what are your ocs favorite foods and why? if they have any i understand how hard of a question that can be sometimes
OK SO I love this question. I would honestly need specific ocs to be pointed at to give more comprehensive answers. I'll talk about adona and salice for now.
salice: bigoi in sarsa (a type of pasta noodles with a thin hole in the middle, to let sauce in, onions, and anchovies) and fegato alla veneziana (beef liver lightly covered in flour and pan fried with oil and white wine) are her favorite savory dishes. this is specifically the venetian side. when it comes to istrian food (dragica is from rijeka, in croatia) salice was often spoiled by dishes like dagnje na buzaru the main ingredient of which is mussels, as well as fritaja sa šparogama which is essentially a frittata with eggs and asparagus. but she never was picky with savory food (and she isn't as an adult either and will eat about any slop given to her, she was raised on frattaglie too)
she also enjoys any kind of salame and cheese in existence, there is none of either she would dislike. she's a woman who's not afraid of eating inane quantities of onion and garlic.
in terms of sweets she's quite basic and not a fan of overtly sugary stuff. she enjoys babbà with strong rum in them and also loves dark chocolate. she does also enjoy a typical venetian sweets called fave dei morti, made out of egg whites, sugar and pine nuts (or almonds). the name is very ironic considering her whole character
adona: unlike salice adona also had frattaglie as a kid but never ended up loving them. her palate revolves more on enjoying soups and pastas with tomato-based sauces like ragù and the like, and has quite the sweet tooth as well. she is a great enjoyer of homemade pappa al pomodoro, a soup made of tomatoes and stiffened bread. she also loves pappardelle. i'll admit i'm a bit ignorant on tuscan food specifically so i can't elaborate more but she does like acidic and spicy food too and often expeirments eating from other cuisines
she absolutely fucking loves fresh fruit though. My girl adona is fucking chowing fresh fruit all days of her life
I threw together something similar to this, but using my old reliable one-pot pressure cooker method. With some handy frozen chopped onions, garlic, and kale. I also added dried sage and marjoram to season, along with red pepper flakes and some coarse black pepper. Very good! 😋
This dish could easily be made vegetarian/vegan. But, I also decided to start by browning up some cut thick-sliced bacon in a smaller amount of olive oil, and added that back in at the end once the pasta was cooked. A dash of smoked paprika or chipotle would probably give a nice flavor too, on the less meaty side of things.
Banqueta Wednesdays at Marriott Cafe Offers Unlimited Steak and Elevated Street Food Buffet
Most of us grew up enjoying Filipino street food, from the classic fishballs and turon, to the more exotic isaw, kwek kwek, and adidas. Most of these delicacies are quite familiar to me, but as I grew older, I encountered them less frequently, especially since street food is seen to be less hygienic. That's why I was happy to find out that we can now enjoy all these classic favorites at a cleaner and much safer environment with Marriott Cafe's Banqueta Wednesdays!
Marriott Cafe is Marriott Manila’s all day dining restaurant located at the ground floor lobby. You can now enjoy unlimited steak, seafood, and Filipino street food favorites in a refined setting every Wednesday dinner from 6:00pm to 9:00 pm at the Banqueta Wednesdays for only ₱2,999 nett per person.
Banqueta Wednesdays is the ultimate night market with a wide variety of Filipino street food stations, unlimited steak and international buffet selections at their open-theatre kitchens.
You can start at the appetizers and salad stations which offers various breads and Asian starters like kimchi, spicy fish cake, mushroom dinakdakan, itlog na maalat at kamatis, and others.
Then head over to the main buffet table where you can get some Baked Penne, Vegetable Casserole, and Polenta together with a few wraps of Shawarma.
The Seafood Paella is one of the highlights here with its delicious combination of crabs, mussels, and prawns on a bed of flavorful paella rice.
Just beside this is the carving station which has this gorgeous Porchetta as the centerpiece. The skin is so crispy so make sure you get a few slices for yourself.
They also have a pasta station where you can ask for Grandma's Pomodoro that will be freshly cooked for you a la minute.
Next, make your way to the Japanese station where you can find a colorful selection of sushi together with Takoyaki Balls and Okonomiyaki.
The main attraction at Banqueta Wednesdays is the Banqueta Display right in the center of the buffet area. Here you can find an assortment of Filipino street food favorites like chicken isaw, pork isaw, fishballs, vegetable skewers, and okoy.
Other exotic items available include pork ears, kwek kwek, tokneneng, pork barbecue, and adidas or chicken feet. These are items that you do not typically see in a five-star hotel buffet but Marriott Cafe makes these accessible to everyone during Banqueta Wednesdays. They even have some Balut and Penoy eggs.
Marriott Cafe goes one step further because aside from all the Filipino street food, you can also enjoy unlimited steak, crabs, prawns, mussels, clams, and squid.
Just pick the items and skewers you like and hand them over to the grilling station. These will be cooked right on the spot and delivered straight to your table.
Now these are items you don't see every day at five star hotels! These classic Filipino street food dishes also bring a sense of nostalgia for those who used to eat these during their childhood.
Of course, you can also enjoy the more luxurious side of Banqueta Wednesdays with unlimited servings of steak to go with your choice of seafood.

Break out your late 20's bingo card! I used a feather duster today and the tidying game has been changed. I spent an undisclosed amount of time today ridding myself of dust collections and received my new shower curtain in the mail. Something so pathetic should not bring me so much joy but ALAS I'm nesting.
Other useful tips of the day:
I used the Pomodoro technique to break up tasks. It roughly goes about selecting a single task, working for 25 minutes, taking a 5-minute (productive) break, repeating the cycle 4 times, then taking a break longer than 30 minutes.
The 5-second rule. What has always applied to food now applies to getting your ass out of bed or any other task that takes "everyday" courage. Basically, don't overthink your way out of action.
Today's outfit: Black tube top paired with black, yellow, and green floral skirt gifted from Makenna, black headband.
Today's accomplishment: 200 days of yoga! That's a total of 56 hours of stretching various limbs to stave off rot and decay. Here's to dying old as young as possible.
Next Goal: 250 days or finally beating one of those damn "Do Yoga 20 times in 30 days" challenges.
Meditation: This was a walking one on the street early this morning, being exactly in the moment with eyes up. I stopped to stare at three bright pink roses that overhung on the sidewalk. Probably looked like a big weirdo doing it but this is the price of brief connection to the present moment.
Cooking: Made squid ink pasta with spicy shrimp and parmesan. When I'm good, I am GOOD. Yum! Still loving the Celebrity Memoir podcast and how the ripped Olivia Munn a new asshole for body shaming every other woman in America. Anna-Marie Tendler may be obnoxious, but Olivia is still the original Pick Me.
Political Awareness: The DNC is likely to see protestors for the Biden Administration's support of Israel in the current Hamas conflict. It's giving 1968 with Vietnam (hopefully different results, but if the Middle East has taught us anything, it is that history is violent and cyclical).
Reading: Still on Princess Di's autobiography. A lot of crying and vomiting, but also real compassion and spark under there as well. Nothing is more depressing than feeling like you can't express yourself or have any control over your future or personal arch. The same goes for princesses, apparently. She may have also just been kind of bored and needed some anti-depressants.
Sleep: I was asleep before midnight and awake before 9 so calling it a win. 5...4...3...2...1
Got a glut of grape or another kind of fresh tomatoes? How about a spicy fresh tomato-basil and cream sauce in the time it takes to boil the water and cook your pasta? #pasta #basil #tomato #pomodoro
It's Arelys again! I'm here to tell you about one of the biggest things Italy known for: its food! True, authentic Italian food and dining is an experience on its own, and truly is a highlight of the trip. Most of the ingredients and food in Italy is locally sourced and grown with minimal processing (if any). Most mornings there are flea markets where locals are able to pick up fresh fruits and veggies! I've never seen a more red tomato or strawberry in my life! While pasta and pizza are the main dishes eaten, Italy also serves fresh chicken, steak, and seafood. The main difference in the food from the USA is the taste and quality. Pasta has just enough sauce that enhances the flavor of the pasta without being overbearing. Sauces are typically made of an olive oil or pesto base, and the noodles are typically thicker. Pizza on the other hand is made with extremely thin crust in the center with a slightly crunchy, thicker crust on the border. My favorite is called the Diavolo, consisting of salami, Pomodoro (tomato sauce), parmesan or buffalo mozzarella (it's actually not spicy at all) cheese, and sometimes mushrooms.
The experience of dining in a restaurant is often much different than we are used to here in the U.S. Most restaurants will seat you outdoors and are very accommodating for large parties. While some waiters spoke English, it was encouraging for us to practice our Italian in situations when they did not speak English. I found it interesting how waiters would attend to the table at your request for them rather than checking up on a table periodically. There is usually one bill for the whole party, and includes tax and tip.
Additionally, it is very important to mention Italian sweets! This is included a visit to one of the oldest chocolate shops in the world where we tried Bicerin (pronounced BE- CHE-REEN), a Turino known chocolate coffee drink. Gianduja is the locally made version of Nutella, which is sweeter, and not as creamy (but super delicious!) Among other favorites are Tiramisu, and a Sicilian Connolo.
I saw @aheathenconcievably's post on this and went fuck it, I'm going to do it. Jesus Christ (pardon the blasphemy on Easter) I hate the new Tumblr Editor.
🎨 Favourite Color:
Red! If it exists and can be made the colour red, I will because I'm weird. Though I also like blues and yellows. Anything bright will make me happy.
📖 Currently Reading:
I'm the person who reads far too many books at once because I have the attention span of a goldfish but a decently good memory.
Non fiction wise, I'm making my way through both Catherine & Potemkin by Simon Sebag Montefiore and Ian Mortimer's The Greatest Traitor. Having to the former Pomodoro style to be honest
Fiction Wise, Joe Abercrombie's Before They are Hanged because I am rereading the books before I get set on a Little Hatred.
🍽 Sweet/Savory/Spicy:
Savoury, I live off bread, soup and pasta to be honest. Especially recently because I haven't been feeling great
📯 Currently Working On (Sims wise):
A couple of weddings, a deconstruction, an affair & some hintings at the future for a lot of them
🤫Real Life:
I'm trying to work on a fantasy novel, though I'm not sure it would be very appealing to most readers because I like writing about cultures far too much

Often call tomato sauce "gravy." Apparently it comes from the Italian word sugo, which means gravy. Sugo al pomodoro is tomato gravy, and sugo all is a spicy tomato gravy. Tomato gravy, or tomato pasta sauce, is made of fresh or canned tomatoes with garlic, onion and herbs such as parsley, oregano and basil.
