Oof I made BS's son and say hello to the Son of Destruction, Red Paprika Cookie! Originally, I was supposed to make twins with Cayenne Cookie as a first concept but scrapped it. This time, when Spire of Shadows was released then I will make Blueberry Swirl Cookie.

Red Paprika Cookie(레드 파프리카 쿠키, ledeu papeulika kuki)

Only and older son of Burning Spice Cookie.

25 years old(Same age as Radamer Cheese Cookie).

His personality is based on Karaku from Demon Slayer.

He is titled, 'Son of the Destruction'.

Under the custodianship of Nutmeg Tiger Cookie as a teenager after his father was sealed away along with the other Beasts.

Poses as a secondary general of the Spice Swarm.

He appeared in both 'Shadow of the Destroyer' and 'Wings of Eternity'; he and Radamer Cheese Cookie will have a beef on each other.

His design is based on Kartikeya from Hinduism Mythology(Ever since his dad's design is based on Shiva so yet Red Paprika Cookie is based on Shiva's son).

He is voiced by Larry Brantley(Spinner from My Hero Academia).

(BONUS: Burning Spice Family)

Hey, don't cry. It's gonna be ok. Put a glaze like teriyaki or barbecue sauce or gochujang sauce on your veggie burgers while you cook them and let it caramelize on the outside, okay?

I've been thinking lately......I like the idea of Calenglad not liking Créa at first.

Like he's notably untrustworthy of outsiders, and can be a bit harsh and brash in his dealings with others. And in comes Créa, newly sworn in, young and in awe and despite her friendliness, he's stand-offish. He's suspicious and doubtful and maybe a bit harsh to her. And she wouldn't know why! Nothing she tries works.

She's lonely and feels that she doesn't fit in well, and Calenglad's cold welcome doesn't help things, despite her being Dúnedain. She doesn't have that many friends, and Calenglad asks more of her than others, and it never seems enough. She never complains, but she can't figure out why he has such a strong disdain for her, and while she loves Evendim, it's making her question if she's a good Ranger at all.

And I think a big reason why Calenglad has such disdain for her is because of her father. I personally think Calenglad and Baranhir were both very good friends with Arathorn, despite being opposites- Baranhir was kind and friendly and giving, and trusting- while Calenglad is slow to trust, a bit more dour, and reserved in his emotions. Créa has many of those traits that her father did. And I think there might've been some incident maybe that Baranhir was the cause of that made Calenglad dislike him.

Maybe Calenglad believed he didn't take being a Ranger seriously enough, even though in his heart he knows it's not necessarily true. Baranhir holds no ill will towards him and never treats him differently despite Calenglad's dislike of him, and that's okay. And maybe there's an incident where Baranhir is too trusting of someone, or let's something slip through his fingers, he's not fast enough, and maybe people get hurt or killed because of him that cements this fierce disdain on Calenglad's part- he clearly wasn't fit for being a Ranger, whether the circumstances were truly Baranhir's fault or not, and this only proved it.

Calenglad did feel some smidgen of guilt at his treatment following Baranhir's death years later, never having patched things up despite them both spending much time in Evendim, though Baranhir's time there lessened in the decade or so preceding his death- and that too he uses against him, thinking him not dedicated to the cause.

But I think Calenglad is like. A mix of emotions at first upon meeting her. A strange new "Dúnedain"- without a sindarin name, not very good at speaking sindarin, who only knows a fraction of their history and culture, who apparently is only joining now- and her father was Baranhir, Valar help him. There are a lot of circumstances that kept Créa away, and none her fault or within her control, but Calenglad, based on the sins of the father alone, already has marks against her.

And it makes Créa miserable! She already feels like an outsider, and despite taking every terrible job, taking his criticisms and beratings and his coldness, his opinion never seems to change. Even some of the other rangers, whom she's done good work for, wonder why Calenglad doesn't cut her slack.

And god, poor Créa. Her father has been dead a long time, and as a child she refused to believe it. He left over the mountains and promised to always return to them, and even as the years went on and the chance of him being alive was slim, some part of her still held out on the smallest of hope that he could be alive still....and then she finds out that he was buried in the hills above the city, overlooking the lake. And she is absolutely devastated. It was foolish to think he still lived but having that hope crushed, to see him one last time, to ask him so many questions, to just hear his voice...all gone.

And on top of everything else, she really does wonder if she's even worth being called a Dúnedain. That maybe her parents were right never to tell her. She's angry at the world and her father and mother and every circumstance that's led here and she's alone and struggling and just wants a friend. Someone who understands her. But she's an outlier and it's a heavy burden to bear.

And maybe sometime after that things come to a head- Calenglad is cold and biting to her over something trivial and Créa has taken his disdain for far too long and just EXPLODES. She rounds on him furiously and takes him by surprise as she jabs her finger into his chest and tells him off- that he has treated her like shit for NO reason, that she has done EVERYTHING he has ever asked of her without complaint, has done NOTHING but work hard and grovel and she is DONE being berated by him.

And she doesn't care that there are others around to hear as she tears him a new one bc she has spent so many months, if not years keeping this in and she has worked SO goddamn hard to be here and he has NO RIGHT to treat her like this. He is impossible to please and treats her as though she's worth less than the dirt on his boots! and by the end she is SCREAMING at him bc she refuses to be treated like this by him because despite everything she's done, it will never be enough- she will never be enough.

And usually Calenglad is prone to anger but he's just stunned at this. No one has ever confronted him like this, and he's realizing that oh. He's pushed her to her breaking point. Maybe he was a little too harsh to her as she's pointed out. She storms off in tears and after some moments he tells off the other rangers who had stopped to look at the spectacle and he goes off to look at the water and think.

And he's going back on how he's treated her and putting the pieces together as to why he's been so harsh...and eventually realizing that, Oh. He put his feelings against her father onto her, and never gave her an opportunity or a chance to prove herself. He had already written her off from the start and he never saw how harshly he was treating her. He knew very little about her and never took the opportunity to learn, as he did for the others. He did not put himself in her shoes; how alone and isolating things would've been, the pressure, the stress...and he had never once considered that perhaps he was going too far.

And it's a lot for him to come to terms with. It's uncomfortable and probably still a bit pissed, and though he wants to be angry with her for that blowup, he can't. It was deserved, as much as he hated to admit it. He regretted the treatment he gave her that brought them to this point. He let his prejudice blind himself, but his pride did not want him to apologize. Not yet, anyways.

But he does start to change. He doesn't approach Créa because he's not the best with words, and she is closed off and her demeanor frigid. It's a noticable change to her usual warm smile and words and he realizes he hasn't seen her happy in a long time, and he feels guilt that he was the cause of it. Things are very tense and clearly word had gotten around to those who weren't there, but Calenglad softens. He doesn't give her the shitty, hard jobs (as often). He doesn't nitpick everything she does, nor scrutinize so heavily. He pays more attention to how hard she works. And one day he even gives her praise. It was mild, but it was something- and even Créa was surprised, if not reticent, to believe his words.

And I think eventually maybe they do talk. Créa's preferred spot to hide on Tinnudir is behind the keep, close to the water (or maybe they talk in Tham Nambarth, before she's established her gardens). And maybe one day Calenglad seeks her out and she's surprised to see him there, and even more surprised when he says that he's not there to berate her- she doesn't have to flee. And then he sits down next to her and she's like oh god. oh god. uhhhhhhhh. and they're looking out over the water towards Rantost in silence.

It's a very long time before he speaks. And he starts by talking about her father- who he was, what he remembers. That the only thing they ever agreed on was fishing. He's had time to reflect not only on his treatment of her, but also on his treatment of her father, to try and see past his bias. And it's awkward and uncomfortable because neither know how to navigate this, and its a conversation long, long overdue. He tells her that yeah, he disliked her dad. But he wasn't a bad person at all. And he let that cloud his opinion of her- and he was wrong. And that he's sorry. She didn't deserve how he treated her and going forward he's going to rectify that. But he understands if she doesn't accept it.

And Créa sits there and looks at him bc she never expected an apology out of him. She's still pissed and hurt and more than a little bitter at him. But he's come out here (though he shouldve come MUCH sooner) and recognized what he did was wrong...and wants to do better. It's a small peace offering, but a peace offering nonetheless. And she accepts it. She nods her head and looks out over the water and they sit in silence for a long time, just thinking.

And maybe she talks a little bit about her dad- how he always traveled but came back to them, and that she remembers vaguely hearing stories of this place. Why her parents never told her- that she followed in his footsteps to find him. And Calenglad just feels like shit bc god. He thought Baranhir just fucked off bc he didnt take the job seriously and instead he was trying to raise a family!! He didn't know! And while Créa doesn't go into a lot of detail, she huffs a small laugh and says that he taught her how to fish, too.

And Calenglad has the ghost of a smile on his lips and tells her that...well, maybe they'll have to go fishing some time. It's one thing they have in common.

And tbh it'd be soooo interesting bc it would really make Calenglad reflect on his actions in the past and come to regret how he treated Baranhir- it takes meeting and knowing his daughter to realize that, and he regrets it immensely. The Rangers need more than seriousness and dour and closed off people- they need love and kindness and warmth, too. Calenglad and Baranhir balanced out those things when with Arathorn, and he regrets that he realized much too late and let himself be so against him.

And maybe one day sometime after, when Créa climbs the hills to visit her father's grave and talk to him about all that's passed...and she's surprised finds fresh flowers placed at his grave, lain thoughtfully over the stone. She smiles.

Here’s a dish from French Cooking Academy, another of my subscribed YouTube channels.

I like the business of stuffing each chunk of beef with a bit of garlic and bacon; I’ve done this with lamb, using garlic and lemon. Another interesting detail is the use of cinnamon, suggesting a way-back-when influence either from the Moors or having access to spices as they passed through from Dpain Spain or North Africa on the way to somewhere else.

Kokkinisto (Greek) and Tajine (Morocco) also use cinnamon - and cloves, and nutmeg, and ginger etc. etc. depending on recipe. I’ve made both, they’re really excellent.

@dduane​ and I got Very Interested because the use of what Mum used to call “cake spices” is also quite medieval and, in DD’s case, adaptable for the Middle Kingdoms project.

The Corsican one recommends rigatoni, cannelloni or similar large hollow pasta (presumably to hold lots of sauce!) For a more medieval approach I’d try Loseyns from late-1300s cookbook “The Forme of Cury” (that’s “cookery” without the k, so “coo’rey” not “curry”.)

*****

These are often regarded as Richard II-era ”lasagne”, though I wonder if there’s also an association with heraldic “lozenges”, easily created by cutting a sheet of pasta dough slantwise...

Either way, here’s “Tasting History with Max Miller” (subscribed of course!) having a go at Loseyns, which turn out like mac & cheese with extra spices.

Max ended up eating them with a stick because forks hadn’t been introduced yet, but IMO a better utensil would be the historical eating pick, like one of these.

...or even a spoon, especially if the loseyns were cut small with that in mind.

However eating pasta with the fingers - like many other foods - may have been done in the 1300s; it was certainly recorded in paintings from the 1600s...

...right up to the 1800s...

...though I don’t think these were dressed with anything more than oil or butter and some grated cheese, and the potential for messy eating was still pretty high. Eating small pasta rather than dangly strands with the fingers was probably much tidier, especially if diners knew the proper etiquette for doing it...

Finally, here’s something from our own store-cupboard, bought out of curiosity during a recent visit to Polonez in Dublin.

This is pasta cut into little squares; both the front and the back of the pack calls them łazanka...

...and according to Google Translate, this just means “pasta noodles”.

However...

Can any followers tell me if "łazanka” has any relationship to “lasagna” or “lozenge”? An enquiring mind wants to know! :->

ETA: @seriously-mike​ says “...łazanki were brought to Poland in 16th century by queen Bona Sforza (so) the relationship with lasagna might be there.” See his Reply for more info.

ETA (2): A little bell went off in my head about the shapes in the bag and I suddenly remembered seeing them as something call “torn pasta” - the Italian word is “maltagliati“ - which were made using re-rolled scraps of dough from “formal” shapes; more info at that link.
