Character of a future RPG campain im going to participate. He's gonna be (very) based on Laios from Dungeon Meshi hehe

He's fascinated by monsters and the paranormal, and Isn't very good with people skills. There's not much to say about him yet because its too early, im still making his backstory lol. But before the campain he went to the military for a few months to get away from home, but he quitted because of being mistreated there.

But he has a little sister that went missing, and while searching for her he got attacked by... something...? And now is in a hospital, where the game will take place.

Im probably going to call him Leon but im not sure :P

Thoon cooking up some fried rice for his husbands, art by Tealix.

We really like the domesticity of their relationship a lot, and look to depict that more in upcoming works. The throuple have a very healthy relationship and take good care of each other. Thoon is a fairly decent cook, but his fried rice and casseroles are notoriously good.

Lore dump

...currently i am spiraling. For my lore i wanted to make dishes unique to it, as most of the people don't know what earth is, let alone the sol system. So people making things like Udon, Burgers, or literally any other dish makes no sense at all. So i began to make the dishes. But then i came across the first problem: What do i name it? That's easy for me to solve, i can just link the dishes to a faction and use the conlang i made for that faction to name the dish. but what about the ingredients? Now its more complicated.

what does each ingredient look like in its raw form? where is it found? what does it taste like? is it common or uncommon? can things that aren't supposed to be ingredients be used as them anyway? because we use tree bark as an ingredient. Tree bark: Cinnamon

well, okay. Now there is stuff like Star Gais, Sacrem, and Blaxkov. But mixing every ingredient wont work, as some of them clash in unexpected ways. Especally the spices. So what is the history on it? How did people find out exactly how to use this stuff? Im not talking "They spent time and researched it." No, that's lame. I want the entire ass history behind Anchalah. How in the divine hell did snake people figure out a bush that takes disguize as a literal ass rock makes roots going down hundreds of feet into the ground, to literally grow more "rocks"? Why would they do that? why would they eat it? I need every bit of information behind each ingredient as to how it was discovered.

But, what about the poisonous ingredients? For instance, here on earth we have a mushroom called Fly agaric, which is both Poisonous and Psychoactive. Well, guess what. We eat shit like peppers, which literally gives us the sensation that out mouth is on fire when we eat it. and we seek that sensation- Some species in singularity is going to wanna seek out ingredients that are poisonous to another.

Especially given the fact every species is different. The Hyperion isn't made completely up of humans after all. we have people who find sugar just as poisonous as arsenic is for humans. Well, given this, we can just make it so some ingredients are poisonous to others. Stuff like Elir is poisonous to most Mammalian species, but beneficial to almost every insectoid/fungoid species. Screw humans, its poisonous to them as well.

but what about the Lithoids?

OR THE MACHINES?????

machines are easy to solve. They simply need power. and if a machine is given the proper tech, it can eat food just like any person and convert it into more power. Or maybe analyze it to see its properties.

But what about the Lithoids? What would a species like the Bzadi eat? saying a lithoid only eats rocks is lame. We know they are made of rocks, but them eating rocks is as stupid as the fae is annoying. There has to be flavor, there has to be reason. I am talking rocks, minerals, metals, gems. But i am also talking more natural things like bones, chitin, keratin, or even plastic! Imagine a lithoid species that eats plastic! Although the stench of cooked plastic would be horrible to us, lithoids would either not smell it all-together, or smell it and find it amazing.

Okay, but now we get back to the whole "ores and rocks" thing from before. I need definition, i cant just say "oh, steve stevenstonon jr the XVII prime ate a rock for dinner", that is lame, that is boring. i need the specifics What rock did they eat? what are its properties? how was it discovered? why did lithoids decide to eat it? what to they cook it with? what temperatures are needed to melt it? What if a lithoid ate a strategic resource, like Carrium or Laronate? to them what do these things taste like? Does limestone taste like citrus? or do they find it spicy?

What kind of dishes can i make and produce with these metals and ores? What is the entire cooking process for these dishes??? We aren't even getting into the language root for the names of these dishes! for instance, the name "burger" came from Hamburg, Germany. After German immigrants made the "Hamburg Steak". i need as much information behind the things i am making as possible, even if no one will ever know about it a day in their life. if someone is eating "Çaaėn Koevar", what do each of those words literally mean? Why was "Çaaėn" used in it? is that a specific type of food, or a cooking style? if so, then would adding the word Çaaėn before the name of another dish like "Paruue" make it completely different? I mean, we do the same thing with our dishes all the time. Cause saying something like "Can i get chicken and pork?" will give you a much different dish than if you asked "Can i get chicken and pork dumplings". and then there is stuff like the Steakburger and shrimp fried rice... we use name combinations all the time to describe what these dishes are.

But most importantly, what meats are there? well, in the setting, i have already built a large catalogue of beasts. so why dont i just use the name of those beasts? Dungeon meshi type shit. I want dishes made with cuts of Recagra meat, pan fried with mesri or oeiia.

and this brings me to my next thing. people wont just cook in the same way from one culture to another. I mean, one species is literally made of fire. How do they cook? so now i need more cooking styles. Names for these cooking styles. Where did they originate from? who used it first and why? What was the first dish made with this cooking style? was the food good? so then maybe Çaaėn is another word for fried or sautéed? or an entirely different thing? What if a species cooks with radiation? or cold instead of heat?

The previous was a draft, and now that i have expanded on this a little bit more i would like to return to it. Previously i mentioned Recagra meat. Recagra meat would be hard to cook with, let alone gather.

The Recagra is a dangerous creature, effectively a massive flesh-tentacle meatball. If you get inflicted with its venom either through getting attacked by it, or touching its blood, you will become a Recagra over the course of one very painful year.

But lets say you manage to kill it. The meat needs to be prepared properly in order to prevent getting poisoned. Doing so requires multiple things:

The cut of meat must be cured and drained of all bodily fluids. Mainly being blood and/or venom.

The meat must be left to dry for about 3 days (180 hours, or about 7 and a half Terran days)

After drying, the meat must be marinated before cooking. Otherwise its just gross.

When cooking, it must be done in a very specific way as to cook out the rest of the venom in the meat that didnt come out during the first step.

Now you can see how much it takes to even get the meat to be edible, yes?

This makes it difficult to eat. But with this, it will probably become the Pufferfish or Wagyu of singularity due to the amount of effort it takes to properly cook.

We will be using the Çaaėn cooking method for this, which originates from the Kingdom of Brass, an empire comprised with entities of fire. This cooking method, due to the entities being made from fire, requires the food to be wrapped in a a special cloth, before being dunked into lava very slowly and carefully. Usually done on meats.

When done properly, the meat should come out very flavorful, but a little dry if not prepared properly beforehand. Luckily, we marinated our cut of Recagra for two days beforehand. The moisture from that should be able to keep it juicy, and even make it a bit tender.

After this, all you need to do is plate it with some other things like mashed dineja or a nice Blaxkov beverage, and your all set!

Happy dining!

So, uh, I saw Ginny Di's merfolk homebrew video.

Guess who now has an octopus mermaid character who was raised by pirates. Who I'll probably never get to play because I mostly DM.

More weird yeast starter set up with brewing leftovers, this time using a little of the last batch of sake lees. I know you can use that more directly for making bread dough, but this should certainly be swarming with yeast and making a starter with it to let go quasi-sourdough seemed well worth a try.

I started this batch with 50g of mixed rice and buckwheat flours, and about a 2-3 teaspoon glob of the sake lees. Hopefully the buckwheat will help with souring, because it just likes to do that. Usually I just go by volume and get a thinner mixture, but I decided to try weighing out the flour going in for a change.

This is pretty thick and sticky right now, but it should liquify more as it goes. The rubber band is to mark the rough surface level, to get a better idea of how it rises in the jar.

[I LOVE THIS PLACE. THE LOCAL DIVE... WE'RE A DIVE WITH REFINED FOOD. TAKIN' AUTHENTIC MEXICAN COOKING... IT'S NOT LIKE ANY MEXICAN FOOD I'VE HAD BEFORE. TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. SOME MEXICAN CREMA.]

[whynotbread]

Food in the Ome Edo largely descends from the food of the Xenifojan empire. It is split between the two cultures that make up the Ome Edo, the majority culture, the Sonexya, in the southern Ome Edo; and the minority culture, the Hanefaya, in the northern Ome Edo. The Hanefaya's cuisine is closer to the ancestral Xenifojans' than the Sonexya, but both are significantly different than the Xenifojans. So, let's look at one dish that is the staple of both the Sonexya and the Hanefaya.

The filled and steamed bread roll is called Koho by the Sonexya and Daho by the Hanefaya, with the two having only very minor differences. The Sonexyan Koho is a steamed bread roll that is slit open and stuffed with diced meat (generally goat or chicken) and flavorings such as mint, with either steamed or raw vegetables (nearly always including carrots and onion) served on the side. A Koho could also be filled with a cut-up soft boiled egg. This variant is called an Ovara Noko, a Victory Meat. It was created during the economic slump created by the past wars to avoid the expense of eating meat. The hard egg whites and runny yolk were suggested to substitute for the texture of meat and its juices respectively. It was unpopular when first introduced, but after the end of the economic slump better-tasting local variations have become popular.

The Hanefaya Daho is a very simmilar dish, also being a steamed and filled bread roll. The Daho is filled with a filling of diced meat (generally chicken or mutton) and vegetables (generally carrots, onion, and bell pepper) before it is steamed. A Daho could also be made in a nearly bite sized form filled only with cheese and flavorings, such as garlic and mint. A Daho in this form is called a Daho Adeka, a Daho to talk, since it is served between meals at social gatherings. Its origin is unknown, but it is perceived as a staple of Hanefaya culture since it uses garlic, which is thought to be a distinctly Hanefaya flavoring among the cultures of Exodsa.

Cookbook Of Many Things: Dragon Salts.

Made from the ground down scales of a dragon and melted salt, then let to re-harden and crack down again. They are a salt so they enhance the taste of whatever their used in with the aspect of what we dragon their from. Example is a red dragon salt will make something have a bit of spice, like using it on chicken would have a cajun style flavor to it. If used in the creation of a meal they add a dragon aspect to the effect of the meal.
