The Dish with Kish (s21e03)

#Kristen Kish #Top Chef #Top Chef spoilers #The Dish with Kish #Marcel Vigneron #aw‚ it's nice to see that Marcel grew up to be much more comfortable in his skin #I still can't rewatch season 2 because of the absolutely disgusting dogpiling behavior of most of the hamsters #especially that cocksmear Ilan #who did not deserve to win for essentially replicating Casa Mono's menu for the finale #yes‚ Marcel was a little immature and dorky and annoying #but there was no excuse for the constant bullying and belitting‚ which was horrifying to watch #I agree with Colicchio that all the assholes should have been kicked out‚ not just Cliff

I can't decide what I like most about the last panel: the faded Pikachu, Kish's stupid face, or that Stupid Frickin SHIRT I keep putting him in. I regret nothing, that shirt is perfect for him. Put Kish in Dumb Alien Jail where he belongs.

Anyway, this is probably a follow-up to the Sass Trash Gossip Corner scribble? Or not. Who knows? YOU decide!

#tokyo mew mew #kish #ichigo momomiya #ryou shirogane #for someone who likes kishigo i sure do like dishing on it to hell and back lol #the ship's already got so many holes in it #why not take a cannon and add some more while i'm at it #i ship ichigo hating kish and kish loving every minute of it

I'm going back and watching through some of the episodes from the 2002 anime and I started with 45 because It's fucking insane and I just-

My dude, what kind of response were you expecting.

Why are his eyes doing that.

Mr. Grabby hands-

Good question-

He F L O A T

The animators were smoking something when they made this-

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

A BETTER ANALYSIS

She rejects his "love", rejects his lord rejects his attempts of saving her. He's not aware of how his actions affect her and her perception towards him.

So in a moment of rage he snaped.

The strawberries analogy is a perfect foreshadowing for the moments that proceed.

He didn't hesitate to crush the fruit with her name, he even says its time for the main dish.

We know he loves to torment ichigo, he has pleasure in seeing her suffer, cry etc.

To him, ichigo is the cause of all his problems even if he loves her. He violently shakes her for deifying him

And asking for her to change her mind and give her sometime to think... He really hasn't give up on the idea of forcing her to be with him/take her with him

BUT Once Aoyama arrives he uses her as bait, so maybe this all like in the manga, an attempt to trigger blue knight "awakening"

I'm glad New removed this thought of Ichigo I understand she feels sympathy for him but girl ...

he tried to kill you moments ago (we've before New I've always seen this as strangling)

I understand Kish fans not liking TMMN depiction of him, but I'm loving it, to me he was always like this (thank you manga) There's tons of moments where he's super abusive to her, threatens to kill her or her boyfriend, friends. etc

So this reaction wasn't anything out of the norm. But it was the first time we got to see his most vulnerable side. If Kish was another type of villain, I would say he was manipulating/guilt tripping her, but I feel like those tears were sincere.

FFXIVWrite Day 4: Off The Hook

It was a warm and sunny summer day in the Eastern Highlands. A young Elezen boy with silver hair pulled back into a ponytail sat on a boulder by a creek in a forest with a fishing rod in hand. He couldn't remember how long he sat there for, but he could at least tell the sun shifted in its position. Where it was sunny before, now there was shade, making it more difficult for him to spot fish. He considered moving position, but why should he? He finished his chores for the day, did he not? What's the rush?

"ESTINIEN?!"

The boy turned his head at the loud screech of his name, recognizing who screeched it immediately. Along scurried his little brother of just under seven summers, sporting the same silver hair and gray tunic as him- his hair was just shorter and his tunic was just smaller.

Estinien raised a finger to his lips and made a loud, "SHHHHHH!" before harshly whispering, "Shut up! You'll scare off the fish!"

"Oh." Hamignant shuffled his feet. "Sorry", he whispered back.

"What do you want?"

"Mama said I should find you."

"What for?"

"She told me that I need to do something with you."

"What? Why?"

"She said I need fresh air."

Estinien sighed agitatedly. "Well, don't scream any more."

"Fine." Hamignant used his tinier hands and feet to climb the boulder and sit next to his big brother. The younger brother stared into the water. "Isn't it harder to see fish here?"

"I mean...a little, but that's why I need to concentrate."

"What's that mean? Con-sa-tray?"

"No, it's con-cen-trate. It means I need to pay attention, and I can't do that if you keep talking."

"Oh." Hamignant stayed quiet and watched his big brother as he focused solely on his fishing exploits. It took all of fifteen seconds for the younger sibling to ask, "How many fish are there?"

"Wh-- how should I know that?"

"You're big brother. You know everything."

"Well, I don't know that, Hamignant." Hamignant went back to watching the water. "Can we do something else?"

"You're the one who came to me, and I'm fishing. If you want to do something else, go do it somewhere else."

"You're mean", Hamignant curled his knees to his chest and hugged them while pouting. Estinien went right back to the water, ignoring his brother's futile efforts at garnering sympathy. For a few minutes, he was quiet, much to Estinien's relief, but just as he started falling into complacency, Hamignant decided now was the time to become a songwriter. Softly, he sang, "Fish, Dish, Wish, Smish, Pish, Kish, Lish" much like a song for the Eorzean alphabet they learned at one point.

Estinien started growling to himself, ready to cast aside fishing to scare off Hamignant. Thankfully, a pull against his line made him stop his preparations. With one tug, Estinien gasped.

"What?" Hamignant stopped singing to ask.

"Shh", Estinien shushed as he kept his eye. There was one more pull at his line, but nothing sank yet. "What's going on, Estinien?" Just as he asked that question, his hook sank. Estinien excitedly reeled in his first catch of the day. "Finally!"

"Whoa! You caught one, Estinien! You caught one!" The boy pulled his triumph towards him and unhooked it. "Wow, it's small!" Hamignant pointed out.

"Yeah, it is", Estinien agreed nonchalantly. "It's just a guppy. I'm not looking to catch fish to eat" With that, Estinien threw it back into the waters. "Well, now what?"

"I'm not sure. Wanna skip rocks at the lake?" Estinien suggested.

"Sure!"

Estinien and Hamignant climbed off the rock together and made their way south, following the direction of the water flow in the creek. "What happens when we leave this spot, Estinien?"

"It stays there. It'll be there tomorrow."

"Can we come back and see it again?"

"Sure. After I finish chores tomorrow, I'm coming right back."

"What if you have to watch the sheep again tomorrow?"

"Even better. I'll come back the day after."

Hamignant looked around the forest. "Could you catch squid here?"

"Squid? I've never seen a squid here. I think they're in the ocean, aren't they?"

"Ooh, ooh, ooh! I heard that it's got a bunch of slimy legs and people eat them!"

"No they don't! Stop being gross!"

Hamignant laughed and argued, "Yes they do! I heard it from Rosimperic who heard it from a fisherman from Gridania!"

"Rosimperic's messing with you!"

After that, the youngest picked up his pace into a sprint. "Race you to the lake!" Estinien put on a smirk and accepted the challenge, entering into his own sprint and chasing after Hamignant, the two boys running to enjoy a summer afternoon.

------

It was a summer afternoon, not that anyone could tell by looks alone. Never mind what eternal winter did, and never mind what Nidhogg did. Eastern Coerthas formed into a land beyond recognition thanks to Dalamud landing. Even with the destruction that ravaged this land, perhaps even in spite of it, a boulder yet stood. It had cracks, it had plenty chipped off of it, but that boulder would not bow to anything, no matter how apocalyptic.

Ice and sleet cracked under the footsteps of the former Azure Dragoon as he stepped towards this boulder. Upon reaching it, he laid down his lance against the rock and sat down on it. Fury, he remembered this boulder being much bigger.

Even if Bahamut hadn't come, Nidhogg razed this land and left the creek that once flowed through here untenable for any life. He could never fish here again. Still, he stared down at what was once a frequently visited fishing spot, thinking about the guppies he would catch and release, thinking about teaching Hamignant how to fish here when he grew too old for this stream, thinking about how Hamignant ran towards him to join him, thinking about how he and Hamignant would hold their childish contests and play their games.

Thinking about Hamignant.

Thinking about how Hamignant deserved to be here with him.

Thinking of how he could have taken Hamignant with him on his new journey.

Thinking of how Alphinaud wept at his bedside, and how for a singular moment, he could have sworn they were the sobs of Hamignant.

The specters of childhood yet remained even in this blighted land, but who was he to judge? It was as ravaged by Nidhogg's rancor as he was.

He gripped against the rock, moving his fingers about to find it. The mark that made this his rock. Soon, he felt it. Engraved along the side of it, he felt their initials along his fingertips. The calamity couldn't strip this boulder of his effect. Nidhogg couldn't strip it. This was their rock.

"You like that, Hamignant? We did that", Estinien spoke aloud.

Perhaps there was something in the wind, but he felt just the slightest bit chillier. "Don't worry. I've no intention of sticking around here. I simply wish to see it one more time." And so he did. As he looked, his index finger circled around Hamignant's initials.

There was a tightness in Estinien's chest. "You were made an object of my vengeance. You, mother, father...you deserved better. Your memories should not have been sullied so. Please, forgive me."

He stared into the endless winter, unforgiving and unrelenting. "This is a rock. I'm talking to a rock." He sniffled slightly. "...I think I needed to talk to a rock."

Against the white blanket of snow, there was yet a piece of green that stood in defiance. As he focused on it, he recognized it as a baby pine. Even in the fecund soils of Eastern Coerthas, perhaps even in spite of them, it dared to grow anew. "Heh." Estinien stood up and knelt before the sprout. "Well...if you're intent on growing, then so am I." He grabbed hold of his lance and replaced it on his back, then he turned away from the boulder, and began his journey anew.

"This will still be here tomorrow, after all."

noticed all my favorite things of the year (anthony bourdain, kristen kish, thai street food, eggs, my cleaver, mushrooms, making coffee slowly, deliberately, dinner parties ) involved food like how could i not love it the heady sharp buzz of making it shopping for it slowly threading myself into a crowd at the supermarket and picking up an immaculate pack of shimeji, bringing it home and laying it out figuring what to do first and the actual preparation of it the chopping rendering of fat portioning the mise into tiny bowls conserving onions putting on oscar peterson and ella fitz as i count out minutes for boiling pasta adjusting the flavor of a dish is like tuning a stringed instrument you have to get it just so just a dash of fish sauce or a thumb of crushed oregano straight from the garden, have you seen a fried egg sizzle into a pan like a hissing, yolky cloud, then ladled it over instant noodles or a well buttered wedge of bread. in that moment youve pushed past unsureness and slight executive dysfunction to create something real and tangible and present. congratulations

Fast Foodies (prod. Michael Rucker).

TruTV’s delightfully trashy meets classy food competition show, starring three very appealing and renowned celebrity chefs—all participants and winners from Top Chef or Iron Chef—and a different guest comedian each episode, is totally the comfort dish we need right now.

There’s a keen joy in both recreating and remixing a fresh culinary take on famous fast food dishes while celebrating the highs and lows of eating things we find delicious but are clearly bad for us. It’s a fun watch, especially for Chef Kristen Kish’s charming screen presence, to revisit the savoury items we grew up loving twisted through a more sophisticated adult palate.

Persian Cuisine

On the afternoon of the 21st of September I stumbled into the Persian eatery ‘Kish’, in London, with an empty belly and exceptionally high hopes. Of course, this was not my first rodeo. I had grown up eating Persian food from a young age and it was certainly something dear to my heart; therefore, when I was teased with a formidable 4.5 star restaurant rating on Tripadvisor, I merely could not resist. I was not disappointed. I left the restaurant gleaming brighter than a freshly soaked saffron spice. However, you will be deeply saddened to know I did not take pictures, consequently I must gloss over the details. Nevertheless, you will be pleased to know that my mother and grandmother decided to recreate some of these dishes (with the menial labour being assigned to me seeing as I was the least experienced).

Unfortunately, I did not think far enough ahead to make note of the recipes but at least I took some pictures this time. To compensate, I have linked recipes for these dishes from the internet.

This combination of barberry rice and chicken is known as “Zereshk Polo”. ‘Persian Mama’ has published a brilliant recipe on it which I will link here. Be sure to try this one at home!

To an untrained eye this admittedly does not seem like the most appetising dish on the planet. However, this is one of my personal favourites ... Khoresh-e fesenjān, or simply fesenjān. This chicken, walnut and pomegranate stew is bound to sway even the fussiest of eaters. I will, once more, link ‘Persian Mama’’s recipe here.

This Persian eggplant dip is called “Mirza Ghasemi” and is also one of my personal favourites. You can find ‘Persian Mama’’s tips on how to re-create this here.

The final dish I will present to you is Khoresh Bādemjān, a Persian eggplant and tomato stew. This is one of ‘Persian Mama’’s husband’s favourite dishes, as she outlines in her recipe here.

I thoroughly enjoyed aiding as best I could in the kitchen. I was assigned the momentous tasks of washing, drying, and chopping herbs as well mincing and frying walnuts and everything in-between! I must confess I played a somewhat secondary role in the preparation of the meal however, it was amazing to be a part of the process first hand and see just how much goes into preparing a Persian meal. One aspect of the meal that struck me almost immediately was the ingredients. Everything was fresh, with no shortcuts. This was something that I picked up at the restaurant as well, upon speaking to the cooks and waiters. There was a definite emphasis and insistence on crisp ingredients, something which I had known but never to this extent. This seemed almost ingrained in the culture, as though anything but fresh is almost blasphemous.

A stereotype I had of Persians (being half Persian myself) was the sheer volume of food. Visiting Persian friends and family, I often feel inundated with food. Too much is the right amount. This was certainly the case when I ate with my family. When eating Persian food with friends of different backgrounds, they too often comment on the volume as well as the ‘taroof’ factor which they don't always seem to comprehend. Overall, undoubtedly, this was a great culinary experience which I will be sure to build up on, perhaps even tackling a meal entirely on my own in the near future.
