AFG’s dragon age halloween part three: merrill’s blood soup 🩸🍲🔪

[incorrectly-quoted-queers]

Exposing another queer person hobby of mine, I love to cook! 

For work I just tried to make copycat (and slightly fancier) Honey Crepes from Legend of Zelda. Recipe and directions included (and very first-time-crepe friendly lol) 

EDIT: One of these days I’ll figure out why the link is mean to me and shows the image when I create the post but won’t show it when I publish. But today is not that day. Today I just cry a lil.

First Request: A Tommyinnit fictive in my own system requested some easy recipes to help remind him of home, and is vegetarian. Of course I found some recipes for him, but wanted to share with everyone else too!

Welcome to my blog. I will be doing many things here, but today I'm going to be reposting some important things. One purpose of my blog is to store recipes and ideas for home cooking.

Thanks to @skquill for inspiring me to make another video game inspired food. Today's special is... Manana's battle soup! I took a crack at this and basically combined two soup recipes of mine into one, those being a hearty meat and veggie soup with a cream of soup recipe to create this one. The result is a very savory and filling meal that you can pair with rice or toasted bread on the side. So let's begin!

Ingredients:

1/2 pound of ground beef ( This was inspired by the ingredient bunnit meat from the game, though personally you can omit from recipe if you want a meat free soup OR for higher quality add braised beef, cut into chunks and simmer for 25-30 minutes in the pot during the step where we combine the flour and broth together before adding the veggies in)

4 large potatoes peeled and cubed

½ tsp salt

3 teaspoons dried basil

2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning

5 Tbsp unsalted butter

1/2 med onion finely chopped

2 garlic cloves minced

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 1/2 cups whole milk

2 1/2 cups chicken broth

1 cup mild or sharp cheddar cheese shredded

3/4 cup sour cream

¼ tsp ground black pepper

3 celery ribs chopped

1 daikon sliced (used for the glitter radish)

3 carrots sliced (used for the comet carrot)

1/2 cup of mushrooms

Optional ingredients: 2 tbsp of balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp of brown sugar, a pinch of salt and pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a large skillet, cook beef and 1/4 of onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain excess grease. Bring back the meat to the pan to season with a pinch of salt, pepper and add in the listed Italian seasoning, dried parsley, onion powder and basil for taste. Set aside.

OPTIONAL STEP FOR PRESENTATION PURPOSES: chop mushroom heads and slice carrots long ways, cook in a frying pan with 1 tsb. of butter and a pinch of salt. Leave on frying pan for 6 minutes untouched, in the meantime prepare vinegarette by combining balsamic vinegar, pepper, and brown sugar, stir and set aside. Go back to the veggies, stir to make sure they're an orange/brown color, turn stove to low and slowly add vinegar mixture on top. Turn off heat completely after 30 seconds more of stirring. These veggies will be nicely glazed and perfect for your toppers. If you do not wish to do this, skip this step and add mushrooms and carrots at the same time you would the celery and potato to the stew.

Next, Peel and cube the potatoes into small pieces. Add the potatoes into a pot and cover with water. Season with salt and cook for about 10 minutes or until potatoes can be pierced through easily. Drain and set aside. (Similarly, for the daikon do the same, but chop it into the star shape recognized on the top of the soup in game before boiling. It will be used as the topper. IF you do not have daikon in your local store, slice one of the potatoes into star shapes instead and boil accordingly and chop the rest to add to the soup).

Into a pot, add butter and chopped onions and sauté until onions are tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Whisk in flour until incorporated. Add in the milk and chicken broth and bring to a soft boil. Add the potatoes and chopped celery (if you skipped the balsamic vinegar step also add in the carrots and Mushroom now), add in the cooked ground beef. Give it 10 minutes on medium heat to simmer and taste, if need be, season the soup with more salt and pepper. Mix in the sour cream and shredded cheese next. Bring the soup to a boil and remove from heat once a creamy consistency is achieved.

Serve into serving bowls, top with daikon stars and (if you did it) balsamic glazed mushroom and carrots. ENJOY!

Optional: serve with green onion on top for extra flavor!

 Rambleberry Juice Punch

 Ingredients:

- 1 cup raspberry juice - 1 cup blueberry juice - 1 cup blackberry juice - 1 cup cranberry juice - 1 cup orange juice - 1/2 cup lemon juice - 2 cups pineapple juice - 1 liter of sparkling water or club soda - 1/4 cup honey or simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste) - Fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries) for garnish - Sliced citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, limes) for garnish - Ice cubes

 Instructions:

1. Mix the Juices: In a large punch bowl, combine the raspberry juice, blueberry juice, blackberry juice, cranberry juice, orange juice, lemon juice, and pineapple juice. Stir well to ensure all the juices are thoroughly mixed.

2. Sweeten (Optional): If you prefer a sweeter punch, add honey or simple syrup to the juice mixture. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste, stirring until the sweetener is completely dissolved.

3. Chill: Cover the punch bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour, or until thoroughly chilled. This allows the flavors to meld together.

4. Add Sparkling Water: Just before serving, add the sparkling water or club soda to the punch bowl. Stir gently to combine.

5. Prepare Garnishes: Add fresh berries and sliced citrus fruits to the punch for a beautiful and flavorful garnish.

6. Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Rambleberry Juice Punch over the ice. Add additional fruit garnishes to each glass if desired.

Tips: - Customization: Feel free to adjust the types of juices based on availability or preference. You can also experiment with other fruit juices like pomegranate or cherry. - Alcoholic Version: For an adult twist, add a splash of vodka, rum, or sparkling wine. - Herbal Infusion: Add a few sprigs of fresh mint or basil for an herbal note.

Enjoy your refreshing Rambleberry Juice Punch!

Optional: Gummy moon-shaped candies for garnish

Instructions:

In a punch bowl or large pitcher, mix blue fruit punch with lemon-lime soda. You can adjust the ratio based on your taste preferences.

Add scoops of lemon sorbet or vanilla ice cream to the punch mixture. This creates a frothy, moon-like texture.

I was thinking.

At first read, I thought Harding's apple pasta dish sounded uniquely gross, but then I remembered.

I'm Hungarian.

I'm no stranger to sweet pasta, especially not as a main dish; I grew up eating pasta with semolina and jam. I used to regularly have just straight up walnut- or poppy seed spaghetti. We fucking put sugar, black pepper, and steamed cabbage on pasta without batting an eye. We truly do not give a fuck. Pasta to us isn't even a carb, it's a vehicle.

I bet I could make an Apple Cheesy Butter Pasta that is actually good, and it would not even take as much finessing as I had initially thought.

Like, most I'd actually need to do to make it palatable is probably just swapping the semi-hard cheese I was envisioning to like a cottage cheese, and make the "apple" bit kind of an oldschool Hungarian granny-style apple pie filling with sugared cinnamon and grated tart apples.

Maybe I'd add a bit of goat cheese, or a bit of fresh mozz or some burrata to the top for the bubbly-cheesy-melty factor that Lace mentions, but other than that, if I disregard my first "ew, savory noodles swimming in too much store-bought applesauce with sharp cheddar on top" impression, it's not even that quirky a dish.

One day I want to make a Kinoko Star Lounge cook book. 🧑‍🍳📙

I've referenced before how I have a big google document to keep track of every media I've ever seen in my entire life (just for reference because I like to track everything possible lol… I am the Data Collector), but recently as I was updating it, I thought of actually evaluating them to find out random percentages (like for example, out of Total Shows Watched, what percentage did I finish vs. stop watching, what percentage did I like or dislike, etc.)...

Evaluating these things is made easier by the fact that I already place everything on each subsection of the list into 6 broad ranking categories, so I don't have to go back and guess to figure out how I feel about them or anything. The categories are: Ranking 5 - overall best* (despite some criticisms of course because I'm too much of an Analyzer to ever find anything Perfect lol) Ranking 4 - more positive than neutral, but not good enough to be 5 Ranking 3 - either the good + bad negate each other, OR it's just not memorable/interesting in any way enough to be ranked higher or lower (this is the Default category ALL things are placed in if no other rank applies) Ranking 2 - maybe a few redeemable elements but largely more negatives than positives Ranking 1 - So bad that it circles around to being fascinating to observe in some way (not necessarily Funny, or Good, but just interesting somehow) Ranking 0 - Bad in a genuinely frustrating or obnoxious manner

*("best" primarily defined here as most interesting, rather than most good in a technical sense, or some other measure. I tend to value more highly whether there's something novel or thoughtful about the worldbuilding, tone, writing, base premise, etc - than about whether it's actually executed perfectly.)

And here's the amount of shows that have so far been placed into each category -

TV shows ~ Rank 5 (highest) - 20 shows ~ Rank 4 (mid-high) - 28 shows ~ Rank 3 (neutral/default/meh) - 114 shows ~ Rank 2 (mid low) -33 shows ~ Rank 1 (low low but intriguingly so) - 14 shows ~ Rank 0 (iredeemably low) - 2 shows

This would make for a total of 211 TV shows overall. However, there are 57 shows within these list marked as "didn't finish" (typically meaning I quit on the very first or second episode - but log them still to keep a record that I at least had a brief view of them).

So my total of genuinely fully watched shows would be more 154. 211 Total, but a More Accurate Total of 154.

Counting them all and using the Total Number Of The List (211) -- that means roughly 9.5% of all total shows I have ever watched (or at least attempted to watch) have been Mostly Good, 13% have been Moderately Okay, 54% have been either entirely Forgettable or some mix of good + bad that lands them right in the Neutral Middle, 15.6% have been Mostly Bad, 6.6% have been Bad (but in an interesting way), and 0.9% have been Terribly Bad.

Additionally, I didn't even get past the first two episodes of about 27% of the total.

Sooo, discounting ones I didn't finish, my total TV shows ever watched in my life would be about 154 (maybe give or take a few, assuming I might have forgotten some from very long ago).

But instead of entire life, let's just say this is the total for 'About 20 Years' (so, not counting very early childhood when I likely wouldn't remember things I saw/have no detailed recollection of them (like for example, I'm sure at some point when I was like 4yrs old I must have seen an episode of Spongebob or something, but I have zero distinct memories of it, can't quote anything of it, and barely recall the premise - so I don't count it on the list, etc.)).

In that case, 154 divided by 20 would be roughly 7.7 shows a year.

Which is actually surprisingly low considering that I often have stuff on in the background for hours whilst I make sculptures and do costumes and stuff (maybe I should have also marked some distinction between 'things I fully paid attention to' and 'things I kind of half listened to whilst sculpting', but that would further split the categories too much probably lol), but I guess a lot of that is youtube videos or random documentaries, so .. eh.. maybe I get it being lower.

Now, doing the same thing for movies-

Movies ~ Rank 5 (highest) - 4 movies (3.4% of total) ~ Rank 4 (mid-high) - 12 movies (10.3% of total) ~ Rank 3 (neutral/default/meh) - 91 movies (78.4% of total) ~ Rank 2 (mid low) - 8 movies (6.8% of total) ~ Rank 1 (low but interesting) - 1 movie (0.8% of total) ~ Rank 0 (irredeemably low) - none in this category (0%)

That makes 116 for a Total (Actually Remembered) Movies Watched In Lifetime (Or At Least In 20 Years).

116 divided by 20 is roughly 5 or 6 movies a year (I feel this has probably been skewed though by adding everything since like elementary school onwards, as I remember a lot more movies from child/teen years.. Whereas, the past 3 years I feel like I've barely seen maybe even 5 movies?? lol). I also have "Didn't Finish" marked on 18 of them. Which means I quit halfway through about 15% of the total movies.

So, a for broader summary stuff..

I seem to be less forgiving to movies than tv shows, by far. Which makes sense to me, I guess, because I love elaboration and details, so "short form" things that only last an hour or two are often lost on me a bit. My biggest complaint with movies is indeed usually walking away just wishing there had been more exposition, more scenes where characters are doing nothing, more "mindless bantering" conversations, more Quiet Downtime and Lore Elaboration and so on lol, so... of course most 1-2hr films end up feeling a bit Not Enough To Draw My Interest/Nothingy to me.

If you count 5 and 4 as "like" and rankings 2 to 0 as "dislike", then for TV shows I at least somewhat liked 48 of them, and at least somewhat disliked 47 of them.. So it's almost exactly the same lol. I'm just about equally as likely to find something bad as I am to find something redeeming about it. But overall, the largest chance is that I just won't really care much for it at all and it will be tossed into the 'neutral' pile, forgotten forever. Movies have a bit better of a balance, "liking" 16 of them, and "disliking" only 9 of them. So I'm slightly more likely to enjoy a movie than to find it annoying - though still VASTLY more likely to just not find it anything in particular, possibly not even finishing it.

ANYWAY.. this is vague and literally pointless, but like I said, I just really find information fun. Like my document where I've rated every apple flavor I've ever tried (like 40 of them now?), or reviewed every oreo flavor (32?), or ranking data from my entire 10 years of Trying To Make Friends process (out of 100 people, roughly 8% chance of a moderate compatibility, 3% chance of high), or etc. etc.. I love to have random pointless things to analyze I suppose lol.

I doubt anyone tracks things in their life in this same exact way, but I'd be interested in hearing any at least somewhat similar data !!! (like, how many TV shows you watch a year on average, and what percentage of those you like vs. dislike (if you keep track of that sort of thing), etc.)). I guess it might be easier with movies, since I think some people use those websites where you curate a list of movies you've seen and you can rate them or something, so maybe the numbers are already available on those places. :0
