Lithuanian Cepelinai

[vegehana-food]

✿ ツェペリナイ | Cepelinai ・ドイツの飛行船”ツェッペリン号”に由来しているそうです。ジャガイモで作った団子で肉を包み、飛行船の形に整えてから茹でてサワークリームをそのまま掛けたり、野菜を入れて仕上げたソースを掛けたりして食べられています。但し、この料理は現地の家庭でも作られる頻度が低いという変わった特徴があります。というのも、作り方が複雑で失敗する確立がとても高いからです。

There are times when Tolys gets too stressed, has a mental breakdown, and runs away into the wilderness. He becomes a feral woodland man for a while, until finally, someone is tasked to go hunt him down. I like to think that Feliks is often the one sent, cause nobody else can find him.

Out there trying to catch him in nets and pitfalls, luring him with cepelinai...

Ukraine: What's for dinner? :D

Lithuania: I can't tell you, it's a soup-prise!

Ukraine:...

Ukraine: Is it soup?

Lithuania: I soup-pose it could be! *winks*

Ukraine: Please, Liet, enough with the soup puns.

Lithuania: Wow, you're soup-per mean.

Ukraine: STOP! XD

Ukraine: It's cepelinai?!?!?!

Hey!! this is probably weird, feel free to ignore. Thing is some of my friends and I want to host dinners themed around foreign countries and I picked Lithuania, and I think you've mentioned that's where you're from (sorry if I'm wrong lol). Anyway just wanted to ask if you have any suggestions for any dish? I was going to look it up online but thought maybe you'd know better. Thanks!!

yes, i am! unfortunately i don't cook a lot so i don't know about proper meals, but the tinginys (means sloth in english) or alternatively called "lazy cake" is a really really simple and easy to make dessert/treat. it's basically just cookies and chocolate, so if you like that i think you could look into it!

besides that i quite like cepelinai, but i've never made any myself so i wouldn't be able to tell you if they're easy to make or not.

The Wild Side Of Me Chapter 7

A few days passed since Tolys and Alfred’s date. Alfred was glad to know that his boyfriend has a friend he can completely trust. But still, he need it time before he can completely like Gilbert and start to trust him. He couldn’t explain it, but he felt something really suspicious about the German man. Today, the American was on a day-off but his boyfriend had to work unfortunately. The man layed in bed a bit longer than usually. He was thinking about what he could do. Then an idea came up to his mind. He went to his kitchen and start it making pancakes for breakfast. When he finished, he took a sit in front of his TV and start it watching a movie on Netflix, while eating his breakfast. He thought about that time when he saw Tolys as a werewolf for the first time and when he told him about his abilities. Then another thought stroke his mind. "What if perhaps, Tolys had some other abilities as a werewolf, but didn’t know about them yet. But if so, what could those hidden abilities be?" wondered the American. Just as he finished his breakfast and watching the movie, he went to the bathroom to take a shower. After that he dressed up and went outside. He decided to take a walk around the park. He thought about what Tolys could have as his hidden abilities. As he walked, an idea pop out in his head:"What if he could actually turn into his werewolf form whenever he wanted to?" As the idea came up, he felt the need to go see his lover and ask him about it, but in the same time he was still at work and he really didn’t want to interrupt him. After the walk, Alfred went to the café shop where he and Tolys were on a date last time and ordered a coffee. Meanwhile waiting, he got a message from Tolys:"Hey hun, how are you doing today? As for me, the work is pretty rough. I’m affraid I won’t be able to see you today. One of my colleges got sick and I decided to takeover his work for him as well. So, I will probably come back home really tired. But tomorrow, I’m on a day-off. I hope you’re not mad at me. So how about we see each other tomorrow then?" The man smiled and texted back:"Hey love, I’m doing good. Oh and don’t worry. I’m not mad at you. I know you’re the type of helping others out. And that’s of the reasons I love you so much. Just, please don’t overwork yourself. And I know that you have a habit for waking up early, but please try taking some more rest if possible. And sure, I’m fine with seeing other tomorrow. Love you sweetheart." A moment later he got another message back:"I love you too <3" After café, he went back home, and most his day he spent on playing some video games.

The next day, Alfred came over to Tolys’s house. He locked at the door and it got opened by his lover. "Alfred, nice seeing you dear. I’m just about to finish making dinner." said the Lithuanian. "That’s amazing. Anyway, what are you making for dinner?" asked the American. "Oh, is nothing special. Really. I’m just making one of Lithuanian dishes. I’m making cepelinai."said Tolys. "I never tried those before, but I’m sure I’ll love it. Especially since it was made by you." said Alfred winking at Tolys. After the dinner was ready, the two lovers took their sits at the table. Alfred took a small bite of the food cooked by his lover. His immediately has lighten up and he start it stuffing his mouth with some more. Tolys felt so much joy seeing his lover enjoying the meal that he has prepared. "I see you really like it." said the Lithuanian. "Are you serious? I love it. You really do have a talent for cooking love. This tastes absolutely amazing. Told you I was gonna end up in love with your cooking." said the American. Tolys smiled shyly at him, as a blush appeared on his face. "Now, now. I am not that good. I mean, I’m not saying that I suck at cooking or anything but, I’m sure there are people who cooks better than me." said the man. All of the sudden, Alfred put his hand on Tolys’s cheek and leaned for a kiss on the lips. It was a pretty long kiss. After he let go, he said something really lovely to his boyfriend:"To me, you will be always the best cook in the world. And nothing will change. To me, you’re the master chief number 1 in the world. And I don’t care on how much the others will not agree." Those words made Tolys blush even harder and made him speechless:"I…Thanks love…" After dinner, the two lovers decided to watch a movie. "Tolys, there is something that came up to my mind yesterday and I wanted to talk about it with you." said Alfred. "Go ahead Alfred, say it." answered Tolys. "Well, I was thinking. What if you had some more abilities as a werewolf? You know, the hidden ones that you might not know about yet." said the man. "Like what?" asked the Lithuanian. "Like having the ability to turn into your werewolf form whenever you what for example." said the American. Tolys thought about it.

"Well, I never tried before. I never even thought about it in the first place. But I think I could give it a try. But maybe later thought. And maybe somewhere where no one can see. Beside my house or your house of course." answered Tolys. "Understood" said Alfred. "And beside, we still need to finish that movie." said Tolys. Alfred smiled:"You’re right. Anyway, how about we have a movie night with our friends?" "Sounds good to me. But, first we will need to ask them if they’re able to. I mean they could have plans. Or work." answered the Lithuanian. "True that" said the American. When the movie end it, they played some video games for a bit and later went on walk together. When they came back, they decided to take a nap together. Basically, they did stuff together until evening finally came. They went to the forest and made sure no one was around. They double checked just in case. "Alright, dear. Are you ready?"asked Alfred. Tolys stretched for a bit and answered:"I’m ready." He closed his eyes and concentrated on trying to switching to his werewolf form. After a moment, he felt something. His eyes changed and his teeth got sharp. Then a smoke appeared around him. When it disappeared, he found himself in his werewolf form:"It worked. It actually worked. Who would of have thought?" Alfred smiled:"Tolys, you’re absolutely amazing dear. Being able to turn into a werewolf whenever you want? That’s so cool." "You’re amazing. After all, you’re the one who come up with the idea. And I only tried to make it work." said the Lithuanian. Alfred went for a hug:"Oh, Tolys. I’m so happy to have such a lovely and badass boyfriend like you." Tolys’s tail start it waging with happiness:"I’m happy to have you as my boyfriend as well." After they stopped hugging, Tolys changed back to his human form and they went back to Tolys house, since he invited Alfred over for the night.
