Vegan Morir Soñando (Dominican Orange Drink)

[dlstmxkakwldrlarchive]

We spoke with the famous K-pop boy band during their visit to the Estadio Cívitas Metropolitano de Madrid

[...] As we mentioned before, their most recent project is HARD, which came out on June 26 of this year and marked Taemin's return after completing his military service.

In fact, for them, they confessed, this album release "has helped them demonstrate" to their fans that they're still "working for and thinking about them."

K-Pop is an unstoppable phenomenon. SHINee is undoubtedly one of the veteran groups of the scene, as they debuted in 2008, and since then, they haven't stopped gifting their talent to the world.

This has also led them to witness all kinds of changes and adapt to them. They're proud to have witnessed the K-pop expansion and also have kept their fans around the world.

It's 13 years [og writer mistake lol] since their first studio album release, The SHINee World, and with pride for what they accomplished, there's also the happiness. Key, Minho, and Taemin reply with a smile from ear to ear and say they are happy to have arrived here.

'What about the future? How do you see yourself in the future?'

They don't have any doubts: "We won't change."

SHINee ensures that it will continue to maintain that unstoppable passion for music and for the creation of its songs. Although they also show their desire to explore their solo talents and rejoin as a group to continue making history in the K-Pop industry.

my cuisine is what i would call “lazy [region redacted]” in that it’s me trying to emulate the ethnic dishes i grew up with (mostly polish, german, puerto rican) but with the fewest steps possible and with whatever i have in my pantry.

How do you think a romance between soldier boy and a woc would pan out?

Hey there! By "WOC" I'm thinking you mean "woman of color?"

Fun fact: I actually imagine most of my reader insert characters as women of color, since I'm a woman of color myself. 💁🏽‍♀️

I love this question, but I think the nitty gritty specifics would depend on her race/ethnicity. A “person of color” incorporates a broad swath of races and cultures, so it’s hard to generalize while being accurate and authentic to a POC’s experience. For example, I could write a headcanon fic like:

Headcanon: A romance between Soldier Boy (Ben) and a Hispanic/Latina woman of color would include...

Because that^ is my frame of reference, being that I'm Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Dominican. 🇨🇺🇵🇷🇩🇴 (Hence the Midnight Espresso-verse. And speaking of, Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!)

**Even “Hispanic/Latina” is generalizing, because there are many Hispanic/Latino ethnicities with unique aspects to their cultures that can make them very different from one another other, even if you keep the setting as America/New York within The Boys.

In general though, here are my thoughts:

Headcanon: Soldier Boy (Ben) romancing a woman of color:

She could be a good foil for him, not just helping him adapt to modern society, but broadening his horizons to her culture and her world, especially if she's a normal person (non-supe).

She would most certainly challenge him. If she's black or Latina, for example, I couldn't see either one putting up with Ben's misogynist bullshit. She doesn't have the time or the patience, no matter how damn attractive or charming he is.

If he's tenacious enough to pursue her (likely seeing her as a "challenge"), she would help open his eyes to what "a real man" actually is -- reliable, responsible, and a good man.

(Not just that BDE. 🙄)

She could help him see past his white privilege. Especially by showing him her culture, and how she navigates the world is much different to how he navigates the world, not just as a famous superhero, but as a white man who's gotten to be where he is because his daddy came from old money.

If she cooks (or if her mother, aunt, grandmother cooks, as in many black, Hispanic/Latino, Italian, Asian families), she could open up his horizons that way too with different kinds of cuisines that he probably hasn't encountered before. 👏🏽

This would also appeal to that more traditional aspect he'd probably enjoy, of having a woman cook for him lol. Though she would remind him that having someone cook for him is a privilege and a kindness and a way to show someone you love them, not a right that should be expected.

She could also help him see how food and family is pretty entwined in a lot of cultures for ethnic/racial minorities. It could give him a new outlook on what "family" actually means.

Gah! Now you're making me want to write an actual Soldier Boy story with a woman of color. 💕

(Disclaimer though: I'm very careful of not writing for voices that aren't "mine" when it comes to race/ethnicity/cultural minorities, unless I know enough about it through either personal experience or research.)

Because this actually became a genuine headcanon that I'm going to add to my SB masterlist.

How does one actually build a useful repository of recipes for different cuisines? Like, I have the Silver Spoon which is a pretty good cross section of Italian cooking. I know more than enough variations of the typical french mother sauces to get the principles without a need for a recipe. I know from various Euro cuisines particular flavors that pair well I could build a dish around (like, I could make a goat cheese and caramelized onion soup without the need of someone telling me a recipe). I don't have any such data sets for other cuisines, and you know the recipe website world is a hell scape.

Tried and true method is: Cook often, try new things, and save it if you like it.

Get a blank notebook (or a 3-ring binder) and collect recipes yourself as you try them. You can write recipes in by hand, or print them off & punch for the 3-ring binder.

Go to restaurants which serve food you want to explore, and take a picture of the food, record the name of it on the menu, and note some of the ingredients that you can identify in it.

If you live in a small town with not many places that serve 'foreign' food nearby, get off google. Use DuckDuckGo or Brave as a search engine. They have very few ads and the search algorithm prefers when you get to the point in your recipe blog, rather than dicking around with your life story.

Do a little tour on your world map. Focus on countries, search for food from that country, then search for specific kinds of food from that country. Search for things like "Authentic Turkish Stewed Chicken" "Traditional Brazillian Goat Recipe" "Hong Kong Street Food Recipe" "Collection of Taiwan Recipes" "25 amazing Korean dishes" "10 best Cajun Soul Food Recipes" "Dominican Republic Cuisine Recipes"

Go watch cooking tiktoks that aren't european-centric; go out of your way to find them.

Go down a list of spices and pick one you've never tried before. Look up where it's traditionally used, and try to find some dishes that use that spice!

Go to your Local Library and dig into their cookbook section. Every library has one! Look for cookbooks focused on cuisines you don't know yet, and try those recipes!

If you're cool spending money on this, go to Half Price Books or other book-reselling stores where you can find cook books at really low prices. Again, explore the cuisines you're not familiar with.

If you have grocery stores for other cultures near you, go into their grocery! Check out what spices have a shitload of different brands on display, and pick one at random. Seek out a recipe that uses that new spice you just bought.

And remember: Write that shit down!

You can always have a little guide at the front or back of your recipe collection that explains different spice blends, or explains key sauces, or anything else!

You can keep a little guide on how roasting spices changes them, and your experiments with that.

You can keep a list of bread recipes, or cooking hacks like how to make really good naan without a woodfire grill.

---

Personally, I'm forgetful. I forget sites exist, forget logins, and lose passwords all the time. I have about a hundred recipe collections across about as many websites, and I know where like, 3 of them are right now. Many of those websites have gone down, and my lists are lost forever.

The book of recipe & food-tips collection I've kept & used the longest - my Food Grimoire - is a physical item that I can misplace in my house but never truly lose. It can't have its server crash or website maintenance suddenly be abandoned and blip out of existence.

Altomonte, Calabria, Italy

Altomonte is a charming medieval village sitting on a promontory 450 meters above sea level, at the foot of the National Park of Pollino.

The place corresponds to the old village of Balbia, name of Phoenician origin (that means Lord) mentioned by Roman author Pliny, the Elder, when celebrates the goodness of the Balbino wine.

Situated on the hill, the houses seem to be welded to the ground and the rocks, the hills with olive trees, fields and spots are a real timeless spectacle.

During the medieval period, Altomonte became a fortified center and played a significant role in the defense of the region. Over the centuries, the town developed into a typical Calabrian village, preserving its historical character and traditions.

The heart of Altomonte is its historical centre, characterized by narrow cobbled streets, stone houses, and ancient buildings.

The many streets and stairways cluster around the center of the village, where the Church of Santa Maria della Consolazione is located. A true Gothic-Angevin art treasure, with a rose window and a very elegant facade, while the bell tower is decorated with a mullioned window.

Adjoining the church is the Dominican Monastery that now houses the Civic Museum, where important works of art are preserved.

The village offers visitors a chance to savor traditional Calabrian cuisine, with a focus on local products such as olive oil, cured meats, and regional wines.

Can you do young Miko x Dominican Fem!reader fluff maybe them cooking together and it’s just chaos

I love this!!! Of course my love 💞🫡

——————————————————————————

Laughter and playful shouts echoed throughout the house. A shriek escaped your lips when you felt cold liquid splash you by none of other than your girlfriend, who laughed at your reaction. You grabbed the first thing you could reach, which was a handful of uncooked rice and threw it at her, revenge once again yours.

The delicious aromas of Dominican and Puerto Rican cooking wafted over the air; arroz con gandules, tostones, mangú, chuletas— all part of your dinner for tonight. You and Miko have put your heads together and decided to make a three course meal of your respected cuisines. Yet somewhere during the cooking, a food fight broke out between you. You’re not sure how it started or why, but you didn’t care. Nor did you mind that the kitchen was an absolute mess.

“Cabrona!” Miko squealed as she playfully tackled you to the ground, your laughter uncontrollable.

“Eres fucking loca!” You smeared her face with butter that was splattered on the ground. “Eat that, Miko!”

“Y/N, basta!” Miko laughed as she began to throw whatever food she could grab from the floor at you.

You smirked. “Solo si me das un beso.”

“Come here, then, sweetheart,” Miko hummed as she outstretched her arms for you.

She pulled you with ease into her lap. Her hands found their way your hips, your hands cupped her face tenderly, and neither of you could wipe off the smiles off your faces. You closed the small gap between the two of you, lips molding together oh-so-sweetly, your heart fluttering as the kiss becomes more passionate.

All of the sudden, the fire detector went off.

“Ay, coño!” you exclaimed in horror as smoke began to escape from the oven. The two of you scrambled to your feet, nearly slipping in the process, and Miko handed you the oven mitts.

“Be careful, mi amor,” Miko warned as you took out the contents from the oven.

A cloud of dark smoke flowed out of the oven as you opened the door. Miko grabbed a broom and shut the fire detector off. What was burning were the chuletas that the two of you had put in earlier. They were completely forgotten in midst of the chaos that was happening between the two of you.

You looked at Miko. Who looked at you. And the both of you started back at the burned chuletas.

All you could do was laugh.

“Oh, my God…” Miko moaned as the laughter died down, pulling you to her side.

“What a mess,” you giggled and kissed her cheek. She then gently turned your body so that you were facing her.

“But it’s our mess,” Miko murmured, her lips brushing over yours. “Our beautiful, chaotic mess.”

Leave it to Miko to make any situation romantic.

“Mi reina…” you hummed as you pressed your lips against hers again.

“We should probably shower first before we clean up everything,” she said with a chuckle and you nodded in agreement.

“We could shower together.” You didn’t even try to hide your smirk. “You know, to make it faster, save water… but no funny business, María Victoria.”

“No te prometo nada, princesa,” Miko smirked before carrying you out the kitchen bridal style and into the bathroom.

Where you continued your funny business under the shower.

Thanks as always for blessing us with your gorgeous body, your adorable face, and your radiant smile!

Happy Sunday, my love!! Thank you for being so incredibly lovely and sweet 🥰💖 Your messages always put a smile on my face 🥰

I just got out of the bath, so I am currently peak relaxation and rejuvenation at the moment 🥴🛀🏼

This is SUCH a difficult question and I love it so much. I adore a wide assortment of cuisines, but the one I could comfortably survive on for the longest amount of time would have to be Dominican/Puerto Rican food 🇩🇴🇵🇷. It is the food I grew up on, and no doubt, precisely why it is my absolute favorite 🙌🏽

Thank you for the great question and all the lovely compliments!! Wishing you the most wonderful day and week ahead 💖😘

hc + 🥣 for a food-themed headcanon?

thematic headcanons // accepting !

he grew up in what I imagine would be a very densely immigrant populated area-- usually north side is 'upper scale' but with the reputation of park row and it's real close proximity to the bowery (in most gotham maps..... jeez!) this makes me think that with 'crime' sending out the rich people, it allowed a lot a big boom of culture and opportunity for people who normally wouldn't get that business.

ALL OF THAT PREAMBLE TO SAY: because of that rich melting pot, and Jason's close proximity to a lot of different cuisine culture, and his own childhood of living out on the streets for a hot second: he likes EVERYTHING.

I think he has a particular soft spot for latin/islander food (dominican/puerto rican/haitian YUM), and mediterranean (hello grecian namesake. but i know he gets DOWN on some moussaka). loves large spreads of foods, and food that feels very jam-packed with flavor, without so much of the hot&spicy kick.
