Fried Dandelions
Fried dandelions are a local favorite back in West Virginia, up in the Appalachian Mountains. This is my mom's recipe and consists of picking the largest dandelion flowers and leaving the entire stem behind, battering the flowers up and frying them in butter. They have a flavor similar to that of mushrooms and are delicious!
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons seasoned salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
4 large eggs
80 unopened dandelion blossoms, stems removed
½ cup butter
Directions
Combine flour, seasoned salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until evenly combined; set aside. Beat eggs in a mixing bowl, then stir in dandelion blossoms until completely coated.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove half of the dandelions from egg mixture, and allow the excess egg to drip away. Toss in flour until completely coated, then remove and toss between your hands to allow excess flour to fall away. Cook coated dandelions in the melted butter until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining dandelions.
Cook’s Note
To avoid a bitter taste, make sure the dandelion flowers you're picking have not been sprayed by dogs or pesticides.
Prepare the dandelion flowers ahead of time by submerging them in a bowl of room-temperature water with about 1 tablespoon salt added to the water. This rids the flowers of any insects that could be in the blossoms. Soak for about 10 minutes. Rinse the flowers in fresh water. Using a salad spinner works nicely to rinse and dry the dandelion flowers.
There is a variety of dandelion that has a thin solid stalk, and this is not the flower to use. Make sure the dandelions you pick have a tubular stalk.
As an option, canola or vegetable oil can be used to fry the dandelions, but the flavor will change accordingly.
Try using some other spices, like garlic powder, in seasoning to taste.
Editor's Notes:
The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the breading ingredients. The actual amount of the breading consumed will vary.
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.

Grabbed the latest issue of Sho-Comi because Mahou Shoujo Dandelion has been making waves on Twitter in advance of its release and I had to see how it actually turned out.
Mizuho Kaeru seemed a tad overwhelmed on socials about just how much anticipation the series was receiving based on concept and characters alone, but Mizuho should honestly be proud of how well they've lined up trending tropes in Dandelion.
You've got the nasty-cute monster dude (Shade) who would do anything for his bright ray of sunshine (Tanpopo). Throw in the nostalgic magical girl element and it's not hard to see why both Japanese and English-speaking fans have been anticipating this first chapter. So, does it live up to the hype?
I'd veture that yes, Dandelion is worthy of the excitement that has been building around it. It was good as a lunchtime read on my phone and while I'll probably have to re-read it to get everything I want from it, my initial impression is a positive one.
I'm not a fan of grumpy/sunshine type stuff but Tanpopo's strengths as a character really helped me enjoy what was on offer here. You can see why the Special Magic Warrior Management Organisation was interested in her, she's got a good heart and she's got gumption, even if Shade is the one who continually helps break her fall.
Tumblr media
The complication here is of course that Shade, while obliging of Tanpopo in his own way, is also monstrous. He plays into this when he wants to, menacing Tanpopo herself at one point because he's A VILLAIN OK?? (Sure buddy.) With Tanpopo becoming Dandelion, how will their dynamic change? Can this uneasy relationship develop further when our leads are technically on opposite sides of a battle with life-altering stakes, despite a potential unspoken desire to present a united front?
Tumblr media
What I like about Mizuho's approach in this first chapter is that the world these characters live in is already tinted with grey and what should be a black & white / good vs. evil situation is far more complex than this right out of the gate. The "monster of the week" that shows up here is grotesque and violent, hardly the sanitised version you'd see in childhood cartoons. However, the magic warrior org is quite willing to lop heads (literally) when they have to, showing that they are not all sparkles and rainbows either. Tanpopo and Shade are very much walking into unknown territory here and I'm interested to see how Mizuho handles things in chapter two.
Tumblr media
I just have to add that I absolutely loved this moment where Dandelion, newly transformed, performs her first magical action -- restoring the umbrella she'd used defensively as Tanpopo. So much about her character expressed in this simple yet powerful action. LOVED ITTTTTT.
If the hype remains then I can see this one turning out to be a solid little series. There's definite potential here in both the characters and scenario. I highly recommend grabbing the magazine issue and supporting any other official releases that become available if you can. Mizuho is also happy for people to produce fan art, so maybe draw pic or share a tweet/post/etc. about it if you don't have the money to invest and help keep that hype train moving this way instead!

Reminder that dandelions are edible. I wouldn’t recommend eating them from the side of the road because pesticides and other roadside unpleasantness. But you can just pluck the flowers off and eat them in a pinch if you’re desperate or merely curious. They also taste good in fritters.

These crispy battered and fried dandelion flowers taste amazing! They make a great appetizer or you can sprinkle some on a green salad for added crunch factor. These edible flowers are nutritional powerhouses, bursting with vitamin C.
Ingredients
🌼 30 dandelion flowers
🌼 1 cup all-purpose flour
🌼 1 teaspoon curry powder
🌼 ½ teaspoon salt
🌼 1 large egg
🌼 ½ cup lager-style beer, or more if needed
🌼 2 cups canola oil for frying
Directions
Wash dandelions under cool running water and dry on paper towels. Remove the green tendrils behind each flower. Set aside.
Mix together flour, curry powder, and salt in a small bowl or measuring cup. Beat egg in a large bowl; stir in flour mixture until smooth. Pour in beer; mix until batter is similar to runny pancake batter. Add more beer if batter is too thick.
Heat oil in a small saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). If you don't have a thermometer, heat oil until it begins to shimmer.
Working in batches, dip dandelion flowers into batter, then gently drop in hot oil and fry until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer cooked flowers to crumpled paper towels or a wire rack; serve warm.
Tips
This recipe makes enough batter for more dandelions and works well for onion rings.
Editor's Note:
Nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of batter ingredients. The actual amount of batter consumed will vary. We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.

With a youtuber s/o
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: idol Lee Know × cover dancer Gn!reader
Genre: fluff, headcanons, established relationship
Request: Can you make Minho w a YouTuber partner 😔
Warnings: straight up delulu, not proofread.
A/n: had fun doing this one so I'll probably make youtuber reader with some other members as well! | Daily click
Tumblr media
‌for context, you'd be a dancer
‌and you'd post shorts on YouTube covering K-pop songs
‌some videos on those "public K-pop"
‌and maybe even tutorials
‌you'd be relatively famous in this type of field (kinda like innah bee yk)
‌and one day, one of your shorts reaches Minho
‌we saw Minho's reaction to boy's planet, we know he's gonna judge😭
‌so when he saw a video of you dancing god's menu he was like "not this again"
‌but it turned out to be pretty good??
‌very good actually
‌and the set was kinda cute and you were even dressed up on the MV theme
‌there was a clear dedication put into the work you were doing
‌so he might've clicked in your channel to see your other videos
‌and he watched all your videos
‌really, all of them
‌the improvement was so good to watch
‌then he proceeds to watch your longer videos and to follow you on insta and tiktok
‌and just like that you became a sort of celebrity crush to him
‌he even started to watch your tutorials to learn other idol's choreos
‌yes he is a professional dancer and he could learn it by just watching the dance practice a few times
‌but what's the fun of it?
‌so he would watch your 40 minutes tutorials happily
‌but one day ! he finds out that you were invited to perform at KCon and lmao, guess who pestered jyp staff just so he could go there as well
‌yeah you got it right
‌besides finally seeing you in real life (and why were you so gorgeous??), he got the opportunity to see you backstage
‌and maybe even talk to you for a bit
‌maybe film a challenge with you
‌maybe even get your number
‌who knows?
‌the thing is, you guys got to know each other after that day
‌you guys would talk pretty much everyday
‌and he would often invite you to the practice room just so you guys could dance a bit together
‌two dancers in love must be something so cute to witness
‌he would also help you with some choreos
‌especially the stray kids ones
‌would be extremely offended if you delayed one of skz choreos to film another cover first
‌and would be more than happy to teach you everything you want to know
‌will probably make excuses to be way too close to you when teaching you
‌also helps in your videos
‌to film, to make the scenario, to help with the lighting...
‌sometimes he lends you pieces of the outfit he wore in the MV and the comments are always like "oh my God, this looks so much like what Lee Know wore!"
‌haha funny story...
‌anyways
‌he's your #1 supporter and you can be sure he will always be the first one to like your videos
‌and will share every. single. video with the boys
‌like "look at my partner!! So talented!! Why can't you all be like that"
‌but they can also tease him a lot because of that, as Minho always gives the most soft smile ever whenever he sees you uploaded a new video
‌as I said, your biggest fan indeed

to all the greasers i’ve loved before - chapter 1.
warnings: bad writing (my first time writing a multiple part fic ), don’t let the picture of dallas fool you he barely features in this chapter i’m afraid, fem! curtis reader though it is never specified whether the reader is a bio daughter or adopted and so can be read as either, doesn’t follow book canon, 1060 words <3
Tumblr media
you had always loved love. your parents were more than happy to recount stories of how you would wander around the house dressed in your nightdress with the lace curtain over your hair clutching onto a small posy of daisies and dandelions. you had called it playing weddings and it was your all-time favourite game.
this obsession with love trickled into other things with most of the cookies you baked being heart-shaped or being the only person to still give everyone, even the weird kids handmade valentines after it was deemed uncool at about thirteen. yes, you loved love but there was an important differentiation, you loved the idea of it. so you supposed it was natural that you began to write love letters the way some people wrote diary entries.
you kept them in a teal silk hatbox of your mothers which had long since lacked the hat intended to be in it. there was one letter for every boy you had liked at one time - five in total. Bryon from volunteering at the hospital, Johnny from freshman homecoming, Dallas from two summers ago, Randy from Model Un and Keith since forever. you supposed your letters were less i love you love letters and more goodbye love letters. they were a way of accepting the crush whilst also allowing yourself to let go and move on. that you could sing to the Ronettes and not be singing about him, that you could buy milkshakes at the diner and not wonder which flavour he’d choose. the letters set you free - at least they were supposed to…
Keith Jacobs was a friend of your brothers but you’d always been a bit in love with him. his mother moved to Tulsa all alone with one son and a baby girl just across the street from you and so your parents, lovely people that they were invited the Jacobs round for a fried chicken dinner. you made a peach cobbler for dessert and when Keith asked for seconds - you glowed with pride. by the time he’d finished his third helping you’d already decided what shade of white your wedding dress would be and from that day he was practically always at your house. there was time when it was the four of you, Daryl, Soda, Pony and Keith but then your parents died and it all changed.
Daryl had to grow up and then the other three all started hanging out later and getting into fights which was fine because you had Angela and Sylvia. well, you had Sylvia till the summer before high school. then suddenly over that summer, she started smoking cheap cigarettes and wearing tight jeans where you were still happy to read a silly romance novel and bake cookies. angie was more like Sylvia really but she was like a street dog who you’d given a treat to - loyal to a fault and kept coming back.
which leads you to where you are now, the last day before junior year and the house is packed. you and Daryl were determined to keep up the tradition of home-cooked meals, mainly for Ponyboy but if you were honest with yourself sometimes as you mashed the potatoes with the radio turned up you would close your eyes and pretend your parents were slow dancing behind you. it turned out that most of your brother's friends didn’t normally eat well so they would often come round too. privately you wish they wouldn’t, they were too loud to you with no manners and they didn’t wash their hands before they ate. but for Ponyboy, the baby of the family you put up with it. You break out of these thoughts when Two-bit speaks, because as you hate to remember he’s Two-bit now not Keith anymore.
“guess who scored themselves a girlfriend”
You choke on your broccoli as all the boys cheer and clap him on the back. your ears ring and you feel like you’re gonna be sick. quietly you whisper to Daryl.
“I don’t feel very well. I think it’s my monthlies - I’m gonna go to bed”
he nods ruffling your hair affectionately as if you're still five and not almost seventeen. you don’t mind - that’s Darry’s way - playing dad to you and your brothers.
“g’night kid I’ll bring you some hot cocoa up and one of those hot water bottles wrapped in a towel.”
as you retreat to your bedroom with tears stinging you hear a chorus of “goodnights” and “feel better soon” from all apart from Dallas. despite your pain you still have the energy to roll your eyes, god forbid Winston cares about someone other than himself for once.
once you clasp your box and retreat under the floral quilts that your mom made you finally allow the tears to fall as you reread the letters. you decide tomorrow you’ll draft a new letter for two-bit, an official goodbye to the foolish hope you’ve clung to for so long. You hear the click of the look, and hastily you shove the letters back into the hatbox and wipe any resounding tears. Pony perches on the edge of your bed holding out the hot cocoa and water bottle that Darry had promised you.
“sissy, you okay?”
you bite back a laugh when he calls you that, a name that he called you as a baby that just stuck. then you watch his eyes catch the hatbox with curiosity.
“what’s that?”
clutching the box to your chest you speak.
“nothing just an old hatbox of mom’s that I keep recipes in. I’ve been working on a new strawberry shortcake one.”
you lie easily knowing that since that’s Pony’s favourite dessert it’ll distract him. he grins widely at you and you are reminded how young he is like a stab in the gut.
“promise?”
he says holding his pinky finger out.
“promise baby, I’ll see you in the morning okay?”
standing up you say to him as you press a kiss to his forehead and place the box away in the top shelve of your wardrobe. he’s still at an age where he pretends that stuff grosses him out so he scowls childishly as he leaves the room. you slip into your white cotton nightgown and finally let sleep overtake you. you’ll deal with it all in the morning and yet in that weird stage between sleeping and awake, you swear you hear the door open once more…
Tumblr media
hope you like it! xoxo, flo <3
@socgf @heart-shqped-box @jujuheartz13 @r0seb100d @cranberrv @anifever @notagreasernotasoc @honeysmoonn for now i’m just tagging all the people who expressed an interest but if you don’t wanna be tagged or wanna be added let me know <3

Carry me - Simon "Ghost" Riley x m!reader (angst)
Games
Bit by Bit
(This was made after 1am and I projected my OCD onto a fictional character so that's on me guys, my bad. Any bad writing can be blamed on the fact I was watching chernobyl with my cat and eating the saltiest fried chicken sandwich known as i wrote this)
Tumblr media
"Simon-"
"Don't." He grunted, leaving his position in your bed. Never his. 
The day he admits it's his bed as well, is the day he has the ability to sleep peacefully. And God knows when he'll be granted that right. 
He awoke to the sound of screams, his ears ringing. The feeling of water and blood rapidly running under his skin, as if his flesh begged to be free. 
You had rolled over to hold his midriff, and Lord help him with how much he's grown attached to you, with how much he wanted to pin you down as if you were nothing more than another enemy in his eyes.
He shot up, just to feel the familiar sting of a hook in his rib as he had sat on the bed.
Stepping out onto the patio with a grunt, a tank top and some joggers on with slippers. The apartment's patio serving as the perfect place to have a smoke, the dog yawning to join. Big fella, she was, nudging snout onto Simons leg.
Sitting down, he grabs a light, lighting the cigarette he had hiding cheekily in his pocket, when he had swore up and down he wasn't smoking anymore less than 8 hours ago.
Burn your wrist.
Shut up Riley, you know better than to act on that.
Do it now.
No.
He leaned back, allowing the nicotine to enter his system, and the tobacco to leave a lasting smell on the rough pads of his fingers. He watched you from the corner of your eye. Silent panic. Wanting to help him. But you can't. All he can do is lie to a therapist and come home to you.
He made this worse. Leave him. You're nothing, but he's worse. 
Stop.
He saw you at your worst. Why stay? 
Because he saw me at my worst. And he stayed.
He shouldn't have.
Stop.
He knows nothing about you and he goes to sleep saying bull crap about loving you.
"STOP!"
He yells, grabbing his hair in two fists on the side of his head, the cigarette between his fingers, lingering in the night air as the sound of the city stand beneath him.
He looks at you, and you seem to just be staring. Frozen. 
It spitballs, as he meets your gaze;
"Stop fucking staring at me like that yeah? You can't fucking help me! You deal with me, or you kick me out. Should've done that by now if you've ever known what's good for you!" He says, throwing his hands up in the air out of exasperation, the dog yelping a bit as she backs away. He heads back inside, putting out the cigarette, and snatching his blanket, heading towards the couch.
You gave him a look as he left. He knew that look. You've set boundaries, he was trying to be healthy for you. Honest. You wouldn't stand for verbal abuse, nor disrespect. But he was weak. Useless in the presence of a man like you.
He knew better than to immediately go to you. He left earlier for the gym that morning, called off work, went to one of those shitty manmade parks with more dog piss than a fire hydrant, and sat himself down. Right in the grass, watching a single dandelion. It was weak. But it still stood in the grass. It moved with the wind, even when it lost it's soft white petals. 
And when it was stripped naked, bare, with nothing left to offer, there was another dandelion there. Planted from the wind carrying it. Ready to repeat the cycle. 
Why is he doing this? He'll repeat what his father did. He was the end of it. No relatives to fall back on. God knows how much he's begged to bring his brother, Tommy back. 
But that's just it. He's the end of the cycle.
Get up. Nobody is coming to save you.
He stands before you now, with nothing to offer, but the willingness to move with you if you'd allow him. If you'd allow a weak man like him to remain with you. He'll continue to lose his petals, but you'll help him plant new flowers. To utter the words, 
"I can never truly tell you how sorry I am, love. You are the man I want. You are everything. And it's not enough. But I am trying."
Looking up at you, his bones brittle, his eyes heavy.
He wants to sleep. To feel his flesh settle, his mind quiet.
And as you embrace him, he can feel every molecule in his skin burning. 
And if you ever let reality hit that you deserve someone who could think like a bloody normal human for once, would he continue to survive for as long as he could without you to carry him. Until he allowed the world to end what it started. 
You are everything.
Laying in bed, your hands hesitantly rubbing his back in soft circular motions as he keeps his head in your tummy, soft breathing as the dog nuzzled into the crook between you two, soft kisses lingering on his tongue, it leaves him before he can chase after it;
"...Would you ever marry me?"

What do you think techno and dream's favorite foods are? Or maybe, a food that they like to make and a food made by someone else that you think they'd like?
I think philza makes foods that are very nutritious and waste very little but aren't always super tasty. But I think he makes the best tea out of all of them.
honestly, c!dream in canon is so focused on practicality and survival that i think he probably couldn't name his favorite food if you put him on the spot and would probably say golden apples or steak.
but i think, once you get him away from that mentality and sat down at a table, he would like comfort food. he's mentioned grilled cheese before. i think a grilled cheese sandwich and a nice bowl of tomato soup would be something he likes. the stew techno makes on days that are cold even for the arctic is probably one his favorite things. fried eggs with buttered toast, things like that.
c!techno on the other hand, could probably list about seven different favorites that he has. he has a sweet tooth as well. from steak with potatoes to stuffed mushrooms to a sweetberry glazed salmon to a nice fruit pastry. techno knows that a life isn't worth living if you don't take time to enjoy yourself. he's had to fight for his peaceful life and there's nothing better than eating a good meal in your home with your friends.
that's why he spends so much time cooking for his friends. (i remember him gathering dandelions before the festival to make suspicious stew with saturation for his friends; he knows being well-fed is important.)
and yes, c!phil does make the best tea.
