Hello poke cake from 1979

And he has a cook book coming out in July.

Stavrouakis' work has always meant so much to me, I collect his publishing as I can. I wanted to share some of his depictions of Greek Jews and our clothing, especially the ones I haven't seen shared online.

I like the song Sugar in my coffee because coffee is something that I haven't tried, but I have the feeling that I wouldn't like it, but also because it feels like a story about asexuality in a way. Like, the guy doesn't like coffee, but meets a "coffee guy" that calls them a child because they says that they are more of a hot chocolate guy themselves. The coffee guy drives the other to his coffee warehouse because surely his coffee will make them change their taste. Before they drinks it the singer is like: Yes, this is it, I'll be able to relate to other people about this and talk about it. They hate it. I don't think I have to explain what my brain understood in this song. (I know that he goes by they/he, but in the song the other is referred only as he, so I only used they to make sure it was easy to undertand who I was talking about every time).

I thought about searching the song in google before posting this and this is the third thing that shows up:

So yes, I was right.

Standing at a rainy cold bus stop and thinking about recipe books in the Neath. Battered old things from the Surface that perhaps sat in a cupboard for a good few years until their owners accepted that they couldn't afford the import on those ingredients now, and started crossing them out and replacing them with mushrooms, lichen powders, and the less dubious local meats. Glossy-covered ones titled in looping script, printed on something not quite unlike typical paper, trying to call on the tradition and elegance of a sunlit kitchen and not quite getting all the way there. Books that embrace the Neath entirely, with indexed guides to avoiding toxic ingredient lookalikes and descriptive flavour profiles entirely without comparison to Surface fare. I want to peek inside a PC's cupboards. let me see their recipes.

i finally got my sanji cookbook!

But also... Andreil on the great British bake off (they have celebrity seasons)

Look, I'm gonna be honest.

It's a disaster in two parts.

Neil is there EXPLICITLY because Stuart found out that he had been asked to go do it because he is technically British. Stuart has asked him to be the bane of Paul Hollywood's existence and is willing to do quite a bit to make the man's life hell.

"He knows what he did." is all Stuart will say on the matter.

Neil agrees to come be a Baker on the stipulation that Andrew also gets to come. Andrew has no interest in baking other than what it can produce for him to eat, he has no desire to do the laborious task of baking himself.

Stuart offers him an Aston.

Andrew agrees.

Neil is a nightmare in the tent. He hates desserts. He hates measuring. He has never done a single prep bake. He has no idea what the desserts are during the technical challenge. He just goes with his gut (his iron gut). He produces three straight desserts that Paul will not let Prue eat for fear that she will just straight up die if she eats it. He is a pile of misery upon consuming all three.

When Neil is kicked off in round one no one is surprised. Paul pats Neil on the back as he leaves the tent and Neil just leans in, "Stuart Hatford sends his regards." he says now that the mic has been removed. Paul Hollywood's tan fades but Neil doesn't look back.

Andrew is a nightmare for a completely different reason and that reason is that he very visibly and honestly does not give a single flying fuck about what he's doing but he's doing quite well. He is the most boring man on camera, zero quips, won't interact with Noel and whoever the fuck is the other presenter by this point, just him doing exactly what the recipe requires and then he always makes a point of grabbing whatever Paul and Prue have judged and taking it all back to his station so that he can eat it. He stares straight into the camera as he eats an entire three tier cake. He dedicates every week he is Star Baker to his inspiration: Kevin Day.

Andrew makes it all the way to the Finals with impressive bakes that he basically just decided on 100% by how much he thinks it would upset Kevin to watch him eat it knowing that he SHOULD be doing weight training for the olympics. ("Weight TRAINING not Weight GAINING Andrew! Do you have to hold up two fingers as you eat the entire thing? Can you at least PRETEND it's not to SPITE me?" Kevin wails as Andrew calls him for the post-credit scene where the star bakers call their families usually but Andrew just uses it so everyone can hear Kevin Day lose his mind on Public Access.)

Andrew gets to the finals and his show stopper....it's immaculate. It's gorgeous. It's a work of art. Paul Hollywood is looking at this feat of modern baking engineering in wonder.

He shakes Andrew's hand before he even tastes it and-

"Stuart Hatford sends his regards."

Paul Hollywood is now nervous to eat this cake. Does he look out at the gathered friends and family of the contestants and see Stuart Hatford? Does he remember what he did?

He eats the cake because show obligations and it tastes as good as it looks but he is oddly silent as Prue talks about it.

Andrew Wins and Paul Hollywood stays exactly one entire party's width away from Neil, Stuart, and Andrew during the entire victory picnic.

Andrew gives his post bake-off speech and flat out says it was kind of boring and he wants to go home to America. The next scene is him driving off with Neil in an Aston Martin.

Edit: Thanks @the-inner-musings-of-a-worm for the idea once again!

I think part of why I like Dylan b Hollis's baking/cooking videos so much is because they're showcasing the more human part of making food. He's experimenting and learning, having fun and making mistakes, laughing over silly instructions - it reflects the average person's kitchen and experience so much more than a lot of sterilized baking videos do these days. Sitting alone in a kitchen with pre-prepped ingredients, doing it perfectly and flawlessly, has always made most cooking shows feel so distant, like I can't recreate the conditions so it'll never be that perfect. Dylan is actively pulling out the stuff from his cabinets, on a counter with a bit of clutter, using forks instead of mashers. He doesn't always get it right- and makes videos about his investigations into how to fix those mistakes. It feels like he's baking at a more understandable and accessible level than a lot of mainstream baking shows. Makes the videos feel like they have so much more soul to em, even without the humor he adds. It's awesome.

Not sure where it came from but I love the Latino Shadow headcanon

Honestly theres something really special about keeping a cookbook. It's quite literally a physical mark of your making into the world. It says "i was here and so were my people. Here's what gave me sustenance and kept me alive". You're literally writing history in it, even if it's "just" your own. I can't stress this enough. Even if you don't intend on having other people look at it, cookbooks can and DO get passed to family members and it's such a sweet thing. But like! I never met my paternal grandmother, but I'm familiar with her writing and her recipes. I'm really glad she wrote it and really glad dad kept it. Do write it for yourself, though! I personally would like someone to have mine, plus i also love talking to the 7 winds, so i leave my little comments on the recipes and where/when i got it, so whoever inherits it Will Know about my lottle tastes and opinions and trivia. I try to get people to write on my cookbook themselves, too!! I really like having them write the recipe themselves too, if they can. What's a better way to show someone's impact in your life than through the food they make? There are many handwritings in my cookbook. Many people taught me many things and having their touch on this thing that is very much part of me or some corny shit just makes me feel loved. Anyways. Please, write down your recipes. Collect recipes from your friends. Don't rely just on the internet for cookin. Keep a cookbook!!!

Fyodor/Nikolai/Sigma, domestic au, but they are painfully slavic and living their best lives, is something that can be so personal.

(this post took forever cause I essentially had to make it twice. I didn't look at what blog I originally posted this to the first time round. shoot me)

I know it's really silly but a thing I still want to do and have always wanted to do is find a cookbook with a bunch of recipes that sound good and cook my way through the entire cookbook

[rabbitsonthemoon]

Shadow's ongoing preference for coffee will never not be funny to me. Legit there's a recipe for a drink in the official cookbook called Caffeine Control, and the blurb says he remembers Professor Gerald drinking it a lot.

*polishes shiny badge of 'I headcanoned Shadow as a caffeine addict before it was cool'*

[sonknuxadow]
