[todaysromano]

Hi! Be sure to do something kind for yourself today! 🧡🥺 Here's a little cake: 🎂

Aw! Thank you so much!

I've actually had a great day today. Cake only could make it better! Thank you ❤️

[l1ghtfromthecloset]

Whelp since you guys loved the last one so much (53 notes DAYUM) uh, let's do another one :3

Here are some MORE funny and wholesome Yu-Gi-Oh! (DM and DSOD) head canons!

(With the addition of my OCs L1m and Zephyr)

-------------------------------------------------------

Yugi: Has a strange obsession with oranges. Like he HATES orange juice but loves anything orange flavored. Especially fanta.

Atem (before afterlife): Shared the same obsession with orange flavored things as yugi. They often fought over the last can of orange Fanta in the fridge... They always ended up sharing it tho. (Via switching places in Yugi's body.)

Solomon: Could secretly see Atem stand next to Yugi, even though Atem didn't have a physical body. But... He never said anything because he knew the bond between Yugi and Atem was special. He also bought more Fanta for the two when he found out Atem liked the soda.

Atem (after dsod): Visited Yugi and Solomon regularly. Even though Yugi couldn't see him, Solomon could. For some reason, Solomon has the ability to see the dead? No one knew why. But Atem and the old man reconnected. Eventually Yugi found out, and they all talked again, reconnecting, and Yugi/Atem played Yugi's newest game together.

Téa: She would help Joey, Tristan, and Yugi with algebra homework when the trio skipped classes for go to the arcade.

Téa (dsod): when the boys skipped class for the arcade, so did she. They all had Bakura help them with Algebra homework instead.

Mokuba and Kaiba (dsod): Mokuba had a late diagnosis of Autism and Adhd when he turned 16. When Kaiba found this out, he invested about a good $10,000 into putting a volume/color easing setting on the duel disks so those with autism don't get over stimulated when dueling. He eventually added visual audio settings for the deaf and convinced Pegasus to add braile on the cards so the blind can duel too.

Kaiba (dsod): Cut Mokiba's hair himself. He knew Mokuba would want to keep his hair longer, but also knew that Mokuba needed something slicker for his ever-growing corporate personality.

Bakura and Marik (after DM) : even after the Pharaohs tomb collapsed, Bakura kept in touch with Ishizu and Marik. Eventually, Marik moved to Japan just to see Bakura, and they started living together as roommates (😏).

- (oc) KaibaCorp L1m1nal (after dsod): Was originally created as an experiment for Kaiba to see if he can give ai emotional sentience (this was before dsod arc) but they eventually just became Mokuba and Kaiba's extended family. (After dsod arc) Litterly they lived with the two brothers. They eventually just became a "third sibling".

- (oc) Zephyr (dm): didn't know Yugi and the gang much, but being a pagan and having a connection with the dead, they always saw 2 Yugi's. One taller, one shorter. They thought that it could have been a dead relative of Yugi just watching over him, but then saw Yugi talking to the taller Yugi one day. Zephyr brushed it off as Yugi being pagan too. (But it was actually just Atem).

- (oc) Zephyr and L1m (during dsod arc): Did NOT like each other. Zephyr had a disdain for artificial life, being the pretentious pagan that they are. L1m had a disdain for mysterious and unreadable people. But both found a common ground in confusing everyone with their genders (one is a biological enby, and one is a amab).

Joey (in general): Buys eyeliner for himself and the ones that have a color that he doesn't like, he gives to Serenity (she loves any color).

Yugi and Atem(dm): Found an old photo of Yugi's mother in his closet, though it wasn't in good shape. Later on that day, Yugi found it in a picture frame, good as new, on his bedside table. He knew only Atem could have done this.

Mai (after dsod): started running a cosplay/modeling agency for people who liked the duel monsters card game and cosplay. She even worked with KaibaCorp to develop realistic holograms to add flair to her shows. She found that life wasn't about just getting money, but just about having fun and working hard to help yourself and others. She became an inspiration for millions of young girls who wanted to rule to world.

Lemme know if y'all want more :3

(maybe I'll do side/arc characters next time)

Chef Nyesha Arrington Makes Carnitas Tacos From Scratch 

On the premiere episode of “Improv Kitchen,” chef Arrington is challenged to make the classic dish using only ingredients found in her own kitchen

Introducing “Improv Kitchen.” In this new series, chef and host Nyesha Arrington will tackle a series of culinary challenges testing her creativity and resourcefulness in the kitchen. From unboxing mystery recipes to missions from fellow chefs and producers, chef Arrington will learn new techniques, problem solve, and utilize her own expertise to create dishes using what she has on hand.

On the premiere episode, chef Arrington receives a challenge from celebrity chef Aarón Sánchez via Zoom. “When you want to challenge another chef, you have to go back to the roots,” says chef Sánchez. “You have to choose an iconic dish that literally creates arguments at the dinner table.” And with that, chef Sánchez asks her to use her classic French cooking skills to put her own spin on a classic Mexican dish, carnitas from scratch — tortillas and all — and to incorporate Fanta into the dish.

“I’ve eaten a lot of tortillas, but I can’t say I’ve made a lot,” responds chef Arrington, but the challenge is on. Instead of pork shoulder, she subs in pork ribs, since that’s what’s in her fridge. First she creates a dry rub that she calls “Latin meets Mexican,” using turmeric, ground cumin, black pepper, onion powder, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, and dried oregano. Later, she’ll braise some with Fanta, allowing the corn syrup to help caramelize the ribs, and confit the rest with oranges and other aromatics.

“That’s what I love about collaborations,” says Arrington. “You take these classic techniques and flavors that were in [chef Sánchez’s] family for generations, and then kind of take my global influences and create an amazing bite that is so authentic to that time. It’s a time stamp.”

While the meat rests, chef Arrington tries her hand at making both flour and corn tortillas. The corn tortillas take only one try and turn out the way she had hoped. But for the flour ones, chef Nyesha tries to sub bacon fat for lard, which ends up making the tortillas fall apart. After four different attempts, she figures out the right combination of flours and butter to get the correct consistency.

In the end, chef Arrington ends up with two types of carnitas tacos she’s extremely pleased with. “The creative process of cooking is about paying homage to tradition, but then taking those elements and adapting them to what you have,” she says. “This is a bite I will never forget.”
