#Pâté

[soaring-trash]

Here's an insane amount of little things i thought up about imodna :}

Imogen’s first attempts at crocheting where socks that Laudna now religously wears to sleep, they’re on the verge of falling appart but she loves them.

Laudna leaves an ichor stain on every mug she drinks from.

Imogen got spooked once and accidentally electrocuted a wooden mug.

Imogen loves laudna’s neck and unreasonably large amount because it shows that she loves every part of her.

Pâté likes to hang out in Imogen’s scarf like its a baby swaddle.

Imogen likes listening to Laudna’s heart beat, she’s traumatized from when her bbg died so she finds it very calming.

Laudna still sleeps with her eyes open sometimes.

the hound makes biscuits.(Pâté tries too)

Laudna made Imogen an earring like the ring imogen gave her.

imogen holds the blood necklace when she misses Laudna.

A bit of random once-in-a-blue-moon fan art as an attempt to unclog my brain so I can maybe get some actual adulting done.

Have a Pâté.

Pâté turned one year old last week!

on April 27th, 2022, Wildbow released a short story about a 5 star chef. We've been through approximately 5 arcs of pale since then. We still don't know what The Pit is.

we made some fanart to celebrate

J’ai passé 4 jours en Auvergne, à la limite entre Haute-Loire et Puy-de-Dôme, histoire de replonger un peu dans certaines de mes racines,

- les 4 premières : pique-nique frugal (pâté et pain !) entre Le Bourg et Agnat

- le reste : Saint-Hilaire avec une belle forêt de résineux.

Ingredients

1 pound chicken livers

6 tablespoons butter at room temperature, divided

2 slices bacon, chopped

1 cup chopped shallots (about 4 small shallots)

1 clove garlic, chopped

1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and chopped into 1/2-inch cubes

1 tablespoon sage, chopped

1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves

1/4 cup apple brandy or bourbon

1 teaspoon salt

Pepper to taste

2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup clarified butter, melted (optional)

Thyme and sage sprigs (optional)

Sliced baguette, crackers or mini toasts, for serving

Instructions

Trim the livers of any excess fat and tough connective tissue. Set aside in the refrigerator.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until edges are just beginning to brown. Add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are soft and browning at the edges. Add the livers, apple, sage and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until the livers are just barely pink inside when cut and the apple pieces are soft.

Transfer the liver mixture to the bowl of a food processor. Pour the brandy into the skillet and bring to a boil over low heat, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Boil for about 1 minute to reduce slightly, then pour over the liver mixture. Add the salt. Process until mixture is very smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Transfer mixture to a bowl and mix thoroughly with the remaining 4 tablespoons of softened butter. Add pepper to taste. Pack into small jars or ramekins and smooth tops with a spatula or knife. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing wrap against the surface of pâté. For longer storage, pour enough clarified butter to cover the top of each ramekin and add a decorative herb sprig. Chill until butter is firm and cover with plastic wrap or a lid. For best flavor, refrigerate at least overnight before serving.

Let soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving with crackers or baguette slices. Pâté will keep refrigerated for up to one week, or up to two weeks with the clarified butter seal.

Notes

To give the livers a milder flavor, place in a bowl and cover with milk. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight, drain and proceed with recipe.

For a very smooth pâté, press the mixture through a medium sieve before mixing with the softened butter.

BTW chicken pâté is not the same as foie gras. Both are a liver mousse, but unlike the inhumane force feeding that ducks and geese under go to produce foie gras, chicken pâté is made using healthy, lean chicken liver which is combined with fats such as butter during the actual cooking of the pâté.

Pâté in general is actually far more humane than foie gras, as it is typically made with pork liver, which does not need to be force fed. Leaner meats can also be used, and pork fat or butter is usually added to these to prevent the pâté from drying out in the oven.

Not as controversial, but still interesting enough to mention, is terrine. Terrine is generally made from more than just liver, containing things such as minced pork hock, lamb leg, duck breast, etc.

In conclusion: Terrine is a meat loaf. Pâté is a meat loaf made from liver. Foie gras is pâté made from force fed goose or duck liver. Terrine and pâté are typically humane, foie gras is not.

laudna panicking and chetney saying “hey, look, pâté, we don’t usually call on you very much. talk some sense into this bitch, will you?” and pâté saying “I regret to inform you, tiny fuzzy man, I only take orders from her.” and laudna saying “you don’t trust them either, ashton, the big rock person!” and pâté saying “I don’t know, I think he’s actually pretty nice.” and laudna shouting “shut up!” and stuffing pâté back into her backpack (bonus: chetney hollering “I tried to tell you!”) 🤣
