Thyme Sautéed Brussels Sprouts
Tumblr media
You think you don’t like Brussels sprouts? You may want to think again! Maybe you don’t like them when they’re boiled to death and release that slightly sulfuric smell reminiscent of school dinners! But, I assure you, you may love these simple Thyme Sautéed Brussels Sprouts! With their butter and oil sheen, and fresh herb fragrance, they make a heaps more appealing meal or side! Happy Monday!
Ingredients (serves 2):
450 grams/1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Thoroughly brush and rinse Brussels sprouts under cold water. Spin-dry. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil, over medium-high heat.
Once the butter is just foaming, remove thyme leaves from their sprigs, and add to the skillet. Fry, 1 minute.
With a sharp knife, halve Brussels sprouts, and add to the skillet. Sauté, coating in herbs and fat, about 5 minutes, shaking the skillet often.
Stir in minced garlic, and reduce heat to medium. Season with fleur de sel and black pepper, and cover with the lid. 
Cook, about 8 to 10 minutes more, until Brussels sprouts, are just softened, still bright green and have some bite.
Serve Thyme Sautéed Brussels Sprouts, on their own, or as a side to meat or fish.

Garak: Merry Christmas Julian!
Julian: Merry Christmas Garak!
Garak: I know that this is one of the most important events in the human calendar, a religious festival that billions of humans across many belief systems celebrate
Julian: Yes, well the celebration has its routes in-
Garak: But I've heard that these days many humans celebrate it for all manner of reasons, religious or otherwise
Julian: Very true, Chrismas has had a secular element to it since our 20th Century
Garak: So what does Christmas mean to you then dear doctor?
Julian, smiling: It's a day dedicated to my favourite food!
Garak: Oh? Please do elaborate. Is it turkey?
Julian: Well I do like turkey, but no
Garak: Christmas cookies?
Julian: That's not really a British thing. In Britain we have mince pies, I like them with a dusting of sugar and a dollop of whipped cream
Garak, not impressed: With minced what? Turkey? Cow?
Julian: Mincemeat, which doesn't actually have any meat in it, rather it's a mixture of dried fruit and berries with a hint of spice, they're really rather nice
Garak: So is that your favourite then?
Julian: Oh no, it's Brussels Sprouts, I just love them.
Later that evening Garak's in his quarters
Garak: Computer, Brussels Sprouts
The sprouts appear
Garak digs in apprehensively, is almost sick.
Garak, to himself: This was a trick Julian, wasn't it. Well played.

Period Comfort
Prompt: How the boys act when their S/O is on their period. [Requested by @weebumochi]
Featuring: TF141 and Los Vaqueros - John Price, Simon "Ghost" Riley, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, Johnny "Soap" MacTavish, Alejandro Vargas, and Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra (separately) x GN!Reader
Word Count: 1.2k
Warnings: reader menstruates, but no mention of genitalia; menstruation discomfort; nothing else i can think of, but lemme know if there's more
Tumblr media
John Price
Always gets you water and a fresh cup of tea once your cups looks a little low.
Finds out what meals are best for someone on their period and focuses on making those for the week.
You two would make food with beef, eggs, and fish (if you eat them); spinach, squash, and brussel sprouts. All the nutritious stuff. 
And then he would make treats for you, especially dark chocolate on almonds or walnuts. Bring you bananas, berries, figs. You felt like ancient Mesopotamian royalty. All things that were also good for you, but were more traditional period comfort food of “sweet”. 
If you really needed to eat half a family sized bag of barbeque potato chips, he would fetch them and put them in a bowl for you. No questions asked. No movement in the eyebrows. A loving smile as he asks what movie you two were going to watch.
 But for dinner, he’s making something without so much… sodium.
Does everything he can to make your period easier on you.
Tumblr media
Simon Riley
Doesn’t tell you that he knows you’re on your period, but that shit is on the calendar. Doesn’t want to make you feel like he’s all “oh is it that time of the month?”. So he pretends nothing is different.
He’s always so sweet to you, but he’s especially so when you’re on your period.
There are absolutely no gibes or pokes at the tender part of your heart. And whenever you’re most hormonal (which is also on the calendar), he might not tease you at all. Because one time he was a little snarky with you, and normally it would roll right off, but you were just a teensy bit too hormonal. And you got quiet. And your lip quivered. And he didn’t stop apologizing the whole day.
Any shows or movies he normally sighs about (but still sits down and watches… and gets invested in, the lying shit), there is no fussing.
“Alright, lovie, sounds good. Do you want another cuppa while I’m up?”
Need some quiet time by yourself? He has some errands to run, let him know what you want for dinner.
Just does his best to make sure you never feel crazy when you’re on your period.
Tumblr media
Kyle Garrick
When the worst of your period comes in, it becomes the typical night in.
The dumbest movies that you two love. Dessert eaten before dinner. Favorite takeout and all the accoutrement available. A glass of wine or some other treat beverage. Matching pajama sets.
Kyle had almost fallen asleep when you massaged a yummy-smelling hair mask into his scalp, and then pulled a ‘oh I was just resting my eyes’. And then he returned the favor, painting a luxurious facial mask on you. Making hearts on your cheeks, then spreading them out. You were fairly sure he drew boobs on your forehead, but then smeared it out and insisted you were just imagining it.
You give each other manicures, and hand feed the other food whilst their nails dried. Kissing chocolate and strawberries off each others lips and chins.
Once his hair was wrapped up, he’s all snuggled up in your arms. The heat and weight of his body against your abdomen was soothing. And the gentle snoring of the love of your life.
Everything he can to make you feel comfortable and attractive in your own skin.
Tumblr media
Johnny MacTavish
He gets up at the ass crack of dawn to go for a run (like a fucking psycho). Once you wake up, he wants to go to the gym with you. Whether or not you work out, or just poke his butt because it’s funny, he wants you there. But not today. Your cramps, or just the general yuckiness of menstruating, makes you want to not leave the house.
So he hops on the internet, and finds the workouts, stretches, and yoga poses that would help you feel better.
The most gentle workout he’s had in his life. Stretching with the speed of tai chi, leaning against your back and chatting quietly.
Kisses wherever he can reach as you two figure out the yoga poses. Sticks his ass out as far as he can so you’ll poke it. Whistles whenever you begin a pose that’s even marginally suggestive. Waggles his eyebrows and maybe even cops a feel.
Double checks that you aren’t overexerting yourself. Stops for water (and kiss) breaks and asks how you’re feeling. What’s helping, what’s not helping? Time to stop, or keep going?
Helping with the physical and visceral symptoms so you’re more comfortable.
Tumblr media
Alejandro Vargas
If he can, he’s clearing the schedule for the worst day of the week. Does grocery shopping and laundry before, so there is essentially nothing to do that day when Mother Nature is curb-stomping you.
Spoils you with a long lie-in. The sun has long since come up by the time you wake up to massages and kisses.
You join him for breakfast and a quick rinse off shower, and then you two crawl right back into bed. Leaning against him as he kneads the skin and muscles of your abdomen or back, a movie or the radio as ambient noise.
Maybe you fall back asleep. Maybe you watch an entire TV show. Maybe you putter about and do some light home-making. The goal is that you are fully rested.
I bet science says that you can’t “catch up on sleep”, but it’s still nice to have a day where you sleep for most of it. Especially when it’s curled up in bed with your sweet lover. His hands on you for the entire day, closely followed by his lips.
His whole body squeezing you tight when you try to leave, and wrapping around you again once you return.
Just physically reminding you of how much he loves you.
Tumblr media
Rodolfo Parra
Once he sees a menstrual product wrapper in the bathroom trash can, he’s off to make the most professional grocery run you’ve ever seen.
Knows exactly which products you use, and checks which are low. Buys the right medications or products. The snacks that you love (that won’t betray you later with a stomach ache), and the little drink treat that’s for special occasions. 
You swear that he hears the crinkle of a wrapper in the bathroom and marches to the store.
Puts the groceries away while you’re finishing up the breakfast dishes and then offers you the little beverage and maybe a treat.
He guides you to the couch or back to bed, sidling up next to or behind you and kisses you deeply. Arms roaming and then settling in a way that keeps you as close as possible. Pressing against you as if you could become one.
Cuddles in the way that is most comfortable, whether you’re in his lap or laying down. Kisses you all over. Hand feeds you until you’re giggling too hard.
He never wants you to run out of the supplies you need, or feel any less sexy while menstruating. Because you are always so sexy to him.

Maple and Mozzarella Brussels Sprout Gratin (Vegetarian)
Tumblr media
Beautifully creamy and cheesy, this Maple and Mozzarella Brussels Sprout Gratin makes a simple, yet more-ish lunch on a chill but sunny Winter day. Happy Wednesday!
Ingredients (serves 1):
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon pure (Grade A) Canadian Maple Syrup
2 tablespoons crème fraîche or sour cream
3 large leaves Garden Basil 
1 (125-gram/4.4-ounce) ball fresh mozzarella di bufala
1 cup cooked Brussels sprouts (steamed or boiled and drained)
fleur de sel or sea salt flakes and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 200°C/395°F.
Use a little of the oil to generously grease an individual baking tin.
Stir Maple Syrup into the crème fraîche, and spoon mixture at the bottom of the tin.
Finely chop Basil and sprinkle half onto the Maple crème fraîche.
Drain mozzarella and cut in half. Cut a mozzarella halve into dices, and the other into slices.
Scatter mozzarella dices onto the Maple cream.
Add steamed Brussels sprouts, pushing them into the Maple cream. Season with fleur de sel and black pepper. Top with mozzarella slices, sprinkle with leftover Basil, and drizzle with remaining olive oil.
Place baking tin in the middle of the hot oven, and bake, at 200°C/395°F, 20 minutes until cheese is bubbling and golden brown on top.
Enjoy Maple and Mozzarella Brussels Sprout Gratin hot, with a glass of chilled dry white wine, like Pinot Grigio.

I feel as if König is allergic to peanuts and true oranges specifically
Peanuts make him swell up and fall to the ground like a lead balloon because he loses his ability to breathe while true oranges make him nauseous with cramps so horrific that he is very close to feeling what we feel when we get periods
But he is perfectly fine with things like pistachios and almonds or clementines and tangerines to the point he eats them daily. Due to him biting his nails to shreds from his anxiety you have to help him with the peels as he struggles to get his nails in while with pistachios he just squeezes them between his fingers to break the shell. Nine times out of ten when you bring a fresh five kilogram bag of pistachios home because you wanted to make some pistachio treats for him you will find him stuffing them into his mouth like a squirrel at ungodly hours of the night until two thirds of the bag is gone
He absolutely adores pistachio ice cream. He does not care if he is lactose intolerant he will take a pill to help him or he will endure the hours of cramps. He probably enjoys the strawberry and pistachio ice cream the most, the one that has strawberry chunks, pistachio bits, white chocolate, and biscuit crumble in it with honey glazed on top (it is the best flavour of ice cream and you can fight me on it) with Oreo cookies and cream being his second favourite
ozzie, you're so right !! i think it's peanuts specifically, although he's desperate for a taste of peanut butter, and can't help but drool at the sight of chocolate and peanut mixed together. he'll die for a bite, quite literally, but you have to give him his epipen, or drag him away from the kitchen.
könig has a big appetite, and a huge sweet tooth. he can't resist strawberry flavoured desserts, stuffing it into his mouth and hiding away, embarrassed as he has his cheeks stuffed full, like a squirrel almost... 🐿️
if you buy pistachio ice-cream, it will be gone the next morning... or, you'll find a half empty tub in the freezer, könig licking his lips, with his hand deep in a bag of pistachios. i love salted cashews, i think he'd love them too, they wouldn't last very long after being bought...
the chunks in the strawberry are delicious to könig, but i absolutely despise them! too chunky, i would rather be sick... with oranges, the smell makes me nauseous, it's such a prominent and noticeable smell and i'd have to cover my nose while peeling it for könig. one fruit, i believe könig would hate (that i also happen to hate) is bananas. the texture? too mushy... taste? it's indescribable, i can't... and the bruises on them? absolutely disgusting.
könig can be judgemental accidentally, and he will glare at the reader for eating mint chocolate chip...
könig bites his ice-cream, and i'm getting chills at the thought of it. he'll do it purposely to fuck with you (unless you're also evil, and bite your ice-cream... my teeth couldn't 😮‍💨)
könig would love cucumber, but hate brussel sprouts. it's not that he's picky – he isn't whatsoever – but sees no appeal in brussel sprouts! me personally? i'm the opposite, cucumbers are disgusting, you won't change my mind!!!
i wouldn't be surprised if könig liked bubblegum ice-cream – and if you like it, i... have no words.. 😣

Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid) - An Unexpected Gift
Day 5 of Christmas
Tumblr media
“Another glass?” Jude asked, lifting the bottle of wine. “Don’t mind if I do.” Y/n smiled, lifting her glass from the countertop. Jude poured her a generous glass and one for himself. “Now, what else have we to do?” He asked. “Well, pigs in blankets, gravy, mashed potatoes-
“Brussel sprouts.” He interrupted. “Absolutely not.” Y/n replied, not looking up from the food in front of her. “My mum loves them.” Jude said, knowing she would definitely make some for the exception of one person and one person only. “I’ll make some for Denise but that’s it.” She said. "Thank you." The pair were cooking together for their first Christmas Dinner together. The years before, they both lived eith their parents, but since Jude moved to Madrid and Y/n moved for university, this would be their first Christmas in their new house and in a new city.
"How long until you family gets here?" Y/n asked. "Not for a while." Jude replied. "I say we get started on the breakfast. They could be here any minute." Y/n said. Jude nodded. "Yeah. We can leave the dinner for an hour or so."
"No, the turkey and ham needs to go in now and then the veg and stuff go on in a few hours." Y/n said. "Wouldn't that cremate the food?" Jude joked. "You're hilarious, really." Jude wrapped his arms around the shoulders and kissed her cheek, pulling her back into his chest. "I don't know what I would do without you." He whispers. "You'd have an undercooked turkey." He chuckled. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say. Let's just get the breakfast done first."
The pair set aside the dinner and went to work at the breakfast, making....well a full English. What else could be better first thing on Christmad day? Especially for Jude's family who were fresh off a flight from England. As they were plating the food, the doorbell rang so of course, Jude went to see who it was. It didn't take long to decipher who it was as she heard the familiar voices of Jude's family from the hallway, followed by Denise walking into the kitchen with a huge smile on her face. "Y/n! How are you, my dear?" Y/n put the pan in her hand down and went to greet Denise with a hug. "Oh my goodness, it's been so long!" Y/n chuckled. "You're cooking breakfast?"
"Yes, full English." Y/n replied. "Jude, you have a good girlfriend." Denise shouted out. Jude shortly walked into the kitchen with a huge grin on his face. "I've the best girlfriend." He replied. "Have you opened your presents yet?" Denise asked. "No, I told him we should wait for you, Denise." Y/n then greeted Jobe and his dad before the family sat down and enjoyed their breakfast together. "Full English breakfasts just taste better on holiday." Mark said, finishing up his breakfast. "Or maybe it's just the person who cooked it." Y/n smiled at the compliment. "I wouldn't say that. I've had Denise's breakfasts and they are unreal."
Y/n put the dishes away in the dishwasher with the help of Jobe, and the family went to the living room to open the gifts. Denis head brought a few with her, as well as the few from duty free. Y/n sat on the sofa beside Jude opening the gifts she had received from her own family who unfortunately couldn't make it this year. Jude simply sat beside her with his arms around her, every so often pressing kisses onto her shoulder. "We should go to your family next year." Jude whispered. "Why's that?" She asked. "Well I don't have to be back to training until the 29th, do I?" Y/n held a melancholic smile. "Suppose so."
"You alright?" Jude asked. "I just miss them." She said. A few minutes later, the buzzer for the gate has buzzed. Y/n looked confused. "Who's that?" Jude shrugged his shoulders. "Probably the postman." He replied. "It's Christmas Day. Surely they don't do post on Christmas day?" Jude stood up and pressed the button for the gate to open. Shortly after, the doorbell rang. Jude promptly stood up and walked out to the hall, opening the door. Nobody heard anything from the hall, then a few moments later, they heard talking and laughing. As the footsteps towards the living room grew closer, Y/n turned her head. Jude walked through the door and then, to Y/n's surprise, her whole family.
"Mum!" Y/n ran into her mums arms, then her dad came and threw his arms around both ladies. "You planned this?" Y/n asked. "Course, I did. I didn't want our first Christmas away to only have one family." Y/n peppered Jude's face in kisses. "You didn't tell her we were coming?" Her dad asked. "No, I thought I'd leave it as a surprise." Jude smiled. "Oh, you're the sweetest." Y/n's mum said, her hand over her heart. "I love you so much." Jude kissed the top of her head. "Happy Christmas, love." He whispered, pulling her closer into his chest. "Happy Christmas."

here’s some thanksgiving modern AU rdr2 head canons:
arthur is the only one allowed to carve the turkey. hosea, dutch, person, and grimshaw have tried perfecting it over the years, but have since now been banned. arthur carves it so perfect and meticulously that knives are hidden from everyone else until it is time, then arthur carves it
every year hosea makes a wonderful pineapple upside down cake. his secret ingredient is canned pineapple. everyone thinks he uses a fresh whole pineapple but it’s a lie
lenny is in charge of potatoes. he brings a whole spread of mashed potatoes, from the red potatoes, to yukon gold, to sweet potatoes
john is in charge of the canned cranberry sauce. it’s the only thing he can’t fuck up
every year there’s a gravy contest. dutch is the undefeated champion, with bill always coming in second
javier makes the best sides. his speciality is a maple brown sugar Brussel sprout side dish. everyone loves it, including young Jack
trelawny’s job every year is to have a magic show, and each year it gets better and more extravagant. one year he made john disappear and they couldn’t find john for three days. after that, dutch and hosea said he needs to stick with card tricks and smaller illusions
albert mason comes and as a gift everyone gets to choose a portrait of what he photographed that year!!!!! so lovely!!!!!
bill and micah’s job is to bring the alcohol. and they ALWAYS deliver
