Ranking Every Large Monster in Monster Hunter Rise by How Tasty I Think They Would Be:
A TIER - Delicious Tier. Monsters that are prized for their delicious meat. The tier reserved for luxury meats like foie gras, or wagyu beef. 
Tetranodon [A+]
Luxurious, fatty, versatile, and convenient. These massive omnivorous amphibians cushion their ponderous weight with layers of marbled fat. Shanks are delicious spit-roasted over an open flame, or breaded and fried in their own drippings. Neck, and breasts are cubed for stew meat and stuffed back into the shell with herbs for pit baking. Butt and sirloin are slow-cooked in clay pots to reduce in their own fat like fine carnitas. 
Jyuratodus [A]
These omnivorous filter-feeders are prized in-universe for their meat. Its bipedal stance but fishlike physiology imply a meat somewhere between salmon, catfish, and chicken. Denser thighs are cut into steaks and smoked. The more muscular sirloin is butterflied and deep-fried like catfish filets. The fatty brisket would be the finest cut, reserved for sushi. 
Lagombi [A-]
The already-delicious rabbit, evolved for long-pursuit sub-arctic grazing. Powerful hip joints cushioned by layers of cold-resistant fat. The lagombi would produce a brisket fit for the pinnacles of sephardic cuisine, basted in honey, orange juice, prunes, and apricots. Shoulder and rump should be sliced thin, basted with herbs and oil, and used for gyros. 
(Long Post Ahead)
B TIER - Ordinary Tier. Monsters that can be eaten, and eaten well. The tier of humble, everyday meats like chicken, pork, and beef. 
Great Izuchi / Great Wroggi / Great Baggi [B+]
The chicken of monster hunter ecology. When butchered and clipped of their poison sacs, claws and feet, I can imagine these beasts whole roasted like a holiday turkey, or spit roasted like rotisserie chicken. Given their tails and posture, I imagine they taste slightly oily and gamey, closer to pheasant or game hen than chicken, but still wholly within the realm of chicken. 
Kulu-Ya-Ku [B+] 
A leaner, more agile cousin of the great Izuchi. Similar to Cornish game hen, their limbs produce less meat, but their bodies are traditionally eaten stuffed with herbs, and basted with fat during baking. Flesh is similar to waterfowl, oily, slightly dense, but a sponge for flavor. Not fatty enough to fire-roast, but careful baking can produce a delicious Kulu-Ya-Ku a l'orange. 
Aknosom [B]
Would be placed higher on this list were it not for the complication of having to butcher and remove the flame sac. Specialty cuisines would be developed for cooking a butchered aknosom in its own fluids. Slightly more fat than the Kulu-Ya-Ku, but I would prefer stewing, perhaps an aknosom vindaloo. 
Anjanath [B]
A large monster, armored with dense fat rather than scales. Two caveats: Anjanath eat just about anything, so the taste of their meat would heavily depend on the anjanath's diet, and their flame sac is notably more complex than many other fire-breathing monsters. If properly grazed on offal and vegetables scrap, their meat has a texture somewhere between beef and pork. The top sirloin is especially prized, but notably difficult to acquire. 
Diabolos  [B-]
Most of the meat on these massive, armored predators is far too dense to be worth eating. However, their fatty brisket and thighs are delicious after significant, significant slow-roasting. A favorite for BBQ. 
Rathalos / Rathain [B-]
These large, agile predators are eaten more for their abundance than their taste. Rath meat is similar to horse in texture; stringy, sparse, and of variable taste depending on their hosts diet. Most chefs get around the unpleasant texture by grinding cuts into hamburger or sausage filling, and spicing heavily. 
C TIER - Uncommon Tier. Monsters who can be eaten, but are likely not one’s first choice. The tier of uncommon meats such as rabbit, crocodile, and venison. 
Royal Ludroth [C+]
The neck sacs are unpleasantly spongy, and taste of pus if butchered incorrectly. The meat itself is passable, but similar to gator, dense, fishy, chewy if improperly cooked. The choicest cuts are the tail and sirloin, ideal for gumbo. Skillful chefs can produce a wonderful griddle-cooked Ludroth-mac-n-cheese. 
Somnacanth [C+]
Surprisingly difficult to butcher. These creatures feature a complex endocrine system that constantly threatens to ruin their frankly sparse and oily meat. Skilled chefs marinate tail and belly cuts in a sweet and savory sauce, to produce a result strangely similar to pineapple marinated fish, or somnacanth al-pastor. 
Almurdron [C]
Nearly inedible, but can produce delicacies when butchered properly. Their serpentine bodies are extremely muscular, and feature a weaponized excretory tract that can make the meat foul and actively dangerous to consume if butchered improperly. When prepared correctly, most of the animal is discarded, save for the sheathe of subcutaneous fat and tissue which can be used as a sausage casing. Ground almurdron offal sausage is a common feed for domesticated carnivores, but is occasionally enjoyed by humans. The discerning chef may long-cure the meat, producing a rare and exotic cold-cut enjoyed similarly to a rattlesnake sausage. 
Basarios [C]
Tough, dense, extraordinarily difficult to butcher. The sheer amount of effort involved in butchering these creatures for consumption often outstrips their culinary benefits. When they are eaten, they are drained by the neck and packed in clay for pit baking. Even then, the meat is spongy and gamey, not unlike raw calamari or rocky mountain oysters. 
Barroth [C]
Similar to a great Izuchi, but tougher, chewier, less available, and far more difficult to butcher. Even skilled butchers and captive ranchers have been unable to remove the faint muddy taste from the meat. A tragedy, in that they are almost tasty in so many ways.  
Bishaten [C-]
Of questionable ethicality. Meat has a taste smack dab between pork and chicken, but very lean and slightly gamey. Generally does not have enough meat to be considered worth hunting for consumption, and their diet is varied enough to make the taste a gamble. Occasionally, the fruits they collect may ferment in their pouches. A bishaten persimmon wine reduction is considered a rare delicacy, but generally requires cultivation in captivity. 
Rajang [C-]
Skirting the lower end of edibility is the rajang. Meat is leathery, gamey, and chewy, like a steak that worked out before the slaughter. The organ systems that maintain their extraordinary muscle strength may even continue to hold a charge after death, and butchers must be careful to ground the beast before applying any metal tools. Requires cooking so slow that one generally has time to hunt two more beasts in the meantime. 
D TIER - Delicacy Tier. Monsters that probably should not be eaten, are only partially edible, or require special preparation. The tier of snake, fish eyes, chicken feet, and most edible insects. 
Pukei-Pukei [D+]
Proper butchery of these animals requires extreme skill. Well made Pukei-Pukei pate is treated as a rite-of-passage for aspiring master chefs. A single Pukei-Pukei will only produce 2lbs of fatty cheek, and a single mistake could flood the meat with its deadly toxins. The meat itself is delicate, fatty, and flavorful, akin to a lovechild of white fish and high-quality chicken. 
Tobi-Kadachi [D+]
A Tobi-Kadachi’s spines are actually articulated electrosensory organs, akin to insect mandibles. Each follicle is surrounded by a powerful muscle sphincter, and loops into the creature’s endocrine system. Butchery is an exhausting process of plucking and deveining, all for subcutaneous back tissue that is underwhelming and stringy. Ideal serving would be finely ground and baked into a pie. 
Goss Harag [D+]
These creatures are not hunted for their meat. Due to a unique quirk of the goss-harag’s sebaceous glands, the creature’s adipose deposits gain a unique flavor. Sufficiently mature Goss Harag lard has an herbal, almost minty, flavor. Its culinary use is divisive, a favorite to some, and reviled by others. Their meat is leathery, foul, and dense. Their livers are sweet, and excellent source of vitamin C when eaten raw, but few culinarians are so adventurous. 
Barioth [D+]
Meat is overwhelmingly dense, stringy, and run through with the creature’s jellylike blubber. Some cultures do consume the liver, heart, and testicles, as a source of essential vitamins in sub-arctic environments, but these require skillful butchery and unorthodox techniques to prepare. Offal is sometimes ground and compacted into a baloney-like loaf that is surprisingly good on sandwiches, or stir-fried with eggs.
Tigrex [D]
Tigrex meat is so dense that it cannot be butchered along traditional lines. Ordinarily fatty cuts like breasts and thighs are akin to eating grilled steel wire. However, the lungs, diaphragm, and pelvic muscles are edible after a few days of slow-cooking. Even then, they are quite dense. It is meat that demands a 24 hour pit bake, the realm of BBQ chefs with an experimental streak, or more patience than sense.
Ibushi / Narwa [D]
Bizarre biology and sheer rarity make these creatures a true challenge for the aspiring game chef. Those privileged enough to dine on Narwa meat have described it as fishy and gritty, similar to crab with notes of ozone. Efforts have been made into the production of Ibushi caviar, but none have since been successful. 
Bazelgeuse [D]
Inedible. Even attempting butchery can cost an overconfident chef their hand. However, their unfertilized eggs are delicious, a bomb of umami and natural capcasin. Ideal for Huevos Rancheros or about ten savory omelets. 
Arzuros [D-]
When raised in captivity, on a purely vegetarian diet of herbs, honey, and berries, their meat can be edible. Given that Arzuros are an omnivorous predator, the ethicality of this is contested. Even when properly farmed, arzuros meat is lumpy, unpleasantly textured, and lacking in any distinct flavor. All of the time, controversy, and resources required to produce a single Arzuros steak would be better spent on Tetranodon. 
Nargacuga [D-]
Only edible in that it can be physically consumed. Nargacuga meat is relegated to fringe cuisine, the purview of dubious half-magical medicinal stews and rumors during famine years. The meat is unpleasant, somehow bland, foul, dry, and oily at the same time. Only theoretically edible when mixed with other meats, and heavily spiced. Additionally, the creature’s adrenal secretions can be actively dangerous in more than trace amounts. Improper butchery can make the meat hazardous to consume. 
Chameleos [D-]
Most of these creatures are inedible. The biological mechanisms that facilitate their light-bending abilities are not understood by zoologists, much less chefs. Their meat is sparse and leathery, similar to ludroth, but is also to cause a dangerous allergic reaction in more than 50% of consumers. The only part of the Chameleos known to be safe is their eyes, which are candied and served with sweet rice as a dessert delicacy. 
Mizutsune [D-]
Tastes of soap. Only reached D rank because roughly 10% of the population bears a genetic quirk that makes Mizutsune meat taste like cilantro. 
F TIER - Inedible. Monsters that should not be eaten, cannot be eaten, or are actively dangerous to eat. 
Kushala Daora  [F+]
With a skin of iron-laced keratin, the Kushala Daora is more fit to be used as a grill than placed upon it. The meat is dense, overwhelmingly bloody, and riven with grits of iron oxide. Tastes like iron shavings kneaded into leather. 
Khezu [F+]
It is said in-lore that many hunters have tried, and failed, to make the Khezu palatable. These giant leeches feature a complex digestive and endocrine system more useful for medical applications than cuisine. Escargot is already unpleasant. Even stir fried like chinese periwinkle snails, Khezu meat is far too muscular to eat. Tastes like an art eraser soaked in cough syrup. 
Rakna-Kadaki [F+]
Edible only in the sense that it can be physically consumed. Where the fire-breathing organs of other organisms can be removed during butchery, insect respiration is done through spiracles in the carapace. Spider meat already tastes of pus and rot, but the rakna-kadaki features overtones of sulphur and gasoline. 
Zingore [F]
A large, muscular, agile pursuit predator with biological mechanisms for electroconductivity. Wolflike predators already taste of gristle and death, but the Zingore’s electrochemical organ system taints its meat with an overwhelming flavor of bleach and battery acid. Meat is highly toxic to humans. 
Teostra [F]
A large, muscular pursuit predator known for attacking caravans to eat gunpowder. The meat is stringy, gristly, sulfurous, and smells of rotting eggs. Impossible to cook, as applying any sort of heat will cause the meat to rapidly combust. Tastes of old rope bathed in a sulfur vent. 
Valstrax [F-]
A heavily armored, extraordinarily agile aerial pursuit predator with a secondary respiration system to facilitate jet propulsion. Meat is stringy, rubbery, chemically astringent with overwhelming notes of crude oil and smog. Biological fluids are a chemical accelerant, and risk exploding if ignited. 
Magnamalo [F-]
The only thing that could make this monster edible would be slow-roasting in the whole shell. This should never be attempted. Given its purple coloration, the Magnamalo’s secondary respiration system exhales what is likely a complex and highly volatile lithium phosphate. Meat is dense, gristly, tastes of battery acid and spoiled wine. Risks exploding if ignited, oxygenated, or introduced to an electrical charge. 
Volvidon [F-]
Indescribably foul. The volvidon’s digestive tract produces both a paralytic venom, and a predator deterrent in the form of toxic flatulence. Consumption will risk paralysis and uncontrollable vomiting, risking a horrific death by asphyxiation.

Chat Log: A Human Child Arrives in the Devildom
Beelzebub: I don’t remember. Beelzebub: I don't remember that either. Mammon: Oi, Beel, what the hell are you saying? Satan: That isn’t Beel. It’s “the new human exchange student”. Mammon: Why are ya sayin’ that in quotes? Satan: You’ll see. Mammon: The hell does that mean?! Beelzebub: I fell. Beelzebub: I fell out a tree and then I was here. Lucifer: Satan, Asmo, Beel. I thought I said to look after the human child. Why is it sending nonsense in the chat? Asmo: It can’t talk, so we’re asking it questions out loud and having it answer like this! Lucifer: Why did you not create a new chat where you could interrogate it without annoying the rest of us? Satan: Convenience. This chat already existed. Mammon: Whoa whoa whoa, did you say human CHILD? Why the hell did you guys recruit a child? Lucifer: We didn’t. Something appears to have gone wrong in the summoning process. Barbatos is attempting to resolve the issue as we speak. Mammon: Is the kid still in the chat? Asmodeus: Yes, Beel loaned it his phone. Mammon: Hey kid, ya like ice cream? Beelzebub: Yes. Mammon: Well, I got a massive chocolate cone for any human kid who’s willing to come hang out around the central plaza for a few hours. Demons’ll pay good money to get a look at a genuine human child.  Mammon: Hey, Asmo, is it cute? Beelzebub: They want me to tell you I'm not going anywhere with you. Asmodeus: Yeah, leave the poor thing alone! It probably misses its parents! Asmodeus: And yes, it’s adorable! ♡ Mammon: Good, folks’ll pay more for that. Leviathan: Whaaaaaat? Sorry, just backread, but wow! You guys isekai’d a BABY to RAD? LOLOLOLOL Beelzebub: I’m not a baby. Lucifer: I apologize for the delay in sending this message. I was occupied with Diavolo and Barbatos. Lucifer: Mammon, if you take that child out in public and it gets eaten, I will flay you alive. Beelzebub: Do demons eat kids? Mammon: Yep. Mammon: They’re pretty freakin’ delicious too. Way better than old people. Mammon: ‘Cause they’re softer. Lucifer: Shut up and listen. Lucifer: Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem as if this issue is going to be resolved as quickly as I had hoped. Lucifer: Mammon, if I leave you in charge of the human until tomorrow, do you think you can keep it alive? Mammon: What? Why me? Ain’t Asmo and Satan there already? Lucifer: I hesitate to entrust a child to either Asmo or Satan for any extended period of time due to certain personality defects each of them possess. Asmodeus: Rude!!! Mammon: What about Beel? Lucifer: Beel would certainly eat it. Mammon: …Yeah, I guess that’s fair. Lucifer: Satan, Asmo, Beel. Please take the human to the school gates and wait for Mammon to retrieve it. In the meantime, Diavolo has graciously offered to lend it the D.D.D. he had prepared for the original transfer student, so stop by the dean’s office to pick it up. Asmodeus: Fine, we're going. Mammon: I really gotta do this, huh? Lucifer: Yes. Mammon: :( Leviathan: LOLOLOLOL!!! This is hilarious! Lucifer: Don't think I've forgotten about you, Levi. I'd like you to prepare a few dishes Barbatos says are in vogue with human children. Leviathan: Wait, are you making me its personal chef? Mammon: Ha! Serves ya right! Leviathan: Shut up, Mammon. Lucifer: Macaroni and cheese. Lucifer: Chicken tenders/nuggets (in the shape of dinosaurs, if possible) Leviathan: Dinosaurs? Lucifer: Apple juice. Lucifer: Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Lucifer: French fries. Lucifer: Cheese pizza. Leviathan: Do I have to make all of this right now? Lucifer: Chocolate chip cookies. Lucifer: Human-world grapes. Leviathan: Am I being trolled right now? Lucifer: Absolutely not. Prepare one dish immediately using whatever ingredients we already own. Lucifer: Human, if you are still here, I would like to extend my deepest apologies on behalf of the Royal Academy of Diavolo for this unfortunate mistake. Lucifer: I hope we are able to resolve this in a timely manner.

Prompt for you!
OC has such an exhausting, completely garbage day at work that they can hardly have the energy to say hi to their partner, Jimin, when they get home let alone change out of their work clothes
Tumblr media
Jimin's busy in the kitchen when he heard the front door open, the lid to the slow cooker replaced whilst he washes the spoon he'd just used to stir the curry. Sure, it's the lazy way of making curry, or any food really, but he'd already skimped out by using the store made curry sauce so he may as well go the whole way.
Besides, he really liked this brand's version of a Balti, and he'd added in some extra spices and even cut up some chilli's to satisfy you. Either way, his mouth was now watering with the delicious aroma of chicken Balti delighting his nose.
It's only when he's washed the spoon, dried it and placed it back in the cutlery drawer that he realises he didn't hear you say hello. Frowning to himself, he heads out of the kitchen and is greeted with the sight of an empty entranceway. Your shoes are placed in the shoe cubby, and your jacket is on its usual peg, so you were clearly home and he hadn't just imagined the whole thing.
But you always shouted out a 'hello' to him.
Given his job was only a ten minute drive versus your forty-five minutes, he always got home before you. It was your routine...and you hadn't done it today.
Frowning, he moves down the hallway and cards his fingers through his hair as he pops his head around doorways to see where you are. Not in the living room, not in the office and not in the dining room.
"Sweetheart? Are you okay?" Jimin calls out, sucking his lower lip between his teeth and chewing on them as he looks up the staircase. The door to the main bathroom is open, so you haven't had some gastro issue that's caused you to rush to the bathroom (that had happened before and you refused to use the ensuite for such...rough times).
"Y/N?"
Still no answer, and Jimin jogs up the stairs on light footsteps. It's warmer on the second floor, and he notes the open door of your shared bedroom. Had you gone straight to bed? You hadn't texted him to say you weren't feeling well or anything...
You haven't bothered to turn on the bedroom light, and in the depths of winter it meant that the bedroom was in darkness. Neither of you bothered opening the curtains or blinds at this time of year, as you didn't get to experience any benefit.
The light from the hallway is enough for Jimin to see your body stretched on the bed, though. A small huff of laughter leaves him as he takes in the sight of you laid there, fully dressed in your smart business clothes whilst your face is smushed into the pillow.
"Bad day?" He asks, crawling up onto the bed with you. The only response he gets is a muffled sound, and he grins slightly as he sits next to you.
"I'm sorry, I don't speak pillow." Jimin teases, gently poking at your shoulder until you turn your head to look at him.
"There she is, so what's got my pretty wife trying to suffocate herself?" He asks, shuffling down until he's laid next to you. Silence answers him, and he wonders if you're angry at him or something. He doesn't think he's done anything, but he's been married to you long enough to know that maybe he'd cheated on you in your dream.
"Just tired, was a busy day and I've got no mental juice left." You groan quietly, lazily rolling onto your side before shuffling until your head rests on his chest.
"Ah, that sounds shitty. How about you nap a little, then? I'll wake you up in a bit as dinner won't be for another hour or so." His hand slowly strokes up and down your arm in soothing, rhythmic gestures and he takes solace in the deep sigh you give out.
"Yeah, okay. Love you."
"Love you too."

Hi would you be willing to share your chicken soup with sweet potatoes recipe? I saw your tags on that one post and it sounds delicious!
i happily would! it's a recipe from bon appetit but these days theyre restricting access to viewing recipes, or at least how many times you can view them, without a subscription or account which is bullshit, so here it is in full with some of my own adjustments and editorializing colored green for fun:
ingredients:
-¾ lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs (call it like 3-4 chicken thighs)
-⅓ cup jasmine rice, rinsed (if you want your soup to become more thick and enriched and almost porridge or congee-like, skip the rinsing of the rice)
-4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced (i just shred the garlic with a grater or microplane)
-1 2" piece ginger, peeled, thinly sliced (same here, specifically i microplane this so it melts into the soup rather than being chunks)
-Kosher salt
-2 small sweet potatoes, unpeeled, cut into ½"-thick rounds
-2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
-2 Tbsp. soy sauce
-½ bunch cilantro, coarsely chopped (i skip this cuz i have the bad cilantro gene but live your life)
-Freshly ground black pepper (do not skimp on this shit, go ham)
instructions:
Step 1
Bring chicken, rice, garlic, ginger, and 5 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add a big pinch of salt (if you dont know what would constitute a "big pinch" i'd recommend like a teaspoon, that feels right). Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until rice has swelled and chicken is firm, 10–12 minutes.
Step 2
Add potatoes to pan and cook over medium-low heat, still uncovered and stirring occasionally, until soup is thickened and potatoes and rice are tender, 15–20 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to a bowl and shred with 2 forks, then return to pot. Stir in lemon juice and soy sauce; taste soup and season with salt if needed.
Step 3
Divide soup among bowls. Top with cilantro and lots of black pepper.
there you have it! its literally so stupidly easy, comes together in less than an hour, and is so wholesome and rich and fulfilling. go forth and soup my friend.

Hello, I was curious as to what your favorite Summer dishes from around Tamriel are? The types of dishes that are cool in temp/don't require much cooking?
While not every region of Tamriel experiences four seasons, we can all agree that one of the most important things in life is food that you'll still want to eat despite the presence of overbearing sunshine, flying insects, and sweltering heat. These are some dishes from across the continent that might tickle your fancy in the summertime!
Altmer
Chilled gazpacho aside, the Altmer really are the masters of summer dishes thanks to the warm and temperate climate of Summerset. One of my personal favourites, from Vulkhel Guard, is a medley of raw and lightly seared ocean fish and roe on a bed of sticky rice. The fish is delightfully fresh, and is seasoned with yuzu and saltrice sauce, before being topped with a healthy spoonful of salmon roe and shredded nori.
Argonians
It's (the worst part of) summer all year round in Black Marsh, and the food is there to help beat the heat! Chilled egg and crustacean custard sounds weird, it's truly delectable! A savoury egg custard is steamed in small bowls with any type of crustacean meat, or snails. It is then left to cool by leaving the bowls to float in water. The end result is creamy, delicious, and moreish!
Bosmer
Summer dishes in Valenwood are a cause for celebration among the Bosmer, because it means barbecue season! Break out the cold jagga, grab the coals, and bring as much meat as you can! All sorts of meats are great when barbecued, from squirrel and pork to timber mammoth and venison. Meat is always seasoned with rock salt before hitting the grill. Also, don't forget the iconic, squeaky grilled timber mammoth barbecue cheese!
Bretons
There's nothing quite like kicking back on a warm summer's day in High Rock with a light and refreshing cold roast chicken and millet salad, with deep fried dandelions and seasonal mushrooms. This salad, originating from Alcaire, is a great way to use up last night's roast chicken, and is great with a drizzle of Breton balsamic vinegar and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Dunmer
Summer is a wholly foreign concept in Morrowind, but light and refreshing food is always welcome against the volcanic heat. Strips of grilled, spiced guar are pounded til tender, then tossed into a stir fry of bittergreen, hackle-lo, and fried ash yam cubes. It's served with a good drizzle of comberry vinegar, and steamed or fried kwama egg saltrice.
Imperials
Every time I visit my home on the Gold Coast of Cyrodiil, I absolutely have to make my favourite regional dish that's perfect for summer: chicken and eggplant bake. Strips of chicken and eggplant are laid over a mix of scalloped potatoes and fresh tomato slices. They are covered in a bechamel sauce and lots of cheese then baked until golden. The end result is a creamy, tangy bake that's finished with a good drizzle of fresh pesto and West Weald pecorino.
Khajiit
One of my favourite dishes in all of Tamriel is a vermicelli salad from Southern Elsweyr, that can only be described as an explosion of colours, flavours, and textures. Cold vermicelli is tossed together with shredded green papaya in a sauce including ingredients like lime juice, fish sauce, moon sugar, and fresh chilis. It's topped with crispy, deep fried catfish, and crushed toasted nuts.
Nords
Whiterun Hold is home to Skyrim's summeriest of dishes, apple, jazbay grape, and cabbage slaw. It's made from a rich and creamy mayonnaise base, with slices of apples, chopped jazbay grapes, and an abundance of shredded cabbage. It is topped with walnuts and sometimes bacon lardons, and served lightly chilled. The slaw is usually served on its own as a small meal, or as a side to grilled meats.
Orcs
Wood Orcs in Valenwood have, like the Bosmer, become masters of the barbecue. However, they prefer to make skewers of spiced, minced meat and root vegetables, as opposed to plain chunks of meat. Minced beef, pork, or timber mammoth are mixed with a secret blend of spices, including cinnamon and frost mirriam, before being shaped into small bricks. The bricks are skewered with long metal rods, and grilled until there's a nice bit of char while still being juicy on the inside. Wash it down with a cold glass of sugar mammoth milk with mashed mango!
Redguards
Just like Elsweyr and Morrowind, summer isn't a concept in the hot and rugged land of Hammerfell. Keeping cool meals ready to serve in johads, or rain catchers, is an Alik'r trick that's been passed down for generations. Pre-cooked saffron rice with nuts and dried fruit are wrapped tightly in palm leaf packages, and left to cool in the waters of the johad. When it's time to eat, simply unwrap the cool rice and serve with curries, goat's yoghurt sauce, or chutneys. Simple, light, and good to tuck into after a scorching day in the Alik'r.

My Safe Food Grocery Haul
A simple list of foods I recently bought and/or already have. Also this isn't everything I bought, I bought more so that I can make a Low Calorie Curry and some Low Calorie Breakfast burritos. So those ingredients will not be included on this list, but on different ones. Also yes, I do shop at Walmart.
Coffee
Tumblr media
Instant Coffee - 0 cal per tsp
Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk - 30cal per cup
Vanilla & Caramel flavors - 0 cal per 2Tbsp
Pumpkin's Spice Creamer - 35cal per Tbsp
Stevia Packets - 0cal per packet
Coconut Whipped Creme - 10 Cal per 2Tbsp
I use coffee to suppress my appetite as well as boost my energy. Stevia for sweetening and I got 3 different flavors cause I like variety. The whipped creme I use cause sometimes I like to make things look pretty and fancy, makes me feel happy.
Fruits
Tumblr media
Watermelon - Roughly 46cal per cup
Peaches - 30cal per container
As I am not eating properly I still like to try and be healthy and get some fruit in my life. Plus these add bulk to my plate without the bulk of calories. Also I love watermelon <3
Sweets
Tumblr media
Hershey's - 32.5 Calories for one.
Max Mallow - 7.5 Calories for one.
I bought these to instantly satisfy a sweet tooth craving. I do have a snow cone machine where I can make 0 cal snow cones, but that takes up to 10 minute to set up and let the ice soften. So these are good for me to just grab at any moment ^^
Salty Stuff

Sea Salt Veggie Straws - 65cal per 19 Straws
Screaming Hot Straws - 65cal per 19 Straws
Pickles - 5cal per spear
Salty stuff to instantly satisfy that salt craving. I use the pickles more so to suppress my appetite or if I crave pickles.
Food/Meals
Tumblr media
Strawberry & Peach Yogurt - 80cal per container
Hard Boiled Egg - 60cal per egg
Edamame - 90cal per bag
18.5oz Chicken Noodle Soup - 130cal
Chicken Microwave Meal - 180cal
A Yogurt and an egg is usually for breakfast, it's something quick I can just grab and make before work. Edamame is delicious with a little lemon juice and salt, adds bulk to my plate, and takes a while to eat. Chicken noodle soup tastes more like carrot broth soup, still tasty though, plus quick and easy. Herb Roasted Chicken meal is a Life Saver!! The most delicious food and my ultimate safe food! 180cals for something amazing and satisfying!! (I wont eat a single meal if its passed 190cal, even then for me that's cutting it close, and makes me uncomfortable)
Miscellaneous
Tumblr media
Gum - <5cal per stick
Energy Bar - 100cal per 3 blocks/1 serving
Gum I use to suppress my appetite and keep my mouth distracted so I wont eat cause I'm bored.
Now the Energy Bar. I once read on here that this girl was feeling faint (or she did faint) and shaking from not eating enough (or maybe she was fasting, I dont remember) and she ate one of these and she said it helped her. Something about a sugar or something being low and this quickly brought it back up. So I keep 2 of these in my bags should I ever feel scared and shaky and faint. So I treat this as an emergency item.

Grilled steak with chimichurri sauce Recipes
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
INGREDIENTS
For The Chimichurri sauce
1 packed fresh parsley leaves * 1/4 cup
1 olive oil * 2 tablespoons red wine
1 vinegar * 1 tablespoon lemon juice * 1
1 clove garlic, minced * 1/2 teaspoon
red pepper flakes * Salt, optional
and freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the Steak:
2 thick-cut steaks * Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste * Olive oil, such as ribeye, New York strip, or skirt steak
Course meal: Breakfast, omnivore Diet
CUISINES: ARGENTINa inspired
Step by step instructions
1. Prep the Chimichurri Sauce:
1) * Gather your ingredients: fresh parsley, garlic cloves, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon, and red pepper flakes (optional) on a cutting board.
*
* Roughly chop the parsley leaves.
* Mince the garlic cloves for a stronger flavor, or leave them in larger pieces for a milder taste.
2. Blend the Sauce:
* Combine all the chopped ingredients for the chimichurri sauce in a blender.
* Pour in the olive oil and a splash of red wine vinegar or lemon juice.
* Pulse the blender until the mixture is finely chopped but still retains some texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
For the steak
3. Prepare the Steak:
* Select your favorite cut of steak for grilling. Thick-cut options like ribeye or New York strip work well.
* Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure even browning.
* Generously season the steak with salt and freshly ground black pepper on a plate.
4. Preheat the Grill:
* Get your grill nice and hot! Aim for medium-high heat, around 450°F (230°C) for optimal searing.
5. Sear the Steak:
* Carefully place the seasoned steak on the preheated grill.
* Sear the steak undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side, depending on the thickness and desired doneness.
* Use tongs to turn the steak to avoid piercing it and losing its juices.
* You'll see beautiful grill marks forming on the surface of the steak.
6. Rest and Slice:
* Once the steak reaches your desired doneness, transfer it to a plate and tent it loosely with foil.
* Letting the steak rest for 5-10 minutes allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
* Slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.
7. Plate and Enjoy!
* Drizzle the vibrant green chimichurri sauce generously over the sliced steak for a burst of freshness and tangy flavor.
*
* Serve alongside your favorite grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad for a complete and delicious meal.
**Accurate Nutrition Information (per serving):**
* Calories: 550-650 (depending on the fat content of the steak)
* Protein: 40-50 grams
* Fat: 30-40 grams
* Carbs: 5-10 grams
**Notes and FAQ:**
* **Choosing your steak:** Select a thick-cut steak like ribeye, New York strip, or skirt steak for optimal grilling results.
* **Doneness preference:** Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak for your desired doneness:
* Rare: 120°F (49°C)
* Medium-rare: 130°F (54°C)
* Medium: 140°F (60°C)
* Medium-well: 150°F (66°C)
* Well-done: 160°F (71°C)
* **Resting the steak:** Letting the steak rest after grilling is crucial for maintaining its juiciness.
Explore recipe variations by:
* **Trying different chimichurri ingredients:** Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicier sauce or swap the parsley with cilantro for a different flavor profile.
* **Experimenting with marinades:** Marinate your steak in your favorite marinade before grilling for extra flavor.
* Chimichurri sauce can also be used on chicken, fish, or egg
**Storage Instructions:**
* Leftover steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
* Chimichurri sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
**Possible Substitutions:**
* **Steak:** Flank steak, flat iron steak, or hanger steak can be used as substitutes.
* **Red wine vinegar:** Lemon juice or white wine vinegar can be used in place of red wine vinegar.
* **Fresh herbs:** If fresh parsley is unavailable, use ½ cup chopped frozen parsley or a combination of other fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, or oregano.
**Best Before Date:**
Freshly prepared chimichurri sauce is best enjoyed within 5 days. However, the chimichurri can lose some of its vibrancy and freshness over time.
**Allergy and Avoidance Information:**
This recipe contains gluten (from wheat) and soy (from soy sauce in the chimichurri sauce). Opt for gluten-free soy sauce or alternative ingredients like tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.
**Food and Beverage Pairings:**
* **Wine:** Pair this dish with a bold red wine like Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Zinfandel.
* **Beer:** Enjoy a cold beer like an IPA or a lager with your steak.
* **Non-alcoholic beverages:** Iced tea, lemonade, or sparkling water are refreshing options.

National Tartar Sauce Day
French fries with ketchup. Chicken wings with barbecue sauce. And fish with tartar sauce. These pairings of food with sauces are classics that just about anyone will love. And today is the day to celebrate the sauce.
Specifically, it’s National Tartar Sauce Day! So get ready to grab some seafood and pile on the tartar sauce!
History of National Tartar Sauce Day
While National Tartar Sauce Day is a fairly recent celebration, it has roots that go back to approximately 1400 years ago. When Pope St. Gregory declared that people should abstain from eating meat on Fridays, the people started eating fish, instead, since it wasn’t considered to be flesh. The significance of Friday is that the Christian tradition believes that Jesus Christ died on a Friday.
In the 1960s, the rules changed a bit and many people of the Catholic tradition began abstaining from meat on Fridays only during the Lenten season. Lent is the period of time that falls 40 days (not counting Sundays) prior to Easter. Many people still continue this tradition of eating fish on Fridays during Lent.
And of course, with the tradition of eating fish regularly often comes the delicious addition of tartar sauce!
National Tartar Sauce Day was founded in 2017 by Frisch’s Big Boy, a chain of classic restaurants in the American Midwest. The restaurant established the day in celebration of the sauce that pairs so well with fish, which is eaten in larger quantities during this time of year.
In fact, National Tartar Sauce Day is a rolling holiday that follows the religious calendar and always falls on the first Friday of Lent, either in late February or early March. So get ready to enjoy some seafood because it’s time to celebrate National Tartar Sauce Day!
How to Celebrate National Tartar Sauce Day
Get involved with celebrating National Tartar Sauce Day with some of these fun ideas:
Order Up Some Fish with Tartar Sauce
Of course, the best way to pay heed to National Tartar Sauce Day is to enjoy some with a serving of fish. Head out to a restaurant that serves seafood, like Frisch’s Big Boy, for instance, and order up a plate of fish with tartar sauce. Even McDonald’s serves its Filet-O-Fish sandwich with a portion of tartar sauce on the bun!
Try Making Tartar Sauce at Home
Those who are feeding a family or who just prefer to eat at home might want to have their own fish fry on National Tartar Sauce Day! And what is the best thing to serve with that fish? Well, it’s the sauce, of course!
Making tartar sauce at home actually isn’t very difficult at all and only requires a few ingredients. The main base is mayonnaise with a few other ingredients, like mustard, sweet pickle relish and lemon juice. For additional flavor, some people might prefer to add a dash of Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, black pepper or capers.
Pile the tartar sauce high on the plates, right next to the fish, and watch the family dig in!

I just made carbonara with prawn and I thought it was delicious, so here's a recipe (note that I literally just made this on my own, so ORIGINAL RECIPE YOOOOOOOO):
Prawn Pasta Carbonara
Ingredients:
Pasta of choice
Salt
Oil of choice
4 pieces of prawn, shell intact
1/2 shallot, diced
1 clove of garlic, thinly sliced
1 tsp butter
Hard cheese e.g. parmesan, fresh
1 egg
6-8 cherry tomatoes, cut half
1/3 chicken bouillon cube (or about 3/4 tsp of powdered bouillon)
1/2 tsp lemon juice
Dried basil
Szechuan pepper, coarsely grounded
Steps:
Boil some water and cook that pasta with salt and a dash of oil.
Take your shelled prawns and mix with some oil, salt and Szechuan pepper.
In a medium-hot oiled pan, place your prawns and cook till it's orange with a hint of dark. Remove from the pan.
Add shallot and garlic, and a bit of water from your boiling pasta pot. Then, add butter. Cook until slightly brown (which is like a few seconds).
Add cherry tomatoes, basil, more Szechuan pepper, lemon juice and chicken bouillon. Stir to cook.
Your pasta should be done by now. Remove from heat, then add the pasta into the pan with some of its water. Cook till the remaining water starts simmering, then turn it off.
While the pan is cooling, in a bowl, crack an egg and grate some parmesan cheese into it. Mix thoroughly.
Add egg-cheese mixture into the slightly-cooled-but-still-warm pan. Mix till homogeneous.
You can re-add your prawns here and mix with the sauce, or add them later on the plate.
Serve!
I was bored and feeling slightly inspired. I think it turned out great. A shame I didn't take a photo. If you do make this, please reblog this with the photo. I wanna see it :)
(I actually thought of adding capers into this dish but I didn't have any so if you do want to try that, you can too and tell me if it's better or worse)

Take a Taste: with Mang Inasal Pork Sisig [Recorded: Jan 10th, 2024]
Hello! It’s time for another “Take a Taste”! The series is about delicious food with my two paper dolls.
Alright, we're back on track with our 1st delicious meal episode for 2024! (The OG 1st episode was exclusively to super secret blog(s)) We're at the Mang Inasal restaurant from a different branch, with our food review is one of their famous meal, the Pork Sisig. Mmmmmmm! 😋🇵🇭🍴🍖🍚 Will this 'Pork Sisig' worth our taste buds, or what? Let's find out, right now!
NOTE: For those from outside of my country, including my secret friends, "Mang Inasal" (means "Mr. Barbecue") is a Philippine-based chain restaurant 🇵🇭🍗🔥, mainly with their signature famous 'Chicken BBQ' known as 'Chicken Inasal', as well as other meats that we're grilled and sizzled, not to mentioned Filipino-based traditional cuisines. For info, please → [CLICK ME!].
BTW: This is the same date as I captured the big hole, hours ago → [CLICK ME!]. 🤳🏙️
IMPORTANT NOTE: No #OnThisDay throwback post for this date.
If you haven’t seen my previous episode, then please click here → [CLICK ME!].
So, without further ado, let’s get started:
1st & 2nd Image(s): ↑
• Here's the picture of the entire set of meal, including our main food to our left. The Pork Sisig! 😋🇵🇭🍴🍖🍚 Although, its not sizzling hot from the stove it is A-Okay to us. Same goes to the warm cooked rice.🙂 However, there's one thing that we can do, so I'll get to that after numerous images. 😉 My paper dolls are excited to taste! 😋
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3rd & 4th Image(s): ↑
• Here's a closer look at the Pork Sisig, and... "What's that on the right?" My paper dolls said. That, my friend is their traditional 'Tamarid Soup'. 🇵🇭 🫘 🥣 When we ordered any meal at Mang Inasal, we get a free Tamarid Soup. Its delicious, I would tell ya. But, we have to save it for our huge meal, okay? 😉
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
5th to 7th Image(s): ↑
• Anyways, here's my paper dolls attempts to squeeze and mixed our pork sisig with tiny citrus fruit, we called it 'Calamansi'. 🇵🇭🍋➡️🇵🇭🍖 Unfortunately, they forgot to remove the seeds once they mixed together, but that's alright. Let me handle it. 🙂
BTW: There's also a chili on our plate if we want our Pork Sisig 'extra spicy', but we decided not putting it. 🌶️❌✋
Tumblr media Tumblr media
8th & 9th Image(s): ↑
• And once its done mixing, its time to eat! 😁🇵🇭🍴🍖🍚 Here's my first scoop of pork sisig with rice! *munching* Mmmmm! I'd say, its pretty delicious with a touch of Calamansi fruit juice. Here have some! 😊 "Yummy!" My paper dolls said! Meaty and juicy, huh?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
10th & 11th Image(s): ↑
• Now, you've seen our taste test. Let's finish it off before we proceed, ey you two!? 😋🍴 And after we ate the rice, it is done! 😊
• However, we still have our Pork Sisig. "So, what now?" My paper dolls said. 🤔 I don't know, should we takeout our leftover Pork Sisig? Nah! ❌✋ I've got a solution! As I shouted my words said, "Waiter can I get another round of rice, please?" ✋😄
Tumblr media Tumblr media
12th & 13th Image(s): ↑
• TADA! 😃 My paper dolls' reactions → "Woah!" 😲 I know right! 😁 This restaurant offers an "Unlimited Rice" upon ordering a meal! If we served a green leaf plate as their color code, that means we can request from a waiter/waitress for some delicious warm rice! 😋🍚🍚 For me, I requested two scoops of rice just for us! Cool, huh? 😄My paper dolls was amazed that concept. Indeed because we Filipinos (like ME) can't eat delicious dishes (whether meaty or vegan) without rice. After all, "Rice is Life", you know. 🍚😉 However, we have to moderate our bodies to prevent immobile. So, we've heard "Drink Responsibly" for alcoholic beverages, but in the food world that's "Eat Responsibly". ☝️😮
• Anyways, let's have a experiment with our glutton rice, shall we!? 😁🍚 I put a half a rice onto my Tamarid soup, while the main plate is mixing with two condiments of Soy Sauce (left) & their famous Chicken Oil (right). Step aside the Tamarid Rice Soup, later. 🙂
Tumblr media Tumblr media
14th & 15th Image(s): ↑
• Let's try with the latter! 😋🇵🇭🍴🍖🍚 And uh, did I mentioned, that Pork Sisig has added with mini pork cracklings (known in the Philippines as "Chicaron", as well as other selected latin countries)? Yup, its quite crunchy to our meaty goodness! 😊 Here have some, you two! "Delicious" My paper dolls said! 😋
Tumblr media Tumblr media
16th & 17th Image(s): ↑
• Now, what about my 'Tamarid Rice Soup'? 🤔 No problem, we still have Pork Sisig so let's put it in! 😁 *munching* Mmmm, A-Okay. The combination of sour Tamarid soup, and meaty bits from Sisig was an interesting to some. 🙂👌 You want some of this, you two? "Its alright" My paper dolls said. ☺
Tumblr media
18th Image: ↑
• *Sigh* Looks like my stomach is full after eating too much rice. 😮‍💨🍴🍚 Hey, do you want to eat the rest of my Sisig, you two? "Yes, please!" My paper dolls response. 😋🇵🇭🍴🍖 They happily to oblige by munching the rest of my meaty Pork Sisig.
Tumblr media
19th Image: ↑
• And as I quenched with a refreshing cold water 🧊🥛, our entire meal was gone! With the exception of one raw chili. Hey, you two would ya want to eat raw chili? Their response was passed because they're also full. 🌶️❌✋ Sorry, Chili but we don't want to put it on our mouths and stomachs. Things could be worst if we can't hold ourselves, you know. 😅
Overall & Asking Price:
• It was a satisfying meal for us! From offering free soup after purchasing to munching meaty bits with unli rice! And yes, we can order it with another type of dish, such as their main signature 'Chicken Inasal' or their Filipino style BBQ sticks, etc... Plus, there's also serving 'Java Rice' with 'Unlimited' option of the same gluttony. 😊 For now, our stomachs full means its time for us to burn some calories, once again! 🔥🏃📏
• As for the price (2024 update), I ordered the Solo Pork Sisig variant for ₱99 🇵🇭💵 ($1.77) (while the additional drink of choice for ₱119 🇵🇭💵 ($2.13)), with the additional 'Unli Rice' choice for ₱35 🇵🇭💵 ($0.63). A total of ₱134 ($2.40) 🇵🇭💵 was not only a fair cheap price, but also a worth for your wallet because you can eat unlimited rice on your plate as much as you want, as long as you have a meaty Entree left. 😉 But once again, "Eat Responsibly" because eating rice too much can lead to diabetes. So please, do moderately as much as I am. ☝️😮
Well, that's all for now. 😊

Disney : Lampwick and Pinocchio's Jealousy by Levi
Lampwick crossed his arms as he sank into the chair at the dinner table. He was supposed to be hanging with Pinnochio, his best friend, but here he was at this dinner party as he hung around Alice.
Those two boys had always been close, inseparable even. They did everything together, went everywhere, closer than anything. Until…
He met her. A gorgeous graceful lady with blonde hair that rested against her shoulders. Her mystifying blue eyes that could entrance most. A blossoming curiosity that could keep anyone entertained. The two had met by chance at a sweets shop. They chatted with each other for a while, really hitting it off. Soon, Lampwick and Pinnochio's hangouts slowly got shorter. Everyday to every other day. A couple of hours to thirty minutes.
"Oh, sorry Lampwick. I promised Alice that I'd take her to that new puppet show in town", he would tell his friend.
Soon, Pinnochio began spending his days with that girl, leaving Lampwick alone with his ice cream.
"Tsk. That stupid Alice. Doesn't she know that he's my best friend…?" he mumbled to himself.
He would watch his best friend laughing and hugging this other girl, and he couldn't help but feel… hollow. His heart aching in his chest while he can do nothing but scowl. It was why he was at the dinner party. To show Pinnochio that he can have fun without him! But… All he could do at that table was imagine how close Alice and him were becoming.
Was it wrong that he didn't want to lose his best friend? Was he being too clingy? He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice the girl that sat beside him. She was silent, paying little attention to him. Everyone was conversing with each other, having fun as they gulped down their drinks.
"I've never seen someone so down at a party", the girl said.
Lampwick flinched, finally realising the presence of the pretty girl that gave off a mysterious aura.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"I'll tell you my name if you say yours first", she responded.
He raised his eyebrow in intrigue, his mind drifting from the thoughts that troubled him earlier.
"Lampwick."
"Odd name", she commented.
"Tsk, just tell me yours", he scowled.
"Tigerlily."
He snickered, making her form an irritated expression.
"And you call my name weird."
"Because it is. Just because you find my name strange doesn't mean yours is any more normal." He grinned at her words, wondering if she was always like that. She even smiled slightly, but it was brief. The food was served with much grace with delicious scents radiating off of it. There was roast chicken, bowls of fruits, freshly chopped vegetables and an entire pig with an apple in its mouth. Lampick drooled at the sight, grabbing an entire chicken leg and dug in. It was soft and juicy in his mouth, and it was still hot.
“Jeez. You eat like you’ve never been fed”, Tigerlily remarked in surprise.
“I’m damn hungry so what do ya expect?” he replied as he rolled his eyes.
The two enjoyed the food of the party, watching people dance and the musicians filling the chipper air with song. Cheers rang out as the organisers went to clear the table and wash the dishes at the basin. Tigerlily and Lampwick got to know each other over a drink of homemade fruit juice, giggling and laughing at the most simple of things. Gradually, he forgot his worries about Pinocchio.
Pinocchio had felt guilty about blowing off his best friend for so long, so he decided he’d spend some time with him. Once he arrived at his house, he heard laughing. He knocked politely as Lampwick went to answer. Pinocchio saw a girl he didn’t recognise at the pool table, struggling to learn how to properly hold the cue.
“Hey, Lampwick. I wanted to know if you wanted to go bowling with me?” he asked.
“Sorry kid. I’m busy teaching Tigerlily here how to play pool.”
The small boy nodded with a forced smile, feeling slightly curious about the girl but quickly went home.
But this wasn’t the last time. The same thing was happening but now the roles were reversed. Pinocchio wondered if his best friend was replacing him and he couldn’t help but feel a little hurt. Maybe even a bit jealous. Lampwick kept blowing him off for Tigerlily no matter how many times he tried to invite him out. He was starting to think that they might be even more than friends… “Sorry kid. Maybe next time.”
That was his usual response.
He was now convinced. His place was being taken by the girl Lampwick kept hanging out with. And lately Alice had been busy so he had nobody to turn to for comfort. He spent his weekend with nothing but a bucket of ice cream.
The two were drifting apart, but they weren’t the only ones who noticed. Alice and Tigerlily were worried about the boys, wondering what they should do.
One evening, Alice and Pinocchio were on their way to the new garden that opened to the public when they happened to bump into Tigerlily and Lampwick. The tension was high, so thick that it was suffocating. The two boys glanced at each other, nodding before walking in opposite directions. The girls started panicking and shared a look, wondering what they could do to fix this.
“So… You’re Alice”, Tigerlily said with a hint of sass.
“I am…” the blonde girl mumbled.
“Look, I don’t know much about you except how you’re stealing Lampwick’s friend-”
“Stealing!? I don’t understand what you mean.”
Tigerlily sighed, shaking her head in annoyance. “Because of you and Pinocchio, he thinks he’s losing his best friend.”
“W-well… Pinocchio keeps being ignored by him because of you!”
They glared at each other before Alice tilted her head down to calm herself.
“Look, there’s no use blaming each other. How about we form a truce and find a way to fix this.”
Tigerlily nodded, holding out her hand for Alice to shake it.
“Fine. What do you propose?”
Alice cupped her chin before lightly tapping it, as if it would help her think any better.
“I… Err… I’m drawing a blank”, she finally sighed.
They both feel defeated, both hoping for some sort of sign or guidance…
“Well, don’t you two look like sour ducklings”, a silky woman’s voice called out, catching the two off guard.
Alice and Tigerlily looked at each other in disbelief, wondering if they’re just hearing things.
“Awww, don’t make those faces! We aren’t here to harm you”, a more chipper lady added with a giggle.
“Who’s speaking?” Alice responded.
A puff of smoke surrounded the ground like a set of magical clouds, masking their vision and making them blink rapidly. A pair of silhouettes of gorgeous women could be seen through the steam. With a chuckle, the women reveal themselves to the girls as they tower over them. One had a huge beehive of wine red hair covered in fruits as she had a playful smile on her face. Such a fun aura coated her and you could feel excited just looking at her. Her chubby face made her rather cute. The other woman appeared so unbelievably graceful that it was intimidating. Her long features made her feel so mature and wise. Her magenta crown and flowy dress sparkled like gems under the sun, almost like she was a fairy. Her curly blonde hair fell at her sides like water waves at a romantic beach.
“Hera and Hestia at your services!” the cheerful red haired woman sang.
“And you two must be Alice and Tigerlily. We’ve been keeping a close eye on you girls”, Hera purred.
The two were stunned at the sight of these goddesses and gasped from their beauty. Who knew people could be so gorgeous?
“Keeping a close eye on us? You mean stalking right?” Tigerlily snapped, trying to regain her composure.
Alice elbowed her lightly to signal for her to stop acting so defensive. She flashed them a smile and kept staring at them, curious and tempted to learn more about them. “Why were you spying on us?”
“I guess you could say we were rather bored”, Hera shrugged.
“So you just happened to overhear us?”
“Yes, child. We did.”
“Really? Then why did you come down and tell us all this?”
“Again, we were bored.”
“Why were you bored?”
Hera was a bit irritated by the amount of questions already. Were all humans so chatty and full of questions? She looked over at Hestia to motion for her to continue on for her.
“We’ll answer all your other queries later on. After all, you have quite a problem on your minds, right?” Hestia asked in hopes Alice would turn her attention to that.
“Yes, we do. So please help us. We don’t want Lampwick and Pinocchio to fight anymore”, Tigerlily chimed in.
Hera thought for a moment so they could figure out how to solve this dilemma.
“Ah yes, mortal friendships. I have a plan but you must listen…”
Tigerlily and Alice nodded obediently before coming close, carefully paying attention to the plan that’ll end this fight. They both felt nervous about pulling it off together. They were worried about making things worse, but they had to do something.
All that’s left now is to put the plan into action. Lampwick was headed to the park after Tigerlily invited him to hang out again. Since he hasn’t been hanging out with his best friend lately, he’s been aching for a distraction. The day was bright and sunny with a light breeze. The birds were flying by without a care as their song filled his ears. A truly wonderful day. Yet his gut kept warning him of a storm. He shook off his feelings of cautiousness as he arrived.
“Lampwick! Over here!” Tigerlily exclaimed as she waved in his direction.
He spotted her sitting comfortably on the grass and hastily went over to her. They shared a quick hug with each other before sitting down together.
“How have you been feeling?” she asked.
“Ehh… I’m alright now that you’re here”, he smiled, returning to his laid back gestures.
“Really? I’m glad!”
As the two chatted for a few minutes, Pinocchio and Alice weren’t too far away, taking a stroll together for their date. He was enjoying their conversation but Alice’s eyes were wandering around the park, scanning for Tigerlily and Lampwick.
“And then the lion ate the guy’s-”
Pinocchio’s excited smile faded when he realised she wasn’t paying attention anymore. He huffed and pouted, waiting for her to look at him again, but it wasn’t working and he was getting impatient.
“Alice!” he yelled.
She flinched and snapped her head back to him, smiling innocently.
“Yes? Sorry, I thought I saw a… weird looking bird. I zoned out a little.”
“You’re the weird bird. You’ve been zoning out constantly. Are you upset at me?”
Her eyes widened at the question and she opened her mouth, about to tell him the truth, but she couldn’t. Tigerlily would be so mad if she messed this up.
“N-no! I’m not upset! It’s just… uhm…”
She had to keep him distracted for a bit longer until she’s close enough to the other couple. Tigerlily was trying really hard to make sure Lampwick wouldn’t notice anything strange either.
“Alice. Be honest with me…” She turned red from shame before turning to Lampwick and pretending to do a genuine gasp.
“Oh my! Tigerlily and Lampwick! What a coincidence seeing you here on a date”, she lied.
Tigerlily feigned surprise too to sell the idea. Meanwhile, the boys were glaring at each other, refusing to say a word in defiance.
“Oh, hey you two! Are you on a date as well?” she remarked.
“Why, yes we are!” Alice grinned.
“Then why don’t you join us?”
Lampwick’s eyes were bulging out their sockets in disbelief while Pinocchio motioned to Alice to say no by tugging on her dress gently.
“We would love to!”
As Alice sat down beside Tigerlily, Pinocchio chose to sit far away from Lampwick. They hadn’t spoken in a while and things felt unbearably awkward between them. The pair of girls waited for them to say something to each other, but of course they remained silent.
“So… um… Uh… Isn’t today nice or whatever?” Tigerlily commented.
“What do you think, Lampwick?”
He crossed his arms and grumbled under his breath, avoiding eye contact with his supposed best friend. The girls were getting tired of this and didn’t know what else to do. But they had to stick with the plan.
“Tigerlily, I have a girl emergency. Help me out please?”
She nodded as they left the boys behind alone with each other. The silence was more painful than a haystack of needles. It was heavier than a million elephants.
“You seem happy”, Pinocchio finally said.
“So do you”, Lampwick scoffed.
“What’s your problem? You’ve been ignoring me ever since you got a girlfriend!” “I’ve been ignoring you!? You’ve been ignoring me! That Alice has been distracting you like crazy!”
“How could you say that?”
“How could you abandon me!?”
The patrons of the park gave them strange looks and were curious as to why these random guys were arguing. They all started leaving to go to the other side of the park to avoid this distasteful row.
“You did it first! You kept blowing me off and I thought you didn’t care about me anymore!”
Lampwick was shaken by his claim, trying to process this accusation. Ignoring him first? Was that really the truth?
“Pinocchio, why didn’t you tell me? I’m your best bud”, he whispered in a hurt tone.
“You looked super happy and I didn’t wanna ruin it…Then I met Alice and I thought you’d be better without me bothering you anymore…”
The two shared a glance of understanding with tears in their eyes. Then they both embraced while Tigerlily and Alice watched from afar with huge smiles.
“I missed you, Lampwick.”
“I missed you too, Pinocchio.”
They pulled away from the hug and felt much better about everything. Alice and Tigerlily started going over back to them to hang out as a group like the true friends they were. It had been a week since then and they were hanging out on the streets just goofing around with each other when a certain blonde haired boy was roaming around, freshly back from his “Vacation” . He was scanning the area for his friends and was humming to himself. Pinocchio happened to glance over in the boy’s direction, tapping his best friend’s shoulder to get his attention.
“Alexander!” they both called out.
The blonde boy rushed over to them to give them a hug.
“How have you guys been!?” he squealed.
He looked over their shoulders, making eye contact with Tigerlily and Alice.
“Hi. I’m Alice, Pinocchio’s girlfriend!”
“Tigerlily. I’m with Lampwick.”
Alexander’s eyes were blank at hearing those words.
“WHAT!? YOU TWO HAVE GIRLFRIENDS NOW!? HOW MUCH DID I MISS!?”
The rest of them all shared a cheerful laugh with each other as Alexander bombarded them with questions. The End

Oooh I’m intrigued by that chicken/peaches/rice dish you mentioned that you make 😯😯😯 is it like a sweet peach sauce or just like chunks of peaches with chicken over rice??
Its so delicious! This is how I make it:
season the chicken however you like and brown both sides in the pan.
cook the rice as directed. We use white rice because it soaks up all the juices.
one the rice is cooked, and chicken is browned on both sides, place the rice on the bottom of a cooking dish and the chicken on top.
add butter, chicken broth, and the juices from the peaches (I use canned peaches) in the cooking dish with the chicken and rice. I like to drown the chicken and rice because it will soak all up while cooking and makes the rice mushy and sooooo good. Add the peaches from the can to the side.
cook for about half an hour at 425 degrees. At the last ten or so minutes, add the peaches and let those cook with everything. If it still seems a bit watery after the full half hour, you can put it back in the over for a few minutes.
ENJOY!
Hopefully this makes sense! I would love to know if you make it and how it turns out! It's a big family recipe in my husband's side of the family but I've put my own spin on it. Sometimes we have corn for a side or make chicken sandwiches.

Amazon: San Rafael Rio Amazonas
To my surprise, the breakfast on my final morning at Maniti Camp was pancakes served with sugar cane syrup and butter, as well as the usual spread of bread and jam, oranges and bananas. I sat with an Australian guy for breakfast and he told me about how he was living in the Netherlands at the moment, I shared about my time living in Amsterdam. He was quite full of himself though so this 20 minute exchange was more than enough! I took a quick cold shower and got ready for my last little excursion which would be to San Rafael Rio Amazonas, a village just down the river. It was a functional “large” village with power from 6pm to 12am (so fancy!). They also had a school which taught from kindergarten to age 17-18, several shops, a butterfly breeding facility (which brought in the tourist/government money). Rodrigo told me how teachers can live in the village for free with housing provided by the school, earning around 2500-3000 soles ($650-800 USD) per month but trips to Iquitos cost 20 soles (about $5 USD) each way making it a very isolating experience if they are from the city and not used to jungle life. Rodrigo bought us a couple cups of an orange coloured juice that a lady was selling in the town centre. I was a little hesitant to try it at first but it was delicious and refreshing! We then walked all around the town, seeing trees with starfruit, coconut, more giant limes, and the ayahuasca root. When the root is cut, the pattern inside looks like a flower or rose. It doesn’t grow naturally, so the shamans will plant the root where they need it to grow and easily harvest for their ceremonies. We reached a water tap at the edge of the town, they have a communal filtered water tap where everyone can fill up their daily water allowance at 6am and 6pm when the tap is unlocked. Once back at the camp, I finished packing up my bag and had lunch of spicy fish nuggets with yellow rice, plantain chips, and watermelon then went to sit and wait for the boat back to Iquitos. I took my seat opposite the American couple and spent most of the ride judging them. She put on a baby voice and seemed very immature so I am not surprised they back out of the ayahuasca ceremony. He was still wearing his heavy black jeans, but had finally ditched the long sleeve shirt for a singlet. Besides us tourists, a bunch of locals rode the boat with us to the city, there was even a guy who brought a chicken with its legs bound and was laid down under the seat for the journey. Once back in Iquitos, Rodrigo arranged a mototaxi to take me to my next hotel, I bid him farewell and I could then enjoy my air conditioning and comfortable bed at last!

My grocery list
I’m putting my grocery list in a blog post so that others can get a specific picture of how the things I buy help save me money and simplify my life. You may notice that some things are in odd categories-I’m not a nutritionist. Also, you’ll probably notice that there is very few premade items, mostly sauces. Hope it is somewhat interesting. There is a copy and paste-able list at the bottom. I have also written a blog post with recipes I commonly use these ingredients in.
Meat
I buy meats that have multiple uses. My regulars are: flank steak, chicken thighs, ground beef (80/20), eggs, and fish. I use flank steak because it is lean and a good cut, but still inexpensive. I like chicken thigh because they are less expensive and more moist than breasts, but just as versatile a protein. Ground beef is good for tacos, burgers, and adding to dishes. I like 80/20 because it isn’t too dry to cook on its own and it is cheaper. Eggs are a great source of easy protein and fairly inexpensive. The kind of fish I get depends on the prices. I always look at the prices so I know when there’s a deal. I don’t buy if there are no deals. I like fish, but it can be very pricey. Especially for meat I would recommend going to a Costco business center or Chef Store. I buy in bulk and portion it into reusable bags. 
Veggies and fruits
Staples: Avocado, Banana, Tomato, Romaine, Apple (Fuji or Gala), Potato, Garlic, Onion, Brussel Sprouts, Asparagus, Broccoli (frozen), Peas (frozen), Corn (frozen) 
Variable: Sweet potato, Blueberries, Grapes, Raspberries, Mango, Cauliflower, Zucchini, Spaghetti Squash, Mushrooms, Sweet Peppers, Carrots, Turnips
Seasonal/Occasional: Ginger, Cherries, Grapefruit, Watermelon, Artichoke, Celery, Pineapple
Spices
Spices accumulate over time and do not need to be purchased frequently. I will list them according to how important/versatile I think they are.
Staples: Cumin, Paprika, Thyme, Rosemary, Salt, Pepper, Cinnamon, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder
Good to have: Turmeric, Fennel, Nutmeg, Cloves, Chili Powder, Cayenne, Red Pepper, Parsley, Chives, Oregano, Sage, Montreal Steak Seasoning, Sesame Seeds
Used sparingly: Cardamom, Seasoned Salt
Carbs
I don’t eat wheat-it just disagrees with me. I substitute pastas with mung bean noodles. We eat a lot of tacos with corn tortillas. I occasionally use rice. I keep walnuts, pecans, almonds, cashews, peanuts (in-shell), and sunflower seeds on hand for snacking, adding to salads, and grinding up to make breadings. 
Sauces
I have a lot of sauces since they keep well. Those include, but are probably not limited to: ketchup, mustard (deli, yellow, sometimes honey), mayo, soy, oyster, Worchester, A1, peanut, sweet chili, tapatio, crystal, lemon juice, lime juice, teriyaki, BBQ, jelly, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla flavoring, 
Oils and vinegar
Avocado oil for high heat, olive oil for not so hot, coconut oil, lard for seasoning the cast iron, balsamic (which I also make a glaze from), apple cider vinegar. I keep white vinegar under the sink for cleaning and crafts. 
Dairy
Heavy whipping cream is delicious and can be used in anything calling for milk-watered down if necessary, but milk cannot be whipped. Occasionally fancy cheese for cheese and meats date nights. Dried non-fat milk. Sour cream. Greek yogurt-plain or honey flavor. Butter.
Canned/jarred
Soups, tuna, spam (for musubi), beans (black and refried), enchilada sauce, spaghetti sauce, artichoke hearts, pickles, jalapenos, olives (black and green/Kalamata)
Other
Corn starch, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, bouillon, tortilla chips, salsa
I just replace these things as they run out. It is a diverse enough list to make many recipes, but small enough that it isn’t too costly nor strenuous to maintain. As I run out of things, I add it to my list. When the list is long enough, or has items that are of greater importance, I go shopping.
Just Lists
Staples:
flank steak, chicken thighs, ground beef (80/20), eggs, fish,  Avocado, Banana, Tomato, Romaine, Apple (Fuji or Gala), Potato, Garlic, Onion, Brussel Sprouts, Asparagus, Broccoli (frozen), Peas (frozen), Corn (frozen),  Cumin, Paprika, Thyme, Rosemary, Salt, Pepper, Cinnamon, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, corn tortillas, mung bean noodles, rice, walnuts, pecans, almonds, sunflower seeds, ketchup, mustards, mayo, soy, tapatio, lemon juice, lime juice, teriyaki, BBQ, jelly, peanut butter, avocado oil, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, heavy whipping cream, sour cream, butter, tuna, beans, enchilada sauce, spaghetti sauce, pickles, jalapenos, olives, corn starch, baking soda, bouillon, tortilla chips
Extras:
Sweet potato, Blueberries, Grapes, Raspberries, Mango, Cauliflower, Zucchini, Spaghetti Squash, Mushrooms, Sweet Peppers, Carrots, Turnips, Turmeric, Fennel, Nutmeg, Cloves, Chili Powder, Cayenne, Red Pepper, Parsley, Chives, Oregano, Sage, Montreal Steak Seasoning, Sesame Seeds, cashews, peanuts,  oyster sauce, Worchester, A1, peanut sauce, sweet chili sauce, crystal hot sauce, maple syrup, vanilla flavor, coconut oil, balsamic vinegar, dried non-fat milk, Greek yogurt, canned soups, spam, artichoke hearts, salsa
