Sebek: W-Waka-sama?

MC: You heard the dude. Anyway, I'm going to trespass as usual.

Malleus: *chuckles* Our door is open.

Sebek: Stop speaking rudely to Lilia-sama!

MC: Shut up, croc.

Sebek: !!!

Vil: It's once in a lifetime opportunity.

MC: Not my cup of beer.

Vil: It's tea.

MC: I don't drink tea.

AITA for not feeding my mom's dog by hand?

My (F23) mom (F55) has a dog named Lacey who is a 4 year old chihuahua/papillon mix. My mom has turned Lacey into a spoiled purse dog. Lacey refuses to walk on grass, or even leave the house if the temperature is below 68 degrees (20 celsius). In fact Lacey refuses to walk at all most days, and will scratch your leg and whine until you pick her up and carry her. If you're sitting down she'll do the same thing because she wants to be in your lap. If you ignore her she'll yip constantly and shiver until you give in and hold her. She also won't eat any brand of dog food, so my mom cooks for her twice a day. She gets 1/2 cup of ground turkey for breakfast, and 1/2 cup of unseasoned chicken and plain rice for dinner. She also rarely gets stuff like carrots or blueberries as treats.

A couple months ago my mom drove across the country to visit family, and left Lacey with me. She was only supposed to be gone a week, but ended up staying much longer due to a family emergency. She left Lacey with me and gave me very strict instructions on how to feed her (what time, it has to be cooked and unseasoned, you can't cook it all at once and then reheat it it has to be fresh or she won't like it, etc) but she also included something I didn't know about Lacey's routine: the dog won't eat out of a bowl or off a plate, you have to hand feed her. I told my mom that's ridiculous and I'm not doing that. She insisted, because Lacey just plain will not eat any other way. Eventually I told her fine.

I'm not gonna lie: I had no intention of hand feeding Lacey, and just told my mom I would to get her off my back. And Lacey did refuse to eat for the first couple of days, but eventually she would nibble on her food. I came to realize attention was a much more important currency to Lacey than food. If I was even in the same room as her she wouldn't eat, because there was still a chance I might hand feed and dote on her. If I set the food down, then left and closed the door though? Lacey DEVOURED her food in less than a minute. Every time. Even if it was reheated. It made me think maybe she wasn't as picky about her choice of food as my mom says, so I bought some wet dog food and guess what? She gobbled that too. Still wouldn't touch dry kibble though, but hey. Baby steps.

Same thing for letting her outside. If I went out with her she would refuse to even leave the porch, but if I put her out in the (fenced in!) yard and went back in (while still watching her on security cameras and never leaving her alone for longer than a few minutes)? She would go potty and then happily run and roll around in the grass, even if it were chilly out. Even if she wasn't wearing her little coat and booties my mom insisted she needed.

My mom got back and I was kinda smug when telling her these things, I'll admit. But I honestly expected her to be relieved her dog wasn't as high maintenance as she had previously thought. Instead she got mad at me and said I shouldn't have gone back on my word. And that she would never trust Lacey with me again since I admitted to neglecting her. That Lacey had clearly lost weight with me and that was proof I was starving her (it's true she lost weight, but she was a roly poly to begin with and still kinda is, just less so).

Should I have just caved to my mom's ridiculous demands regarding her dog, or maybe I'm wrong to call them ridiculous at all? AITA?

What are these acronyms?

[ID: A large bowl filled with several chicken breasts covered in an herb marinade, dark green olives, and pale yellow lemon wedges. End ID.]

Vegan tajine djaj b zitoun / طاجين الدجاج بالزيتون (Moroccan chicken stew with olives and preserved lemon)

This tajine features chicken flavored with chermoula--a Moroccan marinade primarily consisting of cilantro and parsley (in ratios anywhere from 1:1 to 4:1) but also inclusive of garlic, spices, chili pepper, garlic, and lemon, depending on region and personal preference. The chicken is then slow-cooked in olive oil and water to produce a thick, saucy stew; bitter olives and Moroccan preserved lemons add tanginess, salt, and color.

Recipe under the cut!

Patreon | Tip jar

INGREDIENTS:

For the marinade:

~ 300g unseasoned, unbreaded vegan chicken breast (I used Gardein)

2-inch chunk cassia cinnamon, or 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp black peppercorns, or ground black pepper

1/2 tsp sweet paprika

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground turmeric

1/2 tsp cumin seeds, or ground cumin

1 small bouquet parsley

1 small bouquet cilantro

pulp of 1 preserved lemon*

1 clove garlic

1 Tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup water

pinch of saffron

*Moroccan preserved lemons are simply a Moroccan variety of lemon preserved in saltwater. They may be found in halaal grocery stores; Mina is a brand that I've seen in western grocery stores in the U.S.. I've also used Thai preserved lemons from an Asian grocery store in a pinch.

For the dish:

1 Tbsp vegetarian chicken stock concentrate (or substitute soy sauce)

1/2 cup water (vegetable stock, if not using chicken stock)

Large handful of bitter green olives

1 preserved lemon, quartered

1 large yellow onion, chopped

1 Tbsp olive oil

salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. If frozen, allow chicken to thaw in the refrigerator for several hours, or in a large bowl full of warm water, while you prepare the marinade.

2. Grind saffron to a fine powder in a mortar and pestle, or crumble it between your fingers. Soak it in 1/2 cup of just-boiled water for at least 10 minutes.

3. If using whole spices: heat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast cinnamon and black peppercorns for a few minutes until fragrant and a shade darker. Set aside. Toast cumin seeds for about a minute until fragrant and set aside. Remove the skillet from heat and toast ground spices, agitating constantly, for about 30 seconds.

4. Grind parsley and cilantro leaves to a paste in a mortar and pestle, or mince them and then crush them with the flat of a knife. Mash garlic and lemon pulp in a mortar and pestle, or grate the garlic and chop the lemon pulp.

5. Mix all marinade ingredients in a large bowl and rub marinade onto both sides of each chicken breast.

6. In a large pot, heat oil on medium high. Add onions and cook for 5-8 minutes until translucent; remove from the pan or push to the side.

7. Lower heat to medium and brown chicken on both sides (about 5 minutes each side). Mix in with onions.

8. Lower heat to low and add olives, lemon, and vegetable or chicken stock. Cook, partially covered, for about half an hour to allow flavors to incorporate and stock to thicken.

(Traditionally, tajine b djaj is cooked by heating oil in a tajine, then adding onions, chicken, and water and covering to allow the chicken to steam for several hours. The lemons and olives are then added later in the cooking time. I haven't found much of a point to doing this with vegetarian chicken substitutes; the texture does not improve with simmering, and the 'chicken' doesn't let out much flavor into the cooking water (which is why I've called for stock, rather than water, in this recipe)).

Serve warm with khobz. The flesh of the preserved lemons is eaten; the rinds are left.

[so-much-for-subtlety]

I’ve posted this before, but going to post it again because I think it’s such a great healthy summer meal 💅

base dressing / marinade:

⅓ cup unseasoned rice vinegar 

¼ cup soy sauce 

3½ tablespoons honey

¼ cup Asian/toasted sesame oil

⅓ cup peanut or vegetable oil

3 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped

1½ inch square piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped 

feel free to substitute or make variations: I added in fresh lime juice and also some peanut butter, fresh cilantro (if you like it) could be added after blending too.

marinate your protein (I use chicken breast) and cook however you prefer.

cook soba/buckwheat noodles (4 mins in boiling water then rinse under cold water to cool).

mix in protein, soba noodles, salad greens and any crisp/crunchy veges (I used cucumber, snap peas, mung bean sprouts, peppers but anything with crunch is good candidate), add your dressing add optional nuts (maybe peanuts, almonds, or cashews) and herbs (maybe cilantro or spring onions) and it’s SOO good.

my plating doesn’t look very cute tonight but you get the general idea:

Here’s one I made last summer with some baby radish in a nicer plate:

Cook extra protein and the same ingredients (excluding the soba noodles) are good in a wrap for lunch as well.

Part III of the BTVS au because why not. Jumping around in time; this is before the first and second parts. Rest of the ficlets can be found here.

Some Mary + Beatrice + Camila friendship time.

-

Mary slides onto the bench across from her at lunch and stares, unrelenting and silent. She steals one fry and then another from Beatrice’s lunch tray, dipping them into honey mustard she had brought herself (clearly prepared to be a thief) without even looking down. As the silence continues, she keeps this up, alternating her sauce with Beatrice’s ketchup, entirely unapologetic.

Beatrice ignores her, focuses on her plain chicken sandwich, which is as bland as always but better than any of the other culinary adventures available to her in the lunch line that day. She had learned quickly that flavorless is always the safest option.

They could do this all period. They sometimes eat lunch silently together anyway, both of them grateful for the brief respite from social expectation. Today, though, the silence is more predatory than companionable, and Beatrice refuses to be the prey.

It’s Camila who breaks their standoff, sliding in next to Mary and saying, around one of Beatrice’s fries (a pair of thieves), “So?”

There’s a moment where she considers playing dumb, but maybe the direct approach will end the conversation sooner.

“Her name is Ava Silva. Superion confirmed that she is also a violinist.”

“I thought there was only supposed to be one.”

Mary’s done with silence, it seems, leaning forward so that her forearms brace on the picnic table. She grimaces as a stray drop of ketchup smudges her skin, wiping it away and then checking the sleeves of her hoodie, rolled up to her elbows, for damage.

“Maybe you wouldn’t spill ketchup if you didn’t have to travel so far with your fries.”

Mary, defiant, steals another fry and the small cup of ketchup, moving it to her own tray.

“You’re right. I’ll bring my own next time. Now, answer my question.”

“It wasn’t a question.”

Camila sighs, giving both of them chastising looks.

“Isn’t there only supposed to be one violinist?”

“Yes.”

“And it’s you.”

“Yes.”

Two sets of expectant eyes. She takes a bite of her sandwich to buy herself some time. It remains almost impressively unseasoned.

It also gives Camila an opportunity to reach a conclusion Beatrice was attempting to avoid.

“Unless you die.”

All violinist pretext is now gone, Camila’s tone dull in a way it never is. She looks simultaneously like she might cry and also kill Beatrice (again). Mary’s arms flex on the table as she leans even further forward, eyes searching and mouth pulled tight.

“Something you need to tell us, Beatrice?”

Beatrice wipes the corner of her mouth, takes a sip of her water, and says, as though she’s updating them on her weekend, “There was an incident a few months ago, just after I started. I’m fine now.”

“An incident?”

“You died?”

They know better than to yell—Beatrice sees both of their eyes do an instinctive population check of the courtyard—but having them hiss at her is almost worse. She flinches, rubs without thinking at the scar on her neck, and Mary catches it, instincts excellent as always.

“You said it caught you off guard. You said it was nothing to worry over.” She’s using her worst British accent now, which means Beatrice is well and truly in trouble. “You failed to mention that it,” she waves her hand at Beatrice’s neck, half-standing in her distress, “killed you.”

“It didn’t.”

It’s out of her mouth before she can stop it, Mary’s growing concern and Camila’s silent tears enough of a distraction that her normally excellent filter malfunctions.

“Oh?” Camila is wiping her eyes with a used cafeteria napkin, rough brown paper pressed to delicate skin, Mary’s dab of ketchup now smearing on her ring finger. Beatrice hands her a clean napkin and she takes it, wobbles a smile and then catches herself, frowns again, and deeply, at Beatrice. “So you didn’t die?”

“No, I…” Beatrice bites at her thumbnail, immediately hears her mother’s chastising voice. “I did, but it wasn’t…” She rubs at her neck again, sighs. She feels like a coward as she stares down at the pitiful half-leaf of lettuce that has escaped her sandwich bun, tells it quietly, “I drowned.”

Silence. Silence, and it’s somehow worse than a dressing down from Mary or a disappointed speech about “friends supporting friends” from Camila. When she raises her eyes again, Camila is crying, harder now, and Mary looks as though she might give Beatrice back her fries, clammy and fully seated again, slumped forward and blinking.

She isn’t sure what to do. She loves them. They’re the first real friends she has ever had, and she’s not very good at any of this. She wants them to feel better, but she doesn’t want to lie, and there is not much to be done about the reality of it: she died. She drowned, and while she made a conscious decision, with Superion’s agreement, to keep that from them, Ava Silva had wrecked her plans.

It’s at least the third time Ava has done this in the two and a half days Beatrice has known her, and she’s more than certain it won’t be the last.

“I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you. Superion revived me, and I learned my lesson.”

This does not appear to have the effect Beatrice had hoped, as Mary scoffs and Camila sniffles harder.

“It won’t…”

She wants to tell them that it won’t happen again. She is fairly sure she’d be lying. She has, after a few months of reading slayer and watcher journals, an understanding of the average lifespan of a slayer, even a very careful one.

“I’m sorry.”

Suddenly, mortifyingly, Beatrice is crying. They’re quiet tears, but tears nonetheless, and she fumbles for another napkin, turning her head and wiping them. She takes a few deep breaths, centering herself, and when she turns back, Camila and Mary are looking at each other, having some kind of conversation that she can’t yet understand, may never understand.

Two heads swivel nearly in unison toward her. Camila’s eyes are red but she’s no longer crying, the wadded up napkin now being torn apart in her hands.

Mary says, solemn, “You have to tell us things, Beatrice. That’s part of the being friends deal. Even hard things.”

Beatrice exhales, shakily, and feels embarrassed, knows the hot flush of her cheeks must be giving her away. It softens Mary, though, and she leans forward with Camila, each landing on a forearm, warm through the fabric of Beatrice’s sweater.

“We love you.” This from Camila, smiling, and Mary picks up, easily, “Even when you’re being an idiot.” Beatrice snorts but says, forcing herself to look at them, “Thank you. I’m not very good at this, at being…at friendship, but I’m…I’m trying.”

“You’re good at it!” Camila protests, and Mary nods, affirms, as she steals another fry, “This shit’s hard. You’ll probably have to yell at me for being all weird and withholding at some point, too.”

She takes her ketchup back, what’s left of it, and Mary grins.

“So. Tell us about Ava Silva.”

Recipe: Italian Wedding Soup (with Pastina)

I actually got round to making this [X] which I reblogged ages ago! This was so delicious that everyone had seconds.

Make the meatballs: put 250g turkey mince in a mixing bowl. Add half a cup of unseasoned breadcrumbs (60g = 1 slice of bread). Add 1 egg, S+P, 1 tsp garlic powder and 1 tsp dried herbs e.g. parsley. Mix it all up with your hands.

Roll the meat into little meatballs the size of cherry tomatoes. Place them on a foiled baking tray. Bake in the oven at Gas 5 for about 25 mins. Take them out and carefully nudge them with a spoon to give them a little roll around the tray before their final 5 mins.

Make the soup while the meatballs are cooking. Prepare 3 carrots sliced, 2 celery stalks diced, 1 medium onion diced, 3-4 garlic cloves minced, handful fresh spinach chopped slightly (optional)

Put 1 or 2 tbsp olive oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Add all the veg except the garlic and spinach. Cook 6-7 mins. Add garlic, cook 2 mins.

Add S+P, 1 tbsp Italian herbs, 2 bay leaves (and I added a sprig of fresh thyme from the garden) and 1.8L chicken stock. Add 1 cup/100g pastina (little pasta shapes e.g. stars, margheritine or broken up spaghetti). Bring the broth to a boil, then simmer 5 mins.

Add the meatballs and continue to simmer 5 mins. Add the spinach for 2 mins.

Serve and top with a handful of finely grated parmesan. (I bought bread too, but it has all that pasta so we didn't need it.)

Picture’s not very pretty but I was in a hurry to eat. The meatballs look raw with this filter, but I promise they weren’t! Turkey mince comes in packs of 500g so I actually used that much and 1 cup of breadcrumbs (all other amounts the same), I put half the meatballs in the soup and the other half I'll use in packed lunches during the week. You could just buy a tray of meatballs for convenience (cut 12 in half to make 24 little ones) but it’s much better value for money to make them.

Very easy meal prep (for people who don't like meal prep).

Recipe 1 (top left image) : shishito steak stir fry

Ingredients:

- 1 yellow onion

- vegetable oil of choice

- 15-20 shishito peppers

- 5 mushrooms

- 2 cups sliced rare steak

- "everything but elote" powder

- crushed red pepper flakes

- chile powder

- MSG

- Rice

Cut the onion in half and slice into thin strips. Halve the shishito peppers and remove the seeds. Slice the mushrooms. Sautée the onions and mushrooms in oil until the onions start to carmelize and add the shishito peppers. Season the mixture to taste with elote powder, a pinch of MSG, chile powder, and crushed red pepper. Add the sliced steak and sautée until the steak is medium well. Serve over cooked rice. Make 3 servings.

For the next recipes you can a rotisserie chicken. Shred the rotisserie chicken and store it in the fridge.

Recipe 2 (top right image): chicken and mushrooms in Tikka sauce

- 2 cups rotisserie chicken

- 1/2 cup premade Tikka simmer sauce

- 5 mushrooms

- 2 tomatoes

- Vegetable oil of choice

- 1 cup rice

Dice the tomatoes. Sautée the mushrooms and chicken until the mushrooms are soft and the chicken is hot. Pour the sauce over the mushrooms and chicken and add the diced tomatoes. Simmer for 7-10 minutes. Makes 3 servings.

Recipe 3: chicken broccoli lentil bowls

- 1 cup lentils

- 1.5 heads broccoli

- Oil of your choice

- 2 cups rotisserie chicken

- salt

Cook the lentils on the stove or in a rice maker (2.5 cups salted water per one cup lentils for 40 mins for a rice maker). Chop the heads of broccoli into florets , toss in oil and seasonings to taste. Bake the broccoli at 425 for 20-30 minutes (check while it cooks for your preferred doneness) . Once the lentils are done, divide into bowls and top with chicken and broccoli. The bowls are unseasoned so you can season and top with whatever you like. I like curry powder and olive oil or elote seasoning and avocado.

[solitarelee]

Hey op I don't do this to personally hurt you but I need you to hear what happened to me. I've been making this recipe regularly for a year now, to great critical aplomb from my family. It is well beloved, enough that my mother wanted to try making it without me. She however, elected to make the following changes:

she did not brown the chicken

instead, she elected to place it, completely unseasoned (not even salt) and alone in a slow cooker, let it cook for six hours, and then shred it because my brother refuses to eat any meat with bones in it, but she can't handle raw chicken so she didn't want to debone it like I did the last time she was here

because of this change in the timing, she cooked the onions, by themselves (unseasoned) for like 20 minutes before adding the paprika and flour, then the rest. I think she let the flavors sit together for about 2 minutes instead of 25-30.

I am uncertain if she used any salt or pepper.

I have no idea how something with a quarter cup of paprika still wound up so completely devoid of flavor. I wanted to weep over the bowl. I had to add some salt. It only helped a little. I feel the compulsive need to apologize to you, your family, and your people.

paprika hendl

This is the recipe I’ve been using for years for Paprikash. (a.k.a. Paprikás Csirke / paprika hendl) In respose to the current hype, I figured I’d share it with you all. Makes 6 servings.

Ingredients

Oil, butter or lard – 2 tablespoons

Chicken thighs, deboned & skin-on – 2 ½ to 3 pounds

Onions, thinly sliced – 2 (or 3 if small)

Hungarian sweet paprika – ¼ cup

Korean chili flakes – 2 teaspoons

Pastry flour – 2 tablespoons

Poultry stock, unsalted – 1 ½ cups

Red bell peppers, diced – 2

Salt and pepper – to taste

Sour cream – 1 cup

Lemon juice (optional) – 1 tablespoon

Directions

Heat the oil over medium-high flame in a large cast iron skillet. Add the chicken skin-side down and brown until skin is crispy, about 7 minutes. Remove to a board, and cut into bite-size pieces.

Remove any excess oil leaving about 2 tablespoons and add the onions. Sauté the onions until wilted and beginning to brown. Stir in the paprika and flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.

Whisk in the stock in portions, breaking up any lumps. Add the browned chicken pieces, bell peppers. and the salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Stir in the sour cream and lemon juice if using. Adjust seasoning, thin with stock if desired, and reheat over low flame. Serve hot with spaetzle, gnocchi, or egg noodles.

Variations

Mushrooms can be added with the stock.

Kosher version: Instead of sour cream, use 50% more flour, 33% more lemon juice, and some extra stock. For passover use potato starch instead of flour.

0. Prepare your carrot, if not pre-shredded. Slice your green onion

0. Grate/mince your garlic cloves and your ginger piece.

1. Start cooking your rice noodles according to package directions, for pasta style. Drain into a large bowl when done.

For my noodles, this was the process: add noodles to salted water and stir to separate. Boil until tender yet still firm (al dente), 4 to 6 minutes. Immediately drain cooked noodles. Quickly rinse in cold water and drain again.

He simply gave a thumbs up to the rocketeer, finishing up the ribs and licking some of the aftermath off his fingers before grabbing the cup 'o coffee and taking a swig to wash the savory taste down

bitter black coffee with your ribs.. yum..! I think your tastebuds are fucked, Medkit. Then again you are the guy that eats unseasoned chicken willingly.

" Still, a bit unfortunate that Sword isn't here. "

" Hey, Rocket. Have a moment? "

Medkit / " Rotkit " [ @crossroadsnumber1doctor ]

"I always have a moment for you, Medkit! What's up?" -> The rocketeer smiles, waving his friend over.

Ask game

2. Has your writing changed over time?

9. Have you ever made yourself laugh with something you’ve written?

23. Have you ever stopped yourself from writing something? Why?

27. Are there certain types of writing you won’t do? (style, pov, genre, tropes, etc)

Thank you for the ask!

Has your writing changed over time?

I sure as hell hope so. If my writing hasn't changed, that probably means that I haven't been learning new things or reading enough (which I haven't been). And I don't necessarily mean big changes; as things stand right now, I think most changes in my writing have been small. Usually when I read new material, my writing changes a little bit or my vocabulary expands. But my energy has been rather low and it's been some time since I read a lot. I did just finish Dracula a few months back (the book, though I did subscribe to Dracula Daily), but I've been meaning to finish another and I just haven't. I'm thinking that cutting down on screen time will probably help to keep me focused.

Have you ever made yourself laugh with something you’ve written?

Yeah, though most of the time the things I laugh about are pretty stupid, lol. For instance, in my last chapter, "Break A Few", I had Odette talk about King Charles where she said, "His goose has been cooked for a while now. Hell, he was beginning to look a bit crusty ‘round the edges when his mum died." And the queen died like...a week ago or something when I wrote that LOL. The story takes place in 2030 and I'm predicting that Charles will probably still be alive by that time. But who knows honestly. I heard that a head of lettuce ended up lasting longer than UK's last prime minister. Anything is possible.

Have you ever stopped yourself from writing something? Why?

Hmm... It's less that I stop myself from writing something and more I just lack the motivation or simply forget, lol. Although sometimes I feel compelled to write things out of spite. Despite what people may think, spite is a great motivator if I'm being honest. Just look at Mary Shelley.

Are there certain types of writing you won’t do? (style, pov, genre, tropes, etc)

When it comes to Hellsing in particular, I feel like there are a lot of OCs and read inserts that aren't dynamic or just don't fit the story? I mean, it's Hellsing. I feel like a regular-degular exchange student or tourist caught in Hellsing affairs is...Hallmark-y? And I hate Hallmark. I'm sorry, but I do. Like, where's the blood? Where's the trauma, the yearning for a companion but not willing to admit loneliness? Where's the eldritch possession? It's like if I went to a friend's house and they served me unseasoned chicken breast. Guy Fieri's Flavortown is no where to been seen.

Anyways, I don't think I can to reader inserts. I know of writers who can and absolutely knock it out of the park. It's a skill I do not have the patience to possess.

Oh, and this is probably evident, but I can't stand to read smut or romance that has to do with Alucard from a submissive female character's POV anymore. Can't do it. If the character is a switch or is usually dominate and decides to be submissive a times, that's one thing. But there's so many fanfics out there with Alucard x submissive generic female characters/readers and it's just not my cup of tea. Honestly, I don't even think Alucard is someone who's just gonna bed anybody at this point in the show, let alone asking his "princess" to call him "daddy".

No shade, though.
