From Scratch Series

Making broth

Broth is one of the easiest things to swap out when you're wanting to start from scratch. And it is also something you can make for practically free.

For Vegetable broth:

I make broth with my vegetable waste so it can take a couple weeks to prep. But it can also be made with the whole vegetable if you have it on you. If you're making it with scraps get a large plastic bag and save your vegetables as you cook.

6-8 cups of vegetables or vegetable scraps. I recommend carrots, onion and celery when you're first starting. Garlic(or garlic skins if you're using scraps), mushroom, tomato, bell pepper can also be thrown in. As you get more comfortable try new things.

8 cups water

Salt

Pepper

Optional: A splash of Apple Cider Vinegar(I use the cap, but it's about ½tsp)

If you're using whole vegetables instead of scraps give them a rough chop. You don't want them to be small, but not whole anymore. Include the skin from the onion and the tops and leaves on celery and carrots. If you're using garlic crush it with the flat of your knife. Then cover the vegetables with the water, apple cider vinegar, and a SMALL amount of salt and pepper. Bring it to a boil and once it comes to a boil reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer covered for an hour. Remove from heat and once cool strain. You can at this point pour freezer bags for later use. You can also freeze it in muffin tins and then put into the bag so it's in individual serving sizes.

Bone Broth:

We'll focus mostly on chicken broth here, but any type of combo of bones can work. Chicken bones in my opinion are the easiest to get use what you have. You can also ask the butchers department at your local grocery if they have bones.

1 whole chicken carcass, most of the meat removed

½ - 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

8 cups water

For this I like to use a crockpot but it can also be made in a pot on the stove same as the vegetable broth. It just takes much longer. Add the bones to the pot with he apple cider vinegar and water. I typically don't add salt and pepper to bone broth. If cooking on the stove bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover and allow to simmer for 10-12 hours. It should reduce by about half. If cooking in a crock pot turn to low and let cook 12-24 hours. I tend to go closer to 24 hours for mine. Let cool and strain. DON'T throw away the bones. Either freeze them for later or return them to the pot, I always do my bones twice and label as 1st batch and second batch, unless I do them close enough that I can mix the batches. I use 1st batch broth for soups and stews and 2nd batch broths for rice, casseroles, or gravy.

I love super strong/jacked caretakers with weak or tiny whumpees, especially with the Whumpee-thinks-caretaker-is-their-new-master trope.

The whole “I just have to pray that they mean it when they say they’re not going to hurt me because it would be so easy for them”

“They could kill me without even trying.”

“They’re only being so merciful because they know I’m too weak to fight back so they don’t need to waste their time…”

And of course the caretaker-uses-their-strength-for-good and beats whumpers ass, and suddenly whumpee realizing that, yes, caretaker was a formidable master, but…a protective one too.

#whump #whumpee #whumpee thinks caretaker is their new master #strong caretaker #scary caretaker #pet whump #whump scenario #Galo from the GW series scratches this itch so nicely

after two years i finally draw the favorite

#my art #still learning honestly. idk how to explain it but some medias youre so fixated on and obsessed with u instantly want to draw everyone #for me dunmeshi has always been the opposite. series and characters i enjoy sm i cannot bring myself to pick up a pencil #for some reason. it got a lot worse once the anime started airing idk. simply forcing myself to get some of my energy out. in a way #dunmeshi #dungeon meshi #thistle #dunmeshi thistle #thistle dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #>_< series i was into since late 2021. yet u wouldnt know that unless u follow my side twitter account. sowwy ig #i do this with a lot of franchises honestly. cannot bring myself to draw even if i think abt the characters constantly. ie skip to loafer #u will nvr catch me calling this guy sissel sorry. save that name for Mr. Ghost Trick. another thing i. also. dnt talk abt. which i adore #i need to get better at talking abt and expressing myself for the things that i enjoy. ive been wanting to draw laios for a good #while too but im scared. for some reason. u-u should nvr let a white man do that to me honestly.#for now i'll thistle tho. maybe we will get kabru namari or mithrun next from me >_< i have to talk myself into it #i think the closest way i can explain why i cannot bring myself to draw for some series is that i dnt want to mess up somehow #like 'ilu so much [character] what if i cnt draw u the way u deserve even tho i love u sm what if its not enough.' <- leaves it to sm1 else #tbh [scratches head] i prefer the version with less coloring ^-^ but i realize the one thats more colored would get more eyes on it... hm

The visual transition of Scratch's face to Todd's face in 'Maybe Next Time' provided this interesting fusion if you pasued at the right time and I had been tempted to draw that out. When I talked to @candyheartedchy about that, I decided to give it a go.... though I didn't have a backstory. Until I had a thought.

What if, upon going back into his body, Scratch's determination to not forget Molly was so great that it botched the fusion and lead to an unexpected consequence? (Moreso, considering any ghost powers he still retains are now greatly limited).

#the ghost and molly mcgee #i just finished rewatching the series and needed something to draw to help recover from the finale again #scratch the ghost #todd mortenson #molly mcgee #he has a blue tint on his nose and fingers since he has a natural tint there as a human

People being like “I finally have an excuse to draw [two random characters from different franchises] together” wrt that I Think We’re Gonna Have to Kill This Guy meme is sad to me. Drawing random crossovers has become so “cringe” and unacceptable in fandoms that people will go crazy over a mid-tier meme that gives them a free pass to do it.

You can draw whatever you want forever. Drawing and writing crossovers is so much fun. The early internet was built on people putting random characters together in situations, what we could have if copyright laws didn’t run everything. I’ve seen so many creative pairings of characters with this one meme! I’d just love to see them outside of this single panel redraw!

#I have an entire Cinematic Universe of special interests running in my head at all times LOL #thinking up scenarios of how my faves from one series would interact with faves from another #picking and choosing bits of world lore and creatures and universe laws to make a world of stuff I like #it’s harmless and fun and I think we need to push back against acting like random crossovers by their very nature are ‘cringe’#if someone breaks out their crayons and scratches out a picture of Sonic hanging out with Goku or Rainbow Dash or Bluey #well I think that should be celebrated
