Do they know how to cook and what (Human) food do they eat usually? Beta trolls edition:

Karkat: cannot cook, usually eats instant foods, especially instant curry and tofu powder.

Aradia: Questionable if she can cook other foods, but she makes the best pasta. Best not to question what meat she has in it, but usually uses bone marrow for the "meat".

Tavros: Can cook. He used to cook farm-fresh omelettes every morning, but since he started using a wheelchair, he finds soup really soothing.

Sollux: Cannot cook. Eats "gamer foods" like Maruchan instant ramen. Also actually likes powdered eggs with gravy.

Nepeta: Can cook. Most of her foods consist of things she forages herself. Her favorite is venison steak with mushroom soup.

Kanaya: Can cook. She tries lots of different cultural foods, mostly. Her favorite dish is cabidela.

Terezi: Blind people can cook, but Terezi sure can't, even with her heightened senses. She does try though, and I suppose her liking her own food counts as a success. Stay away from her food though, especially her "surprise dish" which is literally just ghost peppers in YooHoo.

Vriska: She can fry food, but not cook any other way. The fact she eats so much fried food and never gets sick of it shocks everyone else. Though, it does give her a nice range of cultural and american dishes, main courses and desserts. Her favorite is tempura with a side of fried okra.

Equius: Cannot cook, he breaks everything. Usually goes to Vriska or Nepeta's homes to eat dinner. When neither is possible, he will eat Military Ration Packs and Ovaltine with extra milk.

Gamzee: Can cook, but always cooks it with faygo. Most dishes are entire abominations, but some can be salvaged. The most edible thing he makes is Hot Wings using Faygo in the sauce.

Eridan: cannot cook. Simply goes over to Feferi's house to go eat, since he likes her cooking and seafood.

Feferi: Seafood master. Absolutely brilliant chef. Want some nice, homemade food cooked with love? Feferi makes a feast every night, filled with Paella, Halabos, Takoyaki, Sushi, Calamari, etc but her pièce de résistance is her Lobster Thermidor.

Smaugust 2022, Day 24 - Baklava

Characters: The Boogie Man, Crono Sector, Fester Jester

Prompt list: Found here

Baklava - Another dish I haven’t tried, but could love or hate, from the sounds of the ingredients. Because of where I first heard of this dessert, I often connect it with fun but parental energy.

The exterior of the museum was swarming with security guards and police. He tightened the collar of his shirt, ensuring both that he looked professional and that the layer of clothing underneath was hidden. The Boogie Man approached the museum’s main doors, keeping his gaze forward, stride quick and purposeful as if he had every right to be here. A security guard stopped him at the door, holding up a hand. She was wearing a blue polo shirt, a logo and the words ‘Cronos Security’ emblazoned on the left side of the chest.

“I’m part of the cleanup crew. I have to assess the damages before I get the rest of the team in here.” His tone unbothered, but keen to get to work, flicking the ID clipped to his jumpsuit pocket. With a little help from Boogie’s particular kind of invisibility, the security guard checked her radio, her attention diverting from him as she nodded and waved him inside. Boogie smiled and entered the museum.

On a first assessment, there really wasn’t much for that Mayor Fatcat to worry about. The impact on his precious museum and its exhibits was minimal. A lot of money had gone into making this city seem cultured, and that was proved by the stone and metal architecture that barely had a scratch on it. Boogie tucked his hands in his pockets, looking around as he wandered further into the museum. There were people in here, too, a brief scattering of top personnel to respond to a supervillain break-in. Boogie Man doubted any of them would have noticed him even if he weren’t pumping dismissive vibes into their psyches.

Many theories had been posited since Boogie Man’s debut on the villain scene as to what his superpower was, if he had one at all. His eccentric manner of speaking and dress tended to throw people off. Some guessed light manipulation, some guessed mind control, some even went way outside the box and thought he might have some kind of influence over luck itself, tilting the scales in his own favour. The truth was far less flashy. Boogie Man could become invisible - a counter-intuitive power for a man who embodied a disco ball, but it wasn’t the typical kind of invisibility. The typical kind relied on becoming unseen by the eyes, but Boogie’s relied on becoming unseen by the mind. This ability for his presence to be dismissed or explained away, more of a psychological invisibility, wasn’t what he would have chosen for himself, but it was useful for getting in and out of places unseen.

Someone new stepped into Boogie Man’s path, wearing the same blue polo shirt underneath a thick coat. Boogie wasn’t a short guy, but he still had to look up to meet the newcomer’s eye.

“Excuse me.” He was frowning, feet firmly planted. The tag on his shirt read ‘Hodgkins’. “Access here has been restricted.” Boogie didn’t say anything at first. He let the professionalism slip just enough, so only the man in front of him could see him waggle his eyebrows. He saw a familiar steel in Hodgkins’ eyes, and he resisted the urge to laugh.

“I’m here to assess damages.” Boogie stated. He switched off his power as he spoke, becoming just as noticeable as any other Joe Shmoe. Hodgkins nodded, and he stepped aside, leading Boogie down another corridor while telling his employees that he had this matter handled. Boogie Man let himself be led, Hodgkins sticking closely by his side. Once they had passed through another door, and the other onlookers were far out of range, Boogie grinned.

“You’re living the big life, aren’t you babe?” He remarked. Hodgkins’ jaw clenched, eyes glancing towards Boogie for a second before fixing forward again.

“Stay focused on the task at hand.”

“Come on, we’ve got all the time in the world! You can boiler room with Boogie till the cows come home, babe.” Boogie turned to walk backwards, still keeping stride as he directed the declaration towards his compatriot, “You’re always so focused on the clock, stop and smell the roses! It won’t kill you.” Hodgkins increased his pace, forcing Boogie to nearly jog to keep up with him.

“Prancing around like a prized horse might kill you.” He warned, showing no signs of amusement. Boogie shrugged and turned back around, following Hodgkins into a deeper part of the museum. Ever since they’d first had to interact, Boogie Man had known that ‘Hodgkins’ (although really, Crono Sector) didn’t have much of a sense of humour. But he still enjoyed pushing Crono’s buttons.

Boogie Man and Crono Sector stepped out into a small corner of the museum, housing a limited selection compared to the more packed spectacles near the front entrance. There were several mannequins attached to the floor via metal poles, designed to hold extravagant dresses or coats. The velvet rope that usually separated them from patrons had been tossed aside, and a person was seated by one of the mannequins, their wrist handcuffed to the pole. Their head rested in their other hand, and the black and white scheme of their clown costume matched the bored and glum expression on their face. They looked up at the sound of footsteps and Boogie Man’s chuckle at the sight of them.

“Well well well. Look what we caught.” Boogie Man eyed Fester Jester over before directing his next statement at Crono, “It looks a little shrimpy though, think we should throw it back?”

“Ha, ha. I think you should fire your costume designer.” Fester snapped, gesturing towards Boogie’s jumpsuit. Crono stepped away from the two of them, double-checking the locations of the security cameras. Boogie largely ignored him and let the man work; Boogie Man’s power only worked on people, not machines. He leaned over and flicked one of the pom poms on Fester’s hat.

“What would you try to filch from a museum? Pagliacci’s pantaloons?” His tone had been light-hearted with Crono, but it was genuinely mocking towards Fester Jester. He rarely got along with them, and vice versa, unless it was for work.

“I wasn’t stealing for me!” Fester hissed back.

“Enough.” Crono returned to the two of them, having successfully turned off the nearby cameras, “I’m not going to babysit every time the two of you are in a room together. Grow up.” Fester scowled, the expression not unlike a pout.

“It’s only gagging, babe. You know how us show ponies love a bit of fratricide.” Boogie Man smiled, attempting to brush away Crono’s concerns. He kept that overly-polite smile on his face as he walked over and hooked a hand under Fester’s arm, hoisting them to their feet. Their own hand was still held down by the cuffs, and they straightened their costume before tugging at the cuffs.

“What about this?” Fester questioned. Boogie considered what the best course of action would be. He patted down his pockets, disappointed that he didn’t have a pick on him. His gaze flicked up as Crono approached Fester, and Boogie backed up to give him operating space.

“Arm straight.” Crono instructed. Fester locked their arm, pushing themself back another step.

They and Boogie watched as Crono rolled up the sleeve of his coat, revealing a bracer attached around his forearm. With a flick of his wrist, a blade extended from the bracer, about half a metre long and shaped like the hand of a clock. With practised precision, Crono raised his arm and sliced through Fester’s wrist. Boogie stared as the hand hit the floor with a soft thump, dark and viscous blood seeping from the wound. Fester examined their sliced arm with the same casual regard as a chipped fingernail, and shook the handcuff off. Crono examined the blade on his wrist, wiping it clean on his other sleeve with a scowl of distaste.

“You were sloppy.” Crono told them. He sheathed the blade once more, and rolled his sleeve back down as he jerked his head towards Boogie. “Grab it.” Boogie Man shrugged and retrieved the hand, wiggling a few of the fingers out of curiosity before shoving the whole thing into his pocket. Crono checked his watch, one of several he wore on his person. “Time to leave. Now.” He didn’t wait for a response as he started to walk back in the direction he and Boogie had entered through. The other two followed shortly after. Boogie Man stayed behind Fester Jester, the formation not only giving more cover, but giving the impression that they were escorting Fester out to be properly detained, if anyone did poke their noses in.

“Which exit?”

“Side.” Crono stated, taking a turn away from the path that led to the front entrance. Boogie watched the back of his head as Crono glanced over his shoulder, every movement alert and watching their surroundings. “We may need cover.”

“Got it.” Boogie nodded. He sped up his stride so he was closer to the other two, keeping them within the bubble of his invisibility. To his amazement, even Fester allowed the other members of the group to take the lead, staying hunched between them so she couldn’t be seen. Despite there being no smile on her face, there was a light skip to her step.

The side door had none of the flash of the front entrance, just an impressive looking lock. Crono produced a key from his person, making short work of it and holding the door open. Fester passed through first, with Boogie striding through afterwards. Cronos Security was used by virtually every important business in the city, including the museum. The company’s owner, Brett Hodgkins, had access to the keys and passwords for everything under his company’s protection. Which meant Crono Sector also had that access.

Boogie took a deep breath of the evening air. He looked around, pleased to see no-one had seen them yet. Fester, despite going first, had barely passed the threshold, currently craning her neck to see the large crowd she had gathered.

“Move it.” Crono growled from where he was still holding the door open. Fester rolled her eyes but joined Boogie, who hooked an arm around her shoulders and led her further away from the museum. She was tense in his arm, but she didn’t try to fight him. Boogie glanced back over his shoulder as he walked, spotting Crono pull the door closed. He was still on duty as head of security, he had to remain behind. Boogie Man continued heading towards the street, him and the clown he was holding not so much as a blip on anyone’s radar.

11 Sizzling Grilling Tips for the Best Summer Cookout

New Post has been published on https://www.georgiagassavings.com/blog/11-sizzling-grilling-tips-for-the-best-summer-cookout/

11 Sizzling Grilling Tips for the Best Summer Cookout

Save Energy with Summer Cookouts

Learn how you can cut your summer energy usage with these mouth watering cookout tips. Plus you’ll get to enjoy tasty grilled food with friends and family.

We love grilling. And 70% of all households in the U.S. agree! With grilling, you get delicious food and spend more time outside. Plus, you don’t need to worry as much about summertime GA gas rates. Furthermore, you keep all the heat from summer cooking out of the house. In Georgia, that can be a huge win for your Atlanta Gas Light bill. So, let’s get the season started with 11 sizzling grilling tips for the best summer cookout.

Best Tips for Prepping Your Summer Cookout

Roasting in the oven and cooking on the range add heat to your home. Then your AC runs longer, driving up energy costs. Instead, lower your Georgia energy bill by grilling outside. To get started, follow these tips for grill prep.

Light gas grills with the top open. Firing up the grill with the top down can cause a dangerous buildup of gas and even an explosion.

Preheat the grill. When you set food on the grill, you want the cooking surface hot for even cooking.

Clean the grill after heating. Use a brush followed by a wet towel. Finally, add oil to the grill surface.

Marinade tougher meats. A little marinade or dry rub goes a long way for flavor and texture.

Bring meat to room temperature for even cooking. Take meat out of the fridge about an hour before grilling time.

Tips for Grilling at Your Georgia Cookout

Now you are ready to cook. Follow these simple tips at the grill for spectacular summer meals.

Leave it alone. Once food is on the grill, resist the urge to constantly open the grill and flip food. Flipping items only once is typically the goal to shoot for.

Use a meat thermometer. Checking the temperature of your meat helps determine when it’s done. It also helps avoid overcooking and drying out meat.

Remember the grill is for more than meat. A skewer of grilled veggies is a great complement to a grilled main dish. Also grill fruits like watermelon and pineapple. Grilled flatbreads are another fun option!

Go cold for other sides. Bean salads, coleslaws, and garden salads are refreshing companions to grilled foods. Plus, keep even more heat out of the house by avoiding the cooktop.

Allow meat to rest. After 5-10 minutes rest, meats will hold onto their juices rather than spilling out all over the cutting board.

Don’t forget dessert! Ditch the oven once again and go frozen. For example, put bananas on popsicle sticks, roll in yogurt and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips. Put it in the freezer and enjoy a cold treat after dinner.

We’re Cooking up Natural Gas Savings

Your house will be cooler and energy bills lower when you follow our cookout tips. But there is more you can do for energy savings. Switching natural gas providers often means getting a cheap fixed rate for the next year or more. Check out your options for natural gas savings at https://www.georgiagassavings.com.

Need to Cater a Company Event This May? Try These Barbecue Dishes!

When the barbecue catering arrives at the office, you know you’re going to have a few heads poking into the breakroom to check things out. Barbecue is known for its spicy, sweet, and savory aromas. It’s the kind of food that, when you take that first bite, you never want it to end.

These are just a few reasons barbecue can be a hit at catered company events. With May being National Barbecue Month, it only makes sense to put barbecue in the spotlight. With these barbecue dishes, you can start catering Wilmington NC company events, or company events anywhere in the U.S., in flavorful style. The Main Event When it comes to barbecue, the meat is almost always the main event. Everything else tends to be secondary. When you’re faced with a choice of barbecued meats, which one or two do you choose? It can be tough. One option that’s sure to please is barbecue pulled pork. This can be a great option because it’s so versatile. It works well on its own, with a sauce, on a bun, and with practically any side. If you’re looking for a second meat to add to the roster, smoked turkey is an easy winner. It, too, can be versatile, and it can be a “lighter” choice—especially considering that many barbecue dishes can be hearty. Need to accommodate dietary needs on your team? No problem. Some barbecue caterers offer vegetarian or vegan options worthy of main event status, including smoked tempeh or jackfruit. The Supporting Sides Everyone has their go-to sides. When you’re catering a company event, choosing the supporting sides might be just a hair tougher than choosing the main event. That said, there can be certain sides that most people consider barbecue essentials. One of those sides is, unexpectedly, mac and cheese. Mac and cheese can easily intermingle with the flavors of your proteins of choice. Another supporting side to consider is broccoli and cheese casserole. Not every barbecue caterer has this dish on the menu, but it’s worth trying if they do. It’s a great way to sneak some veggies into the mix. Many caterers tend to offer a green bean option, too, so if you don’t have broccoli casserole, green beans can be another winner. A broccoli casserole can bring a lot of flavor to the party—it can stand on its own while being able to intermingle with the rest of the spread. The All-Important Dessert Banana Cream Pudding. That’s it. That’s all you need to know. If you want to include dessert at your company event, you’re sure to have plenty of options to choose from. If you happen to be catering Lexington KY company events, chances are there’s a local caterer with dessert menu items like chocolate cake, cobbler, and cookies. But if you see banana pudding, don’t hesitate to add it to the order. A lot of barbecue connoisseurs consider banana pudding the quintessential barbecue dessert. It can vary from caterer to caterer and region to region, but it typically includes pudding, bananas, vanilla wafer cookies, and whipped cream. Some may even include a drizzle of caramel. It can be the perfect way to cap off another great company event!

"Beyond Desserts: Creative Culinary Uses of Dates in Savory Dishes and Snacks"

Dates, often relegated to the realm of sugary treats, hold untapped potential in the savory world. Their natural sweetness, caramel-like undertones, and chewy texture can add surprising depth and complexity to a variety of dishes and snacks. So, put down the chocolate and explore the exciting culinary adventures awaiting with this versatile fruit!

Flavor Fusions:

Salty & Sweet Harmony: Embrace the classic pairing in savory contexts. Dice or chop dates and add them to stuffings for poultry or roasted vegetables. For a burst of sweet-savory goodness, wrap goat cheese with prosciutto and stuff it into Medjool dates. Spice it Up: Dates pair beautifully with warm spices like cinnamon, cumin, ginger, and harissa. Roast them with these spices for a quick and delicious chutney, or blend them into a flavorful vinaigrette for salads or grilled meats. Umami Delights: Tap into the savory side of dates by incorporating them into sauces and glazes. Blend them with miso, tamari, and garlic for a umami-rich glaze for salmon or tofu. You can even create a unique and flavorful barbecue sauce with dates, chipotle peppers, and spices. Texture Twists:

Creamy Counterpoint: Puree Medjool dates with a splash of water or citrus juice to create a smooth and rich "date tahini" sauce. Drizzle it over roasted vegetables, falafel, or even dollop it on pizzas for a unique sweetness. Crispy Delight: Dehydrate sliced dates for a textural contrast. Crumble them over salads, yogurt bowls, or use them as a topping for savory tarts and quiches. Chewy Surprise: Finely chop dates and incorporate them into meatballs, veggie burgers, or falafel mixtures. They add moisture and a subtle sweetness without overpowering the savory flavors. International Inspiration:

Moroccan Tagine: Add pitted dates to your next Moroccan tagine with lamb or chicken. Their sweetness balances the savory spices and creates a truly delectable depth of flavor. Middle Eastern Stuffings: Explore traditional Arab recipes like "Mahshi Bamya" (stuffed okra) or "Mahshi Kofta" (stuffed meatballs) where dates are often incorporated for their sweetness and textural complexity. Indian Chutneys & Accompaniments: In India, dates find their way into chutneys like "Imli ki chutney" (tamarind chutney), where their sweetness complements the tangy and spicy flavors. Beyond Appetizers:

Main Course Magic: Don't limit your exploration to starters. Try a Moroccan-inspired chicken tagine with apricots and dates, or a vegetarian lentil and date loaf for a hearty and flavorful main course. Savory Baking: Dates can elevate savory bakes. Add them to whole-wheat bread dough for a touch of sweetness and moisture, or incorporate them into savory tarts and quiches for a unique flavor profile. Remember:

Experiment with different varieties of dates. Each type offers distinct flavor profiles and textures, adding further dimension to your dishes. Start small and adjust sweetness to your preference. Dates range in sweetness, so begin with a minimal amount and taste as you go. Consider date alternatives. Other dried fruits like apricots, figs, or cranberries can be substituted for a similar textural and flavor experience. By venturing beyond the dessert aisle and embracing the versatility of dates, you unlock a world of culinary possibilities. From savory snacks to globally inspired dishes, explore the exciting potential of this unique fruit and elevate your cooking to new heights!

Over-the-Range

Offers dual benefits as a range hood venting steam, smoke, and odors through integrated ventilation while freeing up counter space. Mounts above the cooktop or range. More expensive. Weighs up to 75 lbs requiring professional installation.

Built-In Microwave

Installs flush within cabinetry for a seamless uniform aesthetic. Prices are similar to over-the-range. Offers wider and taller oven cavity capacities than countertops. Requires expert enclosure construction and mounting.

Internal Capacity 

Interior microwave volume measured in cubic feet impacts what size dishes and quantity of food you can heat at one time. Consider your cooking needs.

Chardonnay grapes are usually harvested in the fall, and the best grapes are those that are ripe and have a good balance of acidity and sugar. The grapes should be free of disease and pests, and should have a good flavor profile. Fermentation Once the grapes have been selected, they are crushed and pressed to extract the juice. The juice is then placed in a fermentation tank, where it is allowed to ferment for several weeks. During this time, the yeast converts the sugar in the juice into alcohol. Aging Once the fermentation process is complete, the wine is aged in oak barrels for several months. This process adds complexity and depth to the flavor of the wine. The winemaker can choose to age the wine in either new or used barrels, depending on the desired flavor profile. Bottling Once the aging process is complete, the wine is ready to be bottled. The winemaker will decide on the type of bottle and label to use, as well as the amount of sulfites to add to the wine. The wine is then sealed and ready to be enjoyed. Making Chardonnay is an art form, and the winemaker has many decisions to make throughout the process. With the right grapes, fermentation, aging, and bottling techniques, you can create a delicious and unique Chardonnay that will be enjoyed by all. Cheers! Q&A 1. What does Chardonnay taste like?
