#a kiss to build a dream on

Spacewives + flying kisses

I like to imagine the kisses were meant for each other.

Fallout and Food - research for all fics

I've been meaning to type this up for ages (I have it as written notes on my iPad), so I thought I'd post this first and if people are interested I can post more research that I've done, since a lot of you said yes to seeing my research!

So I talk about food a lot, in my fics. That's because I love cooking. So one of the first things I did was research food, because as much as I love spam (no joke I miss it most since going vegetarian) I wanted to try and have some diversity in what Cooper and Lucy ate, especially once we got to the ranch, where the residents are permanently settled and food is part of life, rather than a mere thing of sustenance.

There were a few things I focused on in my research, wanting to have meals that could be left whilst work was happening, so I pictured a lot of stews and cassoulets, corn-based porridge, hearty breads etc - but there's no flour. Instead, Mesquite beans can be subbed 1:1 for flour to make a flatbread, and there's a lot of recipes using beer etc, which we know they have, as a raising agent.

A lot of the animals they're eating aren't exactly to our tastes, but knowing that peppers and tomatoes are grown lets us know they can make paprika etc, and the jalapenos in game gave me hope haha! I wrote a smoker into the farm and cold storage so they could a) dry age the meat via hanging, and b) smoke extra flavour into some of the less...appetizing cuts

And for the meat-

Here are some of the meal ideas I noted down-

Meal ideas

Cassoulet of wild beans and meat

If we have agave and corn we can have cornbread

Corn based porridge

Pinon nuts - pine nuts + Jalapeno and coriander could marinade Iguana Nicely

Pickly Pear - can be made into fruit/jelly/fruit cheese (named after the historic moulds, no cheese involved) or sauce for meat

Tacos with black beans and brahmin cheese

Nopales are edible pads of the prickly pear cactus, which can be stir fried

Tepary beans and cholla bud stew

And finally, 10 of my references since you can only put 10 links in, apparently!

Kit didn’t leave her room unless she was one hundred percent sure Graydon was in his. He cooked dinner; she didn’t come out. He left her a plate in the fridge; she ate it after he went to bed, and then did the dishes. She’d like to scoff and say she didn’t feel bad about anything but… doing housework? Without even being asked? Clearly something wasn’t right. -from the upcoming ch 2 of a kiss to build a dream on I "If they’ve been running with a string of horses, they may have cut that lead considerably.

"My dove, of course it does!" He slid closer, taking her hand. "It means I love you with all my heart and I want to spend the rest of my life with you!"

Elora smiled, her face radiant.

"But I'd also like to get some dick."

Elora stopped smiling. -from an as-yet-untitled Airklora+ fic E Elora huddled over the fire, preparing a stew. She seemed content to let Airk think that was why they’d let her come, for now. -from the upcoming ch 13 of Velvet Fist, Iron Glove
