a/n: zayne my boo <3 im sobbing over the fact that the game killed off mc’s grandma and caleb 😭

.

ミ★ Love & Deep Space ミ★

pairing: zayne x fem!reader

warning(s): mentions of death, mentions of the explosion that killed mc’s grandma + childhood best friend (caleb) in game, spoilers(?)

Summary: Ever since that day, you’ve fallen in a deep, dark pit. Why did you have to be the one that they decide to destroy? Why did Caleb and Grandma have to die? Is it your fault they did? Zayne, as your primary care physician and a family friend, is concerned for your well-being.

“Sometimes, a small gesture is all it takes.”

The sound of the news on your TV, the thundering rain outside, the sound of the cars driving by your apartment—it all blurs out as you stared at the TV screen, eyes dead and unfocused on the news of the Wanderers attacking and the explosions. Some 22 casualties, two deaths. Grandma and Caleb. His necklace that you bought him as a goodbye gift when he left for the Aerospace Academy sits beside a picture of you, him, and Grandma on the coffee table, the cheerful smiles making you wished that you could revisit time.

Your apartment, once somewhat organized and clean, is now messy with things being knocked down and dirty dishes long discarded. You stare at the one last thing your Grandma left for you, some..tablet(?) with a final letter on it. You haven’t gotten the energy or the ability to open it. It pains you, seeing that you haven’t visited for so long yet when you do, this was the time her house had to explode right in front of you, flames engulfing the house and the only thing that remained was Caleb’s necklace.

“I miss you, Grandma..” You mumbled to nobody, rubbing the tears threatening to spill out your eyes as you glanced down at the item she left you with. Besides that, a small box of her old recipes of those notecards, and other small things that she had entrusted to you years before.

Around you was your laptop, papers and files on the latest Wanderer attacks around you. Yes, Captain Jenna dismissed you and said that you should take some days off to regain your energy, since you haven’t been getting the sleep or the energy you needed, but you just couldn’t.

Your door opened, yet you didn’t bother to look at who entered. “Still sitting in front of the TV?” A familiar voice spoke out, flipping the light switch on and shutting the door behind him. It was Zayne, a long time family friend and your primary care physician. “You haven’t eaten,” he bluntly says as he sets a bag of food on your table and walked into the kitchen. He bites back a sigh, knowing that you were going through a tough time, and people tended to discard everything and grieve and grieve their hearts out.

“Hello to you too, Zayne,” you replied as you shut off the news and got up off your sofa. You pile up all the papers and files you’ve scattered around and set them on the coffee table before you walk into the kitchen as Zayne is cleaning up your dirty dishes. He checks in on you whenever he’s free or when he’s off his shift. He looks back at you, only making a small hum of acknowledgment before cleaning up your dirty kitchen. You looked terrible—eyes red and puffy from crying, obvious eye bags, and the sparkles from your eyes were gone.

You yawn as you take out a bowl and some utensils for whatever food he brought in for you. You unpacked the bag as he cleaned up the dishes you couldn’t bother doing last week. Potatoes, avocado on the side, tuna salad, salmon and rice you said to yourself as you took out the food that he had carefully backed in those plastic containers for you. Then you took out the last thing. Cookie..dough? He remembered your favorite childhood snack. The kind of cookie dough you liked.

“Your grandma gave me a recipe for the cookie dough. She said that if she couldn’t make it, I should since it lightens your mood,” Zayne says as he puts your clean dishes back into the cabinet. He dries his hand off before walking over to you, watching how you stare at it like a piece of gold. Disbelief and shock were etched on your face.

Zayne puts his hand on your back, soothingly rubbing circles as you opened the container and took a bite. Your eyes almost brimmed with tears again. You could remember how your grandma used to bake in the kitchen and you’d always sneak a bite or two of the cookie dough, no care in the world if you could get salmonella.

“Thank..you, Zayne,” you finally said, turning around tightly hugging him. He was a bit hesitant at first, but he put his hand on your head, massaging your scalp as he looked down at you with a gentle look on his face.

“..You’re welcome. I miss her too.”

Zayne’s eyes looked away at the picture on the counter of your grandma. She didn’t have to go out this way.

…Okay, you may end up seeing these drawings yet again on a later date

I finished the page, which was small at 500x500 px, but I wanted to make the page bigger. I did that, and I drew one new thing, but now I don’t know what else to draw on there. So for now, I figured I might as well post the original full page right now

Yeah, sorry for the laziness

This is the other sketch I finished on there, for those curious

Anyways, so yeah, this new style practice I’m trying

The original page I tried these out on is this, which also isn’t full, but I thought trying it out with actual characters instead of just random poses and shapes would be better, so I switched over to Cookie Run characters

The method is still a work in progress when it comes to all the shapes and the red sketch layer

I suppose what I should do now is try drawing a bunch of different Cookies that have different body shapes, so that I have practice with that. As well as maybe attempt some full body ones

I suppose you can suggest some if you want, considering I don’t know who to draw other than like, Hollyberry or Avocado, since I should try drawing large but not buff characters here. But I should also probably draw more skinny, and also chubby

But on to what I actually drew

So I already talked about Peach Blossom and the top Dark Choco drawing prior, so no real need to elaborate

The Dark Choco and Dark Cacao one was me drawing them in their younger forms to see how they compare. Not for any sort of study thing, but just in a symbolic sort of way. Since they’re so similar looking

I think I had a lot more fun with Choco, especially his hair. I remember Cacao being mostly annoying for his weird cloak thing that I don’t understand

The hand pose was ass though. I knew the general idea of what I wanted, that being them with their hands over their swords, but I was struggling to figure out how to draw the hands. Not to mention I had to change the pose from the red sketch because the swords were further down than I put them. I still don’t think I did the pose exactly correct, but screw it, it’s good enough

I’m also noticing that Choco looks way lighter in skin tone compared to Cacao. Like yeah, I know he’s normally slightly lighter, but it’s far more noticeable here. I’m pretty sure it’s because I used Dark Choco’s ToA colors here (bc they work better with my black lineart), which are slightly lighter, as well as just that Dark Choco is wearing much lighter colors while Dark Cacao’s are relatively darker. So maybe it just makes them contrast more

I liked drawing them, but I also did basically do the same body type 3 in a row, so I should probably draw different characters

Anyways, let’s talk about that extra sketch

So for those who likely don’t remember, that there is an OC of mine called Prickly Pear Cookie

I made her entirely on a whim one day, and she doesn’t really have any character or story, just vibes, but I really like her design and wanted to draw it again

I probably should give her some sort of bra though. The shirtless chest looks cool but in my opinion sounds really uncomfortable without at least that

I did originally draw her with the green skin, but it looked weird so I shifted it to more of a yellow so it looks more human

Honestly I really like how she turned out

But yeah, I think that’s about it for now. Just wanted to show this

Dear Sam, would you share the recipes from all that sandwich talk? Now that you mentioned that they were croissandwiches I need to know please!

Oh, I wish, but it was a box lunch setup -- we just ordered the sandwiches from a local place and they showed up with a bunch of boxes. The boxes were marked by what kind of bread and filling was in the sandwich, and we just handed them out, so it was the same filling (ham or chicken salad or whatnot) just with bread options. They were fairly standard -- meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and condiments available on the side; the veggie wraps had sprouts and avocado instead of meat. This year was a little different, we had big boxes of footlongs cut into thirds and handed out the sandwiches at one station while chips and cookies were at another. But we weren't making the sandwiches.

I will say because I'm not much of a veggie person the sandwiches I make for myself are usually pretty basic, although I try to stuff a lot of flavor into them. The last one I made was on a homemade roll, it was mustard on one side, then havarti, turkey pepperoni, and sliced chicken breast (not deli chicken, it was leftover rotisserie chicken), then guac on the other side of the roll. One of my favorites is the "thanksgiving" sandwich -- turkey and brie with cranberry sauce, and I add stuffing on top. You can have it on any kind of bread but I do like it on a sliced croissant.

[aurumacadicus]

Absolutely astounding. Blew the minds of a bunch of twelve-year-olds because they asked what I usually eat for breakfast (their options that day were cereal, bagels with cream cheese/grape jelly, or "breakfast rounds" which are, in fact, baked oatmeal stop telling me this isn't a cookie it's a fucking cookie it's ROUND). I mentioned it depends on my mood, but right now I'm going through my avocado toast phase. Everyone laughed because haha look at the Millennial only a Millennial could like boring avocado toast it doesn't even taste like anything.

Me: ...It tastes like whatever seasoning you use.

Students: :0 Seasoning?

Me: ..................Yeah? I season the avocado.

Students: What :0

Me: Today I didn't want to eat at all so I just seasoned it with salt and pepper? But most days I make a quick guacamole. Are you guys just... eating it straight out of the skin? No salt even?

Students: Seasoning... :0

Hey ty for reading AND waiting for this one 😭😭😭😭 I'm so sorry but I'm so unsure about this one, it's my first time trying this format sooo idk if its fine or not??? I feel like it's all over the place...

well anyways i don't really have much to say 🫡

toodlezzzzzzz

[mad-c1oud]

MAD. I have so many things i love abt your fics. in no order:

The panick from elotes when he sees charlie die from dehydration and he decides ‘fuck emotional maturity’ !!!!! OH GOD ITS SO GOOD

I think CONSTANTLY about when charlie was like ‘you dont have to call me slime, it isnt, like, reserved’ and they talk and etoiles goes ‘oh and you can say my name right’ and slime goes WHAT. Oh god i think abt it like daily and have a giggle

In fake it till you make it when charlie is calling etoiles all the nicknames and antoine just pretends like nothing is happening ❤️❤️

on the topic of fitymi, THE KISS GLASS FACTORY SCENE. RENT FUCKING FREE. The way you wrote it and then THE COPS KNOWING LMAOOO IT DIDNT WORK. Roier chanting “mi dinero!” Bc he won the bet is CHEF KISS

when etoiles casually kisses charlie and leaves, phil’s reaction when he realizes is GOLD KKKKK. “Is that why charlie has been blowing up my phone?” And etoiles going “i kissed and now i am telling” AGH

The intro (?) scene to immi where etoiles is just like ‘its okay its okay its okay he doesnt need items, hes really doing just fine–’ so he doesn’t rip charlies armor off where hes standing is HILARIOUS

“He is here. He is ravenous” then charlie dying to eater of suns was my favorite bc ITS SO IN CHARWCTER LMAO. HE WOULD.

How etoiles breaks a million avocados as baghera pulls out all the arrows from charlie. You can //feel// the need to protect coursing through his veins and poor bro has to make dinner

How youve written TWO scenes where etoiles brain fails upon imagining charlie in eyeliner. I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE (i am too)

Not a apecific scene, but the (in immi) motif of charlie not feeling like enough so he always has to bring //something//.

GOD THE ENTIRE MOST RECENT CHAPTER OF IMMI. STAN FERAL HYBRID. STAN THEIR ONE SAFE PERSON. HAHAIXHSNAJAJJSUXIXIWWNKEODOEPQPEI

The immi scene where etoiles tells charlie about the bug :(

God how //unserious// charlie is about being hurt (and probably etoiles but they have different ways of unserious). Its so true to his character but i still wanna just SHAKE HIM so he doesn’t crack jokes //while he’s bleeding out//

The scene where etoiles rushes charlie back. It feels so rushed but not like you wanted to get it over with, just… like everything is a blur to etoiles while hes doing this. Like he remembers the steps he took but not what he felt when he took them. (Also how he gives himself five seconds to scream into a pillow. Felt that. STAN.)

Him asking for two cookies from phil bc he is ‘fading fast’ and when phil shows up he pretty much (albiet accidently) tunes oht phil bc he //cant look away from charlie–//

That stupid fucking cod elotes put in the barh idk if it has a name but I have a love/hate relation with it. I wonder if they kept it.

“Its not a waste with you” KILL ME THEYRE IN LOVE

When etoiles tells him to say if he feels hurt, then charlie starts crying and e is like “eh! Im so sorry what did i do you didnt say anything–” and charlies like eueuue youre so nice

Charlie purring… yes… YESSS…. (Love it when anything and everything hybrid purrs 💖)

“My cucumber” ….

When charlie pretends to be etoiles boyfriend to get into the hospital (fitymi) and the nurses are like uh this guy named charlie- and elotes goes “hehehehhhh yeahh charlie. He’s my bro” and the nurses take that as dating (BECAUSE WHAT ELSE IS IT????)

sorry tjis was so long i just had a chance to rant abt your writing and BY GODS NAME DID I TAKE IT

💖i hope you fee better

DUDE 😭😭😭

This is the best thing I’ve ever read. People always comment on chapters and fics in that moment they read them usually, so I’m always curious what sticks with people weeks later, what occupies their brain again and again long after reading…

Reading all this had me smiling so fucking big it Hurts oh my good you are so sweet dude

To answer your question: Charlie kept the cod Paul! It lives in the little pond he has in the greenhouse. It was supposed to be mentioned during the birthday chapters, but I reworked a lot of content and it not longer fit nicely so I just took it out for now. The feesh will be seen again…

The nicknames in fake it were my favorite part. I got like three sentences in and was like— hold on Idea—

And yeah Charlie giving things to Étoiles in immi, that comes a personal habit. Qcharlie has been broken down time and time again that this amount of unwavering kindness feels illegal to accept. He’s had to pay the price for so much, so sure this too right? Étoiles wants to shake him <3

YEHAHHH THE NAME THING IN IMMI!!! Man I needed a way to ween Étoiles into calling him Charlie that was just causal cause that’s Boring, and I wanted to acknowledge the face that irl, ccChatlie didn’t know how to pronounce his name at first either lmao

i like Charlie in eyeliner, sue me….

One of my favorite chapters might just be A Bandage. From the other islanders to the cooking to karaokeduo to the Chittering!!!!! Idk that one holds a special place in my heart <3

Also fun fact: I had like, 4 other fake dating scenarios I jotted down for fake it but I was worried the fic would turn into immi which also started as a 5+1 so I scrapped some ideas and kept a it short and sweet. kinda regret it and wish I could rewrite it but I still like what it turned in to

Man reading my own work through your comments is really nice. Gives me a better appreciation for what I’m creating haha

Thank you sm for all this, it means a lot and it’s never too long trust me <333

Notes on The Art of the Board by Olivia Carney

This book has details I didn't know I was looking for. I'd have complained more in the last review, if I knew how much better this book is.

So I'm going to admit that the cover of this book is the least to my personal aesthetic out of the stack I got from the library. That said, it's just so much more useful.

Yet again, we have a cheese and charcuterie board book organized by season. HOWEVER, this one feels so much more beginner friendly! And this one has lots of information that I can grow with as someone who thinks she's more intermediate at cheese board skills.

Look at that! A catchy plate name! A difficulty rating! An estimated cost! And this one is vegetarian. (There is at least one vegan board, btw. It looks like the author considered how the flavor of the vegan cheeses is different from the dairy cheeses.) AN INDICATOR OF HOW MANY PEOPLE IT SHOULD SERVE.

The book was published in 2022. At the time, a one $ spread should be something that you could do for under $40. With what grocery prices have done lately, I'm not sure it's still true, but it's still a good way to avoid a nasty surprise when you're shopping.

The recipes also call out what size board is used in the picture! And gives some actual measurements for how to get exactly what you see.

There is also advice on where to find boards and ramekins and such, and how to care for them.

There's a great chart for what fruits and veggies go well with each cheese. Avocado never gets mentioned, but potatoes do!

The author mentions some really interesting flavored nut ideas, and gives a recipe for pickled onions!

Oh, and speaking of recipes, there's a nice section in the back with some sides and cookies and cocktails. A nice variety of little details that will will really make certain spreads shine.

While brie doesn't get featured in every board, there is a creme brulee brie board that was like the angels coming down from heaven to sing to my hungry eyes. I am inspired.

The author attempts some multiculturalism. There's a taco board, and a sushi board. I suspect the bagel board is a better rep for jewish culture than the hanukuh board. There's also a board with thanksgiving leftovers that just tickled my sense of humor.

Downsides to this book? The overall aesthetic of this book isn't as much to my taste. That's obviously not going to be a problem for everyone (or possibly most people!). And the author is a little too into edible flowers. Yeah, they're a nice touch, especially in the spring, but I don't think they are as available and affordable for most people as the book suggests.

[wonderfull-star]

While doing my search for my last post I came across this. It's about substitutes for eggs in cooking. It's new to me.

Egg replacements in cooking

Applesauce can also act as a binding agent. Try replacing each egg with 1/4 cup of applesauce.Mar 30, 2021

Can applesauce be used as a binder?

Applesauce can serve as a great binding agent due to its high fiber. It also provides good moisture, smooth texture and acts as a thickening agent in gluten free baking. Substitute 1/3 cup of applesauce for each egg in your recipes.

Can I use applesauce instead of eggs in pancakes?

Another egg substitute for pancakes? Applesauce. Fruit purees are a well-known substitute for eggs and for oil in recipes since they add moisture and a bit of binding. Use ¼ cup applesauce to replace 1 egg in pancakes.Oct 13, 2020

16 egg substitutes

Some common egg substitutes include:

1. Mashed banana

Mashed banana can act as a binding agent when baking or making pancake batter. Replace each egg with 1/2 of a ripe banana.

2. Applesauce

Applesauce can also act as a binding agent. Try replacing each egg with 1/4 cup of applesauce.

3. Fruit puree

Fruit puree will help bind a recipe in a similar way to applesauce.

1/4 cup will replace 1 egg. It is worth noting that using fruit to replace eggs can change the flavor of a recipe or dish.

4. Avocado

1/4 cup of pureed avocado per egg can act as a binding agent in a recipe. It can also add moistness and richness.

5. Gelatin

To make gelatin for use in a recipe, mix 1 cup of boiling water with 2 tsp. of unflavored gelatin.

While it is an effective binding agent, this option is not suitable for people who follow a vegan diet.

6. Xanthan gum

Xanthan gum is a white powder that comes from the exoskeleton of bacteria.

Add 1 tsp. per recipe to bind and add texture to egg-free cakes and cookies, as well as milk-free ice cream.

7. Vegetable oil and baking powder

This substitute works when people need eggs as a leaving agent.

Mix between 1 and 1.5 tbsp. of water with 1 tsp. of baking powder per egg.

8. Margarine

Margarine works as a substitute for an egg glaze.

Instead of brushing a beaten egg onto recipes before baking, use melted margarine.

9. Flaxseeds

Use flaxseeds as an egg replacement for binding and adding texture. They work best in recipes like bran muffins and oatmeal cookies.

Whisk 1 tbsp. of ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp. of water, then leave the mixture to sit for around 20 minutes. It will change texture and look a little like egg whites.

Just like some eggs, flaxseeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids.

They also have a similar fat and protein profile to eggs. However, they can add a grainy or nutty flavor to the finished product.

10. Chia seeds

Chia seeds act in the same way as flaxseeds in a recipe. They can help bind ingredients and are best used in recipes such as breads and wholemeal cookies.

Mix 1 tablespoon of ground chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water, then leave to sit for around 20 minutes. It will become thick and egg-white like.

The mixture will have a darker color than eggs, and this can make the final product darker, too.

11. Seeds and baking powder

Chia and flaxseeds are another alternate leavening agent. Mix 1 tbsp. of the seeds with 3 tbsp. of water and leave to sit.

Once the texture has changed to a more gel-like consistency, add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder per egg mentioned in the recipe.

12. Powdered egg replacements

Lots of companies make and sell powdered egg replacements. People can use these to bind, leaven or add texture or richness to the recipe.

Examples include Egg Replacer, The Vegg and The VeganEgg.

Each product has a slightly different offering. Some even include some egg. Therefore, it is important to always read the label and the ingredients list to make sure it is suitable.

13. Chickpea flour

Make egg-free omelets and pancakes by using 2-3 tablespoons of chickpea flour mixed with an equal amount of water instead of one egg.

Nutritional yeast flakes can add depth of flavor to the recipe.

14. Firm tofu

Replace hard-boiled eggs in salads and sandwiches with extra firm tofu. This type of tofu has a similar texture and protein content to eggs.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests using 2 oz. of chopped, extra firm tofu to replace one hard-boiled egg.

15. White beans

White beans can also act as a hard-boiled egg replacement.

Like tofu, they have a similar texture and protein content. Try adding white beans to salads and sandwiches.

16. Scrambled tofu

Scrambled tofu is a great alternative to scrambled eggs.

Adding turmeric will create a yellow color similar to egg, and nutritional yeast flakes will add flavor.

Some people even add kala namak, or Himalayan black salt, due to its sulfurous, egg-like flavor.

Aim for 2 oz. of silken or firm tofu per one egg.

Summary

People use eggs in cooking in many ways. Eggs are extremely versatile and bring different benefits to different recipes.

However, not everyone can eat eggs or wants to eat them. Some people are allergic, while others follow a vegan diet, for example.

Luckily, lots of egg substitutes exist. To pick the right one, people should think about what role eggs play in their recipe, such as binding, leavening, or adding flavor and texture.

When using egg replacement products, people should always read the label first. Sometimes, they contain eggs or other allergens.

character(s) ; avocado cookie

outline ; “the aforementioned avocado cookie reqs bc i was duper super sleepy ahaha

im just gonna throw a two in one and you just uuuh go crazy idk

- sub reader smut hcs

- general dating hcs”

warning(s) ; none, just fluff!

if you want to be in a relationship with avocado cookie you need to have a good sense of humour, and to at least be mildly fond of puns as a genre of humour — if not then you’re really not gonna last long with her

your name in her phone is a pun instead of a pet name, she writes little jokes on scrap pieces of paper that she places in your pockets and bags before you go to work, she laughs through every situation, and will start and end every day with some sort of quip unless you’re both too exhausted to do so — so even just saying that humour is her love language would be underselling how big a part of your lives it becomes

of course she loves gifting you things that she’s made — whether that’s something practical like a weapon, tool, or piece of armour, or a more personal and ‘pointless’ sort of trinket — and whenever she notices a gift of hers being put on display in your home she practically puffs up with affection and pride

likewise, if you’re on the crafty side then she’s going to keep every thing you gift to her whilst bragging about how ‘awesome’ her partner is — whether it’s a brief love letter, a small painted object, some clothing, or a personalised object she’ll love it all the same

her pet names alternate between things like ‘babe’ and ‘sweets’, and more lighthearted jokey things like puns or inside jokes — for her part she’s happy to go by whatever nicknames you want to ascribe to her, whether you go for something more amusing or something more traditionally affectionate in nature

avocado cookie is extremely physically affectionate and has no qualms about being touchy with you in public or private: running up to you and picking you up in a bear hug whilst laughing that contagious laugh of hers, carrying you around with ease whenever you mention being tired or just to make you laugh, holding you in place and kissing all over your face whilst the kids exaggeratedly gag and tell you both to get a room, hugging you from behind and resting her chin on your shoulder or atop your head, cuddling you as you perch atop her lap, and so on…

and when it comes to sleeping, she’s an incredibly deep and clingy sleeper meaning that the moment she’s out there’s no chance of you moving out of her arms until she wakes up again — she also gives off a lot of heat, practically being a living radiator, so if you can’t handle that then you’ll have to sleep in separate beds (she won’t begrudge you for this btw, as long as you promise to sit and cuddle with her for a while before you two retire to bed)

she’s absolutely the type of girlfriend who would wear matching couples costumes with you for halloween (she’d probably be the one to suggest it) — bonus points if it’s something especially cheesy like ‘peanut butter and jelly’ or something else along those lines

her kisses are all very sweet and all seemed designed to make you laugh so hard that your sides ache — chaste kisses to the lips when you least except them, wet kisses to your cheeks and neck when you’re upset to make you giggle and smile, peppering kisses along your neck and face whilst she holds you in place and tickles you because she felt like it, etc.

of course despite her very touchy nature she’s mindful of your boundaries and preferences and will never consciously overstep them or make you uncomfortable — yes she’s a very confident and unserious person, but she loves you so so much and would never do anything to push you away

New Year's Concert part 7

Let's go, speedrunning!

*After B.A.D. 4's performance, HellHound and ZZ Skull ran as quickly as they could back to the dressing room.*

HellHound: Hurry up! We got to go!

ZZ Skull: Yeah yeah! I know! Get there before-

*Before ZZ Skull could finish that sentence, both of them ran into Parfait and Pastry right next to Parfait's dressing door. They froze, unsure of what to do.*

Parfait: OMG! ZZ Skull and HellHound!! It's nice to meet you!

Pastry: Greetings. Your performance was very good.

HellHound: T-thank you.

Parfait: And congrats on your winter tour! I can't wait to go to one of your shows!

ZZ Skull: T-that's great t-that you like it! We would just be missing a few Cookies for the next two months, like our girlfriends.

Pastry: You two have girlfriends?

*Both members froze, realizing what they said.*

HellHound: Y-yes. Light of our dark hearts. We would love to take them with us. But...

Pastry: Do they not know about this tour?

HellHound: They found out today and we were about to see what their reactions are.

Parfait: I'm sure they would be fine as long as you explain why!

Pastry: I agree. I believe they would be understanding about this. *looks at HellHound and ZZ Skull closely.* Are your partners inside your dressing room?

ZZ Skull: Not...really...They're...in front of us...

Parfait:...huh?

Pastry: Pardon?

HellHound: Just take a good look at us. And really think about it.

*Parfait and Pastry looked at them for a few seconds as the gears start to turn. HellHound and ZZ Skull looked at each before pushing the two female Cookies into Parfait's dressing room. Once all four were in the room and HellHound closed the door, ZZ Skull unloaded.*

ZZ Skull: Iknowthisistoomuchbutwereallywantedtotellyouguysaboutthisbutweweretoldtokeepthisawayfromyouandwedon'twantthatanymoreanditdoesn'thelpthatMadeleinefoundourabouroursecretandtoldusthatwehadtotellyouboththatit'susLicoriceandRedVelvet!

*ZZ Skull took multiple breaths as Parfait and Pastry let the words sink in. While Parfait still allowed the words to sink in, Pastry looked at the boys.*

Pastry: You two...lied to us?

HellHound: Yes. We know we shouldn't. But Pomegranate really wanted us to stay quiet. That and we didn't want you to have to deal with any B.A.D. 4 fans.

ZZ Skull: And we will make it up to you two. We promise!

*Pastry looked over at Parfait, who was still processing the words. She looked back at the boys.*

Pastry: We're not mad. But if you do this again, I will personally shoot an arrow at each of you.

HellHound: Yeah...That's fair. How about you Parfait?

*Parfait stood still for a bit before falling back. ZZ Skull was quick enough to catch her.*

HellHound: ...I guess she's handling it well...

Pastry: I'm sure she'll be fine. But I'm sure Licorice is going to have a long few days. *looks at HellHound* Now...What do we do next?

HellHound: Next? You two can come with us for our tour. I don't think we can handle two months without you two.

Pastry: How about Sky? I don't think she'll handle traveling well.

HellHound: My siblings won't mind taking care of Sky since I'll be taking Chiffon with me.

Parfait: *finally regains composure* What about Black Garlic? I can't leave her for more than two days.

ZZ Skull: And I'm sure that if she came, it would not end well.

Pastry: I'm sure Avocado would not mind watching her for two months.

HellHound: Maybe not her. Maybe Almond and Latte.

Parfait: I'll figure it out later. For now...let's enjoy the rest of the night before the new year!

ZZ Skull: Can we change into our usual clothes?

Pastry: Wouldn't someone notice Red Velvet and Licorice leaving B.A.D. 4's dressing room? Not to mention, leaving Parfait's dressing room.

HellHound:...Let's stay here instead. We'll change our clothes later.

*The rest of the night was spent in Parfait's dressing room. Parfait and ZZ Skull were talking about future plans while HellHound and Pastry cuddled the night away.*

How to Choose a Heart-Healthy Diet by Dr Richard Zelman

A diet protecting cardiovascular health includes foods low in saturated fat, salt, added sugar and plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains such as cereals.

Choose lean meats, skinless poultry, fish, beans, and nuts; replace butter with olive, canola, or vegetable oil; consume low-sugar beverages and limit sweet desserts; ensure adequate omega-3 polyunsaturated fat intake by eating fish or flaxseed, canola oil, or walnuts; avoid salty processed foods and canned goods.

Protein

Diets rich in red meat, processed meat, and egg yolk can increase LDL cholesterol, increasing your risk of blood clots and heart disease. Fish, poultry, fat-free or low-fat dairy products, legumes, nuts, and seeds are excellent protein choices that can reduce risk.

Salmon, trout, mackerel, and herring provide heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids with numerous cardiovascular health benefits. Eating these types of fish at least twice weekly is recommended. Poultry also offers protein, Vitamin A, magnesium, and zinc, although its impact on heart health remains neutral.

Plant-based proteins can also help the heart. Dr Richard Zelman points out that chickpeas, kidney beans, soy products, and quinoa are excellent plant-based protein sources for those following vegan or vegetarian diets, providing ample soluble fiber to lower LDL cholesterol.

Adding protein-rich plants such as beans or lentils into your meals is vital as a critical step toward heart health. Try including these items when creating spaghetti bolognese, casseroles, or winter soups.

Fat

An adequate diet to support heart health includes restricting sugary food and beverages and unhealthy fats. Read food labels carefully for those that contain minimal amounts of sugar and fats as well as no trans or saturated fats when selecting fat sources for consumption; choose monounsaturated and polyunsaturated ones when selecting monounsaturated or polyunsaturated options - olive and canola oil, avocados, nuts/seed varieties, as well as certain fish, are great examples of healthy choices!

Always opt for lean meats and poultry over processed meats, and use only minimal unsaturated fat (canola or olive oil) when cooking, baking, or roasting them. Incorporating at least one serving of fish or shellfish each week into your diet to increase omega-3 intake is also highly beneficial.

Limit saturated and trans fats, both of which tend to solidify at room temperature, while selecting healthier fat sources such as olive or canola oil, avocados, nuts, and seeds, as well as oily fish like salmon, mackerel, or sardines with omega 3s as your sources for rapeseed, sunflower or canola-based vegetable oils instead of tropical oils like coconut or palm.

As per Dr Richard Zelman, an effective heart-healthy eating pattern will help lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides while supporting weight management and lowering the risk of high blood glucose and diabetes, both of which can damage arteries.

Carbohydrates

Carbs provide energy to our bodies, and eating healthily should include carbs in moderation. They are found in many sources such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and dairy products; added sugars from cookies, cakes, or candy bars may provide energy but lack essential vitamins and minerals - leading to weight gain. Naturally occurring sugars in fruit, milk, or yogurt offer better choices for maintaining heart health.

Complex carbohydrates found in vegetables and grains should be eaten for maximum nutrition; their slow digestion provides steady supplies of glucose into the bloodstream while providing essential fiber, digestion-aiding nutrients, and vitamin-rich vitamins, as suggested by Dr Richard Zelman MD. Sources such as unrefined whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, and barley are healthy carbohydrates.

Dr Richard Zelman mentions that diets that support healthy heart eating typically restrict red and processed meats (such as hot dogs, salami, and bologna), salty, crunchy snack foods, and refined carbohydrates like white slices of bread, crackers, and cookies. Instead, select lean proteins from skinless poultry and fish, nonfat dairy, vegetable oils, or nuts as possible sources.

Fiber

Following the recommendations earlier in the guide, we are already reducing refined sugars and saturated fat. At the same time, increasing fiber consumption is one way to decrease cholesterol levels and minimize the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular conditions, and promotes greater gut health.

Dr Richard Zelman articulates that dieting correctly doesn't just involve restricting certain foods; it should also include increasing the intake of other items. Many are worried about cholesterol, yet studies show that eating heart-healthy diets rich in fiber can lower both total and bad LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and blood pressure levels.

Start eating for your heart today by planning two days' worth of heart-friendly menus low in saturated fat and salt.

As you plan your meals, remember to include foods from each food group, such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean meats, nuts, and seeds. Aim for more fish and skinless poultry over red meat when choosing protein sources; limit high-fat dairy products, which often contain saturated fat; and limit sodium, which may raise blood pressure.

To reduce sodium consumption, try replacing salt with seasoning blends that contain no added salt when cooking or making salad dressing. These salt replacements can be purchased from grocery stores or made at home; just be sure to consult with a healthcare provider first if you are taking potassium-sparing diuretics or have kidney issues before trying any. When shopping at stores, also read nutrition labels and ingredient lists to find foods with less saturated fat, salt, and sugar content.

McDonald’s is creating a restaurant brand called CosMc’s

McDonald’s is creating a new restaurant chain named CosMc’s. The name came from the McDonald's mascot who is an alien. This name appeared in Mcdonalds advertisements of the 80s and 90s. The story portrayed behind this alien was that he came from some outer space and craved McDonald's food. 

McDonald's is a well-known fast food giant that is ready to expand its domain and enter into the restaurant business. 

The official information stated that it will be available in only some places during early 2024 and gradually expand. 

The core of this restaurant chain will stick to the McDonald's DNA but it will have a unique personality. This was mentioned by the CEO Chris Kempczinski. The food giant has released only a handful of information right now and plans to share more clarity on this in late December. 

This is another venture by Mcdonald's after the Grimace of U.S. business, introduced in June with a purple milkshake offering combo meals. This got huge traffic on social media and increased its sales. 

CosMc’s locations

This brand new spin-off restaurant chain is set to open its very first restaurant in Bolingbrook in December 2023. This is suspected to be a part of a test run to ensure the smooth flow of later ones. They are planning to open 10 CosMc's pilot locations by the end of the year 2024. These 10 locations will include Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and other places.

CosMc’s menu

CosMc's menu is huge with a special focus on drinks and breakfasts. There are more than 10 new drinks from Sour Cherry Energy Slush, and Tropical Spice Made to S’mores Cold Brew. These drinks are not just coffees and lemonades but energy-booting beverages. Adding more flavors is in your hands because you are free to ask for some customization and make it all that you crave.

Not to forget the food menu. It has a range of flavors from Spicy Queso Sandwiches to Creamy Avocado Tomatillo Sandwich. The menu does not end here; it offers an array of options to choose from for your snacks or even sweet dishes.

The blueberry Lemon Cookie Sundae and Caramel Fudge Brownie are a must to try to satiate your sweet tooth. 

You must be wondering if you can get the Classic Mcdonald's menu. you can get the Mc Classics but CosMc’s may not offer the combo meals.

CosMc’s Ordering Experience

But want delivery and ordering options? McDonald’s is set to offer a “seamless digital and Drive Thru experience,”. This means customers will be able to use constantly developing menu boards and online payment methods and a simple and fast online food ordering process that is seamless and even cashless. Drive-thru pickup windows will play the role of delivery partners who will be assigned after the placement of your order.  

Conclusion: 

CosMc is not a new name, you may be unaware but it was featured in McDonald's commercials advertisement series between 1980 and 1992. CosMc was all about a mascot that featured an alien from outer space who was made to crave McD's food and beverages. This was part of a “small-format, beverage-led concept”. Inspired by the concept of this out-of-the-world alien- the “truly out of this world" taste is coming to CosMc Restaurants.  

Bolingbrook is the first pilot site, situated near Mc Donald's Headquarters in Chicago, that is expected to solve the problem of a “3 pm slump.” Surprisingly half of the menu is dominated by drinks such as “churro frappé,” vitamin C shots, “s’mores cold brew,” “popping pear slush” and “sour cherry energy burst.”The partial food menu offers McDonald’s staples such as  McFlurry ice creams and egg McMuffin sandwiches, hash brown bites, cookies, new sandwiches, donuts, and pretzel bites.

If you are also waiting for the restaurant to come to your location and hold your cravings and wait for its expansion it is expected to be in late 2024.
