Supercorptober - 9. Apple

"I made you pancakes - I hope that's okay, my pantry is basically empty, I really didn't have time to shop-"

"It's perfect, Lena, thank you! Oh, and you have toppings?" Kara's pitch rose with excitement, and Lena chuckled as her guest reviewed the table with child-like wonder.

"Sugar, and butter, and melted chocolate, and nocciolata - good choice! - and bananas - I'll let this slide, Lena - and caramel, and - are these apples?"

"Yes?"

"But who puts apples on their pancakes?"

"My mother did", Lena whispered.

Kara took Lena's hand in hers, entwining their fingers with a gentle squeeze.

"What else did she put?"

"I- I don't remember", Lena choked out. "I think", she closed her eyes, "I think maybe caramel, and then the apples on top, and there was a bit of salt, and- lemon?"

Kara squeezed Lena's hand again, and Lena opened her eyes.

In front of her was a pancake, made exactly as she'd described, the caramel layer perfectly spread, the apples artistically disposed, and the smell of lemon subtle in the air.

"Kara, you-"

Kara watched her with an innocent smile.

"Yes?"

"I love you", Lena murmured.

Kara brought Lena's palm to her lips.

"And I love you, Lena Luthor."

For Cisco: "I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory" (I know Hamilton quotes are super basic, I don't care)

Drinks, Ice cream, or whichever they found first, but really it always ended up as both.

Cisco and Caitlin had an impressive after mission routine. The bartenders knew them on sight, which Cisco got the feeling might have been a bad thing.  The gelato place once called STAR Labs to ask about them when they didn't show up on a Tuesday night five minutes before closing. They'd stopped wearing company sweatshirts after that. If nice people like Carmella De Fazio at the Caravaggio on second street could figure out a pattern and where they worked, so could people like Lisa Snart, or worse. 

"We could have died," Caitlin said, the Nocciolata gelato dripping down her cone a little. 

"We didn't," Cisco said with a wince. His side still ached, medical attention or not. 

"Are you ok?" Caitlin asked. 

"Uh, you saw the gaping wound in my side," Cisco said. " So I think you know the answer to that one."

"I meant emotionally," she pushed. "That meta was going to kill you and you were just... it was like you weren't even there."

Cisco's shoulders heaved upwards. "No? I dunno. I guess dying's just... not that scary when you've done it before."

"Bullshit," Caitlin said.

"Oh, like you'd know?" Cisco asked. "I've died three times."

"And I've imagined death so often it feels like a memory," Caitlin hissed back. "I was still terrified, and --Cisco, I know you. I know when you're lying to me."

"What difference does it make?" Cisco asked, his mouth twisting downward, and not to catch his own dripping cone. "If we die, we die, and maybe Barry fixes it, maybe he doesn't.  No one else will ever know. Just me."

"Cisco, do you ... I know we've never actually talked about it, but... did you want to?"

"I already made you all relive it with me," Cisco said. "I don't want to...put that on you."

"You're not putting it on me. " Caitlin said softly. "Let me help."

More people passed by them on the sidewalk before Cisco nodded. 

"I think we need something stronger than gelato, though." "I've got rum and tequila," Caitlin said, switching the hand her cone was in so she could offer her hand to him. He took it.

So as a Polish person, I both love and hate Polish! Ice as a headcanon, but my grandma is half-Italian and somehow this manifested into Italian! Mav so here we go (spoiler: there's a lot of food involved):

Mav's mom was first generation Italian born in NYC, lived in Staten Island until she married Mav's dad - her family was from Bologna

Mav, despite the hero worship he had for his dad, was mamma's boy

she could speak Italian well and did so around the house but never taught Mav, and what little Italian he could speak, he forgot once she died and he wasn't around the language

she, however, left him their family cookbook, entirely written in Italian, and so recipes are the only text he can understand without googling a lot

after he retires, he wants to take some Italian lessons with Ice

as mentioned in one of my post's tags, the few words he remembers and are still natural to him are pet names; he calls Ice caro (dear??) like his mom called his dad, mio angelo, tesoro (sweetheart/honey??) and when Bradley was small and he was tired, he'd call him bambino

He also uses sei un raggio di sole (you are a ray of sunshine) sarcastically when Ice is grumpy -- it's a phrase his mom used when he was grumpy as a kid

he couldn't say 'I love you' to Ice for some time so instead, he'd say ti voglio tanto bene and then eventually moved to ti amo and then to English

he actually really likes to cook, he just needs to cook for someone - he was taught that cooking is a sign of love so he likes to cook for their family, but not just for himself

Bradley couldn't eat nutella for years b/c Mav's homemade nocciolata was so much better. Ice could literally kill for his nocciolata-filled bomboloni and ricotta and strawberry jam crostata

Slider often 'visits' them to get their leftovers and had once asked Mav to make him aubergine parmigiana and shrimp risotto as a birthday present

Mav makes Ice tiramisu as a pick-me-up when he needs to leave for long

Mav loves wine but it must be complimentary with the meal

he makes his own pasta and if you're in the kitchen while he's making it, he's going to use you to roll or knead the dough for him

when Carole was getting sick but still staying at home, he'd make batches of ravioli, tortellini, tortelloni, mezzelune, cappelletti -- any stuffed pasta that could be frozen and then quickly boiled -- so Bradley would have dinner when Carole was having a bad day

he refuses to ever make fettuccine alfredo as a rule b/c it's boring and its american, and will never make meatballs to serve with spaghetti, but Ice broke him and he now finally can do the americanized marinara sauce

their house has plenty of jars -- homemade pesto (3-4 different kinds), a mayo-sized jar of oregano, thyme, rosemary, a jar with grana padano in the fridge and a whole shelf filled only with different kinds of oil, cooking wine and vinegar, and a little garden with fresh basil and, once they moved to San Diego, tomatoes. Ice has to remember to water it when Mav is away in the summer

he does the stereotypical arm waving and shoulder shrugging while talking but only when he is either worked up or tired

they also have that one special kind of plates, white with blue and yellow decor and sunflowers on the main dish plate

As a bonus, Polish Ice headcanons:

Ice's mom emigrated during WWII but his dad was second gen born in the US -- she was from Gdansk

he can cook pretty well, especially polish recipes, since he often helped her cook at home

he, however, hates cooking. But he will absolutely stress-make pierogi if he can, usually a huge batch of like 50 or something

he did hand over the polish recipes to Mav - the only thing is, Mav refuses to make bigos for him (b/c he'd need to make his own sauerkraut and it stinks)

he drinks his vodka neat, in a glass, not as shots, adds coke if he's going for a 'light-drinking night'

he occasionally goes to mass at a Polish church - he, usually, doesn't understand most of what's being said but his mom used to take him to one each Sunday and it's now a form of comfort

His favorite childhood meals were placki ziemniaczane (potato pancakes) with mushroom sauce and pyzy (type of dumplings) with plums, which Mav can now make in his sleep

he's never attempting to learn Polish

but he wants to visit Gdansk and the Polish seaside once every few years

In questi giorni sono stata a trovare una mia amica, era da un sacco che non ci vedevamo di persona da sole io e lei ed era da tantissimo che non facevo una gita da sola. Dovrei farlo più spesso, girovagare per le strade a caso è una delle cose che amo, ma non mi ritaglio il tempo di farlo quanto vorrei e quanto, probabilmente, mi farebbe bene. Come per molte altre cose che amo, in effetti.

Dopo aver fatto merenda siamo andate a prendere alcune cose per preparare la cena in questo posto in cui si vendono anche le piante e ho preso una rosellina per mia mamma, chissà se resisterà nei suoi terrazzi. Ho preso anche una piccola piantina di rododendro per il mio mini-balcone e una piccola monstera: questa l'ha presa anche la mia amica e vorremmo provare a farla stare in acqua, intanto io l'ho messa insieme alle altre che cercano di resistere alla poca luce di casa.

Lei è appassionata di cucina ed è una grande viaggiatrice, una combinazione perfetta per farmi conoscere nuove ricette e nuovi sapori. Per cena mi ha preparato riso pilaf con verdure e zafferano, l'indomani per colazione abbiamo mangiato i suoi kanelbullar appena sfornati e poi a pranzo pasta coi broccoli appena presi al mercato, peperoncino e bottarga. E ovviamente poi abbiamo fatto di nuovo merenda allo stesso bar, in cui ho preso di nuovo la schiacciata alla fiorentina, che avevo già preso il giorno prima per la prima volta e volevo "conoscerla" meglio. Sì, sono abitudinaria anche quando provo cose nuove, vivo di contraddizioni, lo so.

Mi ha regalato un libro di ricette a base di miele che non vedo l'ora di provare e mi ha fatto assaggiare le combinazioni strane di mieli che ha preso da un'azienda agricola sarda, un miele allo zenzero e una nocciolata con miele e carrube. E un cioccolatino napoletano dei Fratelli Scaturchio con la velina stampata al contrario, chissà come mai. Di pomeriggio siamo andate alla ricerca di un negozio iraniano che aveva visto su instagram e abbiamo preso altre cose da provare: lei del riso affumicato e un mix di erbe aromatiche, io dei dolcetti vari e i gelsi essiccati. Mi piace questo aspetto di lei, mi fa sempre scoprire cose nuove. Abbiamo girato un po' sotto la pioggia e poi è arrivato il momento di ritornare a casa. Spero proprio di replicare presto, perché le videochiamate sono una bella invenzione, ma stare insieme di persona è tutta un'altra faccenda. Abbiamo parlato tanto e di alcune cose si riesce a parlare meglio di persona, con la pancia piena e una tazza di tè in mano.

Questa mattina mentre sistemavo le piantine in balcone ho visto che alcune hanno fatto le nuove foglie e anche qualche fiorellino. La primavera sta arrivando. Chissà cosa ci aspetta. Chissà cosa riusciremo a combinare. Non sempre arriva ciò che vogliamo, a volte non so nemmeno cosa vorrei e lascio che il tempo passi e porti quello che capita. Chissà se quella coccinella ha fatto altrettanto e chissà se è incastrata o al riparo tra le spine. Vedremo.

Just so that you can order again I am going to guess that milkshake preference number 3 is nocciolata. I've got to say that you carry your weight well, and everything looks well proportioned and properly distributed. You can't say that about everybody.

Hmmm it's entirely possible as I do remember making a joke about not being able to pronounce it.

Thank you! I feel like in real life I'm kinda bottom heavy or at least I feel like it 😅

Here's to more weight to carry 🍺

A look at the success of apple-based products at the Good Food Awards

As the old saying goes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” but what if we told you that apples could also bring home the bacon? Well, that’s precisely what happened at the Good Food Awards, where Apple-based products dominated the competition. 

From crisp hard cider to savory apple butter, these products showcase the best that this beloved fruit has to offer. Let’s take a closer look at how Apple-based products shone at the Good Food Awards.

What are the Good Food Awards?

The Good Food Awards are, for many people, the ultimate celebration of deliciousness. This yearly event brings together food and drink producers from all over the country. These amazing makers create products that are not only delicious but also sustainable and socially responsible.

But, how do they choose the winners? Well, the Good Food Awards judges take their jobs seriously. They taste their way through hundreds of entries to find the products that stand out from the rest.

And the best part? The Good Food Awards winners get to wear a fancy badge that says “Winner” on their products. That lets you know you’re about to indulge in something truly amazing. 

However, the Good Food Awards aren’t just about recognizing the best of the best: they’re also about inspiring change in the food industry.

Matinée compliquée, pas mal d'envies urinaires au matin mais rien la veille au soir... Les cracottes au riz possiblement responsables ? Ou bien la confiture de coings un peu dépassée...

Ou peut-être le corps qui digère encore le Nocciolata.

Qui sait...
