#Green Chicken and Dumplings

[askwhatsforlunch]

Green Chicken and Dumplings

Heart-warming and flavourful, these lemon-y Green Chicken and Dumplings make good use of chicken carcasses and a comforting dinner on a cold Autumn night!

Ingredients (serves 3):

2 raw (preferably free-range) chicken carcasses, with meat on the bones

2 fluffys sprigs Garden Rosemary 

2 sprigs fresh thyme

2 bay leaves

1/2 tablespoon coarse sea salt

1/2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns

2 1/2 litres/10 cups water

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion

1 large lemon

9 beautiful Garden Green Beans (I have grown more fat deep purple Blauhilde beans this year, which turn green once cooked!)

3 "cubes" frozen spinach

1 1/2 cup plain flour

1 heaped teaspoon baking powder

1 heaped teaspoon dried oregano

a pinch of salt

about 3/4 cup water

Place chicken carcasses in a large pot with Rosemary and thyme sprigs, bay leaves, coarse sea salt and black pepper. Cover with the water, and bring to the boil over a high flame.

Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and simmer, one hour and a half, until you have a beautifully fragrant broth.

Lift carcasses from the pot, onto a cutting board and allow them to cool completely. Filter chicken broth through a fine mesh sieve; set aside.

Rinse and dry pot.

Heat olive oil in the pot, over medium-high heat.

Peel and finely chop onion. Add to the pot, and fry, about 3 minutes, until softened, stirring often.

Remove the meat from the cooled chicken carcasses, chop roughly, and stir into the pot. Cook, a couple of minutes.

Thoroughly squeeze in the juice of the whole lemon, to deglaze, and add the emptied lemon halves to the pot.

Stir in reserved chicken broth, and brig to the boil.

Rinse, top and tail Garden Green Beans, and stir them into the pot. Cook, 5 minutes. Add frozen spinach "cubes", and cook, 5 minutes more.

Meanwhille, prepare dumplings. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, dried oregano and salt. Then, gradually stir in water (you may not need all of it) until you have a smooth batter.

Spoon heaped tablespoons of the dumpling mixture into the pot. You should have about 9. Cover with the lid, and cook, a further 5 minutes, flipping dumplings half-way through.

Serve Green Chicken and Dumplings wery hot!

to persuade conquest not to conquer earth, i'd give him food. a way to a man's heart (or minimal, basic, decent, empathy) is through his stomach.

i wouldn't give him fruits or prime rib or wagyu, though. No, I'm sure as an ancient viltrumite he's had his fair share of intergalactic delicacies.

i'd give him comfort food. some;

Chili with a gooey cinnamon roll slathered in icing, cornbread that has actual corn in it, pumpkin pie, chicken and egg noodles (or dumplings), fried chicken, elaborate green beans (fried with butter, or brown sugar with bacon, or with ham-hocks), collard greens.

basically, anything that would be unique to earth. sure, steak and cantaloupe would be, but the flavors? 90% sure the perfect bite of chicken, mushroom gravy, and mashed potatoes on garlic bread isn't gonna be on Talescria or those moon diners. tell him a "big boy like you is probably starving from all that space travel, huh?" and bring him some steaming, thick, spicy chili with a cinnamon roll and corn bread will make him postpone his invasion. giving him a nickname like "Connie" or "Silver Fox" with a shoulder rub or pat on the back will change his allegiance. it would be just SO easy. give that man some love, Viltrumites are affection starved and never felt a gentle touch, conquest? 100x that of a normal Viltrumite.

Southern Headcanons

Old Corona lowkey gives off southern small town vibes so here’s some southern Varian + Quirin headcanons because I’m not projecting at all.

Starting off strong with a classic- Varian loves sweet tea. He makes it homemade and it’s 90% sugar and it’s most of what he drinks. Quirin isn’t a big fan, but he’ll drink it occasionally when Varian makes it. Same with Lemonade; Varian loves it, Quirin is neutral.

If Quirin isn’t working, he’s relaxing in a rocking chair on his front porch.

Varian is the type of person to watch tornadoes instead of seeking shelter. Quirin has to physically pick him up and drag him to the basement.

There’s a creek in Old Corona that the children all frequent. 

Most of Quirin’s diet is biscuits and gravy. It’s the southern old man meal. And southern fried steak. And fried potatoes with gravy. Also coleslaw, and fried green tomatoes, because again, old man.

Varian likes fried chicken and waffles, peach cobbler, pulled pork, chicken and dumplings, and cornbread. He ate coleslaw once and died a little inside.

Neither of them are big fans of catfish or shrimp, they’re just not big on seafood. Ulla was a fan, however.

Neither of them have thick accents, but with certain words it shines through. It also shines through if they talk fast, or for Varian, if he gets really excited. Or it comes out at random moments. Eugene and the girls make fun of him for it, Rapunzel thinks it’s cute, Lance thinks it sounds cool

Quirin has Bible verse decor in his house. He’s not even religious. Those just kind of materialize on your walls the first time you say y’all.

Quirin and Ulla had an apple themed kitchen.

Quirin absolutely has said “bless your heart”

Ulla wore gingham, a lot.

Varian has mason jars. Everywhere. And also reuses those butter containers. He managed to get them to contain acid.

Old Corona has a lot of potholes.

Varian’s favorite place to go as a kid was with his father to Rural King. He loved looking at the machinery and the baby chickens.

Varian knows how to use a riding mower and is quite skilled at it. He tried to teach Eugene (his city kid cousin) and he crashed into a tree.

There is little to nothing to do in Old Corona except for the occasional festival.

Oktoberfest goes hard there.

Quirin isn’t the most social but he does have the southern hospitality down. He’ll invite you in for lemonade or tea. He’ll just, barely talk. (He strikes me as the type to be quiet and awkward in small/intimate settings.) He also brings new neighbors homemade food.

Neither Quirin nor Varian care about sports, but they watch football to feel included. Sometimes they’ll root for opposing teams just for the fun of a playful rivalry with eachother, even though they have no idea what they’re talking about.

Quirin likes old country music. Varian claims to dislike country music, but listens to it sometimes. He never heard the end of it from the girls when they found out he loves Cary Underwood. Ulla had a collection of Dolly Parton vinyl that was passed down to Eugene for….some reason.

Quirin also likes some bluegrass and very much enjoys the blues.

Again, Quirin is not religious, but church on Easter used to be a must. Mostly because it was the only time he and Ulla could get Varian to wear a suit, and he looked adorable in one. (Now all Quirin has to do is ask Rapunzel to make Varian nice clothes and he’ll wear them gladly.)

Ulla planted a lot of magnolias in their garden. And hydrangeas.

Old Corona has a lot of block parties and just, spontaneous potlucks. 

If Varian wasn’t with his parents he was probably with the resident Old Person in Old Corona. He didn’t have many friends growing up, but older people loved him.

Quirin watches Andy Griffith.

Old Corona has one gas station and it has the best slushies. Whenever Rapunzel visits they go there.

Eugene kinda hates Old Corona. He’s a city boy. Rapunzel likes the open-ness.

Old Corona is the prettiest in the Fall.

Varian conveniently spills acid on nearby confederate flags.

bc of the angst i requested, i know i will be needing fluff (or smut) to heal my soul. SO! haitao 209 and luu with their spouse doing grocery shopping before reader smacks haitao’s ass and then gave him an innocent smile, going back to their list of things they need to get

🍒 𓂃 𝑶𝑹𝑫𝑬𝑹 𝑼𝑷 : lemon meringue cheesecake !! . . . demon grim reaper ⊹ gn reader .

. ᘛ 𝑓𝑒𝑎𝑡​​​​​​​𝑢​​​​​​​𝑟​​​​​​​𝑖𝑛​​​​​​​𝑔﹕verse 209 ꮽ  zhào haitao

 𐔌𖹭 ˖ ࣪  who's that ?⠀﹕a stoic & cold grim reaper mercenary, possessed by a vengeful demon 

ּ  ֗ recepit ℘ ... you just can't leave your boyfriend's ass alone, even at the grocery shop ⊹ cw ٬٬ suggestive at the end .

"Carrots, cucumbers, cabbage, asparagus and —" You halt yourself in the midst of reading the grocery list up. Lifting a brow at the little bit of weight that joins your shoulder.

A misty black chin found purchase on the empty spot that wasn't occupied by your boyfriend's hand. "Luu'leriel, stop splitting yourself from me." Haitao sighs and glares at the demon leaning against you like a wet puppy trying to read along.

"Let him read along!" You shush Haitao with a smile and redirects your eyes to the demon on your right shoulder. Five eyes peer back at you. In an almost lotus petal pattern shaped formation, before they move to the paper and back to you. "No mackerel for stir-fry?" He whines.

"You're gonna make me fat." Haitao grunts and glares at Luu'leriel. Who only laughs straight in the grim reaper's face. "If I'm eating the food, you shouldn't worry about gaining. Besides, you're building muscle anyway."

You can't help but laugh affectionally, shaking your head as you speak. "Luu we'll have mackerel stir-fry on friday." And although Haitao sighs in dismay, your other boyfriend is more than happy. Wriggling around around you before he slumps back on your shoulder. Guiding his index across the paper to write on the bottom:

veggies: carrots, cucumbers, cabbage, asparagus, green bea. . . ( continues for a while )

fruits: dragon-fruit, lychee, mango, watermelon, kiwi. . . ( also continues for a while )

meats: pork, chicken, mackerel, tuna, sam salmon

dairy: lactose free milk.

misc: rice, rice-cakes, dumpling dough, condensed milk, boba for luu.

"You're cursing the fucking paper. Do you know how much of a bother it is to clean that up?"

"Suck my dick," Luu'leriel grunts at Haitao, who is picking the groceries and fruits for the wagon you're walking around with.

Oh his veins are about to pop. Dioxazine eyes snap over to exorcise the demon back into him, clasping at the back of his head and pulling. You hear a little yelp from him, before suddenly, your misty demon boyfriend is sucked back into your other boyfriend.

"Menace," he sighs and picks the rest of the lychee into the wagon. You laugh quietly, biting your bottom lip as you look down at his ass. Just another little move, he won't see your hand coming. . .

"He's a bit of a menace, but we love him." You comment, earning a little huff.

"You love him, I don't." Haitao responds, though you hear just the faintest amusement. Which quickly turns into a grunt, when you smack your hand hard against the plush ass hiding behind those black jeans. You slapped hard enough this time for the demon to come back out of Haitao.

"WHO DID THAT?!" The demon squeals enthusiastically "DO IT AGAIN."

"Shut the fuck up," Haitao whispers and starts pulling Luu'leriel back in frantically. Casting you a wide-eyed glance. Yet you pretend to be looking at the strawberries. . . Oh he knew who did that.

The second the two of you reached the next aisle, he pushed you against as secluded corner and whispered in your ear with warning. "When we get home, you're not gonna be let off so easy."

What else can you do but giggle, proud of yourself and now awaiting what is coming for you at home.

Template by @finchmarie can be found here. Thank you Finch it's a lovely template! And it's a Keahi double feature: OC MEME as snagged from @stormikins and @keenie-bo-beenie <3

General

Name: Keahi Maynard Shepard

Alias(es): Kay, Whero (fear-o), Ember, Siha

Gender: Genderqueer

Age: 40 in ME1, 42-44 in ME2, 45+ in ME3

Place of birth: Mindoir

Spoken languages: English, French, pidgin Hawaiin conversational/some/learning: Spanish, Arabic, Māori, Asari standard and Drell standard.

Sexual orientation: demisexual, rarely feels attraction but falls HARD when they do. Pansexual.

Occupation: ME1 alliance military infiltrator, rank of commander, and council spectre. ME2 council spectre, Alliance status unclear, and in the latter half secretly, co-shadow broker. ME3 retired from Alliance and council/ honourary roles not active, co-shadow broker with Liara T'Soni.

Favourite

Colours: Purple and green

Entertainment: Archery, nature walks, gaming (management sims and creative tools especially), reading, painting, playing guitar, crochet, music and dancing

Pastime: Having a great meal and maybe playing a game with close friends, then a private chill evening with Thane cosy in their quarters. More active wise, an archery session, particularly if it is on land in nature.

Food: Dad's home style jerk chicken, rice and peas, hard food and dumplings. Or a full roast dinner with all the trimmings.

Drink: Blackcurrent cordial, cool crisp cider, fresh orange juice with bits (pulp for my friends over the pond).

Book: Lord of the Rings trilogy

Have They

Passed University: Joined the Alliance straight out of school, has done many certifications via that.

Had sex: Before Thane, only two partners and brief relationships with a handful of sexual occasions. With Thane, a lot.

Had sex in public: No and absolutely zero interest in trying

Gotten tattoos: Yes. One is a periwinkle over a pentagon, a favourite flower and a nod to Thane. (I figure tattoo removal is much more doable by this point and Keahi is a sappy romantic anyway).

Gotten piercings: yes, muliple. The infiltration track allowed for slightly more lenient dress code in the alliance so they had some ear piercings, although they often closed over and had to be redone. From ME2 onward, multiple piercings including labret and nose.

Had a broken heart: Sort of. (i'm still working out these backstories so the details are a little bare here). Their two previous relationships were both with people they had strong, significant connections with but both were simply not sustainable. Relationship one was a fellow soldier, work, youth and distance made them decide to end things amicably. He later died in duty, Keahi still mourns him. Their second relationship was with a female turian (get him very drunk and they will admit they 'climbed her like a tree' at a good foot taller than him) again met via work and she wasn't looking for a commitment due to work ambitions, a mutual split but was very sad to end things at the time.

Been in love: Thane, the great love of their life, their soulmate, all the cliches. Thane lives because I am soft and they need to grow old and wrinkly together.

Are They

A cuddler: So cuddly with those they are close to. Minimal bodily contact until that closeness is formed though

Scared easily: Not easily. Keahi is a very chill, level headed person. Until they aren't and then it's nuclear time, all the feels.

Jealous easily: Not especially.

Trustworthy: Ridiculously reliable. I think Keahi is one of those people that could be extremely good at lying and manipulation if they have to and truly believe it's necessary, but would never want to and is a last resort, so if you are putting faith in them there's a 99% chance that faith is extremely well placed.

Family

Siblings: None, but was extremely close to other kids on Mindoir :(

Parents: Mum- Dr. Rita Shepard, Agriculturist. She was head of agricultural sustainability and planning on Mindoir, with specialisations in conservation and zenobotany. She made sure any food production didn't cause ecological problems and was sustainable both for the population and the planet. She named Keahi after the plant of the same name which has red stems, and to honour her Hawaiin mother. Dad- Winston Maynard, primary school teacher. Winston was one of those heart of the community types, a smiley, fun, loving man who idolised his 'big brained beautiul' wife and who was every kids favourite teacher.

Rita and Winston:

Children: Keahi loves kids and has always had a 'if it happens it happens and if not that's ok' attitude to having children of their own, knowing their work is not exactly child friendly. Once settled with Thane, Keahi is very happy taking on a step parent role to Kolyat (once Kolyat warms up to them and wants that too) and Feron. Most drell live in tight knit multi generational family units (Thane and Irikah were outliers there) and post reapers, Keahi and Thane live with Kolyat and Feron and very happily and readily help with raising and doting on grandchild Mina.

Pets: The aquarium is converted into a vivarium and home to some space geckos

Tagging: So I've combined two different thigns here, Finch's goregous character template and the OC meme. So to those I tag, you can do one, both or none of course! @pastelroyce @dandenbo @angstyastro @shadowthehedgehog1 @daisywalletchains @who-is-riley @twistedstitcher27 @callista-curations @onedismay @tumblersleftboob and absolutely anyone else who wants to try them out and please tag me I want to see them <3 <3

[hallowpen]

Before we get to episode four... I forgot to mention something in my previous post about episode three. We were introduced to a new character:

เจ้าเอื้องฟ้า (Jao Uangfah) - Lady Uangfah holds the title of หม่อมเจ้า ('mom-jao' abbreviated as M.C.) as a daughter of a non-successive sovereign prince. Anil's father being closer in line to the throne grants her the title of "Secondary Princess", while Uangfah's father being a further descended prince affords his daughter the lower-ranking title of "Lady". (I know it can be confusing as M.C. is used as a title for several different ranks within the hierarchy, so it's important to know its distinctions)

I spoke about ช่อม่วง ('chor muang') when it made a brief appearance in episode two. However, I'm glad that the series highlighted the process of how to prepare and make the dish... as it is a very detailed and intricate process. The filing is prepared first. The savory filling can vary between pork and chicken. Next follows the making and steeping of the dough (for color). The filling is wrapped in the purple dough where special brass tweezers are used to create a floral shape. The dumplings are then steamed and served, topped with fried garlic. The dish is plated with green leaf lettuce, cilantro, and Thai chilies.

ส้มฉุน ('som chun') is a Thai dessert typically eaten during the hot season. It is made from lychee soaked in cooled sugar syrup (flavored from pandan and orange peels) that is topped with shaved ice, julienned green mango, thinly sliced ginger, and deep fried shallots. The dessert is known for being incredibly fragrant, as well as its sweet and sour flavor.

We were, once again, treated to some very nice social class dynamics featuring Anil's relationships to those around her. She is willing to do whatever it takes in order to obtain what she believes is rightfully "hers". It's extremely notable to point out that Anil continues to view Pin as some kind of possession, even while genuine in her feelings toward her. Anil is using Uangfah in her plan to make Pin jealous, and she is openly cold toward Kuea... with no regard for any consequences. After all, she can do what she wants and manipulate whomever she pleases because she is a highly ranked princess. Anil is used to getting her way... and having people move heaven and earth to help her get it.

There were also some very important scenes between Anil and Prik that reminded the audience that, regardless of their friendly dynamic, Prik still exists to serve.

I also like that the series is integrating the western influences that exist within Anil's family, given that she and her siblings all spent time abroad. The tennis matches (and the wardrobes) were super fun to see, Anil's dinner that she prepared for Pin, even the kissing lesson...

As always, I am very much looking forward to the next episode!!!
