Tokyo revenger hc: Eastern European edition

TR headcanons for our Eastern European viewers, I'm writing this together with @dollzyy

School hc:

You can always tell which desk is baji's because there are always locks of black hair, 5 hair bands, and 3 different types of hairbrushes lying on the desk.

Takemitchy always brings that off-brand coca-cola and shares it with everyone

The school canteen is like a holy place

Mikey unironically loves milk soup and beats up anyone who makes fun of it.

They always have markers with them and draw dicks on every school corner. One time they got caught and the school staff threatened to call their parents. Baji and Takemitchy got really scared and started to cry.

Baji has a collection of ushankas. one day he came to school wearing an ushanka with soviet symbol and got kicked out.

when its time for pe the stadium turns into a battlefield.

takemitchy blames the girls for not being able to throw the ball into the basket.

Random hc:

Mikey smells like household soap -

Takemichi always has sunflower seeds in his pockets

Ran and Rindou used to live in those old block of flats

Mikey lives the farest from the whole gang

-Shinichiro was the one to teach mikey all of the swear words, and then mikey would teach them to his friends

Kisaki is very good at peeling potaoes

During summer, they would all gather together and go to the nearest river to swim and have fun

They’d always go to those little corner shops for that cheap 15cent ice cream

Mitsuya grew up in a village, every babushka loved him

Baji’s mom would always call him to go home the earliest when he and toman would hang out

Somehow takemichi always gets chased down by those street dogs, and everyone thinks that it’s the funniest thing ever

In summer schinchiro used to work at a fast food place that serves kebabs and the whole toman would go there to eat

Baji’s mom makes the best borsch

ran and ridou have very sovietic grandparents who always preach about Stalin being the best thing that happened to them

Smileys and Angrys mom would never let them go outside until they ate cutlet or borsch

baji, inupi, draken, and mikey always go to the dumpster to find used bycicle parts but instead find knocked up takemitchy

One time kazutora got chased down by the LDL security because he stole from there

forget about chips, dry instant noodles is top snack

HINA IS VERY GOOD AT MAKING PELMENI, AND TAKEMICHI ALWAYS ASKS HER TO MAKE MORE SO HE CAN SHARE WITH TOMAN

mitsuya tried to do a perm on hakkai, but he ended up burning hakkais har off, thats why he's bald

Instead of going to an actual hair salon and getting a professional haircut, they go to Shinichiro's garage, where they get to sit on an old bucket and experience the power of Phillips 2004 electric shaver (you are lucky if you come out of that place without a cut)

Baji has a full Adidas set

5 and 26 for the ask game? :)

5) favorite form of potato?

Impossible question. I love potatoes! But even then which type of potato are you referring to??? There are like so many type of potato?????? It really depends on WHERE im getting the potato item from or the brand, or the prep. The only thing I will 100% not eat is potato salad. Texture+flavors don't fucking agree in that. Hate it.

Ughhhh if I had to do a favoriteee... Homemade Family Secret Cheezy Scallop Potaoes

26) how’s your spice tolerance?

Low

I have a reallllly bad acid reflux due to my stomach not doing stomach things properly. As a result I don't eat a lot of spicy food and my tolerance is really low. I do like orange chicken occasionally, even though it makes me sick in like 3 ways

If you practice magic, I need you to read this.

Just 2 days ago, in the city I call my home, something appeared on the floor of an empty ex-restaurant. There it was, a pentagram, surrounded by candles and potaoes. What was in the middle? A HAMBURGER, perfectly wrapped, like it was from a fast food chain. 

The people in my neighborhood started to panic, nobody knew what happened or how can someone do a ritual in plain sight, mind you it’s just 7 blocks from the central square of the city, how can it appear out of thin air. Personally, I had to calm down my best friend. She has anxiety and it triggered her. I had to tell her not even someone who does dark magic would do it like that, not matter the type of the energy we work with, there’s a few ground rules. I assured it was the acts of someone wanting to go viral o just frighten people. 

Today I learned it was A MARKETING TACTIC from a restaurant that’s soon to open called Ghost Burger. They drew an upside down pentagram, they placed the candles, sprinkled the french fries and put the hamburger in the middle of it. 

Now everyone thinks it’s amazing marketing, and that magic is marketing. 

I’m beyond sad, hurt and angry. 

Thankfully my friend is ok, I taught her a bit about how energy works and how the earth teaches us. 

[anxiouslysapphic]

Favorite color, food, and animal? Do You have a hobby? Favorite type of cake? (Aces represent!) hot or cold? Favorite season, weather and musical?

favorite color?

I like any color in the right aesthetic, like just not pure neons you know? And I mean like spring/faded pinks and purples aesthetic, and woodland/warm browns and greens and greys aesthetic, like im not picking about colors it's jjst about how they fit in with the aesthetic around them.

Food?

Potatoes. Like as fries, hashbrowns, mashed potatoes, soups, like jjst potatoes in general are always my favourite, although most of the time my favorites friend on my cravings of the time but I will always love a good potao thing

Animal?

Ok i love animals, just like all of them. As long as your pet is not a snake or a spider I will be snuggling and petting and cooing all over them (yes Including fish, i always find a way) but when it comes down to what I would want to own, I would say cats. I love dogs to the end of the earth, just they can be so loud and energetic sometimes and that can easily trigger my anxiety. Also n it a big fan of dog smell....

Cake?

Hmmmm... That's a hard one... I always love a good chocolate or red velvet, although the occasional treat of a carrot cake or something.... jjst anything that isn't pure vanilla (cause in my opinion And expirance most plain vanilla cakes just kinda taste like sugar??? Idk)

Season?

Fall, for sure, hands down. I love the leaf changes and the pretty aesthetics of nature. I love being able to break out my sweater collection. I am a master of fall looks, like sweaters, scarves and cardigans. (I love winter too, it's my second fav, but winter can jsut be so cold) I love the coziness of a nice warm fireplace...

Musical

I answered that one a little before, I don't really have a overall favorite musical it just depends on what I've been listening to at the time, like current obsession, and that is a very potter musical as of late.

[shoezuki]

So my stupid dummy stepdad got very drunk again heres the highlight reel lads

Hes been throwing godlfish crackers all over the counter and eating them like a fucking animal

Talked in depth about guns? Like. The concerning parts about whats illegal

'I will beat up your ex for you hannah' was stated multiple times for me. Its not necessary but appreciated

He also said hed beat up my dad

Apparently tomorrow were going to the gun range with a rifle and a potao to see if you can use a potato as a silencer

He says he supports me being a lesbain (im not a lesbain but the thought is there)

He attempted to tackle my youngest sister, tripped, and has been laying on the ground while ive typed this

i think he fell asleep

[gaydiarrheafarting]

Favourite fruit, veg, and style of potaoe? (ie. french fry, mashed, baked, etc)

I really really really like raspberries!! maybe carrot for favourite vegetable, but only cooked lol (I’m picky :p) and I love ALL types of potatoes I really really love potatoes lol

Liver & Gallbladder flush 3

Based on Andreas Moritz’s method. Using his book The Amazing Liver & Gallbladder Flush, 2012 (also The Liver and Gallbladders Miracle Cleanse, 2007). Supported by information shared by Alia Moayed.

Started  Tuesday 9 June 2020 with the aim for the Flush day to be within the last 10 days of the moon cycle, in the waning phase. The ten last days are 11-20 June, my flush falls on night of 14 and day of 15 June, Sunday into Monday. I choose for the flush to be on the last ten days because of understandings of how the body sheds or at least does not hold on to water as it would in the second ten days of the cycle. I am influenced too by energy cycles - a reference to that is: minute 2:25 to 4:30 Biogeometry العشرة الأواخر و الخلوة

Note that on this flush I exceeded the recommended timespan between the last flush and this one, beyond the desired 3-4 weeks and the maximum 6-7 weeks. This is because I was not ready for one right after Ramadan, and so I took the risk. This flush is 8 weeks after flush #2.

This post is in tandem with a post named Symptoms & changes post Liver & Gallbladder flush

Also, link to flush 1, flush 2.

-

Walk through my process, day by day.

Apple Juice intake: I  have an apple juicer. One liter is about 12 fresh moderate sized apples (up to 16 apples if smaller). This time I am drinking one or less than one glass when I wake up. I have breakfast an hour later. Then: I drink two hours after breakfast, till 5pm, with food intake one hour after taking it at least, and leaving two hours after food intake. Per flush 2, I started drinking when I wake up and before breakfast this time, differently from flush 1, because in flush 1 preparation time was tight, when the intake was two hours after breakfast and leaving space before lunch and after lunch. This approach is working better. I end up drinking 3 cups before lunch of 200 ml each or approx, and 2 after lunch and by 5pm. I sometimes exceed the 1 liter since I assess per cut and not per exact measure. This is to compensate for the foam that takes up some of the juice space.

Water intake: I should drink a full liter of water or so. It is something that is not common in my day to day so till now I haven’t adapted to that. That said I do drink hot herbal teas enough to possibly replace my shortage of pure water consumption.

Meal times: Breakfast ranges up to max 9:30am. Lunch around noon up to max 1:30 (when metabolism is highest it is said), dinner: am working around having it around or before sunset, ie before 6:30 but sometimes having it later, up to 8:30pm.

Tea, coffee: I have made a decision not to have tea and coffee intake, one exception on family Friday breakfast. This was recommended by Ali Al Moayyed I believe, though to the extent of my reading, Andreas Moritz does not mention it.

Bread: I am eating bread this time. Flush #2 was hard on me and I felt like my body weakened and I needed more substantial intake as well as to not go too different from my usual diet.

-

Day 1 Tuesday: (at Zeyna’s) breakfast: toast, zaatar, cucumbers // Lunch: Eggplant with Burghul and salad // Dinner: Spinach sauteed with onion and olive oil, bread, ginger, olive oil dip with pepper, and the remainder of the eggplant from lunch.

Day 2 Wednesday: Fruit bowl (banana, peach) with sunflower seeds and walnuts, as well as bread spread, with zaatar (w/olive oil) and cucumber, as well as bread with butter and local honey // Lunch: Rice with lentils, and tomato salad with parsley, including salt and olive oil. // Dinner: Avocado sliced with tomatoes salt olive oil, bread. and I believe slices of ginger on bread slice with olive oil and salt.

Day 3 Thursday: Breakfast: Fruit bowl with walnuts and sunflower seeds // Lunch: Zuccini and orange capsium sliced in the oven with olive oil, and a full garlic in oven with bread // Dinner: Same as lunch.

Day 4 Friday: Breakfast: Zaatar Manakeesh (ordered) with cucumbers, mint, green olives. (I did have tea here) // Lunch: Mloukhiyyeh (no chicken or chicken stock) and white rice, with onions and lemon sauce // Dinner: Slices of a loaf of bread, cucumbers, tomatoes, salt, ginger (fresh), oliver oil.

Day 5 Saturday: Breakfast: Slices of a loaf of bread, ones with zaatar (dry) without olive oil, with cucumbers, and ones with butter and honey // Lunch: lentil soup (including potatoes) and green salad (with olive oil, salt, pepper) // Dinner:  Sweet potatoes with onion ginger and olive oil in oven, spinach with pinenuts grilled, and olive oil, also regular potaoes with green oinion and olive oil.

Day 6 Sunday: Breakfast: Mango, peach, clementine. // Lunch: tomato eaten as is and clementine. note: at lunch I had a first of a salad I had prepared that I mistakenly added olive oil to so stopped then.

Day 7 Monday: First, juice: grapefruit // second, fruit: pear // third, light food: boiled potatoes and a mixed salad. 

Day 8 Tuesday: I decided to do the closing round of Enema on this day, differently from flush 2, because I felt that the last stone release was that morning, also, because I am getting my period anytime so favoured not having the Enema done then.

--

Series of releases. Not in order. Note that this time some sizes were larger that Flushes 1 and 2. And that there were three noticeable types, see first image. It seems too that this time, only one stone (the last one released), has a crust of a different colour and possibly nature than what is observed in others. Might it be from the gallbladder since Andreas notes that ones from the gallbladder are calcified? Is this one calcified?

Top, three noticeably different makeup. the middle and right stones are from Day 1 (7) so they became darker at time of taking the photo from initial colour, the one on the left is from Day 2 (8). The photo was taken on Day 2 (8)

Top: One stone cut in half. This is from the batch of Day 1, first release. Photo taken Day 2.

Top: One stone cut in half. This is from the batch of Day 2, first release. Photo taken Day 2. 

Top: To show in closeup one of the bundles of releases from Day 1.

Top: Tried to capture the difference in hues of the batches but the difference is faint in photo.

Top: Total releases from start to finish. Note the documentation did not include times released without stones either in the early a.m. of Day 1 or other times till Day 2.

waddup some questions jazzin' ur way 6, 21, 32 & 43

yoooo thank you!!

6.       What kind of perfumes do you like?  - i like the one’s with fruity tones, like apple and lemon, but also if i can get peony i’m going for it. and i really like men’s perfume?

21.   What do you think would be a good concept for a children’s book? - i’ve been thinking about this forever and i can’t come up with anything good but i’m thinking; as long as it deals with issues in a way children can understand it’s fine. animals are good. or say, a kid walking through a town and seeing all the different type of people, stores, institutions, reflecting on what it sees. 

32.   What do you instinctually imagine a fairy looks like? - female, has a dress that kinda looks like tinkerbell’s (flower petals skirt), skin is lowkey transparent and in a pastel colour. hair is worn down. 

43.   What do you feel must be included for a dish to be a salad? - i meannnnn it depends on what kind of salad you’re making. a green salad needs some kind of edible green leaves. a potato salad needs potaoes. there isn’t one rule that applies to everything.

my sister’s ask list

[happy-pineapple-sticks]

Im having a week. Chemistry fell even further behind bc osullivan wasn’t here and ive had shit sleep and no motivation. Ive been waking up later and later and getting to school has been harder and harder.

 Its so ironic that like just this afternoon miss short was telling me I should do alchol for one of my graphics colums. “its too close to home but it’s a good idea..” I thought. Its to close to home but this is why I need to do it.

 “do you want to put those potatoes on”

Those potatoes

The fucking catalysts.

I told mum I would cook them later on, after they had had tea, if I wanted them. Apparently she told him that 3 time.

Then when we got home….. if looks could kill mum would have died. He ingored her and continued to seethe in the kitchen. Then after about 10 mineuts of trying to make small talk to lighten the mood, mum almost started crying and went to bed.

Then he asked me if I was going to put on those damn pototes. An hour, maybe just over, after I had eaten.

“no I don’t want them yet, ill get them later when I want them”

The sigh he gave me. The face he made.

Sometimes…. Just sometimes adults make you feel like they wish u hadn’t been born. Having your dad give you one of those faces isn’t oemthign a child should have to receive. Not over damn potaoes. i mean shit im used to it. The amount of times Ive tried to talk to him and he reponds in a way that says he give shit more time than he gives me…..

But you know, I did what every teenager dose, I stormed upstairs.

I ignored it.

No one talked to eachother for hours. All the while downstairs was my dad. Getting more and more drunk.

“Menolly wheres your dad” “uh I don’t know is he not downstairs?” “no?”

I went down to look. No phone, no wallet, 7 full cans of beer still in the bag. No note.

Ive not felt feer and anger like it before, I imagine its what being a parent is like.

So I called him. “hello?” “hello?” “where are you?” “im in town” “why” “I went to get a drink” “why theres still 7 cans here” “what I cant here you” “why are you in town” “what” then I hung up on him in anger.

Mum went downsraris and called him. After 15 mineutes- maybe more- he came home like he said he would.

I tried to explain that I was worried. That I was upset. The the drinking has been on and off sicne I was 12 and until tonight I haven’t cried as hard as I cried tonight. That I just wanted my dad back. He said hed “take in to concideration” and then mum started to attack him. To tell him how awful and angry he gets. She makes it worse becase she dosent know shes part of his problem.

he said he uses it as a coping mechanism. I asked him what he thougth his life would be like if he stopped. He said short and then she asked him what hes coping with. He said somethigns are better left unanswered.

 If im showing you this message its becase you know he drinks, or I wanted to tell you he dose. But I wanted to show you a little bit of the reality. I know you all know its bad, but ive been crying for the last hour even as I type this…. They have still been arguing. Quietly tho. Becase it never stops. I come home and this is what its like.

i dont want your sympathy, i jsut wnat people to know that this is what its like

11 questions meme

another meme, this time tagged by @kixboxer. under cut for tl;dr rambling.

1. What is your favorite kind of soup and why? seafood clam chowder, simply by the virtue that it’s not easily found where I am (the delicious ones, at least - a lot of them just taste like those cheap soup mixes you pour hot water into). also because of that one bowl of chowder I had in a random pub in Doolin (Ireland) which tasted like absolute heaven. 2. What’s your starter Pokémon type or do you change it up? I’m not really a gamer and the last Pokemon game I played seriously was Yellow, where your starter was only Pikachu. but well, if I had to choose, probably Fire or Water. 3. Can you make an omelette? yes, though I haven’t really made one in awhile… 4. Would you rather be a vampiric tree or a vampire that feeds on trees? what’s with the vampire-themed questions, owlbro. UH… a vampire that feeds on trees. because I don’t like being stuck in one place, and being a vampiric tree feels like I need to be rooted to one spot and that sounds a little boring. also, feeding on trees doesn’t sound too bad - trees wouldn’t have blood for me to drain, so I’d assume I’d “feed” on leaves/fruits/nuts? even if I ate the tree bark, it could technically grow back. least harmful option for the tree, y/y? 5. What are your thoughts on eels? Make some up if you don’t have any eels are kinda cute and cool! also, delicious when grilled. uh, yeah. 6. What is the longest consecutive amount of time you’ve gone without sleeping? probably a little more than 24 hours. 7. Do you like your tea or coffee sweetened? for some types of coffee drinks, yes (like flavoured latte/macchiato). but I never put sugar in brewed coffee or cappucino.

8. What is your favorite way to eat potatoes? I love potatoes so I’ll eat any kind, but roasted potaoes and pan-fried rosti are THE BEST. 9. Have you ever planned the perfect murder? Feel free to share. I am a slubby 20something and definitely not the cops. I am definitely not a 4-person task force with something to prove. I’d wanted to say I could poison someone with a number of different chemical concoctions, but that would show up in toxicology reports in the post-mortem - I wouldn’t consider it a perfect murder in that sense. so I’m just going to be lazy and say the perfect murder would probably just to put someone into a Force choke-hold or killing them with a single thought Vader-style. 10. How many times have you listened to yolo? Give a rough estimate if you don’t have a playcount somewhere. YOU KNOW, before I read this question, I didn’t even know there was a song called ‘YOLO’. no, really, I’m not lying and I actually had to search for it on YT. of course it’s from Adam Samberg’s band, ofc. and thank you, now I’m going to be playing this on repeat while procrastinating on things until the 11th hour before I finally #yolo like the responsible adult I’m not :’D so, to answer your question: this is the first time I’m listening to it, but it sure won’t be the last time ! 11. Are you working on any fic/art/meta right now? Share a sample? ADKJKFHHSJF I’M REALLY SLOW WHEN IT COMES TO WRITING apologies to whoever’s following me for fic only but yes, I’m currently bouncing ideas in my head for one long-ish(?) AU oneshot and some short canon fic/ficlets. no idea when exactly I’ll finish them though lol.

some samples scenes for each fic (no major spoilers for the game):

*** “Why do you still keep smiling, even when I tear open your wounds?” she spat, vehemence laced in every word.  (Many moons later, she would find herself asking the same question, to yet another who smiled just like he did even through the anguish and pain. How could they…. How dare they? It didn’t make any sense, it couldn’t–) Her brows creased in anger, Symonne forced herself back up to her feet even as her limbs ached and trembled from the growing exhaustion of battle. Being delicate in stature had its drawbacks; she would tire easily from direct combat in a battle. As such, she had perfected the use of her seraphic artes, weaving illusions and doppelgangers born from one’s own deepest fear. She had not asked for this accursed blessing, never wished for any of it. But it was all she’d ever known, all she’d carried within her throughout centuries of misery and growing apathy. It was she was but it was enough for this, for her Lord – she reminded herself, again, as she struggled to stand upright, pointing her baton at the two humans before her. It was enough, as long as she could serve him, her Master. So, she won’t stop here; no, she can’t stop, she must not fall– “That’s enough, Symonne.” The Shepherd’s voice was soft and gentle, and Symonne felt frustration flaring from deep within. She lifted her head, staring up at the disgustingly radiant smile, at the pity in those evergreen eyes. *** He shouldn’t have been surprised, honestly. Incidents like these – they were a norm and he should really be used to them by now. Being part the Shepherd’s posse seems bring about both irritability and absurdity in equal parts – he had known of this even before Rose had decided on sharing the burden of a Shepherd and took up the role of Squire; before she’d risked her own life to save the brat from certain death when he’d been foolish enough to face off with the Lord of Calamity. Still, nothing quite prepared him for this; he was more of a dog person, after all. “But why cats, though?” Rose finally blurted out, incredulous. Hell, Dezel wanted to know too – who would come up with such a sick joke anyway? I’m not  a cat! The small silver and cat-like creature was scowling up at them with narrowed, violet eyes. Its mouth was open, as if it were attempting to speak. But the only sound it managed was a very indignant and cat-like meow. W-What? The silver cat crinkled its nose, its tail waving back and forth in confusion. It glanced to its side, gazing at another cat – a longhaired white cat with a bushy, red tail. Why can’t I… Lailah, what’s going on?! *** “Do not let yourself be so readily deceived by all that glitters, by their honeyed words. After all, they murdered your father when he would not be silenced, and then banished us into the Wastelands. They sent your mother to die all alone – you still remember, don’t you? Her terrified screams when she was cut down, the way her blood stained the wheat fields crimson? Remember that always, child.” Sorey flinched from the twist of emotion within his gut. Lady Maltran may not be close by, but the ghostly whispers of her words still sent a trail of ice shivering down his spine. He shook his head, pushing away the taunting memories back. No, Lady Maltran was right – this wasn’t the time to let his guard down. He exhaled slowly, finding his centre again, and drew his thoughts back once more to the present. To focus on what had been drilled into him, what he had been sent to do.

okay, here are my 11 questions:

1. If your life was set in an AU, what would it be? 2. Worst things about your current fandom(s) 3. Three tropes that you fall for in media 4. Something you wished your parents had taught you when you were a child 5. Favourite snack(s) from the convenience store 6. What comes to mind when you see the colour orange? 7. Any inspiratational words from a fictional character that you’ve taken to heart? 8. Prefered method of saving the world: piloting a giant mecha robot engaged in space dogfights or riding into battle on the backs of your megaraptor steed? 9. Childhood nicknames? 10. Skydiving and bungee-jumping - yes or no? 11. Favourite kind(s) of autumn beverages/drinks tagging @armatise @shamingcows @snow-partridge @hakuryuu-tofu @skyress

and anyone else who feels like doing it (or feel free to not do either).

Fried catfish sandwiches

I love catfish. It got a bad rap long ago that it seems to have trouble shaking, but it’s a fantastic, low-cost, high-awesomeness freshwater fish that holds up to just about anything, and tastes good under nearly all conditions.

I had a baguette*, so I decided to make a baguette sandwich with the catfish and some vegetables.

I needed mayonnaise to do the thing - fish and mayonnaise is the kind of combination that makes sandwiches the best of all possible worlds. So I made a regular type mayonnaise, but a little stiffer, and them minced up a jalapeno fine and threw a couple of dashes of hot soy sauce in there***. Then, deciding that that was doubling up on the mayo (there was going to be slaw, after all), I added some lime juice to make a little thinner and more sauce in case I wanted it to just sort of blend in with the slaw mayo. As it happened this was not necessary, but, y’know, it’s hard to think “double mayo” and not bring onesself up short.

The next order of business was making the aforementioned slaw. I recently re-acquired a mandoline** so I cut an apple into thin slices and then cut the slices crossways into very thin julienne. I added some ginger and some parsley, followed by the juice of a lime, a small dollop of mayonnaise and some salt. I let that sit while I put together the rest of the sandwich.

I made a batter for the catfish out of corn starch, flour and baking soda. I got a pot of oil hot, cut the catfish into baguette-sandwich-sized planks, and then quickly beat together the solid ingredients with a little soda water. I dunked the catfish into the batter and then lowered them into the hot oil, flipping them after a couple of minutes and pulling them out before they got too brown.

To go with it I decided to test the potato aptitude of the air fryer and try to make potato chips. I cut them relatively thick on the manodline, sprinkled them with salt and onion powder (I dunno) and then sprayed them down with some spray oil and got them winto the air fryer. They did come out chips, but they weren’t exactly setting the world on fire.

I also decided to make a salad, because vegetables are important, but R is unadventurous, so I just got some salad greens into a bowl and topped them with a grated carrot, some almonds and some dried cherries. I mixed together some buttermilk and some yogurt, to which I added salt, white pepper and some minced chives and stirred together and used it to top the salad.

When everything was together I opened up the baguette, spread it with aq little fo the spicy mayonnaise concoction, laid an appropriate number of fried catfish planks atop that, topped it with some of the apple ginger slaw, and closed the sandwich. The salad was somehow not entierly too creamy - in fact, it’s only now that I realized that I creamed up everything, which is completely insane and must make me look like some sort of oil-slick-craving overlubricated nightmare-human. The potao chips were good but, again, not anything anybody is going o remember. All told he sandwich starred and everything else provided filler, which isn’t the worst way things can end up, but definitely isn’t what I was going for.  

* I mean, I bought the baguette. It isn’t like a baguette just, like, appeared in my house. I don’t have baguette fairies. I wish I did have baguette fairies. I’d definitely have mentioned it before now, though.

** a process that took a positively frightful amount of time, for reasons that I’m unable to articulate. Honestly, I just bought the oxo mandoline I knew I was going to buy the whole time. I could have done this a long time ago.

*** the kind that Secret Aardvark makes. It’s good, but it just tastes like soy sauce that’s been made hotter.

Here is a little tidbit I learned from my nutrition book for class about potaoes. How you store them is super important, it can potentially shift the type of carbohydrates stored in the potatoes. So 60F is the perfect temperature. Low temperatures will cause an accumulation of sugar and warmer will raise the level of starch. Food for thought. Take that into account when storing your food.
