Garlic Sage Velvet Soup This creamy and flavorful garlic soup combines the richness of homemade mayonnaise with the aromatic essence of sage. Perfect as a comforting starter or a light lunch. Ingredients 64 ounces chicken stock small bunch fresh sage 1 large head of garlic mayonnaise 2/3 cup olive oil, or other vegetable oil you prefer 1 large egg, separated 1 tsp Dijon mustard pinch salt Instructions Heat the chicken stock and sage in a large Dutch oven or stock pot. Bring to a simmer and then simmer very gently while you prep your garlic. Remove the skins from the garlic cloves and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the little embryonic shoot, as these can be bitter. Use the tip of a sharp knife or a toothpick to pry them out and discard. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil and add the garlic cloves. Boil for 3-4 minutes. Drain the cloves. Use the back of a fork to mash the softened garlic until finely mashed. Add the mashed garlic to the stock and continue to gently simmer for 10 minutes. Now make the mayonnaise. Put the egg yolk, mustard, salt, and oil in a small jar, just wide enough to fit your immersion blender. Reserve the egg white for later. Place the blender head at the bottom of the jar and blend, gently lifting the blender slightly to emulsify the ingredients. If the mayonnaise does not thicken, add the reserved egg white and blend again. Strain the soup if you prefer a velvety smooth texture, then return it to the pot. Take a ladle-ful of the hot soup and stir it into your mayonnaise to temper it. Immediately stir the mayonnaise into the soup pot, whisking as you add it. Bring the soup back on the stove and heat until warmed through, but do not let it boil to avoid curdling. Serve with crusty croutons, an extra drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of smoked paprika, and fresh parsley if desired.

Were you bothered by the middle of Jim and Oluwande's character arcs seemingly being taken out in an executive attempt to hide the Polycule Jenkins and company had clearly crafted for us? Did you hear about the plot about Ed and Stede being so horny for each other that Roach and Wee John decided to take action which was cut for unknowable reasons and get mad because that was literally better than the episode 6 we got? Did you feel like Ed's probation didn't really come to a satisfying conclusion? If some or all of these things about season 2 annoyed you this is the fic for you. Inside you'll find a version of episode 6 that's a bit longer, but adds back in all the missing pieces that a limited budget and executive meddling took out in a way which contains itself to just that episode, allowing you to mentally patch this fic in on top of the Calypso's birthday episode, but have the rest of the season remain the same. With two commercial breaks (i.e. three chapters) and a post credit scene. Some scenes are ripped directly, which I wrote in script format to make them go faster if I felt they did not benefit from a rewrite in some way, but much of this fic is original content heavily inspired by cast interviews.

🇬🇧⬇️ KREMALI SARIMSAK ÇORBASI Bugün akşam için şöyle sıcacık, şifa deposu bir çorba yapalım mı? Avusturya’ya geldiğimin ilk günlerinde eşimle gittiğimiz bir İtalyan restoranında yediğim bu çorba, o günden bu güne en sevdiğim çorba oldu. İçerisinde bu kadar sarımsak var, çok kokar diye düşünmeyin. Kesinlikle bu söz konusu bile değil :) Size söyleyebileceğim tek şey, sarımsak sevmeyenler bile bu çorbayı çok sevecekler. 📝MALZEMELER •1 baş sarımsak •3 yemek kaşığı un •3 yemek kaşığı tereyağ veya zeytinyağ •1 paket az yağlı krema (250ml) •tuz •750ml su ve tavuk suyu karışımı •beyaz biber / karabiber •5 yemek kaşığı frenk soğanı Servis esnasında üzerine kızartılmış ekmek ve kırmızı toz biberli yağlı sos ✔️YAPILIŞI Tencereye yağımızı koyalım ve ocağı açalım. Yağ eriyince unu ilave edelim. Unun kokusu gidene kadar kavuralım. Üzerine suyunu döküp tuzunu ilave edelim. Su kaynamaya başlayınca kabuklarını soyduğumuz sarımsakları içerisine atalım. 5 dk daha kaynayan çorbaya kremayı da ekleyip, blenderleyelim. Son olarak ince ince kestiğimiz frenk soğanını ekleyip ocağı kapatalım. Çorbayı servis yaparken üzerine dökmek için; tavaya az miktarda zeytinyağını döküp, kırmızı toz biber ekleyelim. Ocağı açıp yakmadan sosunu hazırlayalım. Küp küp doğradığınız toz ekmeği baharatlayıp, fırında kızarttıktan sonra çorbanızın süslemesi ve lezzetini daha da artırmak İçin kullanabilirsiniz!

Hey there lovelies. Another weekend has come to an end, and we're starting another work week. Whether you got some rest, or just got some stuff done, I hope you are in a place where you feel you can face the next few days-- and if not, I hope you get some rest and get a chance to recoup. I've been hearing several folks running into some struggles--struggles brought on by others. Whether those who cause it intend to or not, I want you to know my friends, you don't deserve to be treated badly. You really don't. Don't let those people make you feel like you deserve that. You deserve to be happy, to feel safe, to feel comfortable, to feel like you, in your own skin, whatever that means for you.

I know you probably already know, but sometimes it's good to hear it from an outside source too-- you are not what other people think you are or expect of you. You are you. The ever wonderful, kind, unique, beautiful you. On hard days I know it's hard to see, but you're still there, and things will look up again. Be kind to yourself lovelies, you deserve the best, no matter what anyone says. Rest Well, I hope the start to your week turns out calm and kind to you <3

Omg came for LiS ages ago but literally finished SWBTS last week and just got to part two in he who drowned the world so seeing the art reblogged from you is insane lmao

Oh wow, that's awesome! I feel bad that I sometimes forget I have people who follow me for one thing but then I just start posting whatever I'm interested in 😂

I'm not an "influencer" and I'm not in it for the followers or fame, so I'm just glad someone else is into the non-LiS stuff I reblog. Wasn't SWBTS so good???

[ruddykite]

I take Russet (see below) everywhere I go. The rest of my cohort in my studio ask for him by name. Cringe culture is dead and I love being an adult.

Also big up @garlicsoups for helping me come up with the text in the yellow :^)

[he110sweet13]

Created by myself an @msmhari this morning. Neither of us have time to flesh out this fic right now, but wanted to share the dopamine.

Casting the OFMD Pride and Prejudice AU. (spoilers I guess? The book is 200 years old, if I spoil it, then I spoil it)

Starting with the major pairings:

Mr. Bingley and Jane- hopelessly in love, of course, Stede and Ed.

Mr. Darcy and Lizzy- Darcy is smart, competent, but generally perceived as an asshole. I give you, Mr. Izzy Hands. But as we all know, Izzy is the fandom bicycle. So who is our clever, cheeky, and a little bit mouthy Lizzy Bennet? Lucius it is.

Lydia and Mr Wickham- This one’s a bit cheeky, but it’s my tumblr and I do what I want. And I fully blame @msmhari for Wickham. Lydia is Archie. Don’t worry- we’ll get back to her. She’ll be just fine. Wickham is Ricky. He dies of natural causes. Murder is a natural cause right?

Now let’s round out our families. First, the Bennet Sisters: Kitty and Mary will be played by Frenchie and Wee John. They share a room.

Lady Catherine is Auntie. Terrifying and knows it. Unless you’re Lizzy.

If Lucius is Lizzy, where’s Pete? Pete is Mr. Collins. I’m sorry Black Pete fans, please don’t come for us.

Spanish Jackie and the Swede are the Gardiners. They love love and just want to see everybody happy. Bonus points if they don’t have to clean up after their family of muppets anymore.

Jim and Olu are Mr. Bingley’s (Stede) “Siblings”. Archie runs off with them. See? She’s fine. No one gives a fuck about Ricky/Wickham. Olu is married to Zheng. #garlicsoup

Fang is Darcy’s cousin Fitzwilliam. A sweet gentleman who softens Lizzy (Lucius) towards Darcy (Izzy)

Mary is the woman that Mr. Bingley (Stede) was rumoured to be courting when he fucked off to London for a bit. Meanwhile Jane (Ed) is moping to Lizzy in her pillow fort.

Not entirely sure what to do with Buttons, but hey, that’s nothing new.

There are two very important characters left. Mr and Mrs Bennet. And personally, my favorite of our little fan cast.

Mr Bennet is the leader of this little mess. He created it. Brought it into the world. This is his circus and these are his monkeys. Thus I give you, the Daddy of our little crew, David Jenkins.

So who is the counterpoint to our producer and creator? The organizer who steers the ship? Mrs Bennet loves pairing up her daughters, and clowns just as hard as any of the fans. Silly and a bit chaotic, and really just wants to see Jane get all Mooney over her husband?

Javid Denkins, aka David Jenkins in a bonnet.

You’re welcome.

Garlic-Infused French Comfort Soup This rich and creamy garlic soup is a delightful twist on the classic French dish, perfect for warming up in chilly weather. Its smooth texture and comforting flavors make it an ideal choice for any occasion. Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 bay leaf 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1 head of garlic (10-12 cloves), peeled and minced 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth Salt and black pepper, to taste 2 egg yolks Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 4 slices French baguette, toasted Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish Instructions: Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened. Incorporate the minced garlic and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden but not browned. Simmer the Soup: Add the thyme, broth, and bay leaf to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and heavy cream. Slowly whisk in a ladle of the hot soup to temper the eggs, preventing them from curdling. Thicken the Soup: Remove the soup from heat. Gradually pour the egg and cream mixture into the soup, stirring constantly until the soup is slightly thickened and creamy. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each with a slice of toasted baguette. Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top and garnish with fresh parsley.

Chapters: 12/12

Summary:

He could feel nothing but the burning in his lungs as he breathed in the fiery air, thick with smoke and ash. He should be grateful perhaps, that Zheng didn’t get to finish the job, but he doesn’t know if he can feel much of anything right now. They were leaving him.

He’d maybe known this day would come, he knew it would eventually but he hadn’t thought it would happen so quickly, and on the same day he lost Ed.

He deserved that too he supposed, Ed had finally realised he wasn’t worth it and left.

‘I think last night was a mistake.’ That was what he’d said, wasn’t it? A mistake. And the worst thing is that Stede knew he was right.

Edward Teach was far from the only pirate captain fascinated by Stede Bonnet. Captain Nicholas Hawthorn has had his eye on the strange gentlemen for quite a while now and when he hears that Blackbeard has left his love to live a life of a simple fisherman, the opportunity to strike is too good for Nicholas to resist. All the while Stede, feeling rejected by the people he loves, lets himself be taken in and pampered by this handsome stranger, not knowing that Captain Hawthorn has far more sinister plans for him.

Episode 8 au

[adickaboutspoons]

Too many beds: GarlicSoup fic. There are beds enough to accommodate them all. Archie is determined to put an end to that

Accidentally kidnapping a mafia boss: Stede/Ed SciFi AU 500K slowburn. Stede is the more-or-less outcast son of the wealthy Bonnet crime family who was never hard enough for The Life. He's selling his fully automated, self-sustaining space ship because Mary refuses to move to the exciting new colony on Mars. Ed fought his way to the top but now wants nothing more than to get out of The Life & idly investigates this ship as an option for doing so, but is MUCH more enthusiastic when this weird, charming, (attractive) man offers to show him around. During the tour, Stede accidentally activates the controls that seal the doors & initiate launch. There's no crew aboard & he has no idea how to stop or reverse it. They are stuck until they get to Mars in 7 months. Stede is mortified. Ed is delighted. Ed's crew thinks Stede must have done it on purpose & are determined to get their boss back. And retribution

Really nice guy who hates only you: Stede & Izzy Fairytale(ish) AU. Also a 500K slow-burn but it's their burning enmity for one another. Ricky is a nearly omnipotent, but deeply childish, magical creature who can manipulate scenarios to get what he wants. What he wants is for his 2 very favoritest pirates in the whole wide world to fall madly in love. You can't just MAKE people fall in love, but you can certainly engineer circumstances that would RESULT in people falling in love. So he does that. Their lives become a never-ending nightmarish sequence of meet-cutes & perilous situations in which they must rely on one another to survive. Everyone in their lives keeps commenting that this is clearly an enemies-to-lovers thing. Izzy starts to become convinced. Stede would rather die.

Academic rivals except it’s two teachers who compete to have the best class: Frenchie & Wee John, but Frenchie is teaching advanced stats & Wee John is teaching home ec, so they're not even in the same department, but Best Teacher of The Year always comes down to a heated competition between the 2 of them. They are secretly dating & keep a tally of their victories.

Divorce of convenience: Stede & Mary, obvs. That's just canon.

Too much communication: Also Stede & Mary, but this is a really sad story about their 1st year of marriage, & how they both REALLY tried to make it work, but how they talk past one another or exacerbated the situation by talking about things the other didn't connect with until all they really wanted is for the other person to shut up & stop being so annoying. This is the story of how Stede retreated into his books & Mary into her big glass of wine.

True hate’s kiss (only kissing your enemy can break a curse): Part of the Stede & Izzy AU. The only way to break the curse that Ricky has put them under is for them to kiss & for him to see how completely wrong & off-putting they are together.

Dating your enemy’s sibling: Canon-divergence fic where Stede knows he's gay from the start & distracts Nigel by flirting with him (badly). Nigel is one of those disgusting dudes who expresses his interest by being cruel & has always been into Stede, so he goes for it. Stede is in hell, but has to keep up the charade to keep his crew safe. He has to resort to increasingly outlandish gambits to excuse why he can't (won't) sleep with Nigel. Eventually he meets Ed; it's instantaneous sparks. At some point they end up kissing & Nigel sees it (possibly Stede confides his situation to Ed & Ed is trying to help?). It's a horrible, messy break-up with lots of shouting & breaking of Stede's stuff, but Nigel fucks off. Chauncey still comes after Stede for "defiling his dear brother".

Lovers to enemies: How Annie & Mary got to be Like That.

Hate at first sight: Stede & Izzy. Also just canon.

Love triangle where the two love interests get together instead: Canon divergence fic where, when Jim goes to plead Olu's case with Zheng, the two of them really hit it off & decide they're going to run away together & have their own boatmance.

Fake amnesia: A bedraggled figure approaches the inn, with nothing but the clothes on his back, a past he can't remember, & the singular conviction that his name is John. That's right - it's Calico Jack, back from the grave. Ed & Stede warily agree to help him get on his feet. But is his memory truly as blank as he claims? Pfft. Of course it's not. He's totally faking & out for revenge.

Soulmates who are fated to kill each other: Ed/Stede but they manage to cheat fate by means of fuckeries that just make it LOOK like each of them killed the other.

Strangers to enemies: Also just Stede & Izzy. Also just canon.

Instead of fake dating, everyone is convinced that you aren’t actually dating: It's fine. Really. It's gotten to the point that Stede just rolls with it now. He & Ed will go out to dinner & the server will bring them separate checks without asking. They'll go out dancing & some young buck will insinuate his way past Stede to dance all up on Ed. Stede isn't bothered. He knows Ed will dance his way back to him eventually. They go out for a drink & when Ed goes off to the bathroom, some hopeful will approach Stede & ask him to put in a good word with his friend. He used to make a game out of guessing whether the response to his insistence that, "He's my boyfriend, actually" would be "Good one, mate!" or "Is this a Make-a-Wish kind of situation" or even just an incredulous "You? Naaaah". But he's long since stopped even insisting now. They never believe him. So he has learned to deal with bartenders who slip Ed a phone number on a cocktail napkin along with his drink, & ingenues that bat their eyelashes at him & flash their cleavage, & the occasional poet or minstrel that publicly dedicates their newest work to Ed, or even those "modeling agents" that try to press their business cards on him. It's fine. It is. Really it is. Because at the end of the day, he knows that Ed is coming home with HIM.

Too hot to cuddle: Stede/Ed Post-canon - the weather on the island has been unrelentingly hot for weeks now with a humidity index that feels like you're wading through the air. Touching is unbearable. Even moving is unimaginable. It's so hot that neither of them can even bear to wear clothes. And that is NOT helping how sexually frustrated they're both feeling without any contact.

Love interest CEO is a himbo/bimbo who runs their company into the ground: Pretty sure this is just a Two Weeks Notice AU? Twist! Himbo Stede is the love interest of rival (but not rival for long) business owner Ed, & Long-suffering Hyper-competent Secretary That's ACTUALLY Keeping Everything Afloat, Lucius, is the love interest to Ed's Right Hand Man, Pete.

Nursing home au: (Anyone who knows about the STI rates at Assisted Care Facilities knows that they're basically non-stop knock shops.) Stede established the Revenge Floating Retirement Community with the intention of helping seniors "sail off into the sunset with dignity." He didn't anticipate exactly how amorous people get once they no longer have to worry about pregnancy & have ready access to Viagra & Astroglide. And it doesn't help that possibly his crew are bed-hopping just as much as their charges? So now he finds himself in a cross between a French Door Farce & and 80s sex comedy with octogenarians. Which might not be quite so dispiriting if it didn't seem like everyone was having sex except Stede. If only someone could help him learn he doesn't have to be so rigid.
