(Repost) Naruto/Boruto Headcanon: Chocolate Flavored Potato Chips, The Marriage of Karui & Chouji pt. 6- THE NIGHT CONTINUES
As the meal is served, Karui and Chouji’s table gets to eat first. Followed by the groomsmen/bridesmaids' table along with Naruto’s since he won the UNO game tournament.
Sasuke looked around him to see many people infatuated with the high-quality beef like they hadn’t eaten in years.
“THIS IS SO DELICIOUS! I NEED THE RECIPE NOW!! I NEED TO ASK KILLER BEE ABOUT IT!!!’’ smiled Naruto as he added another piece of beef into his already full mouth. Karin and Suigetsu appeared to have put their difference aside to joyfully share a meal together. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at it.
His vision was obstructed by Shisui stuffing his face with everything on the table. He was grilling his deep-fried dough, dipping it in the soup, and eating his sauce. As messy his cousin eating was, Sasuke couldn’t judge too much because he had no clue how to eat most of those meal as well but compared to Itachi he appeared completely off track. His brother looked like he knew what he was doing.
“Sheesh, this is some good food! Rin we better get on this.” Obito commented mouth open to the amusement of Madara who always gets a good laugh out of him being enthusiastic about anything. Meanwhile, the big-haired Uchiha was too busy soliciting waitresses every 5 minutes for whatever reason.
Sakura caught herself eating way more deep-fried dough balls, than she intended.
“I’m definitely gaining some inches to my waist tonight’’ She sighed. “It will probably go to my chest’’ she ironically thought. Next to her, Hinata was hesitantly picking her spoon in the various sauces and side dishes. Sakura took notice and reassured her;
“Don’t worry Hinata, it’s nice to try different things sometimes’’ she smiled. The kind words allowed her to relax a little.
“You need to try more dishes!’’ exclaimed Hanabi who rose from her place to support Sakura. Quickly, she handed her a bowl of spinach sauce with cassava rice “Taste that! It’s delicious!’’.
Temari frowned as she sniffed one of the bowls of sauce, she quickly put it back on the table.
“Something is wrong Temari?’’ asked Gaara as he removed eggplant from the grill. She pushed a few other bowls away from her grimacing. “There’s too much peanut butter, I can’t stand it’’ she answered. Kankuro and Gaara looked at each other.
“No need to make a scene’’ said Kankuro as he shoved a piece of plantain in his older sister's mouth only to receive a herculean slap behind his head.
The dinner went as expected, when everyone was satisfied, waiters cleared the table while waitresses distributed alcoholic beverages based on each table’s orders. Yes, in Kumo they do the drinking after the meal and it is used as prepping for the dancefloor. When cocktails (or a beer whatever pleases you) are served, each table are called to offer their gifts and envelopes (of money) to Karui & Chouji.
Sasuke watched as Naruto’s table (made of him, Lee, Kiba, Shino, Sai & Neji) got up to greet the groom and the bride. Shisui raised an eyebrow.
“Wait, Sasuke why aren’t you going with them? Aren’t you friends with them too?” He asked only to be answered with an angry look. Rin sighed at what she thinks is her husband’s cousin's ignorance and not a willful attempt to hurt Sasuke’s feelings. Itachi discretely cringed at the man’s words.
Sakura sipped on an exotic fruit sparkling water when she watched Shikamaru, Ino & Asuma offering their gifts and best wishes to the newly married couple. Shikamaru was drowning in his tears and Ino tried her best to maintain her composure but failed miserably. Sakura’s table was called next. Hinata went on a long genuine monologue to wish them a good life as a married couple. Especially to Karui who just joined her in the “Married Women Club’’ and how she can’t wait to see her become a mother one day. The others (Karin, Suigetsu & Juugo) expressed their joy for them and presented their gifts even if they were not as familiar with Chouji and his wife as much as Sakura & Hinata.
“I have to admit your marriage is already better than Temari’s’’ admitted Kankuro to Chouji, he was instantly gifted with a second slap on the neck by Temari. Him and Chouji laughed it off while Gaara was offering a few presents to Karui.
Time passed and the alcohol was flowing AND IT SHOWED. Waves of laughter were getting higher, and some were already weakened or boldened by the alcoholic beverages. Naruto felt it “It’s Coming…’’ he said to Lee. Kakashi never felt this relaxed in a while, he needed to bring a few bottles of the whisky they were serving home.
“Ok ok, I see you guys have digested well your food and some burn of impatience to show their dance moves to the world or I’m seeing double?’’ said Killer Bee. Waiters started freeing the space to make room for the dancefloor. “Fool, Ya, fool. It’s time to get funky but before the bench warmers leave in a hurry! It's time for the throw of the bride’s flower bouquet. Come on, all my single ladies. Don’t be shy, come out on the middle scene whether you’re in your 20s or 30s. Let’s get it!”
All the single women were encouraged to go to the middle of the room so one of them could catch Karui’s bouquet. Ino happily grabbed Sakura, Tenten & Temari and placed them in the center of the crowd of women. She couldn’t stop giggling in excitement. Then even Naruto, was shocked when the entire crowd (from Kumo) started counting as they all knew what to say in such a weird fashion only for a song to start when Karui threw her flowers.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, HAPPY NEW YEARRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Out of all people, Sakura caught it. “Whoops..’’ said Ino when the room was completely silent.
Itachi who just got out of the bathroom and luckily caught the scene pointed his brother from across the room ‘’SASUKE, MARRY HER NOW!’’ he yelled.
Suddenly a frenzy broke out in the room and a large group of men (including Naruto and his friends) seize the raven before he could escape and started throwing the Uchiha in the air repeating the command of his older brother.
MARRY HER NOW! MARRY HER NOW!! MARRY HER NOW!!
If Shisui and Obito could, they would mop the floor by rolling in laughter. Meanwhile, Madara was collecting blackmailing material with his phone widely grinning.
“Ok Ok leave Sasuke alone and let him go! If not, he might destroy all of you guys with his Susano!” laughed Killer Bee interrupting the chaos with the stage microphone. Sasuke adjusted his clothes while standing back up and lightly smiled to hide the flaming radioactive anger inside consuming him. He never thought he would have to thank Killer Bee out of all people but first, he made a clear mental note to burn all of Itachi’s books when he got home. Sakura blushed at the situation not thinking things would go this far.
Since the mood was hyped, the DJ took the occasion to play the first song of the night. Quickly the lights were dimmed, and the song was danced with the marrying couple, it’s tradition. When the music started, the room turned into a nightclub in a snap of fingers and most people joined the dancefloor to dance to a choreography popular in Kumo, a classic for any reunion/celebration. Neji used the situation to finesse his way out of the venue.
Sasuke stayed longer than intended because Suigetsu wanted to stock on the quality grilled beef while Karin was slowly realizing that there were other attractive men in the world aside from her precious Sasuke.

Gluten-free finds in Asheville, NC
I took a roadtrip to Asheville with a gluten-free family member, and here's what we ate. Before you ask, we didn't go to Posana, the completely gluten-free restaurant in Asheville. It wasn't open while we were there. So, here are some options for when Posana is closed.
Early Girl Eatery
Early girl serves both breakfast and comfort food all day. I had gluten-free chicken tenders with cinnamon apples and fries (the mashed potatoes were sold out), with a peach-flavored lemonade. It was all delicious and hit the spot after a long day in the car.
Old Europe Pastries
This place is dangerous. I've never seen so many gluten-free dessert options. I had the godiva cheesecake and the peanut butter chocolate mousse, and I'm still dreaming about them.
Green Sage Cafe
Another cafe with all-day breakfast, but with a focus on healthy ingredients. We liked it so much we went back twice. The pancakes, wraps, bowls, and muffins were delicious. Note that they're "gluten sensitive" rather than gluten-free (they don't guarantee no cross-contamination).
Strada Italiano
I don't have a picture of Strada's Tuscan stuffed figs because they lasted about 2 seconds on the plate. After the table next to us got theirs, we heard strange moaning sounds. Just, get the figs.
Pictured: gluten-free focaccia and eggplant parmesan. Everything tasted fresh, light, and homemade.

Cook Khoresh Gheymeh with Me!
Thursday night I cooked one of my favorite Persian dishes, khoresh gheymeh. This is one of the many dishes my grandmother would cook us back home every Monday night. A few years ago, I asked to watch her in the kitchen and learned how to make this dish. Cooking Persian food helps me connect with and honor my culture, which can be challenging at times as my father’s side of the family is not Persian. I made this meal with an American friend, and I loved sharing the Persian culture with him. I taught him how to prepare Persian rice by boiling it in excess salty water, straining and rinsing it, adding more salt to taste, and then putting it back into the pot with a layer of oil at the bottom. I have cooked Persian rice many times before, but this was the first time I was able to get perfect tahdig that flipped right out of the pot! The night was a success when he asked to get seconds and take the leftovers home. My experience did not really challenge my preconceptions as I’m familiar with the Persian cooking process, but I certainly thought twice about the hefty amount of oil required for the tahdig and French fries. The oil used in Persian cuisine is one of the only similarities it shares with American cuisine, where Persian dishes have a tart flavor that can be created by citrus or other tart fruits such as pomegranate and sour cherries. While not present in gheymeh, the use of herbs is also very prevalent.
هاله
Below is the recipe I used along with step by step pictures.
Here we have added the stew beef and diced onions to a pot with olive oil. I seasoned them and browned all sides of the beef without fully cooking it.
Next, I added the tomato sauce and previously boiled yellow split peas to the pot. The beef will finish cooking in the tomato sauce which will prevent it from becoming tough.
I seasoned with the salt, pepper, cinnamon, and turmeric (I am not fancy enough to have saffron). I also added one lime's worth of juice (way more than the recipe calls for, but this is personal preference) and dried lime powder (which can be purchased on Amazon)
Here I have dried limes which can also be purchased on Amazon. I am using the sharp inner part of my kitchen scissors to puncture holes in the skin to allow the sauce to soak in. Any tool that can puncture holes without shattering the entire lime will work.
This is completely optional, but I roasted some eggplant to add to the stew. I cut the eggplant into thin slices, brushed with olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and put it into the air fryer at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
Here I am straining the white basmati rice I cooked until al-dente.
I have then lined the bottom of the pot with peanut oil and put the rice back inside with the heat on low and the lid on to steam the rice until completely cooked and the tahdig has formed.
Here are the final results from the cooking! I served with plain yogurt on the side.

Sichuan Eggplant and Minced Pork
Some of the best eggplant I have ever eaten. Adapted from this recipe: https://www(dot)chinasichuanfood.com/chinese-eggplants-with-minced-pork/
INGREDIENTS
1 and 1/2 Japanese eggplants cut into cubes, each with a bit of skin.
3/4lb ground pork
1 baby bok choy, well cleaned, base removed, stems sliced half inch thick, leaves left whole or cut in half if larger.
3-4 green onions, white parts cut into 1/4 inch slices, green parts into batons
1 pkg dried maitake mushrooms rehydrated (larger parts separated), drained (you can probably sub many other types of mushrooms, though plain button style mushrooms might not be as flavorful).
1 TBSP minced ginger
3 cloves minced garlic
2 TBSP shaoxing wine
1 -2 TBSP doubanjiang (or to taste)
1 TBSP sugar
1 TBSP toasted sesame oil
4+ TBSP vegetable oil
2 TBSP soy sauce
Cornstarch for coating eggplant
1/4 cup roasted peanuts
METHOD
Soak eggplant in heavily salted water for at least 10 min. Make sure pieces are submerged. Thoroughly drain, then coat with cornstarch.
Heat 2 TBSP veg oil in wok on med high heat. Stir fry eggplant until dark and crispy, being careful not to burn. Approx. 6-8 min. Remove eggplant and reserve.
Add in 1 TBSP veg oil and stir fry pork until brown and crispy, breaking it up into fine pieces, 5-7 min. Remove and reserve with eggplant, leaving as much fat as possible in the wok.
Add last TBSP oil to wok. Stir fry mushrooms until brown and crisp, 3-4 min.
Add bok choy and fry until leaves are wilted, about 1 min.
Pour wine around outside edge of wok allowing it to run to center. This will steam off for a moment.
Once the steam dies down, open space in center of wok and place doubanjiang. Fry for 1 min then lower heat to low.
Add ginger, garlic, white part of green onion. Stir for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add soy, toasted sesame oil, and sugar and toss to combine.
Add all reserved ingredients back to wok along with green part of green onion and toss to combine.
Remove from heat, garnish with peanuts, and serve.

At Hyderabad Wala, we take immense pride in bringing you authentic flavors that reflect the heart of traditional Hyderabadi cuisine. Our menu showcases a vibrant array of biryanis, each prepared with dedication and an unwavering commitment to taste. Today, we shine the spotlight on two exquisite vegetarian delicacies that have captured the hearts (and taste buds) of food enthusiasts – the Veg Dum Biryani and the Gutti Vankaya Biryani.
Veg Dum Biryani – A Vegetarian Delight with Layers of Flavor
The Veg Dum Biryani is a classic example of how vegetables and rice can unite to create a symphony of taste. At Hyderabad Wala, our version is lovingly prepared using long-grain basmati rice, farm-fresh vegetables, and a secret blend of aromatic spices. Every layer of this biryani is cooked over a slow flame (known as the ‘dum’ process) to ensure that the flavors mingle and develop, resulting in a hearty dish with a soul-stirring aroma.
What Makes Our Veg Dum Biryani Special?
Flavorsome Rice: Each grain of basmati rice is soaked in the fragrance of saffron, herbs, and authentic Hyderabadi masalas, delivering a burst of flavor in every bite.
Garden-Fresh Vegetables: We use a medley of vegetables like carrots, beans, peas, and potatoes that add crunch and nutrition to the biryani.
Perfectly Balanced Spices: Our carefully crafted spice blend ensures a perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and earthiness.

Gutti Vankaya Biryani – A Regional Treasure
If you crave bold flavors with a touch of tradition, the Gutti Vankaya Biryani is a must-try! A true gem from Andhra Pradesh, this dish features tender stuffed baby brinjals (eggplants) simmered in a thick, spicy masala. The stuffed brinjals are nestled within layers of fragrant rice, allowing their smoky, spicy essence to seep through the entire biryani.
Key Highlights of Our Gutti Vankaya Biryani:
Stuffed Brinjals with Love: We handpick baby brinjals and stuff them with a special blend of roasted spices, peanuts, and sesame seeds. This ensures a burst of flavor and a delightful texture.
Rich, Earthy Masala: The masala cooked with the brinjals creates a luscious gravy that blends beautifully with the rice.
Aromatic Rice Layers: Each layer of basmati rice is steamed to perfection, absorbing the essence of the masala and brinjals, resulting in a deliciously flavorful experience.
Authenticity at Its Core: Our Gutti Vankaya Biryani stays true to the roots of this regional specialty, making it a must-have for food connoisseurs.

Sure, there is nothing wrong with good old mustard, mayonnaise, and ketchup. But those classic flavors would be even more appreciated if given a rest for a while. And, in the meantime, here are ten condiments from all over the world that have been waiting on the benches for their day on the spotlight on your diner table. Did you ever hear about oyster sauce? Or lingonberry jam? Take a quick look and see if any of these flavor enhancers tempt you!
Let us start this list with a sauce that is served throughout the Balkan nations as a relish or a side dish. The so-called "Serbian Salsa", ajvar is a condiment made principally from sweet bell peppers and eggplants.
The relish became a popular side dish throughout Yugoslavia after World War II and is made of roasted peppers. Ajvar can be consumed as a bread spread or as a side dish. Ajvar has a few variations. One variation contains tomato and eggplant, and another green bell peppers and oregano.
Hoisin sauce gives a tangy glaze to any dish. Essentially a Chinese barbecue sauce, this condiment lies at the intersection of brown sauce and hot sauce. Peking ducks are almost always dressed with hoisin sauce.
This is a thick, fragrant sauce commonly used as a glaze for meat, an addition to stir fry, or as a dipping sauce. It is dark-colored, sweet, and salty. Although regional variants exist, hoisin sauce usually includes soybeans, fennel, red chili peppers, and garlic.
A Korean sauce, gochujang is a savory and spicy hot pepper paste that gives many dishes from its country of origin their unique taste. It is made from chili, fermented soybeans, sticky rice, and salt, it’s mostly combined with other condiments when used.
Traditionally, it would be naturally fermented over years in ceramic vessels on an elevated stone platform in the backyard but these days it is prepared in a more industrial environment.
As the name implies, fish sauce is a liquid condiment made from fish. Its pungent smell may come as a shock to the first-time user but it is a flavor one gets used to. It helps enhance the taste of the ingredients it touches.
It is mixed with sugar, chili, lime juice, and garlic, and due to its ability to add a savory umami flavor to dishes, it has been embraced globally by chefs and home cooks. It can be used as a seasoning during or after cooking and as a base in dipping sauces.
A familiar name to many, chutney is made of fruit or vegetable marinated in vinegar, spices, and sugar, chutneys can be sweet, savory, or spicy. Chutneys are made in a wide variety of forms, such as a tomato relish, a ground peanut garnish, yogurt, or curd, cucumber, spicy coconut, spicy onion, or mint dipping sauce.
Vinegar was added to the recipe for English-style chutney that traditionally aims to give a long shelf life so that autumn fruit can be preserved for use throughout the year or to be sold as a commercial product. In Western cuisine, chutney is often eaten with hard cheese or with cold meats.
Miso is a byproduct of soy sauce, but it has a life of its own. Apart from being used to make soup, the paste can be served directly as a topping on rice.
High in protein and rich in vitamins and minerals, it is used for sauces and spreads, pickling vegetables, fish, or meats. Different varieties of miso have been described as salty, sweet, earthy, fruity, and savory.
Another familiar name on the list, aioli begins with a ground garlic paste before whipping in egg yolk, olive oil, and mustard. The emulsion is sometimes seasoned with lemon juice, saffron, or chili. It is a perfect dip for seafood, veggie crisps, or french fries.
The names mean "garlic and oil" in Catalan and Provençal. It is found in the cuisines of the Mediterranean coasts of Spain and France.Some versions of the sauce are closer to a garlic mayonnaise, incorporating egg yolks and lemon juice, whereas other versions lack egg yolk and contain more garlic.
Perhaps it is more than "just" a condiment, as it also has steamed, fried sausage, usually pork, typically cut into bite-sized chunks. But in this case, we are highlighting the curry ketchup that goes with it.
Currywurst sauce is based on spiced ketchup or tomato paste topped with curry powder, or a ready-made ketchup seasoned with curry and other spices. The dish is often served with french fries.
As exotic as the name sounds, it is not a rare condiment. Oyster sauce is a viscous dark brown condiment thickened with corn starch, made from oyster extracts, sugar, salt, and water.
Oyster sauce is saltier and is used more often in everyday cooking than hoisin sauce. It’s as suitable for marinating a steak at home as it is for dressing boiled choi sum.
Lingonberries grow on a short evergreen shrub in the Arctic tundra throughout the Northern Hemisphere from Eurasia to North America. And, in Sweden, these little berries are used to make delicious jam that is used as a condiment for meat courses, such as meatballs, beef stew, or fried herring.
Traditional dishes such as potato pancakes, spinach pancakes, and black pudding are commonly combined with lingonberries. The jam can also be paired with oatmeal porridge, mashed potatoes, and some desserts.
