The answer to that one should be pretty obvious. It’s a naked Hylian with some impressive gear riding on the back of a not-quite-mythical beast. Duh.

📖+ cooking show AU

jasper at first doesnt send in his little audition. he only sends it in when Thadd convinces him to

he is nervous the whole time as he waits for the results but also tries not to get his hopes up that maybe they like them enough to let him on the show

he cries when he gets the call saying they want him on the show and Thadd and him go out to celebrate at Jas’ favorite place to eat that night 

when he gets there he makes friends with every one immediately and quickly becomes a fan favorite of the show (not that he is aware of this until it actually stars airing) 

he almost goes home the third week but manages to last another week because of his salted caramel creme brulee he made in the elimination round

he ends up making it to the final four and gets super nervous and the whole time in his little ‘interviews’ talks about how lucky he is to even be there and how everyone is so talented and how they all deserve to win 

the last round he has to make a five course dinner, the most he has ever worked in his life but manages to keep calm the whole time 

later when asked how he managed to not panic he mentions how he thought about Thadd and how he wanted to make them proud

this time, he ends up winning and he cries. everyone hugs him and he hugs them back before declaring he wanted to split his winnings with the other contestant who was competing so she could use the winnings to bring her mother to the US to live with her in her older age. 

he also wins a restaurant where the menu changes daily based on what Jasper is feeling like cooking that day 

The rest of the crew are his number one customers.

Things are so weird in my life right now. Husband keeps going back and forth on things and I’m trying so hard to make him feel important but he has so many things to overcome and I don’t know what to do about it. He’s not a kitchen table guy, and I wish that that could be something for us. He admitted yesterday that he does know that being with Thadd doesn’t change anything about my feelings for him. He’s not worried I’m going to leave. He’s just purely jealous and it bugs me because this is what I’ve been trying to find, and now that it’s.. I mean it’s new, but right now it’s great, he’s all over the board. We’re moving at what feels like a snail’s pace and it’s driving us both crazy. I really don’t know what to do. I told husband that if he found what I’m trying to have, my only concern would be it changing his feelings for me. If that’s not a concern then what is it? He can’t be happy for me because he can’t get over that he wants someone, too. I told him he’s acting like the infertile girl that’s jealous of all her pregnant friends (I’m allowed to because I was that girl). He agreed. And then I told him that he has to realize that someone else getting something he wants doesn’t mean that he won’t get it. You can still be happy. There aren’t a limited number of relationships, and once that quota is filled, no one else is allowed to have one.

It’s not that I don’t understand the very human emotion that is jealousy, but not how he’s handling it. It’s not that he’s jealous that someone else is with his wife. It’s that someone else is with his wife and he’s not with another woman. There is a piece that’s about me, but I told him we would try harder to make time for us to be together and that should solve it. I hate having rules and restrictions placed out of… I don’t even know what the word is. It’s like a competition and I can’t have anything that he doesn’t have. If I do, he is upset about it. And right now I have had more experiences, and that has changed my view some, but I want him to be happy, and another woman making him happy makes me happy because I love him. And I don’t think he’s capable of that.

On the other hand, I’m super happy with Thadd. He makes it so clear how much he wants to spend time with me. He wants to talk on the phone. He texts me good mornings and rushes out of places to get home in time to play games with me. I’m so nervous about our talk next week about what he is expecting in his relationships. I want him to say he’s totally OK with just me right now because he’s so busy and he’s not looking for marriage and kids (because those things are true) but… you know, I’m married, and I can’t expect him not to be with other people. I just hope that it doesn’t take away from being with me? Because he is already so busy and out of town a lot and I’m really hoping he will be a real partner, not just some guy I’m dating. And I know he really likes me, so I think an ongoing relationship is something he’s looking at. He was asking me if his travel would be a problem for me “down the road” (it won’t). So that’s on his radar at least.

I’m never really all about myself physically. I don’t think I’m very attractive and I hate my body. But somehow this mutual attraction we have is insane. It’s hard to keep our hands off of each other and we tend not to lol. He’s working on his six pack and I’m like “Holy crap how can you look at me” and he just says “I told you you were in good hands” and I believe him. I feel like he’s going to take care of me emotionally along this journey. Yeah, he says I make things weird, and that’s true, but he also kind of accommodates my weirdness and reassures me. I haven’t seen him since Friday and it’s OK, but I miss his touch. I’m not like… dying without him or anything. I’m not that clingy and I like my alone time. But I can’t wait until he’s home and I can kiss him again and finally see his house and be in his arms.

Thaddeus and an Allergy-friendly Chocolate Cake Recipe

Thaddeus, my baby, turned four today. Up until yesterday, he wanted a giant cookie cake decorated with frosting that said "Happy Birthday Thaddeus!" I planned to use my gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipe, make some homemade "butter" cream frosting and dream about Great American Cookies' cookie cakes from my pre-gf days. Yesterday, though, he changed to chocolate cake decorated with Dog Man. Luckily, I have a one bowl chocolate cake recipe that is so easy there is no reason for boxed chocolate cake mix. It's one that my mom made, my grandma made and I don't know how many people before her. The original recipe used regular flour, so I substitute gluten free flour. It was already dairy free, nut-free and egg-free, so, as long as you're careful with the toppings it is a handy dessert if you have those dietary restrictions.  Decorating the cake was another matter. If you're not familiar with the Dog Man book series, here's what Dog Man and his sidekick Cat Kid look like:

Dog Man: Brawl of the Wild   He only wanted the heads on his cake, so that made it a little easier. They have that deceptively simple look, though, so I was still nervous. The end result was recognizable, even with constant interruptions and my never having painted on frosting before. I really couldn't have hoped for anything more.

Chocolate cake with Dog Man and Cat Kid frosting for Thadd's fourth birthday. Chocolate Cake Recipe

Chocolate Cake

This is a simple chocolate cake recipe that is super easy. It is dairy-free, egg-free, and if you swap the wheat flour for a gluten-free flour blend, it's gluten-free, too! To make it gluten free, I like Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 gluten free blend because it already contains xanthan gum. If you use a different gluten-free flour without xanthan gum, I would add about 1-1.5 teaspoons of xanthan gum.To top, make a simple buttercream (with shortening and non-dairy milk to keep it non-dairy) or use your favorite store bought frosting. You could also sprinkle the warm cake with dairy-free chocolate chips, let them melt a little, then spread across the top for a rich, chocolaty treat. 3 Cups Flour (see recipe summary for gluten-free adjustment)1 teaspoon salt2 teaspoons baking soda2 cups sugar6 tablespoons cocoa powder2 tablespoons vinegar (white or apple cider vinegar)1 cup vegetable oil (any light flavored liquid vegetable oil is fine)2 cups cold water2 teaspoons vanilla Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit Grease the 9 x 13 inch pan, either with shortening, butter, or cooking sprayCombine the first five (dry) ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix until evenly blended. Alternatively, sift them together into the bowl.Add the remaining (wet) ingredients and mix until thoroughly blended. You can use a spoon or an electric mixer.Pour the batter into the greased 9 x 13 inch pan.Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the middle comes out clean. I frosted this cake with buttercream tinted blue, then used gel food coloring to paint the faces. I then piped buttercream for the eyes, facial features, outlines, writing and trim. I clearly am not a trained cake decorator, so I can't really say which tips I used or any other details.

I don’t know what it is about Thadd. I can’t put my finger on it. I’m nervous about our date but I also feel like we’ve been together for a while already. Maybe it’s that he makes me feel like he cares? He asks to talk in the phone and he’s going away for work next week and wanted to see me Friday since it would be “a whole week” before we could see each other again. Like he’s going to miss me. He texts me all the time and he seems sincere. The chemistry is insane. His voice is so sexy. I am terrified about Thursday because if he isn’t into me it’s going to be a very harsh blow. The hardest yet easily.

Husband is doing a little better. He’s back to actively searching, and he’s putting effort into making himself into who he wants to be and I haven’t seen him smile as much lately and the last two days he’s just amped. So hopefully his new outlook and confidence will help his search, too.

Pray for me friends. I am developing major feels for Thadd already.
