[rye-enjoying-things]

Sal is a chaotic little turtle

Very confused sometimes

Will bite

Has eaten uncountable utensils

(idk if they're even in @turtle-tot-tournament [most likely not]but just in case here they are ^^')

[rye-enjoying-things]

Vote for Sal[the No Name AU] please lol

I don't care if we tie or not but I think it'd be cool to get Sal past at least the first round!

SSAC, “Splinter Stop Adopting Children” By @tmntforeverinmyheart

Splinter a mutated Indian giant squirrel rescued the turtles from the lab they were trapped in. He flees to the sewers with them where they all become humanoid like. Over the next few years, splinter adopts more children humans and mutants alike that wonder into him and his sons home. Eventually they all become one big family!

No Name Au By @rye-enjoying-things

Salvador, or Sal, is just a baby alligator snapping turtle that Raph got as a pet before they mutated due to a rouge oozsquito that somehow lasted that long. Raph basically raises Sal for a majority of their life!

[butterflyscribbles]

So I haven’t talked nearly enough about Mutant Mayhem yet but I saw it for the second time a few days ago and they have consumed all my thoughts have some random headcanons I’m dying I have to talk about them more:

⚠️(Spoiler warning for MM as well)⚠️

April

- Lives with her mom and grandfather on her mother’s side. Raised by a single mom who’s a veterinarian and her grandpa, a retired tailor and clothing retail manager, moved in after her grandma passed away a few years ago.

- Listens to way too many murder mystery podcasts and thrillers are her favorite movie genre

- Practices doodling a lot in the sides of her journal or class notes. She’s inspired by courtroom sketch artists and old biology journals.

- Swears like a sailor. Even more than Raph. Tries to censor herself around them but it only gets worse the closer they become as friends

- Becomes a sort of ambassador for the turtles and other mutants in the city. Anyone who doesn’t approve of them, goes through her…

- Favorite subject is biology, outside of working on the school newspaper of course

Leo

- Big time book worm. Has read a lot of the classics like The Great Gatsby, Catcher in the Rye, etc. which gives him an advantage heading into high school. His favorite subject is literature naturally as a result.

- Autistic, practically canon but just putting it out there

- Like April, he’s got a sensitive stomach under pressure. Nausea flares up all the time, especially at the sight or smell of blood. They bond over it. Nothing brings two people together like commiserating that your tummy hurts all the time🤝

- Hopeless romantic. Had fallen head over heels for a few other girls he spotted up top even before April came along. She was just…different. He watches a lot of sappy romance movies too they make him feel all warm and fuzzy.

- Love language is words of affirmation big time. He’s always about hyping up the people he loves and will defend them through anything.

Raph

- He’s the team medic in this iteration. He’s no professional but growing up he had so many injuries from being a scrappy lil dude that he picked up on how to take care of ‘em on his own and of course shares that knowledge with his bros and April later. He’s surprisingly gentle when he needs to be.

- He’s the most prone to nightmares/night terrors. The fact that Raph was the one to go seek comfort from Splinter in the tots scene is so important to me.

- He and Donnie are the anime enthusiasts. Hasn’t seen as many as Donnie but it’s close.

- Scratching his shell gently, especially up by the shoulder blades, is like an automatic snooze button. He passes out within minutes.

- Second biggest crybaby to Mikey. It happens when he feels any emotion too strongly whether it’s happiness, anger, sadness, etc. and he hates it. Makes him feel weak, which is why there usually is a lot of punching involved too.

Donnie

- Can’t swim and is the only one who actively dislikes getting into the water.

- He and Leo have been studying how to speak and write Japanese together for years. Don has picked up a lot from all the anime he watches.

- Is the most emotionally open version of Donnie to date. He’s always telling his family how much he loves them without restraint and is the first to ask what’s wrong if he picks up on someone acting weird or trying to hide something.

- To compliment the above hc, he’s insanely observational, like Sherlock level. They don’t know how he’s able to do it but his attention to detail and his ability to take that and create plans and get a read on people is baffling. If Donnie doesn’t get a good vibe off someone, believe him and run the other way. (Makes him really good at those spot the different puzzles too lol.)

- Loves to dance just like his previous incarnation before him:’) Bootyyyshaker9001

Mikey

- Is actually afraid of cats…growing up with Splinter, who would freak out at the sight of them, only taught him to freak out along with him. They are sharp and unpredictable.

- Other than that however he’s an animal lover. Had a few pet fish through the years that he saved after being flushed.

- Practically canon but the most physically affectionate by leagues. Constantly seeking a brother, adopted mutant family member, or an April to cling to.

- Super into musicals and is a actually a decent singer

- Can take a punch like nothing you’ve ever seen and can still be standing….but gets sick constantly his immune system is wack

For many Jews, eating potato latkes on Hanukkah is non-negotiable, whether store-bought or made from scratch. But what should we be eating with them?

I’m not talking about the old applesauce vs. sour cream debate (I’m team neither), or about nibbling on a latke while holding a glass of bubbly at a chic Hanukkah soiree (I’m team exhausted mom in bed by 9). I’m talking about practical, everyday stuff: How can latkes be incorporated into a balanced, filling, seasonal meal that won’t leave you nauseous? 

The answer was harder to find than I’d anticipated; most people I asked were similarly stumped.

After much contemplation, research and a deep-dive into The Nosher’s Hanukkah archives, here are 13 ways to turn latkes into a complete meal — from the centerpiece of a festive breakfast to a side dish alongside classic brisket.

Crockpot Sweet and Sour Brisket

Throw this together in the morning before work and let the promise of a hearty dinner get you through your day. Make sure to let the flavorful gravy soak into your latkes.

French Onion Brisket

Drawing inspiration from French onion soup, this modern twist on a classic braised brisket is even better when it’s made a day ahead. Serve with your favorite steamed veg.

Juicy Instant Pot Brisket

Tender, sweet-and-savory brisket that’s ready in two hours. The best use for your Instant Pot.

Perfect Roast Chicken

All the secrets, straight from a bubbe’s mouth.

Quick Skillet Roast Chicken 

An easy one-skillet chicken for the soul, complete with veggies. Let the latkes soak up all the schmaltzy pan drippings.

Za’atar Fried Chicken with Spicy Thyme Honey

Why not go all in and match fried with fried? Hanukkah fare doesn’t get much better than this herby, succulent, shatteringly crisp fried chicken.

Roast Goose 

Hear me out! Decadent, golden roast goose is a long-forgotten Hanukkah tradition from the Middle Ages, but the flavors more than hold up today.

Israeli-Style Turkey Pastrami

Salty, sweet, spiced and ready in a flash. Serve warm, sliced, with mustard and a salad. I recommend this mayo-free Russian health salad for optimal crunch.

Latke Deli Sandwiches

Sub the rye bread in your favorite deli sandwich for two latkes for the ultimate Hanukkah treat. Warning: not for the fainthearted.

Latke Hotdish

A twist on the beloved casserole from the Upper Midwest, this hotdish is topped with mini latkes instead of tater tots. Filled with brisket and a whole load of veg, this is a great way to feed a crowd.

Everything Bagel Latkes

Aka breakfast latkes. You can’t go wrong with topping your latkes with dill-y, lemony cream cheese, lox and everything bagel seasoning. Poached egg optional, but encouraged.

Latke Poutine

Inspired by New York’s Mile End Deli circa 2017, top your latkes with cheese curds and gravy a la classic Canadian poutine. The real miracle of Hanukkah.

Latke Board

A festive take on hot girl dinner (or post-school snack time), this board proves that it only takes a few store-bought additions to turn latkes into an entire meal.

What were some of your favorite Risetober art pieces you did this month? Do you have any favorite Risetober art you've seen from others?

Good question! I'd say I my favorite art pieces were Day 3: Pumpkin, Day 7: Mummy, and Day 12: Video Game. Pumpkin was a good test for a different kind of style (I also had a sketch for turtle tots Raph and mikey), Mummy was just a great opportunity to draw Leopatra, and Video Game was just me getting to draw both my favorite fandoms in one drawing. I do wish I could've had the time to finish more prompts, but schoolwork hits like a truck carrying bricks going 100 miles on the highway.

Can't really decide what my favorite specifically was, but I really liked the art I saw from @honey-rye, @sariphantom, @untitled-tmnt-blog, @v-albion, @myososheep and so many more! The art each of them all made were incredible!

Wat?   The Waiting Room door Sarah Sze

Waar?   Peckham Rye Station, Londen

Wanneer?   5 augustus 2023

Op YouTube volg ik een vlog over kunsttentoonstellingen in Londen en het zuidwesten van Engeland. Meestal gaan die over exposities in musea, maar onlangs was er een video over een kunstinstallatie in een voormalige stationswachtkamer. De video maakte me dermate nieuwsgierig, dat ik besloot de installatie te bezoeken. Vanochtend was ik al in Dulwich in het zuiden van Londen en Peckham is van daaruit niet ver.

De wachtkamer van het, noch steeds in bedrijf zijnde, station Peckham stond al vijftig jaar leeg. Het station werd geopend in 1865. Het was een periode dat tijd een steeds belangrijker rol ging spelen. Spoorschema’s werden gesynchroniseerd en op alle station werden klokken aangebracht met de officiële ‘railway time’. Aangezien Peckham Rye Station een belangrijk knooppunt van spoorlijnen was, had het een grote wachtkamer.

Volgens Sarah Sze, een in New York woonachtige kunstenares, vindt er in de 21e eeuw net zo’n radicale omwenteling plaats als in de 19e eeuw. Elke dag worden vijfmiljard foto’s gemaakt op mobiele telefoons en pakweg het dubbele daarvan wordt elke dag gedeeld. Sarah Sze: “Ik ben altijd geïnteresseerd geweest in bepaalde perioden in de geschiedenis waarin onze relatie tot de manier waarop  we en tijd en ruimte in de wereld ervaren, radicaal versnelt. De uitvinding van het vliegtuig , de uitvinding van de trein, je ziet interessant werk uit die tijd voortkomen, in film, beeldende kunst en literatuur . We zitten midden in een extreme orkaan, waarin we in een exponentieel tempo leren om door middel van beelden te spreken.”

In de immense wachtkamer is met roestvrijstalen buizen een installatie gebouwd. Als je de zaal inkomt zie je een, uit witte vellen papier opgebouwde wereldbol. Op de witte vlakken worden afwisselend beelden en patronen geprojecteerd. Als je om de installatie heen loopt, ontdek je dat er niet alleen op de globe beeldfragmenten worden afgebeeld, maar ook op het plafond en de muren om je heen. In totaal bevat de installatie 42 videoprojectoren die ervoor zorgen dat je je letterlijk midden in het kunstwerk bevindt.

De ruimte waar deze installatie  is geplaatst speelt een essentiële rol in de ervaring van het kunstwerk. Dit zelfde kunstwerk zou in een moderne museumzaal niet half de werking hebben die het heeft in dit oude, inmiddels tot monument verklaarde, gebouw. Het werk zet aan het denken over tijd en ruimte, maar ook over klimaatverandering en de rol van de mens in het beheer en behoud van de aarde.

Ligging. In 'n ou Kaapse huis, ongeag van wat sy grondplan was, is die kombuis altyd aan die end van 'n vleuel geplaas-van 'n agtervleuel, as die huis agtervleuels had, en aan die stertpunt van die T as dit 'n T-vormige huis was.

Grootte. Soos die meeste ander vertrekke in die huis, het dit die volle breedte van die vleuel beslaan, en was dit gewoonlik min of meer vierkantig, d.w.s. van 4,5 m x 4,5 m (14' x 14') tot 6m x 6m (18' x 18').

Buitedeur. Die kombuis het altyd sy eie buitedeur gehad ('n

bo-en-onderdeur) wat of na die sy of na die agterkant van die huis oopgegaan het nooit na die voorkant nie. In die meeste huise was die kombuisdeur 'n eenvoudige plankdeur. 'n Kom- buisdeur met verhewe kussingpanele in bo- en onderdeur wek dadelik die vermoede dat dit 'n ou voordeur is, wat uit sy oor- spronklike plek verskuif is. Die kombuisdeur was breed maar nie hoog nie sonder die kosyn, gewoonlik omtrent 1 m (39" tot 40") breed en van 1,8 m tot 1,9 m (70" tot 74") hoog. Die onderdeur was altyd korter as die bodeur. In herehuise was die skeiding tussen die twee gewoonlik in 'n lyn met die vensterbanke; in kleiner huise kon dit 'n bietjie hoër lê, hoewel nooit tot by die ontsettend lelike half-om-half verhouding van die moderne namaaksel nie. Die deurkosyn was massief, soos inderdaad ook die vensterkosyne - omtrent 10 cm (4") breed en 13 cm (5") dik.

Vensters. Dit wil voorkom asof kombuise in die oudste huise- baie sleg belig was, dikwels deur slegs 'n enkele swaaivenstertjie of een of twee rye klein ruitjies bokant die deur. 'n Mens kan nie anders dink nie as dat die bodeur altyd oopgestaan het, behalwe snags of in gure weer. In later tye is groter vensters gewoonlik ingesit; net soos die kombuisdeur, het hulle egter nooit na die

[Melts that cheese right into it. Rye bread gets a little brown mustard. Lönnrot resisted a smile. Goes on the sandwich. Plate this up over here.]

[feelneurotic]

do you think, when kota and kenny are back and healthy to compete together, that aew is still gonna skirt around calling them the “golden lovers” or do you think they’ll actually suck it up and say it for once and not have to depend on someone on commentary saying it offhandedly?

bc idk if i can stomach another moment of them not even bothering to say it and then going out of their way to say shit like “golden jets” when kota ibushi is literally THE GOLDEN ASPECT of the golden lovers or golden elite teams. there was like zero reason for them to not even outwardly mention the golden lovers tag team. nigel did it like once on commentary (thank u, king).

[rye-enjoying-things]

Mikey and Izzy here with brownies, Mikey made them for whoever wants one. Good luck in the turtle tot comp😁

Raph says thank you and good luck while Sal is already eating the brownies

(your art is so cute! Good luck in the @turtle-tot-tournament too!)

[woo-sustainability]

Sure looks good to me.

Litvak diaspora rye crepe breakfast

AP and rye flour w/ caraway crepes fried in salted butter, leeks braised in butter and champagne vinegar (gives off an allium sauerkraut flavor)~ compiled into an envelope with a slice of provolone topped with the braised leeks and broiled on low. Topped with fried tomato slice then fried egg with paprika, salt, pep, Parmesan, and parsley. On the side is a tater tot and salami hash. Had with a salted caramel and nutmeg iced latte with marzipan sweet cold foam.

Do you have any favourite traditional Finnish dishes, or ones you absolutely hate?

My digestion issues prevent me from freely eating stuff so there are some favorite dishes I can't have anymore, like mustikkakukko, which is a rye blueberry pie from my home region, eaten with a vanilla sauce.

Same with karjalanpiirakka, which is a rye pastry with rice porridge in the middle. All foreigners love these! They're celebration food for wedding and funerals with an egg-butter spread (similar to Japanese tamago sando filling, except use butter instead of mayonnaise), otherwise just a daily food.

What I can eat and like to eat whenever possible is poronkäristys, sauted reindeer, with mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam.

Karjalanpaisti stew is also something that's OK to my stomach.

What I sometimes eat and take the risk of upsetting my stomach is suklaapuuro, chocolate porridge. It's eaten both warm and cold (I eat it cold), and it's made from semolina and cocoa powder.

Every foreigner HATES Easter delicacy mämmi, which is made from rye, syrup and molasses. It's eaten with sugar and heavy cream. I can't eat it anymore but I loved it ToT

Maksalaatikko, liver casserole, is something I could eat every day but my stomach is NO. So I have it a bit a few times a year, if possible. It sounds horrible - rice porridge baked in oven with raisins and liver pieces - but it's delicious. Usually eaten with lingonberry jam.

Fish foods are a big thing here and those are something I don't eat. I'm not a fan of sea food or fish. Everyone loves salmon and I'm like MEH.

Old Faces || Luna & Rye

The stables were quiet by the time Rye and the servants returned. One benefit of the Stranger being gone was that Oberon allowed Rye to return to his tasks of facilitating trade with Wisteria. Garnering goodwill, or whatever the King wanted to claim. It was an unsubtle way that Oberon tried to outshine Queen Mab. To show her people that they’d been wrong to side with her during the war. Rye only participated in the charade because it gave him the ability to both travel easily without Oberon asking questions, and to choose the tradesmen he worked with himself. He quickly decided which trades people in Wisteria produced good work and just needed a chance, and those who thought too highly of themselves and didn’t need the extra business.

The servants had taken the carriage and horses closer tot he castle to unload what they’d brought back, while Rye left them to go straight to the stables. He always chose to ride on Nissa for the long journeys instead of in the carriage. He told the servants it was because he wanted to ensure they had more room to carry things for trade, but really he just liked having the escape of keeping Nissa by his side, for the day or two during the trip when he would always leave the servants to their own devices and take off on his own, usually to visit Robin or Freya.

Rye knew he probably looked like a terrible sight at the moment, after the long journey back. One of the carriage horses had spooked at something in the Woodlands and toppled the carriage over. It had taken them quite a bit of time, gathering things through the mud and dirt back onto the carriage before they continued on. He wasn’t worried about it for now, though. It was a few hours yet until he would be expected to be presentable. Oberon had insisted on having a grand feast when Rye returned, as he’d been gone for a few weeks, and would be leaving again in only a few days’ time. The King did always enjoy his excuses to indulge himself. So Rye would have to hurry to clean and dress in presentable clothing, but for now, he was happy to enjoy the silence of the stables as he tended to Nissa.

He swapped her bridle for a lighter halter, and tied it to a post outside of her stall. He removed her saddle, and returned to her side with brushes and a horseshoe pick. “I know it’s been a long few weeks, darling,” he said gently. He brushed over her face with the softest of the brushes, avoiding her eyes and pushing her mane out of the way. He pressed a kiss to the end of her nose before moving to her side to brush her neck. “You’ll need to rest up. We’re leaving again in a few days,” he continued in a quiet voice. If asked, he would swear that Nissa understood him, but at the same time, he knew he likely talked more for himself than for her. “Maybe we can make time to go by Briar’s and visit with Keelin. He’d love to see you again.”
