“Don’t want the Board to watch,” Darling explains, not without an edge of embarrassment. “I mean, can you imagine if this --” he gestures to the small space between them-- “showed up on their minutes? I’d be-- mortified , is the word.”
Trench stares at him. It takes him a moment to find the coherency to respond.
“I’m sure,” he manages to say, “they wouldn’t mind extracurricular activities.”
a scene from my trench/darling fic, "minutes of the meeting" <3 i may not have finished the game yet but i am utterly enamored with darling and trench's dynamic of the bureau's golden child and his handler υ´• ﻌ •`υ

So I had two friends birthdays coming up so me and my roommate decided to make a cake. Both of said friends are aroace so why not make the aro ace flag cake. Only one of us has baking experience though... And their first ever cake was something. This would be their second.
The recipe made too much cake so this is the start it is dark blue velvet because red velvet was requested. As well as Bavarian cream. We tried our best.
We did a light blue cake and plain vanilla cake for the next bit. We decided we could work with the cake that was left it wasn't irreparable.
And then we fucked up. Had to buy more ingredients being so close to the end of cake and so many dishes.
Then we decided these new ones were good enough.
Total cakes 9 (we almost made this a pride knights 7 layer rainbow one)
We started putting the Bavarian cream between layers we still needed icing though.
Final product.
We will hope it lasts for tomorrow.

Does anybody have a dog treat recipe that involves soft cheese?
I bought myself a little treat while traveling from one of those fancy grocers that sells local produce. It's Terrible. It was supposed to be a smoked gouda but is reminiscent of a chemical spill in the kraft singles factory. Nova adores it though, but it's too soft to be practical as a training treat.

get better dreams girl its not too late
I do have better dreams tbh. Like - if I actually won the lottery I could eventually buy and renovate a house! I could have my desk and my bed in SEPARATE ROOMS. I might even be able to have TWO ROOMS with desks in it. That's the real dream.
But... I'm still studying. I don't have any idea where I'll end up working. I wouldn't want to move immediately. I'd get to focus on writing and studying more, but I'd still follow my other plans, if a little more slowly.
But I guess the real tell for if I won the lottery (aside from the fact that I actually wouldn't fully keep it secret) is.... well, I'd get a whole-country train ticket. I might go visit various cities on the weekends. Most importantly, I'd stop getting frightened every time I take a little longer in a class.
But yeah. I'd also get some new bins and a label maker. Though I might also get them if I just, like, get a second job.

I almost forgot to ask: do you want to tell us about your overnight oats?
Boy do I ever!!! Please continue under the cut if you want to hear me talk about breakfast for way too long
I've posted my overnight oats recipe before but generally speaking:
1/3 cup steel cut oats*
1/3 cup milk of choice**
1/3 cup yogurt of choice***
An Amount of peanut/almond/whatever butter, honey, maple syrup, granola, nuts, fruit, jam, seeds, etc. Go crazy go stupid
*Generally the rule should be 1 part oats to 2 parts liquid, so if you want all yogurt or all milk that's fine, and increasing to 1/2 cup oats would mean 1 cup liquid, etc. Also you can play fast and loose with this rule, it doesn't have to be exact
**my favorite milk rn is oat milk! It has kind of a natural sweetness that is nice, I don't really like milk in general so I have kind of just been buying stuff at random but I think this is what I'll stick with going forward
***I'm also obsessed with plain greek yogurt (this post is making me sound like a health nut??) so I add that but any kind works. I genuinely love the taste of plain greek yogurt but getting a good vanilla or other flavored greek / non-greek yogurt is a good way to add flavor without a ton of effort or adding other things :)
Add-ins I'm fond of:
BANANAS❗ super mild so they go good with anything
sesame seeds
cashews
replacing part of the yogurt or milk with spiced apple sauce is REALLY good
cookie butter is so so so good in it if you have that. I assume any sweet spread like nutella would be great too. I got my dad these fancy peanut butters for xmas and used some in my overnight oats and they were fantastic
chocolate chips, cocoa powder
Vanilla Extract...
Dried fruit like cranberries, raisins, mango, etc.
There's also lots of ideas out there, I tried to keep the above pretty straightforward but if you web search it people are making brownie overnight oats, tiramisu overnight oats, creamsicle, carrot cake, pina colada, the list is endless. At work, my old boss had learned about my obsession and gave me a ton of these packets from an overnight oats subscription service (??? they'll make anything these days) that his wife had gotten and didn't like. I'm not interested in buying it but it gave me some fun flavor ideas that you can see on their site if you click the link!
When I get some time I want to make bubble tea overnight oats by making some good milk tea for the liquid and topping it with tapioca pearls and brown sugar syrup :) I like that if you want to make something complicated out of oats you can but it's also very easy to just mix some oats and yogurt and be done with it. I've tried multiple times to make oats on the stove top and I'm gonna be real with you I think they're better cold, idk I've gotten in friendly arguments about this irl
I'm a big breakfast person and I know it's a meal a lot of people skip or substitute with caffeine but I do think getting some real calories in your system helps as much as good sleep does. It's unfortunate that we all have to work a ton and something as simple as "making breakfast in the morning" feels like a luxury on a workday. I like that I can prep something like this a few days in advance and enjoy it at work at my leisure <3 I'm lucky I work an office job that allows me to do that lol!
