One of my most out of pocket (+ self-indulgent, naturally) headcanons for cooking crush right now is that Prem (Cooking Crush) and Tops (Ingredients the Series) go to the same culinary school and maybe they're even friends

thinking about grimwalker-y things again, this time in regards to selkidomus scales and boiling water

bonus:

my first sandwich was uh. a Travesty to say the least

this is my entire stance on the "american food is bad" discourse summed up

Rice was rejected by the Council of Sparty's Innards, so reported to our vet this morning. She's not worried as long as Sparty has an appetite, drinks, pees, and seems relatively chipper, so there's no immediate change of plans other than dropping the rice idea altogether and sticking with very low volumes of a diluted gastrointestinal wet food my sister picked up for me. If she doesn't keep that either or gets worse, we're going in tomorrow evening to consider an x-ray just to rule out foreign objects, but neither of us really feel like that fits the symptoms here.

Also discussed my semi-controversial use of yogurt as a stomach aid and got a thumbs up on that - especially considering she spews bile on a normal day on an empty stomach.

Might fuck around and try to make another batch of mushroom and caramelized onion pastries later

Why can’t you be a little bit more romantic? Aren’t I romantic enough? Then, show me how to hug.

North: You bought a taco?

York: Yes

North: From the same truck that hit Wash?!

York, with a mouthful of taco: Well, me starving ain't gonna help him

The Komakusa blooms of Madame Komakusa

Sannyo has a surprising amount of interest in branding.

clothing, betting markers, trays. Maybe it's like a modern casino? it would be funny to think she offers cups or coasters with that logo too.

It shouldn't come as much surprise that when Sannyo is looking for an appropriate logo for the Komakusa Den, she went with her namesake.

The "Komakusa" or Dicentra peregrina. Is a mountain flower that grows in rough environments. it's a flower associated with something unobtainable, a supreme beauty, or a prize out of reach.

A smart choice for a logo, it is an incredibly distinct looking flower after all. (Yet it's hairstyle is somehow incredibly familiar looking)

Best Siblings Round 1: Pat & Pa (Bad Buddy) vs Tops & Thunder (Ingredients: The Series)

[Submitted Reasons Under Cut]

Pat & Pa: "SUCH an amazing sibling dynamic. They’re so supportive of each other and always there for each other, especially when it counts the most. Pat being able to confide in Pa about dating Pran at a time when he can’t confide with many others and them having gay double dates together with their respective s/o’s is sibling goals. Their little squabbles and Pa’s awful timing are so fun to watch, too. Also, just the fact that there was the whole plot line where Pat was trying to navigate his old crush on Ink with the slow realization that he has feelings for Pran, and Pa, the entire time, is just going, “Yeah, it’s totally understandable that you would have feelings for Ink, she’s just so amazing and cool and wonderful and beautiful, who wouldn’t?” before Pa realizes HER feelings for Ink. Queer disaster siblings if I’ve ever seen any!"

Tops & Thunder: [no reason submitted]

Fig and apple pie with pecan-cardamom crust. The figs and the apples were both foraged, which is always fun. Smells super good !

It was supposed to be in a pie tin, but I had 3/4 of a pound of figs rather than the half pound the recipe called for. And then needing to scale the recipe complicated the already confusing situation of reading while dyslexic. So I largely gave up on reading, and this is more inspired by the recipe than anything else, but here it is nonetheless: Fig, Apple, and Walnut Tarts. Anyway, it ended up too big to fit in a pie tin, hence the cobbler dish.

Arc 1: Paris

Kim runs to Paris and into the arms of his ex-lover, hoping to escape the pain of his breakup with Porchay.

Ooh why don’t you recommend the glossy topcoat from holo taco?

I just don't think the quality is very nice!! the regular glossy taco has a persistent habit of clumping, bubbling, and becoming stringy! the super glossy taco contains toluene, which, for me, the harm potentially being done isn't worth the quick-dry benefit of the formula. So they're both products I'd recommend skipping! I also think that holo taco is in a unique position, as a brand with a visible personality behind it, and while I think most of their formulas are really very good, people are more willing to sugarcoat their opinions on the less-good products, the way you'd soften negative opinions toward a Person rather than a Brand

🙃

Purina apparently discontinued and then reformulated the only canned food I've found so far that Griffin's extraordinarily sensitive tummy can tolerate, adding one of his potential worst allergens to nearly the top of the formulation list. I have sent a Karen-like e-mail to Purina, and am now having to have five million tabs open on different pet food websites to put the ingredient lists of everything under a microscope to try and find something remotely close.
