#Sweet tomatoes

[cubikzoa]

The year is 3027. The world has lost much, but gained more. And some still remember one of the most tragic defeats of the Plague Years…. The fall of the great paradise of Souppe Lantation. It was a place where people came and went like an ever-circling tide. Liminality and community and peaceful, warm solitude.

Travelers, locals, friends, loners, salad-lovers and dessert-lovers, the great enemy nations of Pizza pizza and Pineapple pizza. All found a place to love here. They say there was an entire front hallway of fantastical salad, beautifully badly designed tomato-patterned furniture, a steaming counter made of shiny metal that held pits of soup, a table where focaccia pizza was eaten and replaced in short order by a new plate, like a magic cornucopia of legend… a table of desserts adults told children not to eat too many of, but were happily accessible… an entire mechanical compartment devoted to seasonal “ice creams”…. A large soda fountain, where you could mix and match preferred flavors and refill your cup into eternity, like you were Ponce De Leon glugging the water of a cherry-flavored fountain of youth….. an entire serving table dedicated to baked potatoes, a subject of humorous ritual devotion for many years… and most blessedly, a clean bathroom.

It mattered not from whence you came or where you headed. This place with its electric lights tinted the warmth of a cozy hearth, its plush yet stiff booths, occasionally a patio, food to pillow your stomach beyond hunger & thirst’s wildest dreams and desires… a strange sense of solitude and community. Of artificiality made human-like and tangible by the tradition and community of sharing a table in a place where you were feeling good. Like the fleeting rays of sun as they wash through a window, patterned so that it reflects dough-scented prisms of memory.

A true paradise, a self-contradiction in impermanence and lasting memory, the truly cold inauthenticity of business and the authenticity of the people that try their hardest to make the most of life despite all the bad in the world, with family dinners and a “have an amazing day” and a buzz of chatter and laughter and the clatter of forks. A constructed fakeness of a place and idea and the subsequent real emotion & joy of the people and things that fill it, flesh it out. It feels like stories and laughs at a table. Warm soup that matches warm comforting lighting. Trying not to fall asleep in a booth from the coziness and comfort of the company of family or happy strangers the next table over. Being surrounded by one of the oldest facets of humanity like a warm, snugly-fitting sweater: community and comfort, whether material or immaterial.

i am being so serious when i say i would give anything to be five years old again eating with my family at souplantation and a beautiful waitress miraculously appears with a basket of fresh chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven to drown under the soft serve swirl machine

convinced that all the Sweet Tomatoes in Illinois closed because I personally didn't go there enough to support them :(

So my fiancé just told me about the best thing, so for some context I live in Tucson, soon to be the home once again of a Sweet Tomatoes, us Tucsonans are fucking rabid about this, everyone is excited. We are getting this privilege because we were home of the most popular sweet tomatoes, like out of all the locations this chain had the ones that were the most profitable were the ones in Tucson, and THE most profitable was the one near the park place mall which is the one that is getting reopened. Apparently the Google reviews for this sweet tomatoes that is being refurbished after being uninhabited for 3, almost for 4, years now is a flourishing community of people. Here are the highlights as told by them:

Someone from Houston complaining that it isn’t opening there(hahahah fuck you Texans, we’re better than you)

Someone from San Diego also upset that they aren’t getting one(the poor souls)

TWs warning that those with heart issues should not look or they might cause themselves harm on photos showing that it is still not open yet

Reviews from today(again it is not open yet) mostly 5 stars but some one star reviews complaining that they aren’t open yet

One question in the qna section asking if they re open yet from four days ago with 54 replies

And one person who is upset that it isn’t opening up near them but is willing/going to make the 12 hours pilgrimage to eat at the table of the gods

So yeah, once it opens, me and my fiancé will be going to eat there together.

the things i would do to get sweet tomatoes back 😫

now to my fave minecraft worldbuilding topic

what can you cook? what's edible? what's possible with enough imagination?

I'd like to start with things that are present in-game (vanilla), first, the foods and drinks (ingredients too), having a loaf of bread with a nice mushroom stew seasoned with dandelions for breakfast is an option taken straight from the game

now let's say that I take the apples, wheat, milk, sugar and eggs to make an apple pie, that isn't in the game, but it's something possible to craft

in an extend things like salt can exist because the presence of sea water, same as things like bacon (pigs), cheese (milk) and so on

what if I throw the existing leaves in hot water to make tea?

or since all the dyes have an organic source can I make a rainbow cake?

how you cook things must be important too I imagine, maybe steak cooked in the smoker tastes way better than cooked with a fire aspect sword

everytime you see me post about cooking, it is part of my psyop to make transgenders and gays and lesbians good at cooking, i fuckin love cookin and when you get to feed you and your loved ones something delicious by the end of it you feel like a god damned evil genius who can never be stopped (also mmm stew)

What would you choose? :0c

(note: original image is from HERE (link) - but I edited it to add a wider variety of options.. also added $3 extra to the total, even though I know that makes it more uneven lol, I thought if you're adding 10 whole extra items, the money to spend should at least be increased slightly, if that makes sense..)

könig is probably the type of person to put berries (blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries) and sweet maple syrup all over his french toast.

putting tomato sauce/ketchup is the ONLY correct answer 🍅
