#Velveeta Fudge

[hatefulvirago]

Velveeta has to b the worst think to come out of white America

[hopegillespie72]

[hood-ex]

Do you know Dylan Hollis’ food videos? I know there’s a lot of head canons and comics out there about Dick’s ability and willingness to cook, but I like to think that at least one thing that would get Dick in the mood to start up an oven (no matter how exhausted and busy he’s been) is the idea of getting to try out century old recipes with Alfred. I just feel like Alfred would enjoy explaining all the weird science that goes on in baking/cooking and Dick would like seeing all the ridiculous food combos

I want Alfred to gleefully watch Dick's curiosity shift to disgust as cocoa powder and powdered sugar get mixed into a pan with a huge block of Velveeta cheese.

Dick: There's no way this is a real recipe. Did Bruce put you up to this? Did he tell you to test my observation skills? Because I thought he was done with all of that after I found the egg in my tissue box this morning.

Alfred: Master Bruce would rather crack that egg over his head than have anything to do with this recipe.

Dick: I might join him if this so-called fudge keeps looking like this.

[the-down-upside-finch]

I just want to ramble because there is no way to explain just how excited I am to get to publishing the part of Minding Q's where Nic and Chase are introduced

Because here’s the thing. Their relationship is simultaneously the most wholesome and most unhinged of anyone in the story so far, and also

Chase is literally the world's biggest jerk for his entire intro sequence. This is because Nic woke him up at 5am and told him they were going on a surprise roadtrip. "You’re driving." Imagine being stuck in a car with the most hangry and sleep-deprived person ever because that’s basically what happens.

Nic spends the entire intro being like "I SWEAR HE'S NOT ALWAYS LIKE THIS I JUST REALLY SCREWED UP THIS MORNING I PROMISE HE'S A SWEETHEART I PROMISE" while there’s this hulking used-to-be-wrestler-now-artist getting ready to kick his legs out from under him (not really but he’s thinking about it)

And then someone asks Nic why he calls Chase his companion instead of his boyfriend and it escalates to "So is it a friend thing or a romantic thing?" And that's literally the one thing that will certainly make Nic snap

Nic threatens Chase with lo-fi music

Chase threatens Nic with "I will flush your wallet down the toilet" "I will throw you into the street" "I will yeet myself out of the window if you do that again"

Chase is the only one that is allowed to carry Nic, but Nic is so tall that Chase is the only one that is actually capable of throwing carrying him

Chase is the one that cooks. Nic thinks it's funny to keep gifting him goofy aprons and yes. Yes it is funny.

Back to the intro scene. Even Sterling knows that Chase is usually a dork. a goofball, if you will. So seeing him fly off the handle in search of pancakes is very concerning. "MY COUSIN LOVES YOU SO PLEASE CALM DOWN SIR--"

Chase will not drink anything that was poured by or opened by someone other than himself. Nic knows this and keeps bottled drinks in the fridge just for Chase as well as juice boxes and Caprisuns because those are pretty hard to tamper with.

"Hey wanna play that new game you got?" "Nic, it's a single-player game." "Yes I would like to watch you play and I can keep an eye out for treasure you miss." (Ten minutes later, "WHY DIDN'T YOU PICK UP THE SHINY THING IT WAS RIGHT THERE" "NIC MY INVENTORY IS FULL")

Nic constantly having to ask Chase what he's drawing before peeking over his shoulder because Nic is SR ace and Chase draws NSFW stuff for a living

Nic coming home from work going "I got a new plant" "WHERE ARE WE GOING TO PUT THAT WE ALREADY HAVE SO MANY" and then their weekend project is building a new shelf

Chase saying things like "You need a new toothbrush." And Nic is always just like "IF YOU SAY SO???" So Chase just swaps it out with a new one when Nic’s not home.

Chase and Brooke (Nic's twin) having a phase where they are both really into bardcore music and keep playing it around the apartment and they have a bet going to see how long it takes for Nic to break

Nic and Chase know each other so well that they can order for each other without even asking. They just know. There’s never been a single panicked text saying "MAKE SURE YOU GET ME ____" when the other person is getting food. There's complete trust on that front.

Chase gets cold really easily. He chooses to fix this with hugs.

"I found a recipe for Velveeta fudge, can we try it" and Chase just stares at Nic in a brief moment of horror before going "f*ck it we ball" and grabbing his keys to go get the ingredients.

Nic makes it a hobby to find unhinged recipes for Chase to try cooking. Most of them turn out bad but they have fun making them anyways and Chase has a cast iron stomach anyways so nothing really goes to waste

"Hey Chase if I were an animal what animal would I be" "I already told you I'm not drawing you a fursona for free"

Nic going with Chase to the gym just so he can help make sure no one tries to bother him

It's the "Do you think stars have feelings" dynamic except with conspiracy theories instead.

Sorry I had to get that out of my system because I just love my characters so much.

[the-cat-and-the-birdie]

So I was watching Dylan B. And it dawned on me. Ansi is from the 80s. The 80s. She's from that generation where they came up with those weird food concoctions like throwing cheez whiz into cornbread. And yet she'd be there doing it too 😭.

Whenever the three of the 3 of them are hanging out at HQ or just vibing on Hobie's boat she'll bake something. And at first it starts off with your typical 80s treats like monkey bread or some blondies. But sometimes she'll walk out of Hobie's kitchen looking like she's holding toxic waste with the biggest smile on her face.

And it's always a gamble on what you're gonna get, because sometimes her baked goods, while unorthodox, are actually really good. Nobody thought the Velveeta cheese fudge would've turned out well but they were pleasantly surprised. Sometimes though she makes things that are so foul that Hobie, I'll eat anything, Brown debates throwing it overboard after she leaves. (Diane probably has Hobie poison taste test before she tries anything and even then she's skeptical because of his Britishness.)

They give her their honest opinion for each thing that she makes as calmly as they can without hurting her feelings. And since she's trying to learn how to bake using her own groceries they don't have the heart to stop her. However, Ansi is straight up banned from making jello salad because of all the vile concoctions she kept coming up with.

"I thought adding pickles and olives to the jello would give it a more balanced flavor."

"NO."

(You have to know that I saw some of the most horrendous meals while searching up examples. I know there was a whole crack epidemic going on but weren't people coming up with good ideas back then? WHY ARE WE PUTTING THESE THINGS TOGETHER? ASPARAGUS CAKE. ASPARAGUS 😭😭😭😭)

This ask had me WEAK as hell because I imagine Diane eating every sweet like

Being all GREEDY because she loves food. The first one in the kitchen like 'what's this now' and she will try to rope people into it if she can!!

Plus like...never letting the British rest when it comes to food

Hobie is all hesitant and she's like 'Weren't you eating spotted dick yesterday'. 'You're bugging out, it's like Yorkshire pudding and all that.' Then she stands there waiting for him to eat it even though she was the one who was all excited to try jhhfjjdkf

And when she does like it the house Never gets quiet for there. She's all "Yeessss, snaps to this!!" or going "Okay, chef!". Everytime Ansi come in the room she's complimenting her (with another piece in her hand)

But on the inverse, since Diane LOVES soul food and is so greedy her food is A LOT.

Everything need Adobo and Larry's and Old Bay Seasoning. (Yes all three) Everything needs butter. Salty as hell and if it's spicy it's damn near too hot to taste.

She loads up the plate with cornbread AND yams AND mac & cheese, then hands it to them like it's lunch. Why'd she make so much goddamn collard greens? Wakes up in the morning like 'ya'll want sum grits and shrimp?" Ma'am it's 9am.

She makes all this heavy ass buttery food, eats the whole thing then looks at Ansi and Hobie like

"Ya'll not hungry?? - I'm hungry. This is good food - Hobie you okay you ain't finish"

and it's like yeah cause it looks like you deep-fried this burger in lard the man has heartburn

Pavi says she's tryna fatten everyone up like the witch from Hansel & Gretel but she's just trying to make sure everyones soul is FED OKAY

Oh, the glamorous life of a retired 58yo homeowner.

Item 1 One of the nice things about being retired is being able to do things on a different schedule than everyone else. For example, we ski/snowboard in the middle of the week, because it's cheaper and the slopes are less crowded. We also tend not to eat out on Saturday night. Last night, I made a four-part dinner.

Million dollar dip[1] which is very easy and amazing especially with smoky bacon and sweet onion.

Stuffed skirt steak[2] which was originally supposed to be flank steak but couldn't find any. First time with this one, and it turned out very well.

Roasted brussels sprouts.

Velveeta fudge[3], which is better than it sounds but not as good as I'd hoped so it will mostly be consumed with ice cream.

That's a lot of time in the kitchen, but IMO worth it (despite the complete lack of acknowledgement from my dear wife).

Item 2 While I was working in the kitchen yesterday, I noticed some mouse poop in the space under the kitchen island. Yeah, ick. So I set a trap, and this might have been my quickest kill ever because I found the body this morning. Even more "exciting" is that the hole right next to there is probably where they've been getting in all along. (It's sloppy work for an electrical conduit that feeds the range and smaller microwave.) It's covered over with duct tape right now, which will at least allow me to test that theory. Some day I'll probably fill it with steel wool or something.

Item 3 While finishing the cleanup today (some things needed to soak), I decided I'd had enough with the collection of sold-as-disposable plastic lunch/leftover containers and lids. We hardly even use them since I got some good glass ones, so I put about a dozen of the worse-off ones in the recycle. Then I added about two dozen lids that don't even have matching containers any more. That shelf looks so much better now.

Does that all seem horribly mundane? Well, it is. Even after three and a half years, I feel like I'm still recovering from all the craziness of having a career and raising a child simultaneously. Tomorrow I'll probably do taxes, which I've promised I'll get done before I fire up the 3D printer that's already sitting in the basement. For now, it's back to Sovereign Syndicate.

[tired-and-kinda-scared]

We've just recently been told to make a recipe for fudge that initially disgusted us, but SOMEHOW works.

Velveeta fudge.

How it actually tastes like fudge I'll never know but I'm convinced we unknowingly made some pact with a cooking deity when making it because it's good!

Although it did start bubbling when we added the vanilla, soooooooooooo.

It was a rather boring Thursday when this recipe occurred to me. I had the desire for Mac and Cheese, as one is wont, but I realized I had no mac and only a block of velveeta that had been destined for fudge. The cacophony of madness struck and soon I had an edible dish.

What you’ll need is: 2 free-floating packets of the Velveeta cheese sauce, which exist apparently OR 1lb Velveeta Processed Pasteurized Cheese-flavored Cheese-based Plasticine food by-product 2 cups shredded cheese of your choice 4-6 cups of milk

2tbsp curry powder 1lb ground meat 1lb Spaghetti Garlic Powder to taste Salt and Pepper to taste

Presumption of Action: 1. Boil water as directed for Spaghetti 2. If using the not-cheese-sauce recipe, melt the Velveeta in a pot 3. Add Milk until you get a loose sauce 4. Add in the cheese slowly until fully melted 5. Add milk to loosen sauce to a bit looser than desired. Add curry powder 6. Don’t panic as the water boils and now you have to manage the cheese sauce and the pasta. 7. Cook pasta to al dente (correct) 8. While pasta cooks, brown meat, add to sauce. 9. Loosen sauce with Milk if necessary. 10. Hold in the panicked screams as you drain the pasta and try to keep the sauce loose. 11. Combine sauce and pasta, season with garlic, salt, and pepper to taste. 12. Serve
