🔥 Unpopular 5D's opinion?

BROTHER THIS WHOLE BLOG IS AN UNPOPULAR 5DS OPINION. 5DS SEASON 2 NUMERO UNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(but for realsies: a lot of 5ds fans really adamantly act like s1 and s2 fare these two completely different shows, and while i do think season 2 has many flaws and is. Clumsily Written In A Lot of Areas to Say The Least, to act like these two parts have nothing in common with each other is a disservice to the 5Ds' themes on the whole (and also season 1 has its stretches that clumsy and kind of a slog too let's be real. i know youre not going to bat for the four (4!!!!) fucking episodes of monkey duel spirit world dark signer meanderfest. come on now.)

dawg it's all about what makes someone a person it's all about how the bonds we have with one another can prevail in the face of external antagonistic forces both ancient (Earthbound Immortals) and distant future (Iliaster) it's all about how the dead can walk again in many a way it's all about how you'll always have someone at home who loves you. god i fucking love 5D's.)

honestly i understand why ramona’s hair isn’t fried and why she can afford to dye it so frequently but what i don’t understand is why her bathroom isn’t stained colours everywhere

like 300 years after I said I would, I am making roasted roots with intent to give some to a coworker who's never had such a thing. I didn't have turnips, so it's only carrots/potato/parsnip mix with olive oil and spices. but that's okay.

Pink Deviled Eggs

by Ruth Reichl

They’re so beautiful, and you get a lot of bang for very few bucks.

(Incidentally, I usually use Sriracha in the recipe, but like many people, I am suffering from Sriracha deprivation due to the shortage of Huy Tung Sriracha, which is currently selling for a staggery $75 on Amazon. According to the "Los Angeles Times," the company goes through 50,000 tons of Mexican chiles a year, and the drought south of the border has created a chile shortage. I haven’t found another brand I like, so I used Tabasco in its place.)

1 dozen hard-boiled eggs 1 jar pickled beets Tabasco mustard mayonnaise salt and pepper

Once your eggs are cooked and peeled, put the whole eggs into a bowl with the juice from a can of pickled beets; add a bit of water if the eggs aren’t completely covered.

Before long the eggs will begin to turn a vibrant shade of pink. Leave them in the refrigerator overnight, and the whites will be the most beautiful color, a dazzling contrast to the marigold color of the yolks. (Leave them in the beet juice for more than 18 hours, however, and the yolks will turn pink as well.)

Cut the eggs in half lengthwise, then slice a  bit off the bottom of the white of each half so they won’t wobble on the plate.  It makes them considerably easier to fill. Remove the yolks and mash with  mayonnaise, a bit of mustard, and salt and pepper.  Add a splash of Tabasco for heat.  

If you want truly etherial tenderness, whip the filling in a food processor; it will make it smoother. Then pile the deviled yolks back into the pink shells. (A pastry tube makes this easier.) 

At the end, just for color, top each one with a little leaf of herb.

A small digression on the science of hardboiled eggs….

When eggs are new, the membrane beneath the shell sticks tightly to its shell, making peeling them a serious challenge. As eggs age, the protective coating on the shell becomes porous and begins to absorb air making the whites less acetic. (This is why the whites of freshly laid eggs are cloudy; as they absorb air they lose some of the carbon dioxide in the albumen, the ph rises, and the whites become clearer.)

But while the egg whites are losing their acidity, they are also getting thinner, meaning that the yolk is moving farther from the center. So if you’re intent on perfect deviled eggs, begin with organic, new-laid eggs but put them in the refrigerator for a week and store them on their sides.

When you’re ready to hard-boil them, bring the eggs to room temperature (which will keep them from cracking). Put your eggs in a pot that will hold them in a single layer, so that they cook evenly. Cover them with cold water and raise it quickly just to a boil. Cover the pot, turn off the heat and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.

Chill the eggs, immediately, in a bowl of ice water.  This will prevent the dread green circle around the outside of the yolk. (That occurs because the iron in the yolk reacts with the sulfur in the white when the temperature of the egg reaches 158° F.  Although perfectly harmless, it lends your deviled eggs a slightly ghoulish air. )

If you don't want to wait a week, steam your eggs.  It's easy. Put them in a steamer (or a colander over a big pot), cover them and steam for twenty minutes. Plunk them into an ice water bath until they’re cool enough to handle. Roll on the counter.  The shells of even new-laid eggs will peel right off.

Do lim and garak ever have a genuine bonding moment?

OUGHH I think he has to get a lot of his therapizing done offscreen and internally. He needs to put aside his anger and see his father and his contemporaries for the flawed-but-trying people they are. Iskra doesn't really help, but eventually 'if you'd been born into his position you would have done the same thing to protect Cardassia that he did, except worse, because he's smarter than you' settles in.

Garak has to learn to speak his mind more plainly because Lim sees his vague allusions and crafty lies as a cowardly way to hide unpleasant truths. Galactic politics necessitates that he tones his monomaniac Cardassian exceptionalism down, and eventually that may grow to reflect his genuine feelings (but if asked he will certainly lie, so who knows?) Lim needs to grow up a little, see that his parents are also just people trying their best like he is, and maybe go through the mundane trials of adult life on a stunned and recuperating planet to sand his edges off. It's very gradual.

Also tbh they need some time to develop things in common... Lim isn't very well read, doesn't like to talk for fun and is inconsistently disparaging of anything unnecessarily decorative. But eventually he develops an appreciation for creature comforts and realizes that that doesn't make him a bad person, and then he and Garak can debate about what color to paint the house siding or whether or not the azaleas will grow in full sun.

But he very much benefits from some good yadek hugs now and then...
