Obrozenectvo, podělte se se mnou o zrady anglického jazyka. Já půjdu první.

Perník ≠ gingerbread.

Již od raných školních let během vánočního období lekce angličtiny obsahovaly relevantní slovíčka, jedním z nich prominentně gingerbread. A obrázky k nim dané vypadaly jako naše vánoční perníčky! I ve filmech byl překlad stejný. Tak jsem žila v přesvědčení, že jsou jedno a to samé, a že se budou chuťově lišit asi tak, jako když ochutnáte jednou perníček od babičky a jednou od souseda. Pořád ale nepopiratelně stejné.

Hovnajs.

Představte si moje překvapení, když jsem před rokem měla poprvé (ne)štěstí ochutnat anglické vánoční perníčky. A ještě k tomu na kameru do reklamy, takže jsem nemohla ani vyjádřit svoje pocity. Myslela jsem si, že vím přesně co čekat.

Vždycky jsem si říkala, proč, do prdele, ginger. Nikdy jsem v perníčkách zázvor nepociťovala, ať už byly od kohokoli, domácí či kupované, nebo i v jiné formě, jako třeba ta měkká perníková buchta (🎶maminčin perník, však ho znáte, ten nikde jinde nepečou🎶). Řekněme, že jsem byla poučena.

Základ je dost podobný. Představte si perníček, ale do těsta jste omylem vysypali celý sáček sušeného zázvoru. A místo toho, abyste se ho pokusili vybrat, radši jste ho zamíchali, aby to nikdo neviděl.

Ano ano, vím, že je to velmi příbuzné a jde spíš o náš místní ekvivalent než doslovný překlad, ale i tak jsem si přišla zrazená. Jsem hnidopich a chci se podělit s dalšími hnidopichy.

Tohle je moje aktuální hovězí, ale za zmínku stojí také:

Tvaroh ≠ cream cheese (VELKÁ zrada, když jsem chtěla poprvé před lety péct cheesecake)

Brusinky ≠ cranberries (ok jsou příbuzný ale není to totéž)

Kmín ≠ cumin (znovu velmi podobné ale není to úplně to samé, moje chyba bo jsem si myslela že když je to tak podobný slovo, musí to být stejný)

Třtinový cukr ≠ Brown sugar (ano, je hnědý. Ne, není to ten co po vás chtějí v receptu na cookies. Věřte mi.)

OOH i have another but you can definitely ignore this one or save it for later or something.

“Wait! It’s just me!”

Steve wasn’t hiding.

He was just…staying in his bedroom while everyone else was downstairs.

Hellfire was meeting at his house for the first time. The kids had been here plenty, that wasn’t the problem.

Eddie’s other friends, the guys from his band, they were here.

And they made it pretty obvious they didn’t care much for Steve.

Steve still made sure they felt welcomed, made sure they had food and drinks, that the temperature was fine.

He’d even got them all new dice as a welcome to his home gift.

They weren’t rude, but he could tell their quiet thank yous were only out of obligation.

He’d been up here ever since.

Every once in a while he heard them all talking or heard Eddie getting louder.

He just stayed in his bed.

He finally gained some courage to go down and make sure everyone was okay on drinks and snacks, but apparently, that was a bad idea.

“We never pause the game. Why are you here?” Gareth asked.

“Dude, you said this place would be perfect,” Jeff added.

“Guys, Steve is just a caregiver, ya know? Likes being able to do this stuff. He’s good at it,” Dustin said.

Steve knew he meant well, even preened a little at the compliment, but the rest of the group didn’t seem to think it was a positive thing.

“What would be good is he didn’t bother us,” Grant said.

Steve left the room after that, didn’t want to be a bother, but also didn’t want them to see the hurt he knew was painted on his face.

He sat in his room again, staring at the wall.

“Steve!” Eddie’s voice came from the other side of the door. He heard a couple other voices not far off.

“Go away! Just go play your game guys.”

Eddie opened the door a crack.

“I don’t want everyone to be up here, Eds.”

Steve started to push the door closed, but Eddie pushed back.

“Wait! It’s just me.”

“Is it?”

He heard footsteps walking away and back down the stairs.

“Yeah, just me.”

“Fine.”

Eddie sat with him for a minute, holding his hand.

It was a nice reminder that no matter what, Eddie loved him. Eddie loved the way he took care of people.

“The guys wanna apologize. They didn’t mean to be shitty.”

“They did.”

“No. I think they’re just trying to wrap their head around being here and you and us.”

“So they decide to act like I’m a…newtsance?”

“You’re not a nuisance, sweetheart. They don’t actually think that. In fact, they all really loved the cranberry ginger ale punch you made, maybe you could get us all fresh cups?”

“Really? They did?”

“Yeah,” Eddie beamed at him, kissed his nose. “And you can watch the rest of the game if you want to. They’ll be nice.”

“Okay. Um is it okay if I bake cookies instead?”

“Anything you wanna do is fine, love. But they’re gonna apologize to you first. You don’t deserve to be treated like that, especially not in your own home.”

The guys did apologize, and it did seem genuine. They still were a little awkward, but when Steve brought fresh baked chocolate brownie cookies into the dining room, they got over it quickly.

Girl the way I want you to drop your working out routine and diet…

Hiiii okay very late answer below SORRY

CW exercise, food/diet, all that. If you have an issue with me posting or talking about this, dont click the read more and then complain about it, capiche? :))))  just move along, nothing to see here

I know a lot of people would answer stuff like this with “i am not a professional” however i am actually an exercise professional with several certifications and licenses, so this is not me giving advice or telling you what you should do, this is just what i personally do. i have a very positive relationship to food and exercise after working out for a decade so im pretty laid back about all of it  

Exercise wise, i lift 3x a week and i pole dance 1-2x a week. As for lifting, i do full body every time, all free weights and no machines. I dont do cardio or abs cause i think its boring and i dont track how many calories i burn cause i dont care. I find it boring to do upper body/leg days so i prefer doing a mix. My set and rep range is anywhere from 3x3 to 4x18 depending on the exercise. I do progressive overload, meaning i do the same 3 sets of different exercises every week but it gets a little more intense every time either in terms of weight increasing or reps increasing. The only exercise i do twice a week is hip thrust. My goals are to build strength and muscle and this has worked well for me so im happy. Sometimes i ditch working out or pole to write but i stay mostly consistent 

Diet wise, i have celiac disease and i dont eat out very often, so those are kinda the two main things. I make all my own food cause i have no other options haha 

The best diet advice i ever received was to have a source of protein, fat and carbs in every meal and thats what i follow. This is gonna sound boring but the things i eat the most are gf bread, eggs, chicken sausages, generic brand nutella, greek yogurt, granola, berries, different varieties of pasta, chicken, fish, beef, prawns, rice, veggies, granola bars, dark chocolate and ice cream (a pint can last me a long time cause i find it v filling for some reason). I usually make the same type of stuff my mom made growing up which is kind of a mix of different stuff. When i have the time, i like making lebanese or palestinian food (my fav food ever is shish tawook), and I also like to put toum (whipped garlic sauce) on everything. When i go out with my friends or order in, i tend to get fried chicken, sushi or middle eastern food. i love candy, cake, cookies and all other desserts yum yum yum i eat dessert every day and idc if anyone has an issue w it

Im the type who loses my appetite if im stressed, and my metabolism has gotten high from working out for so long that it can be difficult to eat enough, especially protein, and that always leaves me feeling v tired and shitty the next day cause i cant sustain the energy expenditure, so i try to make my meals very calorically dense cause theres just a limit to how much i can chew and swallow. i often drink blackberry/cranberry canada dry ginger ale cause they fucking SLAP and also its extra carbs i dont have to shove down my gullet

Thats pretty much it. I take creatine but thats the only supplement i take cause protein powder tastes terrible. I got an ask about creatine and will respond to that soon as well :p

The Powers That Be

Summary: When Liverpool hires Jonathan Powell as their new doctor, Klopp notices something familiar about Jonathan’s only daughter.

Tags: @millythegoat, @alissonbecksfan234, @moomin279, @lfc-fanfiction

When news came in that Jonathan Power, former FA doctor, would join Liverpool’s medical department, the staff decided to throw a small cocktail party. With all the injuries that had piled up recently, having a new doctor come in was a dream come true.

The coaching staff decorated the auditorium with red, gold and green decorations—it was getting close to Christmas, after all—and Nemmer prepared hors d'oeuvres. Everybody chipped in to prepare the drinks—non-alcoholic, of course, because nobody wanted to deal with a bunch of hangovers the following morning.

“So when’s he coming?” Chelsea asked, taking a sip from her cranberry spritz. “It better be soon, because us medics can’t handle the injury list by ourselves for much longer!”

“He arrives tomorrow.” Lijnders reached for a Lebkuchen, adding it to his mounting plate of food. “So by tomorrow, there’ll be six medics: you, Vera, Robert, Jim, Kerry and Jonathan.”

Klopp nodded in confirmation. He sneakily stole one of Lijnders’ cookies from his plate, avoiding a slap from the Dutchman. “He’s coming with his wife and daughter. I think I met him before, though.”

“You met him before? Where?” Kanchana buzzed with energy, bouncing on the balls of her feet. The Thai woman had a low sugar tolerance, and considering how many sugar cookies had disappeared from the platter, she’d clearly overdone it. “In the park? On the beach?”

Vera shook her head, massaging her wife’s shoulders. “How many times did you head to the chocolate fountain, Chan?”

“Dunno. Four times, maybe?”

The Malagasy medic raised an eyebrow at Kanchana. “You sure you haven’t had a little too much of those margaritas, babe?”

“What margaritas? I didn’t have any margaritas,” Kanchana protested. “You know I can’t have any alcohol, dear.”

Klopp rolled his eyes at the couple. “I don’t remember where I met Jonathan, Chan. It was more than five years ago, and I think Zeljko was still here…” He trailed off, and for a moment his eyes glazed over. But then Klopp briskly nodded at nothing in particular, refilling his glass of ginger ale. “Oh, it’s nothing. Probably my old memory dreaming up stories again.”

“Your stories are true,” Lijnders argued. But it was only half-heartedly, and he hastily stuffed his face with more cookies. “Then again, we’ve all had a slip-up or two in our memory.”

Klopp nodded, but as he walked away, his scowl only grew deeper. “I’m sure I met a Jonathan before,” he muttered to himself, passing the snack table. “But where? And when? I just can’t remember the time.”

As if the radio was listening to him, Michael Jackson’s “Remember The Time” began blasting over the PA system. Klopp decided to let his thoughts go, grabbing Lijnders as the other staff filled the dance floor. There were some songs one just couldn’t resist dancing to, and this was one of them.

*

As promised, Jonathan arrived around noon the next day. Klopp, Lijnders and the medics met him in the Kirby foyer, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries.

“Nice to meet you all!” Jonathan was polite and pleasant, but he nervously fiddled with the buttons on his blazer. “If I may, I’d like to introduce my wife, Louella.”

A bright-eyed, curly-haired woman in an burgundy coat walked up to Klopp, shaking his hand. “Oi, glad we finally met, you old German relic. You sure you didn’t run into an aging machine? Your hair’s as gray as a raincloud.”

“I warned the mass: this team will give me gray hairs!” Klopp smiled and nodded at Louella, clasping her hand. “But yes, pleased to meet you as well.”

Louella smirked, then looked back over her shoulder. “Arwen, dear! Hurry up, we can’t stay out in the draft too long!”

Arwen. The name hit Klopp like a ton of bricks. He staggered backwards, clutching Lijnders for support.

“Arwen’s our daughter, remember?” said Jonathan, as if he could read Klopp’s mind. “I told you in our Zoom interview a few days ago.”

“Why…yes, yes you did.” Now Klopp was sure something was familiar. But whereas yesterday his mind was hyperfocused on remembering where he’d seen Jonathan, now all he could think about was Arwen. Arwen, Arwen, Arwen. Where have I heard your name before?

A sharp, cold gust of wind blew in, and promptly ended. In the place of the open doorway, there stood a young girl, around eight.

“Arwen!” Jonathan turned towards the girl, a larger than life smile stretching across his jaws. “This is Klopp and the rest of the staff. We’re finally meeting in person!”

As Arwen went from staff member to staff member, Klopp took in every detail of her. Her wavy dark hair, plaited into a single braid with green beads. Her small, bushy eyebrows, hung over clear hazel-green eyes. Her lopsided yet genuine smile, bright white except where a tooth was missing. Her chrome and black wheelchair, with an orange and green flower sticker on one handle.

She was Arwen Power. An eight-year old girl. And now Klopp was sure he had seen her before, and where.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, Lila wheeled up to Klopp. She strained her neck to make eye contact, and Klopp bent slightly so it would be easier.

“Klopp, I…” A speechless Arwen shook her head, her braid flying wildly. “You’re standing right in front of me. I can’t help it, but it’s just like…damn, you’re here. Wait, that came out wrong—”

“It’s fine, I swear all the time! I’ve been trying to stop, but it’s almost impossible.” Klopp took Arwen’s extended hand and shook it. “Welcome to the family—er, I mean club.”

“No, he meant family.” Lijnders chuckled at his own joke, while Robert elbowed him.

Klopp rolled his eyes at the two’s antics, but deep inside his conscience was being eaten alive. Even though the events had happened years ago, the guilt still bothered him whenever it was triggered—like today.

“Hey, folks! Would you mind giving me a chance to talk to Louella and Jonathan alone?” He had to get this off his conscience before he went insane.

Most of the staff nodded, leaving without a fuss. Vera, who was having a good conversation with Louella, began to protest, but Lijnders took one glance at Klopp and motioned for Vera to let them talk.

“So, what do you want to talk about, boss?” said Jonathan. “The injury list? Estimated return dates? Living accommodations?”

“No, no and no. I was just wondering…” Klopp tried to make this sentence sound as nice as possible. "Can I…talk with your daughter?”

“Sure, but why?” Jonathan barely managed to hide his snickering. You’re not going to give her the Barcelona treatment, are you?”

“No, no. I’ve done enough already.” Klopp said that part with a hint of regret. “You know what happened. That day. Arwen doesn’t know the whole story.”

Jonathan’s eyes widened, while Louella whispered a faint “oh, god”.

“Now if you’ll excuse me, folks.” Klopp turned on his heel, walking towards the staircase that was the bane of his existence. “I’ve got to get this off my conscience.”

*

He found Arwen in the cafeteria, checking out the room. She was rather agile in wheeling her chair around, often performing the necessary maneuvers with one hand while the other was left unoccupied.

Klopp sighed, taking a seat near the pool table. Imagine if she could have both hands free and still move.

“Arwen!”

“Coming!” Arwen flashed Klopp a thumbs-up, wheeling her chair towards where he stood.

Once Arwen was right in front of him, Klopp found himself speechless. How was he supposed to tell Arwen that his mistake deprived her of the ability to walk? How would he explain that he was unable to catch her, thus letting her fall, as a baby?

Johann Cruyff, have mercy on me.

Somehow, Arwen seemed to sense the tension in the air. “You’ve got a nice training ground here, Klopp,” she said as if to break the ice. “I’m looking forward to coming here.”

“You may not look forward to it as much,” Klopp confessed, “if you knew the whole truth.”

“What whole truth?” Arwen queried. “Klopp, I know I’m adopted; Mum and Dad told me. I know you’re the Liverpool manager; you’re the only manager of this club that I remember. I know that I’m in a wheelchair because of an accident that happened when I was one. I know a lot of things.”

Klopp shook his head, not looking at Arwen directly. “You don’t know everything, though.”

“Alright. Test me.” Arwen defiantly placed her hands on her hips. “Tell me something I don’t know.”

There was no way out of this, and Klopp knew it. “We’ve met before. You were much younger than you are now…”

“Okay, go on.” Arwen flinched, but outwardly she remained calm.

Klopp nodded in silent agreement, focusing on Arwen’s flower sticker. If I just get straight to the story, maybe I can do this.

“I was trimming the garden when Zeljko and I found you in a rosebush. That was why we called you Rose at first. I know, not the most imaginative name in history. We both had a soft spot for you, and we’d often catch each other rocking you to sleep—or asleep in a rocking chair next to your bassinet.”

Arwen’s eyes widened, and the young girl flinched again. “You…you found me? You and Zeljko Buvac found me, as a baby?”

“Yeah. Anyways, the important thing is that you were extremely agile. You could walk, run and climb.” He sighed, fingering the hem of his shirtsleeves. “Too well, in fact.”

She quizzically tilted her head, raising an eyebrow. “What do you mean by ‘too well’? Did I do something bad?”

“No! No, not at all.” Klopp made a mental note to be careful when talking to Arwen. She was catching on—but in exactly the wrong way, blaming herself for what she didn’t even know yet. “One day when neither Zeljko or I were watching, you managed to climb out of your playpen and into a tall tree.”

“I could climb trees at one time?” Arwen echoed, and Klopp didn’t really blame her. Arwen had no memories of herself at one, so she had known herself to be disabled her whole life.

“Zeljko tried to get you from above, while I started climbing the tree from the trunk,” Klopp continued. “I desperately told you not to move, but you got so excited when you saw Zeljko coming, that you tried to pull yourself to a stand. You slipped off the branch and plummeted to the ground with a hard, loud thunk. I tried to jump and save you, but…I was too high up on the tree.”

“So I fell from the tree.”

“Yes. As soon as you landed, you didn’t just cry. You screamed and wailed, and that’s how I knew there was more than just regular pain. Zeljko took one look at you and dialed an ambulance, telling me to hold you. You were hospitalized, and the spinal damage paralyzed you from the waist down.”

“But then…” Arwen had grown quiet as the story had went on. For a brief moment, a flicker of sadness crossed Arwen’s eyes. “Why didn’t you want me? Why didn’t you keep me?”

Those last sentences in particular felt like an arrow to his heart. Drawing a breath, he answered, “I was…scared. I was scared that you would get hurt again in my care, because to be fair, I’m pretty clumsy. What if I hurt you again? So I put you up for adoption, and Jonathan and Louella adopted you.”

Klopp leant against the pool table for support. He felt slightly dizzy and drained, and his conscience felt strangely…heavier. Wasn’t this supposed to ease the guilt? “Arwen, I’m so sorry. You can’t walk, because I couldn’t catch you when you fell from the tree.”

“I…I don’t blame you,” said Arwen. “I always thought it was my birth parents who had me before Mom and Dad. I always thought they didn’t want me because I’m in a wheelchair. But now that you told me the real reason…I think I can forgive you.”

“But you never even knew that I was part of your life until now,” Klopp argued. “And now you can’t walk!”

“The fact that you tried to catch me, and then made sure I was safe afterwards, was enough. If anything, it was my fault as well for climbing the tree.” Arwen came even closer to Klopp, grin as lopsided as before. “So basically, we’re even. There’s no need to feel guilty about it.”

“That’s…” Klopp still reeled with shock. She’d forgave him! After all those years of locked-away guilt and wondering, Arwen had forgave him. “Thank you, Arwen. That’s very generous and mature of you. Your parents raised you well.”

“What do you think? You made a good choice.” Arwen raised her hands to the sky, eyes alight once more. “Let’s hug.”

Klopp wasted no time at all, engulfing Arwen in a mammoth embrace. “That’s what I was going to say!”

Best Toffee Pairings to Consider

Toffee, a chewy confection made from sugar and butter, is available in various regional forms, such as buttercrunch (or English toffee), Scottish tablet, Indian jaggery toffee, and American peanut brittle. Beyond its sweetness, toffee can elevate mood, offer comfort, and encourage social interaction. Whether enjoyed on its own or with other foods, various toffee pairings provide a range of flavors.

One popular pairing is with crisp apples. Incorporating chopped toffee into an apple pie filling adds a delightful crunch and tang, making it a perfect after-dinner dessert or afternoon treat. You can also consider toffee brownies. Mix chips/chopped toffee bits into a rich brownie batter for a treat that complements the chocolate's sweetness.

Toffee-chocolate pairings, including dark ones with salted almonds, classic milk chocolate, classic dark chocolate, and white chocolate, are also great. For example, crumbling white chocolate and macadamia toffee into scones or cookies enhances the flavor. Alternatively, you can sprinkle warm white chocolate, cranberry, and pistachio toffee on cheeses like goat or brie. Dark chocolate makes toffee even more delicious, especially when combined with crunchy nuts and a bit of salt.

An unusual but delicious toffee pairing is with sweet potatoes, especially in desserts and baked goods. Adding toffee to sweet potato pie filling, mixing it into mashed sweet potatoes for cookies, or sprinkling it on sweet potato cubes in a bread pudding recipe can enhance estate. Mango is another unexpected match for toffee, whether in a mango toffee tart, candy, or cheesecake pudding.

Toffee also complements various ice cream flavors—e.g., chocolate and vanilla—adding sweetness upon sprinkling on top or mixing it into the ice cream. Additionally, melting the toffee and pouring it over the ice cream creates а smooth, sweet topping.

For beverages, coffee is an excellent match for toffee; the bitter, earthy coffee notes balance the sweet, caramel-like flavor of toffee. For a more blended taste experience, you can dip toffee into coffee. Other coffee-based products, such as coffee cakes, milkshakes, and desserts, also go well with toffee.

Certain beer styles also pair wonderfully with toffee, such as malty brews that offer a rounded, mellow flavor to complement toffee's caramel sweetness. Porters are another great match; their roasted cocoa and coffee notes enhance the chocolate and toffee in brownies. For a different mix, try British pale ales with chocolate-covered sea salt caramels for a nice balance of roasted and sweet flavors.

Even more popular are wine pairings with toffee. Port wine and dark chocolate toffee are a good pair. The port brings plum, spice, and cherry flavors, complementing the bitterness of the dark chocolate and toffee's creaminess. For a bolder option, California Cabernet Sauvignon's ripe berry flavors and tannins accentuate the toffee taste. If seeking something more complex, wines with high tannins can enhance the flavors of dark chocolate toffee. Pinot Noir and sherry are also excellent choices. Pinot noir's notes combine nicely with the sweetness of toffee, while sherry, available in dry and sweet varieties, allows for versatile pairings with either sweet or unsweetened toffee.

When crafting these pairings, consider the complex interactions between flavor compounds to create а harmonious blend. Contrasting flavors, such as salty and sweet, can offer a balanced taste, while others complementing each other can blend nicely. Ingredients that share similar aromas can also create good combinations. Other vital considerations include temperature, texture, and acidity, which can greatly influence the taste experience by altering flavor perception and contributing to the smoothness, crunchiness, and overall intensity.

Mastering Jamaican Buns: Avoiding Kitchen Mishaps

First, a confession, followed by an apology… My goal in doing this blog is to recreate the food at Disney by using the actual recipes from Disney, preparing them accordingly, and then sharing the results. But there are times that the food Gods do not cooperate and even somebody who knows their way around the kitchen get stumped by forces beyond their control. That is exactly what happened to the treat I was making today, Jamaican Buns from Caribbean Beach Resort. Seeing as this is where I’m calling home in September and it’s probably my favorite hotel, I was pretty excited to try this guy out. More Delicious Recipes You Will Love: - Kitchen Blooper! Jack Skellington Sugar Cookies - Avoiding Kitchen Bloopers: Perfecting Kona Sweet Bread - Lasagna Al Forno – Tutto Italia Ristorante First, I was going to have leave out the coconut due to allergy concerns. I figured that wasn’t such a big deal and I opted to add coconut extract instead. Then upon raiding my pantry, I discovered that I had no raisins and what I thought was raisins were actually dried cranberries. Fine.  I’d just substitute the raisins for the cranberries and make a note of it on the entry for this recipe. From there, it just slid downhill. I started mixing the batter, but the forgot about it (the convenience of a Kitchen Aid mixer is perhaps a little too convenient) so I suspect the dough was very over mixed. Then I had to step away for a moment, so I threw the batter in the fridge to keep the butter from melting, and what started as a moment ended up being about 4 hours, so the batter got completely chilled… Which should never happen with a bread dough, even a quick bread. Then, for the first time as an adult, I actually broke the yolk of not one, but both eggs, getting a pretty substantial amount of yolk in the whites. Finally, in the oddest problem I’ve ever had in a kitchen, I couldn’t track down my cookie pan… I swear, it was the most bizarre thing. But with a hot oven and a now mostly room temperature dough ready to go, I had to come up with something. And that something was foil on a wire rack over a pizza stone. So basically, the most non-cookie sheet I could have possibly made. So by the time all was said and done, I came up with a recipe that at its core is a Disney recipe, but fate turned it into something else. The end result was…  Interesting, to say the least. While they tasted just fine, if not a little dense, I could tell by looking at them that this is probably not what Caribbean Beach serves to its guests. Where to start? They didn’t brown, they spread out, the yolk on the whites burned, the tops split, and the foil gave an odd shape. It was like a deflated, overly moist scone, when (as I understood it), it should have been more like a hot cross bun. Even after cooking the buns for 40 minutes instead of the 20, all I got was burned edges. A trademark sign that the dough was too cold and too overmixed. The hint of a great flavor, the potential behind a great little dish, but in the end, they were completely inedible. Bummers. Burned at the edge, raw in the middle. Can you believe they were in the oven for 40 mins? My goal is to try and remake this sometime in the very near future, when either I or my kitchen is less cursed, and hopefully we can compare how it ended up this time to how it should have been. LoL! So, better luck next time! Edit:  This recipe was apparently so cursed that, despite scheduling it to be posted yesterday, it never posted and had to be posted manually today.  LoL! In addition to the delicious food and recipes, Disney World is also known for its unique dining experiences, such as character dining and themed restaurants. Whether you want to have breakfast with Mickey Mouse, dine in a replica of a sci-fi drive-in theater at Hollywood Studios, or enjoy a meal with an ocean view at the Coral Reef Restaurant in Epcot, there's something for everyone. And with the help of Recipes Today and the How to Make category, you can even recreate some of these magical dining experiences in your own home. So why not start planning your next Disney-inspired meal or dining experience today? Read the full article

Alright, well, I'll try to do it all from memory. (Some of these may be fannon? It's been a minute since I sorted it all out, but here I go...)

Bruce: His favourite colour is yellow, one of his favourite Christmas films is "It's a Wonderful Life," he likes a good steak, he secretly doesn't mind extroverts like Stephanie (he actually enjoys her company), he likes dinosaurs (yes, really), he also likes Alfred's cucumber sandwiches and devil’s food cake, and it's actually kind of funny how long and high profile his list of exes is. Zatanna, Vickie Vale, Talia Al Ghul, Selina Kyle (and like a billion others depending on which timeline/dimension you're in.)

Dick: likes cereal (though I think the idea that he LOVES cereal is more fannon than cannon?) he also likes a type of Italian lemon cake, Alfred's stuffed crab bites (or whatever they're called), hot wings, Alfred's cookies (but who doesn’t, right?), earl grey tea, pineapple on pizza, and mint chocolate chip ice cream. He does NOT like cranberry bread or Alfred's cucumber sandwiches : ( He's platonic soul mates with Donna Troy/Wonder Girl, he loves watching the sunrise, he likes to sing, is a decent cook, when he can’t sleep he goes and watches nature documentaries where there are no people, just animals, and it relaxes him. He speaks a plethora of languages (but let's be real, most of the bat family does), he loves his puns! aaaaand I think that's it for Dick.

Barbara: I actually don't know a whole lot about Babs… :(

Jason: His favourite ice cream flavour is neapolitan, he's a messy eater, he was a good student in school, likes to read, good at keeping his room/living space clean, once hacked into the batcomputer and tweaked his file to add in all the crimes he's committed just to spite Bruce, he's especially known for riding a motorcycle (yeah, I know, all the robins are, but for him the image kinda stuck more) and he's actually a natural ginger.

Tim: made Redboard (his special Robin skateboard), somehow is a jock/nerd/prep/slacker/skater/geek/rich kid hybrid, his favourite ice cream is cherry ice cream, he's also, like, pretty into junk food, but, like... same... though I do not like his choice of pizza (canadian bacon, artichokes, and onions), he’s techy and crafty and hackery with a genius level IQ, uncovered Batman's secret identity all by himself (though living in the same rich neighbourhood as Bruce Wayne doesn't hurt, cause yeah, his biological family is LOADED), he’s NOT good about keeping his room clean, he has sleep deprivation issues, is known for being a coffee addict and falling asleep at any given time, is NOT known for being very funny, and is often times the most forgotten of the boy robins.

Stephanie: loves waffles, is best girl, fun, zany, is a "live in the moment and make the most of it" kinda gal, smarter than she looks, aaand I'm now realising I need to do more research on her... wow...

Cassandra: very antisocial, raised by assassins, prevented from speaking her whole childhood, so she's known for using either broken English or sign language or both, does ballet, can take you down just by observing your body language, DO NOT PROVOKE.

Damian: has a soft spot for animals such as his many pets—Alfred the cat, Titus the dog, Batcow the cow, Goliath the… bat… monster… thing… and Jerry the Turkey. Because of his pets, he’s actually become a vegetarian, he’s a gifted artist, he plays the viola, he’s stolen Red Hood’s helmet before and keeps it as a memento in his room, he enjoys reading manga (specifically slice of life type manga), he prefers his mother’s cooking when it comes to Arabic food (though I’m sure Alfred tries his best), he hates water and getting wet, and on his first day of school, he arrived by helicopter blasting the “Imperial March” from Star Wars. He still arrives at school via helicopter as far as I am aware. He might also be gluten free? But I cannot confirm???

Duke: honestly I know next to nothing other than he’s generally considered to be the “normal one.” Yeah… DC needs to up their game when it comes to Duke as a character… I mean, starting that Robin uprising gang thing was cool… but, like, who is he as a person? What’s he like to do on his days off? (…is he the one who secretly introduced Damian to manga???) I literally don’t know.

Well, I think that’s just about everything. :)

I’ve scoured the internet for tidbits of info, such as: Dick’s favourite ice cream flavour is mint chocolate chip, Stephanie likes waffles, and Jason is a messy eater. But now I’d like to hear from you! What are some random batkid facts that you know? Or, what random/embarrassing/interesting facts do YOU think should be canon? Like, should Tim be allergic to avocados? Does Duke have any secret hobbies? Should Stephanie randomly know how to juggle six beanie babies at once? Comment your thoughts!

Oh that will be a nice break for you! Do you have plans or just looking forward to relaxing?

That's just a sweet gesture. You must have been super close to them ☺

I'd love reading. That's so kind of you.

I enjoy a lemon gin with Cranberry Ginger Ale (Canada Dry obviously lol..) It makes a nice light refreshing drink. The turkey dinner is great too. My fav part is the stuffing and gravy. I could just eat a plate of that and I'd be a happy girl. What's your fav part of the meal? Do you cook it yourself?

So the band at the moment is Pearl Jam and they're all such cuties I think I have a crush on all of them for different reasons 😌

But as for gifts? The singer - wine or a poem; the guitarist - a tattoo; the bassist - a piece of art he made; the rhythm guitarist - a book and the drummer - socks (he seems very practical in that way).

Assuming you have a tree, do you use a star or an angel as it's top? And do have an ornament that is sentimental?

🤶

I can’t wait! We’re having our dinner on Christmas Eve cause I’m going away between Boxing Day and the 30th!

I was, they were like second parents to me and I miss them so much 🥺 are you close to your grandparents?

Oh that sounds delicious and I totally need to try Cranberry Canada Dry 😍 mine is the dessert! I’m making lemon squares and we’re also having shortbread cookies and apple pie!!

Oh man, Pearl Jam is awesome! I have an original copy of Ten on CD! Who’s your favourite member, song, and album? Do you like the rest of the big four grunge bands?

I AGREE WITH ALL OF THOSE!! 😍

We have a star on our tree and I think my favourite ornament we have is of Lucy and Snoopy from the once scene in A Charlie Brown Christmas when Lucy freaks out about getting “kissed by a dog.” What is your favourite ornament and do you like clear or colourful lights?
