"I knew I wanted you the second I saw you."

Denki’s addicted to the pre-concert high.

His veins hum with a song that has yet to start, fingers drumming some mixed beat on the body of his electric guitar as he assumes his place on the dark stage. The theater’s dead silent, the room suspended in a titilating anticipation—and the steady rhythm Denki's heart dissapates into chaos when the faint crack of Eijirou's drumsticks bounce off the walls, and the click in his earpiece begins.

Eijirou hits the kick drum once. Twice. Then his hands fly across the set in a flurry, the rolling beat echoing into the packed arena and spurring the crowd to explode, fans flying to their feet to render their vocal cords for the night.

As the other instruments fill the blank space, Denki's hand grips the back of his guitar's neck, on hold for his solo, and by the time the electric blond steps up to the mic, pavlov's theory has already kicked in overdrive.

"Who’s ready to feel good tonight?”

“Dude, I’m on fucking fire!” Denki vibrates, nearly glowing in comparison to his bandmates as they sift through a flurry of fans at a meet and greet. It always seems like Denki and Eijirou are the only ones with energy after a good show—but what can he say? Being on stage lights him up like a live wire.

"You said that last concert, buddy," Hanta snorts, before his a fan ran sacks his attention by shoving a tiara into his hairline.

"And? My point still stan—" Denki cuts himself off with a gasp as a bra slings across his face, followed by a burst of pain when the metal hits him in the cheek. He peels the lacy thing off with an eye on the audience and an eyebrow raised in question, unsure of what to do with the undergarment (other than put it on) until someone screams:

“Sign it!”

Denki shrugs and pops the Sharpie cap with his teeth to sign the crest of both cups before flinging it back into the audience—he can only pray it pinpoints its rightful owner before the meet and greet ends.

Katsuki clicks his tongue (because he hates these events) and as the next round of fans lineup in front of their table, Eijirou stretches like this is a sport, saying, “Guess it’s go-time.”

"Go-time is when we perform," Katsuki grumbles in the seat to Denki’s right. "Go-time is when we're in the studio makin' a goddamn album, not meeting crazy fuckin' fans—no, I’m not gonna marry you, you obsessed fuckin—“

“Oh, you're just salty you're not popular with the ladies~“ Denki gushes, wiggling his eyebrows, and a fan hands him a canvas the size of his upper body. “Un—oh wow, did you make this for me—Unlike me, of course.”

"Okay, pretty boy." Hanta rolls his eyes, before signing a phone case and returning it to an overzealous fan. With a hand covering his mouth, he whispers, “Can you believe this guy? So full of himself, I swear.”

The fan giggles and Hanta meets the blushing cheeks with a satisfied smirk. Denki huffs from the disrespect, crossing both arms over his chest. “Full of myself? It’s not my fault I’m sexy—*an autograph? Of course!"

Katsuki chuckles, scratching under his chin with ink blue fingertips, "Call yourself sexy one more fuckin’ time and I'm projectile vomiti—no, I'm not signing your tits, give me a goddamn paper or somethin—"

"What?” Denki scoffs, chest collapsing with the disbelief that one could make such a lie. “I'm literally the definition of I'm sexy and I kno—"

"Um, excuse me?"

His gesticulations freeze at the passive voice, arms stretched wide and to the sky, and Denki knows he has to look absolutely ridiculous as he blinks down at the next person in-line; who's stood with bambi eyes and such a sweet smile the electric blond thinks it might make him sick.

"I-I'm your biggest fan! Could you—um, please sign this for me?"

She comes alive, shoving a poster into his chest with pink cheeks and shifty irises. Out of all the bras, all the breasts he's been asked to sign today, and here you are, with your pocket-sized poster and your lamb countenance. Denki beams.

"Of course, Sweetness! What's your name?"

"[Y/N]!" you say, giggling, and it's so. Cute. Denki opens the Sharpie and struggles to focus on signing instead of your gorgeous fucking face.

"Anything specific you'd like me to say?"

And he knows there's a rule—there always are when it comes to these things, and it's simple: don't fuck the fans. As tempting as it is, don't invite them back to your hotel room because there are too many uncertainties, and if something leaks to the press that’s possibly career ending, that’s it. So, Denki holds his tongue. For the future of himself and the band.

"Uhm, just write what you want! I...I think I'd like it best if it was authentic and came straight from you, so."

Fuck. Of course she does.

And maybe Denki just can't help it when he leans down to speak, perhaps a little lower, "You want something more authentic, cutie?"

You light up like a kid on Christmas, gasping, "Yes please Mr. Kaminari!"

So eager, too.

"Awe, you can call me Denki if you'd like," he coos, and you nod so quickly he starts to worry about whiplash. "Meet me out back, in the alley behind the venue if you wanna get to know me better. Sound like a deal?”

"O-Okay!" You nod, and when he returns your sign you grip it tight between both hands. "I'll um, see you soon Mr. Kami—I mean, D-Denki!"

You flush from the mix up and bow in apology, and Denki knows he's made the right choice when you light up, indicating you have no idea what he meant at all.

"Row row row your boat, gently down the stream," you hum, sniffling. You’re unsure if your nose is running, it's too frozen to tell, and it has you patting to confirm it’s presence. With your hands stuffed in your pockets and a jacket wrapped tight around your body, you'd think you'd be warm, but no.

The alley is dark. It's dank enough that you can smell it and you're positive what you're dancing in is vomit, but none the matter—today, you met your favorite band. Literally the people you'd die for.

"Merrily, merrily," kicking the loose rocks in the gravel every which way, you enjoy the sound of them scattering against the surrounding brick walls. "Merrily, merrily..."

"Life is but a dream," a voice finishes, a yelp rips from your throat and you jump twenty feet in alarm. But you’d know that voice anywhere; Denki chuckles at your reaction and it has you recoiling with timidity, unprepared for the surprised audience. "You have a lovely voice, Cutie. You should use it more often."

"I..." but you're not exactly sure what to say to that, knowing Denki's heard so many professional voices in his career to last a lifetime, and yet yours is lovely. "T-Thank you."

Denki watches your reaction with a hum and a smile, his visible breath escaping between the slit of his lips and into the cool air.

"Of course, Cutie."

Another voice sighs, shattering the friction that fills your gut when Denki gives you that look. You're not sure what to call it, but it makes you shiver, and that's enough to make you to run and hide.

"...Denki, who's this?"

"Um," the blond places his frozen hands in his pockets and swivels his head around to Hanta, guilty written all over his face. "A fan?"

Hanta sighs again, head tilting to the right in exhausperation, “Denki—"

"I know, I know," the electric blond sighs, waving him off. "But it's fine as long as we don't get caught, right?"

Hanta's black hair threatens to fall into his face so he combs through it, and you try not to drool at the sight of his bicep flexing. "Yeah, until we get caught."

A honk blares and it has you shrieking, to reveal a parked tour bus in the alley once the lights flicker on. Denki points the car keys at the vehicle and the doors swing open. "Awe c'mon, don't be a sour puss. It's a one-time thing, alright?"

Hanta's eyes narrow into slits.

"Seriously, dude! I'm a man of my word! On God."

The noirette's shoulders sag, but he waltzes around both of you to get on the bus. Over his shoulder, he warns, "Denki I swear to fucking god—"

"I'll be careful, I'll be careful~" he singsongs, hopping onto the stairs after the pianist. When Denki notices not you're not moving, he stills at the top step. "You coming, [Y/N]?"

"O-Oh, am I um, am I allowed?" You ask, biting your cheek at the thought of what Hanta just said as you peer around the electric blond’s body. Denki snorts, rolling his eyes.

"Yes, you're allowed," he exits the bus, only to tug you on via your collar. "Now c'mon! Let's have some fun, yeah?"

"Okay!"

Denki steers you through the bus and into a space that looks a bit like a living room, with a couch, tv, and a makeshift kitchen in the corner. Following Denki to the kitchen, you look around.

"Where are Kirishima and Bakugou?"

"Out drinking," Denki tosses, flicking open a RedBull. You wonder if this is always the post-concert routine. Hanta fiddles in with something on the couch, but he still has yet to look you in the eyes tonight, even when you ask him:

"What are you doing?"

It seems he didn't realize you’ve relocated from the kitchen to the couch next to him from the noirette nearly jumps. The green stuff in his fingers crumbles, and you scrunch your nose at the smell.

"It stinks," you add. Denki snorts, jumping onto the cushion to your right. There isn’t a whole lot of room and his addition causes your shoulders to slush between the two of them, but it’s strangely comfortable.

"It's weed," he explains like it's obvious. "You smoke, Cutie?"

"Obviously not," you and Hanta say at the same time. You turn his way, and for the first time that night, Hanta looks you in the eyes—and it's a smile, with his eyes crinkling in the corners, but there's...something else. Something else hidden behind the thinnest veil that makes you cower, if ever so slightly.

Something feral.

Denki, unaware of the crushing grip your hand has around your thigh, huffs, and tosses the energy drink down his gullet, "It was a genuine question! Geez."

"What are you doing?" You ask again, and the electric blond whimpers from being ignored.

"Rolling a joint," he utters, lifting the paper to his lips to lick the length. You watch, semi-disgusted, as Hanta finally folds over the last bit of paper around the crest of the joint, gluing it together.

"Know what a joint is?" The noirette implores.

"Yeah," you breathe, shifting at the new closeness Denki provides when you feel his chest against your back. "My roommate smokes, so."

Hanta taps it on a tray, or what Denki describes as "packing it down," before twisting the tip and tossing it back onto the tray in conclusion. Denki cheers.

"Aha! The joint-rolling master has blessed us! Everyone say thank you, joint-rolling master."

"Thank you, joint-rolling master!" You giggle when Hanta's face turns a ruddy red. He reaches over to pop Denki upside the head. Denki gasps, before lunging to return the favor, and you squeal from being jostled between two men.

"Okay," when Denki returns to his seat he's panting and so is the noirette. He picks the joint off the tray and though there isn't much room, turns so he's facing you, your legs smushed against his body indian style. "You ready, Cutie?"

"As ready as I'll ever be," you huff, swinging your arms in preparation despite the lack of space. Just in case.

Hanta snorts, holding the joint to your lips, and Denki raises the lighter and raises it to the end until it's hot enough to burn on its own.

“Now suck."

You do, cheeks puffing, and you blow the smoke straight in Denki's face. It's...a lot.

"Not quite," Hanta chuckles, and flips you via the waist so you're facing him. Denki whines from the change but finds solace in hooking his chin over your shoulder. "Suck, and then inhale. Act like it's a big breath—you gotta hold it in your lungs for a sec."

"Okay," you assert with a nod, eyes burning with a new determination. When Hanta holds it to your lips, you suck and inhale, and start coughing your throat raw, in a flurry of smoke and tears, eyes watering and nose burning. You scramble for water, but by the time you get some, the only thing that's left to soothe is a sore throat.

"Here," Denki offers, grabbing the joint before flipping you his way again. "Take smaller hits, like this."

Denki's mouth wraps around the tip and smoke pours from his lips so smoothly you're determined to do the same. With a raised eyebrow, he passes it back to you, and though it takes a moment, you try again.

The back of your throat tingles but the glide is much smoother, and you find that it doesn't burn on your next exhale. So you do it again. And again. And agai—

"Okay," Hanta picks the joint from your fingers with a click of his tongue, before taking a hit himself. You frown, making grabby hands.

"Hey, wai—"

"Nu-uh," he tuts, pushing you down by your forehead. "You'll feel it soon enough, trust me."

You whine, crossing your arms over your chest. Hanta gives you nothing but a raised eyebrow as he takes another hit, and you're convinced it's to taunt you. "I'm not eve—"

But then the world blurs, a bit, and your legs hum in a way they haven't before; it's warm and it's nice, and it has you blinking down at your hands in bewilderment. Whoa.

"And there she goes," Denki announces, and somehow seized the joint from the noirette when you weren't looking. Your mouth drops to say something, but all you can produce is a light giggle before it melts into a guffaw that only comes straight from the gut, your hands trying to soothe your cramping belly. Tears come to your eyes fairly easily, and when Hanta asks if you're okay he sounds like he's underwater, and that's enough to send you flying through another fit of laughs.

"I—y-yeah, I'm just—just fine," you snort behind a hand, chest spasming as you finally gather yourself enough to calm down. "I'm good. Mhm."

"Yep. Totally fine," Hanta says, but something in his tone suggests he doesn't believe you at all.

You nod, biting your bottom lip to avoid another laugh attack with your hands bunching the bottom of your shirt for extra purchase. Hanta narrows his eyes while taking another hit, so you sock him in the shoulder with a huff. "Stop looking at me like that."

The noirette snorts, "Like what?"

"Like..." you start strong, but falter under his eyes. "Like you want to eat me."

Hanta hums at the comment but says nothing, and you're not sure if your mind fabricated the quick look he gives the electric blond sat behind you. Denki speaks first.

"Do you know what shotgunning is, [Y/N]?"

You frown, "Like a shotgun?"

"So no," Hanta answers for you.

"Here," Denki offers, turning you again. Plucking the nub of a joint from the noirette, he takes a big hit before picking your face up by the jaw and hovering your lips over yours. You're not sure what to do, but once your lips connect, smoke fills your lungs, and you don't exhale until Denki pulls away. You blink, a little dazed.

You just kissed Denki Kaminari.

"Feel good?" He asks, never leaving your personal space. You nod, and he grins. "Wanna do it again?"

Your hands fist his shirt, teeth tearing the inside of your cheek due to the amount of embarrassment this question encourages. "I wan—can we do it again but without the um...without the smoke?"

Denki's hands find your hips and it's hard for him to contain a sly smirk, biting his lips to move in on his prey.

"I knew I waned you the second I saw you."

Denki's lips feel much better when he puts a little weight into the kiss, pinning you between him and the noirette. You're not exactly sure what you're doing but he takes the lead, titling his head and kissing harder, rougher, so your lips are pink and swollen by the time he pulls away.

"A-Another," you whimper, tightening your grip around his tee.

Denki hums in contemplation, picking your head up by your chin. "Ask nicely, Cutie."

Flushing deeper, your eyes dart to the coffee table.

“Another, please."

"Good girl," Denki coos, and he's propping you up against Hanta's chest. You shiver at the comment, finding purchase on Hanta's thighs as Denki kisses you on the lips again. "Wanna feel even better?"

"Yes," you nod vehemently. "Yes please."

Denki hums at that, climbing down your body as his hands glide from your waist to the band of your pants. You frown, "What—What are you doing?"

"Eating you out, Cutie," the electric blond says, hands freezing once his thumbs dip under your waistband. "That okay?"

"Oh okay," you breathe, relaxing against Hanta's chest. "Y-Yeah, that's fine."

Denki rips your pants off at that, tossing them towards the corner of the room and ultimately, to a place you'll probably never find them. Pushing your panties to the side, he licks his lips at the sight of your pussy, and flicks your clit with a smirk. You jump.

"H-Hey, that's not—"

He flattens his tongue against your slit and chuckles when you shudder, and after tossing both of your legs over his shoulders. You're not sure what he does after that though, because Hanta picks your face up by the chin and presses his lips to yours.

Denki slides a finger inside and you squeal against Hanta's chapped lips. You hear the electric blond moan, readjusting himself between your thighs, before you finally peel your lips off the noirette's, chest having from lack of oxygen.

"Such a pretty pussy, Baby," Denki gushes before his warm lips fold around your clit and he sucks, humming in surprise when you buck against his mouth. Hanta hooks his chin around your shoulder with a second joint dangling between his lips—and where it came from is beyond you.

Once he exhales, the joint finds its way between your lips and he instructs you to inhale, and the head rush afterwards has you digging your head into his chest.

"You're so wet, holy shit," Denki pulls away, lips strawberry pink and glossed with slick as he trades his both for his thumb and inserting another finger. It crooks just right and that's enough to make your hips buck, nails carving crescents in Hanta's thighs.

“T-There,” you whimper, wiggling your hips again, and Denki grins, thumb pressing into your clit. Your thighs quiver with the strain it takes to hold them back and Hanta’s calloused hands skip to your waist after dropping the burning joint off in the tray.

“Pull his hair,” the noirette commands, but you hesitate, hands glued to his thighs. Hanta sighs, reaching over you to tug for himself.

“Mph—fuck!” Denki’s eyelids flutter as he moans into your pussy with a new passion, his hands wrapping around your thighs to hold you in place. You gasp at his reaction, fingers scrambling under Hanta’s own to thread through his electric blond hair.

“Move your hips—grind against his face, c’mon,” Hanta’s grip tightens around your waist as he offers the suggestion, and you whimper with a nod before your bucking into Denki’s mouth without abandon. As the noirette trails butterfly kisses up the column of your neck, the coil in your gut snaps, and you barely have time to squeak out a warning before you’re flooding Denki’s mouth.

“Good girl...ride it out—there you go,” Hanta coos, biting your ear. You shiver as Denki pulls away with a final (and obscene) slurp, grinning like he didn’t just shatter you to pieces with nothing but his tongue and fingers.

Denki’s lips are on yours in a blink—you moan, legs still buzzing from the afterglow as you weakly grope for the small hairs on the back of his neck.

“Taste good, don’t ya?” He says with a click of a tongue after pulling away.

“I guess so,” you flush, the humiliation from so shamelessly digging your heels into Denki’s back finally settling in. Hanta reaches under your arm for Denki’s chin.

“What? Want a taste too?” The electric blond giggles, wiggling his eyebrows. Hanta snorts.

“If you could be so kind.”

Denki hums at that, placing a hand on your inner thigh for balance as he slams his lips on the noirette’s for the first time that night. He dives straight for the kill, tongue and teeth and everything, and Denki moas when Hanta’s teeth sink into his bottom lip; you find that you like it a lot.

Though eventually you tired of watching, and press the heel of your hand on Hanta’s hard cock through the fabric of his jeans. The pianist hisses, and you grin—you’ve got their attention now.

“Whoa Sweetheart, what are y—“

“I...I want more,” you assert despite the tremor in your voice. Hanta raises an eyebrow in question which has you pressing harder in hopes he’ll cave just as easily as before. Just in case, you add, “Please.”

Denki redirects your attention by squishing your cheeks until you’re looking him in the eyes. With dark eyes, he says, “You sure you want more, Cutie?”

You nod despite the restriction, “Wanna...wanna get to know you better.”

You watch Denki’s pupils dialate at that, and he can’t even hold back a groan when he says:

“Gods, Baby. We’re going to ruin you.”

🍒Warning: This post contains detailed spoilers for a phone call which has not been released in English servers!🍒

This call accompanies Victors’s Phantom Date. So don’t proceed if you haven’t read it and/or want to avoid spoilers!

Victor: You just sent a message…

MC: [frantic] Wait, wait!

Victor: What are you doing? Such a big movement... are you tearing down a house?

MC: I accidentally bumped into my cup, and the water nearly spilled onto the keyboard.

Victor: Why are you always so rash.

MC: …it’s all because of your sudden call.

Victor: Does this mean I have to make an appointment first?

MC: I think that’s a good suggestion, though I don’t have a “Goldman”.

Victor: As compared to this problem, aren’t you forgetting something?

MC: Forgetting something? ��did I promise you anything?

Victor: Do I need to read it out to you? “Victor, I have an extra urgent thing that I need to consult you about.”

MC: Ah, I remember now!

Victor: I was in a meeting just now. What do you want to ask me?

MC: It’s nothing big. It’s just that there’s some data in the report that doesn’t add up, so I wanted to ask for help. It has been temporarily resolved though.

Victor: Mm. I remember that the report is due next week though. Don’t tell me you haven’t gotten it done by now.

Victor: That’s what you said the previous time I asked.

Victor: What do you want to talk about?

MC: Mm, what you had for dinner?

Victor: What meaning is there to this topic?

MC: This is one of the topics that Chinese people use to get closer to each other.

Victor: Braised lamb chops and French cuisine, and I tried using blueberries to make a new dessert.

MC: [swallowing back saliva] Sounds delicious.

Victor: What did you have for dinner?

MC: I ate… actually, I haven’t eaten.

Victor: It’s so late and you haven’t eaten?

MC: [guilty] I wanted to have dinner after watching this episode, but it happens to be the most dramatic part.

Victor: So you’ve been putting it off until now? Looks like your procrastination is indeed very serious, and you need someone to constantly supervise you.

MC: I was wrong! I’ll go have dinner after this call.

Victor: Come to Souvenir.

MC: Hm?

Victor: I’ll supervise you while you eat. You can bring your report too, and you can ask me directly if you have any questions. Delay at your own risk. Do you hear me?

This is an amazing dish that combines lamb with delicate grape leaves.

Legion Media

This is the best option if you want to cook something healthy and light with grape leaves and minced meat.

Nobody can definitely prove where “Filling” she came from Turkey, Armenia, Tajikistan and Azerbaijan. The origin of this word is also blurred. But one thing is for sure – it was created during the Ottoman Empire. Currently, it is considered a hallmark of many cuisines, especially Caucasian.

The most popular Filling it is made from classic grape leaves, but it cooks a little Filling with the addition of fig and apple-quince leaves; others with cabbage leaves, and a small proportion of people cook it with paprika. As Filling is widely known in the Caucasus and beyond, and there are hundreds of original ways to prepare it.

A first-time visitor may be excused by the assumption that … Filling you can cook with pork or chicken. In the Caucasus, where there is meat – there will definitely be lamb, in some cases – beef; but definitely not pork, because Muslims don’t eat pork.

For your Filling to be successful, lamb must be of the highest quality and only the connoisseur (read “human”) will choose the best piece of meat. Sometimes lamb can be combined or even replaced with beef; in this case the filling becomes softer.

As for the cover, quite often Filling the leaves are salted, pickled or frozen over the winter. But today we will prepare Filling from the purchased pickled grape leaves and the dish will turn out to be exquisitely tasty, with a slight hint of sourness.

To our Fillingthat is cooked everywhere in Dagestan, we’ll add lots of fresh herbs. Together with the matsoni sauce, it will taste like heaven.

Ingredients:

Grape leaves – about 50 pcs or 1 can of 500 ml

Ground lamb or beef – 700 g

Onions – 2 pcs

Fresh herbs (parsley, green onion, dill) – 30 gr

Rice – half a cup

Garlic – 1 clove

Spices (nutmeg, cumin, pepper)

High-fat cream – 200 grams

Tomato paste – 3 tbsp

Vegetable oil – 1 tbsp

Matsoni – 1 can or 300 ml

Vegetable or meat broth or just water – approx. 500 ml

Preparation:

1. Prepare the leaves – I use pickles which tend to be sour; they need to be removed from the jar, divided, put in a deep bowl and filled with water. After 30 minutes, change the water to reduce acidity.

2. Meanwhile, rinse the rice, pour the water into the saucepan and add the rice. Cook until half cooked.

3. Peel and chop a large onion and fry in vegetable oil. Cool the onion and rice.

4. Finely chop the fresh herbs.

5. In a suitable deep bowl, combine the ground beef or lamb, onion, rice and chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper; add other spices to taste, mix the minced meat well until smooth and homogeneous.

6. Put pickled grape leaves in a colander to drain excess water. Lay the leaf on a comfortable surface with the shiny side down. Put some minced meat on the leaf.

7. First, wrap the top edges of the grape leaf. Then wrap the minced meat with the side edges of the leaf. Then wrap the minced meat, twisting the grape leaf in the form of cabbage rolls.

8. Do the same with the remaining grape leaves and minced meat. Line the bottom of a large saucepan with a few defective grape leaves, put on Filling on them. From this amount of ingredients I got 35 medium-sized pieces.

9. Prepare the boiling sauce – Mix the remaining tomato paste with the vegetable or meat broth or just water. Pour the mass on the dolma in a saucepan.

10. Cover Filling pour the water with a saucer so that it covers Filling good but not too much. Simmer for an hour and 10 minutes. When cooking, it is useful to salt the water in which Filling is cooked. Turn off heat and let ready Filling brew for about 10 minutes. Half of the broth will be absorbed, making it Filling even tastier.

11. Prepare yourself Filling matsoni sauce with garlic, salt, pepper, lots of herbs, then serve.

12. Our Filling with pickled grape leaves is ready. Enjoy it!

TEACHING- [Past posts below]

Why am I still teaching Kings? I explain on video.

Just a few practical things here- We see the heirs to the thrones [both Israel and Judah] and how their sons after them often follow the footsteps of their dads- but not in every case.

Usually those with short reigns- are leading the people down wrong paths- and those with longer rule- are attempting to do what is right.

Asa- king of Judah- does right- has a 41 year reign- and he is a builder. Yet- in times of trouble- he takes the restored wealth- and hires the king of Syria to fight against Baasha- king of Israel- in order to stop Baasha from fighting him.

Baasha was building Ramah- a city that was vital to the survival of Judah- and the king of Syria does his ‘hired’ job- breaks a covenant he had with the king of Israel and attacks him.

Baasha- the Israelite king leaves off building of Ramah- and goes home to protect his own turf. Then Asa makes a decree- and he uses all the stones that were being built against him- and builds good out of them.

The lesson is clear- what the enemy meant for evil- Asa turned it around- and built the kingdom [or 2 cities]-

Just a note- down the road we will read a rebuke that God gave to Judah- because they trusted in the arm of the flesh in hiring the king of Syria- and did not trust wholly in the Lord. But the idea was good at least- in using the enemies rocks- and making something good out of it.

I’ll add my past teaching on this chapter below- and simply end this note by encouraging you- what roadblocks have you had to deal with on your journey? Have they seemed unfair?

Often times they do- But turn it around- wait on the Lord- maybe for a season you will have to put the building project off- because of a fierce battle.

Fine- fight the battle- but don’t forget to get back to the task at hand. You are a builder of the kingdom of God.

The rulers of this world did something- they crucified the Lord of glory- But if they knew what they were doing at the time- they would have never done it-

1 Corinthians 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. In Context | Full Chapter | Other Translations

But they were simply carrying out the foreordained will of God.

And in the end- it worked out well. Genesis 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. In Context | Full Chapter | Other Translations

(927)2ND SAMUEL 11- David sends Joab and his men out to war. He stays home and takes a walk on his roof and spots Bathsheba. He sends a servant to contact her and he sleeps with her. He finds out she’s pregnant and the gears in his mind start moving. He calls her noble husband, Uriah, from the front lines of battle and pretends he just called him to inquire about the battle. He sends him home, hoping he will sleep with his wife, and then David will be off the hook. Sure enough Uriah is so noble that he refuses to sleep in his house when his men are in the battle. So David gives it a second shot and gets the brother drunk. He sends him home again and Uriah refuses to sleep with Bathsheba. So David calls for Joab, the lead commander of his army, and says ‘put Uriah in the front lines and draw back and let him die’. Something interesting happens. Joab carries out the plan but also allows some of David’s other men to die. Then he sends a messenger to tell David ‘we were at the front lines, close to a wall, and some of our guys were killed’. Joab tells the messenger ‘if David gets mad and says “what were you thinking by getting close to the wall? This is a basic mistake that should have never been made!”’ Joab says if David asks this, then say ‘Uriah is dead too’. It’s possible that Joab stuck it to David here for making him partake in his personal problems. Military men do not like carrying out personal political vendettas. Either way the messenger goes and tells David and David feels he covered up his sin. Of course we will soon find out the cover up didn’t work. Bathsheba does move in with David and they make plans for the coming baby. A few things; David was a great man, he followed God as a man ‘after Gods own heart’. David was also human. Hebrews says ‘every high priest taken from among men must make sacrifice for his own sin as well as the peoples’. I don’t want to excuse sin, but I want you to see that all of us have ‘feet of clay’. Modern ministry has a system where we present the best image of leadership to people. We feel this is part of the role of leaders. The scriptures show you ‘the good, the bad, and the ugly’. We just saw the ugly.

(928)2ND SAMUEL 12- Nathan confronts David over his sin. He gives a parable about 2 men in a town, one owned lots of flocks and sheep, the other owned one precious lamb. The man with all the sheep had a visitor come to him in need. So instead of sacrificing his own sheep, he went and took the precious ‘only lamb’ from his neighbor. David is incensed over this injustice, he declares ‘This man will pay back what he did and also die for this sin’! Nathan says ‘you are the man’. David realizes he did this very thing with Bathsheba and Uriah. Notice how we have a tendency to be enraged over the sin and faults of others, but we make room for ourselves when we are guilty of the same things. Jesus confronted the religious hypocrisy of his day when he showed the Pharisees that they were guilty of lust and anger and jealousy, the same root causes of murder and adultery. They wanted strict judgment on others who were guilty of the same sins that they were guilty of. Also the fact that the man with one little lamb lost his favorite, this speaks of the great sacrifice of giving up the ‘only begotten Son of God’. Jesus sacrifice was great because the father gave his only Son. Now David receives the reproof from the prophet and Gods judgment is pronounced ‘the sword will never leave your house. From within your own family treachery shall arise. Your wives will be taken from you and publicly disgraced. The son from Bathsheba will die’. Very strict judgment indeed, yet the Lord says ‘nevertheless, I will spare your life’. This was something David did not leave room for in his earlier judgment on the sheep stealer! David mourns and fasts for the child’s life, but the child dies. David has another son with Bathsheba and his name is Solomon. One of the greatest/wisest kings Israel will ever have. A few things; in David’s earlier scenario he said the ‘sheep stealer’ should pay restitution. He wanted the man to right the wrong. In David’s case he killed the very man whom restitution should have been made to! In essence his sin was so severe that it actually cut off part of his future reconciliation. Unforgiveness towards others falls into this same category. God requires us to forgive those who have wronged us. We often do every thing else under the sun to get back on track, but we ‘eliminate’ the very person that stands in the way of total reconciliation! That person is often times the offender. Also at the end of the chapter David is told by Joab that he is on the verge of taking a city and David should come and finish the job so Joab won’t get the credit. David musters his forces and finishes the job. One of the hardest things to do in ministry/service is to regroup and move forward again. David had some very serious issues he had to deal with. The situation with Bathsheba was not going away. He couldn’t completely resolve this issue. But he still needed to function and carry out his responsibilities. Faithfulness means sticking it out even thru your own personal failures. Completing the task to the best of your ability. At one point they asked David ‘why were you grieving and fasting while the boy was still alive, and after he died you ate and functioned again’? David said ‘who knows, when the boy was alive there was a possibility that God would change his mind and let the boy live. After he died there was nothing else I could do’. Most of us would have been angry at God. David didn’t have all the answers, he knew Nathan was an accurate prophet. The things Nathan said were from the Lord. But David also was ‘from the Lord’. He too had a relationship with God. He depended on this relationship to guide him thru stuff. Maybe God would do something? David did not have all the answers. And when God didn’t do what he wanted, he didn’t take it personal. He moved forward the best he could. God showed tremendous mercy in allowing this sinful situation to produce a future king. Solomon was born from this turmoil and he was a great man of God. Look to the lord to bring forth wisdom from the failures in your life. The ‘first son’ might not have survived, but the second son just might be a prodigy.

1Kings 15:1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah. 1Kings 15:2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. and his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. 1Kings 15:3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father. 1Kings 15:4 Nevertheless for David’s sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem: 1Kings 15:5 Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. 1Kings 15:6 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. 1Kings 15:7 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. 1Kings 15:8 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. 1Kings 15:9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah. 1Kings 15:10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. 1Kings 15:11 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father. 1Kings 15:12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 1Kings 15:13 And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron. 1Kings 15:14 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect with the LORD all his days. 1Kings 15:15 And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels. 1Kings 15:16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 1Kings 15:17 And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 1Kings 15:18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying, 1Kings 15:19 There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me. 1Kings 15:20 So Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali. 1Kings 15:21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah. 1Kings 15:22 Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah. 1Kings 15:23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet. 1Kings 15:24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead. 1Kings 15:25 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years. 1Kings 15:26 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin. 1Kings 15:27 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon. 1Kings 15:28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead. 1Kings 15:29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite: 1Kings 15:30 Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger. 1Kings 15:31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 1Kings 15:32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 1Kings 15:33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years. 1Kings 15:34 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

New Post has been published on Quieteating

New Post has been published on https://www.quieteating.com/luca/

Luca

Sometimes it’s hard to think of witty words to say. On occasion, I do wonder if people would notice my use of literary devices in my writing. Sometimes when my mind mightily wanders, I do spend a few moments thinking about who the people reading this blog are. Yet, after multiple musings, I have come to an almost inconceivable truth.

I really don’t care.

Whether you read my reviews to laugh at my misfortune, for enjoyment of interesting writing or perhaps to find somewhere good to eat, you are all welcome. The motive does not matter, only the result. Kind of like the way that I choose my restaurants. I might hear about new places on the grapevine, from advertisements, or more likely from insistent nagging by my friends. Yet all that matters in the end is that I somehow end up at the door.

As it was initially presented to me, Luca is related to the Clove Club; impressive pedigree indeed, even if I have never been. Fortunately though, their ticketing system has not been passed down to their younger sibling. Stumping up over GBP100 for a meal weeks before you arrive at your seat seems like an excellent idea by the restaurant (interest free loan anyone?) and a particularly steep cliff to scale for the diner (I for one would miss that cash). Yet, paradoxically, the difficulty in securing a booking, monetary (and sometimes physical) pain involved and the loss (hopefully momentary) of friends as they desert you for cheaper joys in life can sometimes be worth it when people are able to say that they have been to THAT restaurant.

So when a new more affordable outpost by an established eatery is planted, who am I to say no?

Parmesan fries. These were not what I was expecting. In both looks and texture, these resembled churros. Instead of dough, think of potato, instead of chocolate think of cheese. Then you might have a glimpse into what these are like. Yet this only hints at what you might find and does not do it justice. Instead what you will have to do is instead just go and try for yourself.

Spiced lamb arancini. Although not as out of this world as the fries, these lovely meaty balls of rice with generous lamb filling were nonetheless delightful. In other (food) company, these could have been something stellar. Instead, the curse of its compatriots meant that these were just not bad.

Chickpea pancake, kale and chili. An interesting idea but not particularly exciting. These were rather like soft spring rolls. Decent but not inspiring like what had come before.

Pork chop Milanese and green peppercorn mayo. These looked remarkably like tonkatsu, Japanese breaded pork fillets which I have a particular fondness for. I had thought that such joys were not to be had on the British island. Yet, I was wrong. These tasted like one of the best examples of breaded pork chop that I have ever had the privilege of eating. Remarkably moist and juicy, the remarkable porky taste was set off by crispy bread crumbs and a remarkable mayo dip which only served to heighten the deliciousness of the meat.

Crispy pork belly glazed in molasses and fennel vinegar. Falling apart, and moist with coleslaw on the side. These were good but paled in comparison to what had come before. At this point, my friend did point out that we had eaten every pork dish on the menu. Maybe if we hadn’t had the full repertoire of pig dishes, this would have been something else but in such company, maybe best to use your stomach space for something else.

Conchigli with pork sausage, tomato, anchovy and mint. I’ve had some great pasta in my day, Padella comes to mind. This dish was one that can stand with the best. With delightful al dente pasta, rich pork sausage in deeply flavourful sauce, finished with a sprinkling of cheese, these were something to write home about. My only complaint was that the dish was of a rather diminutive size so it was quickly polished off. I guess the mark of a good dish is that you are left craving for more.

Spaghetto quadrato with pistachio pesto, lemon and parmesan. I learnt a new word today. Spaghetto, the singular of spaghetti. These thick spaghetto had delightful bite while sitting in exceptionally sapid pesto sauce. This heady mix reminded me that vegetarian food is not all that bad as I learnt during my journeys in Nepal. With the savoury now done, it was time to try the dessert.

Tiramisu. It seems to be a theme nowadays to go for deconstructed food items. Maybe an excuse to just serve something which is maybe not put together with the normal aggregate number of steps. Yet, sometimes it can go horribly wrong as the sum does not add up to the parts. Instead, it is something less. This was unfortunately the case here as it lacked spark and flavour. Could have been so much more if the skill apparent in some of the other dishes was applied here. Instead, it was eminently forgettable.

Baked chocolate mousse and roast barley ice cream. Not something I had previously tried. The chocolate mousse managed to avoid being a sugary black tar and instead was a slightly bouncy chocolate layer without being overwhelmingly chewy. The barley ice cream with a particularly mild taste set off the depths of the chocolate well. It transported me back to days of guilty pleasure licking the mixing spoon when helping my mum to bake. That is an easy way to pile on the pounds.

Warm apple crostata and custard. Yet, good as the mousse was, better was to come. The crostata was airy, yet with touches of tartness, sweetness and crunchiness all rolled into one. An inspired apple dish especially with the touch of custard. A stand out dish.

Workshop coffee latte. At the end what I must especially applaud is the coffee. From my favourite coffee shop in London it was an exemplary way to finish. A great end to an excellent meal.

Luca was a great night out. This far more affordable cousin of the Clove Club has much to recommend from the inspired fries, the exemplary pork chop and the crostata. It was also a great way to sit back, enjoy the little pleasures of life and gabble gossip around so choicy cuts of fantastic fare. And if this is where listening to my friends leads me, perhaps I should pay attention to them more.

A quiet eating 8.5/10.

Dinner (3 courses equivalent) was GBP 34 excluding drinks and service.

Luca
