#Izzy cooks

Cooking.

Here is one recipe that I almost always have the ingredients for in my pantry and freezer.

Chili.

(I am a meat eater so bear that in mind. )

This makes like 8-12 servings depending on how hungry I am on a given day.

Here's the ingredients:

In the freezer: 1 lb of ground meat of your choice. Hamburger is good, they had a sale on bison recently at my grocery store, I have some venison from the specialty shop, as a treat for someday.

In the pantry: big can of diced tomatoes. This one's 1 lb 12 oz.

Also in the pantry, various canned beans. I picked up one of black beans and one of mixed salad beans because I like the different colors. One medium onion, that you dice to about half inch squares. Tomato paste if you like a thick chili.

This to me is the bare minimum, I do usually add garlic, I do often add half a beer or the tail end of a bottle of wine if I have one lying around. I can spice it as my mood suits: peppers, 🌶️ 🫑, heavy on cumin and rosemary or not. Often I have the tail end of a jar of salsa, I did today. I decided between finishing the jar of tomatillo salsa or dumping the pesto into the pot, decided I can add pesto later if I want to.

One great thing about how I make chili is I don't even have to defrost the meat all the way. I dice my onion, defrost the meat enough to get it out of the packet, and into the pot. Couple splashes of vegetable oil if it's a low fat meat. Start it browning, use the spatula to chunk the frozen meat into littler pieces.

Add the diced onions halfway through, continue breaking the meat up until it's most of the way brown at least and only a little bit pink. Salt into the pot, a small handful over the meat and onion, mix thoroughly and keep breaking up the hamburger with your spatula.

Leftover cooked veggies 🥦🫛🍆🥕go in great at this point if you have some and want to.

The last of the jar of minced garlic 🧄, both cans of beans 🫘 with their water, the diced tomatoes 🍅, and half a cup of wine 🍷 because we didn't finish the bottle last night. I'm a Dionysian, you don't have to put any wine or beer 🍺 in at all, I just... It's like a tribute.

Moving on.

You could add leftover hummus to thicken this or tomato paste.

This fills my large stockpot pretty well. And then I let it simmer at medium low heat for long enough to cook down a little.

And, because I have ADHD, it's best not to let myself sit down and tumble for a while, or if I do sit down I should set alarms so that I remember to go stir the pot and scrape the bottom so I don't cook the food to the bottom of the pot 😇

I like to eat it as is, or sometimes with cheese or rice and if I'm feeling fancy I'll try and make up a cornbread. Haven't tried it yet with Mac&cheese but it's probably gonna be good.

I should probably say here that my husband would want me to eat this with a salad 🥗.

Yes, dear. 🥰

This meal brought to you by having one of those days where I couldn't figure out what to eat and then it had been 4 hours since I ate, so I grabbed my emergency potato chip stash, and once my brain was refueled, I got to work making something I can almost make in my sleep.

I'll be filling several take out tubs with the leftovers from tonight. It gets better the longer it sits, freezes well, stays pretty good in the fridge for several days and maybe up to 2 weeks?

Feed yourself and Future Self will thank you. Feed your friends and loved ones.

the way izzy has grown on me over time is so fascinating, like i absolutely hated his ass while watching s1 and wished that they’d just throw him overboard, then after some time i realized that yeah he’s a really interesting character but still didn’t like him, but now i’m absolutely obsessed with the direction they’re taking his character this season and i’m really excited for more content with him. anyway con o’neill is an icon

@izuizzy I don't think they'd get along but i just couldn't help myself :)

enjoy and have a good night ✨

Can we please please talk about how this scene looks? Izzy is showing Stede the ropes??? Teaching him? Izzy possibly abandoned Edward 'The Kraken' Teach and is Mister Miyagi-ing Stede Bonnet to become a proper pirate? Maybe Izzy is even the one who made contact with Stede first? Ed is so delusional and angry and stuck in his grief that IZZY! of all people is helping Stede to set things right and bring him around? Either things are VERY bad on The Revenge or he really got very soft very quickly. Maybe a bit of both.

"So, picture my surprise when I had tried to lean in for a kiss And she just smiled and turned her head down,

And I asked her, "Why?"

She replied it was nothing I was doing wrong, it's just what it is. No, classy girls don't kiss in bars like this"

Jace: So, what’s for dinner? Isabelle, staring at the food she just burnt: Regret.

[fuckwhoeverpickedallthefunnyurls]

Any fanfictions out there where Ed and Stede DO actually open the inn but Izzy survived so he's just kind of their mascot

MY SHADOWHUNTER FANCASTS / FACECLAIMS

AC = CASSANDRA JEAN

this really isn’t generalised to one series, just particularly face claims / fan casts I have for the characters !! This is just how I see them BTW. (Also, I made this because I was rlly bored- that’s why all the edited photos here look really bad HAHAAH)

JACE HERONDALE - Rudy Pankow

SEBASTIAN MORGENSTERN - TOM GLYNN CAREY

ISABELLE LIGHTWOOD - DEVA CASSEL

JEM CARSTAIRS - WILL GAO

JESSAMINE LOVELACE - HANNAH DODD

I really wanna know what everyone else’s face claims / fancasts are ! So I can add them to my list.

Only on a little fun side note: this isn’t a fancast more like a hair cast (HAH that’s so stupid). But I really imagine Ty’S hair like this, and I hope they kind of stick to that during TWP.

Apparently I will do anything to avoid working on my WIPs.

Today I decided to make risotto for dinner. I love it and I'm good at working ingredients that need used, into the pan. Jeff even says it's good food and he's one picky gourmet!

(photo id, three pots on the stove: a wok with risotto, a pan with some broth, and a third smaller pan cooking the new batch of broth from rotisserie chicken bones and skin.)

I go out to the wine fridge to get some white, it's chicken, leek, fennel risotto, and a white will be nice.

As I'm pouring, some for me and some for Spouse and some for the broth, I hear childself say, "ooooh REAL cooking MAGIC🪄✨!'

so I think 🤔 about that a second, and realize that somewhere, around childself, I thought or concluded, that Real Adult Food optimally included alcohol.

Or often did.

Beer into chili or to make a quick bread. Wine into stews and or sauces.

Real Adult Cooking 🍳🔪 Magic 🪄✨.

Time to eat, so I may think more about this later.

Have you experienced this yourself? Realized that you had an unconscious belief underneath your (allegedly adult) life?
