Side Dish - Bob's Habanero Hot Sauce - Liquid Fire

Using fewer habanero peppers can reduce the spiciness in this extremely hot habanero hot sauce. The sauce works wonders as a pick-up for Bloody Mary drinks. Flavors meld wonderfully and the sauce keeps nicely for a long time. Warning: A dash is all you need and it is best to use gloves when handling the habanera peppers.

Aaaand here’s the last of the Magical Monster Girls concept lineup. Sorry about the spamming of these guys, but they’ve been spinning in my head for the past two days or so. At least this last girl’s a bit special (and the one that’s been spinning the most in my head)..

You see, this one works (um, well, used to work for) the mad scientist who I’m thinking would be the main antagonist of the series. He pretty much caught her one day during an unrelated escapade, figured she would be of good use for indirect research on the Main Four, and bargained with her about giving her a new form. To his surprise, she readily agreed to that last part.

So, a few Antagonist Of The Day stories later, a stranger called Specter arrives.

Ever melodramatic yet calculating, she uses her powers of invisibility and telekinesis to thwart the Main Four in her quest for attaining information. However, Bleeding Heart is suspicious about the taunts and nicknames Specter’s been giving them. “Habanero and/or Habanera” for Pump-Noggin (depends on the circumstances for that one, really)? “Brunhilda” for Howler? “Queen of the Night” for Crow? And, even weirder still, “My Dear Marquis” for herself when technically the whole queen thing sounded more accurate?? Why, if Bleed didn’t know better, it almost sounds like Specter was riffing off poor Adele from Choir Class and throwing all kinds of opera references at them for fun!

..Okay, aside from Habanero. Calling Pump-Noggin a spicy pepper is understandable, given her fiery powers and all.

Still, this bothers Bleed/Jade so much that pulls a multiple episode side investigation trying to figure out who this actually is. When she’s nearing the end of her options list, she pulls Adele aside one day and ask if Specter is haunting her house at all. Adele, being very confused, simply says “no” and advises a very tired Jade to go take a break from all this Monster Girl talk. Jade almost takes that advice, but one rehearsal song from Adele later and it all clicks. Shy ol’ Adele is the Specter.

(And, contrary to what you see here, Adele is genuinely heavier/chubbier in build than her Specter form. That’s at least part of the reason why it took so long for Jade to figure that out..)

Jade does tell the group and this does lead to a redemption arc type thing, but that’s another post for another time. All that you need to know is that this does lead to her joining the Main Four as a tweaked version of Specter (see below).

So, yeah, that’s all five done! Hope you’ve enjoyed reading all of these. Once again, big thanks to this dress up game for the help. Really couldn’t have made all of these concepts without this. However, next time you see these girls, I’ll actually have my own drawings of them lol.

We Have the Announcement!

Inoue-sensei finally posted an official announcement about the release of volume 6! She attached a very spicy illustration along with it.

Back to the actual information:

Release date - March 18 (Thursday)

The regular and special edition will come out at the same time

Special edition will include a bonus chapter (which this panel is a part of). It’s similar to how they released volume 4 with the special edition having bonus NSFW content like Taboo and Habanera

This chapter will be based on the twitter requests she asked for back in September!

Aside from bonus content, the booklet will also include colored illustrations from the exhibition and some others!

Source: twitter. com/inoue310/status/1355729010827771907?s=20

Get ready because it’s 10 Dance season!

(I’m personally very happy about the booklet, not just because of the bonus stuff, but also because of the exhibition art. When I found out about the expo I was really sad that I couldn’t get the catalog, but now I can get a piece of it!)

🌶 - can you handle spicy foods?

🎸 - what kinds of music do you like?

🌶 - can you handle spicy foods?

I’d say I have a low-mid tolerance? I like spicy food, but I the ones I can actually handle and enjoy are jalapeno, sriracha sauce, and sometimes habanera.

🎸 - what kinds of music do you like?

That’s a difficult one, because my music list has a wide variety of music genres. Pop, traditional, powwow-step, classical, rock, metal, etc. I guess you could say I like all forms of music, though less so with country and rap. I think as long as it puts me deep into a story-driven daydream, I’ll enjoy it.

Things to do & places to go in Madrid

This is not like your typical guide. I will not tell you the touristy things, the main attractions and places that are ‘essential’ to go if it is your first time in Madrid, like Puerta del Sol or Santiago Bernabéu. This is a guide where I will tell you about the cool bars, restaurants and parties, secret corners and hidden places, where the soul is young.

Rooftop bars:

Aloft Rooftop Bar: This is a hotel located near Gran Via, where, if you go to the last floor there is a rooftop bar, where it is a really nice place to enjoy a jar of sangria with your friends.

Terraza Cibeles: This is located on the 6th floor of the iconic Palacio de Cibeles. You get to see the skyline of Madrid in a privileged area, where there is a lovely view of the park and the buildings are not very tall (so you see everything for miles away). It is a marvellous place to spend your afternoon while drinking a gin tonic, or even just a coffee.

Gymage lounge resort: This is also a few minutes walking from Gran Via, and it is on the last floor of a building that is also a gym! They have multiple amazing cocktails, wines, drinks and sangria. There is also a pool (though unfortunately, to my knowledge you cannot go in it) with some cool lights and decoration, and an amazing view of the Madrid skyline. “Te quedan solo unos escalones para llegar al cielo de Madrid.”

Brunch Places:

Carmencita Bar: This is a very well known one, and you have to book online in advance. It is quite affordable, costing 15 euros approximately, and you get a mimosa and dessert with it! But don't worry, if you want to order just the main dish, you can do that too. And good news, it is available every day of the week!

Marieta or Habanera: They both belong to the same group, so their menu is quite similar. It is available during weekends and holidays in the morning, and it is a fixed price of 20 euros per person. It includes a whole table of different plates that they bring for you to try! There’s sanduiches, smoked salmon, drinks and dessert!

PS: my personal recommendation is Habanera, because it has an amazing decoration, and the vibe is pretty cool!

Ojalá: This place is in the lively neighborhood of Malasaña, and they serve brunch all day, every day! They have many different menus, where you can order different assortments of food (sanduiches, eggs benedict, different desserts). They all include juice and coffee! It is affordable, with a range of 10-15 euros, and there are many other exquisite things on the menu, if you don't feel like eating too much.

Cool bars: 

Platea: this is a gastronomic center, where there is a stage in the center with live music, and a few stands, where you can get either drinks or tapas (small plates of traditional Spanish food). On the second floor, there is a restaurant, which you can make a reservation beforehand and have an incredible view of the whole place.

Sala Equis: this is in Malasaña and it is a really cool place to hang out in the afternoons, since there are a lot of people socializing and you get to meet new friends. It has live music and a bar where you can get different drinks. 

Espit Chupitos: they have a few spread out along the city, and it is a shot bar! In total, they have over 600 shots, drinks and jars. The place is dark, with some loud music, and all of the drinks are written on the back wall. They have many categories that can vary from spicy, sweet, sour, fire (yes, some of the shots actually catch fire), and some have candy or other goods! There are even a few where you can prank your friends (and they have to put a blindfold on). However, this is not exclusive for Madrid, as this bar is also available in other cities in Europe - but it is still worth the go, and quite fun!

Markets:

Mercado de San Idelfonso: This is in Calle Fuencarral, and it is so small that sometimes you pass right through it without noticing. The entrance is at the corner of the street, and once you go in there’s food from all over the place! If you go upstairs, there are a few tables outside where you can enjoy drinks with your friends in an open sky, with some cool lightning and a nice environment.

Mercado de San Antón: This market is in Chueca and it is one of the biggest in Madrid. There, you can find lots of different types of food from all over the world.

Retiro Park. Although yes, this is a very pretty park in the center of the city, this is not me telling you to go stroll around it. I will tell you a couple of places you can go while there, where you will have the most amazing time!

Florida Retiro: this is a house (yes!) inside the park, where different events take place throughout the week. Depending on the day you pick, there will be a different audience (age wise) and a different vibe - it can be a party, show, karaoke bar or even just a restaurant! My personal favorite is a party that happens on Sundays afternoon during the spring and summer, called After Brunch.

Palacio de Cristal: yes, I am going back on my word. This is, in fact, a famous tourist attraction. This one is worth mentioning though. The name pretty much describes it: it is a small palace made of crystal, that is see-through. Going there during the sunset is unbelievably pretty! You get to see all of the colors of the Madrid skyline while the sun is shining through it.

Secret Restaurant: 

Yes, that is right. There is a secret restaurant in Madrid, that you have to snoop for a bit in order to find it. It is called The Secret Garden of Salvador Bachiller. Well, Salvador Bachiller is a shop and they sell clothes, shoes, accessories, decorations and even bags & suitcases. From what you see from the outside (or even the inside), it appears to be no big deal! However, if you go to the third floor, you find a café. On the 4th floor, there is a restaurant, and lastly, on the 5th, you find the garden (where you can order food, or even brunch)! They do have a few of these shops though, and the secret garden is only located on one of them. Now, which one is it?

How do you make benihana's garlic butter?

How to make benihana garlic butter is an easy question to make and very tasty as well. I have made this sauce several times, for both breakfast and dinner. Simply add 2 tablespoons of unsalted garlic paste to your rice and mix together.

Then add a generous helping of chopped onions, a generous serving of carrots and an egg or two. I like to add about four eggs for the best texture and flavor. You can serve this benihana garlic butter dish with bread, salad or pasta. I like to eat this dish with tomatoes as well, but it is great on its own or with scrambled eggs for breakfast.

Another version of this delicious chicken noodle dish is to use roasted shiitake mushrooms instead of onions. To make this recipe more delicious you can also include some baby shiitake mushrooms. You will just need to add some dried mushrooms to your benihana recipe along with some olive oil and lemon juice. You can season your benihana butter recipe with cayenne or red pepper flakes if you prefer.

If you love Mexican food and cannot seem to get enough Mexican food this winter I have the perfect recipe for you. This is one of my all time favorite dishes and I prepare it for a lot of different kinds of meals. If you enjoy cooking elaborate Mexican dishes then you will adore this batch of benihana garlic butter. The recipes for this butter is quite varied and you will be able to find different kinds of moles in your local deli while digging through the grocery store.

If you are looking for a great way to add flavor to your chicken fried rice then you must try this benihana garlic recipe. To make this dish you will need to buy some garam masala and some dry shrimp. You will also need a habanera pepper, a tablespoon of Jamaican jerk, some corn meal, some sugar, some water and a couple of onions chopped fine. You can also use different kinds of spices to give your dish a special flavor.

First you will have to heat up some oil in a skillet. Add the habanera pepper and cook until it gets red and then add your onions. Once they get tender you can add your garlic and cook until it becomes translucent. When the mixture starts to boil you will have to add your sugar, chicken fried rice and salt to the mix. Cover the lid and let the mixture simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring often.

Now that your mixture is ready, you will want to seal your jar and put it in the refrigerator so that it will have a longer shelf life. Your benihana garlic butter recipe will taste great in your refrigerator for a few months. It is important that you remember to re-store any leftover sauce in the refrigerator as soon as you remove it from the package. If you store your jars of sauce in your refrigerator for more than two weeks they will begin to go bad. Always throw away leftover sauce that has gone bad.

There are many other variations of this traditional Chinese recipe. You can make benihana with sesame seeds instead of mixed garlic and honey. You can also substitute soy sauce for the honey. Another good option for this dish is to add white vinegar instead of water. These are just a few of the many ways you can alter this recipe to have the chicken, rice, or sesame seeds taste just as you like.

Many people are afraid to try this type of benihana recipe because they believe it requires a lot of skill to make. They are afraid that they might mess up the taste of the chicken, rice, or sesame seeds. Well, I can assure you that these simple ingredients blend well together when they are dipped into the spicy hot oil mixture. If you do not have a deep fryer at home you could use a skillet or a pot to make the dish.

Some people feel that frying dishes is a bad idea for food that will be consumed by small children. Well I beg to differ with you on that topic. In my opinion this is a wonderful idea and is one of my favorites foods. Small children love dishes that are hot. If you have never tried fried rice or benihana before you should try it today!

Toppings you can include in your batter are peanuts, scallions, onions, bell pepper, celery, mushrooms, raisins, garlic, ginger, and of course seasonings. When you season your batter it really helps to bring out the true flavors of the ingredients. You can use cumin, red pepper flakes, hot sauce, sesame oil, shrimp paste, shrimp meat, or spicy mustard to name just a few of the many delicious flavor combinations. Benihana garlic butter dishes really are a crowd pleaser and are an easy way to add delicious flavors to your meals.

When Carmen Jones opened on Broadway in 1943, one critic hailed it as “something more than a major theatrical event.” Seventy-five years later, the Classic Stage Company is presenting what it bills as the show’s first major New York revival since its Broadway debut. If it may no longer be “more than” a theatrical event, it’s still pretty damn exciting, thanks to a cast led by Anika Noni Rose and the show’s fascinating history. Between Oklahoma! and Carousel, Oscar Hammerstein II took a break from Richard Rodgers to collaborate with Georges Bizet, the long-dead composer of Carmen, the 19th century French opera that features two of the most familiar tunes in all of Western music – Habanera and the Toreador Song. Hammerstein kept intact both the opera’s music and its spicy story of a tragic love triangle in which a fiery seductress brings down a naïve soldier. But he changed the locale from Spain to the American South during World War II, and turned the Spaniards and Romani into African-Americans.
