Oregano infused roast chicken

(try this chef recommended way to marinate and roast chicken: pat dry the chicken thoroughly - really really dry, then season with salt and fresh ground pepper all over, including the inside. Then insert fresh oregano under the skin (breast side up). The recipe uses fresh thyme, but I prefer oregano. Any fresh herb really. Put it in the fridge overnight, or better 24 hours. When it’s time to roast - heat up a cast iron skillet in the oven, then put olive oil in it before putting the bird in it, breast side up first - it should sizzle. Roast for 30 mins. Then flip the bird and roast for another 20 mins. Then flip back to breast side up for another 5-10 mins until it reaches at least 165F)

Just Laios and Kabru enjoying Glühwein during Christmas time. Kabru was not aware of warm alcohol making you drunk faster.

Queer as Folk – 4.11: Gay or Straight? That's the Question.

[ID: A digitally illustrated page of drawings of Laios Touden from Dungeon Meshi. Most of the drawings are sketches, except the one in the bottom right, which is a fully coloured drawing of Laios eating the treasure bug sandwich. There are three sketches of Laios. In the top left, Laios is in profile, facing to the left and slightly down. In the top right he is smiling with vegetables tucked into his armour. In the bottom left he is facing forwards and has his eyes closed, looking resigned. Around these sketches are several drawings of various monster parts used for food. End description.]

Laois! I like him :D

it’s interesting how in the s3 script it’s stated that dean sees himself as sam’s father, and then also he punishes him in s4-5 and sam eats it up because he’s desperate for dean’s trust and yet people believe there’s no power imbalance between them, or that sam holds control over dean

I watched a weed usurp the garden And it poisoned the rest of the crops It would take days of fighting stubborn roots To tear the whole damn thing out So I will leave it where it's standing And instead I will find me a match I'll turn it all to kindling I'll burn it all down to ash

i'm so so so delighted to show off this commission i got from @lomakes of my darling daughter! thank you so much for taking my nonsense musings on design modifications and bringing her to life in my hands

Me: I don't like when shows queerbait me.

Other Fans: Well then just watch other shows, dummy!!!!

Me: 👍👍👍 wow what a tidy way to dismiss and invalidate a legitimate reaction to homophobic story tropes! 👍👍👍

The "just leave then" response to people wanting more inclusivity from the stories they love is not just emotionally invalidating - it is also one of the things that keeps storytellers from feeling that they need to improve in the future by making fans feel stupid for demanding better representation in the first place.

This kind of response doesn't just make you sound like a conservative (since this is a VERY popular response that conservatives have when confronted with leftist media criticism), it also fundamentally ignores the fact that there may not BE an equivalent story with good rep to go to after leaving the queerbait-y one behind.

Delicious in Dungeon is special and unique; that's why I genuinely love it. It is that love that makes me want it to do better.

When I see that Shuro is allowed to openly express romantic love for Falin, but Marcille/Falin is relegated to mere implication, it makes me really sad. It may not be a romance manga, but there ARE straight couples, and hetero desire IS on display - which makes the lack of open queerness all the more noticeable.

So when people say "just go watch something else" in response to my genuine sadness and irritation that a beloved story is excluding people like me..... Are you telling me there's a nearly identical queer show - with a similarly active fandom - all about found family learning to cook beautiful foods in a dungeon? Is my favorite-guy-ever Senshi going to be there? Is there actually a place for me to go to??

OR is there only one Delicious in Dungeon, and that's what makes it great?

I think actually folks who respond this way just want me to leave, and they don't really care where I go, so long as their favorite thing doesn't have to stand up to criticism.

Because I don't want lesbian media elsewhere. I want it here, with my friend Marcille. Here, where the seeds of queer romance were purposely planted to hook my attention. What's so wrong with being disappointed if those seeds never grow to bear fruit??

We can like good art and still demand it does better. And we can validate people who are sad it isn't doing better without getting defensive. Critical analysis is healthy and important. It's how good and bad stories are fully understood, and it's how better stories get made.

And while I will try to enjoy the plentiful delicious crumbs I am being served (since it is more than most shows give me), just because I CAN squish a bunch of crumbs together into the approximate shape of a muffin, that doesn't mean I've been served a meal.

More on this topic because I love a good analogy

What do you mean? How do you know Spike? What do you mean, 'how?' He was the guy that, uhm - oh, what's the word? Sired. Yeah, he was the guy that sired me.

Fried Soft Sausage

This street food vendor is popular among young adults. I’m also a young adult so I came to try it out. The sausage is handmade. Taste soft on the inside with crispy texture on the skin. More like a soft corn dog with spicy and pepper powder. Very authentic and fresh. From Prince Street at Flushing

Jumping around from step to step on the Laios cosplay, today I put some time into his gambeson! A gambeson is a padded doublet that goes underneath armor and protects the wearer, or can serve as light protection on its own.

Laios wears this gambeson in some manga panels (I don't actually know the context, I'm functionally anime-only) and it appears to be the same length as his chainmail shirt, so I'm going to make it to go under his mail. The most intriguing part from a costuming perspective is that diagonal texture!

There are a couple of ways I can achieve this. The easiest would be to use something like a herringbone twill, that has a diagonal-looking weave in the fabric when it's cut on the straight grain. But that won't read well from a small distance; it'll look solid-colored once you're a few feet away.

Which brings me to poking at my fabric stash, where I've kept a big ol piece of cotton corduroy. Corduroy has a distinct texture that reads very well at a distance, and this one in particular has some variegated stripes that help that texture stand out even more. Rather than make a simple-shaped garment out of straight-cut fabric, I'm going to get biased.

I divided up my simple shapes into panels and cut each panel on the bias, planning them carefully so that the final garment is symmetrical. When it's assembled, it should have that striking texture variation!

The next step will be to cut out an interlining layer on the straight grain, and fuse each of these biased pieces to that piece, which will hopefully give me the right drape. Rather than add more lining on top of that, I'll make a bias tape from some darker corduroy and use that to finish the hems.

man, its so easy to forget with his goofy design and name and motivation, i keep being startled when eggman commits horrific atrocities in several different canons and im like “oh yeah he actually wants sonic dead like for real, he isnt really the bowser-type where he actually cares deep down, he wants that hedgehog dead”
