Vegan Chinese Snow Fungus Soup (Tong Sui)

[sikfankitchen]

Chinese Snow Fungus Dessert Soup! Super Nourishing and Delicious! Boil together jujubes, goji berries, snow fungus, dried longan, chinese south king almonds, rock sugar and water. 🥣

[footballandshit]

started the new year right by having one of my all time fav tong sui (chinese sweet dessert) - barley, ginkgo & fu zhuk (beancurd) dessert 🤤💞

[johnthestitcher]

OMG! Delicious homemade chicken soup I made entirely from leftovers! Chicken was leftover store-cooked chicken, leftover rice, leftover 7-grains I had, even old carrots! Cooked in broth with egg noodles, onions, green onions, parsley, and tarragon - AMAZING. The white fluffy thing is a 'snow white fungus' from the Asian store. I cooked it separately and added it last - next time I will add it right to the soup to re-hydrate since it thickened the water I had it in. It's. All. Good.

🍎Too Uptight!!🍎

Vil Schoenheit x Hippie! GN! Reader

Tw: None!!

Idk if I nailed the hippie aspect but I went for more of a "love of the earth and environment, foraging, self-sustaining, kinda spiritual" hippie ig??? I feel like it reads more spiritual cottage-core but eh?? I'm happy with it.

When one gazed upon the beautiful visage of Vil Schoenheit many words came to mind. For many it was the classic “beautiful”, “elegant”, “stunning”, or “Poise”…..maybe even “fairest of them all” a title that he always stove for during every hour of everyday. As he currently walks through the courtyard you can’t help but think that the whole thing seems exhausting. But you admired his commitment all the same and the way there was such nobility to his aura.

Though at the same time you wished Vil took better care or himself and took time to simply let go and be at peace with the world.

“Perfect, I found another Tremella Fuciformis.” Jade calls, scooping the mushroom off a dying branch on the forest floor and placing it in his foraging satchel.

“Ah, really?! That’s like, clump number 8, right? And you can just call them a snow-ear Jade…” you shake yourself free from your previous thoughts about Pomfiore warden, a blush deepening on your cheeks.

While many saw you as “lazy” or “way out of it” you preferred to call yourself what you are, a hippie. While the others were in class studying away you kidnapped Grim and ran into Jade on the way and asked for help with foraging. Foraging for what? Snow-ear, a fungus from your world that somehow carried over to the twisted wonderland. Though the only difference? Back home they grow in tropical climates like Brazil, but here they actually grow in the snow. Thus, why you’re currently up mountains, in one of Jade’s best foraging spots.

“Say, Perfect, why do you need snow ears anyways?” Jade asks suddenly, catching you off guard and making you blush before hiding it behind your scarf.

“Uhm….I just was going to use it in a soup-”

“Soup?! Why didn’t you tell me this sooner!! I thought you wanted to make some fancy lotion for Vil!!” Grim blabs loudly, making you jump and then sigh.

“Ah, a gift for Schoenheit? Well you made a good choice using Snow-ear.” Jade chuckles.

“Listen, if anyone deserves a breather it’s Vil. He always seems to tightly wound, and…he needs to just…let go…” you mumble.

Later that day you took your haul into your room and with the guidance of Epel who was well aware of and on board with your plan to woo Vil, the two of you start to brew a nice natural face scrub, as Vil had claimed that the one he had been using before had stopped being made.

——————————The next day——————————

“PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME!!” You call, clothes flowing in the wind. Your self altered uniform that you’re so proud of making you nervous as it’s so different than the man across from you.

You had given Vil your gift with a note asking him to meet you in the courtyard of Pomfiore at sunset. You stood by a large cotton wood in the back left corner of the property. The warm spring air making the puffs of white pollen look like snow as they fall to Earth.

Vil remains silent, and it rings loudly as the wind whistling and the ruffling leaves make an almost intolerable cacophony that it only drowned our by your thoughts.

He’s going to say no. He thinks you’re too different to him. He’s a try-hard prince who’s perfect and you’re the magicless ramshackle prefect who dances in the rain, forages for food, and loves the Earth more than words can describe.

How could this work? It can’t-

“Heh, took you long enough.” Vil muses pulling you back to reality.

“Wha-” you start looking up at Vil.

His dorm robes flutter in the wind much like your own clothes, and a red blush dusts his ivory cheeks as he smiles, tucking a loose hair behind his ear as he nears you, and leans down with a smile.

“May I…?” He asks, ever the gentleman.

You’re almost too stunned to speak, only muttering out a brief: “Y-Yeah…”

Crimson lips meet yours as the Pomfiore perfect gives you a brief smooch before standing with a confident smirk plastered on his face.

“My, flustered are we? I know I’m beautiful but you must learn to control this if we’re to make this work darling…though it is charming how surprised you seemed to be. Honestly have you picked up on none of my hints from the past month?” He questions.

You then blush harder. Though you thank the world and spirits around that this man was given to you. And you step forward and lay your head against his chest, earning a chuckle from him.

——————————7 months later—————————

You lay with your head in what you believe to be the most comfortable lap in the world. But even prettier is the view. Vil takes another bite of popcorn you made earlier and looks at the romance movie playing.

Vil sighs deeply, letting his shoulders slouch, he places some of the junk food in your mouth. He wipes his now free hand free of butter and then moves it to massage your scalp, his nails scratching in the most satisfying way.

Vil sits on his side one hand propping himself up as your head lays in his lap and his free hand plays with your hair, he looks down at you with a loving look mixed no doubt with the serotonin from the sickeningly sweet romance movie. He’s dressed in one of your sleep shirts and a pair of sweatpants and had left his own clothes in your living room, as he claimed:

“I wouldn’t want all of my belongings to smell like all this junk, lord knows what would happen if Rook were to figure out I join you to eat junk and watch movies on Friday nights...” He would trail off and grumble but never turn down an invitation.

It was euphoric in a way, to see Vil come to you at 7:00pm on the dot each Friday. Rook and Epel knew full well you were dating their house-warden and kept it a secret for your sake but what they didn’t know was how much your hippie lifestyle had started to creep into Vil’s routine.

He’d come to you after one of his photo shoots, and look as if he wanted to tear his hair out from stress. He’d walk in and grab you by the collar and kiss you before changing into a comfy outfit you bought for him, much more your style than his. with a flowing skirt, a nice blouse with embroidered flowers, handmaid jewelry, and a colorful bandana to tuck most of his hair back. You'd then drag him out the woods behind Ramshackle and have him help you forage for dinner. He was a natural at botany and poisons after all.

Before, things would be more formal, more of just small talk, asking about each other’s day with tension heavy in the air. not knowing how to connect to each other even though you had been friends for months before and shared a common interest in botany and films. it was so easy as friends but harder as a new couple.

You hated it. He hated it too.

But one day after talking about what you both desired out of this relationship, you both realized you wanted someone to simply relax with. Though your ideas of relaxation varied a-lot. Mostly because Vil didn’t seem to know how to truly relax without doing some sort of physical activity. Lazying around seemed repulsive to him. So you compromised.

You were both interested in botany and naturally grown foods and products, thus why not teach Vil more about the Earth and how to harness it in a healthy, sufficient way? It was still something active in Vil’s mind, thus it’s always how things started until you both made your way back inside and to the kitchen to cook your findings. while you played music from your world on your somehow still functional phone. I couldn't make calls to your family, but somehow still had your playlist intact. Vil thought the music choices were odd but grew to like it and respect it for its message and freeness in expression over time.

Afterward was always different, however. Sometimes a movie, and sometimes just talking or enjoying each other’s presence and cuddling.

“I’m glad, you know…” Vil drawls out with a yawn. you look at the clock, around 11 pm this is late for him, as Vil is usually early to bed and early to rise,

“What for?” You ask with a hum.

“I’m glad I’m here with you…you make me feel so soft and warm." he groans in frustration and rubs the corner of his eye with his index finger, spreading some of his makeup before continuing "No…that doesn’t make any sense…I suppose I mean you make me content and happy.” He hums and smiles warmly, causing you to reciprocate.

“You make me happy too love…” You smile up at him, leaning up to meet him as he leans down and you two share a chaste, emotional, kiss.

“What a wonderful life this is…” you think to yourself.

口味最“奇怪”的4种糖果 -> the four candies with the strangest flavours.

1、星空棒棒糖 -> planet lollipops

星空棒棒糖有名的高颜值糖果，大部分的女生都有买过，或是男生情人节买来送女朋友都有了解过。-> Planet lollipops are popular for their appearance, lots of women have already purchased them before, or men who, on Valentine's day gifted it to their girlfriends, have understood. 它的味道你尝过后就会觉得“这是什么沙雕玩意儿，我吃了塑料吗？”，有这种感觉并不奇怪，星空棒棒糖大部分都是甜苦甜苦的味道，有些还带着塑料的气味，吃完就怀疑人生，估计这个糖果也就只能当做摆设。-> After tasting its flavour, you will think: "what is this sand sculpture-like thing, am I eating plastic?" Having this kind of feeling isn't exactly strange, planetary lollipop largely have a bittersweet flavour, some lollipops even have a plastic odour, after eating it, you'll question your life, seems like this kind of candy is only used for decoration.

2、榴莲糖 -> durian candy

...打开包装就是浓浓的榴莲味，吃到嘴里就感觉是三里往外都是这个榴莲味 -> upon opening the package are the dense/strong durian smells, eating them makes you feel that the durian smell is everywhere within a 3 mile radius.

3、姜汁糖 -> ginger candy

姜汁糖里面就是有大量的姜味，吃的第一口还是上面糖味，含一会后姜味就显露出来了，你会有一种姜辣的感觉，一直猛吸气想要减少这个辣味，没想到后面越吃越辣，让人有点受不了，吃到一半就吐了，这种一般都是家里的老人才会买，老人很喜欢这种甜辣的感觉，甚至吃起来还想喝一两口小酒。-> Within ginger candy is a considerable amount of ginger flavour, after eating the first bite, the first taste is sweet, after sucking on it for a bit, the ginger flavour will come out and you get have a spicy ginger feeling. Keep inhaling sharply, wanting to reduce this spiciness, not knowing that more and more spiciness will follow, intolerable, spat it out halfway through, this kind of candy will typically be bought by a family's older individuals, elders really like this kind of spicy-sweet feel, to the point of also wanting to drink a couple gulps of liquor.

世界上最好吃的十种甜点，吃过六种，算我服！-> 10 of the world's most delicious desserts, eaten 6 types, count me in!

1、布朗尼蛋糕--美国 -> Brownie--America

布朗尼蛋糕属于重油蛋糕的一种，但它和一般重油蛋糕的区别在于通常较薄且较结实，不像普通蛋糕那样松松的, 而且一定是巧克力口味 -> Brownies are considered a type of pound cakes, but they are different from regular pound cakes in that they are usually on the thinner and sturdier side, unlike the regular cakes which are fluffier, and brownies need a chocolate flavour.

2、提拉米苏--意大利 -> Tiramisu--Italy

提拉米苏是一种带咖啡酒味儿的意大利甜点 -> tiramisu is a type of coffee-flavour containing Italian dessert.

10、乳酪蛋糕--阿拉伯 -> Cheesecake--Arabic

这类蛋糕介于蛋糕和甜点之间，因而越来越受人关注 -> this type of cake is a cross between cakes and desserts, and because of this, more and more people have given it attention.

(Woooooh, I finally found it ! I hope you won’t mind me doing a copy/paste…)

Helloooo, I’m coming rather quickly, but I immediately fall asleep after sending you my reply, thank you so much for being a kind person and letting me wake up to such kind words q-q)💕💕 (I can’t believe you’re being in a tight situation, hope it gets resolved fast!;;) As you long as you’re able to, would you mind if I ask for a zhongli and/or Al-haitham with a f! Reader who’s sick despite being very healthy most of the time ? F! Reader is a kind and shy person so she’d easily feel useless if something bad ever happens due to her weak condition… please do take your time for writing it ! I don’t mind the wait at all, please do it whenever you’ll feel like it and I hope that it won’t bother you to do so ;;v;;)

Taking care of a bacterial bag (affectionate) / You’re sick

Characters: Zhongli, Al Haitham x fem!reader

Genre: fluff

A/N: I don’t think I’ve used any specific femme representing words, so technically gn!reader works as well! I also haven’t had a lot of interaction with Al Haitham yet, so I excuse me if my characterisation isn’t on point yet.

ALSO SORRY THIS IS COMING OUT SO LATE I think I actually did finish Zhongli’s part the day you sent the ask, but wasn’t able to wrap it up until recently

Zhongli

Oh goodness you’re sick. Somebody calm this old heart of his.

Of course he’s gonna worry quite a bit, because you’re his beloved treasure and he can’t have his beloved treasure fall ill now, can he >:((

He’s been having sneaking suspicions about your symptoms already though, since it’s quite rare for him to see you catch a cold and it’s clear you’ve been having symptoms lately.

Worry not, your malewife Zhongli comes to the rescue! He’s ready to tend to you, taking care of everything around the house and catering to any wishes you might or might not voice out.

Constantly in the kitchen to make some nice soup and steep the best tea to open your sinuses (he’s wearing an apron while cooking. Yeah. Let that sink in.)

Will not let you help him in any way even if you insist that you’re okay and would feel guilty and helpless if he’d have to do everything. Lie back down, he has a wooden spoon and he is ready to make you soup. He is not afraid.

Will press a small kiss to your forehead when you scrunch up your face in dismay, amusement swirling in his eyes at your pouting.

He does that asian parent thing where he presses his forehead to yours to check if you have a fever.

Will make you take traditional Chinese medicine and if you complain about the bitter taste, he’ll chuckle and reward you with nice sweet snow fungus soup.

Also his immune system is stone cold and unfazed all the time, so if you really really really want to cuddle, he will hold you as much as you’d like. He’s incredibly warm and his back rubs easily soothe you into a deep sleep.

Alhaitham

Alhaitham is a very technical and rational person, direct and seemingly uninterested in other people, but all of that coldness and rationality fly out the window as soon as there’s anything happening concerning you.

He’s gooey and soft for your weakened state, he does NOT enjoy seeing you suffer.

He tries to scramble together all the things that could relief your symptoms and literally puts everything on a silber plate(tray).

On the tray you may find some light crackers(upon your request), some tea, tissues and cough drops from a local shop.

It’s kinda fun to see him pop in to check on you, an apron draped over his body halfheartedly as he greets you with some orange juice.

He will reluctantly cuddle with you if you ask him nicely, but mentally he’s damning your cute face for tempting him into snuggling a bacterial bag.

[pure-ablution]

Hi! I was wondering if you had any bone broth recipes to share, or any other collagen heavy recipe recommendations?

These are the recipes I use most frequently! Unlike lots of broth recipes, they’re very flavourful, and aren’t a trial to eat or drink at all—they’re actually very tasty, and even Alajos likes them, so I think that’s a real testament. I don’t always follow the exact recipes to the letter, I switch it up with herbs and spices quite a lot, and I use whatever meat I have on hand, but once you’ve made the basic recipe a few times, you’ll understand the method well enough to start experimenting (I also recommend reading Anthony Bourdain’s chapter on stock in his Les Halles Cookbook). I eat at least one helping of one of these recipes each day, and I really think it makes a huge difference to my skin, hair, and nails.

Chicken stock

Chicken feet broth

Chicken essence

Goose stock

Giblet broth

Pork stock

Beef stock

Lamb stock

Veal stock

Venison stock

Sweet snow fungus soup

Edible bird’s nest soup

[meikuree]

I almost never get homesick for food until I fall sick, at which point all the more elusive food cravings rise up in full force. I miss qing bu liang, snow fungus soup, my mother’s luo han guo and chrysanthemum liangcha, and herbal lotus root soup. and thunder tea rice.

[torontoscoroner]

margaret: snow fungus soup :D

the people actively trying to kill the inspector and george: ????

[silviakundera]

finally!! it's happening!!!!

Kaleidoscope of Death, chapter 96

(spoilers)

Lin Qiushi didn’t know what to say at all. He fished out a piece of candy, peeled off the wrapper, and stuffed it into his mouth.

They’d also come to a red light with seventy seconds left. Ruan Nanzhu braked and turned to look at Lin Qiushi. “I want candy too.”

“Oh,” Lin Qiushi said, and just as he was pulling out a second piece, he saw Ruan Nanzhu lean over, face looming suddenly large before him.

The next moment, Lin Qiushi felt a soft, warm touch on his lips. It lasted for only a moment before pulling away. By the time Lin Qiushi came back to himself, Ruan Nanzhu was licking his lips, with the mild comment, “tastes sweet.”

Lin Qiushi’s face went instantly red. He thought he ought to calmly reply something, but his heart had picked up a wild rhythm—he didn’t know what to do at all. Just now, Ruan Nanzhu, with that pretty face of his, had been so close. Lin Qiushi could practically still smell Ruan Nanzhu’s faint woodsy scent lingering.

Green light. The car started again. The two didn’t speak the rest of the way.

Though they weren’t speaking, Ruan Nanzhu’s mood seemed to have massively improved. The corners of his lips were lightly turned up.

Lin Qiushi kept feeling like he ought to say something, but he couldn’t figure out what. And so, under great conflict, he covertly pulled out his phone and typed into the search bar: what to talk about after kissing.

But all the results were: what to talk about to get a kiss—

Lin Qiushi, “…” We didn’t even have to talk before getting to kissing!

People needed search results for this?!

Ruan Nanzhu didn’t want to talk, and Lin Qiushi didn’t know what to talk about—so the two maintained this atmosphere between them all the way until Lu Yanxue passed them each a bowl of snow fungus soup, and Lin Qiushi cleared his throat. He said, “tastes good.”

Ruan Nanzhu, “mh.”

Lin Qiushi, “…” Mh, that’s it? You don’t want to say anything else?

Then, after he finished his soup, Ruan Nanzhu just got up and left for upstairs. Lin Qiushi watched his back disappear, feeling momentarily cheated and wronged for taking a tease seriously.

//

The previous matter so abruptly interrupted, Lin Qiushi didn’t quite know how he felt about it. Nowadays, he could actually sort of tell that Ruan Nanzhu treated him differently, but that sort of supposition was too unbelievable—Lin Qiushi couldn’t understand at all why Ruan Nanzhu would feel that way about him, in fact wondering at first if it wasn’t just his own wishful thinking.

After all, couldn’t a man as gorgeous and incredible as Ruan Nanzhu get any girl he wanted? Why would he be interested in a guy as stiff as Lin Qiushi?

It was in moments like this that the importance of prior romance became obvious. As someone who’d never been in love, who’d never even had a secret crush, Lin Qiushi had absolutely no experience in these matters.

It was like being outfitted in some LV.1 armor and heading straight for the top boss—befuddlement wasn’t even a question. He couldn’t even pass the maze that came before the boss.

[littlecarnet]

For @starblue2406

Here are a few things I'll eat in a day. I typically don't eat a big breakfast, but I will have a big lunch. Dinners in my family are late, usually 6pm to 8pm, we typically walk after dinner, then I'll drink tea to relax before bed.

You'll probably notice a lack of beef and pork, I have trouble digesting them, so it's mostly chicken and seafood. My family also don't eat a lot of bread, it's treated more like a side than a meal.

And yeah, there's a quite a mix of cultures here. My mom's side is Greek/Egypt with Turkish influences from her great grandfather, my dad is Native American with some adopted local New Mexico flavors. Since I was originally born and raised by the ocean, seafood and sea vegetables are a big thing in my diet. They're hard to find in the southwest, but I crave them and they keep me healthy as I have low blood pressure, so I need a bit of healthy salt.

Got a few for the dark ace please sorry if it's a bit long

😭 💤 🍩 🕷 🔪 🎁 ☁️ 💘 💙

*cracks knuckles* let's mcfucking go

😭 CRYING - what makes them cry? do they cry easily? my man's tear-ducts are DRY, no one and i repeat no one has seen him cry.

I feel like if he ever did, it would be related to his big ol' betrayal

💤 SLEEPING - do they fall asleep easily? what helps them sleep? it wildly veers between 'out like a light within 30 seconds' and 'insomniac for a week' - when he's going through bouts of not sleeping the best he can do is brood on the balconies until his brain declares "enough angsting, let's pass out"

🍩 DONUT - favourite sweet treat? he's an oldie, he likes yin’er tang, 银耳汤, which is a chinese dessert soup made with snow fungus and jujube dates, sometimes he has it because it's meant to make you drowsy

🕷️ SPIDER - what is their biggest fear? do they have any irrational / mundane fears? no irrational fears but he reacts poorly to his hallucinations and nightmares, most of which are the people he's killed with focus on the old Storm Hawks/Tempest Runners

🔪 KNIFE - how do they react to injury / misfortune befalling their loved ones (significant other, family, friends)? do they put themselves at blame? back when he was training all the Elites, if they ever got hurt he'd go "That's my fault for not training you properly" but he didn't ever Mean It (tm). Nowadays it's more of a "you're hurting? then pick yourself up" attitude.
