You get a lot of super heavy asks sometimes. I hope it's ok to ask some lighter questions for fun. I don't know why they're all food based. I think I'm just hungry haha.

Do you prefer jelly, jams, preserves, or marmalades? What's your favorite flavor of them?

I tried boysenberry jam the other day and it was...uh...a flavor for sure.

Do you like chunky or creamy peanut butter (if you eat peanut butter)? If you had to choose between a peanut butter and banana sandwich or a fluffernutter (marshmallow fluff and peanut butter for anyone wondering), which would you pick? PB/banana/honey/chia seeds is a personal favorite. I feel very bougie when I eat that lol.

What's your favorite pizza topping? Do you like NY style, thin crust, sicilian, deep dish, or pan pizza? Have you ever tried cauliflower crust pizza? I feel like we should just leave cauliflower alone before it gets a superiority complex. Also, why cauliflower crust? What about broccoli crust? Carrot crust? Parsnip? Potato? (Ooo not gonna lie, a hashbrown crust breakfast pizza could be delicious. Hashbrown crust, sun dried tomato sauce, sunny side up eggs, arugula, maybe some Canadian bacon, some cheddar cheese...I might be on to something here...).

Do you have a good challah bread recipe? Have you ever used challah to make French toast?

Eggs over easy, scrambled, sunny side up, poached, fried, soft boiled, or hard boiled? If scrambled, do you add milk? (I learned recently IHOP adds, of all things, pancake batter to their eggs to make them light and fluffy).

Favorite type of cheese?

Lastly, iced tea, lemonade, or fruit punch?

It depends on the fruit. Lemon curd is incredible, and a good Concord grape jelly (like real jelly not artificial flavor jelly) is really good. I used to always take the orange marmalade jar from the jams and jellies assortment that one of the car companies sent freelancers on the holidays, too. My favorite, though, is my mom's strawberry jam. I haven't had any in like 4 years, bc we don't live close enough to get any, and that makes me sad.

Again, it depends on the usage. For peanut butter cookies, chunky peanut butter. For sandwiches, creamy by preference, but chunky isn't the end of the world. Peanut butter/banana is pretty good but if I want salty/sweet with bananas, I'd prefer to split a banana in half lengthwise and put garlic hummus on it, then pile clover sprouts on that. It's crunchy/sweet/salty/green. Very nice flavor/texture contrast.

I like white pizza with grilled artichoke hearts and baby bella mushrooms. I used to really love ham and pineapple but for obvious reasons I don't eat that anymore. (I love flavor contrasts.)

I used to love thin crust, and it's my mom's favorite, but that doesn't work as well gluten-free. My favorite pizza type is the type I can eat. Except for Chicago deep dish, it's just not my thing.

Cauliflower crust is just fine. The reason for using cauliflower is that it has a very neutral taste and is low-carb and gluten free, which none of the other choices really are, not all 3. Hash browns actually make a really good pie crust for a gluten-free quiche; I make that every so often for dinner.

I have a couple of very average gluten-free challah recipes, and we usually buy ours from New Cascadia, a local bakery. Emet makes challah French toast out of the leftovers every week.

Over easy, soft or hard boiled, scrambled, sunny side up, poached... I just really like eggs. Buttermilk in scrambled eggs is really good, it gives the flavor a certain something. A little sharpness kind of like cheddar cheese does.

Favorite kind of cheese: the kind in my hand and about to be put in my mouth.

Lemonade. Iced tea just tastes like chewing a teabag after all the good tea has been brewed out of it, and the taste of fruit punch is heavily associated with being given fruit punch with aspartame in it as a child, getting migraines and throwing up, and then being told I'm "Being Dramatic" by adults. It tastes of gaslight, nausea and powerlessness. No thanks.

Church

Na Jaemin x female reader

Warnings: dom!Jaemin, Sub!reader, Overstim, Degradation, Unprotected sex (wrap it b4 you tap it kids), Oral (male and female receiving.), Edging.

Based on: Church by Chase Atlantic

You were sleeping at your boyfriend Jaemins house, as his parents were on a business trip, and yours has kicked you of the house long ago.

As you woke up, rubbing the sleepiness off of your tired eyes, you noticed Jaemin, who you had fallen asleep cuddling, had already woken up. Knowing him, he was probably at the gym, so you decided to throw one of his t-shirts on and make him food for when he gets back. As you walk past his mirror, you get a glimpse of how baggy Jaemins shirt is on you, and you picture him wearing it, it hugs his muscles tightly, which is very pleasing to the eye.

You decide to make Jaemin a full English breakfast, since it's your favourite thing about going to see your English relatives. You put full effort into it, you make him fried tomatoes and all. Sadly, there was no leftovers to make bubble and squeak with. Most people think bubble and squeak is old people food, but you happened to quite enjoy it.

As you're plating up the hearty meal, you hear keys in the door, you quickly put his plate on the table with his drink, and run to hug him as he comes in. When he sees you, he smiled brightly, and you enjoy the warmth of his body against yours, although he is a bit sweaty. "Miss me that much? I only went to the gym" he giggles at you. You look up at him pouting, tracing circles round the collar of his t-shirt "I love you." You just stare into his pretty brown eyes for a second, getting lost before saying "I made you breakfast!" He raised his eyebrow at you, confused at why you sounded so excited. He opened his mouth to say something, before you playfully kissed him to shut him up. You covered his eyes quickly and pulled him into the kitchen and saying "tada!" as you let him see again "it's a full English breakfast, even got hashbrowns" you smiled at him again.

He eyes you before saying "for a minute I thought you were gonna let me eat you out" "shower first mister, plus that's desert, you can only have it if you eat your mushrooms like a good boy" He doesn't like your attitude, so he says in a sarcastic tone "yes mummy." You curse under your breath as you watch him roll his eyes. That is, until he trys his English breakfast, and smiles. "You like it?" you say happily. " Delicious, is this why you love visiting your English relatives? " he says. "Yeah" you nod enthusiastically, "plus, if you think this is good, you should try a Gregg's pizza or sausage roll, or any type of British sweets. Also, my English relatives like me more than my parents do" your tone sounds sadder when you say the last part, missing your dad's embrace, and how he always making you feel better when you cried.

Jaemin had finished his breakfast, and he put his plate on the kitchen side by the dishwasher, he caresses your hair and looks lovingly into your eyes. You kiss him passionately, it starts out loving and soft, but it gets rough and lustful. Jaemin puts his hands up your [his] tshirt to grab your breasts, and as his hand travels up, he notices something. "You're wearing nothing but my tshirt" he smirks. He begins to knead your left breast making you gasp, as his free hand travels towards your pussy. He swiped his finger over your wet pussy lips, and pulled away from the kiss, making you whine. "Aww, my needy baby is already this wet for me," he mockingly pouts at you, head going down to face your heat, and you stop him. "I said not until you shower, you have to be a good boy to get your desert" you start fiddling with his hair, waiting for his reaction. He looks up at you. "Little brat" he spat "You're gonna regret this baby" You somehow managed to get the courage to push him away, you knew it would get you a punishment, but maybe that's what you wanted. He looked at you, a mix of anger and lust in his eyes "my little whore needs to stop leading me on, you knew forgetting your underwear would get you sex, you wanted it didn't you? Such a slut" he smirked, thinking this would break you. He was wrong. You decided to piss him off further, you looked at him and said "I'll keep leading you on, if you keep leading me into your room" it was your turn to smirk. However, to your surprise, Jaemin didn't angrily fuck you there and then, he threw you over his shoulder and started upstairs. "Where are you taking me" you enquire, knowing you've put him off his room. "Back to church" he replies. You had know idea what that meant, but you were thrown into the counter top in the bathroom soon enough. He pulled off all of his clothes hastily, and you pulled his tshirt off your body, not wanting anything rougher than what you're already about to receive. You led back on the counter after throwing no shirt across the room. He licked a stripe of your pussy, making you somehow wetter than you already were. You moaned lightly at the pleasure he was giving you, as he sucked and licked your clit. As he started sucking harsher, the knot in your stomach began to grow, you felt your legs shake as he sucks harsher, and just as you're about to cum, he stops. You whine loudly and he giggles to himself. You glare at him, but he takes no notice. "On your knees babygirl" he says in a slightly harsh tone. You drop to your knees, and start giving his tip kitten licks. "The more you tease, the more slaps you get later."

You decide this is gonna be fun, and so, you keep teasing. "One, two" he counts as you tease him for longer. Eventually he gets to ten, and that's when you take him all in, gagging slightly. "Good girl" he says, slightly moaning. He tried to hold his moans back, knowing that it's what you wanted to hear. You quickly picked up on this, watching him bite down on his lips. So you stop sucking and take him out with a loud pop. "What was that for" he says, almost whiny. You, quite enjoying the affect you have on him, lock eyes with him and pout "I like hearing your moans" "20 slaps it is" he replies. You fully take him back in, and as you start sucking, he decided to face fuck you, which makes you gag. He moans in his sexy deep voice. Occasionally letting out low groans, which were like music to your ears. He keeps face fucking you, you letting him take over. You let out a moan at the feeling of his cock in your mouth, which makes him twitch in your mouth. He shoots white string of cum down your throat, moaning loudly as he does so. When he's emptied his load, you make eye contact with him and swallow it. Standing up slowly, maintaining eye contact. "My little sluts feeling brave today, isn't she?" You ignore him "Don't ignore me baby" he says mockingly "I'll have you speaking in tongues" You lie over his lap, ass facing him, before you get into more trouble. "Count for me princess" He gives you a hard spank "one" you moan slightly, your clit pressing against his knee every time his hand hits your ass. "Ten" by now it's started to sting, but the pressure on your clit was worth it. Eventually, you make it to 20, and you turn your head to look at Jaemin. "Good girl" he says "I think you can have your reward now" You knew that what that actually meant was It's technically a punishment but I'll let you cum this time cos you took me so well. But you had no complaints.

You lay back down on the counter, as Jaemin gets on top and pounds into you without a warning, causing you to let out a loud moan. He thrusts faster and faster, managing to get deeper every time. You moan loudly and your breath but he's in your throat when he finds your g-spot. He looks pleased with himself, smirking and pounding harder. You feel your orgasm coming closer. You arch your back and your hips buck as the knot in your stomach gets tighter. Jaemin thrusts harder, repeatedly hitting you g-spot. You lose it, you're about to shut your eyes, but he makes you look at him while you cum. Moaning loudly and your legs shaking uncontrollably, you cum all over his cock and he cums inside you. You're both finished, and he continues to fuck you. He was overstimulating you, and it hurt. "Jaemin" you breath out, tears stinging at your eyes. "We ain't done yet" he says.

H-hello so uhh, top 10 boyos who are great cooks, like uhh they'll make you dinner from scratch and its good, really good food. If that's oke, thank you ❤❤❤

*SMACKS PALMS AGAINST THE TABLE* NOW THIS IS A FUCKING ASK. LET’S GO BITCH.

tfp Breakdown. The best fucking cook you will ever goddamn see. Breakdown knew nothing about cooking, until he realized that food brings people together. Then he picked some stuff online, and now, dudes fucking Gordon Ramsey in this bitch. He loves making BIG portions of stuff, and loves working with meat. You get him a nice roast, a few potatoes and onions? He can feed the entire ship easily. Not to mention he’s quite the baker boy, so he indulges his husband when his 2am chocolate cake cravings hit.

rid2015 Wildbreak. Not AS good as his dad, but he’s a competent boy. He loves making mushroom risotto, and hand pies. Breakdown is so proud of his ass, and they have little cook offs on a daily basis.

Rid2015 Thunderhoof. Not only does he look good while doing it, but boy makes some FINE Italian food. Pizzas, raviolis, eggplant parms, lasagna, and his peak masterpiece; spaghetti and meatballs. Dude makes the best meatballs, makes the sweetest tomato sauce, all with a giant ass thing of garlic bread. Seriously, you will never run out of bread, or wine. For dessert, his go to is affogato, but if he gives a shit about you, he’ll go the extra mile and make the best goddamn tiramisu you've ever fucking had. Dude and coffee and go hand and hand tbh.

Rescue bots Hightide. He’s no five star chef, but he knows how to make simple fish dishes (his favorite being clam chowder), and how to make a good, hearty bread. Its a bit salty, but you can’t help but ask for seconds. His food is meant to warm those he rescues, and it does a fair job.

tfa Blitzwing. No master, but he knows his way around the kitchen. Icy, at least. Random keeps eating the counter top, Hothead is pissed that he can’t fucking find the salt- it’s a mess. When Icy is around long enough though, he makes a damn good meat stuffed pumpkin, and can even make a nice egg pudding (he makes a decent german chocolate cake, but that’s way more Breakdown’s speed).

MTMTE Impactor. Odd choice, I know. But dude knows how to make shit ingredients taste good. You got some kinda old noodles? Congrats, you got yourself a fat plate of carbonara, greasy and delicious. He ain’t fancy, but he’s the best for you broke bitches with a low stock.

G1 Ironhide. Big portions, big calories with this cowboy. You can’t leave his place without a full belly. Biscuits and gravy, eggs, hashbrowns, porkchops, fried chicken- and that’s just breakfast. It’s nice, hearty, and you can ask for as many helpings as you’d like. He will not stop. His food is endless. You will go home with leftovers for like a week. Even a pudding pie for dessert.

tfa Prowl. He’s actually a vegetarian! He likes making clean, easy to eat food, like veggie rice balls (or doughnuts), carrot stew, honey garlic tofu on a bed of steamed veggies, and for dessert? A honey baked apple, topped with mix nuts and whipped cream. His food is very good, and clean. He even makes his own trail mix for when he goes on nature walks (its full of roasted nuts, dried fruits, and dark chocolate bits), and will happily share if you ask him for some.

Tfp Dreadwing. He was the main cook in the household, and as such, he can feed others, should it be needed of him. He likes making Salmon Meuniere, chicken curry, and honey glazed beef strips. All of his food comes with a bed of white rice. His favorite thing to make though? Those cute little wagashi treats. They’re often made of bean paste, and they go lovely with his daily cups of tea. He also makes them very pretty and ornate.

Cyberverse Soundwave. He mainly learned now to cook because Hot Rod absolutely fucking can’t. He’s the more casual cook on this list, preferring stuff you can set and forget. Stuff like Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes, roasted chickens, mac and cheese, pot roast- pretty much anything you can stick in a crock pot, and have dinner ready for when he comes back from work. When he makes desserts, he loves making either cookies, or swiss rolls, depending how much time he has. He loves ube and pumpkin flavors.

#asks #soundwave #dreadwing #prowl #ironhide #impactor #blitzwing #breakdown #wildbreak #hightide #thunderhoof #this #was so fun to answer tbh

Full of Surprises, Chapter 4

Maybe, Casey found herself thinking (and she had most days since it happened), the suspension was doing her more good than harm. Maybe it was Liz Donnelly trying to make her calm the hell down.

For three years.

AO3

A/N: Hi! Sorry this one is a bit short, I wrote it mostly in a car and on vacation, and I felt like I'd neglected these ladies too long. Working on three long fics and my novel at once, why do I do this to myself? I hope you all like this one!

Casey showered as fast as she possibly could, having realized that despite their apartments’ proximity to one another, 30 minutes was definitely too little time. Oh well. That’s always been Casey’s way, doing things too quickly, in a rush, not on time.

Maybe, Casey found herself thinking (and she had most days since it happened), the suspension was doing her more good than harm. Maybe it was Liz Donnelly (and Lena Petrovsky, though, Lena never cared about her like Liz did) trying to make her calm the hell down.

For three years.

Oh well.

Casey felt good, felt great even. She was not only excited to go out to breakfast with this beautiful, newly brunette (Casey thought brunette was sexy, not that it applied to her friendships, but it was a truth), new friend of hers, well, not new as in new acquaintance, but this Alex was new and this Casey was new and it was all the newest she’d felt since, of course, since.

No, breakfast, while exciting and delicious and required after that run, was not the only thing that had Casey feeling good. As she was leaving her place, dressed in a pair of bootcut jeans fraying at the bottoms (how, she wondered, with her height) and a cozy wool sweater (another plus for suspension: choosing her own wardrobe), she read over the email again:

Dear Ms. Novak,

Congratulations! We are so excited to let you know that we would like to accept the three poems you submitted for publication in the Fall issue of Arch and Arrow. We feel they are...

Casey didn’t read further, because she didn’t need to (already had, already filled out the paperwork!), for probably the thousandth time since she received the notification last night. Published! She would be published, in a real literary magazine, her first since, oh, maybe the summer before her first year of law school. Even then, she’d only ever entered undergraduate publications, never real things like this. Well. She thought, the monthly readership of Arch and Arrow would likely be no more than in the triple digits, but, oh who cares! Everything in Casey wanted to skip down the few blocks to Alex’s (how convenient, she’d thought when she realized, should she ever need a cup of sugar) but she did resist, public embarrassment being quite the strong motivator. When she rounded the corner to Alex’s place, she noticed she had a waiting text.

Alex: Buzz when you get here? I’m still getting ready.

She buzzed, and Alex let her in. It was funny, she thought, surprising that Alex wasn’t more punctual than her.

Casey had not yet spent much time at Alex’s place. They usually went out, for coffee or drinks, returning to that little library bar more than once; trading favorite places. Good morning, Casey thought, and it was: beautiful weather, a great run, the best news in a while, and of course, a beautiful woman--

Well, she would put a pin in that last thing.

“Come in,” was the reply from inside when Casey knocked twice, so she did. As soon as she got the door open, two balls of fluff came careening into her calves.

“Hello! Hi! Oh you’re just the most fluffiest perfect little,” Casey said before devolving into only noises, holding both cats at once. “Alex,” she said, setting the kitties down, “Have I mentioned how much I love your cats?”

“Yes,” Alex said, much closer to Casey than she anticipated as she stood up. “Every time you see them. Hey, Case.”

Casey’s breath caught in her throat at the proximity. Then her breath caught again when she noticed that her breath had caught. “Hey. Where to?”

“You asked?” Alex said.

“Oh, um, I did, didn’t I. Let’s go to that little diner,” Casey said, referencing where they’d gone together last weekend. “It’s 6:30 in the morning,” she said, omitting where she would usually include a “goddamn,” bringing things off topic as she saw the clock on Alex’s wall.

“And we’re both wide awake!” Alex said, tilting her head upwards. Casey saw her hair hit her jaw just under her ears. “I want diner coffee, as weird as that is.”

Alex led the way out of her apartment, after giving Casey some cat time so she could put a few barrettes in her hair. As they walked together to the restaurant, Alex saw something extra bubbly in her friend. It was cute, Alex thought, how Casey pointed out birds and fun-shaped clouds.

Casey couldn’t hold her exciting news back for very long once they were all settled. Two coffees-- scrambled eggs and hashbrowns for Casey and fried eggs and toast for Alex. The other patrons of the place this early were all kinds, industrial workers, moms meeting friends with their kids, hungover students, fellow athletes and insomniacs. Yet, she still needed some prompting.

“OK, what has you so energetic this morning?” Alex said. She was still rubbing the tiredness from her eyes.

The was all the encouragement Casey needed. “I got an email last night,” she put some hot sauce on her potatoes, “From Arch and Arrow Magazine,” no signs of recognition in Alex, figures, “saying they want to publish three of my poems.” She ended raising her pitch, smiling that dimpled smile that gave Alex butterflies.

Alex dropped her fork and coffee mug, made some excited noises that didn’t quite form words. “Casey, that’s, oh that’s so exciting! I can’t believe I get to be friends with Casey Novak: published author. I can already imagine it being Casey Novak: award winning poet. Wow, Case, that’s so,”

Casey couldn’t stand the praise anymore, her cheeks were heating up and she tried to hide the blush behind a napkin.

“Are you blushing? Casey, you can’t get embarrassed by your own accomplishments.”

Casey blushed even harder. “Evidently, I can and I will.”

Alex flicked a half and half across the table in spite, and Casey caught it before it fell. “Also, when is it coming out so I can buy 10 copies.”

“You’re ridiculous. Also, it’s not 100% finalized so I’m not going to get too excited until it’s actually in print.”

“Stop being humble, Case, this is a big deal.”

Casey shrugged happily, the dimples seemed permanent for the morning.

“It is a big deal. I’m really happy.”

“Does this mean I get to read your work finally?”

This time it was Casey’s turn to wage milk product war.

Alex insisted she would pay the bill, after a few more conversations. Alex insisted they go back to her apartment, wouldn’t tell Casey why. Casey’s heart jumped when Alex opened the door, brushed her back with her hand as she closed it.

“You go sit on the couch,” Alex ordered (Casey found Alex’s demanding nature very adorable). Casey did, and when Alex returned from the kitchen, her jaw dropped. A bottle of expensive champagne were in one hand, two flutes in the other.

“Alex!” Casey exclaimed, “That’s way too nice. And it’s,” she checked the clock, “8 AM.”

“Special occasion,” Alex said, shrugging and smiling. “I think you deserve to be celebrated.”

They enjoyed the, making new conversations and snuggling the cats. Casey felt warm, comfortable, content. Calm.

“By the way,” Alex said, “I’m sending your poems to Liz Donnelly when they come out. Show her what brilliance she’s missing out on.”

Casey threw her scarf at the brunette this time, with no little milk containers to use. Alex just laughed, did not back down.

“I’m really glad I ran into you today.”

“Me too.”

3, 5, 6, and 23 for the ask game 💜💜

3 - a specific color that gives you the ick?

hmm. this is hard because i feel like even 'ugly' colors could look really good in the right context. like puke green could look really good in a nature painting. a lot of the 'neon' colors tend to give me a headache if they aren't actually in a neon sign, though

5 - favorite form of potato?

damn this is the actual hard question, lmao. potatoes are so versatile and delicious. if i had to choose though, i'd go for any of the fried varieties (fries, hashbrown, tater tot) actually now that i think of it, it's 100% tater tot. it's both delicious and had a fun name :3

6 - do you use a watch?

nope. i'm kinda embarrassed to admit but i suck at reading traditional clock faces. like i can do it, but it takes me like 5 minutes to work everything out, vs my parents generation that can just glance at a clock and be like 'it's 7:22' hate being a gen z stereotype

23 - do you wear jewelry?

no i don't. i love the look of jewelry so much but i am a fidgety person and i always play with the chain/clasp/etc too much that it inevitably breaks or i lose it. the closest thing to jewelry that i wear is a hairtie on my wrist, lmao

#ask game #comm-caribou #asking the hard hitting questions... i like it #thanks for sending these in!!

⭐Alpha Centauri⭐, Part Eight

So, demons. As you can imagine, they can’t enter holy ground like churches/synagogues/mosques/etc. But the likes of Chick-Fil-A? Oh baby.

Previous Part

Next Part

My Patreon

Eventually, Nebb had to go back to his dorm, so Chai and I went to have dinner… At Chick-Fil-A.

The reactions were delicious. Pious, devoted and devout followers of God were for the most part shielded from the ‘ill sensations’ us demons would give with proximity to them, but the ‘Christian’ crowd that frequented and ran CFA were infamously not so. Hypocritical, decadent, prejudicial. Come to think of it, they were basically mortals acting like soldier-of-heaven angels.

When we got to the front of the line, we ordered one at a time. I took a good few minutes vocally puzzling over the caloric consequences of different options, like some ‘weight watcher’ insisting to themself that simply eating less of the same fast food would turn fat to loose flesh. While I was no wrath demon, I could feel the frustration of the others behind us. While they were getting sick of standing, my legs numbed themselves to the point I may as well’ve been sitting, using my thighs as a seat.

Then, despite my mock-indecisiveness, I wound up ordering a good ten or so greasy, deep fried, chewy-biscuit ‘chicken sandwiches’, with a different similarly unhealthy side for each one. To top it off, I spent another minute negotiating an extra large soda cup with a mix of drinks in it, trying to convince the cashier to let me have said drink——to hand off to Chialer, because holy shit that would melt me from the inside out. Audible groans of impatience came from all but Chai herself, in the line.

“Yo, girl’s gotta eat, thought ya boi upstairs said to love your neighbor,” I said to this, casting a cynical look over my shoulder. Chai gripped a hand tightly around her mouth, her chest seizing up as she tried desperately not to laugh.

The price came up on my order, and I added the real cherry on top of the infuriation: fumbling around with a total mess of different-valued dollar bills and no change except for pennies to handle the tax with. By this point, even the cashier was urging me to just give an extra dollar and take the change, but I insisted it was my last one dollar bill and needed to swing by the bank to make proper change.

Unfortunately for the process of moving the line along, they didn’t want to start actually making the huge order until I’d actually put up the cash for it. But once the money was in the register, I sidled out of the way. Little did the humans expect that I was the lesser of their problems, for Hell hath no appetite like the gluttons of its ranks.

Chai, clearly, stoned herself in preparation for coming here, which she’d recommended in the first place earlier in the afternoon. Rush hour, sedated with marijuana, planning ahead of time to be unhelpful… Her process of ordering was so much more infuriating than mine that I could swear the cashier was trying to decide between an aneurism or risking getting fired to lash out at her. The mortals still waiting behind her were exponentially more agitated, with more red skin than racist depictions of native Americans, enough clenched fists to rival a rock concert, and more eyes glaring at my roomie than I had secreted away on my wings. I quivered in place with that sadistic catharsis that ran like blood through our kind. Not like I can help one of my primary purposes for existence being to torture the damned.

My food started coming to me as Chai got in a pointless argument with the cashier about how to pronounce ‘burger’ at a place that didn’t even serve those; once I was loaded up with fast food bags, I went to take the biggest booth-table in the dining area. From there, I could see a group of people make various sounds of frustration as I’d clearly taken their place for whatever over-a-meal ‘team building’ shit they had planned in place of the sort of missionary work religious types eagerly sought out back in yester-century.

From afar, I observed a carefully planned and heavily handicapped dance: Chialer, uranium-skunk demoness of gluttony and envy, working carefully to maintain hostility with the cashier and even a couple other customers, but keep herself from being kicked out of the restaurant; all while stoned off her ass with weed, which didn’t get along with her anyway.

One minute, she was arguing about ordering hashbrowns, even though they were part of the breakfast menu and it was dinnertime. The next, she was antagonizing the cashier with horrifically nitpicky specifics on *just* how much vegetables and sauces would be on each thing… Oh damnit, she got them to call out the manager. I forgot that whoever did that quicker dodged having to pay…… Couldn’t blame her for not stopping me from paying when I hadn’t done so at all during my order.

It took a good half hour before she got to my table with me. She sat next to me, sidling up against me and gently thumping my chest with the back of her hand. I sneered, letting out an obnoxiously loud belch. Only Chialer and myself were amused. Unfortunately for them, Chialer had a similarly crude sense of humor, and we kept up, acting like completely undignified slobs. That, mortals, is what happens when gluttony meets sloth. Alongside, ironically for my end, leaving no leftovers to take home. It was Hell on my stomach (ha ha), but Chialer being around helped a ton (also ha ha).

People cringed, faces squinched up. Kids were giggling, which their parents quietly shushed. Personally—and I can’t speak for Chai here, necessarily—I enjoyed the kids’ reactions the most. They enjoyed what we did: lots of food, lax on ‘customs’ and ‘following the norm’. Modesty, in my opinion, was easily one of the worst traits of humanity.

But all the while, something felt… Insufficient about it. Something not adding up to the sum. I looked around. One couple—an asian duo, looking more than a little out of place in a crowd of white people—were casually sat and eating food as if nothing was wrong, despite all the noise from us. I stared at them for a minute… The man looked really… Tired, while the woman looked very tense.

“See those two?” I whispered across the table at Chialer.

Chai glanced up. “What about ‘em?” she replied quietly.

“They’re not even reacting to us…”

“Maybe they’re deaf, who knows.”

“And coming to a fast food place, ordering food without holding up the line at all? Bullshit.”

“Whatever, Cen, just keep eating. Or let me, if you’re too high on conspiracy theories.”

I furrowed my brow. She wasn’t wrong, but she also was. I knew something was up there, so I sat and pouted for a while, staring at the ceiling. Eventually, the husband got up and walked to the bathroom.

I followed.

He may’ve gone into the men’s room, but I had… Reasons I could go in anyway. Independent of me being a demon, don’t get me wrong. I still looked around to be sure nobody was watching, then slipped in, carefully scanning for others besides the one I was tailing.

The man in question… I saw his shoes in one of the stalls, and… Well, you know what sound I heard from in there. So I used a long, wadded up strip of paper towels to stick the door shut from the inside, and waited for him to come out. When he did… He’d give some answers. If they were innocent enough… Well, hopefully I could zap him in the right way to only erase his memories of the last hour. Electro-neuroscience was very difficult to get right.

“Okay, who the hell are you?”

The Asian man looked up from brushing off his jacket. “I not speak English,” he said calmly. No conviction, no sort of gesture or look of confusion… Yeah right.

I crossed my arms. “Then how did you order food.”

“My wife order food, I eat.”

I scoffed, narrowing my eyes. “If you don’t speak English, how did you understand that.”

The man narrowed his eyes as well, hunching over somewhat. “...Takuya Nakano. Now piss off.” he said flatly, walking around me to wash his hands.

I looked down, pulling up a sleeve to glance over my upper arm momentarily. Some time back, I’d written on it with permanent marker, occasionally reapplying it if it seemed to be fading. Mom had told me the line years and years ago, and I wanted it on hand [or close enough while out of sight] in case I needed to use it…

“Shilton lot-zipper……?” I murmured.

The man lifted his head, glancing over his shoulder for a moment, before shaking his head and going back to washing his hands.

I looked over my shoulder at him, furrowing my brow. “לוציפר שולט." ‘lotziper sholt’. Lucifer reigns.

The water from the sink abruptly stopped. Given the improvised soundproofing I put in the door, it was now dead silent. I couldn’t even hear anything through the walls.

“Where did you hear that.”

“My mom.”

The man shook off his hands for a moment, going to dry them off. “When.”

“Eight years ago, as she sent me off to college. Told me it was a ‘code phrase’.

“Only the princes of Hell pass that knowledge around. Hebrew is a dead language outside of the middle east.”

I let out a huff of air. “So that’s why you’re so nonchalant about my roomie and I.”

“I was trying to have a nice, quiet dinner with my wife. We were ignoring you.”

“Mortals can’t just do that.”

“I noticed.”

“So what are you, then?” I demanded.

The man grumbled in frustration, walking past me again to the door. When he had trouble opening it, he looked down then stomped on the wadded up paper towels and scraped them out so he could leave.

I peered out the door around him. Someone had been trying to get in, and thankfully hadn’t seen me yet. I quickly ducked into a stall and let the guy enter as well. Once I was sure his view would be blocked by a stall door, I snuck out and scoped out ‘Takuya’’s table. His wife was gone.

I ducked into the girl’s bathroom and searched it. Didn’t recognize any of the shoes—hers were pure black boots, really stuck out from the other patrons—so I headed out and made a lap around the building. The alcove for the dumpster out back was a crack open, so I peered in, and sure enough…

“What do you want?” the woman spat in an expected Japanese accent. She was leaning against the back wall of the enclosure, smoking a cigarette with indeterminate components.

I stepped in, closing the gate behind me. “I was trying to chat with your husband a minute ago—nothing flirty or anything, I saw his ring—and he was being evasive about a question I asked…”

She blinked slowly and deliberately. “His dick’s four and eight-tenths inches, he subs in bed, and yes we do use condoms.”

My eyes went wide, and I raised both brows. She smirked. “Woah? Yikes? Okay shit, I’m part succubus and that’s TMI to me.”

“Part what?”

I waved a hand boredly. “...Yeah yeah, לוציפר שולט and all that,” I murmured. “You two are demons and he’s not admitting it.”

The woman blinked again, same as she had before. She then stepped away from the wall and turned around, rubbing the burnt end of the cig on the brickwork. “His name’s Tsuki. I’m Shihai. We’re trying to have an anniversary date, so contact us later about it,” she said. Awfully trusting...

“You’re just…”

“A demon hunter or angel wouldn’t just spit out that they’re part succubus in response to a line like that. They’re too serious, especially for jokes like that.”

I shrugged. “Well I… That’s probably gonna get you fucked up sometime.”

“Believe me, if it were going to, it would’ve happened long before you. Now take your notes and let me smoke,” she said. Afterwards, she pulled out a new cigarette, lit it, and stood aside from an ashen graffiti tag of a pentagram. I quickly ran up to it, looking over it carefully and memorizing the runes drawn in the spaces around it. There were ones representing several of the seven deadly sins—but not all—and an elemental rune corresponding to each. The center held a manji: ‘svastika’ in Sanskrit, but well, you wouldn’t want the symbol nazis stole to be referred to by such a similar name, even if it was the original one.

I nodded slowly. “...Holy shit, you’re—”

“Out. Now.”

I winced, then nodded slowly, going back to open the gate and head inside to finish up dinner with Chai—or rather, yell ‘angrily’ at her for eating all the rest of my food. That svastika (okay, let’s just call it a manji like they do in Japan) had a very specific meaning among demons: versatility. Power. Maybe a certain elder goat-demon would be able to give me more information on the topic...

Not my favorite thing I’ve had to deal with this pandemic. Everyone is outside/masked. I learn that 2-3 of them have already been vaxxed but it’s still kind of a weird situation for me. I know if K was with me it would be bad news, so I am grateful he stayed behind today.

2:00 PM - Hightail it outta there once 4 more people show up. Listen to music really loud in the car and scream some lyrics on my way home. Feels good man.

Kielbasa

various kielbasa (from left to right): various kabanosy, weselna, mysliwska, wiejska, krajana, kiszka, parowki, parowki drobiowe, krakowska, jalowcowa; photo © gordon lingley

Grilling season is upon us and, since Greenpoint is home to at least seven meat markets, it’s high time you upped your grilling game.

Walking into a Polish meat market can be a bit overwhelming. For starters, most, if not all, of the signage is in Polish and, at least in my experience, not everyone behind the counter speaks English. Don’t be discouraged. With a little patience and this decoder key, you’ll be the star of your summer bbq or picnic in the park.

I should probably begin by saying that “kielbasa” simply means “sausage” in Polish, so walking into a meat shop and asking for a kielbasa is akin to walking into to a cheese shop and asking for some cheese—you’ll get a bunch of blank stares.

This guide will help point you in the right direction, but, when in doubt, go with your gut. Literally. If something looks good, try it—chances are it’s worth your time.

A few caveats:

Not every kielbasa is available at every location and many aren’t available every day.

This list only scratches the surface of Polish meats, and focuses only on the kielbasa family—there are dozens of other varieties to try.

Each meat market has their own recipes, so flavors and textures (for the same style kielbasa) will vary from one shop to the next.

The Guide:

Kiszka (KEESH-kah), Krupniok (KRROOP-nee-ahk), Kaszanka (kah-SHAHN-kah) – Also known as: Blood Sausage. Don’t be put off by the blood. And yes, it really does contain blood, but it’s mixed with spices and barley (or buckwheat groats). Though usually cooked, it can also be sold raw, so it’s best to ask the butcher which you’re getting. Either way, this is generally served either sliced into medallions and pan-fried or removed from the casing entirely and pan-fried in a hash. It’s delicious as a breakfast side (something the English have known for centuries) and might soon become your new go-to hashbrown.

Surowa (soo-RO-voh), Biala (BEEYAH-wah) – Surowa means “raw,” and unlike some other kielbasa that have surowa in the name (notably, surowo wedzona, which means “raw” and “smoked”) this one is actually raw, and it looks the part. It can be boiled, baked, sauteed, or barbequed (whole, in its edible casing) with great results. Though available year-round, it is indispensable at Easter and Christmas, and is traditionally served with sauerkraut, noodles, or in zurek (sour bread) soup.

Kabanosy (kah-bah-NO-see) – These come in many varieties, but they’re similar, at least in appearance, to a pepperoni stick. They are generally about the diameter of your finger and range from 6-18” long, give or take. Heat levels vary, from mild to spicy (pikantne), as do the meats, generally pork (wieprozowe), but can also be veal (cielece) or chicken (drobiowe). Not really meant for the grill, these are a great snack to take to the park or on a hike.

Mysliwska (mish-LEEV-skah) – Mysliwska means “hunter,” and is so named because, being both smoked and dried, its low moisture content makes it the perfect snack for hunters in the field. While it can be eaten at room temperature, due to its concentrated flavor, it’s also a great addition to soups and stews. Because it’s already smoked and dried, it’s not great on the grill.

Weselna (veh-SEL-nah) – Weselna means “wedding,” and this kielbasa was apparently very popular at weddings and other significant events. Often times just called double-smoked, it is usually intensely dark in color and smoke flavor. Typically served sliced, at room temperature. Again, because it’s double-smoked, it’s not ideal on the grill, but is right at home in soups and stews or on a cheese plate.

Parowki (pah-ROOV-kee) – These are the “hot dogs” of the group. Generally sold in a plastic casing (which should be removed before cooking and eating), they are a very fine grind of pork (and pork “bits”) or chicken or veal. Available both smoked and unsmoked, they are traditionally boiled and served immediately, but typically not on a bun.

Krakowska (krah-KOHV-skah) – A reference to Krakow (which has nothing to do with its flavor) this one is generally a bit larger in diameter and is lightly smoked. Very lean and more ham-like, it’s traditionally sliced thin and served as an appetizer or on sandwiches.

Jalowcowa (yah-voh-SO-vah) – The name of this smoked and dried kielbasa refers to the juniper it contains. Juniper is added both to the pork mixture and the smoker, to impart a mild pine flavor. Best served at room temperature, making it ideal for picnics, hikes, and cheese plates.

Wiejska (vee-AY-skah) – Usually made in a U-shape, this is probably the kielbasa that most Americans imagine when they think of kielbasa. Loosely translated “country-style,” this kielbasa typically packs more garlicky flavor than other varieties, and generally features pork or a mixture of pork and veal. It can be eaten at room temperature or fresh off the grill.

Krajana (krai-AH-nah) – This double-smoked kielbasa is similar to wiejska, but is generally larger, made from chunks of pork instead of ground pork, and features a thicker casing. Great as a cold cut, but also great on the grill.

While I’m not endorsing any meat market in particular, for “first-timers” I think Polka Dot Cafe is a great place to start—the selection is solid and the younger staff speak English. It’s also set up more like a cafe, with tables and a selection of classic Polish dishes, encouraging guests to linger. The other locations are definitely just meat markets, with the exception of AS Warehouse, which is a full-fledged Polish grocery store. Explore them all.

Businesses: Kiszka Meat Market, 915 Manhattan Ave. Sikorski Meat Market, 603 Manhattan Ave. Polam International, 952 Manhattan Ave. Driggs Meat Market, 160 Driggs Ave. Polka Dot Cafe/Polski Meat Market, 726 Manhattan Ave. Mazur Meat Market, 922 Manhattan Ave. AS Warehouse, 276 McGuinness Blvd.

Top 5 Food Vendors at Brainquility 2020

Brainquility Music Festival 2020 saw some expansions to the landscape and layout of the festival as curators are beginning to settle into Spirit of Suwannee Music Park. After learning the lay of the land in 2019, curators made some changes to the layout of the vendors to include a few new vendors this year. Brainquility puts an emphasis on providing the attendees with a fully immersive experience with no scheduling conflicts, which allows them to actually take a moment to truly enjoy some of the handcrafted dishes by some of the festival scene’s most popular food vendors. Here are the Top 5 Food Vendors that were on site at Brainquility 2020!

1. The Grilled Cheese Incident - 5.0 - We LOVE the Grilled Cheese Incident. They almost always pop in and set up their booth at any festival hosted at Suwannee Music Park. The Grilled Cheese Incident was located in the vendor row directly in front of the Live Stage and they sling a variety of grilled cheesy creations that take the idea of a plain ole grilled cheese to the next level. The fact they were conviently located directly in front of the main stage and offer several affordable and filling options makes them the best vendor on site - hands down! We had the opportunity to try their hashbrown bowl for breakfast finally and it was out of this world! A delicious bed of fried hashbrowns, onions, peppers, and cheese topped with bacon, a fried egg, and a sriracha aioli. Oh and don’t forget to grab a cup of Space Juice! It is honestly so refreshing in between sets at a festival. Their Space Juice is a honey sweetened lemonade with pomegranate and mint. We highly recommend stopping by The Grilled Cheese Incident if you’re ever given the chance!

2. Spontaneous Consumption - 4.8 - Spontaneous Consumption made a return to Brainquility with their plates that are piled high with handcrafted deliciousness. Spontaneous Consumption offers a variety of delicious southern inspired favorites such as loaded baked potatos, pulled pork nachos, and a variety of flavored sweet teas. We had the opportunity to try their BBQ Nachos this year and they were out of this world delicious. Nachos piled high with pulled pork, pickled jalapenos, shreeded cheese, green onions, cheese sauce and sour cream. The one downfall to this would be there’s way more chips that topping. So if you’re not eating strategically, you will end up with a bed of chips at the bottom that have no toppings on them. So my tip would be to get a fork and eat more strategically that I did. Also, you can’t go wrong with their Peach Swet Tea! Definitely pair your meal with one of their delicious flavored teas. You will not regret it!

3. T&T BBQ - 4.5 - T&T BBQ made their Brainquility debut this year and they were a heavy contender again Spontaneous Consumption with their trailer. Their handcrafted bbq plates were - as we say in the south - smack you grandmama type of good. We had the opportunity to devour and order of their BBQ Fries and man…we’re craving another order. They pack a food boat full of crispy, crinkle cut fries and then load them down with pulled pork, bbq sauce and cheese sauce. So. Freaking. DELICIOUS. My little southern soul was not complaining at ALL. If you have a chance to stop by T&T BBQ you should definitely check them out!

4. Dude Pancakes - 4.0 - Dude Pancakes brought their tiny food trailer that packs a massive punch to Brainquility 2020. Their trailer focuses on well…you guessed it. Pancakes. They take pancakes and craft them into these beautiful dessert tacos that will send your tastebuds on a wild ride. We tried the Chef’s Favorite to sample something a little out of the box. It’s a pancake with Nutella, Strawberries, Marshmallows, and Candied Bacon. The bacon added a perfect saltiness to the dish so it wasn’t overly sweet. If we ever see Dude Pancakes in the future, I would definitely try the Popeye’s Pick to try something more savory from their menu. I would highly recommend stopping by Dude Pancakes - especially if you have a sweet tooth!

5. Rice, Rice Baby - 3.0 - Rice, Rice Baby was on site of Brainquility 2020 with their hibachi style rice and noodle boxes. As an avid fan of Island Noodles, this tent peaked my curiosity. I stopped by to try their Teriyaki Chicken Noodle box with Yum Yum Sauce. I was honestly less than impressed. The box was legitimately just chicken and noodles. I guess I was expected some vegetable mix-ins similar to Island Noodles. The vegetable mix-ins provide complimentary flavors in the dish as well as some variance in textures. Also, I was not a huge fan of the chicken swimming in Teriyaki sauce. Which honestly surprised me - I’m normally a person who loves to get lost in the sauce. I came back later and tried their Teriyaki Chicken rice box which was a step above the noodle box in my opinion. The only thing I would personally change is adding some veggies to the noodles so that there’s a variance in texture and there are other complimentary flavors present in the dish.

Napa to Nashville - Day 2

You’d think with the two hour time change, that maybe just maybe I would wake up at a normal time. Apparently that is not in the cards. At 6a (4a PST), I was up and in need of coffee. I went down to the front desk and asked where the nearest Starbucks-ish-like coffee shop was located, as hotel coffee service in Nashville is not a thing. I was directed to go one block, turn right and go 5 more blocks... (WTF that’s nearly half a mile a way) what is wrong with these people.

I was sure they were wrong, so while walking using the provided direction, I pulled out my phone and “googled on bing” the nearest Starbucks, turned left and quickly learned that I should just listen to the locals. After 30 minutes of wondering the streets of Nashville I ended up at the originally and properly directed Starbucks, got both hot and iced coffees for Susan and I, and shamefully walked back to the Hotel. Suzy was still sleeping, none the wiser. When she woke we ordered breakfast in.. Going to be a long day, so we took our time.

Around 11 we headed out, back to Broadway. But with a reason... a purpose! So there is a thing in Nashville, I didn’t know, maybe you do. But every Cowboy Boot store offers it. If you buy 1 pair of boots, you get two additional pairs for free. Now beyond the Why, is the question who needs 3 sets of cowboy boots. Likely there is someone, but not my wife. What I didn’t know is the she was in Cahoots with our friends Kari and Michelle, and not unlike the Wine Barrell auction, Susan had a commitment from each of them to purchase a share (or 1/3) of the boot purchase. So I spent my morning watching the kids, and when I say the kids I meant the 20 odd pairs of cowboy boots as Susan tried on, tested, texted her share holders and made super important boot decisions, that if done poorly could haunt the rest of our days.

For clarity of purpose my shoe selection stayed relatively boring, and was not swayed by the regions country/western bent. Avert your eyes if my legs offend you.

When it was all said and done Suzy got her boots and two other sets were shipped back home for distribution

As we hadn’t adjusted to the time, we needed to kill some time before eating a late lunch, so we explored Broadway in the daylight (and yes the place was rocking at noon). We stopped by BB Kings, but to quiet, decided we might come back.

We moved on to a nearby alley recommended to us by one of our Lyft Driver’s known as Printer’s Alley and known for it’s Blues bars and music. It immediately looked promising.

We looked in a few and chose the Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar. Walked in grabbed a drink and watched two Bluesy dudes play guitar and sing (yes the blues) and they were great. There were possibly 50 people in the bar, no more - enjoying the show, hiding from the heat and having a drink - we fit right in.

After a couple drinks and set of music, we tipped our waitress, tipped the band and headed back out into the street, and talked about coming back that evening to see Sista Ruth.

We walked a bit longer, scouting bars for the evening and looking for places that might broadcast the late Husky game. It was 2p, and we were finally hungry for lunch.

Beyond the music, Nashville is also famous for Hot Fried Chicken. If you like food with heat this is a must try, the more touristy place is Hattie Bs, and the original hot chicken creator is Princes (again we learned this from our Lyft driver - great guides in Nashville). We were planning to go to Princes, but the original location was closed the other was much further away, so Hattie B’s was where we landed.

It was hot out side and the line was out the door, Susan kept asking if we could have it ubered to our Hotel, then the line started moving, we ordered, sat and had our food in 20 minutes. The chicken can be ordered at 6 different levels of heat - No heat, Mild, Medium, Hot, Damn Hot!, and Shut your Clucking Mouth!! Susan ordered a Mild fried chicken sandwich and i order a Hot dark meat, we also added pimento mac & cheese, cole slaw and crinkle cut fries. Good news we ordered the heat level right for both of us. Would like to try Damn Hot next time, but not necessarily an entire order.

We had plans that would take us late in to the night - Dinner, Music, Dancing and if lucky a Husky game near the end. (little did we know, play the ominous music). So we headed back for some chill time and maybe a nap.

At 7p we were up, dressed to kill it (meaning, yes Susan had her new boots on) and ready to head out. Side bar here: when heading to a cool new place we like to find restaurants that the locals like, not always easy but in this situation our friend Mike Epplin has a brother that shares the same mission, who had also been to Nashville and through Mikey provided us with a number of recommendations. This night we would try Josephine

We arrived thirty minutes early and were sat in the bar. There were two talented and creative bar tenders working the small space. I went with a less sweet Manhattan and Susan ordered what they described as beefed up Cosmo, where the pomegranate juice was replaced by Pomegranate liqueur. Both executed well, the early vibe of the restaurant was awesome.

It was 50 minutes before we were sat, the hostess told us it was because she had a great table for us, with her favorite waiter, but the nice older lady who was sitting at it was dragging her feet and slowly drinking her tea. We were excited that we made such a nice impression, but as we watched all those around us who arrived later than us being sat and getting their food we started to question her sincerity. Once we were seated though, and met our waiter our fears were allayed and what turned out to be a great meal began. First things first. an heirloom tomato bruschetta and duck fat hashbrowns with a sprinkling of trout roe. Wow and Yum

I ordered a half bottle of Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Susan had another Cosmo. Then our entrees arrived Carbonara and a grilled Pork Chop with a Sorghum Vinegar Glaze also delicious.

We decided to pass on desert, to keep it light as there was still a lot of time left in our evening. Fun to be had. We boarded yet another lyft and headed back to broadway.

First stop.. And yes this is the actual, entire name. Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk and Rock & Roll Steakhouse - funny signs, four floors of food, drinks and live music, oh yeah and oh so many flat screens showing every sporting event being currently broadcast. [Noted for later].

The first band, was a hard rock band, and like most other bands we saw during our visit I couldn’t begin to tell you their name. We grabbed a couple cocktails found a rail and enjoyed the show.

The guy in the middle, stick thin and heroine chic, played the shit of the harmonica, moved like Jagger (not the song) and put on a helluva a show. After busting through 8-10 songs he then wandered through the crowd with a metal bucket taking donations... New fact to share.. We went to a lot of bars, saw a lot of bands - only BB Kings charged a cover. Most, if not all of these bands play for tips, drinks, etc. We tipped all the good bands we saw, if you love small venue live music, and are heading to Nashville budget accordingly..

Susan decided it was time to leave and head to the next place. So off we went, wandering about half block till we came to Crazy Town.

Music sounded good, so in we went. First song played by the new band in the new bar was “Blister In The Sun” by Violent Femmes, they had us at hello. They played a few more progressive songs, bounced into Metallica “Sandman” then Bruno Mars “Uptown Funk” hit a country song or two and then back into progressive rock. Nothing but fun. Second Side Note: Good friend Brian Wilbur when getting beat by us on the golf course, so it happens often calls us HonYawks, no one on has a clue to what it means. Saw this sign, which suggests he pronounces his insult wrong, though still no idea what it means

At the intermission of their set, I made sure to buy the band a few drinks, and tip them, I’m a quick study. We stayed there for a couple hours dancing and drinking but it was almost time for Husky kick off. so we headed back to Kid Rock’s place headed to the third floor, found a seat at the three hundred foot rectangle bar, ordered drinks from her

and asked her to find FS1.

Check - First quarter done Huskies leading. Then the weather gods intervened. Good news we had other distractions. So we drank, watched other games, listened to music and waited.

The game finally resumed around 2am our time. They tied it up, we went back to the hotel, it was 2:30a, what could go wrong.. Figured we wait to read the good news in the AM...

Eggy tofu (vegan eggs): 5 minute breakfast

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Please see my Privacy Policy for more details.

Do you miss having fried eggs for breakfast since going vegan? No problem! Vegan eggs are incredibly easy to make. Plus, they’re gluten-free and ready in 5 minutes flat!

One of my most popular blog posts is 10 easy vegan breakfasts anyone can make.

With truly simple meals like peanut butter toast and fruit, cold cereal, and oatmeal, it’s the kind of stuff that would get a bad Amazon review if it was in a cookbook.

“A recipe for toast? Who needs that?”

But for many people considering going vegan, breakfast is a stumbling block.

They imagine a greasy spoon breakfast platter. Then they start deconstructing all of the animal products from it.

They are left with what? Hash browns maybe?

Plus, breakfast tends to be the meal when people have the least amount of time and are in the biggest hurry. It’s the meal most likely to be eaten while rushing out the door.

It’s for that reason that one of my favorite filling, easy, and protein-packed breakfasts is eggy tofu, also known as vegan eggs.

Vegan eggs are ready in just minutes, go great with toast, and are satiating enough to keep you full until lunchtime.

If you liked fried eggs before you went vegan, this is a dish you need to make.

Vegan eggs

Vegan eggs are made with just 4 ingredients:

Super firm tofu

Kala namak

Pepper

Oil

Super firm tofu in vacuum packaging

To make vegan eggs, start with a block of super firm tofu in an aseptic package. I like to use vacuum packed tofu, because it doesn’t need to be pressed. And it has a good, toothsome quality.

Trader Joe’s and Wildwood both make vacuum-packed tofu.

My typical breakfast is 2 slices of tofu. So a single block can last for several meals.

If you prefer a softer tofu, consider using silken instead. Or you can use water-packed tofu, but you’ll want to press it first for the optimum texture.

Kala namak

Kala namak is essential to making vegan eggs, because it’s the sulfuric mineral salt that gives the tofu its eggy flavor. Just one whiff inside of the bag is an olfactory barrage of egginess.

So if you’re someone who never enjoyed that taste, obviously this wouldn’t be the recipe for you.

Kala namak is used in Indian cuisine. It is also called black salt.

Even though it’s called black salt, it’s actually pink when it’s in the package. However, don’t confuse it with Hawaiian pink salt. They are two different things.

You can find kala namak in Indian markets. A package tends to be very inexpensive (in the $2-3 range). It’s also available on Amazon.

Since a little goes a long way with this pungent salt, just one package lasts a very long time, even if you’re scooping from it regularly.

The only other two ingredients you’ll need are oil for browning the tofu in a skillet, and black pepper to finish.

How to make vegan eggs

Start by cutting two or three slices of tofu from a vacuum packed block. Cut the slices between ¼ to ½ inch thick.

I especially like slices on the thinner side when adding the vegan eggs to a vegan breakfast sandwich. Otherwise, it can be too filling.

Plus, a thinner slice of tofu has a similar texture to a fried egg, and really lets the kala namak flavor stand out.

Add a drizzle of oil to a non-stick skillet, and bring it to a medium heat. Add the tofu slices to the skillet.

Brown each side for a couple of minutes.

After one side has browned, add a sprinkling of black salt and freshly ground pepper.

Flip the tofu, and then sprinkle some more to the other side.

(Remember: the black salt is what gives the tofu its flavor, but it’s also salt. So it’s better to start with a small amount and build up from there. I typically uses less than 1/8 teaspoon per slice.)

Make it your own

At this time you can also add other seasonings to your tofu. I especially like a sprinkling of nutritional yeast flakes and granulated onion.

While the tofu is browning in a skillet, put a couple slices of bread into the toaster. By the time toast pops up, your vegan eggs will be about ready.

The whole affair takes roughly five minutes to make, and is filling enough to keep me satisfied until lunch.

Ways to use vegan eggs:

Eggy tofu (vegan eggs)

Do you miss having fried eggs and toast for breakfast? This vegan version is even easier and so fast! Just keep vacuum-packed tofu in the refrigerator, and cut off a couple of slices anytime you want a quick, protein-packed breakfast. (It can also be made using water-packed tofu, but you'll need to press the tofu first for best texture.)

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon organic canola oil or other high heat oil

2 slices super firm tofu in vacuum packaging, cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick

Sprinkle kala namak black salt*

Pinch black pepper

Instructions

Bring a non-stick skillet to a medium heat with oil.

Put the tofu slices into the skillet and brown each side for a couple of minutes each. After one side has browned, add a sprinkling of black salt and freshly ground pepper, flip, and then sprinkle more on the other side. Flip one more time to seal in the spices. Serve with toast, veggie sausage, fruit, and/or hashbrowns.

Notes

A little bit of kala namak goes a long way. Use about 1/8 teaspoon per slice. This tofu is also delicious with a sprinkling of nutritional yeast flakes & onion powder on each side.

Nutrition

Don’t let that bag of kala namak go to waste.

Here are other ways to use black salt:
