second attempt, this time with my niblings, and it had some interesting curveballs

so this time we tried to do it with butterfly pea tea for colour, and lemon juice for flavour and so the kids could see the colour change.

I did some of the tea with water yesterday and it was blue, and today when it was just tea water and then the lemon juice in the pan the colours did the thing.

but then, we added the agar agar and the sugar, and got the order mixed up, but I didn’t think that would make heaps of difference, but it seems to be less structured.

but also, it turned black!

we added some silver and gold sugar crystals to hopefully help with the rocky texture, but it looks like our candy rocks will be very very rock-like. the kids are calling them ‘space rocks’ which is about right, lmao

and yeah they are setting far slower and more reluctantly this batch. I wonder if I mucked up my maths with the lemon juice and water but I didn’t think so?

so tearing the jelly up was a bit weird, which is a shame because I was sure the kids would like that stage.

so I put the pieces on a wire rack to drain off the liquid, and we’ll see what happens.

I left half in the bowl. maybe overnight in the fridge will help ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I made a whole post about making Kohakutou crystals but…it seems not to exist so I guess I didn’t click post? I swear I did though?!

anyway for the record, this year’s brithday experiment was some rose jam flavoured rocks, and I succeeded

the agar agar I was able t find was from indonesia and only had 7g in the packet, so I halved the recipe that I had

7g agar agar

196g water

340g sugar

I steeped the hot water in dried rose petals before straining to use, and I included some lemon juice in the liquid amount.

then I added some rosewater, orange blossom water and lemon oleo saccharum afterwards, along with the colouring and some metallic coloured sugar to make it a little glittery

the dried flowers floated to the top, and the coloured sugar that didn’t dissolve sunk to the bottom, forming a bit of a crust, which makes it look a bit more rocky when it goes right

it was ready to tear up within an hour or two rather than the four hours I was led to expect. perhaps it was the smaller amount

I did a range of sizes for science

you can see the colour getting darker and the flavour matured beautifully as well

obligatory asmr, for the cronch test on day 4

YOU HAVE A POLTEAGEIST POT?

I do!!!! It's a bit hard to tell from photos, but the ghost part of Polteageist is raised, so it looks like it's coming out of a hole in the pot.

TAKIISHI CHIKA IN CHAPTER 153

[alectoperdita]

jou makes kaiba a character bento of blue eyes. kaiba believes this is a murder attempt via starvation because how can he eat blue eyes

Anon, I'm not sure if this was what you were hoping for, but here we go.

---

"Fubuki, if you don't put on your jacket this minute, I'm punting you out the door like a football!"

A child's screeching echoed through the high-ceiling foyer, followed by two sets of footsteps pounding across the marble.

Seto listened, barely straining to make out the sound of his husband giving chase to their four-year-old son. There was Fubuki's obstinate "no!", the clatter of some piece of furniture, and Katsuya's bitten-off swearing. After a beat, he considered getting up and checking on them.

But then, bright amber eyes, framed by golden blond bangs, peered up from his lap. Asuka, swinging her legs gently, reached out with one chubby hand to offer him a mini-sausage off her plate.

"They'll sort it out," he muttered, both to himself and her.

Her response was to wave the sausage more insistently. The beginning of a pout formed on her stained lips.

Quickly, he bent over and took a small bite. This was their bargain: she finished her breakfast as long as he ate with her. The taste was a bit on the bland side. But she was three, so they didn't want to flavor her food too heavily.

Beaming with pride, his daughter stuffed the rest into her mouth. Her cheeks puffed out, reminiscent of a chipmunk.

Seto couldn't help but grin at the picture he made. His hand was halfway into his pocket for his phone before he caught himself. God, he was becoming one of those parents.

Thankfully, his husband's reappearance in the kitchen door restored his dignity. Katsuya's hair was tousled and sticking out in every which way, reminding Seto of their youth. He leaned heavily against the door jamb, using the frame to support himself and the bundle hefted under one arm. Fubuki kicked his feet wildly as they dangled in the air, but it wasn't in a tantrum. He enjoyed being carried like a sack of potatoes for some reason.

"Got 'em," Katsuya grunted, pushing his bangs out of his eyes. It was a dreadfully handsome look on him. "Is Asuka ready to go?"

Seto plucked the napkin off the dining table and wiped her face clean. As soon as he finished, he invited her to wordlessly hop down from his lap. Without further prompting, she lifted both arms so he could help her into her jacket.

"Now she is," he announced and stood.

Asuka laughed and twirled, before running to join Katsuya and Fubuki.

As much as Seto could spend the rest of the day staring at his impossible family, the kids were due at kindergarten and he had an early meeting. While Katsuya tidied the children's appearance, zipping up Fubuki's jacket resoundingly so he couldn't throw it off, Seto brought over the bentos from the kitchen counter.

He arched a questioning eyebrow at his husband as he handed them off. "Don't you think you've overdone it?"

In addition to each child's usual bento box, there was a two-tiered one. Then again, Katsuya always slipped comfortably into the role of house husband when it was the off-season for the pro-circuit.

Warmth spread through Seto's body when their hands brushed. Katsuya's fingers purposefully lingered on his wrists. Nor did he let go after he closed his palms over the back of Seto's hands, drawing him in for a short kiss.

Katsuya smiled. "Nah, the big one's for you."

"You didn't have to."

"Someone says you've been skipping lunch lately. So now you don't have an excuse."

Seto sighed. "Isono."

"I'm not giving up the identity of my mole that easily." Katsuya gave a wink.

Another kiss, a muttered goodbye; and then they were gone. The mansion always felt eerily quiet without them.

*****

Meetings were the bane of his existence. On days like today, when they were packed back-to-back, Seto longed for a megalomaniac or two. At least they had the decency to settle matters, even if it was of life and death, through Duel Monsters.

He collapsed into his office chair for the first time since he arrived hours ago. At the moment, he couldn't bear to check his inbox and see how many messages awaited his attention.

Likely too many.

For now, he wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet of his private office.

Eventually, his gaze roamed across his desk's surface: paperwork, pens, photos of his family, a black two-tier bento box.

He straightened.

He'd completely forgotten about the lunch Katsuya made for him until now.

Well, it was lunch time. He didn't have an excuse now as Katsuya said earlier. And he so hated to disappoint his husband. Plus, he liked Katsuya's cooking.

The top level contained an assortment of side dishes: a small salad, stewed beef and vegetables, and a couple of the same hot dog octopuses Katsuya always made for the children's bentos. But the tier below that? Seto gawked at what he uncovered.

Katsuya had been making character bento for Fubuki and Asuka since the start of autumn. The kids loved showing off their colorful arrangements to their classmates. Over time, Seto too had watched his husband get increasingly more creative and elaborate with their lunches.

It appeared he was no exception.

A rather faithful depiction of his ace monster stared back at him. Shaped out of suspiciously blue-tinted rice, his Blue-Eyes roared triumphantly at a background of black rice. It was mostly the head, neck, and upper shoulders with a hint of the wings, but Katsuya had captured its essence, using carefully cut pieces of dried seaweed to fill in the finer details and contour.

Seto wondered how long it took him to make this.

He snapped a photo for posterity. Then he tested his husband.

I think your plan may have backfired.

Katsuya responded instantly.

Why's that?

There's no way I can wreck her majesty.

I love you, even if you are a huge dork.
