I now understand why people say macarons are the hardest cookies to make :’D

[goldensadnessdolphin]

Baking macarons is both the best and worst time. Not because of how hard they are to make. They are actually incredibly simple, it's just a question of how insane you want to get by making them look "perfect". They taste well no matter how much they crack nor how perfect the foot came out.

No, my problem is that in the handful of times I made them so far, it always turned into a selftorture of waiting. I like them really chewy, so it's best to leave them out for a day after spreading filling on. THEY ARE SITTING NEXT TO ME YET I AM CURSED TO HAVE THEM AT THE WRONG TEXTURE IF I INDULGE NOW T.T

Anyways they look like this

(ID: a bowl of cracked, non-uniform chocolate macarons in a dotted beige bowl. The parts of the surfaces that aren't cracked are strewn with fine almond chunks)

I'm still working through my bag of finely chopped instead of ground almond flour, but they still taste amazing.

Theatrics aside, once I understood that you can make them quite easily if you don't let expectations of perfect be the enemy of macarons, they've become kind of a comfort bake. And I say that as someone who genuinely hates the prep and fucking dishes that baking entails. I made about 3 batches over the last 5 days or so.

Anyways, this is the video I learned from. Warning, the presenter gets loud at times. Aside from that I rarely recommend them because I don't vibe with them, but this video is genuinely worth the watch.

I learned that I personally probably like the batter a bit looser than he does because that means it should be denser, which I like most in macarons. That being said, the times prior to this I made them pretty much as chonky as he does in the video and they tasted great. Now I'm at the point where I feel comfortable adjusting the recipe for my tastes

Recipe for Halloween Macarons Macarons are colored for Halloween and filled with a mascarpone-caramel filling - very special treats that are worth every effort.

the macaron shells were a flop but they're basically a vehicle for fillings anyway and i made some delicious lemon buttercream and dragon fruit jam so i'm calling it a success

I finished "Kira Kira Pre Cure A La Mode" like a month ago, and I have brain rot that makes a Miraculous Ladybug AU out of anything with an animal theme so here we go. I would label this more as a crossover tbh and even thought of my own rules to make it coexist in the Miraculous Ladybug Universe.

Ko-fi | Patreon

To start, they break a few Miraculous Rules: the Miraculouses themselves have no resemblance to the animal they're imitating, and their powers are closer to their Pre Cure ones, which are baking/cooking based. And the reason I have for this is that these are technically not Miraculouses and technically not kwamis.

They aren't the "Miraculous of [x]" representing a concept, they're actually fairies who desire to be heroes. As such, they're actually at odds with Kwamis and there's a bit of a feud between them - the Kwamis have always worked alongside humans and see the Fairies as reckless and violating nature's laws, while the Fairies see the Kwamis as hording all the fun and not even trying to bridge the gap between them.

I imagine akumas would start showing up in Japan in Ichigozaka, bringing out the six PreCure Miraculouses, and they'd eventually follow them back to Paris to have a showdown with Hawkmoth AND the existing heroes. While the kwamis and fairies are having it out, the humans are meeting in the middle.

Ichika uses Whipp to become Crème Fouettée (Whipped Cream), a Bunny Hero with the ability "Batter Up", which captures the enemy in a giant cake. It has the side effect of being able to extract an akuma, but it can't purify it.

Himari uses Flann to become Swirl Caramel, a Squirrel Hero with modified clacker/rope darts as a weapon and the ability "Cherry Bomb", which is pretty self explanatory.

Aoi uses Aisuu to become Glace Bleue (Blue Ice), a Lion Hero with the ability "Gelato Shake", which encases her fist in a block of ice for even more painful punchs.

Yukari uses Cookie to become Kitty Macaron, a Cat Hero with a spiked yoyo and the ability "Cat Scratch" which inflates the size of the yoyo and increases their strength, making them able to scratch through anything.

Akira uses Chocco to Chien Rouge (Red Dog), a Dog Hero with the ability "Chocolate Armose" which creates a chocolate shield.

Ciel "uses" RinRin to become Blande Volante (Flying Bands), a Pegasus Hero with the ability "Kiracle Rainbow", which fully purifies the enemy and all of the damage caused during a fight. (If you know you know)

drunk cooking stream with schlatt

-the goal is to make some stupidly elaborate recipe

-like macarons or those stupid 24 hour cookies

-it starts off pretty well, the two of you having developed a system where you measure out the ingredients while schlatt mixes them

"Like a well oiled fuckin' machine," he'd boasted, carefully folding the merengue mixture as you sifted in the almond flour

-until schlatt insists you go shot for shot with him and you’re struggling to keep up

-you get tipsy a little quicker than he does (bc he’s massive) and start getting a little clumsy, fumbling with kitchen tools

-and the system devolved into him watching you like a hawk while you flit around the kitchen, easily distracted and giggly

-he confiscates your knife while you’re in the middle of chopping up strawberries because you almost lobbed off one of your fingers one too many times and he thinks he’s going to have palpitations

-he’s scolding you for being stupid bc he was worried and you’re not hearing a damn word it’s just like “blah blah blah, proper name, place name, backstory stuff”

-chat tattling on him for eating the ingredients while you’re not looking and he yells at them

-yells at them more once they clock him being drunk bc he’s getting rowdy

-trying to goad you into bickering with him and being generally menacing

-obnoxiously petting your hair like you’re a dog while you’re trying to do something

-practically hanging off of you while you’re trying to move around the kitchen

-inhibiting your ability to get anything done bc you have to drag a grown man with you everywhere you go

-he’s shuffling close behind you so he doesn’t have to unwrap his arms from around your waist, occasionally stepping on the backs of your shoes

-turning giving him a horrified look when he aggressively sniffs your hair and being like “alright you’re done”

-it only gets worse when you make him let go of you 😭 bc now his hands are free

-he’s picking things up and moving them when you’re not looking as a little pranky prank but forgetting where he puts them and having to help you find them

-very obviously fucking something up and blaming you for it

-like he knocks a cup of flour you’re standing next to over with his elbow and glares at you like it’s your fault

-catching him trying to steal ingredients again but this time he just feeds u some, grinning when your eyes light up and you’re like mmmm!!

-cannot have nice things bc it quickly turns into a food fight

-it’s all fun and games until he breaks an egg and u get mad so u banish him to sitting off to the side

-and he’s griping and huffing and puffing, trying to distract you from the task at hand

-it comes as a relief when he shuts up, allowing u to work in peace and chit chat with the viewers

-what u don’t see is him fighting his demons in the background

-eyes fucking LOCKED in on your ass while you move around the kitchen, u can almost see the loading circle spinning in his brain

-everything comes to a full stop when it sounds like a fucking GUN SHOT goes off and you’re yelping

-hearing his obnoxiously loud laughter over the sound of your whining while you press your forehead to the counter and try to soothe the tender flesh for a moment

-until you whirl around and use the half empty bag of chocolate chips as a melee weapon and get him across the head with it

-it’s your turn to laugh when he ends up on the floor with a pained groan

-does not last long bc he’s jamming his fingers into the sensitive area behind ur knees and you’re collapsing next to him in a fit of giggles

-on some spy vs spy shit

-once you collect yourselves, he’s up first, dragging you up after him

-walking around with a flour hand print on your ass for the rest of the stream 😔

-his head going empty again as he very intensely watches you aggressively tap the baking sheet on the counter to get all of the bubbles out of the batter before putting it in the oven

(AWOOGA? i haven’t heard that name in years….)

-forgetting said cookies in the oven while you make a ganache that turns out too light because SOMEBODY ate HALF OF THE FUCKING CHOCOLATE CHIPS

-he keeps on insisting it’s fine and you’re being dramatic until you show him the contents of the bowl and it’s like,, very light brown sludge

-when you take the cookies out they’ve become this gross brownish red, no longer the cute pink batter you put in the oven

-they end up being fugly and borderline inedible

-and you’re so sad bc you guys worked so hard (no u did NOT)

-he’s trying to make you feel better by forcing himself to eat one

-but the grimace on his face as he struggles to crunch on what was supposed to be a delicate treat just makes it worse 😭

-after stream he ends up door dashing u guys a sweet treat to make up for it

“Even though YOU fuckin’ ruined em.”

SR Jack Howl - Apprentice Chef Voice Lines

Summon Line: I'll make it so that I can make any kind of dish perfectly. It's never a bad thing to get better at cooking.

Groooovy!!: Woah, that one actually came out pretty good. I gotta do it again before I forget how I did it.

Home: I'm getting pumped!

Home Idle 1: These macarons... They're just tiny little pastries, but they take a lot of hard work. I guess I shouldn't just finish them off in one bite without a care anymore.

Home Idle 2: Apparently, there's a new kind of confection at the Mystery Shop. I heard about it from Ace. He's always up to speed when it comes to this sort of thing, huh.

Home Idle 3: I get a little nervous whenever Ruggie-senpai asks me about my cactus. Maybe it's because I learned that some places eat them...

Home Idle - Login: I mean, I've only ever helped out back home, so I don't have much experience, but I'm sure I'll get better if I just do my best. Putting in the effort has never failed me yet!

Home Idle - Groovy: Oh, doesn't it look like it's baked pretty well this time? [sniff, sniff] You smell that? I bet it's delicious!

Home Tap 1: The best time to replenish any lost carbohydrates from exercise is right after your training finishes. Eating a sweet compote will really help that exhaustion melt away.

Home Tap 2: The cafeteria's soup has way too much onions in it... I somehow gulped it all down, but the smell really messed with my nose.

Home Tap 3: Stick it in the oven and wait 5 minutes... I hate wasting time doing nothing. Guess I'll put away the cooking supplies.

Home Tap 4: I bet making the meringue can be a great way to train. I'll just use a whisk and... Hraaaaaah!

Home Tap 5: Urgh, too much batter came out. I keep messing up the amount of force I need to use. This piping bag is hard to use.

Home Tap - Groovy: Was it good? There's still some left over, so eat as much as you like! D-Don't read anything into it, or anything. I just made too much, so it's just what's leftover.
