i always feel bad when i see how the point of a lot of saiki's personality traits flew right over the heads of a lot of fans due to him being an unreliable narrator and a tsundere lol.. so a lot of things he says are immediately proved to be untrue and often just him putting up a front, but some people dont pick up on it..
like i see a lot of "haha saiki would never want to watch a romance movie" guys there is an entire chapter (170) dedicated to him being like "i much prefer mysteries to romance stories.." and then immediately becoming absolutely enamored with a romance story.. he was lying, guys, LMAO
less specific ones include:
"i hate children, they annoy me" *goes out of his way to help kids, comfort them, be kind to them, etc.*
"i only use my powers for self gain/my own convenience." "anyway my mama told me to never use my powers selfishly so i always use them to help people and i try my best not to use them for personal gain<3"
"those guys are so annoying, i would never hang out with them willingly." "yeah it took them about two sentences to convince me to go with them. their thoughts seemed like they really wanted me to go, so i did. i didnt want them to be upset. not that i care about them or anything."
(sorry i post about this kind of thing a lot, i just giggle a lot at how the entire manga is so easily misinterpreted and thousands of people have watched the show but didnt pick up on the main characters most defining character traits and frequent bits.. i think there needs to be a masterlist or something disproving all the extremely common misconceptions about saiki k lol)

i cant figure out how to phrase this as a poll so reblog game: tell me in the tags which of these you make at home more often than you buy them/whatever you want idfk:
peanut butter
whipped cream
'easy' baked goods (cookies, cake, brownies, etc) (but not from a mix)
'hard' baked goods (croissants, macaroons, etc) (are there mixes for this stuff?)*
jam/jelly
pasta (without filling)
pasta (with filling)
*dont fuckin ask me how to classify this stuff. id say if you need a scale and its like Pray To The Gods For Correct Humidity its hard and if its ehhh yeah you can throw some more vanilla in there as a treat its easy

Since in #7 Bernard Dowd is seen to want to be a Chef and I've had culinary arts schooling this is my list of oddly specific things pertaining to that. Use it as you want (just from my experience)
Having a callous on the base of your pointer fringer of your dominate hand from using a chef knife
Funky patterned chef pants
DISHES NEVER END
when you are moving with a hot pan or heavy items ect you tell everyone like HOT PAN! BEHIND. GOING AROUND THE CORNER. BEHIND!
small batches are cute but in a restaurant/bakery/etc you're doing big batches in industrial ovens and mixers. A batch of bread dough we made had 12lbs of flour and like a half gallon of water.
Culinary arts isn't just making food it's doing math, converting recipes, going over OSHA rules and restaurant regulations
After awhile you have enough knowledge to the point where you see a recipe on the internet and go "hey... I can make that. Like really easily" like you can just make curry or scallion pancakes or fancy food
You will notice the shitty knife cuts in like pre cut packages of fruit and veg at the store
You're not allowed to have nail polish or false nails (unless you want to wear gloves all the time)
You start to realise how easy it's is to do somethings for yourself. Like you can just buy a chicken and break it down yourself or make stock at home
Their will be at least one class day where you cut onions all day and leave in tears because everyone is literally cutting onions
Sometimes stuff gets pushed back in the fridge or it's after break and the food has grew a putrid smelling mold. Cleaning it is part of culinary, it's...Fun
Everyday you wear chef pants, a chef coat, a closed toe non slip shoe and a chef hat.
Your hands will get chapped af because you're washing them all the time, lotion is your friend
You do refer to your head chef as 'Chef' or 'Chef ____' (or at least we did)
You will fuck up except it and move past it. (I once put too many chips in the fryer, it over flowed and we had to clean it up)
Kitchens get hot and you're wearing pants and a coat that are designed to protect you from like boiling water being pored on them, so drink water.
You will get cut/burned/stabbed/squished fingers it's part of the job just don't get bodily fluids on the food
You're standing like the whole time no matter what
You know that gallon conversation thing you learned in elementary? You will see that in your sleep. Gallon to quart to pint to cup. Also 8oz to a cup. 3t to a T. 16oz to a Pound ect it's ingrained into my head now
With a bit of knowledge you now know things and you can use it. Like add Xanthan Gum to a blended drink to emulsify it and it's just like Starbucks.
On the down side people want you to make things
You start wanting things for your kitchen like a KitchenAid or a portion scoop or dehydrator and having that feeds back into "I can make anything"
Figuring out exact prices for things is crucial and a pain. Like you have to take the price of baking soda and figure out how much a 1/4t costs. It's not horrible ig but when you're doing it for a whole recipe or menu it gets repetitive.
Ok that's all I'm putting you get the idea

Coconut Lavender Tartlets Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Tart Shells:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1-2 tablespoons ice water
For the Coconut Custard:
1 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lavender extract (or a few fresh lavender buds, finely crushed)
For the Whipped Coconut Cream:
1 can (14 ounces) coconut cream, chilled overnight
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Garnish:
Toasted coconut flakes
Lavender buds
Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
Make the Tart Shells:
In a food processor, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Pulse to mix.
Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough starts to come together.
Press the dough into tartlet molds and prick the bottom with a fork.
Chill for 30 minutes, then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes or until golden. Let cool completely.
Prepare the Coconut Custard:
Whisk together sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan.
Gradually whisk in coconut milk, ensuring no lumps form.
Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and lavender extracts. Allow to cool slightly before pouring into the cooled tart shells. Chill until set.
Make the Whipped Coconut Cream:
Scoop out the solidified coconut cream from the chilled can, leaving any liquid behind.
Whip the coconut cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Assemble the Tartlets:
Once the custard is set, spoon or pipe the whipped coconut cream onto each tartlet.
Garnish with toasted coconut flakes, lavender buds, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
Serve:
Allow the tartlets to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best flavor and texture.

lots of random meandering in my dream last night but my personal favorite part was going into a gas station where they had vanilla sheet cake cut into cartoon cloud shapes with whipped cream instead of frosting. I wanted to buy and eat one so so so bad. I woke up thinking about how easy it would be to make...

I have been waiting all year for @sumocitrus to be back in the stores and now we have a giant bag of them! Entering for a chance at the contest they are running, but also if you haven’t had them, these are the best oranges I’ve ever had. Try em if you haven’t! Here is a @sumocitrus Japanese cream cake I baked at home! I may have also made a little orange syrup to put on each layer of chiffon cake. 🤤🍊
