#so add paprika!!

[xythlia]

also I made beef stew yesterday and my tip of all time for getting an actually warm deep broth is adding two tablespoons of hot paprika & two tablespoons of sweet paprika plus a teaspoon of caraway seed and letting that bitch simmer for like five hours. the broth gets a ton of depth and your meat gets very very tender

?

if you have some old (cooked) rice that's still good but just incredibly dry/hard/not fresh, moisten a thick paper towel with a little bit of water and put it over the rice while you heat it up in the microwave. it'll be as good as new 🫡

alternatively if you wanna make it fun, pour a tiny bit of olive oil in a pan, drop the rice there and mix in some of your favorite spices (and maybe veggies and meat tho i haven't tried doing it with those so do it at your own risk). make a little hole in the middle and pour in a little bit of boiling water, then mix it a little bit. put a lid over to freshen and soften it up. remove the lid and repeat the water process but this time leave the lid off and let it cook on medium-high heat for a few minutes to get the bottom of the pan crunchy but not burnt

hello & welcome to Your One Unemployed Friend On A Random Weekday of Summer Break. today’s highlights include: cleaning the livingroom coffee table, applying to 1 (one) job, going to the grocery store for just arugula & parsley, almost washing the car, & making a dopeass salad in which I ate an entire cans worth of chickpeas

[exopelagic]

I can tell im getting good at cooking bc I can innovate new dishes such as ‘shit on toast’ and have it be good

[worstloki]

but I like the alliteration

Controversial opinion, but can we, as a fandom, stop referring to Loki as Laufeyson

[neontaxidermy]

I know exactly two seasonings but by god do they work

[grassbreads]

I eat a lot of pasta and unadorned jarred sauce because I rarely have the energy to cook anything more interesting after getting home from work, but today I fried onions and garlic and bell peppers to add to the sauce and I tried a new, slightly more complicated spice mix with them, and it turned out really delicious :)

Thank you Senshi

Imagine this

I've been reading some of this good fics about Yandere Batfam x neglected Reader and it got me thinking.

In some of this fic, usually it's Alfred that has given the reader some love and have not neglected the poor thing and I was like,

What if Reader is still neglected by the batfam but Alfred gave them enough love so much that reader just decided to stay just for Alfred and Reader really just treated Alfred as their real Father or Grandfather.

Where Reader just let go of any expectation from getting attention from the others and just strive to make Alfred proud and happy.

How the turns have table

Imagine reader walking pass the others not bothering to greet them as they look for Alfred instead and other stuff.

Dick seeing them practically skipping as they clutch on a medal hanging on their neck.

"Woah hey!-...um whatcha got-". He tries to say but doesn't get any answers because you were busy muttering to yourself 'I got first place! I have to show this to Alfred!' as you giggle while looking down at the medal and sprint away when you see a glimpse of the butler at the distance.

How instead of begging for the others to train you and become a vigilante, you ask Alfred to train you for self-defense (especially the stuff from his spy days).

Jason was the first to arrive at the manor when the team heard about some intruders getting in but halted when he sees you tying up the unconscious thugs on the floor.

"Hey Alfred is this right?". You didn't pay them any mind when some of them pile in as you pay attention to Alfred who was praising you and giving you more good defense tips while you and him pull the unconscious people out.

How you spend healthy family time with Alfred by helping him in cooking and chores that earns you some knowledge of the recipes from his famous dishes.

Tim was trying to grab a coffee when he sees you having a fun time with Alfred as you skillfully prepare for dinner and actually have good laughs with him.

"Okay, then after I fold this I should add some paprika, right?". You ask the butler as he smiles at you while sipping on the tea that you made for him.

"Yes, you're correct once again young miss/master". He said while humming after drinking the tea indicating how good it is.

Tim can practically see you lighting up as you cheered a 'yes!' from Alfred's confirmation.

How you revolved your time and passion to Alfred and actually deciding that only Alfred is the one you should waste your time on.

Damian wonders around the manor when you and him bump into one another.

"And what are YOU doing walking around MY Father's manor?". He asks while glaring at you.

you just sigh and turn while clutching away the art supplies you bought so you can paint in the garden with Alfred.

"Walking away from you that's what I'm doing". you tell him as you turn the other way not even bothering to argue with the boy anymore.

How you do well in your studies and aim to get a good degree/phd and act like a proper man/lady but not because you want to keep up to being a Wayne but to see Alfred's proud face as he watches you stand on the stage as you show him your diploma/degree certificate.

Bruce decided to take a walk from sitting down for too long when he walk pass a framed picture on the hallway near Alfred's room and double takes when he sees you and Alfred standing together with while you were wearing a toga and cap holding not just any graduation certificate but a college one as the both of you look so happy and him seeing Alfred having that loving and well pleased expression something he rarely sees from Alfred after becoming the crusading dark knight.

Looking at the date he couldn't believe that it has been more that a few years since the graduation happened.

All of the family who used to ignore you suddenly took a different turn and started to try and get your attention but they fail to see that you already moved on from them and only cared about the one person that have literally loved you from the beginning.

Bonus:

Imagine Thomas and Martha Wayne was mysteriously revived for a day and met the family but was deeply disappointed to the others and took a special liking to reader because Alfred has said many good things about them and them especially getting many good degrees something that the rest haven't gotten yet or never bothered to get (this is my hot take because my family are hellbent on us cousins to finish school) and you know for a fact that Alfred is really REALLY proud of the kid that he raised preciously

listen i love garlic as much as the next person but i think americans are obsessed with garlic because there's not a lot of things happening on the strong flavor department. Like, we all know about garlic paste, now try adding something green and leafy to your bread, I swear it's as nice if not better

[tolsunflowerboi]

Made my first chicken korma today, and you know what? I think I did pretty good! It's not quite the right colour and I think I fucked up my ratio's slightly while I was scaling it down but not bad for a first go.

Will definitely make it again.
