hi jude due to recent allergy things im having to change up my diet a lot. do you have any vegan/vegetarian recipe suggestions? ty💕
Hi! I’m sorry to hear about your recent allergies, that’s really tough.
My biggest advice when starting cooking vegan or vegetarian is to learn how to season correctly to bring out savory notes. Of course, standard spices as well but things like liquid smoke, nutritional yeast, not-chicken or not-beef (literally what they are called) buillon, msg and umami/shitake mushroom flavoring are used so frequently in my cooking you don’t even know. Other staples to invest in are shelf stable silken tofu (which can be eaten raw, cooked in a variety of soups and dishes, mashed into a meat subsitute and used to make fake meatballs or veggie burgers etc.., or blended into pasta sauce to make it creamy), coconut milk (good for pasta sauce, curry, desserts, anything you need to make creamy), miso and tahini (can enhance vegetables, good for boosting flavors) and canned beans (i love butter beans and cannalini beans, but any work of course. just a really solid protein option that’s easy enough to make taste really good.)
The goal with this type of cooking is to always consider your protein source first. I’m vegetarian, so I often also base things around eggs or cheese- but there are so many vegan protein source options out there. seitan, tempeh (my personal fave lol) and tofu are like your trilogy that most things are based out of. and of course there are things like beans and peanut butter that can help you get your protein up as well.
Okay i’m gonna link some videos i like now lol. I get a lot of recipes from tiktok because. idk i do. these are also kiiiinda fancy
beans alla vodka (vegetarian)
peach and burratta salad (vegetarian)
miso tahini eggplant (vegan)
miso braised cabbage (vegan)
hot honey brown butter brussel sprouts (vegetarian)
tofu scramble (vegan)
tempeh marinade (vegan)

星洲炒米粉 / Xing zhou chao mei fun (Singapore noodles)
This dish fries steamed noodles and assorted vegetables in a mildly spicy curry paste, made from a bespoke curry powder and a blend of fresh aromatics. The result is a crispy, chewy, complex, warming stir-fry with notes of turmeric, liquorice root, and cinnamon.
Though this dish is referred to as "Singapore noodles," vermicelli dishes common in Singapore do not include curry powder! These "Singapore" noodles in fact originated in Hong Kong 茶餐廳 (cha chaan teng; Western-influenced cafés), and gained popularity between the 1940s and 60s. They combine British influence (in the form of curry powder) with the rice noodles common in Chinese, Malay, and Indian cooking; the reference to Singapore is perhaps a nod to the cosmopolitan, "exotic" atmosphere of these cafés.
This is a vegan version of a dish that often also includes shrimp, char siu, or chicken. Instructions for a vegan version of the typical sliced fried egg topping are included.
Recipe under the cut!
Patreon | Tip jar
Serves 3-4.
Ingredients:
For the dish:
200g vermicelli rice noodles (bee hoon / mi fen; 米粉)
4 green onions, greens and whites separated
1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 medium (50g) julienned red mild chili (such as aji dulce), or 1/4 medium red bell pepper
1 medium (50g) julienned green mild chili, or 1/4 medium green bell pepper
1 bunch yellow chives
Small handful bean sprouts
3-inch piece (40g) carrot, julienned
1 tsp table salt, or to taste
Large pinch MSG (optional)
Rice vermicelli (also known as bee hoon / bihun, mee hoon / mihun, or mi fen) are long, fine rice noodles. They should not be confused with semolina vermicelli. They may be purchased at an east or southeast Asian grocery store; Chinese, Vietnamese, or Thai rice vermicelli will all work. I used Hai Ca Vang rice vermicelli, which I like in this dish for how well they stand up to stir-frying, and the chewy bite they give to the final dish.
Yellow chives are simply chives that have less color because they are grown out of the sun. They may be found in a Chinese grocery store; if you can't get your hands on any, omit them or substitute more bean sprouts.
For the curry paste:
4 tsp curry powder Singapura, or to taste
3 cloves garlic
4 Thai shallots, or 1 Western shallot
1-inch chunk (10g) ginger
1/4 medium yellow onion
White of 1 stalk lemongrass (optional)
1 bay leaf (optional)
Some versions of Singapore noodles are flavored entirely with curry powder, or (if a spicier curry powder is being used) with a mix of curry powder and turmeric; home cooks tend to include less curry powder or paste than restaurants do. You could decrease the amount of curry powder down to about a teaspoon for a home cook version of this dish. If you aren't making your own, Singapore curry powder (咖哩粉) can be purchased online from specialty spice retailers, or from a Hong Kongese brand such as Koon Yick Wah Kee; you could also substitute another mild, sweet curry powder, such as Japanese curry powder (S&B is a popular brand).
You could skip prepping the aromatics as well by purchasing a jar of ready-made Chinese curry paste (咖哩醬) from a brand such as Koon Yick Wah Kee (whose blend consists of curry powder hydrated with white vinegar and soybean oil); Malaysian curry paste would be a good substitute. Some recipes make a quick homemade curry paste by combining curry powder with salt (1 tsp), sugar (1 tsp), oyster sauce (1 Tbsp), water (2 Tbsp), and sometimes chili sauce, and add this sauce to the noodles as they are fried. I prefer versions of the dish that add fresh aromatics, though—I think they round out the curry powder by providing a flavorful base for it. You can experiment until you get the flavor and texture you prefer.
For the egg:
1/4 cup (60mL) coconut milk, or water
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 - 1/3 tsp kala namak (black salt)
1/4 tsp ground white pepper (optional)
1/2 tsp Liaojiu (Chinese cooking wine)
Liaojiu will likely be labelled "Shaoxing wine" in English. For an alcohol-free version, use ume plum vinegar or apple cider vinegar. The wine is used to flavor and cut the 'egginess' of the eggs.
This recipe usually calls for eggs, liaojiu, and salt. The turmeric and white pepper add flavor and color; the kala namak provides an eggy taste.
Instructions:
1. Prepare the aromatics. Peel and chop the garlic; mince the onion and shallots; scrub and mince the ginger (there's no need to peel it). Divide the whites of the green onions from the greens, and mince the whites.
Pull away any tough outer leaves of lemongrass. Separate the yellow / white section from the green, and cut off the root end. Reserve the green to flavor soup stocks. Thinly slice the white of the lemongrass widthwise, then pass the knife through for another few minutes to mince very thoroughly.
For a "saucier" noodle dish, pulverize the aromatics in a mortar and pestle or a blender rather than mincing them.
2. Prepare the vegetables. Cut peppers into a thin julienne; julienne the carrots; thinly slice the onion. Cut the greens of green onions, bean sprouts, and chives into 1 1/2 or 2” pieces.
3. Cook the noodles. Soak noodles in just-boiled water for about 90 seconds, or until they break when pinched firmly. Depending on the thickness of your noodles, they may need as much as 2-3 minutes.
Drain the noodles, but don’t rinse them. Spread them out on a baking sheet and cover to allow to steam for 10 minutes. With oiled hands, gently pull apart and untangle the noodles. Cut them in a few places with kitchen scissors to make stir-frying easier.
4. Cook the egg garnish. Whisk all ingredients for the egg together in a small bowl. Heat a wok over medium heat for several minutes, then add in a couple teaspoons of oil and swirl to coat the surface of the wok. Pour ‘egg’ into the bottom of the wok, then lower heat to low and allow to cook until darkened and solidified on top. Flip and cook the other side on medium-high until browned in places. Remove from wok and thinly slice.
5. Cook the vegetables. Heat wok on high for several minutes. Add in a couple teaspoons of oil and swirl to coat. Fry sliced onions, agitating often, for about 30 seconds; add carrots and fry another 30 seconds. Add peppers and cook for another 20-30 seconds. Remove from wok.
Cook chives or bean sprouts for 30 seconds to a minute, until slightly wilted, and remove.
6. Make the curry paste. Add another couple teaspoons of oil to the wok. Fry the aromatics (whether minced or pulverized) and bay leaf, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Lower heat to low, then add the curry powder and stir. Immediately add another couple teaspoons of oil, or enough to create a bit of sauce (the amount will vary based on how much curry powder you've added).
If you're using pre-made curry paste, just fry it for 30 seconds or a minute until fragrant. If you're using a mix of vegetarian oyster sauce, water, salt, and sugar, skip this step.
7. Fry the noodles. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the noodles and stir to coat evenly. Allow noodles to sit for a minute or two, then flip with chopsticks or tongs and allow to fry again. This will help the noodles to fry and brown.
Do this a few times until noodles are evenly toasted, 4-5 minutes. Add salt and MSG (or oyster sauce mixture) and stir to coat. Add in vegetables, egg, and green onions and cook for another minute until green onions are wilted.

The first thing I'm actually cooking since I got sick before Christmas. At least the first thing more complicated than "concoct congee out of leftover rice with a few vegetables thrown in for good luck", "boil some eggs ", or "quick oven pseudo-pizza using ready-made flatbreads and sauce from a jar".
This is likely to be interesting, since I still can't smell or taste worth a damn. But, I felt like I needed something warm and comforting with a few actual nutrients, and I can almost kinda-sorta smell the onion and vaguely curry spices now. They at least smell like something, and not offputting in any way. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Still not expecting a taste explosion, but hopefully it will be acceptable. Because this is looking like a couple of days' worth of soup.
A couple of items to use up: Some leftover Brussels sprouts and carrots that Mr. C made (part used in that rice porridge already), which I am planning to quickly cut up a little and supplement with whatever looks decent from the freezer. Plus some of the jarred pasta sauce I had open in the fridge, for a tomato component. Mostly tasting a little salt, tartness, and chili heat off that right now, so why not.
Probably add some lemon juice at the end too, since I can sorta taste sour right now. Any other seasonings aren't going to clash if I can't taste or smell 'em, and I will most likely be the only one eating this particular slop.

Here to add some hopefully helpful tips regarding the plant-eating here, and hopefully without offending anyone:
• if you live in North America, your day-to-day diet is very likely to have a lot of processed foods and sugar, as in, much of the food one can buy will have some form of sugar and flavour enhancers etc already added into it (not only North America of course, but I know how EASY they make it there).
• Add to that the fact that fresh produce is relatively expensive and time-consuming to make a nice dish with, I really understand how unappealing it can be to eat plants.
• nonetheless, good idea to eat plants. It's hard to get used to non-sweet flavouring, and instead savour bitterness or sourness or certain textures is a whole deal, and in my experience if your gut biome isn't accustomed to eating them, it'll take time to adjust and the adjustment might be physically uncomfortable.
• I used to hate preparing vegetables to eat because the end result would be so unappealing. Someone in the comments mentioned 'overcooked veg', someone else 'mushy'. As long we associate eating plants with this kind of disappointment then it's so hard to get into the habit.
So a few tips from my personal experience over the 20 years I've been cooking:
• if you are working hard and don't have the time or energy to cook healthy for yourself, but you CAN find healthy take away, do it. Don't beat yourself up about the expense, or your executive dys/function. How marvellous, humans have been buying their food from vendors for thousands of years, I shall keep the tradition alive. (*no, not deep fried foods)
• if you're cooking food yourself: veg generally doesn't need a lot, and boiling generally is not what it needs. I have a microwave steamer for steaming, oven for roasting, pan or airfryer for grilling or frying.
• Soup makers are an INCREDIBLE tool for I-have-no-time-but-want-something-nice (chop up veg, add water, 17 min later hey presto soup).
• if it is green: the brighter the green, the better (don't overcook the zucchini, chop brussels sprouts in half so they'll soften more quickly but retain some crunch, spinach truly only needs a few minutes)
• many cuisines have wonderful methods and recipes for preparing veggies. Mexican cooking, various Indian cuisines, Indonesian, Korean, Middle-Eastern, Eritrean, Ethiopian, Japanese, Chinese, etc.
• Italian and French too, though for IT it can be a faff to find delicious ingredients for the very simple seasonal dishes, and for FR it can be a faff full stop.
• Salt, pepper, olive oil, sesame oil, balsamico / different vinegars, pickles, soy sauce, tahini, oyster sauce, harissa, kochukaru, miso, shiokoji etc. Your veggies will taste best when combining with herbs, spices, other ingredients that have interesting flavour.
• Onion and garlic! Celery! Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme! Chives, garlic stems. And dill, and tarragon, and basil, and cilantro/coriander (unless you have the soap gene), and lemon grass, curry, nutmeg, bay leaves, and ginger, and turmeric, and galangal/ laos, and lime, and lemon-- this is just what's available locally near me, depending on what shop you go to you may be blessed with other herbs. I've taken to googling recipes based on interesting looking ingredients.
• fermented things like miso and kimchi (and kombucha and cheese) can be good for the gut and will make veggies SO good, but take notice of how your bod reacts. I personally go through periods of deep craving and then periods of NO. If it upsets the tum, consider incremental increase or hold off.
• there's much to be found online. Start wherever. Ottolenghi's recipes are fun: unexpected flavours and textures, very pretty to look at, great combinations with dairy and/or meat but many stand-alone veg recipes https://ottolenghi.co.uk/recipes
• please note there's a difference between eating a vegetarian diet and eating vegetables. Plastic is also vegan, and you can eat strictly vegetarian and still get scurvy.
• find a parent or grandparent (possibly not your own) whose cooking you like and whose shoulder you might peer over and whom you might ask questions of. I never learned more than from my ex-boyfriend's parents who, with Creole and South-Asian backgrounds, cooked any and every veg with so much knowledge and talent and good taste that it was a joy to eat with them every time.
(feel free to DM me with food questions, I don't know everything but I can help with the things I do know.)
A lot of younger people have no idea what aging actually looks and feels like, and the reasons behind it. That ignorance is so dangerous. If you don’t want to “be old,” you aren’t talking about a number of years. I have patients in their late 80s who could still handily beat me in a race—one couple still runs marathons together, in their late 80s—and I lost someone who was in her early 60s to COPD last year. What you want is not youth, it is health.
If you want to still be able to enjoy doing things in your 60s and 70s and 80s and even 90s, what you want to do, right now, is quit smoking, get some activity on a regular basis (a couple of walks a week is WAY better for you than nothing; increasing from 1 hour a day of cardio to 1.5 will buy you very little), and eat some plants. That’s it. No magic to it. No secret weird tricks. Don’t poison yourself, move around so your body doesn’t forget how, and eat plants.
If you have trouble moving around now because of mobility limitations, bad news: you still need to move around, not because it’s immoral not to, but because that’s still the best advice we have. I highly recommend looking up the Sit and Be Fit series; it is freely available and has exercises that can be done in a chair, which are suitable for people with limited mobility or poor balance. POTS sufferers, I’m looking at you.
If you have trouble eating plants because of dietary issues (they cause gas, etc.) or just because they’re bitter (super taster with texture issues here!), bad news. You still want to find a way to get some plants into your body on a regular basis. I know. It sucks. The only way I can do it is restaurants—they can make salads taste like food. I can also tolerate some bagged salads. On bad weeks, the OCD with contamination focus gets so bad I just can’t. However, canned beans always seem “safe,” and they taste a bit like candy, so they’re a good fallback.
If you smoke and you have tried quitting a million times and you’re just not ready to, bad news. You still need to quit. Your body needs you to try and keep trying. Your brain needs it, too. Damaging small blood vessels racks up cumulative damage over time that your body can start trying to reverse as soon as you quit. I know it’s insanely, absurdly addictive. You still need to.
You cannot rules lawyer your way past your body’s basic needs. It needs food, sleep, activity, and the absence of poison. Those are both small things and big asks. You cannot sustain a routine based on punishment, so don’t punish your body. Find ways to include these things that are enjoyable and rewarding instead. Experiment. There is no reason not to experiment—you don’t have to know instantly what’s going to work for you and what won’t, you just need to be willing to try things and make changes when things aren’t working for you.
You will still age. Your body will stop making collagen and elastin. Tissues you can see and tissues you can’t see will both sag. Cushioning tissues under your skin will get thinner. You’ll bruise more easily. Skin will tear more easily. Accumulated sun damage will start to show more and more. Joints will begin to show arthritis. Tendons and ligaments will get weaker and get injured more easily, as will muscles. Bones will lose mass and get easier to break. You’ll get tired more easily.
But you know what makes the difference between being dead, or as good as, in your 60s vs your 90s? Activity, plants, and quitting smoking. And don’t do meth. Saw a 58-year-old guy this week who is going to have a heart attack if he doesn’t quit whatever stimulant he’s on. I pretended to believe it was just the cigarettes, and maybe it is, but meth and cocaine will kill you quicker. Stop poisoning yourself.
Baby steps; take it one step at a time; you don’t need to have everything figured out right now. But you do need to be working on figuring things out.

Little Green Fairies
A short little crack fic following characters from my story That Time of the Month.
It's not smutty, but it is horny
CW: alcohol use, discussion of drug use
It was Monilaria’s turn to buy groceries, and it was delighted. Somehow, it had made a shit load of money on its last stream, and so decided to buy some weird shit at the stores, or at least shit it hadn’t known about before seeing, frantically scrolling on its phone to figure out how edible the thing would be, then deciding to try it anyway. Half a jackfruit wrapped in cellophane, a weird fractal cauliflower, some magic mushrooms, a jar of asafoetida, three different curry mixes, a bottle of absinthe, that one fancy vegan cheese, and then all their usual things for the week like soy milk and bread and brussels sprouts. It hoped Alice would know what to do with the jackfruit cuz that thing was gonna take up way too much counter space, expected Mia to be pouty about the cost of the fancy cheese but secretly delighted, but it was excited in particular for the absinthe, cuz it had heard all the stories about it but never tried it, and hoped it could share the fun new thing with Ruth, who would immediately know how to use the uncommon booze.
Lari was having an annoying time playing stuff tetris in the kitchen when Ruth came home. She had the rare opening shift at the bar, so it had decided to claim her rare free mid-afternoon and evening. Ruth greeted Lari with a peck on the cheek and poked through the ever-exciting (and newly-filled) drugs-and-snacks bowl, pulled out an apple and plopped on a chair in the kitchen. “Keg explode?” Lari asked, unable to not smell the overpowering aura of yeast coming from its girlfriend.
“Yeah, wanna guess which beer?” she said with a sigh.
Lari walked up to her, sniffed the air around her and tapped its chin. “Hmm… smells a little sweet, is it craft?”
“It was at the Ampersand” she replied, using the group’s tongue-in-cheek nickname for the fancier bar she worked at; Lari didn’t think Ampersand even had anything made in batches big enough to be from a micro-brewery, let alone anything so mainstream as Dogfish Head or DC Brau. So the beer was definitely craft, and it was gonna be something maybe pumpkin with the leaves starting to turn.
“Was it that one butternut ale Mia liked?”
“Acorn squash, but yeah. First try, you win a prize,” Ruth said, standing up to give Lari a kiss on the lips, pushing it up against the counter. She smelled of gourds and yeast and sweat, but it was a homey, familiar kind of smell. They kissed for a while, and Lari had to dizzily brace itself on the Formica by the time Ruth sat back down.
Around a bite of apple, Ruth asked, “so did you get anything fun at the market today?” Excited to show off its bounty, Lari scampered over to the counter and proudly displayed the giant fruit half like it was Rafiki at the top of Pride Rock. Ruth laughed and its bad vocalizations, and oo-ed and ah-ed appropriately at all the other fun things it bought. When Lari got to the new bottle, Ruth raised her eyebrows. “Looking to see some little green fairies, Lil’ Succulent?”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about, but the answer is probably yes.”
“They used to say that when you drank enough of that stuff, it made you see things, like little green fairies. Might’ve been the wormwood, might’ve been the 140 proof liquor they drank like wine. Either way, got plans for that bottle?”
“I was hoping you would have some ideas?” It proffered the bottle to her and she took it, looking over the dark glass and chewing on her apple.
“We could just drink it in the traditional way, with sugar and water? I never really cared for licorice, but it’s been a while since I’ve had the stuff, so maybe it’ll grow on me.” Of course Ruth knew what it tasted like, had opinions on it, and new random trivia about the drink’s history. It’s hard to surprise a geek like her.
Lari briefly wondered if fairies were real and absinthe let you see them — hey, werewolves are real, so who knows? — but decided to save that question for a few drinks in. “You wanna take your shoes off and we can relax? You’re mine for the evening, doll.”
“Can I shower first?” Ruth asked, “I still smell like a fermented squash.”
“One drink, then you can shower.” Lari was… particular about the girls’ musk, and even if she was yeastier than usual, it liked to have their scents on it. Ruth rolled her eyes, got up, and rummaged around the pantry. “Get two glasses, then. I’ll get the sugar and the water.”
A few minutes later, the two had assembled a janky knockoff of an absinthe ritual: two mismatched jars with sugar in a spoon suspended over each, a pyrex cup full of ice water, and a bottle of fancy French booze. “You do the honors,” it said, and Ruth peeled the foil off the bottle, pulled out the cork and took a whiff.
Her eyes got wide for a second, and she got a strange look on her face. “Better than you remember?” Lari asked, and she nodded. She shook her head vigorously as if to clear it, poured about an ounce in each glass, and then unreasonably slowly (almost as if to torture Lari), she poured the water over the spoons and dissolved the sugar. When the mixture was complete, they each took a jar and clinked them together before taking the first sip.
“Wow” Lari said. “That’s fuckin’ strong.”
“I’ll say,” Ruth replied, her eyes even wider than before, her pupils dilating.
“You okay, babe?” Lari asked, receiving only a dazed nod in return. They stood for a few more minutes, sipping their cloudy drinks. The queer taste of licorice was certainly there, but it was pleasant enough that Monilaria could say it enjoyed it. Ruth looked like she was having the time of her life.
“Hey you wanna go ride bikes?” Ruth asked all of a sudden.
“You usually don’t like riding after drinking?”
“Yeah, but like, I really wanna go ride bikes. Or, maybe we can go swimming?”
“I got no idea where we’d go swimming now, but sure Ruth, we can go for a ride. Are you feeling OK?”
“I feel amazing, Lil’ Succulent. I just gotta move.”
So they went down to the bike rack outside their apartment, got set up and went off. Ruth looked a little wobbly at first, but she recovered after a few blocks. Soon, she picked up speed and Lari had to work to catch up; Ruth was usually a really courteous biker, but she seemed more intent on having a good time than getting somewhere; swerving, cheering, going way faster than her partner. Lari had a hard enough time keeping track of her, that it didn’t realize where they were going until it saw the greenery. It also had no idea what Ruth intended until she got to a patch of grass, jumped off her still moving bike and just ran around for a bit. What the shit was happening? It texted the family chat to let the other two know they had gone to Rock Creek Park, and then tried to find Ruth, who had collapsed, panting in the grass. Fucking wild, what the shit was in that drink?
“Yo Ruth, what is going on?”
“I have no idea, but this is amazing, Lari. Why don’t we drink that stuff more often?”
“Maybe cuz it does this to you?” Lari squatted down over her and poked her cheek. “Maybe we should go home?”
“But we just got here! It’s so nice out! And you’re here! And you’re so nice! And preeettttyyyyyy,” she said, drawing out the last word.
“Girl, you had one shot, what's up?”
“I don't know, but I really like it.” Ruth rolled over on her stomach and looked up at Monilaria; her eyes were huge, her pupils alarmingly dilated. “Do you think this is how catnip feels to Reggie?”
Reginald, the family cat, fucking loves catnip. He gets playful and likes to bite and runs around like a maniac. Ruth seemed to have the playful running, thankfully without the biting. “Do you wanna go see Reggie?” it tried coaxing her home.
She rolled over again. “Nah, I think I like the grass right now. It feels nice on my skin.” She sat up and started to take off her shirt, presumably to get more grass on her skin. Lari reached out to grab the hem of her shirt and try to pull it down, and Ruth flopped back and groaned. She was definitely acting weird, but it wasn't just the strong liquor. A few minutes passed, with Ruth just wiggling on the ground and giggling, then she turned to Lari and asked “hey take off your pants.”
“What? Ruth, we're in the middle of the park.”
“I know, but I really wanna go down on you.”
“Great, but we're in the park.”
“You keep saying that,” she whined.
“Let's go home and maybe we can drink some water and -”
“And another drink?” Ruth cut it off, getting visibly excited at the prospect of more absinthe.
“Sure, another drink.” Whether they were going to drink more absinthe was debatable, but it was gonna say what it had to in order to get Ruth home safe. What the hell was Monilaria doing being the responsible one? “Do you think you can ride or do you want to walk the bikes back?”
“I forgot we had our bikes! Yeah, let’s go for a ride!” She popped up to her feet and raced over to where they left their bikes, Lari chasing after her. It struggled with her a bit to get her helmet on; she rode around in a circle while Lari got itself situated, and then took off once it got its balance, again struggling to catch up. They didn’t have any trouble getting home, but when it was locking up the bikes, a lady walked past with a tiny doglike rat, and Ruth just had to get on its level. Thankfully there was no ass-sniffing, but they both got weird looks from the dog’s human. Eventually, they got inside their apartment and Ruth flopped on the carpet.
“So how ya doing? Enjoying your floor time?”
“Yeaaaahhhhh,” came her dreamy reply.
“Is there anything you need, Ruthy?”
“Uhhhhhhhhh, I don’t know”
“Let me know if you figure it out,” Monilaria called from the kitchen. It was filling the electric kettle, then both of their water bottles. There was some muffled human grunting and loud feline meowing coming from the living room, so Lari went to check on Ruth after tightening the bottle lids.
The scene it came to was upsettingly predictable: Ruth was on all fours, batting at the cat, ass shoved up in the air.
Her bare ass.
Ruth had at some point in the last five minutes taken off all of her clothes.
“How’s it going, babe?”
“Great! Reggie’s being silly!”
“He’s not the only one. Why are you naked?”
“Needed m’ pants off.” It was as good an explanation as any, it thought.
“You should drink this,” it said, handing her the enormous steel canister. She sat up on her knees and held the bottle in both hands while she sucked at the straw, looking up at Monilaria. It could see gentle wagging of her hips, but it didn’t look like she was trying to be sexy, just that… just that she was wagging an absent tail. Something about that drink was affecting her wolf.
“Hey Ruth, what did you say was special about absinthe?”
She spent another minute sucking down the water, then said “wormwood, kinda makes you see things.”
“Anything else? Can you tell me what it’s made from?”
“Brandy and wormwood and anise and spices. Lot of anise. Why it looks so cloudy.” In between every sentence, she sucked up more water.
“OK, babe, finish your water and you can keep playing with Reggie.” She complied, handed back the bottle to Lari, and went back to harassing the cat. Lari went back into the kitchen and started to look up what could be going on with its wolfgirlfriend.
First thing she found was that wormwood was an antiparasitic. Good to know, but not relevant. It didn’t need to look up “don’t give liquor to dogs you fuck,” so it looked up the ingredients in absinthe and went down the list one by one.
It figured it out on the first try: anise.
It is like catnip for dogs. Ruth could definitely say she knew how Reggie feels on the stuff.
It didn’t have any luck on videos, but the descriptions match her reaction pretty damn close: very active, hyper even, playful, strongly motivated by the scent of more anise.
Ruth was high as balls on fuckin’ dognip. That girl will never live it down.

Learn the unique health benefits of red, black, and white rice
Rice has been a staple food for centuries, nourishing populations around the world with its versatility and nutritional benefits. While white rice is the most commonly consumed, red and black rice are fast gaining attention for their impressive health benefits. These varieties of rice are not only different in appearance but also offer unique nutritional profiles and health benefits. Let’s find out what makes each variety special and how you can incorporate them into your diet for a healthy lifestyle.
Nutritional Profile of Red, Black, and White Rice
Each type of rice brings a unique set of nutrients:
Red Rice: Known for its red color, red rice is rich in anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant, and is rich in iron, zinc, and magnesium.
Black Rice: Often called “forbidden rice,” black rice is packed with antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, and has higher levels of fiber and protein than other rice varieties.
White Rice: Although often considered less nutritious, white rice is an excellent source of quick energy, especially when fortified with essential nutrients. A variant of white rice, parboiled rice, retains more nutrients through its unique processing method.
Health Benefits of Red Rice: A Storehouse of Nutrients
The benefits of red rice stand out due to its rich nutrient profile. Its high antioxidant content helps fight oxidative stress, reducing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. The fiber in red rice aids digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness, making it a great choice for weight management. In addition, its magnesium content improves bone health and muscle function.
Research has shown that red rice can lower bad cholesterol levels and improve heart health. Its iron-rich composition also makes it ideal for fighting anemia, especially for individuals who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet.
Black Rice: The Antioxidant-Rich Superfood
The benefits of black rice have earned it the title of a superfood. With more antioxidants than any other rice variety, it helps protect cells from damage, delay aging, and reduce inflammation. Studies suggest that the anthocyanins in black rice may also reduce the risk of developing diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity.
This variety is a rich source of fiber, which aids in better digestion and prevents constipation. Black rice is also gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivity. For those looking to increase protein intake, black rice offers a plant-based solution that pairs well with a variety of dishes.
White Rice: A Versatile Staple with Surprising Benefits
Although white rice has fewer nutrients than its colored counterparts, it remains an important part of diets around the world due to its versatility and energy-boosting properties. Parboiled rice is a type of processed white rice that retains more nutrients from the bran and sprouts during the boiling process, making it a healthier option.
White rice is easier to digest, making it a suitable choice for individuals recovering from illnesses or those with sensitive stomachs. Additionally, it serves as an excellent base for nutrient-rich meals when paired with vegetables, protein, and healthy fats.
How to incorporate these rice varieties into your diet
Including red, black, and white rice in your meals can add variety to your diet and boost nutrition:
Red rice: Use it in salads, soups, or as a side dish to add color and a nutty flavor.
Black rice: Its mildly sweet flavor makes it ideal as a base for desserts like puddings or fried dishes.
White rice/parboiled rice: Use it in traditional dishes like curries, fried rice, or pulao to give you instant energy.
Pro tip: Combine these varieties to create vibrant and nutrient-rich rice bowls that satisfy both taste and health.
Why Rice Manufacturers and Exporters Matter
The quality of the rice you eat depends largely on the source. Reliable rice manufacturers and exporters ensure that you get high-quality, contaminant-free products that retain their nutritional value. Many rice exporters now focus on providing rice from organic and sustainable sources to meet the growing demand for healthier options.
When buying rice, look for certified brands and reliable rice exporters to ensure the best quality for your family.
