#throw the rice pilaf

"Oh, I make my own! Phosphesant goes great with a cherry-apple pairing for jellies, but it's better to use the dried fruit straight. Personally, though? I do a sage and roast onion stuffing over anything else. It blends the flavors, adds good texture, and if you throw in a bed of rice pilaf? You'll almost never wanna eat anything else ever again."

instant pot rice pilaf sorta?

So this is one of my comfort-food recipes which I'm not sure I've related here before, but by request I'm writing it down properly with quantities and such.

This is, for me, an Instant Pot recipe, but you can adapt it for stovetop pretty easily. If you do it on the stovetop you can make it more risotto-like by stirring it a lot and such. Consult a decent risotto recipe and adapt.

You can use any kind of root vegetable, pretty much any kind of meat you like, and either white or brown rice for this. Use whatever stock you have. The leafy greens are optional.

Dice an onion. Melt fat (oil, butter, lard, bacon grease, like 2-3 Tbsp) in your Instant Pot on the "saute" setting (I do mine on Normal, but there's a lot of variation in individual pots how intense that is. You want it to lightly sizzle but not burn) and dump your onion in until it's as done as you like. (I want it to be clear, maybe just browning a little at the edges here and there, but you can go browner if you want.) 1a) IF YOU WANT TO USE MEAT you can do that. If I'm using lamb shanks, I will brown them first before adding the onion. If I'm using ground meat I will cook it after I've started softening the onion. You could throw in cooked leftover meat too, or if it's in your stock that's fine. Really this dish does fine without, but it's also a great way to stretch a small amount of meat to be a whole meal for several people. A lamb shank, a pork chop, a ham hock, some short ribs, a chicken leg-- some skimpy cut with a bone is ideal for this, but you can also use bulk sausage or ground meat or chicken breast or whatever you want, just adjust cooking times.

Dice carrots or beets while this is happening (or both). I'm a bit inspired by Central Asian plov, which is traditionally made with finely-julienned yellow carrots and like a whole lot of them, but I love beets in this. Set your diced root vegetables aside for right now. I'm going to say you want like, a cup or so of diced vegetable.

Put in your rice, stirring it around until it's all coated in the melted fat. I'm going to say to use 2c of rice. Let it cook for a couple of minutes.

Optional: throw in about 1/4 cup of white wine to kind of deglaze the pan, scrub up your rice in case it stuck at all (you need it not to stick or your pot will give a "burn" notice and not finish). Do this quickly, don't let it sit too long.

Throw in your root vegetables.

Add stock. I use Trash Stock, which I make in the pressure cooker out of all my leftover bones and vegetable scraps. You could use salted water, you could use canned broth, you could use whatever you like to cook rice in or whatever you make soup with. Follow the guidelines from your Instant Pot-- both white and brown rice are recommended as 1:1-- but I would be generous with the liquid, this always turns out a little dry for me because I think the root vegetables absorb water. I made this just now with 2c brown rice and a scant 3c stock and it was not watery at all. If you're using stock that is not adequately salted you'll want to throw some additional salt in. I also season with thyme, as that's the primary herb in plov, but you can really put in whatever herbs you like with whatever root vegetable you picked. I once made an incredibly intensely rosemaryed risotto that was actually pretty incredible. Use what you have.

Cook according to your Instant Pot's guidelines for the type of rice you're using, but on the longer side. I used brown rice, which IP said was "20-22 minutes" so I did it at 22 minutes on high pressure. White rice is only like, I forget, 3-5 minutes? Do it for the longer end, because you want those beets/carrots done through. (If you're using meat, then cook it however long the meat needs, if it's longer than what the rice needs. If I'm doing lamb shanks or something bone-in, then I use water instead of broth because the bones will make it be broth, I am more generous with the water, and I let it cook 25 minutes at least regardless of the rice. Shanks are fantastic because they're so tough otherwise, but have so much collagen they give a really velvety finish.)

When the pressure cook cycle is over, release pressure on the pot, and then dice up some leafy green-- spinach is great, mustard greens are great, I used some of the greens from my beets because I had them-- and I only used a scant cup, maybe even less, but if you have good spinach this is a great way to cram a ton of it into something-- and throw your leafy green in, stir it well, and then stick the lid back on. (if you've got shanks or some other bone-on meat, you'll need to take those out, pull all the meat off, throw it back in, discard your bones or better still put them in your freezer bag for later trash stock-- stir the meat back in along with your leafy greens, and put it on keep warm if it's had too long to cool off.)

Cut a few chunks of a lovely soft cheese, I recommend chevre. Once the leafy greens have wilted (really stirring them in should be plenty, or a minute or two with the lid on and the residual heat from the Pot), then dish your plov into bowls and top with crumbles of cheese. (For a more risotto-like variant, stir in a pat of butter at the end and top with Parmesan or similar. It's gonna depend on your flavor profile.)

sorry if this is real wordy, I really have tried to make it be Concrete Amounts but it's more a technique than a recipe, I always cook in story-frameworks like this because I just can't follow directions anymore, LOL.

Making a brown rice pilaf with roasted vegetables and chorizo.

The chorizo is of course optional, so leave out if you want to make it vegan.

-cook your brown rice

-cook some puy lentils

-roast some veggies (I used bell peppers and mushrooms) with oregano, lemon juice and chilli flakes

-sauté some crushed garlic, finely diced onion, carrot, leek and fresh parsley

-throw in some spinach and allow to wilt

-mix all of the above together.

Top with a fried egg if you like. Enjoy!

Hale the Kale...

...cheers for the chard...a must do for the mustard greens - all worthy to add to your dinner side dish rotation. To cook any of these, I slice up an onion caramelizing it in olive oil. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder tossing well. Throw in your greens preference, tossing again, and serve up with a slice of roast pork, hot rice pilaf, and chilled tart apple slices for dessert. The mustard greens are excellent with the onions, seasonings, then throw in a can of black eyed peas - great vegan meal. These are easy to fix, looks like you put some effort into it and is part of my healthy eating plan.

When I'm not quickly putting together a healthy meal for my family, I'm sewing cotton pocket aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads .

Or, I'm putting the finishing touches on hand knit hats and scarves worked by me from upcycled recycled yarns for my other online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .

My daughter's have an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew cotton pocket knickers very suitable for leisure or cosplay or whatever you get up to.

My older daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen - where she knits upcycled recycled yarns into cozy thick afghans and throws - just the thing to curl up into on a cold winter's eve.

During my short short time in college I had a meal plan that was included in my tuition. In order to get this meal I had to eat in a cafeteria that was usually fairly crowded because they were only open for a few hours for breakfast+lunch and then dinner. Anxiety ran my entire life at this point so the thought of eating in an open area with all of those people made me sick and I skipped a few of those meals. But like, I took out a loan and paid for it. So I couldn't just throw that away when I was in debt and totally poverted otherwise. I decided to get my tuition's worth so as to not waste any of the meal tickets that I paid for with my tuition.

I think this particular meal was dinner but I don't really remember. Dinner was the best one because they had this really nice tilapia and rice pilaf that I liked a lot. I wanted to minimize the psychological toll so I planned out the route through the place ahead of time and went through it exactly. They also served chocolate milk from a tap which I liked a lot but in my rush this was where tragedy struck: I turned with the glass too quickly without looking and swiped my hand against the counter, dropping it on the floor. It broke with a splendid sound and the entire place went quiet.

I heard someone say something from across the room and a girl from the kitchen came running towards me. In my panic (and because I'm a polite person) I started picking up the glass pieces in a hurry. The girl is next to me now with a towel and doing the same. She said something to me but I couldn't hear her with my adrenaline fueled frenzy. Ow! What was that?? Oh I'm bleeding. There's blood. I'm bleeding and there's blood now. "It's okay! Leave the glass to me, we don't want you to get hurt." is what she said, I suddenly realized. The man who said something across the room is here now and he's gently guiding me by the shoulder to the bathroom. He put a bandaid on the cut on my finger and reassured me again that everything is fine and that I should be more careful with broken glass. And then he left. I went back to my table sans chocolate milk and ate my food. I cried on the way back to my room after that. I remember feeling so miserable.

Tonight's delight: the best meal I've managed to throw together in quite a while! Vaguely pseudo-Greek style.

And all for myself, since Mr. C took off to see some friends this weekend. Especially with the post-viral BS, I haven't been great at turning out anything but pretty low spoons options for a while, and food is always way harder when I am the only one around needing it. But, I really needed some half-decent Real Food with vegetables and all, and made sure I got some. With plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. 😊

To go with the tomatoey green beans I was craving? (A smaller batch, made with frozen green beans without the potatoes.) I decided to go with some "oat rice" that I hadn't tried yet, and a little pork tenderloin out of the freezer with a quick marinade.

That's just simple pilaf style, sauteed with some onion and garlic then cooked in some veggie bouillon. I was interested in trying that more because I just like oats and some type of variety in my diet, but the "extra nutritious and environmently friendly" part is also a bonus!

Next time, I think I will use a little less liquid, but the oats turned out delicious. Reminds me of a fairly chewy cross between barley and brown rice, and I bet those would make a great GF barley substitute in soups, etc.

The tenderloin just spent a while marinating in a baggie with some chopped garlic, bottled lemon juice and dried oregano (plus some salt and pepper). One of my favorite fallback options for basically any kind of meat, really. A quick pan sear and you're set! I managed not to overcook it this time, and it turned out super tender and juicy. 😋

Everybody here has such awesome executive function that I had started trying to cook before I remembered that we were totally out of olive oil. So, I had to use sunflower for everything instead. Not the same flavor, but thankfully everything tasted great to me anyway!

Oh yes, we should also get more of this excellent totally-not-feta type cheese, since it's just a few little chunks floating around in the big can of brine now. Yay, local Turkish-run supermarket! 😁

Great finishing touch, crumbled on top of the green beans. Glad I finally remembered to pull it out of the fridge.

“I’m hungry *right now*; I’m just going to make a rice pilaf for myself.”

….

“I could throw in some andouille while I’m cooking the onions and give ‘em a good sear at the same time.”

…

“Okay, you know what? Screw it. I’m making a roux.”

*roommates get home*

“Hey guys I escalated myself into making Dirty Rice if you want some.”

This easy, one-pot dish is for cauliflower, slowly cooked with potatoes in a rich tomato sauce infused with spices. In Greek, this type of dish is called Kapamas (from the word Kapaki=lid, i.e. slowly cooked in a pot with a lid) and traditionally it is prepared either with meat, chicken or with Cauliflower as I show you today.   This recipe showcases how Greek cuisine takes the simplest ingredients and, with literally no effort, transforms them into a finger licking dish! I am certain you will enjoy this classic low cost, vegan and fasting dish.

INGREDIENTS: • About 1 kg / 2.25 lb fresh Cauliflower • 2 large Potatoes, about 500 gr / 1 lb 2 oz, suitable for boiling • 2 medium Onions, finely chopped • 400 gr / 14 oz chopped Tomatoes, canned (concassé) • 1.5 tbsp. / 22 ml Tomato puree (paste) • 2 Bay leaves • 1/4 cup / 50 gr / 1.75 oz Raisins (sultanas) • 1 tsp. All-Spice (bahari) • 1 Cinnamon stick • 1 tbsp. / 15 ml white wine Vinegar • A pinch of Sugar • 1/2 cup / 120 ml Olive Oil • 500 ml / 2 cups boiling Water • Ground Salt and Pepper • Optional: 1/3 tsp. Chili flakes

METHOD: A. Prepare the vegetables: 1. Wash and then cut the Cauliflower vertically, first in quarters and then in slices, like small flowers with their stems. Place them in a large, deep bowl.

  2. Peel the potatoes, wash and cut them in cubes. Place them in the same bowl with cauliflower. Reserve.

B. Cooking instructions: 3. Pour 3/4th of the Olive oil in a large, wide pot over high heat. 4. When oil heats up, throw the chopped onions in the pot and sauté them for 2' or until they turn translucent, stirring regularly. 5. Reduce heat and add the tomato puree, scraping the bottom of the pot to release its aromas. Stir to blend it in.

6. Now place the Cauliflower and potatoes mix in the pot. 7. Pour the chopped tomatoes on top and blend them in. 8. To begin the cooking process, pour the hot water in the pot. 9. Season with ground salt and pepper, to taste. 10. Add next the raisins, vinegar, sugar and the all-spice. 11. Dip the bay leaves and the cinnamon stick in the sauce.

12. Place the lid on top of the pot and reduce heat to very low. Your Cauliflower dish is now ready to be cooked. 13. Let Kapama simmer in the sauce for about 45' or until potatoes are fork tender. 14. Midway through cooking, open the lid and add the chili flakes, if using. 15. The last 10' into cooking, remove the lid.

16. Check with a fork if cauliflower and potatoes are done. It should pierce through without a problem. 17. Turn off the heat and let Kapama sit for 10' to rest and set. That was easy!

C. Serving suggestions: 18. Serve Cauliflower Kapama while still hot, drizzling a spoonful of the remaining Olive oil on top of each plate.

Serve it as main course with green olives and plenty of homemade whole meal bread to dip in the spicy sauce.

This dish could be accompanied with Greek Yoghurt or several dips like: Tzatziki, Hummus or Tahini sauce. Also, in non-fasting periods it could be served as side dish with Pilaf rice, homemade white bread and/or Greek baked Biftekia (minced meat patties).

The slow cooking ensures that all the delicious scents of the tomato, onions and spices are infused inside the cauliflower, removing its unpleasant odor.

  A classic Greek, mouth watering dish now at your table!

  Enjoy dear friends.

D. Storage info: After it cools down, leftovers from Cauliflower Kapama can be stored in an airtight container, in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

E. Info about Cauliflower: Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable of the cabbage family. In the Middle Ages, early forms of cauliflower were associated with the island of Cyprus from where it moved to other areas like Syria, Turkey, Egypt, Italy, Spain and northwestern Europe. This association continued into Western Europe, where cauliflowers were sometimes known as Cyprus colewart, and there was extensive trade in western Europe in cauliflower seeds from Cyprus, under the French Lusignan rulers of the island, until well into the sixteenth century. It is interesting to note that cauliflower after its origin in Cyprus, became established around Mediterranean, particularly in Italy.

Health benefits: Cauliflower is a vegetable that is naturally high in fiber and B-vitamins. It provides antioxidants and phytonutrients that can protect against cancer. It also contains fiber to enhance weight loss and digestion, choline that is essential for learning and memory, and many other important nutrients. In Greece cauliflower is grown in the winter season mainly in the regions of Evia, Attica, Corfu, Messinia and Arcadia and of course in Cyprus! With excerpts from Wikipedia and medianewstoday.com

ΜΑΓΕΙΡΕΜΑ ♨  ΒΑΘΜ. ΔΥΣΚΟΛΙΑΣ 👩‍🍳⃒    45 min.                     Εύκολο

Αυτό το εύκολο πιάτο μιας κατσαρόλας είναι για κουνουπίδι μαγειρεμένο αργά με πατάτες σε πλούσια σάλτσα ντομάτα εμπλουτισμένη με μπαχαρικά. Στα Ελληνικά, αυτό το είδος πιάτου το λέμε Καπαμά (από τη λέξη Καπάκι ή καπακώνω επειδή μαγειρεύεται αργά σε κατσαρόλα με καπάκι) και παραδοσιακά παρασκευάζεται είτε με κρέας, είτε με κοτόπουλο ή με κουνουπίδι όπως σας δείχνω σήμερα.   Αυτή η συνταγή αποδεικνύει πώς η Ελληνική κουζίνα παίρνει τα πιο απλά υλικά και, κυριολεκτικά χωρίς κόπο, τα μετατρέπει σε ένα λαχταριστό φαγάκι που γλείφετε τα δάχτυλα σας! Είμαι σίγουρη ότι θα απολαύσετε αυτό το κλασικό, χαμηλού κόστους, Βίγκαν και νηστίσιμο πιάτο.

ΥΛΙΚΑ: • Περίπου 1 κιλό / 2,25 lb φρέσκο Κουνουπίδι • 2 μεγάλες Πατάτες, περίπου 500 γρ / 1 lb 2 oz, κατάλληλες για βράσιμο • 2 μέτρια ξερά Κρεμμύδια, ψιλοκομμένα • 400 γρ / 14 oz ψιλοκομμένες Ντομάτες, κονσέρβας (κονκασέ) • 1,5 κ.σ. / 22 ml Ντοματοπελτές • 2 φύλλα Δάφνης • 1/4 φλ. / 50 γρ / 1,75 oz Σταφίδες Κορινθιακές (σουλτανίνα) • 1 κ.γ. Μπαχάρι • 1 ξύλο Κανέλας • 1 κ.σ. / 15 ml Ξύδι από λευκό κρασί • Μια πρέζα Ζάχαρη • 1/2 φλ. / 120 ml Ελαιόλαδο • 500 ml / 2 φλιτζάνια βραστό Νερό • Φρεσκοαλεσμένο αλάτι και πιπέρι • Προαιρετικά: 1/3 κ.γ. Μπούκοβο

ΜΕΘΟΔΟΣ: Α. Ετοιμάστε τα λαχανικά: 1. Πλύντε και μετά κόψτε κάθετα το κουνουπίδι, πρώτα σε τέταρτα και μετά σε φέτες, σαν μπουκετάκια με τα κοτσάνια τους. Τοποθετήστε τα σε ένα μεγάλο, βαθύ μπολ.

2. Ξεφλουδίστε τις πατάτες, πλύντε τις και κόψτε τις σε κύβους. Βάλτε τους στο ίδιο μπολ με το κουνουπίδι. Βάλτε στην άκρη.

Β. Οδηγίες μαγειρέματος: 3. Ρίξτε τα 3/4 του ελαιόλαδου σε μια μεγάλη, πλασοτέ κατσαρόλα πάνω από δυνατή φωτιά. 4. Μόλις ζεσταθεί το λάδι, ρίξτε στην κατσαρόλα τα ψιλοκομμένα κρεμμύδια και σοτάρετε τα για 2' ή μέχρι να γίνουν διάφανα, ανακατεύοντας τακτικά. 5. Χαμηλώστε τη φωτιά και προσθέστε τον ντοματοπελτέ, ξύνοντας τον πάτο της κατσαρόλας για να απελευθερωθούν τα αρώματά του. Ανακατέψτε να ενσωματωθεί.

6. Τώρα βάλτε στη κατσαρόλα το μείγμα από κουνουπίδι και πατάτες. 7. Ρίξτε από πάνω τις ψιλοκομμένες ντομάτες και ανακατέψτε. 8. Για να ξεκινήσετε τη διαδικασία του μαγειρέματος, χύστε το ζεστό νερό μέσα στην κατσαρόλα. 9. Αλατοπιπερώστε, κατά βούληση. 10. Προσθέστε στη συνέχεια τις σταφίδες, το ξύδι, τη ζάχαρη και το μπαχάρι. 11. Βουτήξτε στη σάλτσα τα φύλλα δάφνης και το ξυλάκι κανέλας.

12. Τοποθετήστε το καπάκι πάνω από την κατσαρόλα και ρυθμίστε τη φωτιά στο πολύ χαμηλό. Το φαγητό σας είναι τώρα έτοιμο για μαγείρεμα. 13. Αφήστε το Καπαμά να σιγοβράσει στη σάλτσα για περίπου 45' ή μέχρι να μαλακώσουν οι πατάτες. 14. Στα μέσα του μαγειρέματος, ανοίξτε το καπάκι και προσθέστε το μπούκοβο, εάν χρησιμοποιείτε. 15. Στα τελευταία 10' μαγειρέματος, αφαιρέστε το καπάκι.

16. Ελέγξτε με ένα πιρούνι αν είναι έτοιμα το κουνουπίδι και οι πατάτες. Θα πρέπει να τρυπιούνται χωρίς πρόβλημα. 17. Σβήστε τη φωτιά και αφήστε τον Καπαμά να σταθεί για 10' να ξεκουραστεί και να δέσει. Μα δεν ήταν εύκολο?!

Γ. Προτάσεις σερβιρίσματος: 18. Σερβίρετε το Κουνουπίδι Καπαμά όσο είναι ακόμα ζεστό, περιχύνοντας μια κουταλιά από το υπόλοιπο ελαιόλαδο πάνω από κάθε πιάτο.

Το σερβίρετε ως κυρίως πιάτο με πράσινες ελιές και άφθονο σπιτικό ψωμί ολικής αλέσεως για να βουτήξετε στην πικάντικη σάλτσα.

Αυτό το πιάτο θα μπορούσε να συνοδευτεί με γιαούρτι ή άλλα ντιπ όπως: Τζατζίκι, Χούμους ή Ταχινοσαλάτα. Επίσης σε μη νηστίσιμες περιόδους θα μπορούσε να σερβιριστεί σαν συνοδευτικό με πιλάφι, σπιτικό άσπρο ψωμί ή/και ψητά Μπιφτέκια.

Το αργό μαγείρεμα διασφαλίζει ότι όλα τα υπέροχα αρώματα της ντομάτας, των κρεμμυδιών και των μπαχαρικών εμποτίζονται μέσα στο κουνουπίδι, αφαιρώντας την δυσάρεστη οσμή του.

Ένα κλασικό Ελληνικό, λαχταριστό πιάτο τώρα στο τραπέζι σας! Απολαύστε το αγαπητοί μου φίλοι.

Δ. Πληροφορίες φύλαξης: Αφού κρυώσει, τυχόν υπολείμματα από Κουνουπίδι Καπαμά μπορούν να διατηρηθούν σε αεροστεγές δοχείο, στο ψυγείο έως και μια εβδομάδα ή στην κατάψυξη για έως και 1 μήνα.

Ε. Πληροφορίες για το κουνουπίδι: Το κουνουπίδι είναι ένα σταυρόφυτο λαχανικό της οικογένειας του λάχανου. Κατά τον Μεσαίωνα, οι πρώιμες μορφές κουνουπιδιού συνδέονταν με το νησί της Κύπρου από όπου μεταφέρθηκε σε άλλες περιοχές όπως η Συρία, η Τουρκία, η Αίγυπτος, η Ιταλία, η Ισπανία και η βορειοδυτική Ευρώπη. Αυτό συνεχίστηκε στη Δυτική Ευρώπη, όπου τα κουνουπίδια ήταν μερικές φορές γνωστά ως κυπριακά λαχανάκια και υπήρχε εκτεταμένο εμπόριο στη Δυτική Ευρώπη με σπόρους κουνουπιδιού από την Κύπρο κάτω από τους Γάλλους ηγέτες του νησιού Lusignan, μέχρι και τον 16ο αιώνα. Είναι ενδιαφέρον να σημειωθεί ότι το κουνουπίδι μετά την προέλευσή του στην Κύπρο, έγινε πολύ δημοφιλές γύρω στη Μεσόγειο, και ιδιαίτερα στην Ιταλία.

i'm hungry. my stomach is growling. i was home sick for the last three days. i ate something gross on wednesday because wanted it. it was satisfying. i haven't eaten much since. today is management appreciation day, and there's going to be pizza. i want to go be part of the team but i don't want to eat, but i don't want to draw attention to the fact that i'm not eating.

my refrigerator is full of food. i'm bringing some to my mom and my sister tomorrow because it breaks my heart to waste it. i threw out a huge container of butternut squash ravioli, and a very large caprese salad. just couldn't take more than a few bites. i have a big container of rice pilaf in the refrigerator. can i freeze that? i made some chickpea fritters that i ended up throwing in the refrigerator. i also made a batch of tunisian chicken and vegetable soup last night. had a few bites of that. i think i'll be able to eat that tonight.

i'm cooking a lot, interacting with and handling food. it smells good, the flavors come together nicely. but the idea of filling my stomach makes me sick.

Grumble. Always missing that one ingredient that *makes* a dish. Tonight it is dried cranberries. I had a bag, but gave them to the in-laws when they left since I know MIL likes to snack on them and they had a two day drive ahead.

I have raisins, but I don't think that will do here - the dish calls for tartness. I do have a can of whole berry cranberry sauce... if all else fails, maybe I can mix a little into the dish to satisfy my "must have cranberry" fixation. But perhaps the balsamic vinegar will give enough tang.

#i'm just flying by the seat of my pants for this dish #wild rice blend and roasted butternut squash/onions/garlic #probably throw some toasted nuts in there too #guess we'll call this a pilaf? #food mention #dinner tonight

Warnings: strong language, sexual themes, oral sex, penetrative sex, nipple play, nipple piercings, scars/stitches, fingering

Summary: Juniper is fully healed and ready to get back to one of their favorite hobbies!

Feedback appreciated. 18+. This is a smut heavy chapter

“What are we having tonight, love?” Heisenberg asked, sitting back in the wooden chair. He had returned from working to find her over the stove, a simmering pot filling the apartment with a delicate fragrance.

“Pilaf.” She answered sweetly.

“Ah…alright.” Heisenberg nodded, her answer not making anything more clear to him.

He cut open a cigar, lighting it and bringing it to his lips as he watched her.

She pulled two deep plates out of the cabinet, looking towards him, “Get anything exciting made today?”

He made a prideful rumble, speaking through the cigar, “Mhm. The Soldat Zwei is almost finished. Give the bastard one, maybe two, good days of work and he should be up.”

“They are the ones with two drills right?”

“Correct. Moved the reactor core to the back as well.”

“When are you starting the….the Pan..pan?” She couldn’t find the words, placing a glass of water and silverware on the table.

“The Panzer?”

“Yea that one! They looked big.”

“Oh, sweetheart, it will be.” He gave a devilish smile, “Gotta wait till I get a bastard built like a shit brick house for that one.”

“Like Sturm?” She scooped food into the deep plates.

“Unfortunately…yes.” He frowned, that creature still brought him nothing but grief.

Juniper placed a plate before him, before taking a seat with her own.

Fuck me…what is this?

Heisenberg gulped looking at the meal. It was a pile of rice with chicken, carrots, mushrooms and herbs mixed in. It smelled normal and appetizing but left much to be desired to the eyes.

Juniper took a bite, looking at him through narrow eyes.

“Love, did you make bread as well?” He asked hopefully.

“No, there’s rice in here.” She pointed her fork at him, “And vegetables. Eat it.”

He made a little grumble, tucking into his food. It tasted good, the rice made with the broth from the chicken and the herbs giving it a homely taste.

…Thank god.

Heisenberg thought, mercifully, as he started eating with more gusto. Juniper loved to cook, and loved seeing him eat what she made even more. But her passion for the craft was almost matched with her desire to strive to make each meal healthy. Even if it meant throwing in things that tasted like death to pack more nutrients into every meal.

Heisenberg didn’t know if it was her trying to curb his lack of anything healthy or some Devine  force punishing him for his terrible daily diet for decades. In any case, it was a small price to pay for her happiness.

He finished his plate, even going back for a second. On the way back to his seat he paused, giving Juniper a soft pat on top of her head with his free hand. She beamed up at him.

They spoke more of his upcoming Soldat plans over dinner. Heisenberg explained how the Panzers should be immune to most types of damage, save for heavier explosions. They would be risky to produce and time consuming but a good last line of defense.

“Will all the armor put stress on the core?” Juniper asked.

He nodded, “I’ll have to use the bigger exhaust port like on Sturm but take in the energy production per energy draw to the multiple drills.”

“So they don’t overheat?”

“Precisely. I don’t want them spitting fire like the big boy.” Heisenberg pointed out.

After Juniper cleaned up the mess from dinner, Heisenberg ushered her into the bathroom. She followed him, used to this routine, she pulled her dress off and sat on the sink. Heisenberg leaned  on his palms against the counter on either side of her, dipping in to give her a kiss. She deepened the contact, hands finding the sleeves of his button up shirt.

He gave a happy little rumble, pulling away enough to inspect her incision. She sat still, waiting as he looked her over with a critical eye. The infection was completely gone, the tissue a healthy healing pink.

“I can probably remove the stitches, if you’d like.” He concluded.

“Please.” She almost begged, “They itch.”

He stood, chuckling, “Itching is good, means it’s healing.”

He retrieved a sharp pair of scissors, pouring a bit of peroxide over the blades before kneeling before her once more. With careful cuts he snipped through the stitches, pulling them free with deft fingers.

He tossed them away one by one into the trash can. Juniper watched him with big eyes.

“Will it scar?” Juniper asked quietly.

“Afraid so, Darling.” Heisenberg frowned.

Her eyes looked glassy, glancing over the pinkish new tissue.

Heisenberg took her face in his hands, lifting her chin up to meet his gaze. She wilted a bit.

"What's up?" He asked, concern in his gaze.

"Hmm…" She almost didn't answer, looking away, "I don’t want you to think I’m ugly…I have really bad scars…”

“Are you fucking serious.” Heisenberg’s lips were a fine line, “Look at me.”

She met his eyes, him correcting her, “No look at all of me. Look at all the shit my body has been through.”

Her eyes wavered, scanning him over. He was covered in scars, his skin was a patchwork of pearlescent lattice, even his face sporting a few.

“I am a scarred, fucked up old man.” He said plainly, “You are so fucking beautiful. A few scars can’t change that.”

Her eyes watered, cheeks growing rosey.

His face split with a grin, “Have I ever hesitated to bend your ass over every flat surface in this factory?”

 “…no.” She mumbled.

“Don’t  you even start to think I don’t find you sexy as all hell, ok love?”

“Mmmm.”

“What?”

“You haven’t bent me over anything in months.” Juniper pouted in his hands.

Heisenberg looked at her a moment before throwing back his head and barking out with laughter.

“You were healing!” He bared his teeth playfully, “But you’re all fixed up now, how about I show you how much you drive me fucking wild?”

Juniper smiled, nuzzling into his cupped hands, “Please, master?”

“Oh Honey.” He almost purred, “Keep that up and you’ll be bedridden again.”

They made their way back to the bedroom, Heisenberg catching her up in a messy kiss. While she was distracted he removed the rest of her clothing, backing her up until her calves touched the bed.

He lightly pushed her back, Juniper making a little ‘oof’ as she hit the bed. She propped herself up on her elbows, smiling as Heisenberg fell to his knees before her.

He didn’t dive straight into her heat like she expected, instead pulling her by the ankles closer to the edge.

His eyes were dark and hungry as he dipped his head in to drop rough kisses up the length of her leg. Juniper shivered at the heat of his mouth as he trailed ever closer to the place she wanted him desperately.

His lips lingered on the softness of her inner thigh, sucking a dark blotch there. He pulled free with a wet pop, meeting her gaze. She was already flushed.

“I’m going to have to re-mark my claim on you.” He almost purred the words.

“Make me yours in every way.” She spoke sweetly.

“I plan to.” He promised, kissing upwards.

He dropped a kiss just above her clit, smiling when her breath hitched. She made a little sound of want when he pulled away, thrusting her hips up in an effort to urge him back. Heisenberg growled as his large hands found her legs, pushing her down against the bed.

Juniper whimpered, watching him move higher.

He kissed along her scar, eyes flicking up to meet hers. The new tissue was sensitive under his lips, his beard making her skin prickle.

“Fucking perfect.” He concluded when he covered its length, his hands forcing her thighs more apart, “Every part.”

“…stop.” Juniper’s cheeks reddened further.

“Oh no.” He gave a devilish smile, “No mercy for you my little wifey.”

She gave a little mewl at his tone, her core clenching air.

“I was looking forward to dessert all night.” His face split with a mirthful grin.

“Then come get it!” She bared her teeth a bit playfully

Heisenberg dove into her sex, eating her like a starving man. He was messy and forceful, causing her to melt in seconds. He growled into her flesh, already feeling her tighten under him. He pulled away, scoring his thumb over her clit as he licked slick from his lips, “Already such a damn mess for me.”

“It’s…it’s been a w-while.” She spoke between pants.

 “Too long.” He agreed, going back in.

He made sure to pull multiple orgasms from her with only his mouth and hands, stopping every so often to trail kisses up her abdomen. She was breathy and blissed out, completely forgetting her earlier self-consciousness.

He stood, giving her a moment of mercy. Juniper watched him, breasts quaking as she regained her breath. Her skin was already glistening with a light sheen of sweat, stray onyx curls stuck to her forehead. Heisenberg slowly removed each layer of clothing, almost making a show of it under her hungry gaze.

Finally kicking off his boxers he crawled onto the bed. The bed creaked under their combined weight as he loomed over her.

Juniper eager hands found him quickly, squeezing the thick ropes of muscle that made his arms.

“Pretty impressive eh?” He smirked cockily.

Her fingers slid upwards, fanning over his chest. She gave him a little devilish look as she found his only nipple piercing.

His breath hitched a bit as she toyed with it; coming almost unglued entirely when her head quickly dipped in to take the metal into her mouth.

The movement was almost too fast for him to react before the sensation rippled through his body. Juniper was spurred on when she saw how his body shivered in response, deepening the contact.

Heisenberg pushed her away, holding her down against the bed with strong hands. He swallowed, “That’s enough of that.”

Juniper licked her lips, the taste of metal and skin on her tongue, “Seemed to like it.”

He ground his teeth a bit, aware of his hard cock. He caught her lips up with his own before she could continue.

He kept her occupied, grouping down her body as he lined himself up. She gasped into his mouth when she felt the weeping tip bump her folds. He pulled away to brace himself over her.

“Fuck, I missed you.” His voice was low and almost wavering as he pushed into her. Juniper’s back arched, moaning as his cock stretched her out deliciously.

Her core was tight from the months without him.

He started pumping into her almost desperately, lifting her legs to hook around his waist. With the better angle he was able to reach deeper, rubbing against her g-spot with every thrust.

She clawed down his back, crying out every time their hips sloppily met together.

The sex was messy and raw, both needing to feel the release of pent up passions. Heisenberg groaned out breathily, hands finding purchase in the mattress to buck into her harder.

He felt her tense under him. “F-Fuck! Come for me Doll. Come on my cock!” He grunted out, moving a hand to her clit. His thumb scored quick circles into the sensitive bundle of nerves.

Juniper buckled under him, sobbing out her release. A surge of slick coated his cock as her cunt clamped down on him.

She felt divine, like liquid velvet around him. Heisenberg became a mess of sounds himself, balls slapping into her ass roughly as he chased his own release.

His hips jolted, bottoming out in her. She felt him pulse as her insides were flooded with hot ropes of come.

She felt extremely full, bits of his release oozing out around his cock.

He settled over her, wanting to stay slotted within her walls. Catching her breath she pulled his face closer, peppering his jaw with kisses.

He gave a little rumble of amusement, letting her fawn over him.

~

They tangled into one another, the darkness filled with the sounds of their heavy breathes and soft moans. A hunger of the flesh deep in their minds. Words weren’t needed. Their touches, tinged with desperation for an act both had feared would be lost to them, was everything in that moment.

Skin to skin, a heartbeat felt under fingertips. The world outside the bed didn’t exist, the nightmares couldn’t reach them.

Heisenberg pressed his body against Juniper’s, his cock never leaving her. In the soft lulls between rounds of sex he held her close, wanting to feel over every inch of her. She thankfully held onto him, losing track of the hours. He nipped into the soft flesh of her throat, huffing out hotly when he heard her mewl.

He felt her tense under him as he rocked into her afresh. Juniper didn’t know how many rounds or orgasms they shared, the night becoming a blur of pleasure and overstimulation.

Eventually exhaustion overtook her and Juniper fell asleep against his chest. Heisenberg stayed fully inserted inside of her, softly tracing her spinal scar. Their bodies were stuck together with sweat, he could feel every breath and heartbeat of hers.

He let his mind wander to work. With the spring thaw here it would make collecting bodies from the grave easier, but also he would have to be much more on top of watching the village for casualties.

Juniper was his favorite distraction but she was a distraction nonetheless. He wouldn’t force her away, no, she gave him more purpose to strive to escape. She made his hunger to explore the world deeper, he wanted to give her a better life than the factory.

And he would give it to her.

How the Akatsuki Grocery-Shops

Kakuzu: Puts “extreme couponers” to shame. Will spend a literal hour at the register arguing a 20 cent price dispute. If there’s a slight dent on a can? He wants a discount. The color on an apple is the tiniest bit off? Discount. Expired last month? Yes he’s still going to buy it and yes, he Wants. A. Discount. Will intimidate those in line behind him with an icy stare until they move to another register. Will pay an annoying amount of the bill in change, which he will painstakingly count out, twice, from his pocket. Whoever is with him will have to be prepared to forcibly drag him out before the police are called. Zetsu: All organic, baby. You won’t find this guy at a regular grocery store; he’ll only be at places where everything is locally farmed or produced, fresh, and vibrant. Of course, the carnivorous plant isn’t entirely about the fruits and veggies, the guy likes his meat. But even then it’s all grass-fed and free-range. The others will go with him when they feel like being healthy, but for the most part they find his type of stores to be way too expensive. Deidara: Starts off trying to buy mostly healthy foods but his impatience with shopping (and cooking) will likely have him grabbing the easiest, fastest, most hassle-free things to prepare. Lots of instant noodles, minute rice, frozen dinners. Will justify poor choices by throwing some bananas or grapes into cart and calling it a ‘healthy balance’. Absolutely can’t leave without the latest trashy gossip magazine. Tobi: If no one is there to supervise him, will head straight to the candy aisle and spend nearly the entire trip there. Likes ALL candy but is given a limited budget so can only pick a handful of things; will spend an agonizing amount of time trying to choose between his “favorites”. The free sample people will dread him because he’ll come back two, three, nine times, and if they try to tell him he’s had enough ... let’s just say the ‘Tobi’ act is dropped for a while. 9/10 times shopping trip ends up with someone ((Deidara)) finding him, taking most of the junk from his cart, and replacing it with actual food. Have to blindfold him at the register to keep him from throwing more candy bars or gum or soda bottles into cart. Sasori: Doesn’t eat, so no need to grocery shop. However, will occasionally accompany Deidara or Itachi on their trips, both as a temporary means to escape boredom ... and to subtly scope out other shoppers are possible future editions to his puppet collection. Hidan: Spends most of his time in the meat department. Secretly (or maybe not so secretly) turned on by the rawness and blood of fresh meat. Will avoid the produce section like the plague. Not really a fan of candy but will grab a chocolate bar or two of he feels like he needs a quick burst of energy. Also, if he’s with someone, likes to “people-watch” aka whisper rude commentary about the other shoppers and what they have in their cart. The type to insist he doesn't need a cart and can just carry everything in his arms.

Pein: Not ‘real’ so no need to eat. However, will sometimes go with Konan on her trips, so Nagato can be exposed to some “normal” situations for a change. Kisame: Lives at the seafood counter. Buys more fresh shrimp than it seems possible for one person to eat. Can tell if fish is good or bad with a single glance, and will threaten bodily harm to any employee trying to pass off old product as being fresh. Doesn’t really have any other food preferences, but will occasionally buy ingredients to make a pilaf or a curry to go with his aquatic diet. Itachi: The most balanced eater of the Akatsuki, as well as the most talented cook. Will hit up every single department, and nearly every aisle. Has a list and strictly sticks to it; is second-best at staying within budget (after Kakuzu). Never really checks out sales ads beforehand but always seems to luck into finding the best deals. Will allow himself ONE sweet (usually a pastry)

that he’ll pay for before he begins shopping, and walk around the store eating it. Will mostly go by himself (he finds grocery shopping to be calming, almost meditative) but will sometimes be joined by Kisame, orSasori. The type to, if he sees something that’s in the wrong spot, to pick it up and return it to the right place. Also the type to be honest about being undercharged for something (which is why Kakuzu can never go with him).

Konan: Not the biggest fan of grocery shopping, but will go if necessary. Will purposely wear the baggiest clothes possible, to avoid being hit on by creepy dudes (which unfortunately doesn’t work most of the time; her beauty is obvious no matter what she wears). Surprisingly, will seek out Kisame to go with her the most, because 1) His intimidating look immediately puts off all possible lechers, and 2) They’re BOTH huge fans of sea food. Spends more time looking at things in the Health/Beauty department than at actual food. The type to put back more than half of her cart before checking out, after deciding she "doesn't really need it". Like Deidara, can’t leave without buying the latest gossip magazine.
