You know. More often than not when I think about eating cheesy things I go “bleh”. Like. I like cheese. Pizza was always one of my favorite foods. But I like it in limited qualities. And I find myself getting overloaded with cheese a LOT. Too many American food items have cheese, and on top of that, too many of those are overly cheesy. It is becoming harder and harder for me to find pizzas with the right sauce to cheese ratio. Too often there is like no sauce and a mountain of cheese. And right now I am thinking of quick foods I don’t have to put a lot of effort in and my brain was like “what about grilled cheese? It’s simple and easy”, and I went “bleh” because I don’t want more cheese today. Especially not greasy cheese. A slice or two of cold cheese might be good. Actually. Maybe my problem is greasy cheese. Btw. One of my favorite soups is broccoli cheddar soup. Either I have a problem and am insane. Or it’s just flat out grease plus melty cheese that is just too much for me.

Here's what you're gonna do.
You're gonna go down to your local Aldi's, buy a 24oz bag of frozen mango chunks, a bag of rice, and two cans of black beans.
If you don't already have them; salt, lime or lemon juice and cumin; maybe some meal prep tupperware. Pouch tuna if you like that stuff.
Once home, put that bag of mango chunks in a bowl full of warm water so they defrost. Don't pen it. The bag needs to stay closed. This'll make sense later.
Prepare enough water in a pot to cook two cups of that rice. Make sure the pot's big. Big enough to hold way more rice than you expect there to be. Add a teaspoon of cumin, two tablespoons lime or lemon juice, salt according to preference. Pat of butter.
Boil. Make sure the butler's melted. Stir to combine.
Add your rice. Cook according to rice bag.
If you have a protein, you can cook that now. 20-30 minutes at your disposal. If not, that's why we got the second can of beans for.
I recommend Aldi's tuna steaks - quick to defrost, 5 bucks for 2-3. Lean protein. Real nice. Creme de la crumb's tuna marinade also works real nice if you have the energy.
A pouch of tuna's just as good functionally.
Less mercury that way.
You can mix it in that if you want, too.
Strain your beans. Conserve a little bean water for the rice if you want.
Your rice is done.
Add your beans. Twice as many if you're feeling like it'll be a bad week. Two or three pouch tunas too if you want a little extra.
If you have the lemon pepper kind you can probably nix the citrus juice.
Now we go back to your mango. If all's worked correctly, the warm water should've thawed them somewhat, the heat warming the air in the bag.
Dump 'em in, turn the burner to low heat. Stir until well combined.
Portion out into Tupperware.
You've got a good couple meals right there. Even more as side dishes if you have the energy to cook chicken nuggets or fish or veggies or whatever.
Lunch. Breakfast. Dinner.
Carbs to keep you awake and moving.
Protein to fuel your muscles.
Bit of fiber to push it all through your guts easier.
Citric acid to avoid the scurvy.
Can be eaten hot or cold, and the shit's good, too.
You're gonna have something tasty to eat whether you can operate a microwave or not this week.
That's what you're gonna do.

In the aftermath of episode 91, theories and possibilities are being bandied about. Could they bring F.C.G. back? Would they want to return? Did that little unit with a soul find some sort of afterlife? Could the Changebringer return them back to their friends in some spirit form, on loan until the larger threat to the world, the universe, all existence as they know it, is vanquished?
I have no insight into what Sam or Matt may want for the story they're sharing with us. Aand all the respect to them for the decisions they'll make, but to entertain the notion of bringing F.C.G. back into the game, the Reincarnate spell is an interesting ploy. The spell requires that "You touch a dead humanoid or a piece of a dead humanoid…" - which brings up questions about the nature of Aoermatons. They're "artificial," they're constructs. But we know that F.C.G. had a soul, and that they were more beautiful than a simple binary answer. Every time I think about Aeormatons though, I remember that in Dragon Age: Origins, players discover that golems were created using mortals. "…to create a golem, a life had to be taken elsewhere to power it." Aeor being a city, among many Age of Arcanum cities, of both magic and science, invention and the arcane, couldn't there have been some method by which to take a mortal's soul from a vessel of blood and bone and fuse it into a body of metal and wire? Was it possible that the essence of the soul - the ability to self-identify, to develop feelings and thoughts, to cherish and remember - all of those aspects of life could be retained within a construct, magically captured in carved filagree and/or a crystal core, but made new, a blank slate upon which a purpose could be written, a mission could be programmed? And upon being activated, upon awakening, that "clean" soul might be searching for new experiences.
So what if Fresh Cut Grass, that dear Faithful Care Giver, was already reincarnated from someone, sometime long ago? That they were once a mortal of flesh and blood, reformed and forged into a metal being. Would it be possible to reincarnate them again, should the soul be available and willing? How many times can a soul travel from body to body before becoming weary?
Pinnochio in reverse and back again, vying for the dream of being real, when they were all along.

I finally discovered the name of the cheese I had when I went on a school trip to France in 11th grade (Sainte Maure de Touraine!)
and oh fuck oh god I want some right now but it was so hard to find a place in america that sells it and when I did find some after a little bit of frustrated digging...
...it is $25 per 8oz (not even counting shipping cost)
8oz is not going to last long I have yearned for 11 years ಥ_ಥ
