husk can’t cook for shit but he makes drinks like no one’s business. obviously this is part of the course for a bartender, of course he knows how to make drinks, but you can only make so many martinis and old fashioneds before it starts feeling old and boring and monotonous- so husk gets experimental with his cocktails, just for fun, and uses angel as a test dummy. some drinks are hits, some are misses, some are almost there and just need tweaking, and angel is more than happy to provide feedback
and angel, who is an amazing cook, does the same with husk. he does a lot of traditional italian meals, but again, you can only have the same eight pasta dishes so many times before it just gets bland and frustrating. so angel tries new recipes and tries to come up with his own spins on stuff, and even branches out into other cultural dishes. he doesn’t have a lot of time outside of work, but as he starts clubbing less and less, he starts cooking more and more- and he and husk can usually be found in the hotel kitchen late at night.
once they’re officially a couple, most of their date nights include husk sitting on the counter while angel cooks a good dinner and once it’s done they move to the bar, where husk makes special drinks for the two of them. it’s domestic and quiet and so very needed- a calm and relaxed getaway from the chaos that is hell. all they need is each other, and they’re good to go.
My friends and I have started calling you the irl version of Lilia and we wished to know if you can cook because we are worried for the home if you cannot
(This is a light hearted joke)
I can (more or less) follow a recipe, which gives me the advantage! >:D ...although it is true then when left to my own devices I default to "dump in a bunch of random spices and see what happens". I...I just really like cayenne and turmeric okay --
other than that (and all the other many things that are different about us) Lilia and I are, y'know, basically identical.

In autumn, it's very popular to eat soups like this. Here I'm calling this a soup because it's what it's called in English, but in Catalan we usually make a difference between a soup / sopa (broth with things in it, usually pasta and can also have vegetables and sometimes some meat) and what we see in this video which we'd call a cream / crema. A "cream" is made of vegetables and is made into a homogeneous creamy liquid.
In this case, La Sofregida is making one of the most common "creams" for autumn: squash "cream".
I'll add her recipe under the cut.
Squash cream (crema de carbassa):
Ingredients:
Squash
Leek
Scallion
Water
A sprinkle of olive oil
Salt
You can also add carrots or a potato and some cheese that melts easily, and mix it all in like the other ingredients.
Preparation:
Place the vegetables in a pan and add a sprinkle of olive oil and salt, then slightly stir-fry the vegetables to bring out the taste.
Add water to boil them for 30-40 minutes more or less, until the vegetables are cooked.
Mix it all with a blender to make a homogenous soup, and serve!
When you serve it, you can add a bit of Iberian ham or bacon on top. Enjoy!
Oil
Pita
Some salad, olive oil and lemon
Yoghurt, cucumber and lemon
Chillies
Pickled red onions
Method:
Start by mixing together your spices. Add a glug of oil to your mushrooms and then sprinkle the spices on top. Mix well to coat every bit of the mushies.
Now grab a skillet and a bit of oil add in the mushrooms. Add something heavy on top, like another pan or a bowl and press down, let cook for 3-4 mins until charred slightly and then flip the mushrooms and repeat the process.
Now mix together your salad ingredients in a bowl and your yoghurt ingredients in another bowl.
Heat up your flatbread, load on the salad and yoghurt, then the mushroom shawarma and then top with Chillies and pickled red onions and ENJOY!!
