Well, I have returned to Chicago, but my checked bag has not. It's apparently still in Austin and while they can tell me where it is, they cannot tell me why. I guess when your bag gets bumped they're supposed to tell you, how I'm not sure, but in any case my bag is so-called still in Texas and I'll get a text when it arrives. They'll deliver it, at least.
They ask you to list three unique items in the bag so if they have to open it they'll know whose it is. I told the agent, who had a distinctive accent, that there were two puzzles in boxes, a Chicago Fire jacket (recent gift from Mum, I think she's worried I own an AS Roma jacket and might move to Italy on its account), and a meat cleaver in a blue box.
Baggage Agent: A meat cleaver?
Me: Gotta have good tools.
Baggage Agent: Yeah I do barbecue as a side hustle so I guess I can't talk, I got one in my car.
Me: Carolina? Love a mustard sauce.
Baggage Agent: I see I've met a man of taste.
So I got the assurance he'd expedite getting my bag to me, and also the business card of an underground caterer who does Carolina barbecue.
....and the train I'm on just braked super hard, screamed to a stop, and shut off. Can't win for losing today it appears.

National Fast Food Day 
National Fast Food Day celebrates fast food restaurants and the food that they sell. Fast food usually consists of prepackaged and ready-made food that can be quickly cooked—often by deep frying or microwaving—and eaten; most is designed to be eaten on the go, and does not require cutlery. Common fast foods include burgers, french fries, fried chicken, fish and chips, pizza, tacos, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, sandwiches, and ice cream. Fast food is typically high in sugar, salt, saturated fat, and calories, and is linked to many health problems. Fast food restaurants usually sell food at either a counter or a drive-through. Franchising, where there is uniformity in food and presentation between restaurants, is an important aspect of fast food. Besides franchise restaurants, gas station and convenience store food is sometimes seen as fast food, as is some food from street vendors.
The roots of fast food can be traced back to ancient Rome. Thermopoliums were small shops that sold food—such as hot sausages and bread—on-the-go. Urban apartment dwellers of the middle and lower classes often ate these foods. During the Middle Ages, vendors sold food to people in larger cities such as London and Paris. After 1860, fish and chip shops became prevalent in the United Kingdom, and became popular with the working classes. By the 1920's there were more than 35,000 of these shops.
The term "fast food" may first have been used in America by George G. Foster, who in his book, New York Slices, published in 1848, referred to the fast paced food in New York City's business district. An automat, a cafeteria with vending machines with pre-made food, was opened by Horn & Hardart, in 1902, in Philadelphia. A decade later they opened one in New York City, which created a sensation, and many more were built across the country, leading to the popularity of automats during the 1920's and 1930's.
Technological, social, and economic changes in America led to a boom in fast food restaurants by the second half of the 20th century. Following World War I, automobiles became popular and affordable, and curb service restaurants were created in the 1920's. During the post-World War II economic boom, people spent more and bought more, creating a culture of consumerism that led to both men and women working outside the home. Eating outside the home—which was once a luxury—thus became commonplace, because of expendable cash, and in some instances because it was a necessity. By 1951 Merriam-Webster had added "fast food" to their dictionary.
Franchising, which brought uniformity in the practices of particular restaurants, also fueled the boom of fast food. A&W opened in 1921, and became a franchise in 1923. Many see it as the first fast food restaurant. White Castle also opened in 1921, in Wichita, Kansas, and sold hamburgers for five cents each. They standardized the food production of fast food hamburger restaurants, which other restaurants, such as McDonald's, built on. McDonald's was created by two brothers, Richard and Maurice McDonald, in 1940, in San Bernardino, California. Originally it was a drive-in that focused on barbecue, but once the brothers saw the popularity of their hamburgers, they closed for three months, and reopened in 1948 with a new focus. Besides hamburgers, their menu included french fries, shakes, coffee, and Coca-Cola, and they served their food in a paper wrapping. At fifteen cents, their hamburgers were about half the price of ones available at diners. Ray Kroc made a franchise agreement and opened McDonald's restaurants in Illinois, and in 1961 he bought out the brothers. In 1953, another important hamburger based fast food restaurant was started in Florida, and would eventually be known as Burger King. Not all early fast food focused on hamburgers though, as the Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise opened in 1952.
Today the United States has the largest fast food industry in the world. There are close to 200,000 fast food restaurants in the United States, where over 50 million customers are served every day. About 44% of Americans eat at a fast food restaurant each week, and 11% of the calorie intake of adults in the United States comes from fast food. American fast food restaurants are now in over 125 countries, and the intake of fast food worldwide continues to rise. But, fast food has not expanded without criticism. Besides facing criticism for the nutritiousness of its food, the industry has also been pilloried for paying its workers low wages, usually without benefits. Over half of fast food workers are on some sort of public assistance, which has cost taxpayers 7 million dollars annually.
How to Observe National Fast Food Day
Celebrate the day by eating fast food, as you finally have a good excuse to do it! Order fast food at a counter and eat it inside, or go through a drive-through and eat your food somewhere else. There are many restaurants you could choose from. If you are not one to eat fast food, you could watch Super Size Me, or read Fast Food Nation, or watch the eponymously titled film that was based off the book.

Cooking has begun for the Feast of Fieri! I'm making a multi-course meal inspired by the recipes of Guy Fieri. The rest of the prep will be done a little later today, and some dishes aren't photo ready yet, but here are some process photos from the initial prep yesterday and today.
I'm making a pork belly and watermelon salad, a savory tortilla "cake" made of layers of tortilla and a garlic-onion mixture topped with cheese sauce, chicken-avocado egg rolls with bourbon bbq sauce, possibly some latkes but I'm still deciding if I want to make those, and a basque cheesecake for dessert. There's also a cocktail I'm callin the Chicago Apple Pie, but that's still in the testing stages.
[ID: Five photographs; the top left photo is the brine for the diced pork belly, which in the top middle image is in the sous-vide bin, being sous-vided (I just took it out from its 24 hour cook cycle). Top right is the dressing for the pork belly and watermelon salad, a sweet date-syrup vinaigrette. Lower left is the onion-garlic mixture for the tortilla "cake" (layered tortillas with a savory mixture) and lower right is the super melty cheese sauce that would normally go on nachos but in this case is going to be drizzled over the tortilla cake.]

Snack a Pickle Day
Snack a Pickle Day is a day for snacking on pickles. Pickles, which usually mean pickled cucumbers when spoke of in the United States, are preserved in a brine or vinegar solution, and flavored with herbs and seasonings. The word “pickle” is derived from the Dutch word pekel, which means brine. The pickling process was invented around 1440, and many people were making pickles in their homes by the 1600’s. This was helped with the invention of the mason jar in 1858. Pickles are a low calorie food and high in vitamin K, but they may also be high in sodium. Each year Americans eat about 9 pounds of pickles.
How to Observe Snack a Pickle Day
The day should be celebrated by snacking on a pickle! Pickles can be eaten on their own or with a meal. They can be put on a hamburger,or chopped into a relish and put on a hot dog. Sometimes they are served on a stick, and sometimes they are even deep fried. There are many types of pickles to try:
Bread and butter—part of sweet family of pickles; has onions and bell peppers; sometimes have a waffle-esque shape; solution of vinegar, sugar, and spices; name comes from Omar and Cora Fanning, Illinois cucumber farmers who started selling the pickles in the early 1920’s and filed for the name in 1923; name derived from how they traded their pickles for things like bread and butter during rough years.
Cinnamon—bright red and flavored with cinnamon; sometimes a Christmas treat.
Dill—made with dill herbs or dill oil; have been served in New York City since at least 1899.
Gherkins—smaller and usually sweeter; made with Burr or West Indian cucumbers; sometimes “gherkin” is a generic term used for pickles in the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
Kool-aid—soaked in kool-aid and pickle brine.
Kosher dill—dill pickle with lots of garlic in the salt brine.
Polish—somewhere between kosher dill and sour.
Sour—fermented longer in brine, which makes them sourer.
Sour mixed—sour pickles cut and mixed with other veggie such as onions, cauliflower, carrots, and peppers.
Sour relish—made with finely chopped sour pickles with other vegetables; also called “piccalili.”
Sweet—usually made with vinegar, spices, and sugar; includes sliced sweet pickles, or “cross cuts”, which are cut crosswise into chips.
Sweet mixed—sweet pickles mixed with other vegetables.

Hey this is my request
Where yn and Antonio buy a house and when the sell goes trough they give a house warming party and they get from Jay and Hailey matching bathrobes and from Hank and Trudy some pictures of yn and Antonio
The rest you decide with allot of fluff Thank you
Tumblr media
Title: Sweet Dreams Are Made of You
Summary: You and Antonio have finally found your dream house. So you celebrate by having a party.
Warnings: suggestive, fluffy 🤣
Word count: 1807
Fandom: Chicago P.D
Pairing: Antonio Dawson x Reader
“What do you think, baby?” your husband asked as he walked up behind you, his arms snaking around your waist. He pressed his lips to the soft spot behind your ear, placing a gentle kiss. “Is it perfect enough for you?”
You couldn’t help but smile, sinking further into his embrace. “This is it. This is the one.”
“We’ll take it,” Antonio said, turning to the realtor.
You felt like you were going to explode with happiness—and maybe, just maybe, a little relief. The past few months had been stressful, searching for the perfect home for your family. Antonio had been more stressed than you, as he was determined to shield you from as much strain as possible. After all, stress is bad for the baby.
But this house… it was everything you had hoped for. And the most perfect part? The man by your side, the man you were lucky enough to call your husband. It was literally a dream come true.
“Mommy! Daddy! Look at this room!” Your three-year-old daughter came running toward you, tugging at Antonio’s pant leg. “Can this be my princess castle?” she asked, her eyes wide with excitement.
You bent down to scoop her up, her giggles echoing around the empty room as she wrapped her arms around your neck. “What do you think, sweetie? Is it the perfect castle for you?”
She nodded enthusiastically, clapping her little hands. “Yes! I love it!”
The next couple of months felt like agony—waiting to finally move in, then worrying about the logistics of the move itself. But you needn’t have stressed. The boys offered to help, though really, they were there to help Antonio. His overprotectiveness wouldn’t even let you carry a plant pot.
As a thank you, you headed to the best coffee shop in Chicago, bringing back coffee and donuts for everyone. Hailey and Kim dropped by frequently to keep you company while the guys worked tirelessly on the house. Antonio insisted on starting with your daughter’s room, wanting everything to be perfect for his little princess.
Jay and the girls took on the task of setting up the nursery for your unborn baby. You and Antonio decided to wait until the birth to learn the gender, but you didn’t want to wait to have the room ready. Kim had come up with the idea to surprise you by decorating it, and you weren’t allowed to peek.
You trusted them completely. Jay was the first person you met from the district, and he quickly became like a brother to you. Hailey came next, though there was a bit of a misunderstanding at first. Once Jay clarified that you were Tony’s girlfriend, you and Hailey became fast friends. Then there was Kim—sweet, soft-spoken Kim, who you learned had a fierce side after an encounter during a girl’s night out. Beneath her soft exterior was a woman who wouldn’t hesitate to stand up for herself.
Now, you couldn’t imagine life without any of them. They had become part of your family.
The housewarming party was your way of showing them how much they meant to you. Despite Antonio’s protests that a simple BBQ would be enough, you went all out, preparing different meals and drinks for each person—steak and whiskey for Voight, Chicago-style pizza and cold beer for Jay.
You even got a bounce house for your daughter and her friends, though you should have known that Adam would be the first to jump in.
Hank Voight, the first to greet you, wrapped you in a quick hug. “You didn’t have to go through all this. You should be taking it easy.”
“But you guys worked so hard, you deserved it,” you replied, smiling.
“We certainly don’t deserve you,” he said warmly.
“You don’t give yourself enough credit,” you were about to add more when the sound of shrieks came from the backyard.
“He’s never going to grow up,” Hank chuckled, nodding towards Adam, who was still bouncing in the inflatable castle.
“Don’t tell me you don’t want to go in there,” you teased, nudging him.
“I’m a little too old for that,” he laughed, raising his glass.
“So is he,” you grinned, nodding toward Adam, “Doesn’t stop him.”
As night fell and the air grew cooler, you brought the party inside. That’s when everyone began handing you gifts, much to your surprise.
Hank and Trudy gifted you beautiful picture frames, each holding a wedding photo. “Thanks, guys. You didn’t have to, but I know exactly where to put them,” you said, envisioning them above your new fireplace.
Hailey and Jay’s gift was a set of matching robes that said “Mr. and Mrs. Dawson.” Of course, Adam couldn’t resist giving you both some novelty items—two mugs, one reading “I like his…” with a bird picture, and the other, “I like her…” with a cat. Your daughter giggled, “But we don’t have a cat, silly Uncle Adam!”
Then there was the Christmas pajama set—one reading “Tickle my pickle” and the other “Pickle Tickler”—with red and black plaid pants to match.
Alvin’s contribution was a sign that read “Time Out Spot.”
“My princess is very well behaved,” Antonio protested jokingly.
“I never said it was for her,” Alvin replied, deadpan, before breaking into laughter with the rest of you.
“Don’t give her any ideas,” Antonio whispered to him, but you overheard.
“It’s not a bad idea, Al. Thank you,” you teased, smirking at your husband.
“I’m very well-behaved,” he grinned, giving you a playful wink.
The night continued for a couple of hours before everyone decided to head home. They did still have work in the morning after all.
You stood from the couch and started to collect all the dishes and glasses but a hand stopped, “I got this, baby,” he said, taking the dishes from your hand.
“But…”
“No buts,” he interrupted, “You’ve done enough today, I’ll clean up and I’ll meet you upstairs,”
You sighed, the look on his face, despite behind hidden amongst the tiredness, told you that he wasn’t going to budge, “Okay,” you folded, you looked down at your daughter, who had fallen asleep on the couch. You walked over to her, leaning down to pick her up gently in your arms.
You walked back over to Antonio, placing a kiss on his cheek, “We love you,” you told him.
“I love you two more,” he said, leaning down to place a kiss on your daughter’s head. He stood back up straight and pressed a kiss to your lips, “Go get comfy, baby, I won’t be long,”
“I hope not, Daddy,”
“And I need the naughty spot?”
“Fine,” you sighed, “But I still want cuddles,”
“You got it,” he said, giving you another peck on your lips. You said goodbye and headed upstairs.
You walked over to the room that was across the hall from yours. You opened the door and you’re greeted by the light pink and purple walls, with a brick like patten painted on it to give her a castle feel. Her bed has a pink canopy hovering above, with light purple transparent fabric cascading down like a waterfall.
You move further into the room and towards the bed. It only takes three steps before your standing beside it. You use one hand to move the covers to the side and gently lower her down onto the mattress. You grab the corner of the duvet and bring it back over to cover her. You tuck the duvet in around her, smiling when you notice the multiple different stuffed toys on her bed. Each from one of the team. You see she got her housewarming gifts last week.
You brush a stray strand away from her face and lean down to kiss her forehead, “Love you Princess,” you whisper.
You stood beside your daughter’s bed, smiling as you admired her peaceful appearance. Gently, you tucked her favorite stuffed bunny closer to her side, making sure everything was just right before you headed to the door.
But before you could move, you felt the familiar warmth of Antonio’s arms wrapping around your waist from behind. He pressed a gentle kiss to the top of your head, his chin resting on your shoulder as he gazed down at your sleeping daughter, “She’s out like a light,”
You nodded, leaning back into his chest, “She loves her castle,”
"Only the best for my girls," Antonio said, as he pressed a kiss to your clothed shoulder.
You smiled, placing your hands over his as they rested on your belly. "We’re lucky to have you," you whispered back.
“I’m the lucky one,”
For a moment, the two of you stood in silence, simply watching your little girl sleep, bathed in the soft glow of her nightlight.
He smiled, cupping your cheek as he leaned down to kiss you softly. "Come on, let’s get you to bed," he said gently. "You wanted cuddles, right?"
You nodded with a contented sigh, letting him lead you out of the room. With one last glance at your sleeping princess, you quietly closed the door behind you.
Antonio continued to lead you towards your room, his arm still wrapped around your waist. As you entered your own bedroom.
“Let’s get you settled,” he said, guiding you toward the bed. You sat down on the edge as Antonio knelt in front of you, helping you slip off your shoes. His touch was gentle, the way he always was with you, especially now with the baby on the way.
“You spoil me,” you teased softly, running your fingers through his hair.
“You deserve it,” he replied softly, pressing a kiss to your ankle. He stood and pulled back the covers for you. “Besides, I need you well-rested.”
You gave him a curious but suggestive look. “For what?”
He rolled his eyes and smiled, “For all the cuddles you asked for.”
You couldn’t help but laugh quietly and somehow, you find yourself falling for him even more, if that was even possible. Antonio always had a way of turning even the simplest moments into something special. Sliding into bed, you watched as he joined you, wrapping his strong arms around you as soon as he settled beside you.
You nestled your head against his chest, feeling his steady heartbeat beneath your cheek. His arms surrounded you and the whole world just disappeared.
“I’m so happy,” you whispered.
Antonio tightened his hold on you, pressing a soft kiss to the top of your head. “Me too, baby,” he whispered back.
You smiled, resting your hand on your growing belly. Antonio’s hand joined yours, his thumb brushing over your skin in a soothing rhythm and you found yourself being lulled to sleep. The last thing you remember, is feeling a soft kiss in your hair.
