1 and 7 for Eden from here? :0

1. What's your OC's gender identity? What's their relationship to their gender?

Eden eschews gender as a pathetic human concept. Being so much better than humans Eden is thus better than gender - or at least, this is what they tell themself. It's a belief that most certainly comes directly from their parent Gabriel. If we were to dare to put a label on them, they would be nonbinary.

Once they are free of their imprisonment in the Orrery, and free to explore their gender, Eden finds they actually like certain acts of gender expression. After considering various options, they return to feeling they are something not a boy or a girl. But they find it's fun at times to play pretend, or lean towards a certain gender. Sometimes this leads to unexpected joy!

Eventually Eden eases up on their harsh feelings towards gender. They continue to think the rules surrounding it are pathetic though.

7. Is there something that could cause your OC to question their identity? What?

Eden is pretty firm on being nonbinary, but I think there are a few things that have made them question their identity.

Firstly is their relationship with their father Lenny. Between the two of them they decide to label themselves as "father" and "son" and it makes them both happy even if they might not like these sorts of labels coming from anyone else.

Second is when Eden began exploring their sexuality. They had considered themself asexual for a long time before considering they might be demisexual instead. This was a rather shocking realization, Eden felt a lot of shame and confusion about what they would be if they indulged in their desires. It felt linked to gender to them.

A Guide to Different Types of Furikake including Hawaiian and Nori

Furikake is a Japanese condiment that has become well-known throughout the world for its capacity to add flavor to plain rice. There are multiple variants of this adaptable seasoning, each with its own distinct flavor profile. Hawaiian furikake, nori furikake, and nori komi furikake seasoning are some of the most well-liked. These many kinds will be examined in this blog to help you comprehend their traits and culinary applications.

Hawaiian Furikake

With its tropical take on the classic Japanese seasoning, Hawaiian furikake is unique. It frequently combines traditional components like seaweed and sesame seeds, but what makes it unique are garnishes like crushed pineapple, macadamia nuts, or even pieces of Spam, which represent the local cuisine and culinary influences of Hawaii. Although less common, this kind of furikake tastes great on poke bowls or sushi rolls because it adds a savory and sweet crunch that perfectly pairs with fresh fish.

Nori Furikake

Perhaps the furikake that most people believe to be traditional is nori furikake. This variety, which mostly consists of nori seaweed, is combined with sesame seeds, salt, and occasionally a small amount of sugar. It has a more straightforward flavor than its Hawaiian counterpart, which makes it incredibly adaptable. You can use nori furikake as a condiment for grilled meats and shellfish or sprinkle it over rice or vegetables. It is a mainstay in many Japanese homes because of its umami-rich flavor, which complements the cuisine without dominating it.

Nori Komi Furikake Seasoning

In addition to nori, other ingredients used in nori komi furikake seasoning include bonito flakes, aonori (an additional kind of seaweed), and occasionally shiso leaves. Because of the bonito, this combination offers a nuanced flavor profile that is umami-rich and has a hint of fishiness. For people who want deeper, oceanic flavors in their food, it's great. Nori komi furikake is ideal for adding texture and depth to creamy soups or for flavoring noodles.

Uses in Cooking

Furikake can be added to more than just rice. Its culinary applications are as diverse as the varieties. Here are some inventive ways to add these seasonings to regular meals:

On snacks: To instantly enhance the flavor of popcorn or potato chips, sprinkle them with furikake.

In breakfast foods: For a delicious umami taste, add a dash to avocado toast or scrambled eggs.

For dinner dishes:  Add to breadcrumb coatings for fish or poultry to provide a flavorful, savory crust.

Health Benefits

Furikake has nutritional advantages in addition to its culinary use. Because it contains seaweed, it is often low in calories but abundant in iodine and other minerals. Many types of furikake also contain sesame seeds, which are a source of calcium, magnesium, and zinc. Furikake is best consumed in moderation, especially for people watching their salt consumption, as it can be rich in sodium.

Shopping for Furikake

Look for furikake kinds that fit your dietary requirements and preferred flavors when you're buying. While some varieties of furikake use natural ingredients, others contain added sweeteners or MSG. Asian supermarkets, health food stores, and internet sellers are great places to find a variety of furikake.

In conclusion, each variety of furikake offers something unique, whether you choose the tropical flavors of Hawaiian furikake, the simplicity of nori furikake, or the complexity of nori komi furikake seasoning. By experimenting with these various types, you can add a new level of flavor to your food and demonstrate that excellent flavor frequently comes in little, sprinklable packages.

7/29/24, witching hour

Little late to be doing a journal/blog entry but here we are.

Squats always wreak the most havoc on my body where DOMS is concerned. I skipped the gym tonight in favor of a staff game night at my day job. Unless I plan ahead for it pretty far in advance, I rarely get to attend them, so it's nice that I had the opportunity this time around. We played I'm the Boss!, MLEM: Space Agency, and Scout. First was fun but I'm not good at it, second was... Aesthetically very cute, but not my favorite, and Scout is fantastic; kinda like Uno with less direct aggression and more interesting mechanics.

Came home to a very annoyed cat. He's not used to being alone for long stretches of time, so he's usually mad at me by the time I get home, and it makes his feeding schedule a little weird.

I miss my roommate. Where he is, he's like 3 hours ahead of me so by the time I'm awake, it's usually already noon for him, and then by the time I get home from work, it's either already evening or he's about to head to bed, so we haven't been able to talk much. It sucks coming home to a (mostly) empty apartment when I'm so used to someone else being around.

Workout-wise I think I'm getting a better idea of what all I wanna do.

I wanna do some sorta exercise every day in the morning, pretty much right after I wake up. I think on a daily basis I wanna incorporate a 1 min plank and 10k steps (making up whatever I miss just walking around that day on the treadmill at my gym), probably a rice bucket to help mitigate/prevent tennis elbow and wrist issues, and then I wanna maybe rotate a handful of bodyweight exercises- mostly probably push-up variations for shoulders and chest, squats and calf raises for lower body, crunch variations for core, and glute bridges. I still gotta find something for my back that doesn't take equipment too, since I really only have access to dumbbells at the moment.

Once I'm actually in the gym, I think I'm mostly doing weighted squats, dumbbell presses, dumbbell rows, hammer curls, side lateral raises, and chest flys. I mentioned before I wanna focus a lot on my shoulders and chest since they're pretty wimpy, and I just like hammer curls.

Food-wise overnight oats are still kinda soupy. That might just be how they are, idk. I'm trying to dial back the liquid little by little to see how little I can get away with while still getting them pretty soft. I'm also trying more chia seeds. The pumpkin puree with some spices and maple tasted alright, but I don't have all the spices I wanted to include, and I don't have real maple syrup at the moment, so I'm not sure what I expected, lol. C'est la vie.

Still struggling a bit to actually eat what practically feels like my bodyweight in protein each day, but I imagine that'll get easier as I start putting on more muscle and my body starts demanding more calories. As much as I love to eat, I just don't have much of a stomach for, like... Gorging myself. Even just eating my half-cup of overnight oats feels like a battle. I'm more of a grazer.

Oh, and if I didn't say so already, that salmon bowl was a big success. The cottage cheese blended up nice and smooth with just a little olive oil, some sriracha, salt, pepper, dill, and maybe a tsp of lemon juice, and then I just tossed that with a can of salmon, plated it up beside a mound of brown rice and sprinkled some furikake over the whole mess. There's more "sauce" than there is salmon almost, but it's all basically just cottage cheese so I feel no guilt in just mixing it up with the brown rice as a vehicle and going to town- basically free protein.

Think that's it for now. A little peckish atm but don't really feel like cooking, and don't really wanna snack right before bed, so I'll just assume a happy accident calorie deficit and call it a win. Nighto.

Media Tasting at Hunger’s Kitchen by Arome

It may take a little challenge to locate Hunger’s Kitchen if this is your first. My friend and I have walked two rounds at Shaw Tower Beach Road before we managed to find Hunger’s Kitchen. You have to walk through a row of hair salons if you’re coming from Suntec City direction. It is more accessible if you’re coming from Bugis direction, Hunger’s Kitchen is located outside of Shaw Tower Beach Road (near Starbucks). At Hunger’s Kitchen, be greeted with a wide range of menu options from cold/ hot appetizer, Asian delights, brown rice bowl, olive oil/ tomato/ cream base pasta, main course, dessert, lunch/ dinner set menu and beverages.

Salmon that melts in the mouth is truly the best. It is topped with kombu, crunchy cucumber, onion, ikura. Pssst, it’s slightly raw if you don’t take raw food. Definitely one of my favourite appetizers from Hunger’s Kitchen. It’s so good and I can’t help but ask the chef the secret behind this salmon. The chef has noted the salmon is slow-cooked for at least 20 minutes.

Confit salmon at S$11.90/S$20.90.

Salted egg chicken wing had a more pleasant, less-oily-tasting surface in thick and creamy salted egg sauce with a hint of spicy kick from the curry leaf and chilli padi.

Salted egg chicken wing at S$5/S$14/S$26 (2/6/12 pcs).

  This simple but satisfying, Hungry’s cold pasta is colourful and appetising to the eyes. Pasta was smooth and al dente topped with baby scallop, ikura, tobiko, ebiko, kombu, furikake, cress in seaweed cream. Lots of crunch in this dish with generous servings of ikura, tobiko and ebiko.

Hungry’s cold pasta at S$10.90/S$18.90.

Healthy oven roasted 1/2 chicken with a beautiful golden-crisp exterior, served with a side of salad and fries. I’ve tried the chicken breast portion and was surprisingly tender with light flavour. This is something that I would crave for after a yoga practice.

Oven roasted 1/2 chicken at S$14.90.

Spoilt with choices for pork ribs as you can choose among BBQ, Sze Chuan or Japanese BBQ glaze. Not a fan of their pork ribs as it’s a little tough on texture but the glaze is flavourful and comes with wedges and salad.

Pork ribs at S$17.90/S$28.90.

The texture of the slightly crisp skin and the tender duck was done well. Received a pleasant surprise as it’s not the usual mash but TRUFFLE mash. The mash was amazing smooth that was never lumpy or dry. Special mention to the mushroom with the flavours gushes out a little as we bite. There are also other accompaniments including mini orange slices and Thai asparagus.

Duck confit at S$14.90.

  Spoilt for choices with 18 different types of pasta ingredients. Selection of classic pasta dishes like garlic bacon prawn or adventurous Gochujang pork belly pasta with a spicy kick is sure to please spicy food lovers. I feel that both portions of pasta were slightly overcooked but the flavours were good!

Garlic bacon prawn pasta at S$12.90.

Gochujang pork belly pasta at S$11.90.

You can also expect Asian delights at Hunger’s Kitchen! Upgraded nasi lemak to another level with a salted egg chicken cutlet. The generous serving of the savoury, spicy chicken cutlet is topped on fluffy rice and topped with a fried omelette, papadum and sambal chilli.

Salted egg chicken cutlet nasi lemak at S$8.50.

Brown rice CPS is another dish that I would crave for after a good exercise. It comes with not just 1 but 3 proteins namely chicken, pork and salmon!!! I’ve enjoyed the chicken best! It was tender and tasted like sous vide chicken. Served with a serving of healthy brown rice and topped with marinated cherry tomato, broccoli, 63 degrees egg and chicken jus.

Brown rice CPS (Chicken, Pork, Salmon) at S$13.
