Tumblr can I make ricotta cheese with lime juice instead of lemon juice? Google tells me they're similarly acidic, and you see I have this scheme prepared for tomorrow
I'm gonna turn on my bread machine and while it's thumping away I'm gonna use milk from a local dairy and some key lime juice to make ricotta and then later I'm gonna spread it on the toasted bread and drizzle some local orange blossom honey over it
because sometimes it's depressing living in Florida (politics)...but doesn't that just sound like the most lovely Florida dinner?

The Cheesemonger is dead. Spite is awash with the blood of certain visiting Europeans. The Game continues regardless. Red Sasha ran an ad campaign for soap. I'm scrounging slowly the resources needed to get the fuckin legal documents in the Bazaar I need to buy a ship. I'm seeing now why people buy that second candle. This stuff is time-consuming!

NGL, I really like the 'yeah you work at my lavish kinky sex parties, but our working relationship is totally normal, respectful and possibly even friendly' dynamic with Evander and those who provide services to said gatherings
Like sure, Yeshe and Coral and The Brewer and The Bouncer have certainly all seen some Very Interesting Things at these parties... but what happens in Evander's gardens, stays in Evander's gardens
...At the same time, I like to think of these characters absolutely talking smack about the canon characters from the sidelines like Statler and Waldorf 😂
Yeshe: "My goodness, I didn't know the good doctor had it in him."
Coral: "Well he sure does have it in him now!"
Both: "Dohohohohoho!"

(Cribbing this format for my Arcana self-insert from Yeshe @the-iron-orchid)
Name: Coral Alice McCarty
Pronouns: She/Her will have to do
Gender: Uh. Hm.
Age: Late-30s
Occupation: Cheesemonger by day, artist by night, dreams of little fishes
Nationality: A mess, just Vesuvian for sake of ease
Favorite Food: Fried Shrimp
Favorite Drink: Cucumber Melon Soda
Favorite Animal: MANY (but especially cats, sharks, marine isopods, birds, hagfish, octopus, horses, bees, snakes...)
Favorite Color: Green
Favorite Flower: Wysteria
Major Arcanum: Justice (how’s that neurodivesity workin’ for you, buddy.)
Minor Arcanum: Queen of Wands
Fun Facts:
Managed to avoid the plague, but suffered not one but two major medical crises during it. Survived ok, but feels real REAL weird about it.
Is reasonably artistically skilled, but struggles making a living at it due to just… not having any concentration for any one thing or another. Keeps at it for fun and occasional profit but without consistency. Jack of all trades, master of none, but still better than a master of one. Has done some real weird/cool commissions.
Would have liked a scientific career, but further education was a bit of a disaster and it’s too much to try again (mentally, emotionally, financially.)
Knows a lot about food, theater, art, architecture, animals, the ocean, and won’t shut up once going. Can come across opinionated or bossy but is usually just excited and eager to share.
Fell into chesemongering by chance, but enjoys it and keeps it up in lieu of many many other things that haven’t played out. It works, it’s fun, it’ll do. Makes a great shark coochie board.
Owns a storefront but doesn't manage or run it – focuses on buying and supplying and being the ‘face’ for large suppliers and buyers and deals with catering and party planning, but does step in to do anything else in a pinch. Didn’t found the business either – took over from previous owners by chance (just worked up the ladder,) which is why management is it’s own hired entity.
Parents are still around and live close to the border of the Catclaw Desert North of Vesuvia, near the ocean, but aren’t from there. Both spent years working in Prakra as architects (although they aren’t natives there either.) Massive inferiority complex next to parents who are loving but distant.
Needs glasses to see distance, and to see in dark situations.
Associates:
The Brewer (Husband and Closest Friend)
Yeshe, The Temple Painter (Friend and Conspirator)
The Bouncer (Friend)
Lua & Aleis (Friends, Buyers)
Asra Alnazar (Buyer)
Count Lucio (Frequent Buyer and Occasional Arts Patron, Unfortunately)
Nadia Satrinava (Frequent & Bulk Buyer)
Evander Murena (Frequent & Bulk Buyer)
Aiello Family (Antony’s Family – Suppliers (Dried Fruit, Nuts, etc.))
Conti Estate (Liliana’s Family – Buyers)
Valerius’ Estate (Bulk Buyer)
More TBD!
Quotes:
“What are you gonna do? Get a horrible butt disease???”
“There’s some people who don’t like spiders who like other things...”
“Cheese isn’t lube.”
