#dietry restrictions

[daybreaksys]

Food companies and employees seem to think zero lactose = zero sugar = zero fat = zero whatever like "healthy version" is all the same thing

no bruh I want all the sugar I can get, I'm not "UwU diet healthy influencer" I'm just lactose intolerant

[ficwitch]

I invited someone over and said I would cook for us...

....Fuck, now I gotta learn how to cook an actual nice meal.

Chapter 19: Pearls before Swine

-Pigsy started off the chapter with a long poem about his backstory, full of internal alchemy jargons that were mostly explained in the footnotes. So, instead of going into details, I'm just gonna talk about the general idea of "Reversal" in internal alchemy, namely, the reversal from Houtian("Post-Heaven") to Xiantian("Pre-Heaven").

-The trigram on the left of this picture is the Xiantian Trigram, aka Fuxi's Trigram, while the one on the right, the Houtian Trigram, aka King Wen's Trigram. Notice how in the former, the north and south position is occupied by Qian and Kun (Heaven and Earth), while in the latter, it's Li and Kan (Fire and Water)?

-Well, according to internal alchemy theory, the "Qian" of the Xiantian Trigram represents the primodial state of human existence, where the Spiritual Mind(元神) and Vital Energy(元气, or Qi) are one. Separated after birth, they morph into the "Li" and "Kan" of the Houtian Trigram, after the middle "⚊" in "☰", representing Vital Energy, switches place with the middle "⚋" in "☷" and causes the Spiritual Mind to become Yin-aligned.

-Cultivation is supposed to reverse the Li-Kan of Houtian back to the Qian-Kun of Xiantian through the fusing of the Spiritual Mind and Vital Energy, granting practitioners immortality in the process. Thus, the allusion to the "Li-dragon" and "Kan-tiger" in the poem.

-On a tangentially related note, according to the Book of Changes(周易), the Kan trigram is represented by the pig, which is but another example of the long-lasting tradition of associating pigs with the Water element in ancient Chinese culture.

-Fast forward to Pigsy officially joining the group: his religious name, Zhu Eight Rules, could be a reference to the 8 Buddhist prohibitions against killing, lying, stealing, sexual debauchery, indulgence in luxury, drinking, dancing and music, and eating out of regular hours.

-However, if we look at the sentence before that, Tripitaka states that Pigsy had "not eaten the five forbidden viands and the three undesirable foods"(五荤三厌). The first 5 refers to the Buddhist dietry restriction against five sorts of pungent vegetables, while the 3 undesirable foods are Daoist prohibitions against the consumption of wild geese, dogs, and fish/turtle.

-Personal story—I first read the full JTTW novel while hospitalized, and still vividly remembered how the book I borrowed from the nurse happened to be missing several pages in the Crow's Nest Master section. Anyways, who is this guy that popped out of nowhere just to give Tripitaka the Heart Sutra and make digs at his disciples?

-He appeared to be an amalgation of two figures:

1) The "Bird's Nest Master" recorded in the Buddhist history compendium 五灯会元, who lived atop a pine tree in Hang Zhou and was visited by the famous poet Bai Juyi. After Bai voiced some rather reasonable safety concerns about the whole "living on a tree" thing, he retorted that the poet was in an even more dangerous situation, sth sth being an official of the court is like amidst flames sth.

2) The filthy, sickly man who appeared in Xuanzang's biography, 大慈恩寺三藏法师传, and taught him the Heart Sutra in return for the monk's kindness, which would later ward him from demons and ghosts during the crossing of the desert.

-It's kinda fun to imagine him as an actual cultivated crow, working to attain Buddhahood, tho.

Is there pizza days at xaviers

During Exam season, the teachers go and pick up a bunch of comfort food. Pizzas, fried chicken, stuffed cabbage, doughnuts, pastrami sandwiches, bagels etc etc. And then we just pig out in the dining hall?

But mostly, there's a few options to have. It's cafeteria style. But you do need to have a protein, a carb and a veg*. You aren't supposed to have Soda with every meal? But you can have it once a day, except on weekends. [ it's a free for all on weekends. Nobody has to drink anything they don't want too**]

So long story short: Yes! Pizza slices and squares are sometimes a regular option, but every exam season we get comfort food parties! It's great

[ * Dietry restrictions are the exception, some Mutants eat things like sheet metal, and that's fine!

** I drink a blood-replacement with every meal and throughout the day. It's gross ] - M.🦇

[airenyah]

quick!! send me your fave recipes

y'all i'm trying to figure out what to cook over the next week sooo for some inspiration pls send me your fave recipes or a recipe from your country/culture that you think i should definitely try? 🥺🥺🥺

anything is welcome, i don't really have any dietry restrictions. write it out for me or send me a link to a written/video recipe, send me a pic of a handwritten recipe, etc... however you like <3

bonus points if:

it can be pre-prepared and stored in the freezer to be eaten on a busy uni day where i don't have the time and/or energy to cook (and do a million dishes)

little to no: button mushrooms, eggplants, zucchini or pork (exception: bacon and ham) bc i simply just don't like those. meaning pls no dishes with those as a main ingredient where that is the main taste (it's fine if it's just a little where the thing gets overshadowed by other things)

you provide some fun facts about it (anything you wanna tell me about it, for example why you like it or how popular this dish is in your country/culture or why it is important in your country/culture or what the dish means to you personally/what you associate with it like for example if your grandma used to make it when you were sick/etc etc)

[I can't send from that blog because sideblog lmfao but @catspittle ] "One wonders. Do y'eat like a snake does? Crush bones with your teeth or somethin'?" Ahh yes, Jon totally understands how snakes work. Still, he appreciates a good aesthetic.

"I could, but consuming my meals that way would not only be tedious but a waste of time. I've got no interest swallowing down ten, twenty rabbits and then some to match my weight." Copperhead replied, fixing the good doctor with a reptillian stare. It's a genuine question he feels is coming from Jonathan but discussing his dietry restriction with a man who seemed to struggle himself with eating seemed like a topic he probably needed to be sensitive about. The Serpent Metahuman hummed, tapping a scale-clad forearm with a sharp talon. "You'd be better off looking at Killer Croc if you're after a crushing bite, Dr. Crane. My teeth are designed to pierce, to inject venom into anybody unfortunate enough to warrant getting bitten. Chewing food is about as easy for me as it is for you; at best I can crush soft fruits against the roof of my mouth." Grapes, bananas, figs, anything soft and yielding were the easiest to eat. Apples were decidedly more crunchy, and unless he wanted to swallow one whole, it was better to cut it up first. Forget coconuts or anything with a hard shell; time was too precious to waste on food when there were better alternatives. His scaled hand gave way, as though offering the spotlight to the older man. "Is this an invitation to dinner or would you like to settle down and conduct business, Doctor? Perhaps if I had a little more incentive, I'll answer all the questions you want..."

[MORE HEADCANONS] While there are more vegetarian alternatives these days, Khare understands how hard it is finding a tasty meal that suits your dietry needs so she's worked over the menu with Pauli to include a few more vegetarian-and-vegan friendly dishes once Eido started coming by. Instead of plain old salad, there are now pastas, veggie burgers, stews, soups and even vegetarian bacon/sausages for that delicious fried breakfast without the meat!

Send a headcanon you have about our muses’ relationship and I’ll tell you if I approve of it or not. || Accepting!

I LOVE this?? As much as she'd like to/as much as it would be convenient, Eido doesn't really go out to eat as often as she'd like purely because of those dietary restrictions. Late work nights are hit and miss and no places open that late would have things she'd be able to eat. So Pauli's having more options for people who don't eat the majority of available meat would be a lifesaver and they'd definitely see more of her once she noticed the menu had been updated.

6 and 8 for the food asks

Which headmate has dietry restrictions? Who refuses to eat certain foods based on texture and what food is that?

I don't think we have any dietry restrictions. Felix hates squishy foods (grapes, fruits which are overripe, some strrawberries, tomatos). Ty is also very picky.

What is everyone's comfort food? How often do they eat it?

Felix loves very rich foods, both sweet and savoury. RK likes fastfood with a mix of salty and sweet. Jon likes tea and biscuits as a comfort snack. Maxine needs her Monster and sour candies but would also go for fast food. K.D. likes a full course meal with grains, vegetables and meat, along with some wine and fruit. I. likes honey, fresh fruits, cheese and fresh bread.

it felt like it had been a lifetime since she had been in the hospital. she had literally had a team of doctors who all had to approve that she was free to go home. there had been so many tests and physical therapy had been incredibly daunting. the infection in her leg was gone but she was still recovering. there had been a few procedures and they wanted to make sure her body was healed from the miscarriage. she knew that her story was also still one of public interest. there had been requests for interviews which she had firmly declined.

that morning she had been told that by the end of the week she was going to be released. they knew that she had someone who would look out for her. that she didn't have to worry about stairs or anything along those lines. she had to use either crutches or a wheelchair since she wasn't fully able to put weight on her leg. she was almost relieved that it was a morning that she was alone. ezra had to go to the garage and she had told her grandma that she needed to take it easy. the both of them had been a constant since she had been rescued.

she had gone to physical therapy and had been helped with getting herself clean. her grandma had been bringing her clothes to avoid the hospital gowns. she was wearing a silk button up pajama top that was oversized so it came a few inches above her knees. her legs were covered by one of her grandma's quilts and she had asked to be taken outside. she had gotten a text from ezra that he was on his way and he was bringing her dinner. she had been craving lasagna and her dietry restrictions were finally eased up.

the nurse had promised to send him outside when he arrived. she had been enjoying the warmth coming from the sun when she heard footsteps. it took her a few moments to figure out how to wheel the chair around so she was facing him," ezra," she breathed, motioning for him to come closer. he seemed concerned but he was doing as she asked. she reached to pull him down only to cup his face and pull him into a kiss," i almost called to tell you but i wanted to wait for you to be here," she breathed," i get to go home in two days!"

it was still so strange to see everly crying, to see her so blatantly bleeding emotion when it felt like he needed to fight tooth and nail for any scrap of reaction from her before. he'd always wanted to see her expressing some kind of feeling and now that he did, it almost felt like he was stealing it because ezra knew damn well the only reason she was that she couldn't control it after everything that she'd been through. she was melting down because of external stressors, not because she trusted him to see it.

but at least she knew that he'd protect her, and ezra wanted to think that counted for something as he kept his arms locked around her, not sure what would be the most soothing to her. kissing her hair? rubbing at her back? he tried both, at a loss for what to do when he had the feeling that the only thing that would help was undoing the past nine months of her life. barring that, make sure that no one came near her with a phone or camera seemed like it would be the safest option.

"i've got you. you want to get better wrapped up in the blanket? or maybe me get you another one?" if they were at home and she was scared, he probably would have wrapped her in a blanket and given her cocoa, maybe put on a movie or read a book. he realized suddenly he had no idea if everly liked books that didn't have recipes in them and he wasn't sure if she liked those or if she'd consider it an insult to think she needed a cookbook.

no need to dwell on that, and no time for it either with the way everly was crying, curling herself against him and resting her head against his chest. "you're not fucked up, honey." ezra said without hesitation as he reached to help pull up the blanket. "you're scared after going through a situation that was fucked up and that sounds pretty human to me." it was strange to hear everly call him sir because that was something that felt like it had faded away long before she got on that flight, but ezra also thought it was telling about her mental state and just how broken her barriers were at the moment.

"i'm not leaving you, okay? i swear. i'm going to be right here with you." ezra promised her soothingly, reaching to tug the ribbon carefully out of her hair so he could start to card his fingers through it, petting her in an attempt to held everly calm down. "i'm not going to leave you alone and i won't let anything get you. you can go to sleep and you'll still be right here with me when you wake up, i promise."

Just got the ‘Oh can you and your brother try and find a present for your eldest brother who is married, has his own place and makes much more than anyone in this house does and is incredibly hard to buy for because he’s a persnickety sort’ demand

[lyascia]

When you decided that you’re all set to start off a big project of your own and God gave you a sudden illness and sufferings that came after. Assumingly a helpline from the universe to force me to step back, relax, take a break and remind me of death.

There’s something about not being able to control your body and being vulnerable and weak that will just make you reflect deep and good. On top of being alone in a new world with such different healthcare system, really will shock you. And then comes along the after-diagnosis-care: your new dietry, the new pain when you move a certain way, the new norm.

Maybe I needed a reminder this badly. Bad enough that it restricts me from having my normal routine. Because maybe, my normal routine is not for me. Maybe I’m given this very very long painful rest to be prepared for something bigger & greater.

He knows best.

Nodding along to the advice, greatful for his friends input even if he can't eat it himself, John starts getting himself a plate as well.

As he watches Taurie load up on fairly bland side dishes he makes a decision to find time to cook in the next few days, if only to keep his own peace of mind that Taurie is eating ok. It's a same the team here has no idea about Taurie's dietry restrictions...

Thinking about it he wonders if anyone here does know what he's hiding under his helmet...does the medic even know?

Slightly lost in thought John automatically follows his friend to find a place to sit, sitting himself against the man's side as they find a quieter spot.

"so any other tips you got for me at this base?"

It seemed like such a long time since he'd last seen the RED base, so long since he was last here before his temporary transfer between teams.

As he pulls up to the cracked familiar walls in his truck he can't help the smile pulling at his lips.

He wonders if everyone's still here, still the same as he left. He'd changed a bit since he left....

Hopefully his old friend Taurie is still here though.

As The Engineer climbs out of his truck, a bag thrown over his shoulder he can only hope for the best as he trundles inside in the early morning.

While it was early Taurie was already up and going over his to do list for the day, a mug of steaming coffee in his other hand. He was fixing to go check the wiring in one of the outlets in the infirmary when he heard the sound of a car door.

Pausing he looked back toward the door he had just passed, a slightly confused expression on his face. They rarely got visitors, except for the occasional personnel from administration that delivered their supplies.

Backtracking he tucked his list in his belt and went to open the door.
