Hey do you hate pumpkin? I hate pumpkin. It's okay in soup with garlic and chili but I can't stand it sweet in pie or bread or muffins. Gross.

But I like pumpkin pie spice, which is just a combination of ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon. (Hate sweet coffee so pumpkin spice lattes are off the table for me too, but I'll add actual pumpkin pie spice to coffee sometimes).

Anyway if you hate pumpkin but want to get in on pumpkin spice I've got two recommendations:

Add pumpkin pie spice to chocolate chip cookies

Add pumpkin pie spice to a Mother's Day Pie and dye it orange for a mock-pumpkin pie.

So pumpkin pie spice is one part of each cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. If you've got those spices on your spice rack you can mix them together and add a teaspoon of the resulting powder to either cookies or pie for a nice hint of spice. Add two teaspoons if you like a lot of spice.

You do you for your chocolate chip recipe (I use the Tollhouse recipe but I double the recipe and cut the chocolate chips in half and I use all butter/no shortening) and here's a Mother's Day Pie recipe:

(This is supposed to be a pie so easy that a dad and kids can make it for mom without her help, hence the name. It's an egg custard pie with a self-forming coconut crust and without spices is just a bit bland)

1 cup sugar

2 tbsp all purpose flour

.25 tsp salt

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

6tbsp melted butter (cooled)

1 tsp vanilla OR .5 tsp almond extract

3 eggs

1 can of evaporated (NOT sweetened condensed) milk (12 oz can)

1 cup shredded coconut

Preheat your oven to 350

Mix dry ingredients (except coconut), add in the butter and flavor extract, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in your can of evaporated milk and mix thoroughly, then fold in the shredded coconut. (optional: add a few drops of food coloring to turn it orange in a mock pumpkin pie or whatever color you want; i love teal food and no one can stop me) Pour into a pie plate and bake for 50-55 minutes; put in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the custard to set.

I find that if you're using the spices almond extract tastes better and if you're omitting the spices vanilla extract tastes better (and in that case the pie is nice when served with fresh berries)

Can I req an influencer/celebrity Iso x bakery owner reader?

Or just an Iso x bakery owner in general :0 <3

Sugar and Stardust

Characters: Li Zhao "Iso" Yu Type: Fluff, Oneshot, Gn!reader, Normal AU??? like the vp and all that doesn't exist

did I name the bakery after a mlp character? Yes. Yes I did.

Warning: none

Being an idol wasn't as glorious as people made it seem. There were so many factors that lots of people wouldn't be able to handle. There was paparazzi, demanding managers, and crazy fans who sometimes forget their favs are human too.

Needless to say, Li was exhausted after his last tour. He had spent around 4 weeks performing under his stage name Iso, bouncing around countries that we're far from home. But now, he was finally able to relax.

He decided to spend his time off back at his hometown, visiting family and old friends. Iso's birthplace was relatively small compared to the big cities he's grown used to, meaning it was much safer to go out without some disguise. He walked through the market place, looking at all the familiar shops and reminiscing of his younger years.

There were a few street vendors, a convenience store and... wait a minute.

Huh, that place must be new.

Iso stopped, looking up at the sign that read "Sunset Shimmer Bakery" in fancy writing.

I guess I'll give it a try.

Iso entered the bakery and was immediately struck by the scent of freshly baked pastries. He looked around, taking in the warm and cozy atmosphere. There were warm toned lights strung along the ceiling, which gave a much gentler feel compared to bright florescents. The air around him was warm and there were tables with soft cushioned chairs in sort of a gold-yellow hue.

You perked up at the sound of a customer entering and made your way towards the counter from the kitchen.

"Hello, and welcome to Sunset Shimmer Bakery. Are you ready to get an order started or do you need a moment?"

Iso looked up at the source of the voice and his pupils dilatated. In front of them was the most beautiful person he had ever seen, despite being in a flour covered apron.

"I uh- one minute please."

"Alright, I'll be over here when you're ready."

The man stood staring for a moment as you returned to what you had been doing before. Snapping out of his trance, he took some time to assess the sweets in the display case in front of him. There was a plethora of pastries and other sweets, ranging from mini cheesecakes and muffins to more Chinese snacks like custard buns and jiandui (sesame balls).

After a few moments more, he looked up to see you had finished your task and were now waiting on him.

"Are you ready to order?" You asked with a sweet smile. You were just doing your job but god Iso couldn't help but to think you were adorable.

"Yeah, I think I'll take one of those," he said, pointing into the display case."

Somehow, your face seemed to light up even more as you went to open up the case.

"This one is one of my favorites! I like to call it Star-berry Shortcake!"

The pastry was a single serving sized strawberry shortcake, with a tiny bit of gold powder sprinkled over the top with some star sprinkles decorating the top.

You packed up a slice in a box for him before sticking something to the top of it and putting it in a small bag. The man got out his wallet, ready for you to tell him his total before looking up and seeing you holding the bag out to him.

"This one's on the house!"

He was quick to argue, being more than willing to pay you but you just smiled and shook your head with an "I insist".

Iso sighed, taking the bag and then thanking you. He begins to head towards the door before stopping in his tracks and turning back to you.

"By the way...what's your name?"

You let out a soft and angelic laugh before answering "It's Y/n."

The idol nodded before bidding you goodbye once again, making his way back home. Once there, he sat down and pulled his sweet treat out of the bag before reading the note you had stuck to the top.

"I never thought such a big star would walk into my little bakery. Thank you for the visit, Iso <3"

Iso smiles at the note and the little heart you drew in the corner. Setting it aside, he began to eat the cake he just bought- was given. The cake was delicious and seemed to be just as sweet as you had been.

He would have to visit your shop again. If not for the baked goods, then it would be for the cute owner that has piqued his interest.

[legendary-cookies]

https://www.tumblr.com/legendary-cookies/743946175244386304/eternal-sugar-beast-cookie-looks-like-sugar?source=share

Hey! Ummmm...

I'm gonna say what I understand from the lore (both from CRK and CROB)

The Witches created the cookies, but because of spores, probably there's Cookies who were formed from zero without the witches (with what Timekeeper says in the relationship card (specifically for Longan), this makes this the possibility), a cookie that I think that wasn't created by the witches is White Lily Cookie (It is said in her story that she emerged into existence (idk what word to use) by a solitary bean of moonlight), and there's a chance that the actual ancients weren't created by them but actually were chosen by them.

And probably the legends (like Sea Fairy) were created by a concentration of magic.

In my conception, Sugar Swan was created by a concentration of magic and created most of the "wild" cookies (cookies not created by witches or wizards), and it seems like that was it. And Longan says that Cookies didn't exist when dragons ruled the world, so surely Sugar Swan didn't create the world, much less exist at the time of Dragons.

It's hard to say really because I think a lot of the things contradict itself in how Cookies were made

Some were definitely created by the witches and wizards but some were really not

The whole thing is super contradictory to me because they keep claiming that all Cookies were made by the witches or wizards, but there's proof of Cookies not created by them

To name a few, Wind Archer used to be the wind but was given the power to become a Cookie, Pond Dino was birthed from an egg right in front of other Cookies, all the dragons turn into Cookies when weakened (I believe), Matcha was created by Dark Enchantress, etc.

And they keep claiming Gingerbrave was the first to leave the oven which seems as if they're trying to imply he's the first Cookie, but that can't be possible because his adventure involves literally finding other Cookies that have already established a whole society

There's also the whole thing about Cookie relatives

Hollyberry has a son, Dark Cacao has a son, Lord Oyster is an ancestor of Oyster, Custard III literally has an "III" in his name implying he has a lineage, etc., etc.

Timekeeper mentions the existence of Cookies being inevitable, yes, but they aren't clear about how just in that they will exist whether Longan likes it or not

There's definitely a possibility of remnant life powder, magic, etc. creating other Cookies because baking is never a clean process, but it's never stated explicitly so we can't know if that really is a method of Cookie creation and which Cookies were created in such a way

Like I'm not saying you're wrong because I think a lot of that is a good interpretation, but it's hard to say if you're right because nothing is really clear

One thing I can say confidently, though, is it's essentially canon that Sugar Swan created the Cookie world

Her Ovenbreak story states:

However, while Sugar Swan created the world, she did not create the Cookies as seen from this dialogue with Wizard in Kingdom:

It seems to me that the only Cookie Sugar Swan gave life to was Wind Archer (and maybe Stardust? That part of his story confused me because it was either creation or she gave him a push to keep living)

It's unclear what this means in relation to everything else especially with the introduction of the Beast Cookies supposedly being the first ones created, but even throughout Kingdom, they seem to revere Sugar Swan as a celestial being with powers of life

Castletown Café Episode 27: Butterscotch-Cinnamon Pie

It's been 8 years.....doesn't seem like that long, does it? On September 15th, 2015, Undertale launched to the world and took the internet by storm, delighting gamers young and old and capturing their hearts and minds with the story, humor, memorable characters, and beautiful music. Without Undertale, there wouldn't be Deltarune.

It's safe to assume that the pie Kris stole between Chapters 1 and 2 as well as the pie Toriel later teaches Susie how to bake is the same pie from Undertale: butterscotch-cinnamon pie. It's the pie Toriel is known for in Undertale, where she asks you early on in the game which flavor you prefer. It doesn't matter if you choose cinnamon or butterscotch, because she later bakes you one delicious pie with both flavors included that compliment each other perfectly.

This pie is well known by fans to restore your health to full HP, regardless of the route you take (which effects how much max HP you have). It even has plot significance! If you know, you know.

Since Undertale's launch, I've made butterscotch-cinnamon pie every September to commemorate it's anniversary. In previous years, I followed pre-existing recipes, but this year, I have concocted my own! The results are a beautiful custard pie with a perfectly-set filling and it tastes as heavenly as the pies I'd made in the past!

While many butterscotch pie recipes out there include a meringue topping, I always opt for a cinnamon-vanilla whipped topping, inspired by @terribletriocreations butterscotch-cinnamon pie recipe. That said, I'd love to try out my butterscotch-cinnamon pie recipe with a meringue topping one of these days!

There are so many different ways to make butterscotch pie, from the simple to the advanced. You can make it with the browning butter method, or use butterscotch chips, or an easy brown sugar and butter custard filling. Mine is the latter category; great for any beginner and easy to make! Here we go!

BUTTERSCOTCH-CINNAMON PIE:

1 pie crust, pre-made or made from scratch

1 cup firmly-packed dark brown sugar

3 tablespoons flour

3 tablespoons cornstarch

Pinch of salt

2 cups milk

4 egg yolks, divided

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cinnamon-Vanilla Whipped Topping:

1 cup heavy cream

3 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out pie crust and line a pie dish with it. Make sure the crust fits the dish, trim off any excess dough, and dock the bottom with a fork.

Crimp the edges of the crust around the rim of the pie dish. I do it by pinching the dough with my fingers and thumb, but using a fork or another utensil works, too.

In a small bowl, scramble one egg yolk with a little bit of water and brush the rim to gloss the edges of the pie.

Grab a sheet of foil and place in the pie, then fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake the crust for about 7-10 minutes. After that, remove it from the oven for a moment.

Remove the beans or pie weights and place a pie shield on the rim of the pie shell to prevent the crust rim from overcooking. If you don't have a pie shield, grab a sheet of foil and place it over the pie, cutting out the center where the filling should go. Instant pie shield! Now, bake your pie crust again for another 5-7 minutes, or until your crust is fully baked. Remove it from the oven yet again. If the crust puffs up at the bottom, squish it back down with a spoon.

In a small mixing bowl, beat 3 egg yolks and set aside.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, flour, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk together for 30 seconds, then slowly add the milk while continuing to whisk in order to prevent any clumps or lumps from forming.

Cook the mixture, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until it's nice and thick and is bubbling a wee bit.

Stir in the butter and keep cooking as the butter melts. After that, keep stirring and cooking for a few more minutes, then remove from heat.

With a ladle, slowly incorporate (while whisking) 1 cup of the hot butterscotch mixture into the egg yolks to temper the eggs and prevent scrambling from occurring. Once you've added and mixed it together, feel free to add just a little more butterscotch, slowly, to ensure that the eggs gradually got hot enough. Then simply pour your egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining butterscotch.

Return your butterscotch to medium heat and cook again for another 3 minutes or so, then stir in the vanilla and cinnamon until fully incorporated.

Pour that butterscotch filling into your prepared pie shell and bake once again for another 7-10 minutes. Remove your pie from the oven and let it cool completely. Once cooled, your custard should be completely set and ready for the whipped topping!

In another mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon and beat on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Attach your decorating tip of choice to a piping bag and place it in a tall glass to fill it with the whipped cream. As you would with decorating a cake, pipe the whipped topping over your pie in any pattern or design you'd like. If you want, you can sprinkle the top with a little extra ground cinnamon for a finishing touch. Enjoy and stay determined! ❤

Tom Hiddleston Characters as Desserts

(Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters or images. This is just a fun listicle, not designed to offend anyone. As always, please feel free to leave comments and/or constructive criticism below. Thank you, and without any further ado, please enjoy!)

Characters in this list: Will Ransome, King Henry V, Loki of Asgard and Jotunheim, Bill Hazeldine, Coriolanus, Jonathan Pine, Robert Laing, Magnus Martinsson, Oakley, Thomas Sharpe, and Jaguar Villain! Tom Hiddleston.

Will Ransome from The Essex Serpent - Raspberry Jam and Coconut Cakes

I chose this dessert for Will because it's mentioned in the original novel The Essex Serpent (which the series is based on). Plus, the titular serpent is considered a very exotic, almost mythical creature to Will, much like how coconuts were considered a very exotic fruit in Victorian England. 

And in addition to that, the delicate nature of these little cakes is stronger than Will's loyalty (seriously, his wife Stella deserved better).

King Henry V from The Hollow Crown - Macarons

Macarons are delectable, expensive, and definitely fit for royalty. Plus, they tend to be subtle in flavor just like Henry's subtle charm, which he makes good use of when needed.

(What would Hal's favorite macaron flavor be? Something tells me French vanilla or raspberry.)

Loki of Asgard and Jotunheim, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Green Tea Cheesecake

How can Loki's dessert not have green - his signature color - in it? This is also a very decadent dessert and therefore fitting for a prince (and a rightful king). Plus, consuming green tea is linked to higher energy levels, just like how Loki excites fans all over the world. 

(Also a good match for Loki? The Swedish princess cake, known as prinsesstårta. It was named as such because princesses were believed to have been fond of the cake. It's layered with custard and jam, and covered in green marzipan. Plus, Sweden is part of Scandanavia, which practiced Norse mythology once upon a time. And as almost everyone knows, Loki is the Norse god of mischief.)

Bill Hazeldine from Suburban Shootout - Battenberg Cake

For those who haven't heard of it before, a Battenberg cake is made from pink and yellow sponge cakes, linked together with jam and coated in marzipan, which is made from almonds and sugar. It was invented to mark the wedding of Princess Victoria (Queen Victoria's granddaughter) to Louis of Battenberg, hence the name.

The pink and yellow colors reminded me of Bill's sunny, rose-tinted outlook towards life. Plus, the square shape is pretty similar to Bill's square nature as someone who is pretty straightforward and reluctant to break rules.

Coriolanus from the play of the same name - Panna Cotta with Raspberry Sauce

Honestly, one of the reasons I chose this dessert for Coriolanus is because the raspberry sauce is reminiscent of Coriolanus's bloodthirsty nature as a general of the Roman army. And much like how panna cotta has a somewhat rigid shape that cannot be easily changed, Coriolanus has a tough time changing his own nature when he enters into politics (he doesn't get along with the ordinary citizens) and it's one of the reasons he doesn't do well in his elections.

Jonathan Pine from The Night Manager - Sticky Toffee Pudding

For a man who declares himself to be English "to the core", a sticky toffee pudding seems appropriate. Not to mention, Jonathan's decision to get involved in the operation to take down a great, international arms dealer puts him in numerous sticky situations that he needs to get out of, using his wits and strength.

Robert Laing from High Rise - Tiramisu

Tiramisu - lady finger cookies soaked in espresso, layered with ricotta cheese, and dusted with some cocoa powder. Dr. Laing deserves a dessert that caters to his mature tastes. Before the events of the movie, Laing is portrayed as someone who has their life together, down to each detail. Everything is perfectly in its place, just like the layers of tiramisu. Of course, that all changes over the course of the film, just like how none of the layers remain in place while eating a piece of tiramisu.

(And speaking of lady fingers, that sunbathing scene totally made some ladies want to put their fingers…never mind, sorry. Let's move on.)

Magnus Martinsson from Wallander - Lavender Lemon Cupcakes

Honestly, this is mainly because for some reason, I associate Magnus with the cottagecore aesthetic. Maybe it's because Wallander is set in a small town in Ystad, Sweden, or maybe it's because of Magnus's curls and boyish, innocent looks. But Magnus is anything but innocent sometimes, having sarcastic remarks ready at the drop of a hat. Hence, the hint of sourness with the lemon.

Oakley from Unrelated - Cannoli

There's a couple of reasons why I chose cannolis for Oakley. Number one, the film Unrelated is set in Tuscany, Italy, and cannolis are Italian. Number two, Oakley as a character keeps a playful, hedonistic, almost arrogant exterior when on the inside, he's sentimental and has deep-seated issues with his father. It's quite like how cannolis are hard on the outside and creamy, with chocolate chips or nuts, on the inside.

(Number three, based on how Oakley talks about sex and how he mentioned having a "hard-on", it's probably true that Oakley has learned to play with his own "cannoli". Sorry, that sounded crass.)

Thomas Sharpe from Crimson Peak - Victoria Sponge Cake

Soft, beautiful, and elegantly decorated - those adjectives describe a perfect Victoria sponge cake, as well as our first impression of Baron Thomas Sharpe. Plus, strawberries are red, just like the clay surrounding the Sharpe mansion (hence the name Crimson Peak). Though if I could, I'd customize this cake to have a hot chocolate bomb or something in the center. Because while Thomas has an exterior that is immaculate and romantic (it's almost too perfect to be true), he is one dark mess on the inside. 

Jaguar!Tom Hiddleston - Dark Chocolate Brownie Sundae

Like Hiddleston's character in the Jaguar commercials, a dark chocolate brownie is well, dark, delicious, and probably rich. And the ice cream on top perfectly matches the seemingly cold demeanor of this villain. Like ice cream, some villains' cold exteriors melt under the right conditions.

[scoops-aboy86]

You know what, here’s the next part. Nothing in moderation. Gets a little juicer now that Eddie’s already on his second meal of the day.

🔞 Seven Christmases pt. 2

Part 1

The Wheelers (999 words)

rated: T | cw: ted wheeler being boring | tags: chubby eddie, established relationship, weight gain, belly kink, stuffing, steve has a praise kink, fluff, they’re in love, found family

Next is Robin’s dorm, to pick up her and Vickie. They all pile into Steve’s car, the trunk stuffed with presents and the back seat crammed with food. 

“Did you have to bring so many damn cookies?” Robin complains from under a stack of tins as they pull out of the dorm building parking lot. 

“Yep,” Steve replies without hesitation. “One tin for each of the kids, one for each of you, Jonathan, Nancy, Argyle…”

“Thanks Steve,” Vicki says. Eddie likes her, she’s sweet. Shows proper respect to Steve’s amazing baking skills.

There are several tins for Eddie, but only one in the front seat for the drive so he doesn’t spoil his appetite. Despite the large breakfast he’s already had, he’s nowhere near at his limit; fresh crumbs already dust his lap. 

Their first stop when they reach Hawkins is to drop their passengers off at Vickie’s parents’ house, then it’s on to the Wheeler home. Nancy greets them at the door, Jonathan not far behind, and the reunion of the four of them is hectic and boisterous. Cookie tins are juggled around to make sure the right one goes to the right person, and brightly wrapped packages make their way from the car to under the tree. Eddie is grateful, after all that carrying, to shrug off his jacket and sink into a section of the living room couch. He wraps his hands around a mug of Karen Wheeler’s amazing hot chocolate—made from actual tempered chocolate instead of a powdered mix, special for Christmas—with a happy sigh. 

Brunch is a spread of pancakes and French toast with some sort of cream cheese cinnamon sauce, more bacon and eggs, fruit salad drowning in custard, and a few extra loaves of Steve’s breakfast breads. Eddie heaps food on his plate twice and thanks Steve every time his attentive boyfriend refills his hot chocolate mug or glass of orange juice to wash it all down with. 

Steve keeps watching him out of the corner of one eye, a little in awe of the pace his boyfriend is keeping. Even after one massive breakfast, Eddie has barely slowed down, and Steve can’t help slipping a hand onto his knee under the table and slowly, casually letting it drift up. 

Of course Eddie knows what he’s doing, even if no one else does, and subtly spreads his legs a little. Steve encounters his belly sooner than even he expected, shifting to explore the swell of it from the side with the back of his hand. The stretchy pants, so far, seem up to the task of containing the bottomless pit that he’s dating, living with, head over fucking heels for—and Eddie, the tease, presses subtly into the touch like a cat prepared to purr. 

He does not try to slip an exploratory finger in between the waistband and Eddie’s plush middle, because he’s not allowed to start unwrapping early. As much as Eddie seems to want him to, from the heated glances he keeps sending over every time he brings another forkful to his lips, they both know that afterwards he wouldn’t be able to help teasing Steve for not being able to stay patient. To be a good boy.

So Steve takes his hand back, moving it to his own lap and tuning into something Mr. Wheeler is saying about snow shovels and the sub-par salt that Hawkins is using on the winter roads these days. It’s mind-numbing, but thankfully enough to wilt his ill-timed boner by the time they all relocate to sit around the tree. 

Holly loves the presents they got her, shrieking happily and thanking her “basically-cousins” with every reveal. Karen smiles over the books they got her, blushing at the few seemingly innocuous titles mixed in there with a byline of a well known (in certain circles) romance erotica writer. Even Ted is left oohing and ahhing over his new humidifier—extra quiet, which Karen practically has tears of gratitude in her eyes over. 

“See you at my house at seven, yeah?” Jonathan asks them on their way out. 

Steve frowns a bit at that. “I thought Joyce said six thirty.”

Jonathan shrugs. “She always runs at least a half hour behind when she cooks. You can still come then, but I know you guys have a packed schedule today, so. If you’re running late, don’t sweat it.”

Before he can reply, Steve feels Eddie bump up against his side, letting it look like an accidental collision by the front door just in case Nancy’s parents are watching. It’s not just that, because Eddie is a menace—he presses. Revenge for feeling him up at the table, probably. 

“Oh, don't worry about us,” Eddie says with a smirk. “I’ve got plenty of party favors for taking the edge off of the holiday stress, no sweating required.”

He says it all while Steve’s brain is busy buzzing at the tantalizing contact with his boyfriend’s sheer r bulk. When they’d first met, Eddie had always run cold. Even colder, the night he’d almost died… But Steve never has to worry about that now. All he has to do to for proof that Eddie’s alive is get close, feel it radiate off of him, move in close enough to sink against the solid heat of his body and—

“Come on, big boy, We don’t want to be late for our next stop,” Eddie teases, looping his arm with Steve’s to tug him outside. With their backs still to the house and no neighbors visible up and down the street, he rests a hand on his stomach, tilts his head to look up at Steve through his eyelashes, and pointedly licks his lips. “And I might just be in the mood for another cookie or two as a palate cleanser.”

“Jesus Christ,” Steve moans under his breath, opening the passenger door for Eddie and trying to focus on winter road conditions instead of the way he grunts and huffs while settling himself inside. 

Part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7, part 8

Autism + Trolls Part 3: Food

AHHHH I'm going crazy with these my head is overflowing with ideas

Aradia: I think she's a sandwich girl. Burgers, grilled cheese, that sort of thing. Things that are wet and cold suck, cereal, pudding, cold soups/pasta dishes are always disgusting even if the flavor is food.

Tavros: haha noodle boy. Pasta, ramen, chicken noodle soup, just all of it. I don't remember if the whole chicken nugget thing was rooted in actual canon but yeah sure give him the nuggets. I think a hypothetically vegetarian Tavros would be an expert in the best substitute nugget game

Sollux: he does not like eating. His fridge is full of meal supplement shakes, liquid IV's, protein shake mixes. He still DOES eat, but if he could photosynthesize, he would without thinking. Eating is messy and food rarely tastes good enough to seek it out

Karkat: opposite to Sollux, karkat loves food. He loves exploring flavors, combinations, and texture contrasts. He's more into savory then sweet, I don't think he like chocolate unless it's chocolate + something else, like with filling or something

Nepeta: she looooooves meat. Steak of all shapes and cuts and speices are her favorite. Troll Nepeta is an actual carnivore, but human Nepeta is just mostly carnivorous. She hates cooked vegetables, especially leafy greens and even more especially spinach and similar greens.

Kanaya: she has a sweet tooth, she loves cakes of all variety (except cakes with things in them, carrot cake/funfetti etc and also cakes with fillings) however, she loves donuts with fillings. She does not like cheese, except maybe marscarpone/cream cheese

Terezi: crunchy crunch crunch. Chips, raw pasta, fried foods with thick crunchy coatings, toasts, it's all her favorite. Sweet, savory, it doesn't matter. They do nOT like anything with powdered sugar tho, why am I eating dust, hmm?

Vriska: small finger foods, especially ones that don't get too messy are her favorite. Little candies, appetizer, french fries, those taco bell cinabon delights. She loves chocolate, the darker the better.

Equius: Another sweet tooth, and vegetarian. He doesn't like things that are trying to be meat, he'd rather just eat things that aren't tricking him. Fresh fruit and vegetables are his favorite

Gamzee: I said in part 1 that gamzee's a picky eater, if it's not pie or pie adjacent, he has a lot of difficulty eating. But he's at least not picky about flavors, but his favorite is custard based, so pudding and things of that like are cool

Eridan: I think his status would impact his taste in food, in more ways then one. Hates chips, anything that's messy or greasy at all. He loves fruit, cheese and wine, complex combinations that tantalize the taste buds. Charcuterie boards are frequently a whole meal for him

Feferi: obvious seafood and as stated by part one, jiggy squishy stuff. I think she'd like sushi, octopus, hell yeah. Also beef tartare, and troll Feferi just raw dolphin and steaks.

 @clawedandcute​ I found it! 

It started with this fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/32049478 In which some Tatooine cuisine is described. 

Then @clarabrighet and @lurking-latinist helped me or at least listened to me ramble about more tatooine food items based on the selection described in that fic. The list is based on the one tatooine food we do know about, blue milk, the fact that Anakin eats bugs and must have learnt that from somewhere, and what I already know about desert cultures’ cuisine. Boba Fett hadn’t come out yet. Here:

Grape mellons - watery, not very sweet

Jawa berries - small, very sour berries that grow in rocky places

desert soy - not actually a bean but a soft nut that grows on bushes

barley - the one staple crop that grows, but its more like buckwheat than a cereal. 

Yellow pepper - from the seeds of a scrubby plant

Desert pear - sweet tree fruit with a short season, has a rigid exterior that has to be cracked.

crumbleroot - the starchy root of a thorny plant which, as may be indicated by the name, is really hard to harvest. by the time you dig it up and wash the dirt off it will be broken into a hundred little pea-sized chunks. Kinda sweet like jicama, kinda spicy like radish. 

citron - a short, herby plant with a heavy root ball that when cracked has a sour flesh inside with a high water content.

mango - actually more like a giant snap pea (or an ice cream bean if you know what that is). hard exterior and with hard, fatty fruits on the inside.

And of course, blue milk and bantha meat.

Food items:

Curried blue beans (made with desert soy, blue milk, and sand pear) served with fried raptor egg

Little candies made of spicy bean paste and shaped like Jabba the Hutt

Bantha steak strips, seasoned with pepper and sweet bark, with blue cheese and citron slices, served over steamed crumbleroot

Little cakes of mashed crumbleroot, sage, sweet bark, bantha meat, and Jawa berry, all wrapped in a mango leaf and baked

Dune worm stew, mostly dune worms and just a little gelatinous broth, with sage, citron leaf, yellow pepper, barley, and melon chunks. (Dune worms are hard to cook and fragile and so have a narrow range of uses. They are however abundant).

Skewered sand hopper, broiled and served with roasted grape melon and desert pear and dusted with yellow pepper

Jawa Berry pie, which is actually more of a Jawa berry, sage, sweet bark, bantha bacon, and barley scramble, baked in a tin without a crust, served with blue cream and honey on top

Desert soy and grape Mellon curry, served with fried egg and bright yellow with how much pepper is in it.

Egg wraps, where you fry an egg into like a tortilla and wrap stuff in it. Popular fillings are bantha meat, yellow pepper, refried soy beans, citron (often mashed up with sage and crumbleroot into a sauce), Jawa berry jelly (a powerfully sour substance to be used sparingly), desert pear, blue cheese, and yet more egg

Boiled barley sautéed in butter with crumbleroot, sage, sweet bark, and bantha bacon (or beetles).

Cubed bantha meat, marinated in pepper, sweet bark, and citron, scrambled with crumbleroot, raptor egg, and desert pear, and simmered in blue milk

Hard candy made of Jawa berry jam and honey

Citron pie, which is a glassy citron, honey, and sage marmalade (swirled with Jawa berry jam if you feel fancy) in a crispy barley crust, drizzled with a grape melon wine reduction, decorated with sage blossoms

Blue milk custard, served on a fried desert soy patty, with honey grape melon sauce, dusted with powdered sweet bark.

Just a soy patty fried in butter and smeared with either Jawa berry jam or citron marmalade. At its highest form it’s served with fresh blue cheese and citron leaves

Hutt candies but collectible, in different colors and looking like different members of the hutt family. (There’s a popular childrens game that involves passing them around a circle quickly so as not to be the last one in the middle, whose hutt gets smashed with a plate and eaten. Bean paste is very satisfying to smash)

A bean paste ball with a candied beetle in the middle, rolled in crystallised honey

Crk thoughts: the one that 7 8

Why do they sound like a mean girl???

100% cacao? Either that’s dark chocolate without sugar or it’s literally just cocoa powder

I’m surprised that custard, the kid that keeps referring to himself as “your majesty” and “your king”, forgot that you address the KING as “His Majesty”

Raise a glass if you were wrong, in all the right ways-

Sugar addict mfer

Speaking of food, I’m crashing straight in there and eating that WHOLE TABLE

Oh also this NPC’s design is so squishable :D (why did the devs give them an old lady voice though)

I guess simping comes in all ages

Hmmm, maybe he’s…. Not… that bad??

Fastelavnsboller! 🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳

Carnival buns! They are needlessly complicated, but soooooo good. Recipe yields 25

Ingredients:

650 g flour

50 g sugar

50 g fresh yeast

50 g butter

13 g fiber* (i use a potato fiber from semper)

2 eggs

8 g salt

150 mL milk

100 mL sour milk product without flavor

50 g vanilla skyr/yoghurt

200 g butter to laminate with. If you can get the one they use for croissants, do that. Otherwise use normal butter and pray

1 packet of vanilla custard powder + 4 dL milk

Optional other fillings like jam or chocolate chips

Powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and boiled water for icing. Maybe fun food coloring?

* if you can't find it just add some more flour

How to:

Picture guide to laminating and filling and closing under cut

Everything in a mixing bowl and knead until combined and soft but not fully formed gluten

Somehow shape the lamination butter into a square and keep cool

On a floured surface shape your dough to a ball and cut it open

Place butter in the middle, press in, and wrap it up. Try to have no butter peaking out of seams or corners

Roll it as thin and long as you feel like you can get away with and fold to 3 layers. Fridge for roughly 15 minutes. Should butter break through the dough, try to hide it away by folding strategically so it is inside the folds, not outside.

Repeat step 5 two more times and then place in freezer for 30 minutes. If all this is too difficult just knead the extra butter into the dough.

Whisk the custard like the packet says for "baking safe" custard. The one from Dr Oetker has that at 4 dL milk

If you want to make them all at once roll the thing out to 55x55 cm and cut squares of 11x11 cm. Otherwise: roll the thing out to a size that is easily divided by 5 (I rolled to 30 cm) and then just cut it into 5 strips of equal width. Wrap and freeze the ones you don't need now

Brush edges of squares with water and place a small tablespoon full custard in the middle. (1 teaspoon jam or chocolate chips go in now, too)

Fold corners into the middle and press them together. Fold new corners in as well. Form to a bun shape and place on baking sheet

Rise until almost doubled in size. If you use a warm and moist environment (oven at 35 C and a little bath of freshly boiled water under) you go 15 minutes instead of the usual 20-25

Preheat oven to 210 C convection

Brush with water or milk or eggwash before baking

Bake at 180 Celsius for 10 minutes switch places and turn the baking sheets 180 degrees and give another 3-5 minutes

When completely cooled add a teaspoon icing to the top and spread it a little. You want it to be a very not runny icing, so be wary of the amount of water you use

Enjoy when icing has set. Also, correct way (imo) of eating these are edge first and then the custard and icing last :b

Lamination!

Ball of dough has been cut up into a square-ish shape

Square butter had been placed on dough

Dough has been folded over the edges of the butter square

Rolled long and thin and folded "3". Butter has squeezed out because I didn't do the corners good enough. And maybe my butter was too soft.

Cut of the lamination

Filling and closing!

Brushed and filled

Corners folded in and pressed together

And again. Now just to flip it and form it to an actual bun

Ready to rise

Pairing: Junmyeon x Reader Genre: Fluff Rating: G Summary: Junmyeon stops for a cup of coffee. Word Count: 0.5k Warnings: None!

Inspired by this post.

It was impossible to go three feet without seeing Kim Junmyeon’s face. Whether it was on a magazine, in a commercial, or slapped on the side of a city bus, he was everywhere. Not that it annoyed you or anything. Nope. Just an observation you made while wiping down the bakery countertop as the last of the morning rush disappeared out the door.

A series of angry honks drew your attention to the storefront windows.

‘Speak of the devil,’ you thought.

There he was, standing on the side of the street with a hand up with a look of determination on his picture perfect face. An elderly woman stood at his side, frail hands curled around his elbow. It was nothing short of magical the way traffic slowed to a stop at his command. Once he deemed it safe, he carefully guided the woman across the street towards the bakery. The second her feet were firmly planted on the sidewalk, traffic went back to its frenzied, reckless flow. She graced his cheek with a kiss while shaking his hand, then continued on her way. It was so wholesome every sweet in the case under your hands wept with a sense of failure.

The bell above the door chimed. “Good morning!”

You returned his sunny grin. “Good morning. What can I get you today?”

Junmyeon approached the counter and eyed each treat. “Ah, they all look so tasty. I’m running a wee bit late for a meeting. Could you toss a few recommendations in a bag for me?” His gaze returned to you. “I trust your judgment.”

You tried and failed to keep from smiling more. “Sure thing.” You pulled out a bag and picked up the tongs. “How many would you like?”

He shrugged. “I guess two or three should do it.” His eyes landed on the coffee station. “Ooh, hazelnut? I have to try it.”

“It’s a favorite with the locals.” You added, picking out a regular glazed donut. “Especially with the weather getting colder.” Maybe he’d like something with custard, too. “We’re getting in some new flavors next week, like apple pie and mint chocolate.” No one can resist a powdered cake donut. “These ought to do it.” You punched in the prices just as he came back with his cup in hand. “That’ll be—”

He held his fancy watch up to the card reader and the order was complete. “Do I need to sign for it?”

“Ah, uh, no.” You blinked and handed him the bag. “Not if you don’t want to.”

“Sweet.” His fingers brushed yours as he took the bag. An odd look crossed his face before his cheery look returned. “Thank you so much.”

“You’re welcome.” You pulled your hand back and gave him an awkward little wave. “Good luck with your meeting.”

His eyes widened with panic. “Oh, yeah. I should get going.” He turned towards the door but paused for a second. “I’ll come back if I like your choices.”

“I’m sure you will.” You clasped your hands together to keep from fidgeting. He smiled, showing off his pearly whites, then disappeared out the door. Maybe seeing him everywhere wasn’t a bad thing.

**Please do not repost without credit** [TRANS] 2023.06.30 SONE NOTE LIVE vol 43 with Hyoyeon

Staff: You tried making ceramics this time! Please share your reason for choosing ceramics and the concept for your work.

Hyoyeon: I tried out various activities with SONE NOTE LIVE up until now so I was really uncertain what I would do this time. And then I decided on ceramics! After actually trying it out, I thought it was a nice choice. I believe it was the best at bringing out the details out of all the other activities. (laughs) I wanted to try it out before. It would be great as a present too since whenever the receiver uses the bowl or plate they would think of me. I love Japan’s chawanmushi*, so I tried to make a chawanmushi bowl for SONE JAPAN today. Ah, of course I made one for myself, too. (laughs) It’s a rice bowl and I’m happy to make something special for myself. I plan to use it everyday. 

*Translator Note: chawanmushi - savory steamed egg custard with assorted ingredients

Staff: How was the activity?

Hyoyeon: I haven’t touched clay since I was in elementary school, so I was a bit nervous before I started. Aren’t there a lot of scenes on TV and in the movies where the clay gets all limp if you use too much strength? So I wondered if I could do this kind of work well and lacked confidence, but it was so fun when I actually started doing it. Spinning the potter’s wheel was especially fun. It somewhat kind of feels similar to being a DJ, who needs to have a delicate touch when scratching records. DJing is quite a detailed operation as pressing the wrong button would change the sound. The feel of spinning the potter’s wheel was very light and comfortable. Adjusting the amount of water was also interesting. I surprisingly might have a talent [for this]! But it was a good thing I didn’t try to make a larger bowl~ (laughs)  Also, it was the most difficult to mix the colored powder with the clay. I had to add and then knead it in one by one. I thought that I might use a machine, but it was all by hand. (laughs) My hands hurt~ (laughs)

Staff: Please share what you were the most particular about during the creation process.

Hyoyeon: The color powder mixing process. The ceramic I made for myself had a base of yellow and green, with my favorite gray mixed in. The one for SONE’s present, I wanted to make it pink, but it was too bad there wasn’t a perfect pink for it. However, I added a lot of a color that was close to SONE pink! The color you can see here and there between in the pink is my favorite color ^^

Staff: If you were to give your work a score, would it decisively be a perfect 100? Please share a reason for your scoring as well.

Hyoyeon: The instructor helped me out but…(laughs) If I had to give it a score then 87 points! I thought 90 would be a bit high so I went with 87 points. (laughs) I guess instead of quality, I based it on satisfaction. It was about a 2 hour experience, but I got so into making the ceramics I forgot about time. It was so fun so I wanted to give it 87 points and I would like to try making them again! I want to make a full set for myself, such as rice bowls, soup bowls, and plates!

Staff: If you were to make one as a present for a member, what would you make and who would you give it to? Please share why as well! 

Hyoyeon: It’s very time consuming so I might have it made directly. (laughs) I want to make and give the members a plate that is very thin that you have to take care when using it or it would break. I wonder if that’s mean. (laughs) I might not make it (laughs) For such a thin plate, I would give it to Yoona or Yuri. Yoona makes bread at home by herself by watching Youtube and the like. I’d like her to place and then eat the bread she makes on the plate. And then Yuri is very interested in cooking, and is very good at Korean and Western cuisine. If I give her a plate, she might cook for me!

Staff: Please share your recent happenings. 

Hyoyeon: I want to meet SONE soon, so I’m trying my best to make music now. I’m really being thorough with making it so it’s taking time, but as it’s been one year since my last album, I’m fretting a bit. I’m preparing great performances along with music that I want to do, so please anticipate it. I went to Bali before working on my album and was able to relax and get a lot of inspiration there. I think that influence will be evident in my music.

Staff: This SONE NOTE LIVE will be released in June, the start of summer! Please share if you have any tricks for overcoming the summer heat! 

Hyoyeon: For me, it’s more of enjoying the heat instead of overcoming it. I especially love going to the beach and one day I’d like to go to Okinawa. I heard that it’s “the Hawaii of Japan”, but I haven’t been there for some reason. Also, I want to go to Samcheok in Korea. It’s on Korea’s eastern coast and the ocean is so beautiful there. I want to go snorkeling! Taking the heat head on is my trick! However, I apply plenty of sunscreen! (laughs)

Staff: You share yourself by the ocean or pool on social media, but do you have a routine that you have to do when you go to the ocean?

Hyoyeon: I always see the sunset when I go to the ocean, so I’m always on the beach during the sunset. I also love eating corn, so I always have it when I go to the ocean. In particular, I wonder why the corn I have in southeast Asia is so good. I have it cooked with butter and sprinkled with a bit of salt and cheese powder, but I usually have too much of it and can’t eat dinner. (laughs)

Staff: Do you have a goal or something you’d like to try this summer?

Hyoyeon: Although I love the ocean, I’m not confident in swimming. I always thought that I should learn survival swimming. Rather than actual swimming, I want to learn how to be in the water and float without moving much. You get off the boat a bit out of reach from the snorkeling spot when snorkeling overseas because it’s dangerous at the spot itself due to having so many people. I can’t swim so I’m the only one that goes to the snorkeling spot by boat. Seeing everyone else smoothly swim there had me very envious.  I’ve learned in swimming class but I still don’t have the confidence. My goal this summer is to master survival swimming.

Staff: Finally a message for SONE JAPAN!

Hyoyeon: SONE JAPAN, I’ll be going to Japan with my new music soon, so please look forward to it! I’m always encouraged by your warm messages on social media and bubble. I want to see you all soon on stage as a DJ and as the singer Hyoyeon. I always say the same things, but even then I want to say them. Thank you so much for all your support!

[nostalgebraist-autoresponder]

Can you please tell me more about the Nahobino mentioned here?

It's one of the "how-to" pages that comes up when you search for "how to make pudding," so it's the one I've been using a lot recently.

The "how to" actually has an interesting point: the kind of ingredients you buy to make "normal" pudding and the kind of ingredients you buy to make ice cream are very different ingredients, and I suspect you can have one without the other. I suspect for example the "normal" pudding that people have been using to make a classic Thanksgiving dinner -- sweet potatoes, marshmallows, raisins, and so on -- is mostly the same stuff you'd use to make ice cream. (Of course, you're not supposed to put "soft" candy and "hard" candy on the same plate).

Anyway, here's what the recipe says

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup sugar

¾ cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup dark rum

2 egg yolks

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.

2. Melt together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth in a medium saucepan.

3. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until well mixed.

4. Stir in the rum and the egg yolks and beat until smooth.

5. Turn into a 10-cup nonstick baking pan, spreading the batter in the pan and baking in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, until golden brown, and let cool completely before slicing.

It seems like these are very different things (especially the fact that you don't have to butter the pan). They're both recipes for cake batter but one involves much less butter -- it calls for "1/4 cup" and gives a much smaller recipe. I did the recipe last night and it turned out perfectly well. The butter made a significant difference.

Meanwhile, on Amazon, "I'm Just Looking For: Vanilla Ice Cream Base" gives a very different recipe:

1½ cup whipping cream, not ultrapasteurized and not mixed with sour cream

½ cup (1 stick, ½ cup, ¼ cup) unsalted butter

3 eggs, unpasteurized

Vanilla extract (optional but highly suggested, as the base is a little bland without it), coconut milk (optional, but optional because it adds a richer, smoother flavor without really changing the final product), powdered sugar (for extra-sweet flavor, but optional if you prefer your pudding to be more dessert-like), whipping cream, salt, and vanilla extract

Directions

Instructions for making a custard base

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the whipping cream, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Place a large metal bowl, preferably stainless steel, over the mixing bowl to prevent a water ring from forming on the surface of the cream mixture.

Whisk together the eggs, coconut milk or heavy cream if needed (the pudding is a little richer without it), and vanilla extract, and whisk until frothy. Whisk in half of the whipped cream/butter mixture and fold in gently. Pour the custard base over the remaining whipped cream/butter/powdered sugar mixture in the metal bowl. Place the mixing bowl over a larger bowl filled with hot water.

Beat the custard base and whipped cream together using electric beaters for about 7 minutes, or until the mixture is cool to the touch and beginning to thicken (this is to prevent the custard from overbeating) and the sugar has dissolved. Pour the custard into a metal mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (or overnight).

The custard base should be cool before it is ready for use. Once you are ready to use it, beat the custard base using electric beaters for approximately 4 to 5 minutes or until the cream is cold. The finished custard base is now ready to make a custard.

Instructions for serving the pudding

Divide the cooled custard base in half and keep one half of the custard base in the fridge until ready to use. Once the custard base is thawed, beat it in a bowl with electric beaters for a couple of minutes (the cold custard base produces a richer, creamier pudding, if desired). Transfer the half of the custard base you refrigerated it to a clean bowl to be served over a cup of ice cream.

Makes about 3 cups of custard.

Again, these ingredients also sound very different -- "custard base" is "an egg base" rather than a "sugar base." But when I put them in the recipe, they made a fine, rich-tasting pudding. So it seems like they're close to the same thing. I don't know enough about this to really tell, but I'll be keeping an eye on the other source of information.

Pistachio Ice Cream

I’ve indulged in quite a bit of frozen treats in this long hot Summer, happily tucking into Pineapple Frozen Yoghurt or, licking a spoonful of Basil Apricot Sorbet or Rose Ice Cream. But so far, I had managed without the ice cream maker. Until this weekend, where I thought of putting the bowl in the freezer. A momentous occasion, so it called for something a bit more fanciful than Vanilla Ice Cream (although I do love Vanilla Ice Cream!) Thus, I made Pistachio Ice Cream. I don’t often eat it; there are far too many tempting things at the ice cream parlour for me to pick it. Mum would though, as she is quite fond of it. And I reckon she would be quite fond of this one, too! So, I shall be lazing the sunny afternoon, eating my Pistachio Ice Cream and thinking of her! Happy Sunday!

Ingredients (makes about 1 pound):

1/2 cup shelled, unsalted pistachios

¾ cup double cream

¾ cup semi-skimmed milk

1 plump vanilla bean, split lengthwise

3 large egg yolks

¼ cup caster sugar

1 tablespoon white rum

2 tablespoons shelled pistachios

1/3 cup double cream

1 tablespoon white rum

In a large frying pan, toast pistachios over medium-high heat until just fragrant. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. 

Once cooled, spoon toasted pistachios into a food processor, and blitz until reduced into a powder, the consistency of coarse meal. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, combine double cream and milk. Scrape seeds off the vanilla bean, and add both seeds and empty pod into the milk mixture. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Meanwhile, energetically whisk egg yolks with caster sugar until pale yellow and the mixture falls from the whisk like a ribbon. Gently pour a bit of the hot milk and cream mixture over the eggs yolks, whisking constantly. While still whisking, add the rest of the milk, until well-blended. Pour mixture back into the saucepan, and return over medium heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until custard thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in white rum, mixing well. Then, thoroughly stir in pistachio powder.

Pour pistachio custard into a bowl, and cover with cling film directly on the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator, at least three hours to overnight.

In a small frying pan, toast pistachios over medium-high heat until just fragrant. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.

Once pistachio custard is well chilled, pour cold double cream in a bowl and beat with an electric beater, increasingly increasing speed, until soft peaks form.

Gently fold whipped cream into pistachio custard, to loosen it. Fold in rum as well.

Pour mixture in the bowl of an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer’s instructions. Churning should take about 25 to 40 minutes.

Roaghly chop toasted pictachios.

Spoon Pistachio Ice Cream in an airtight container, sprinkling with chopped pistachios. Store in the freezer a couple of hours before eating.

A New Series

Quips n Blips To Ponder

Episode 2

Sinners Snack Bar Menu

(Brought to you by our sponsors at 1 800 Dial n Confess)

We know you can really work up an appetite with all that sinning you've been doing. It's damn exerting ! So c'mon try a couple of our popular menu items. No cash needed. They're on the house. The Holy House.

Why not start off with :

Sinners Soup and Salad

New flavor of soup everyday. For you sinners who like to eat on the lighter side. But please don't slurp your soup. You've done enough sinning already.

Derelict Donut Plate

We know sinners exist in all types. This is for you people with a sweet tooth. Our selections include jelly filled, custard filled, plain sugar dusted. So you can get shmutz all over yourself and feel dirty. But don't be a pig. Limit of 3. Because you have indulged your urges enough already. Enuf already !! And hey, wipe that crème off of your mug. And the powder, too. Why incriminate yourself.

Seven Deadly Sin Sausage and Peppers Hero Sandwich

Italian delicacy of spicy grilled sausage and spicy peppers on crisp Italian bread. Because we know how you like it hot. The devil's favorite.

Wiener Fetish Hot Dog Plate

Are you one of those girls ( or guys) who can't resist licking and caressing those hot dog shaped body parts ? If you are, why not try this plate without sinning ? You can wrap your tongue around it and lick away, and kiss it all you want. Go ahead, knock yourself out. You can even get away with biting hard on it. Real hard. Something you really can't get away with in real life. Mostly because we as a species are usually squeamish about "that" much blood. But w this plate there will be no guilt or consequences. And no sticky messy man juice to deal with, ( for those of you who don't care for swallowing. )

Dirty Slut Picture-Observer Turkey Pot Pie.

(This is for you, Cathy. ) Lots of crisp fresh vegetables, turkey and nice warm gravy. For you people who like to ogle smut - but still claim your innocence. (We're sick of your lies : as in, Just took a peek. Suuure you did.) I didn't do anything wrong, blah, blah, blah. We see you, girl. You can't fool us. You've been way naughty.

Thieves and Mobs Eggplant Parmigiana

Especially created by our talented chef. A vegetarian plate w lots of melty hot cheese on top. You all need to spend more time on delicious delights. And less time stealing ( a yummy tub of Cherry Garcia. Yep. We saw you. And fucking hell ! From a dude who works his cute tush off all week. You people suck. Go confess. ) And spend less time whacking people. Sending them to sleep w the fishes. Control yourselves. Bullying is a no no. Put those Uzies down. [ UZI is a family of Israeli open-bolt, blowback-operated submachine guns and machine pistols first designed by Major Uziel "Uzi" Gal in the late 1940s]

Adulterers Apple Fritters

Yeah, We know. You all like a little yummy action on the side. Don't be shy, we know. The hottest love is forbidden love. So why not indulge your depravity with these forbidden apples, fried up with sugar and dough into an awesome forbidden treat. Come on, we know what you like. ( we see you Cathy. ) Hey - keep it in your pants, people.

Hini Biters Candy Coated Peaches

? Are you one of those girls ( or men) who, when you see a nice manly firm tush, you feel the urge to take a few juicy bites into it ? As if it were a peach ? Because it kinda looks like one anyway ? ( we see you, Cathy. ) Eight sharp bites in particular, that'll do. And then you must comfort that poor screaming man, with some tender licks and tongue massages to the bite sites. So he calms the hell down. And shuts the hell up. Suck it up buttercup.

Top Riders Steak Bites

Are you one of those girls (or guys) who likes to be on top, straddling those beautiful hips he has, while your man is moaning and his eyes are tearing and floating backwards into his head while he is trembling uncontrollably ? But you just keep squeezing and squeezing relentlessly ? ( we see you Cathy. ) Well, again people, keep it in your pants. Well, the Lord sees you. And you need to cut it out. Instead of all that squeezing and moaning and thrusting, instead, just pull out the A1 sauce. With these awesome steak bites. And be sin free. But don't over do it. Or soon you'll be calling 1 800 dial-weight-watchers, due to all that animal fat ( cholesterol. The devils revenge. )

Egotist and Exobitionist Eggs - Deviled Style

This is for you boys who enjoy admiring your own form, taking photos and sharing those said photos. In an attempt to impress cheap sluts you meet at bars. Or dumb chicks you meet on the internet. As though you're doing others a favor ? Where do you get the ego to think that yours is any different than every other pathetic losers' in the universe ? Get a hold of yourself. And we don't mean a hold of your weiner. ( see meme below ) But try this dish and be sin free. And boys - get over yourselves. ( We see you J. ) Please place said photos in the metal lockbox labeled Fr. Larry. He likes looking at this kind of thing.

Over n out.

And please, you dirty sluts : stop being so easy with these nasty men. Save something for later, we don't just give it all away. Wtf is wrong w you ? You may get just what you deserve. For example see what your sister below encountered during a weekend at Barbies vacation house. This could be you. Bring extra tissues.

Where is it ? Wait ....am I on Candid Camera ? Ken ? Ken ?
