#try a new recipe

I think the pushback on fics where kink negotiations happen is over correcting sometimes.

Yeah there's a lot of these fuckers who don't know the traffic light system and it's legit hilarious when they suddenly do - but sometimes a character is the kind of person who would. Sometimes kink, like real life kink, makes perfect sense with the characters in question.

Yes kinky people like to read the fantasy unadulterated version of their kink sometimes - but also? I'd love to read a fic about a somno bottom who is enthusiastically about it and negotiates with their partner exactly what they want and then gets it just 🤌

I doubt I'm alone here. Kink lifestyle can be an interesting subject to navigate in a story and not every instance of an attempt to touch it is someone doing their moral duty to show Ethical Kink Happening regardless of how well it fits the story being told ( - although a lot are. I'm not here to argue the pushback and/or loudly pointing and laughing isn't warranted at all. I'm simply pointing out kink as thematic exploration or character work gets sometimes painted with the same brush and it all gets labeled unnecessary.)

Thinking of how a birthday party on the ship with the 41st would look like 🧐?

This is why they never get anything done.

Fun fact:

“Halva” is a type of confectionary. It’s originally from around Iran but has spread out to include other places such as the middle east and south asia.

Areas that, in the DC universe, are often operated in by the League of Assassins.

Which means that in a Danyal al Ghul AU, Danny would have a pretty good chance of knowing about it. Heck, it might even be one of his favorite foods (or could at least carry nostalgia for the good moments from his early upbringing)

And I think that could be used for some funny puns what with how similar “halva” and “halfa” are.

Feeling fed up and annoyed so used that energy to clean the oven and subsequently my flat because action is the antidote to despair and I’m still feeling a little down but my space is clean plus I get the satisfaction of a clean space

do you have some favourite go-to recipes? i would love any of your recommendations!! xx

we eat the same few things on rotation in our house, as I do all the cooking, and I like a) one-pot meals, and b) pasta, preferably. most of these are fairly low effort but you get a lot of bang for your buck flavour-wise, and they're endlessly customisable!

also, listen, I don't do measurements. follow your heart and taste as you go.

the tiktok viral baked feta pasta from like 4 years ago ingredients: plum or cherry tomatoes, a block of feta (or boursin if you're feeling flush), garlic, pasta optional extras: spinach, cannellini beans, chili crisp recipe: whack your tomatoes, sliced garlic, and olive oil in a big dish. nestle your feta in there. I like to add a tin of drained cannellini beans at this point to bulk it out/cut down on the pasta/make the texture confusing, but you don't have to. stick it in the oven at like 180-200C for half an hour ish. after half an hour boil your pasta. retrieve your oven dish, stir everything up to desired consistency (I'm a chunk girl). you can add spinach while you do this for extra greenery, or a massive spoonful of chili crisp for heat and crunch, but it's good on its own. add the pasta and some pasta water if you need. voila. you simply cannot go wrong.

gochujang and hummus pasta ingredients: gochujang (this keeps forever in the fridge so it's a good kitchen investment), a tub of hummus, garlic, white onion, parm optional extras: parsley recipe: chop onion and garlic, sling them in a pan with butter and a splash of EVOO. when the onion is sufficiently sweaty and nice, add a dollop of gochujang (the bigger the dollop the spicier the end result) and stir it all in, followed by the whole tub of hummus. boil the pasta. add the cooked pasta to the pan, along with some pasta water, a shit load of grated parm, and garnish with parsley. my friend sent me a vegan version of this recipe about a year ago and I've made the non-vegan version roughly once a week since. it is so fucking delicious. butter bean thing ingredients: butter beans, garlic, red onion, tomato paste, cream/double cream/greek yog, lemon, sourdough/nice crusty bread optional extras: parsley recipe: throw chopped garlic and onion in a pan with butter and EVOO and really let them sweat it out. add tinned butter beans WITH THE JUICE. yes, I know. add in a few good squirty piles of tomato paste and stir, then let it all heat through. at this point start toasting your crusty bread of choice because I ALWAYS forget until the end and then I'm rushed. I recommend splurging for the good bread, slathered with melty butter. add whatever creamy thing you have to hand (the og recipe I saw said double cream, but I usually have greek yoghurt in and that does the job) to the beans, along with some lemon juice, garnish with parsley if you like and serve. use the bread as a giant spoon. you are welcome.

sausage soup/stew? casserole?? ingredients: celery, white onion, carrot, sausage/s, cherry tomatoes, tinned tomatoes, chicken broth, parm optional extras: creamy thing of your choice, spinach, orzo recipe: dice the celery, carrot and onion (mirepoix!), and throw it in a big big big pot with some EVOO. now: I get a pack of nice sausages and either mash or chop them depending on how much energy I have, but if you live somewhere with a butcher or whatever you can save your mashing arm and just get ground sausage. throw in the ground, mashed, or chopped sausage and cook for a bit. follow with a tin of chopped tomatoes and chicken broth. I usually put in about a litre. chop the cherry toms and toss them in. follow with a load of grated parm. if you have any parm rinds, throw em in and leave it to bubble away. this doesn't sound like much but it is so good. the longer you leave it the more flavourful it will be! towards the end I like to add in whatever creamy thing is in the fridge (double cream, greek yog, milk), along with lots of chopped spinach and a cup of orzo to really bulk it up. we can happily live on this for DAYS, especially if we have leftover fancy crusty bread from the gochujang pasta. oh and remember to take out the parm rind.

thai chicken curryish ingredients: chicken (thigh/breast), garlic, ginger, yellow peppers, spring onion, cashew nuts, rice, coconut milk, chicken broth optional extras: sriracha, coriander recipe: I love this one cos it is SO quick and SOOOO easy. cut chicken into chunks and brown it in the pot. whip it back out and throw in the chopped garlic and ginger (I have a tube of ginger paste in the fridge cos WHO has the time?) with a big glug of EVOO, then a cup of rice. jasmine works, but I've also used risotto rice. toss in the chopped peppers, spring onion and cashew nuts (if I have the energy I'll chop the nuts, but you can put em in as-is), then add coconut milk (a tin's amount, be that an actual tin or some of the melted stuff that costs 1/4 of the price - thanks Asian supermarket!) and chicken broth. put the browned chicken back in, give it all a stir, cover it, and stick it in the oven for like 25ish mins. here’s the NYT recipe if you need liquid measurements/an actionable recipe that isn’t me riffing. (as always, 12ft.io/ in front of the address to bypass the paywall.) serve it with sriracha squirted all over it (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) and coriander if you like it.

delicious little rice waffle ingredients: leftover jasmine rice, chili crisp, an egg, kewpie mayonnaise, sesame oil, spring onion, A WAFFLE MAKER optional extras: furikake recipe: full disclosure, you need a little waffle maker for this. mix the rice with chili crisp, a little sesame oil, and egg yolk. dollop it into the waffle maker and cook. garnish with kewpie mayo, sliced spring onion and some furikake if you have it, or just toasted sesame seeds if you have those, or neither! delicious little spicy umami snack, my beloved.

tuna melt of dreams ingredients: you know what's in a tuna melt recipe: swap the butter on the outside of the bread for kewpie mayonnaise and thank me later.

ADDENDUM: this goes without saying for me but sadly I know it does not for everybody: SEASON YOUR FOOD WITH SALT. IT WON'T MAKE YOUR FOOD SALTY IT WILL MAKE IT DELICIOUS. COOK YOUR PASTA IN SALT. WHEN IN DOUBT, ADD SOME SALT. THANK YOU.

There is something so sweet about getting accustomed to living on your own, with the person you love dearly.

If you had still been living with your mother, she probably would've been scolding the two of you as of right now.

The kitchen was a mess, flour coating all of the surfaces and even sticking with little to no effort against the tiles. You couldn't help the laughter erupt from your lungs after taking a peek at him: egg yolk stains on his black shirt, flour lightening his hair and the stripe of fresh, melted chocolate adorning his cheek.

You felt youthful again, scared to get caught by your parents that followed with a lecture.

But there were no parents, no lectures. In fact, it was just the two of you, in your shared house, in your very own kitchen that you didn't mind messing up once in a while.

Not even at three in the morning.

help me identify this mysterious vegetable/herb?

some friends of ours are out of town & thus we have been bequeathed their unit of their Weekly Farm Share Bounty

it includes: kale, summer squash, arugula, radishes, fresh garlic, and this fuckin thing:

anyone know what this... is... exactly? (we're in the US pacific northwest if that's relevant)

we each tried a leaf and it's spicy and interesting in a very different & unfamiliar way

and we wish to cook it in a way to maximize its efficacy

please & thank you
