What drinks do you think the Amaterasu peeps would have

While the game only mentions coffee I cannot accept them all drinking coffee that's boring

I hardly know what even constitutes as a drink in the common understanding of the term as I'm a polish man living under a rock, and thus I have done extensive research on the classification of liquids and it basically turns out anything that's liquid is a drink unless it isn't -- which, okay, fuck you. I have forgotten what the original ask might've entailed and thus the answer evolved into "assigning every character affiliated with amaterasu corp what drinks they'll like" which *scrolls up* close enough whatever, forcing you to listen anyway. List of characters I count for the amaterasu folks: makoto, huesca, akira, swank, seth, martina, yomi, dominic, guillaume, fake zilch (amaterasu's officially licensed hitman & one of """yomi's closest advisors""" whatever the fuck that means because you and I both know that yomi wouldn't accept advice from anybody unless that's just a fancy word for a very platonic companion whom he has a very strong, passionate, very platonic mind you brotherly bond a bromance a comradeship if you will,)

Swank is goldwasser personified. He loves that shit. Also always has a bimber (or vodka/starka. but preferably bimber) bottle on hand too, no one knows where he stores it he just kinda reaches into his coat and gets it

Me 🤝 Seth (tea drinkers). Has to have tea at least two times a day, doesn't matter what kind they'll drink anything as long as it has leaves in it. Favourites include black tea (optional honey and lemon), mint, chamimole, melissa and sage. He's also partial to pickle juice (makes his own pickles in the basement, they're not wasting any of that pickle water he's chugging that shit just to feel something) and pouring cucumber soup (filtered) to a cup and just drinking it. I don't know what's with Seth and cucumbers. Also would like kefir, probably.

Guillaume likes anything that's sweet or fizzy or whatever, has to have a stash of oranżada and coca-cola somewhere in his house at all times. Sometimes she just opens the cola and lets it degas in the fridge call that a. I don't know. Often makes hot chocolate. Once it offered to give Seth some but was extremely disturbed when he ate the milk skins too and that was the last time she did it for him. Not a drink, but she also eats tangerines and grapefruit via biting it with her shark teeth and sucking out the juices then tossing up the dried fruit remains into the trash can

Dominic makes kompot, you know, the polish juice that's warm and significantly worse and watery as fuck and all your older family members love it for some reason even though. But we all got our preferences whatever. Get this man some wine too.

Speaking of wine, Yomi is Kanai Ward's resident wine man if it has wine in it's name he's gonna drink it, especially mulled wine. Also likes champagne and nalewka. Plus has a fondness for fanta (or any carbonated drink with fruit flavors) but he took it into his head that it's cringe now or not respectable anymore or for 12 year olds only. No one cares except for him, it's a fucking drink. But he also thinks soy feminizes men and Makoto is putting chemicals in the rain so that's not the worst one of his beliefs by a long shot

Martina nominated for #1 coffee drinker, also really likes inka which is just polish coffee but without caffeine. probably a cappuchino enjoyer i don't know never had coffee it smells like shit

Dr. Huesca has sworn off alcohol, to be honest he has sworn off everything that isn't essential to survival because he's always on that fucking grind (unethical research), and probably hates himself or something. He likes water that's preferably fresh. Doesn't have to be though it's not like it can expire right.

Akira... probably likes soured milk. also, he eat kogel mogel like it's a drink you're supposed to eat it with a spoon not sip it like like a fine cup of cocoa

Fake Zilch survives off of 7 cans of monster a day. As a rule of thumb, the more genuinely terrible a drink is, the more he likes it

Makoto probably also has an egregious taste (his profile says he likes raw ham and dislikes olives, which in my eyes makes every opinion that man has automatically invalid) but I don't think humanity has yet discovered the kinda drinks he'd like yet so- oh wait, theres the leftover salad sauce/juice. and kefir. and mountain dew.

so i made a charcuterie board yesterday for a partay and now i'm thinking about what each ghoul would go for first??? like the cheese or the carrot sticks or the meat or what 🍊😇🫶🧡 and what wouldn't get touched at all.... like how nobody ate the figs i put out....

I am a charcuterie board BITCH. I make one (or something like one) whenever I have company. It is my favorite way to eat (and made of my favorite THINGS to eat) so I am so happy you came to me with this because of COURSE I have thoughts. Aeon: Proscuitto. Right out of the package, before Cirrus is even done making it. Once it's done, he is all about the pomegranate seeds. Aether: Salami and smoked cheddar on those fancy crackers Cirrus insists on buying that no one really likes (Aether eats them out of pity). Aurora: Grapes, lots and lots of grapes. And then the cranberry cheddar cheese that no one but her likes. Cirrus: Apple compote on a cracker with some blue cheese. Cumulus: Makes the perfect bite of: bread/cracker, soft brie, apple slice, and a drizzle of honey. She doesn't tell anyone else how good it is--she doesn't want them to eat it all before she gets to luxuriate in how good it is. Dewdrop: Bread. Spicy Salami. Sharp cheddar. Like five olives. All stacked together. Will single handedly eat all of the olives if no one watches him (he's like me for real). Mountain: Herbed chevre piled on those weird crackers (he actually does like them). Sunshine: the spicy pickles. Then immediately a hunk of bread when she realizes they are hotter than she expected. Swiss: Candied pecans. He makes some stupid joke about eating nuts too--no one laughs (maybe they just didn't hear him). Rain: Is the reason there is smoked salmon on the board. Will sit by it and eat it all peice by peice, unaccompanied, unless someone intervenes.

For some reason, if Cirrus puts citrus fruit on the board (manderins, pomelo, grapefruit) no one eats them, even though everyone promises her they will. She doesn't put them on anymore. Also sweet chevre never goes over well--even though every tries it and says it's good, there is always a big hunk left over.

Another book on canning and victory gardens is Home Canning in Wartime: A Victory Guide to Canning, Preserving, Pickling, and Drying (1943) by Elsie Clark. Notice the phrasing in chapter one that likens a woman's effort in the kitchen to a soldier serving in the war. It was part of wartime propaganda encouraging every American to participate in the war effort and military-industrial complex even if they were not enlisted.

Included here is a page of recipes for canning grapefruit, peaches, pears, and pineapple, as well as a time table for processing fruits and vegetables. Image transcripts are below the cut.

The Browne Popular Culture Library (BPCL), founded in 1969, is the most comprehensive archive of its kind in the United States.  Our focus and mission is to acquire and preserve research materials on American Popular Culture (post 1876) for curricular and research use.

1. Canning in Wartime

"LADY," says Uncle Sam, "it's your war. Win it."

You are the top sergeant in your own kitchen, and that's one of the most important battlegrounds in the war on the Home Front. Solving the food problem is in your hands—and it's a job that takes a good deal of skill, and thought, and hard work. You've been baking delicious cakes without sugar and preparing miraculous meat dishes without meat. You're spreading the butter thinner, and using margarine. You've budgeted your ration points so that they supply the family with the greatest nourishment and food value. And those freckles on your nose, and that crick in your back prove that you've been doing your share of hoeing in the Victory Garden.

Now here's another job that you can tackle just as important as anything you've done yet—and that's canning a supply of fruits and vegetables for your family.

Can What You Can

After you've taken what you need for your table out of your garden, can every surplus for future use. There are just as many vitamins and minerals in canned foods as in fresh cooked foods, and you will be storing up health and energy for your family. Your ancestors preserved and pickled and brined and salted food to last them through the winter, because they couldn't go down to the corner grocery to replenish their supply. Now that [page ends]

Grapefruit

(yield: 1 1/2 medium size = 1 pint)

Wash and dry firm, ripe grapefruit. Peel off thick skin, along with white membrane. With a sharp knife remove sections of grapefruit. Pack firmly into sterilized jars. Cover to within Y2 inch of the top with grapefruit juice. (Sugar may be added when used.) Seal according to lids used (see page 25). Process pints and quarts in boiling-water bath for 10 minutes.

Peaches

(yield: 2 to 2 1/2 pounds = 1 quart; 1 bushel = 18 to 24 quarts)

Use freshly picked, firm, ripe peaches. Grade for uniformity and degree of ripeness. Put enough for 1 quart into a wire basket. Plunge into boiling water for about 1 minute until skins slip off easily. Then plunge into cold water. Remove from water. Quickly slip skins from peaches, cut in half, and pit. Clingstone peaches may be canned whole if you wish. Drop pieces as you cut them in a salt solution to prevent discoloration. (Use 1 tablespoon salt to 1 quart of water.)

Make a syrup of 1 cup of sugar to 2. cups of water; or 1/2 cup of sugar plus 1/2 cup of honey or syrup to 2 cups of water. Bring to boil. Simmer peaches in the hot syrup for 4 or 5 minutes to shrink them. Pack tightly into hot sterile jars, cut side down, to 1/2 inch of the top. Bring syrup to a boil. Pour boiling hot over peaches to within 1/2 inch of the top. Seal according to lids used (see page 25). Process in boiling-water bath for 15 minutes.

WITHOUT SUGAR. Can peaches in their own juice. Crush soft or imperfect fruit, add a small amount of water to start juice, and a few cracked pits for flavor. Cook, covered, for about 5 minutes until fruit is soft. Strain. Bring to a boil. Simmer prepared peaches in this juice for 4 or 5 minutes, pack and process as above.

Pears

(yield: 2 to 2 1/2 pounds = 1 quart; 1 bushel = 25 to 28 quarts)

Can pears when they are very slightly under-ripe. Grade for uniformity. Work with enough fruit for 1 quart. Wash. Peel with a stainless steel knife. If pears are small, can whole, removing core with an apple corer. If they are large, cut in half and core. Drop them into a salt solution to prevent discoloring (1 table-spoon salt to 1 quart of water). Prepare a medium syrup of 1 cup of sugar to 2 cups of water; or 1/2 cup of sugar plus 1/2 cup of honey or syrup to 2 cups of water. Bring to boil. Allow 1 to 1 1/2 cups syrup for 1 quart. Simmer pears in the syrup 4 to 8 minutes, according to ripeness and size. Pack into hot sterile containers, cut side down, to within 1/2 inch from the top. Cover with boiling syrup. Seal according to lids used (see page 25). Process in the boiling-water bath for 20 minutes.

VARIATIONS: Add a few drops of mint extract and a little green coloring for minted pears; a piece of ginger root for a gingery flavor; or a few red cinnamon candies for spiciness.

Pineapple

(yield: 2, medium sized = 1 quart; 1 crate of 30 pineapples = 12 to 16 quarts)

COLD PACK. Select pineapples that are ripe, but not soft. Twist off top. Scrub. Cut crosswise into slices about 1/2 inch wide. Peel slices, removing eyes carefully. Trim and cut out core with a doughnut cutter if you wish to leave slices whole. Otherwise core and cut into convenient pieces. (Use peelings and cores for juice.) Pack into sterile jars. Cover to within I/2 inch from the top with a boiling hot thin or medium syrup of I cup of sugar to 2 or 3 cups of water; or 1/2cup sugar plus 1/2 cup corn syrup; or 1/2 cup sugar plus 1/2 cup honey to 2 cups of water. Allow about 1 cup of syrup to 1 quart jar. Seal according to lids used (see page 25). Process in boiling-water bath for 30 minutes.

I'm one of those 'i don't like sweet and savory' people and like. the answer is yes. I hate carrots and sweet potatoes. I don't like corn very much either, but especially sweet corn or elotes. if a vinagarette is too sweet it doesn't taste good to me. the flavor combo is genuinely not good to me even if it occurs naturally. yes this does mean I don't eat enough vegetables xD

That’s totally fair! It can just be very hard to tell where the line is if you’re not someone who dislikes that combo, you know? Like…what about citrus fruits? Oranges have a fairly pronounced sweetness, so I can see how they would be out with savory food, but what about limes? Can you squeeze a lime over your tacos? What about lemons or grapefruits? I think you could ask these questions to three different people who dislike sweet+savory and get three different answers.

It’s not that it’s an invalid preference to have. It’s just that different people mean different things by it. You hate carrots and sweet potatoes. Some people love corn and carrots and sweet potatoes and peas, but hate honey mustard. Some people who claim to hate sweet+savory never even consider that this might apply to things like honey mustard or sweet pickles, but they can’t stand the combo of meat & fruit or the use of warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, etc in any meal except dessert. Which can get kinda confusing to people like me who love to frankenstein flavors together.

Spring Possibilities - What To Do With Your Life this Spring!

By the March finally rolls around, I am ready for warm weather, sandals and dresses! I’m ready for long walks in the park with Amos, bringing fresh flowers into the house, drinking a glass of wine on the porch and everything else that comes with spring! When the flowers and trees starts to bloom and the earth is coming back to life, it seems I feel the same way! There is so much hope in the spring and possibility is everywhere…but, just in case you’re not feeling inspired quite yet, here are a few ideas for things to do this spring season! Enjoy!

Get outside and exercise! Go for a bike ride, play pickle ball or take a walk! Spring is such a gorgeous time of year and there’s just something about being in nature (and exercise) that lifts your spirits!

Clean out your closet! Go through your clothes and donate or sell anything that you don’t love or that doesn’t fit! After you’ve cleared some space, put together 10 - 15 spring outfits that you love! This way, when you’re running late, you have something ready to put on and be out the door in no time!

Be sure to update your basics! Consider getting a new short sleeve white tee, a new pair of jeans, a new pair of flat sandals and versatile sneakers that will take you through the season! Consider looking into sustainable brands that are caring for our environment! If you read my blog post on Friday, you know that Sézane is environmentally friendly company that doesn’t compromise on style! Also, for sneakers consider Veja! “Veja counts impeccable attention to detail as a signature and is known for using sustainable replacements. Veja also partners with Atelier Sans Frontières, an organisation that helps people who have been incarcerated or are otherwise struggling to find work, to employ workers to prepare orders. These sneakers are so cute, comfortable and well priced and you’ll feel good about purchasing them!

Set a beautiful spring table! Go outside and cut whatever is blooming and arrange it on your table! Pull out your best dishes and make something delicious for lunch or dinner!

One of my favorite dishes is this Garlic Honey Chicken! …it’s so delicious, perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special dinner with guests…and so easy to put together! Serve alongside my famous Coconut Rice for a dinner everyone will rave about!

Make a plate of Deviled Eggs for Easter or anytime! I made these last year and had so much fun garnishing them and putting the platter together! The red ones are pickled and my favorites, but they’re all good and almost everyone loves Deviled Eggs!

Plan a getaway! Be sure to take a look at the travel guide section of Crazy Blonde where you’ll find in-depth travel guides that will help you decide where to go, what to do, where to eat and shop and where to stay! Planning a trip ahead of time ensures that you’ll have a great time and you’ll save money if you plan in advance!

Eat with the seasons! Farmer’s Markets are filled with local produce and as it’s gets warmer, the selection improves! It’s important to support local farms because the food is fresher and healthier, you’re supporting local families, it brings the community together, it preserves small farm land, it is more environmentally friendly for a number of reasons, and it preserves genetic diversity in our food.

Here’s what’s in season this spring…artichokes, fennel, asparagus, mint, cilantro, beets, arugula, peas, radishes, carrots, celery, onions. broccoli and cauliflower.

Grab your fluffy friend if you have one and get outside for a walk! Walking is one of the best exercises you can do! It’s low impact and when you walk quickly enough it’s great cardio, plus it gives you an opportunity to be out in nature and get some fresh air! Walking Amos is something I look forward to!

I love to scent our home with candles and I change them out with the seasons! Nest has the most delicious scents and one of my favorites is the Grapefruit candle! It’s a light, fresh scent that most everyone loves! I also love the Lime Zest & Matcha and it’s perfect for the spring season!

Enjoy the boutique below that’s filled with items from this post plus a few things I’m loving!

Dealing with Pregnancy Cravings: Healthy Alternatives and Moderation

Pregnancy is a transformative and beautiful journey and it often comes with its share of fair challenges, one of which is dealing with pregnancy cravings.

Sometimes this is absolutely normal to feel these intense cravings during pregnancy but it is necessary to make a balance between satisfying those cravings as well as maintaining a healthy lifestyle as well.

Let’s learn more and explore some of the pregnancy tips and alternative options to manage cravings in pregnancy through healthier choices.

Most Common Pregnancy Cravings

Pregnancy cravings can depend on person to person sometimes from salty to sweet and sour to spicy as well. These cravings are enhanced due to hormonal changes and the need for nutrition.

But fulfilling every craving can lead to weight gain that is excessive and some health issues. We should adopt a mindful approach to cravings is necessary.

Dealing with Pregnancy Cravings

1. Listen to Your Body

Pay attention always to what your body is trying to tell you. Pregnancy cravings sometimes indicate a specific deficiency of nutrients. For example, a chocolate craving indicates this basic need for magnesium.

You should consult with your doctor to make sure you are meeting your nutritional requirements from time to time.

2. Moderation is Key

It is okay to indulge occasionally but moderation is always essential. Savor a small portion of the potato chips bag instead of finishing the entire bag.

In this way, you can control your cravings and satisfy your hunger without compromising your health.

Healthy Alternatives for Common Cravings

1. Sweet Cravings

Choose natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.

Consider fresh fruits or dried fruits with no added sugars.

Yogurt with berries can provide a sweet and satisfying treat.

2. Salty Cravings

Choose rice cakes or whole-grain crackers instead of traditional chips.

Snack on air-popped popcorn without excessive butter and salt.

Roasted nuts or seeds can be a nutritious alternative to salty snacks.

3. Sour Cravings

Include citrus fruits like oranges or grapefruits in your diet.

Pickles in moderation can satisfy sour cravings without excess calories.

Greek yogurt with a splash of lemon or lime can be a refreshing option.

4. Spicy Cravings

Experiment with mild spices and herbs to add flavor without excessive heat.

Include salsa with fresh vegetables as a spicy yet healthy dip.

Opt for homemade chili with lean protein and plenty of veggies.

Are pregnancy cravings what the baby wants?

Cravings during pregnancy may not always indicate that the unborn child is communicating their preferences. Rather, cravings are frequently linked with changes in the body as well as hormones during pregnancy.

Most common pregnancy cravings are mostly said to it caused by a combination of hormonal fluctuations, changes in taste and smell sensitivity, and nutritional needs, and though the exact root of cravings is still unknown.

Cravings may occasionally be the body's attempt to make up for nutritional deficiencies. Perhaps a chocolate craving may point to a deficiency in magnesium. The body does not always require what the body craves, therefore it is necessary to remember that.

Giving in to every craving without moderation can result in a diet that is not balanced and even medical conditions.

Besides this, pregnancy cravings are a common aspect of pregnancy and are totally normal too. This is essential for new mothers to handle them in a way that offers overall wellness for both their developing baby and for themselves.

What happens if you ignore pregnancy cravings?

While there might not be serious consequences from providing into pregnancy cravings, you have to find a balance between offering intermittent cravings and leading a healthy lifestyle. Cravings can be part of your body's method of waking you when specific nutrients are needed during pregnancy.

You run the risk of hunger if you completely give in to these cravings. Hidden weird pregnancy cravings can lead to stress and frustration, which are negative to an individual's overall well-being.

Yet, it is just as important to avoid giving in to every craving to the point of excess because doing so can result in unhealthy weight gain and other issues.

The health of the growing fetus and the expectant mother depends on a well-balanced diet, small amounts, and the use of alternatives that are more nutritious.  To rule out any nutritional concerns, speaking with a doctor is advised if cravings are serious or persistent. more >>>

can't stop thinking about armin becoming a dad

tags: just something random, fluff, dilf!armin

he'd be hesitant as fuck when you tell him you're pregnant

"are you sure you read it right honey"

"it literally says pregnant right here min"

well fuck

overthinking

are you two financially stable enough???

are you both emotionally ready???

cue nervous breakdown

but fuck the thought of his baby in your belly??

like...... he did that

he put that there

and goddamn you glow when you're pregnant

you're already a fucking goddess in his eyes and now....... sheesh

he's so eager to fulfill your needs

rubbing your feet, rubbing your back

rubbing lotion over your bump

he talks to your belly every damn day

"you're gonna be so cute, just like your mommy"

he doesn't understand your cravings but he supports them

to the fast food worker: "i'm sorry but my wife will absolutely murder me if i don't get exactly 9 pickles on her burger. please."

he buys parenting books

and reads them to you (and your belly)

"yknow reading is really good for the baby"

his friends are already tired of hearing about your pregnancy

armin won't shut up about it

"baby's the size of a grapefruit now. isn't that crazy"

groans

he won't let you do anything when you hit the third trimester

cue nervous breakdown again

he's a WRECK in the delivery room

and yes he cries when your baby pops out

gets lowkey jealous of you bc you get to hold the baby first

absolutely in love as soon as he lays eyes on them

"hi, you're finally here"

he keeps squishing their cheeks in awe

newborn stage is ez pz

it's the toddler stage that kicks his ass

so much sass???

"uncle eren lets me have cookies for breakfast at his house"

"oh does he??"

the most attentive dad at the playground

but also lowkey helicopter dad

"please don't lick the swing set"

"please don't eat the dirt"

"please stop jumping on your mother"

he cries at the first day of school

and he cries at their graduation

"i'm so proud of you 🥺"
