Organic Palm Sugar is a rich, unrefined brown sugar with a deep caramel flavor. It is produced by tapping the sweet nectar from the tropical palm tree flower and drying the nutrient rich juice in a large open kettle drum.

fairest city food culture

This is a supplementary post to continue off of this larger TWST food culture compilation post (as that one is getting super long as is). Here, I'll cover all the new food-related lore dropped about the Shaftlands and specifically about Fairest City, which features in the Tapis Rouge event.

Shaftlands

Macarons are one of the Shaftlands' signature sweets. Cream and raspberry, as well as lychee, are the popular flavors at the moment.

Macarons can be frozen so recipients can eat them fresh.

There are people who collect the stylish boxes that macarons come in.

According to Vil, mixing flavored syrups with carbonated liquids is common in the Shaftlands.

Stewed foods are the Shaftlands' specialty. This is because there are many stories about the Fairest Queen preparing many foods in a pot.

Apples are the most popular fruit in the Shaftlands. They are used for drinks, desserts, jams, and even savory meal items.

Fairest City

There are few food stands in Fairest City. This is because eating on the streets is seen as bad manners.

There is a strong cafe culture.

Fairest City is famous for its cuisine and sweets. Their sweets in particular are well developed due to the city's cafe culture.

Sweets with a pleasant appearance are popular. The most famous of patisseries make sweets which are like pieces of art.

Some sweets featured in famous patisseries include tarts, chocolate, mousse, macarons, brioche, roll cakes, financiers, mille-feuilles, and cakes shaped like apples with apple sauce inside, caramel apples, etc.

A specialty of Fairest City is "cream puff rings", which are cream puffs in ring shapes. They are meant to resemble wheels on rail cars, since Fairest City is located near mines. It is said that the cream puff rings (which is filled with a thick, high-calorie cream) were originally given to hard-working miners to restore their energy.

Luxury stores may offer amenities in addition to providing their services or helping customers shop. For example, staff may offer VIP clients drinks or chocolates.

Fairest City’s hotels have swanky restaurants built into them for guests to dine in. The fanciest of eating establishments are five star restaurants that have full sets of cutlery and napkins which you unfold and place in your lap.

Fancy dining establishments offer food à la carte (ordered by the plate) and prix fixe style (picking your courses from a predetermined selection).

There is a drink called “Diabolo Menthe” served in Fairest City. It is a spearmint flavored syrup mixed with a slightly carbonated liquid. Very refreshing! (This is most likely a reference to the potion that the Evil Queen drinks to transform into an old woman.)

Eric Venue, Vil’s famous movie star father, uses a five-star restaurant to cater buffets for his movie shoots for every 6 hours of work. They also have snacks and drinks on demand (“craft services”), which includes coffee, milk, tea, juice, chocolate, fruits, and pancakes and waffles. Lots of light foods!

Many dishes at high-class eateries are French. For example, hors d’oeuvres might include escargot (snails), foie gras de canard (duck foie gras), and terrine a la campagne (country-style terrine). Courses are also named in French (viande and poisson courses, etc.).

Some dishes served include boeuf bourguignon (a beef and red wine stew) filet mignon de porc aux pruneaux (a pork filet with dried plum; it is made with pig heart, bouillon, and sauce), and flounder poêlé (flounder with an herb sauce). The beef bourguignon is a favorite dish in the five-star hotel restaurant that caters for Eric Venue.

Pork, especially the heart, is prized meat in Fairest City. Many of its dishes are pork-based. There is a story about how the Fairest Queen needed a heart for one of her potions and had her huntsman hunt as a tribute to her; the filet mignon de porc aux pruneaux dish was born from this legend.

The restaurant that caters for Eric Venue has a specialty dessert called tart fine pomme. It is a thin tart with slices apples. The restaurant uses the highest quality of apples (from Harveston), which are grown in a special soil, for their dishes and drinks.

A sundae for Sunday.

But this isn't ice-cream.

It's a carving (!) by Manfred Wild, using rock crystal and semi-precious stones, and I found it here when I was sourcing images for this post.

The website description is a single unbroken paragraph, so here's a more readable version.

The glass (is) formed from exceptionally high clarity rock crystal quartz with faceted citrine rondelles and 18 karat yellow gold banding. The various and colourful “flavours” of ice cream (are) carved from thulite for strawberry, beige jasper for mocha, aventurine quartz for mint, yellow calcite for orange, white quartz for vanilla and cappuccino jasper for chocolate. (All are) topped with a bright carnelian cherry, a wafer cookie of Kalahari jasper and white dolomite whipped cream. (This) generous portion (is) topped with a gold parasol accented in sections with translucent blue, green and purple enamel over guilloche.

Amaury Guichon should do one in sugar-glass and kinds of chocolate, if he hasn't already.

I'm also remembering the time, in Germany for a friend's wedding, we went into an Eiscafé in Speyer. We don't eat elaborate ice-cream very often, so when we do we like to catch up for lost time.

What we hadn't noticed was that the Kugel (scoop) measure in this café was rather larger than usual, so when our orders came out, they looked like - in fact were - these:

On the left, @dduane’s chocolate chip, mocha and double chocolate with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. On the right, my mint choc-chip, strawberry, salt-caramel, vanilla, mango and cream. We did splendid execution on both, but had dinner a couple of hours later than originally intended...

Neither was as long-lasting as the carved-crystal-and-minerals one, but the memory section of my Mind Palate confirms that they were infinitely more flavoursome.

Yum.

A recipe guide for "when food just doesn't appeal to you, but you know you have to eat because your body needs energy to stay alive, YET your brain is too stupid to understand that & of course you also haven't hydrated enough"-™️

The most convenient food shakes are full of added sugar & fats to make them rich in calories, which isn't very healthy at all. Sure, fats are important, yet they must be the right ones. For them to be satiating, proteins do a much better job than fats & they play important roles in our body.

And, like my psychiatrist & doctor said: Fresubin is a free pass for cleaning your bowels aka it's bad. (I laughed when they told me, like, what??? Hearing this from a professional??)

(Add.: They use Fresubin here as liquid food in medical care & YES, I was actively forced to drink it when I was in treatment for my anorexia & it was highly TRAUMATIC for me & I thought I could NEVER drink any food shakes again)

Nowadays, I sometimes buy a shake from a brand & it's hazelnut flavored & sweetened with dattes & uses protein from peas. It has also added vitamins & minerals, which is why I buy it, since I usually have deficits (get your blood once or twice a year checked by your doctor!)

Also, edit seconds before I posted this: I got so many ideas while writing & it turned out longer than I intended, so enjoy ✨️

✨️ My main recipe: ✨️

4 tb of oats

2 cups of (plant-) milk OR for extra protein 1 cup liquid, 1/2 pound of yoghurt (I also tried water, but it's not as satiating, obviously) (I assume protein powder would also help, but I don't use it)

200g of berries (any, feel free to experiment. My personal favourite are raspberries)

1 tsp of honey or whatever source of sweetness you prefer (dattes, maple syrup...)

1 tsp of grated coconut

What to do: Because I use frozen berries, I heat up the milk. Then I put everything together & blend for a few seconds. Finito~

Drink with a straw, straws do wonders ;]

Variations of this:

You don't have to add the coconut; you can also add peanut butter, blended nuts, seeds... for me, this is usually a source of fats, not flavour

Don't like berries? Use a different fruit with the same weight

Swap berries with a banana & use 2 tsp of cacao for a chocolate-y shake

I think blueberry & vanilla would work great together, haven't tried that yet

Cacao & cinnamon for a cristmas-y feel, maybe you can swap the fruits & crunch 3 or 4 cookies...? I'd raise the amount of oats to 5 tb (I want to try this now)

1 big Apple, caramel & cinnamon seems like a good combination as well

I do want to try out blending tofu instead of oats & see how that tastes (actually, I'll try that out next)

I've read you can replace oats with chickpeas (which are high in protein) & you CAN make chickpeas taste like cookiedough...

If you don't like oats, you can try amaranth, buckwheat, ... whatever appeals to you as long as you add a complex carbohydrate source

And if you are a coffee junkie like me, here's my fav coffee: (can be blended but also just shaken, depends on what you put in, DON'T FORGET THE LID)

1 cup of cold coffee OR 2 cups of espresso

1/2 cup of coconut cuisine OR other cuisine, it must have a creamy texture, creamier than milk

1/2 cup of (plant-) milk

1-2 tps of flavour: cacao, vanilla, honey, caramel... (Please keep in mind what you mix in if you used coconut cuisine because that adds flavour already, e.g., caramel & coconut are not good together)

I believe you can also add fruit to this for creaminess & flavour, I haven't tried that yet - half a banana seems like a nice idea

My next experiment: ADDING PEANUT BUTTER TO IT, I love it & I need a creamy coffee with it

The coffee thing is not a meal replacement, it's a "snack" kind of thing. A treat. I recommend eating your favourite cookie with it. Or two. Or three. Or- 😎

Vegetables are also important, Donnie!! I imagine Mikey say- BUT for consuming vegetables I always make myself a soup from scratch & that's working out very fine. It usually only takes 10 to 20 minutes (depends on the lentils I put in) & it's always nice.

~ 2 cups brooth of your choice (depends how watery you like it - more lentils & noodles, more water or you get what I call sludge - you either love it or not)

~ two hands of soup veggies (I use a frozen mix which is cubic-sized chopped, it needs to be QUICK, OKAY)

~ 2-3 oz of uncooked lentils (I use red lentils 95% of time since they only need ~10 minutes to be ready, but you can also use canned lentils & you don't have to cook them, especially if you want to use beans because uncooked beans need to sit in water for at least a few hours/ overnight is the safest way AND be cooked for ~1 hour)

~ a hand of noodles, like ramen, udon, glass, soba, instant noodles... (as you can see, I prefer asian noodles)

Preferred herbs/spices: garlic (fresh or powder), onion (fresh or powder) pepper, chili, cumin, caraway (whole seeds), nutmeg, cilantro & salt (just don't use too much, usually the brooth as enough in it; I rarely add salt)

Bonus: 1 tps of miso paste or soy sauce (if I do this, I cook ramen)

Add whatever you want if you're omnivorous: egg, meat, tofu, funghi, algae ... basically make yourself ramen

Bonus: eat it with a toast, slice of bread... It's not necessary, yet sometimes my brain needs a crunchy texture to be "happy"

✨️Friendly Reminder✨️:

You are not bad for struggling with eating regularly.

Edit: You probably noticed I always think about how to add the three macronutrients: complex carbohydrates, protein & fats - THIS IS BASIC NUTRITION KNOWLEDGE 😌💅🏻

Modern Witcher AU: My Headcanons: (part 3 of ?)

Geralt smells of coffee, caramelized sugar, kerosine, and mineral oil. The sugary scent is from his favourite fragrance (Vanilla Woods—The 7 Virtues) and it mingles well with his natural body chemistry and environmental scents. It’s very subtle but distinct and it works shockingly well for him.

Jaskier is determined to figure out what fragrance Geralt wears but is looking in all the wrong places. He assumes some of the “masculine” notes from the environment that linger on his skin and clothes are a part of the perfume. It takes Geralt explicitly telling Jaskier to look in the feminine and/or the unisex sections (of fragrantica) for him to actually do so and finally get put on the right track.

Jaskier smells of lavender and chamomile. His hair also retains the smell of his shampoo exceedingly well so he always smells clean. He uses solid fragrance that’s reminiscent of “Chamomile and Lavender Milk Tea” by The Dua Brand. It has notes of honey and raw almond milk that gives it a good balancing effect and works well with his body chemistry.

Jaskiers extended family organizes regular family reunions at grossly lavish locations at least once a year. Most of his family besides his parents and a few cousins don’t know about his cross-country road trip… or Geralt. When Jaskier brings Geralt along one year to a reunion at a rented out ski chalet he wants to make sure Geralt makes a good impression. Little did he know, most of his family would adore him and think he is such a doll. Geralt had no less than two people at any given time chatting with him for the vast majority of the weekend. As an introvert, he was exhausted by the end of each day. Jaskier is secretly convinced his family loves Geralt more than him after just a few days; however, Jaskier is more than happy to show him off so it never really bothers him much.

Geralt has a stiff gait. It stems from extremely tense muscles in his hips and lower back as a result of so many hours on the road and not enough proper stretching. Jaskier makes it his personal goal to get Geralt into physiotherapy and at the very least, flexible enough to touch his toes comfortably again.

Geralt’s nausea inducing alcohol of choice is tequila. Eskel’s is flavoured vodka. Lambert loves to get a reaction out of them over it.

Geralt can't have tequila (especially margaritas) anymore because of the near-two day hangover he had after drinking with his brothers on New Years Eve one year. Not even the night he came of age could compare to the sheer amount he knocked back that night.

Eskel's grievance against (lemonade) vodka started after a night out at the bar in his early 20's. He doesn't remember how many times he threw up that night (and he doesn't really want to either).

Lambert can hold his alcohol well but gets hangovers extremely easy, unlike Geralt and Eskel who rarely get more than a headache that's readily manageable with a single ibuprofen capsule. Lambert started keeping a bucket under his bed for this exact reason. He doesn't have a gag-inducing alcohol because if he did, all options would be exhausted with the amount of times he has been ill after a night out.

Geralt’s personal vehicle is a baby blue rust bucket of a pickup truck. It’s a sturdy but rough looking 1990 Ford Ranger.

Eskel drives a grey 2013 VW Jetta that was not taken care of too well by it’s previous owner. It’s a secondhand shitbox but it’s his secondhand shitbox.

Lambert refuses to buy his own car and when he’s not working, he makes Vesemir or his brothers drive him places when he can’t/doesn’t want to catch the bus.

Eskel gets extremely bad caffeine withdrawal symptoms since he has a much lower tolerance and rate of consumption than Geralt, who has a worrying dependency. Geralt says he's fine, but his blood pressure says otherwise.

What are your favourite kinds of tea and how would you rank them?

(you can't ask me about tea and not get hit with a wall of text. so... enjoy)

I don't really rank teas, I think tea should be picked for the occasion, depending on the season, company, scenery, food pairing (if there's any), the quality and type of water available, etc. There isn't really a single best option.

Also good teas are a lot like wine, it matters a lot who made it and how. A simple variety that is processed with proper care and is fresh will be better than a low-grade or old tea of a fine variety.

That said, if I had to pick favorites...

Wu Yi oolongs. You just can't beat that flavour profile, the mix of flowers, roasted nuts and what they call "cliff melody" (basically Wu Yi mountains terroir). They are complex, versatile (some teas can be ruined by water that's too hard or to soft, with these guys it just draws out a different part of the flavour spectrum) and pair with anything. Proper tea ceremony? Perfect. Something to serve to guests with mild blue cheese and some nuts? Even better, cheese enhances the flower aspects, it's honestly better than any wine pairing. Casual cup that goes together with vegetables roasted with herbs (yes, I sometimes drink tea with my dinner)? Great as well.

My favorites would probably be Wu Yi Shui Xian (daffodil, a bit of dried plum and a bit of gentle smoke), Roi Gui (eglantine and cinnamon, roasted notes, a bit of malt) and Da Hong Pao (this one is tricky, the versions of DHP you can get your hands on without being a government official are all blends, so technically it can mean anything, but most versions keep a lovely balance of smoke, sweetness, currant flowers and metallic notes). Bei Dou if I can find it (bisquit, oak, orchid, smoke, a bit of minerality).

Jin Jun Mei. My autumn favorite, the *prettiest* tea in the universe when done right, with notes of malt, rye bread, and wild strawberies, usually still very good when done wrong (chocolate, rose, physalis plants, orchid...).

Dong Ding oolong, one that I would use for introducing someone to fine teas. Freshly cut grass, wild honey, a touch of caramel and what I can only describe as a feeling of cold wind from a lake. Delicate and ridiculously pretty.

Hei Cha, "true" black teas that are more fermented than even pu-erh. Teas of bordelines dwellers and northern barbarians and I am one, after all. "Korla Pear" Hua Zhuan is my latest favorite. Wood and pear notes, one can't really describe it. Lu Bao if you live in a dry climate and let it sit on a shelf for a couple of years is also very good (wet autumn leaves, ink, charcoal and snowdrop flowers). Don't ever drink it fresh, it's awful and bitter and has a note of rotten vegetables. If you can forget it on a shelf for twenty years it's a transcendent experience and I can't recommend it enough.

Anything white, really. White teas are a very special art. They are pretty much tea herbarium. They are made with next to no processing and mostly are just gently dried in the sun, so you get the purest interpretation of the leaf itself. This leads to... experiments. There are the classics, like Bai Mu Dan with its notes of peony, wormwood and plant milk. There's the experience of drinking teas gathered before Ching Ming (if the year is good), the first tea of the year with its gentle minerality that's a bit like the scent of thawing snow.

There are insane things like letting them age for years like you would shen pu-erhs (Yin Zhen is honestly better in this version, if you ask me), I can't really describe that scent, it's wildflowers and autumn leaves both and something that feels like a mix of wormwood fluff and dried strawberries.

There are leaves that would normally be used for pu-erhs processed as white teas and these tend to have lovely cantaloupe and honey flavour. Honestly, the fun part about white teas is often not just the taste but how punk are the things teamakers do with the leaf and the fact you can taste nuances that would be otherwise overshadowed by the processing technology.

Chinese yellow teas. I actually don't remember names, I used to pick them by scent. Some have a "flowers and ink" scent that is very precious to me.

I think that's about it. I can't choose a single favorite between these.

Part 3

♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎

Its been just over two weeks now since you started U.A and you’ve made a lot of friends. Kirishima is definitely your closest friend right now. Yous sit together in home room, during lunch and a few other classes, currently you sat in homeroom beside Kirishima and bakugou to your left. You also had made friends with Uraraka, Midoriya, Denki is also pretty funny so is Mina. Shes always talking and already shipping people together. Midoriya had pulled a chair up to your table along with Denki and Mina. "What do you think we'll be doing today?" Midoryia asked and bakugou spoke up.

"Why do you care deku! You'll probably be shit at it anyways like always" he grunted and you turned to the angry blonde and glared at him. You hated bullies, being bullied frequently as a child for your appearance; Bakugou is someone you have yet to find something about him to like. "Take that back!" He looked at you. His whole face radiating anger. This was occurring. He would pick on Deku like he always did but you. You had to intervene and speak up, annoy him like an insect. "Or what! What will you do?! You’re just a stupid extra, sticking your nose in everyones business" He snapped, glaring at you as his fingers curled into a fist.

"I-I'll make you" your sudden resolve you had. The anger towards him fizzled away as his dark red eyes glared into yours and you backed up slightly, feeling your stomach twist, not in hunger… not in a way youve ever experienced. You’re not really alive so your body doesn’t really do alive things. This was new however, Bakugou sometimes, his aftershave he wore was strong some days and would make you freeze. You couldn’t understand why. You didn’t feel anything but distaste towards him but sometimes, when you made eye contact your brain would draw blank.

“Well! What are you gonna do you damn nerd. You’re just like Deku. A weakling!” He shouted. He reached forward, not that there was much a gap between yous too. You sat beside each other, grabbing your collar and pulling you closer to his face. Your brain froze as he stared you down. His smell of burnt caramel tinged with smoke from fresh explosions wafted up to your nose. You felt your teeth grow as your mouth watered slightly. Your eyes widened and you pulled away quickly after your stomach growled, pulling your hand over your nose

"What the hell was that! Do i smell bad?”He growled and reached forward again grabbing your hand from your nose and glaring at you again. You felt yourself sweat as your stomach wanted him, more importantly his blood. You shook your head furiously, pulling your hand back and immediately grabbing your water bottle, taking a large gulp as you relaxed back in your seat. You never ever wanted another humans blood. Why did that happen? "You damn extra! You think I smell bad!! Smell me now. I dont smell bad!" He growled as his hand again reaching out to grab your collar and pull you. You resisted tipping your head back slightly. “Bakugou! Let me go. You don’t smell bad!” You yelled, feeling your fangs grow again as your insatiable beast inside of you grew. His grip loosened slightly and you looked into his narrowed eyes. “Tsk! Yeah thats what I thought you punk!” He snapped and shoved you away. You fell back not expecting it and fell into your chair. He slumped back into his and crossed his arms. "I am here!" All Might called out cheerfully as he broke down the door, standing tall.

"Well! Students, today we are doing battle training" he announced proudly and everyone excitedly picked up a chatter as they wondered what they would be doing. "Battle training! YES! Deku youre being crushed!!" Bakugou yelled at midoryia and All Might chuckled at midoryias fearful face. "But young heros! You are missing something!" He grinned as he pointed to the left wall "some awesome outfits!" Slits in the wall were pushed out. A box in each with everyone's numbers on them, everyone smiled excitedly and grabbed their own box with their personally designed costumes.

♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎

Everyone changed and you stepped out of the bathroom You put your uniform in your locker and turned to your friends. They looked so cool. "W-Woah Yuri you look awesome!" Kirishima grinned as he stood before you. You looked at his outfit. He was topless, with black bottoms and a red ripped cape around his waits that fell over his legs. A large R on the front of the belt. He had a structure of a mask over his mouth and under his jaw but it was empty in the middle showing his toothy grin. "Th-Thanks! Yours looks cool to! Trying to impress the girls huh" you giggled and he looked confused before looking down at his bare chest and laughed nervously a pink hue on his cheeks. "Wh-what! No-" you giggled as you cut him off anf patted his arm.

"I know kiri. I was just teasing! But its definitely working" you looked around at a few girls who were eyeing kirishima. "Kiri?" He asked and you nodded "its a nickname, do you not like it?" He quickly shook his head "n-no its nice!" "Hey Yuri! Your costume is so cool" Uraraka complimented as you turned your attention to her and Midoriya "its so dark and mysterious, spooky. I love it!"

"Yours is so cute Uraraka it totally matches your quirk. A astronaut vibe" you turned to Midoriya

“Yours is super cool too Midoriya! It matches your green hair!" He blushed at your statement and opened his mouth to comment on yours when you heard an oh so familiar boys grumble behind you.

"Deku cool!? Hah! Dont make me laugh. Hes a pathetic weakling! Like you squirt" Bakugou laughed mockingly and you turned, crossing your arms under your chest.

"Shut up Bakugou! I said his costume is cool and what if i do think Midoriya is cool! Whats so wrong with that huh!" You retorted, leaning towards the blonde boy whos cheeks tinted a slight pink as he eyed your costume.

His eyes rolled up your body, taking in your costume. You had black combat boots on, with black shorts. A red utility belt strapped around your waist which attached to thigh holsters on both your thighs below your short. It held a small water bottle for you in it and another part held a small knife. You wore a small black sports bra which tied behind your neck with red lining it. A metal mask hung around your neck, similar to Midoriyas. "Well! If his costume is cool then mines is obviously way cooler! Im cooler than stupid Deku in everyway, so wheres my compliment huh! You complimented shitty hair and that round face!" He huffed in response and glared at you. You placed your hands on you hips and straightened up slightly, looking up at the blonde boy and into his crimson eyes before rolling your eyes down and over his body. He didnt like this feeling of being judged. He never cared what anyone thought he was the best! No he is, so why under your gaze does he feel small.

"Meh, its alright" you mumbled, in reality you kinda gawked at his arms for a bit at his muscles and then at his gauntlets which looked super heavy before looking at the tight shirt on his chest. "Alright!? ALRIGHT?! You shitty squirt! I want a proper compliment!" He yelled as he stepped even closer, pressing a firm finger into your chest which shifted you back slightly. “Yeah!? Well thats all youre getting. Youre nasty and your costume is alright!” You snapped back, pointing a hard finger into his chest but he didnt budge and his chest was so...firm

“Give me a proper compliment! Im better than all these damn extras!” He glared at you. You stood firm as your classmates watched. Midoriya was sweating and mumbling to himself nervously. You just rolled your eyes at him which seemed to fire up the boy before you even more and he grabbed your wrist pulling you closer to him. Your eyes widened at the close proximity and his smokey caramel scent wafted up to your nose. Your eyes widened as your mind went blank and your anger fizzled out. He looked you up and down again, noticing how you’ve kind of spaced out.

“F-Fine you have a cool costume. Your gauntlets are pretty intimidating” you stammered out, you pulled your hand away and stepped back. Your mind clearing. Bakugou just ‘tsked’ at your response and rolled his eyes, eyeing you once more. You pulled the mask which lay around your neck over your nose. Bakugous smell completely disappearing.

“Whats with the mask Yuri?” Uraraka asked as you guys moved outside to a large building. You reached for the mask touching it.

“Hmm? Oh my heightened senses also make my sense of smell super strong and my hearing. I find though that smells are super overwhelming! So I added this to my costume to help myself. It can be super distracting” you answered, smiling. It was half true, smells can be super overwhelming especially open wounds.

“Oh! Thats understandable” she hummed in response.

"Now we will be conducting battle training today!" All Might exclaimed and you stood beside kirishima and Uraraka, Bakugou was behind you grumbling about something.

"You will be battling each other, teams of two with one being the villians and the others being the heros! You will be in the a tall building with multiple floors. The villains have the bomb. Heros you must get the bomb or capture the villains!"

"How much can we hurt the other team?" Bakugou piped up and you rolled your eyes at his comment. "Now as i explained the villains will be placed on a random floor with a nuclear bomb! The heros must gain possession of the bomb or disarm and capture the villains!" He explained. All Might held out a box and explained we were choosing based on lots.

You got paired with bakugou and midoryia was paired with Uraraka. Kirishima was paired with the boy sero. Bakugou complained loudly about being paired with you. You looked over to Kirishima who gave you a sorry smile.

"Paired with you?! GOD this SUCKS!" He groaned and you rolled your eyes at his childishness. You and Bakugou were team A and Uraraka and midoryia was team D. We were the villains and they were the heros.

You watched as bakugou glared menacingly at Izuku and Izuku whimpered so quietly you barely heard it with your heightened hearing.

"Now everyone head to the monitory room. Villains! You head in first and get set up. I will send in the heros in 5minutes! Remember the best way to win is to embody villainy!" He explained to us and We both nodded as we headed it.

You walked into the room and saw the fake nuclear weapon. You turned to Bakugou, jumping slightly, not expecting him to be so close to you. You didn’t notice. He grabbed your wrist and you froze, feeling the heat through his gloves.

“Listen you extra. I don’t loose. I always win and if you get in my way. Ill blast you” he growled and you nodded, grabbing your mask and pulling it up over your nose. You are definitely keeping this on. His smell is so strong. “You think i smell bad again!” He snapped and you shook your head, stepping back and pulling the mask down.

“I dont! Your smell is just really strong, its distracting” you explained and he narrowed his eyes and your response but choose to believe you. He paced back and forth, thinking of his plan when you reached out and stopped him. He opened his mouth to yell at you for touching him when you slapped your hand over his mouth. he seethed at your actions but stayed still “Theyre in the building” you whispered and he nodded. You pulled your hand away, tilting your head slightly as you strained your ears

"You stay and guard the weapon. Ill deal with them" you only nodded, less work for you to do.

"Do you know what floor?" He asked and you stood still hearing their footsteps. "3rd maybe 2nd" he nodded and left.

You sighed, sitting against the pillar. It would be good to make your weapon. You pulled the small switch blade from the holster, bringing it to your arm and creating a small cut in your skin. You put your knife back and began creating your weapon.

Bakugou stalked down the third floor, stopping as he heard footsteps come towards him. He jumped up as they got to the corner and blasted his palm at midoryia. He and Uraraka jumped out of the way and bakugou stood where the once where.

"Whats the matter Deku? Too scared to fight me?" he growled as the smoke cleared and revealed the hole in the wall. Dekus mask was torn in half, showing his face as he glared at Bakugou.

Everyone in the monitory room were amazed. Kirishima thought it was a cheap trick but All Might was right when he stated he was playing the villain part.

You could hear Bakugou blasting and them yelling at each other. It unfortunately drowned out Urarakas footsteps so You had no idea where she was or how close. Bakugous blasts shook the building. You moved, hiding behind on of the pillars in the room. You focused your hearing and heard her. She was outside. Her footsteps were so light, maybe shes using her quirk on her body.

“Deku, im with the weapon” she whispered, most likely through the ear piece you all had. You waited, hearing her quiet footsteps grow slightly louder as Bakugous blasts echoed through the building.

“Where is she?..” Uraraka whispered as she crept into the room. The weapon right in the middle and you were no where to be seen.

You stepped out, showing yourself to Uraraka. Her eyes widened at the daunting weapon; A dark red scythe that towered over you. You grinned at her as you stepped in front of the bomb.

“Well hero. It looks like youve found me but you should leave whilst you can!” You cackled, trying to play the villain part. It was like acting.

“Never villian. Ill defeat you here!” She yelled back, smiling slightly. She ran at you and you stood firm, reading for her attack but instead she jumped over you and you realised she was going to try and touch the bomb. You swivelled your weapon around and struck her legs, sending her light body into the pillar. She groaned, getting up from the ground as you turned to her.

“You underestimate me hero!” You stated, the building shook again and you both braced yourselves when suddenly the floor beneath you crumbled. You jumped, switching your weapon into a chain with a pick at the end and wrapping it around the bomb. You quickly threw the pick end into the wall and manoeuvred yourself as you stood on the bomb, holding onto the chain.

You looked over and gasped at the pillar Uraraka threw towards you. You jumped from where you stood over to a part of the floor that was still intact in the corner, climbing up onto it and turning looking for her. She stood across the room on a floating piece of concrete. You couldn’t make another weapon. Youd pass out easily from it. You looked between her and the bomb as she did the same. There were a bunch of floating debris and bricks surrounding you, most likely Urarakas doing.

“Its over villain! Give up” she yelled at you and you shook your head, looking around and seeing some bricks beside you. You picked them up, aiming and throwing it at her. She yelped and the floating debris tipped and she fell off the side, grabbing onto the edge as she struggled to hold on.

“never. ill take us both down before I surrender!” You yelled back at her, grabbing another piece brick to aim again at her. You paused, looking down. She would seriously hurt herself if she fell. the bomb was placed on the fourth floor and Bakuogou blew both the third and second floor out.

“Surrender Hero! And ill make it easy for you” you yelled again hoping shed surrender but her brows furrowed as she pulled herself back up and steadied herself. She thought of what to do next when suddenly the building shook again and the piece of concrete you stood on crumbled. You gasped as you fell down three stories, landing in a pile of rocks and bricks.

“YURI!” Uraraka yelled as she cancelled her quirk and floated down herself, running to you. You groaned as you tried pulling yourself out of the rubble, falling forward onto your knees. Uraraka fell to her knees and grabbed your face.

“Oh my god! Are you okay?” She asked, looking you over. You nodded. They had gone too far. You looked over seeing Midoriya with a broken arm, both boys puffing. You got up with help from Uraraka as Midoriya yelled at Bakugou who just barked back words that you didnt focus on.

You watched as Midoriyas eyes rolled back and you rushed forward, faster than anyone could see and grabbed him as he fell forward. He passed out. His body exhausted from the fight. You gently crouched to the ground and laid him down.

Everyone came rushing in and All Might took Midoriya to recovery girl after dismissing everyone. You stood up, looking up at the bomb and morphing the chain back into the scythe as the bomb fell to the ground, obviously fake so it didnt explode. You all moved outside and you groaned, stretching and rolling your arms. The adrenaline leaving your body as the pain from falling onto rocks set in.

you all headed back and got changed and went to your next classes for the day.

author question: what type of boyfriend do you think Bakugou would be?

[feralwifey]

My husband has been out of the house from 6:45am to still now, he’ll be at home around midnight. So I made him ground beef with liver and goat cheese with lots of salt, with some grapes and two pieces of salted caramel chocolate on the side and a whole liter of lemon mineral water with a little extra salt. I put it onto a food tray in the fridge, I hope it’ll make him feel better

[mushroomnoodles]

this ask may sound fetishist but it ISNTT 💀💀💀 is just an ask about candy's body biology.

Can candy simon carry, idk sextuplets? and be alright? normal human body would struggle and have miscarriages or premature birth, also conditions like back pain or bad breathing in the mother. Would candy simon being just candy be able to experience the struggle of carrying or would he just do it normally?

do candy bodies have limits? like pregnancy it's taxing on the body –most when you pop baby after baby— judging by the fact that Betty and simon have like 7 children with apparently different ages, I'm gonna guess that is a maybe.

can candy simon experiment any miscarriage? maybe by a miscalculation of candy's witch beans idk.

this is a very good ask and i love these kinds of genuinely curious questions! makes me think. you're all good! tw/cw for non kink mpreg mentions and birth defect/miscarriage talk. also.. candy simon reproduction (since he's the only candy person even equipped to carry a child)

no, candy simon cannot carry sextuplets. that he would not survive. the way his body is now designed to work is to prioritize the growth of his unborn baby, which means his body uses its own sugars to grow the fetus. the most he could theoretically handle without some serious detriment to his health is triplets.

with, for example, quads, candy simon doesn't need to breathe, and he can't feel pain, but he would be extremely weak and low-energy, along with showing signs of malnourishment (and he would die, if candy witch didn't care for and monitor him closely. he would not be able to get up and feed himself.)

candy simon, as long as he is properly eating, can essentially go through pregnancy with minimal issues besides intense cravings (his body replacing the sugars) and mood swings. the weight of being pregnant is something he notices but it's a trivial issue that just makes it harder to manuever.

his organs are very simple (and don't entirely mirror a human's) and with each pregnancy candy witch keeps a close eye on his physical health. it helps that candy simon can just.. physically replace parts of himself with caramel. hell, it helps that candy simon is caramel- he's very sturdy and resilient, and easily mended. candy simon could get squashed and be fine.

like i said, his main (and pretty much only) danger is.. well.. giving too much of himself to his fetus. malnourishing himself.

candy simon's children are all at least a few years apart, and in between children candy simon is given enough time to physically recuperate (not that he needs much) he can keep going as long as he's healthy and in one piece.

and yes, candy simon can experience a miscarriage, but only by defect of candy witch's jelly beans. when eaten by a candy person, they're meant to sort of burrow through and "take root" in a place to grow. for candy simon, who is specifically now built for this, the bean will take root in his. er. candy womb, where it will begin taking sugars and other minerals needed to become a candy person.

if the jelly bean isn't produced properly or is "off," one of three things could happen:

the bean acts as a normal jelly bean and never "fruits"

the bean ceases growth shortly after implanting and is reabsorbed into his body

the bean continues development but creates a candy kid with defects/deformities

if, for some reason, his body did not absorb a partially grown, but failed, jelly bean, candy witch would remove it. she keeps tabs on his body once he eats a bean, so she knows if something's gone wrong with the pregnancy.

Court of Darkness: Starbucks Orders

What Starbucks drinks would the Court of Darkness consorts and main characters order? Find out below! ☕️

…

Guy and Jasper

Guy always gets black coffee, no sugar, no cream. Consumes only premium coffee blends. Grumbles loudly that Jasper’s Avari red coffee is clearly superior.

Baristas ask Jasper for tips and tricks on brewing coffee. Upon hearing this, Lance begrudgingly informs the baristas to be wary of letting him make drinks unsupervised, unless they want additional potions added to them.

Toa and Knight

When drinking in public, Toa orders a black coffee, no cream 5 sugars. If Toa gets the drink delivered to him and he drinks in the privacy of his quarters—Caramel ribbon frappe crunch, extra caramel, extra crunchy toppings, extra whip cream.

Toa frequently orders one cat-shaped cake-pop for Knight. Knight complains each time, lamenting he’s not a child. Toa ignores the complaints, since Knight says them while polishing off the cake-pop.

Lynt and Tino

If ordering alone, Lynt gets a bottle of natural spring mineral water. If Lynt is ordering with Tino…Lynt still reaches for a bottle of water, but after hearing Tino lament over the prince’s lack of desire to consume anything, he’ll grab an iced green tea. Lynt drinks three sips of tea before giving it to Tino.

Regardless of the weather, Tino gets the classic hot chocolate and pours the beverage in a mug passed down from his grandmother.

Fenn and Violet

Fenn has tried EVERY drink at least once. Flirts with baristas shamelessly to get extra shots of vanilla or espresso in his drinks. Is personally responsible for half of the secret drink menu items such as the purple drink, the raspberry cheesecake Frappuccino, the sour patch kids drink, and the apple martini refresher.

Regardless of which drink he orders, Fenn always orders a second drink—a mango dragonfruit refresher. This drink is given to Violet, who often combines the drink with Luxuran blue wine before going out on a date.

Roy, Sherry, and Grayson

Roy has tried every tea drink on the menu, including those on the secret drink menu. He always adds a few Invidian tea leaves to his tea. When Roy doesn’t have tea, he usually orders the pink drink with extra strawberries.

When he goes out with Sherry, Roy smiles indulgently and gets two unicorn Frappuccinos, with extra whip cream and raspberry syrup.

Grayson refuses to imbibe in the unicorn drink, despite Sherry’s pleas. Grayson on a sugar high is nearly as eventful as Grayson imbibing alcohol.

Rio and Thoma

On more than one occasion, Rio has paid for the drink order of the person behind him. Will happily drink anything and often asks the barista for their favorite drink and choose that.

When it’s Fall though, Rio orders only pumpkin spice lattes or Frappuccinos. All hail Rio, the prince of pumpkin spice. Thoma, conversely, DESPISES pumpkin spice, with a passion of a thousand fiery suns. Thoma LOVES Apple crisp Frappuccinos.

Lance

Refuses to contribute money to the soulless corporate machine known as Starbucks. Nope.

Dia, Jay, and Lou

Dia never picks up his orders in person. Jay picks up a very berry hibiscus lemonade on behalf of his young charge and then gets an Earl Grey tea for himself. The pair then split an order of kale and mushroom egg bites. Dia’s mood sours greatly if the egg bites are not available.

The other half of the secret drink menu not made by Fenn was created by Lou. Often, Lou will simply point to random ingredients near the barista and ask if they can be combined.

No Lou, don’t combine espresso and lemonade. Just don’t.

[differentnighttale]

I am tired of being a sitting duck.

My country is in trouble. And is due to the Rich, the Privileged and the men in Power.

Galamsay:A local slang for illegal mining where the govermnt does not endorse it and since it id not endorsed. It is usaully small-scale mining and the water from the minerals seep into the water bodies making the water.Undrinkable.

My country called Ghana by 2030 at this rate would have to import water and it would lead to eventfully water insecurity. people would suffer and my already broken economy would shatter.

Our economy is already shit.

Tense political climate and corrupted Politian's--Now rotten Galamsay again.2018 banned Foreigners. Now it is back at full force.

Everyone is involving but then who can blame. The ordinary Ghana man who strives for money and yet it brings in cash flow.

But at what expense,our polluted and undrinable water bodies.

Importing water would ruin us.

People would perish and people would starve because the water is so polluted it can't be easily filtered. Even the chemicals would be so pricey and the debt we suffer is immensely and drowns us to the brine.

Our incompetent president had endorsed over 11,000 new illegal miners who ran from politians, cheifs and stool leaders to the rich man all because of the prmoise of money which dosent even go into the ecomoy but slides into the mans pocket so he ca live.Not to develop us but help them greedily buld up wealth that would feed and sustain their gernrations for deaces and decades.

Money they dont deserve to own or touch.

Our river Pra is now the colour of pale caramel and now deemed undrinkable.It has started from the Northen region to the Asante region and very soon this demonic plage would swallow as all and all would suffer.

They tell us to vote wisely but how?

Everyone sucks. Everyone votes their favourite person not the best or the great one. Just the two parties people fight even when there are other options.

Even we the citizens are at fault.

We voted for this man.

each of them want money.

Everything is stagnant, Ghana hasn't changed. Roads unpaved and peppered with portholes.

Our foolish government had imprisoned Mutiple people because of the protest. Everyone now knows that our leaders are greedy and liars. And they've been exposed.

Freedom of speech was surpressed.

From the major inflation to the Galamsay.It is obvious that the president isn't hiding it.Sice he is leaving, let him hoard our money and squander it before he leaves and the country because he can.

Even basic Ghanaians want moneys o they work for them and others don't complain since it is not their problem and others do this how to survive.

Even men who do it legally still rubs me the wrong way.Thank you.

Medase.

We are all at fault.

Protest.

FreeTheCitizens.

StopGalamsayNow.

Stuffed Butternut Squash with Sausage, Spinach, Pecans, and Cranberries.

[𝐆𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐄𝐍-𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄, 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐘-𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄]

Main ingredients

Butternut squash is rich in dietary fiber and is an excellent addition to your menu. This winter squash is a great source of vitamins A, B6, C, and E, as well as several minerals, including magnesium, manganese, and potassium.

Sausage. I used spicy crumbled Italian sausage.

Onion. The onion is lightly caramelized in the beginning and then combined with the sausage. You can use any variety of onions: sweet onions, yellow onions, or white onions.

Spinach. It’s high in fiber and a good source of many vitamins and minerals. I used fresh spinach which I added to the skillet with the cooked sausage. You can also use frozen spinach (thawed completely and drained of any liquid). Another option is kale.

Nuts. Pecans add crunch and texture to this stuffed winter squash. Or, use walnuts.

Dried cranberries. They add sweetness to the sausage mixture.

Italian seasoning combines dried herbs, such as thyme, sage, and oregano. Or, use Herbs de Provence.

+

The Directions

This is a quick overview of recipe instructions along with helpful step-by-step photos. For a complete and detailed recipe, scroll down to the recipe card.

1) Roast the squash. You will need 2 medium or large-size butternut squash. Carefully slice each one in half, and scoop out the seeds. You will have 4 butternut squash halves. Roast in the preheated oven at 400 F for 30 or 40 minutes.

2) Make the filling. While the squash is being roasted, prepare the sausage filling. First, cook together onions and sausage. Then, add Italian seasoning and minced garlic. Finally, add spinach, cooking it until it wilts. Then, mix in dried cranberries and pecans.

+

3) Prepare the roasted butternut squash halves for stuffing. Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh leaving about a 1-inch border along the sides.

4) Stuff the squash. Reheat the sausage filling on the stovetop if needed and then add it into the cavities of each of the 4 butternut squash halves. The dinner is ready!

Cooking tips

Use cooking time efficiently by preparing the sausage stuffing while you roast the butternut squash in the oven.

Salt. I did not add any salt to the sausage mixture, because the sausage I used was salty enough. I did season the squash generously with salt and pepper when I roasted it.

Reheat the sausage mixture. Before you stuff the butternut squash with the sausage mixture, reheat the sausage filling in the same skillet on the stovetop right before adding it to the freshly roasted squash halves to keep everything hot before serving.

“Well, this ice cream will melt if I just keep jaw flapping. *Picks up ice cream dish* How about we try this? It is my favorite flavor too, mint fluorite chip smothered in rich, rose-pink sauce. Of course, topped off with a heaping mountain of whipped cream. Garnished with a light and airy cookie rod to add a nice, pleasant crunch. *Licks lips* Now, if you don’t mind me, I must shovel some of this frozen treat into my mouth. *Hums in enjoyment*

Oh, this is very good! But I must take it slow, or I will get a processor freeze, right?

Oh, by the way, thank you for weighing in on the cups up versus cups down discussion! Several agreed with my thought that they should be top-side down. However, one anonymous user did make an important statement. It reads as follows: *clears throat* My team prefers to face the glasses up because “ it’s so the glasses don’t get dirty from touching the cabinet,” but I think it’s shuttlescrap, clearly you’re right, and they need to be faced down to not collect dust.”

Well, I sure don’t want to cause a rift between you and your team. *Bites a cookie rod, crumbs flying everywhere* Oh, do pardon my mess. But if I may offer a simple solution- just clean the cabinets, that way the top of the cups won't get dirty. *Winks*

Oh, and Alcorian pips in as well. *Optics widen* ‘The cups should absolutely be placed upside-down in the cabinet, and Rat/chet’s behavior frankly horrifies me /lh’ *Laughs* Oh my, sometimes I simply wonder what goes through that old mech’s processor, right? Ultimately, I let him put them away how he wishes and go behind him and fix it. I haven’t heard him complain about that yet. *Face goes deep in thought* However, I do receive some glares from time to time. Do you think he knows? *Shrugs*

Let’s move on to the next question. As well as the next dish. I sure polished off this ice cream! *Shows empty dish* Hmmm… what would be a good selection? Oh, how about some stuffed shells? * Picks up the bowl and shows the camera* Don’t these look scrumptious? Lithium-based noodles in the shape of a fun, large shell stuffed with three types of cheeses- one being ricotta cheese. *Face lights up in glee* Yes, that is my most fav type of cheese! But also, the sauce is vibrant and is seasoned with copper, zinc, and iron. *Grabs a shell and takes a large bite* Very good!

Wow, we have a lot of shy watchers, don’t we? It’s alright; this is a safe place. I promise I won’t bite! *Playfully winks* Another anon asks: “Is Rat/chet keeping things simple with Cyber/tronian dishes, or did he also gather up some organic/earth-based foods to add to the menu?” Well, while our digestive tracts are indeed powerful enough to digest ores, metals, and minerals, Earth-based foods can be consumed, but they do not provide much nutritional value. I have tried a few, mainly those Little Debbie snacks… *Sheepishly smiles* Those Swiss rolls look good. However, like most Earth-based foods… they can give one indigestion and…well…. Some terrible gas. *Covers mouth with a servo* Please excuse me for being so vulgar, but hey, you chose the topic! * Polishes off one stuffed shell and picks up another*

Regarding Rat/chet’s cooking… * Optics dart back and forth* Let’s just say it is improving. Being such a busy Doctor tending to his patients, he would opt for quick meals instead of tasty ones. Meaning, he would eat a lot of microwaved dishes. *Crinkles nose and sticks tongue out* Yuck! They were like chewing tires with how rubbery they were! However, he has improved, mainly due to my teaching him how to cook. *Bites lip* Well, when I don’t cook for him, that is. He can make simpler meals that still taste good. But if you ask me, I am the better chef!

Oh, look….* Shows empty bowl* All done! Those hit the spot! Now, it’s time for some creamy and sweet flan! This cute cylinder-esque dessert is small but satisfying! * Picks up the dish, cuts a sliver, and eats it.*  The texture is silky smooth! It tastes like vanilla and caramel! This will make my tummy very happy, wouldn’t you say?

Alright, onto the next ask. SWSuperior asks: “So, how does it feel to betray the Decep/ticons?” *Gives deadpan stare.* Well, I wouldn’t go so far as to say I betrayed the Decep/ticons, but more, the Decep/ticons betrayed us. *Eats another forkful of flan* So, yes, I used to be a part of the other faction; this is true. And while I am all for the equal treatment of all Cyber/tronians, the ‘Con’s idea of peace and victory depended entirely on violence and tyranny. I once stood behind Mega/tron and served as his minion. I have done countless things I regret- and I will not go into further detail about them. At the time, the promise of equality seemed such a dream! *shrugs*

But in the end, that was an illusion. Sure, I wanted a change. I was sick of living on the streets, being treated like trash, and using drugs to escape reality. The Decep/ticons promised that change. They vowed to rise out of the darkness and become so much more. *Sighs deeply* Unfortunately, that cost the ultimate price. How many mech’s suffered and died because of this promise?

Too many. And while in the beginning, I stood with the ‘Cons, somewhere along the lines, what they stood for warped into something so vile and nasty. Suddenly, being equal wasn’t enough. Now, the end game was to dominate. *Shakes helm in disappointment* What we initially were fighting against was what we were becoming.

And I didn’t like that. Not one bit. *Eats the last bit of flan* I want everybody to be treated with the kindness and respect they deserve. Mechs shouldn’t have to fear ridicule for their beliefs or have to work the streets because of their alt mode. Everyone deserves to be happy. And free.

Guess what? *Grins and shows empty plate* Time to pick another dish! Oh, I just loved that sweet dessert! I think I need another. Which shall it be? *Optics scan the table* That cake sure looks yummy, right? But I think I’ll save that for later. Oh! *Optics widen* I know what I want! Lava cake! *Twiddles fingers in excitement*

Look at this beauty! *Shows camera* Rich, moist chocolate cake with even more iced ener-cream on top! And let’s not forget it’s lava cake…* Cuts a chunk out, allowing liquid goo to flow out* Inside is this luscious liquid that’s sweet and warm, contrasting the coldness of the ice cream nicely. *Takes a bite, optics closing as he hums* Oh, this is divine! But I’m sure you don’t want to hear about how my food tastes this entire livestream, so let's take another note, shall we? *Reads over datapad*

This next question reads: “Out of everything you’ve ever eaten, what is your absolute favorite?” Well, thank you, anon, for asking! This is a rather tough one, to be honest. There are several dishes that I go bonkers over! *Dreamy look washes over his face* I love the full course, hearty meals, such as roasted cyber-turkey with mashed chromium potatoes, stuffing made from talc and calcium, and some fresh crystal beans! Very filling! *Rubs belly*

Oh my, would you look at this? *Pats a rounded belly* Well, it looks like I have been enjoying this meal! Just look at how full my tummy is! With all the fun and excitement of this livestream, I simply haven’t noticed how much food I have been packing down, huh? *Wags a finger* I bet you all knew and were too polite to say anything. Am I right? *Gives belly a pat*

But my favorite meal has to be Toshikoshi Soba noodles. This is a special dish to be eaten on New Year's Eve to start the New Year off with a clean slate and bring you good luck. These noodles are made from wodginite and are very easy to cut. *Hints a smile* The cutting of the noodles symbolizes letting go of the previous year’s hardships, in case you wanted to know. The soup consists of cyber-fish broth, shandite sauce, and sweet rhodium wine. *Continues eating cake* Oh, and I usually put in some cyber-fish cakes and dried seaweed and garnish it off with some feldspar. *Gives a chef’s kiss* The spectacular dish always lightens my mood! *Scraps plate clean*

Wow, that was tasty! And my belly is feeling awfully huge right now! *Sets plate down* This plating is starting to get tight. I don’t know how much room I have left. And I have so many more dishes I wanted to try and share with you! *Belly grumbles* Oh my! Did you hear that? Sounds like my paunch is starting to talk to you all as well! Let’s hope it adds to our engaging conversation, right?

Let’s move on to the next question- and dish. Shall we?”

… ……

Still taking on more askes! So, if you have a question for Dr/ift, send it in! You can send multiples. Also, if you wanted to ask as another TF character- just state so! Let’s keep this mukbang going and see if our dear swordsmech can handle all that food infront of him!

( if your ask didn’t get answered, I am saving some for other rounds)

Also, you can send you ask in as another TF char if you want! Have fun with them! ( I need more questions hint hint… running low*
