     “Well yeah, how else would it work?” he answered as if it was a no-brainer.

“Alright then, I’ll come home in character next casting call then,” Her tone carried a snarkiness but was lighthearted. She settles back into Sebastian’s arms, grabbing her bowl of ice cream. Sebastian picks up the remote and hit play, seeming very proud of his contribution to his girlfriend's acting repetiteur.

♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♬♩♫

Sebastian walks in, sore and defeated. Rehearsal was a complete shit show today. Kieth decided it would be a great idea to rewrite an entire song without telling anyone. So rehearsal was primarily just a screaming fest.  

He snuffles to the closest surface he can lie on, letting himself fall onto the couch. He lies face down momentarily before scrunching himself into a fetal position. 

He’s there for only a couple of minutes before Mia comes home, her energy clearly the opposite of his. 

She’s bubbling, a new script in her hand. 

  “I feel good about this one, Seb. This character just feels-” she stops, looking at the poor man curled on the couch. 

     “That's-Thats great, really it is.” Sebastian's words mostly go into the couch. He rolls up to face her, groaning loudly, offering a tired smile.

Mia coos at the man and sits down beside him, patting her lap. 

Sebastian squirms his way up to her, flopping his head on her lap. 

She hums, running a hand through his hair. 

They stay like that for a moment, basking in the quiet. 

Then Mia has an idea.

  “Hey, Seb?”

    “Hmmm?”

  “Remember what you said about method acting, how you would go along with it?” She said, ever so sweetly. 

Sebastian rolls up, facing Mia directly.

  “Can it wait till tomorrow?” He asks, pleadingly. 

    “Aw come on, Seb. I think you’ll like your part in this. You’ll barely have to lift a finger.” 

Sebastian thinks face scrunched in concentration. Mia coos, placing a playful poke in his nose.

  “Hey!” he scoffs 

    “You in or not, piano man?” she pokes at his sides, tickling him.

  “Q-quit that!” he squirms, huffs of laughter escaping him.

    “Or what?” she starts to wiggle her fingers more intensely, purposely tickling more. 

  “A-ah-ah! Stop- please, please! Ok, ok! I’m in-I’m IN! Ah ha-” Sebastian wheezes and pleads with the redhead.

    “Great!” she releases him and hops off the couch. 

  “Where you going?” Sebastian says, breath still labored.

    “The car. I bought supplies for this,” she stated plainly

“You bought supplies?”

“I need someone bigger and stronger to be able to do this for me.” 

"What're you talking about Kitt-ooooh."

Bee turned to look over her shoulder, twisting just a bit so she could keep stirring the cookie dough she and Kitty had been working on for the last half hour or so. It was almost done, the mixture blended to a near-perfect smoothness: all that was needed were the chocolate chips that the Sin had asked her shorter friend to retrieve. The key word here, of course, being shorter. The Sin hadn't thought anything of storing the chocolate on top of the cabinet above her fridge - sure, it might've been above her head, but a quick hover and grabbing it would be a no-brainer for her. Kitty, however, didn't have the luxury of wings... though didn't she have extendable arms, like Fizz? Bee thought she remembered Kitty telling her about that once or twice... "They should be up top, if you wanna just..."

She trailed off, an idea slowly creeping into her mind. Without stopping to think it through, Bee placed the bowl on the countertop and moved until she was standing behind Kitty. There was no warning before she scooped the smaller demon up into her arms, grinning as she lifted her up in the air, humming The Circle of Life as she did. "There we go!"

Chaos Cuisine - Khorne

Something I've been wondering about recently is about the cuisine and eating habit of the Chaos Daemons, because even if their main sustenance is the souls of the ones they slay/manipulate, there has to be more ways for them to gain sustenance. Even if they are spawned entities of the Warp, they are still living beings with physicality that needs to be nourished. So what do the Chaos Daemons eat on a regular basis? Let's start with the simplest one; Khorne.

As I see it (and probably a lot more of you out there), the Daemons of the Khornate persuasion are basically turbo-carnivores who sustain themselves on anything that is purely animal-based, distancing themselves from anything that is vegetable or fruit-based. It's not that they don't 'like it' (though I imagine your average Khornate WOULD in fact not enjoy it), but it's just that their meat-centric biology refuses to draw any nutrients from it. Protein and iron are the only things that can properly feed a Khornate Daemon.

Meat consumption is a no-brainer, as there is ample amounts of meat and limbs scattered across a battlefield of Khorne's making. Most of the meat that is gathered by Khornates is consumed raw, with little to no regards of actually cooking it. Their physiology, being as inhuman and supernatural as it is, does not suffer the same ailment issues as a human would from consuming raw meat. Very rarely does a Khornate actually care for meal prep and cooking meat, but there are rare occasions when a proper feast is held at the Brass Throne of Khorne, with flame-grilled meats of all sorts and sizes.

Blood, naturally, is also a staple meal for Khorne's children. Drank straight from the source, it is a quick and simple energizer for a Khornate, but it can also be refined and distilled into what is known as "skull brews", which would be a daemon's equivalent of a mulled wine, with added herbs and spices and boiled slowly over a fire to draw out the aroma and flavors.

But blood is not only consumed via simply drinking it. In fact, some Khornate "gourmands" have begun to use the blood of their enemies -- or their own kin -- to make food out of blood. Blood pancakes and blood bread is one way of doing so, baking blood into pancake batter and bread dough to give their armies a rare, but welcome introduction of carbs in their daily diet. Some even use slightly coagulated, thickened blood to simmer into stews and soups, and some even let it solidify enough to semi-hardened 'cubes' of blood, something that'd be akin to 'tofu' in the real world.

lord -- you really are going to be my untimely demise, debose. i'm not sure what i'm going to do with you, but i may have a few ideas. yeah, yeah -- i'm super susceptible to your quick wit and sweet somethings (i refuse to call them sweet nothings, because they're everything to me), we get the gist! how can i convince you that it's the least wild thing that's ever happened to me? i mean, the name thing may have thrown me for a loop; i can give you that much. but, everything else? it's a massive no-brainer. it's like -- i'm just -- look at you, babe. the chosen one is giving harry potter vibes and, while i love that, i hope you know that i happen to think you are one of the most wonderful people that exists -- and i'm the lucky one to have somehow been walking home with my heels in one hand and your hand in my other at the end of most nights. i just cackled so loudly, and it was so unflattering -- but oh my god, that is great. i am obsessed. think we can go to the next pride parade together? i can't say i've never been, but it's been literal years -- and you may have just inspired me to want to create another core memory. i don't know if this purring imagery was supposed to be spicy or not but, well, you can imagine where my brain has wandered off to. don't sue me. wait, what is a cookie dough croissant? i must know. it sounds both delicious and disgusting at the same time; jury's still out on that one, so i need you to deliver the verdict to cure my curiosity. did i say something too soon? fuck, i feel like i did. we definitely don't have to do anything rash. honestly -- if it's too much too soon, please just forget i said anything. i can get carried away, and i suppose that was one of those moments. i'm sorry, my love. i didn't mean to throw things off.

I do, glad it isn't a problem. Pink looks so good on you though...I'm biased that I wanna keep you like that forever. Taking advantage of how easy it is to make you blush is a new fave pastime of mine. I get you, being put into a box and made assumptions about is frustrating to say the least. I've been enjoying the surprised looks I've been getting when I tell them I landed you, because it feels just...wild that I'm the chosen one. Had to do a double take, 'the kitty committee' was the name of my posse I went to NYC Pride with back in my Broadway days, but yes, you surpass them and the actual kitties back at my place. That sounds like actual heaven, consider me purring and already half asleep just at the thought of it. It'll knock me out faster than this plane ride to Paris, I'm running on fumes and cookie dough croissants but I'm loving it. I see...this all makes a lot of sense. I think in the chaos that's gonna be my summer, getting to come home to you would be a godsend. Maybe...I dunno, in between Tony Awards prep next month, we can start putting feelers out and get some viewings in?

Hello To Anyone That Follows This Blog And/Or Has Been Keeping Up With This Little Story That I Abandoned For A Little While

I Feel I Should Explained Why I Kind Of Dipped From This Because It's Unfair To Leave Those Interested Unanswered And I Need To Talk About This Regardless

I'll First Start Off With That I Didn't *Intentionally* Abandon This, It Was More Like A Hiatus To Me But The Reason For That Is Because I Briefly Fell Out Of Interest In The Miser Bro Fandom For The Sole Reason That Most Fans I've Interacted With That Aren't Mutuals And Are Soley Interested In Just The Story Of The Miser Brothers And Not Rankin Bass As A Whole Are Either Inactive In The Fandom Or Really Toxic

I've Also Been Stuck On How I Wanted To Continue This Story Because I Originally Wanted It To Be An Ask Blog But I Wasn't Making Much Progress With The Story So I've Considered Removing The Ask And Interacting Part Of The Story Entirely Which Is What I'm Going To Do

Also I'll Be Changing How I Tag Posts For This Story Because I Really Don't Want Those Toxic Miser Bro Fans Interacting With My Content Anymore And Spreading Lies About Me And Putting Dirt On My Little To Non Existent Social Presence, So For Tagging I Will Be Soley Tagging My Personal Tags Unless Otherwise

TLDR - I Haven't Been Able To Focus On This Story, This Will Be Changing Regarding Both Story And Posts

Anyways, Yadda Yadda Yadda You Get The Idea, Hopefully I'll Be Able To Continue This Story In December

Oh, What a Mess

James Bond x (F) Reader

Word Count:  485 Words

Summary: Just a short little thing thanks to the december writing challenge. Prompt is... *drumroll* baking.

Triggers: None

Your apartment building’s community has been doing bake sales for years. All the profits went directly to a children’s hospital in the area. So, it was a no brainer to spend some time putting a couple dozen or two towards the sale. Which is exactly what you’re doing when Bond gets home from his latest assignment. The flat is smelling of vanilla, sugar cookies and cinnamon. 

“What do we have here?” James questions, dropping his duffel bag by the door, loosening the tie around his neck. 

“Bake sale. Every December my building hosts one for the children’s hospital downtown.” You speak, rolling dough in a cinnamon-sugar mix to start on your dozen of snickerdoodles. 

“And I’ve never witnessed this?” He questions, slowly stepping into kitchen, picking up one of the countless cookies there and taking a bite. He hums, slowly letting himself sit at the counter watching you with sharp eyes. It’s a valid question, considering that the two of you had been together nearly three years. So, he’s just not been around on the off occasion you do. 

“You’ve been busy.” A shrug leaves you as you’re placing dough on sheets and continuing the little conveyor belt you’ve got going on.

“This is true.” He’s wiping his hands of crumbs, standing upright now. “Do you need help?” James comes around to your side of the counter, watching your hands move. 

“The last time you made cookies the fire department was involved.” You scold, giving him a look. The whole apartment was flooded with smoke and the fire department was less than thrilled with the false alarm. Despite this, he’s growing eerily close to you. With your head tucked down, you’re working to finish off the last few cookies. 

“Yeah, but I’ve got a supervisor this time.” He hums as a hand rolls along the lower portion of your back, gripping your far hip and pulling you closer. Thumb rolls over your side as you finish up the batch, looking over your shoulder. 

“Oh yeah, that the case?” You hum, moving from his grip to carefully put the cookies in the oven. As you bend over to tuck the sheet into the oven, a hand is gripping your rear-end. With the oven door shut, you turn to look at the blonde, who has a wide smirk on his features. “I need to get this done, James.” You warn, as you move from the spot in front of the oven to the sink to clean out dishes, his lips attached to your neck as you’re scrubbing bowls. 

“Oh, but angel, we’ve got...” His gaze falls to the oven, “12 minutes.” A tilt of his head with amusement and far too eager eyes. 

You hand him a towel. “Good. 12 minutes to clean. Maybe while cookies cool we can heat up somewhere else.” You give him a wink and you swear you’ve never seen Bond move faster.

They'd almost decided on a different one, her and Atlas. Magnolia had been at the top of the list for awhile, they'd even started calling her it. But, Margaret had stuck in Sage's mind and had never worked its way out. It sounded nice with Ruby, even though she'd never be using the two names together, likely ever. Maggie was a no-brainer, though. The toddler had been known as Maggie, or sometimes Mags, since she came out of the womb. Both were lovely names, she knew that much, so she nodded in agreement. What else could she do, after all? The man didn't seem to be offering a chance for them to simply ignore each other and go about their nights — she couldn't help but wonder if it were a dominance thing, a letting her know that he knows kind of thing.

Whatever it was, it had Sage a little off center. Surely she would have come up with better conversation otherwise. "Oh. New York is... nice." She'd never really been to the city, though she had ventured into upstate a few times. "I would think, at least. Never been. Upstate left my Italian wife a little underwhelmed when it came to wine, though." Sage wondered if the man offered Yasemin better conversation than this? "Popcorn is a classic, you really can't go wrong with it. This one loves her cookie dough bites, though." Her fingers wiggled against Maggie's stomach teasingly, the toddler letting a laugh fall between them. "Do you... have a preference?"

@saulweissberg

the tension was oppressive. everyone around them was chatting happily, but saul felt like he was in some sort of standoff with sage. who would be the first to break? to say a rude comment? to bring up the elephant in the room? the line graciously moved a bit up ahead. thank the fucking lord. the sooner he got out of there and back to dean, the better. “that's a very lovely name.” saul responded, giving the little girl a small wave. he truly thought so, too, he wasn't just being polite. maybe if saul had made different choices in his thirties, had a daughter with his second wife like she had wanted, they would've chosen that name or something similar. there were a million what ifs in saul's life, including if he had decided on having more children, but with the strained relationship he had with his son now, it was probably for the best that he stopped at one. “i do! a son, micah. he's much older than your little lady here, though.” sometimes he had trouble believing that he had a twenty-nine year old son. sincerely, where did the time go? wasn't micah's bar mitzvah just a few years ago? how about his own, was that really forty years ago? don't get old, sage, he thought, it's only downhill from here. “he lives back in new york city.” he stalled on what to say next. what was there to say? you hurt my good friend, and now i'm going to challenge you to a duel in the drive-in concession stand line? saul exhaled noisily. “so... you a popcorn person? or do you prefer candy?” good one, weissberg.

History of National Dessert Day

The origin of the word dessert comes from the French “desservir,” a word which here means “to clear the table.” This, of course, referenced the dish that came after the clearing of the main dishes served as part of the meal. The earliest references to the term dessert being used are in the 1600’s and arrived at the same time as the concept of serving a meal in courses, letting each part of the meal be its own experience.

While it may seem like a no-brainer now, the idea of serving a sweet repast following the main meal wasn’t something that was always done. Those masters of decadence, the French, were known to serve a sweet wine as an aperitif, and it didn’t take long before the concept of sweet followings to the main dish became commonplace.

The birth of the sugar and honey trade helped to bolster the idea of dessert as it became easier to obtain sweeteners, though for a long time it was still known as a lush decadence reserved for the wealthy.
