From the moment you cross the café’s doorstep, you are greeted by comic strips plastered all over the interior, from walls and floors to the furniture and dishes, so you can’t help but feel as if you magically found a secret entrance to the unreal comic world.
Have reached the point in Ashlesha with the Breakfast Brick.
Brain goes : I wonder if @deadcatwithaflamethrower has an actual recipe for the Brick, and if not I want to figure it out
…*headdesk*
Guess who really does have a recipe for Breakfast Brick? 😀
BREAKFAST BRICK (More delicious than it sounds.)
One 10oz. box of brown rice cereal–or normal Rice Krispies. Heathens.
2 TBSP. of minced ginger (NO sulfites are preservatives or flavors in that; fresh is best but jars without extra crap in them exist.)
3 jumbo brown eggs (Use white if you must. Double-heathens.) 4 Egg whites will also be fine if you can’t have sulfas like egg yolks.
1 full stick of salted organic butter (or whatever butter but NOT margarine)
6 TBSP. evaporated cane juice (granulated sugar, triple heathens)
1 tsp. salt
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees (convection) or 425 degrees (non-convection).
Grease a cookie sheet that’s at least 9×12 that has edges–not a flat pan, but not a deep one, either. Spray high-heat coconut oil works; Spectrum shortening does also. (Other shortenings and sprays may change the flavor profile.)
Get a big microwave-safe mixing bowl. Put in the stick of butter and zap it until it melts, or melt it in a stove pan before pouring it into the mixing bowl. Add eggs, ginger, sugar, and salt; whisk together until uniformly mixed and the eggs are trying to be fluffy. (Don’t use a blender; that’s overdoing it.)
Pour the entire 10oz of cereal into your concoction and mix with a big spoon until cereal is evenly coated. It won’t be sodden, but if it seems like you have cereal that doesn’t have any concoction on it at all, whisk up another egg in a different bowl and pour it in.
Poor the big glob of cereal stuff onto your greased cookie sheet. Use hands coated with another spray of coconut oil or a sheet of saran wrap to press the cereal glob into more a less a 1/2″ to 1″ high shape that fills the cookie sheet.Bake for 5-7 minutes. That’s just enough time for the eggs to cook, because you don’t want to eat them raw…well, usually you don’t.
Remove from oven, allow to cool, and then start yanking off pieces and eating them. They are legit nom, which is terrifying.
odin is like “when thor was born the sun shone bright upon his beautiful face. i found loki on the sidewalk outside a taco bell”
Oðinn spake:
Bright the sun shone | at the time of Þor’s birth, And bathed his count’nance fair. Loki, wolf-father, | the trickster, the liar, I found on the cold pavement While returning in glory | from a grand hunt For a 3 AM quesadilla.
Entirely for @hellmandraws‘ amusement, and to defend America from the charge of being “weakass babies” I’m going to liveblog eating licorice candy.
okay first of all, the packaging. there’s a cartoon monkey ecstatically making love to a candy monkey. Perhaps an indicator of the orgasmic bliss I’m about to experience. 12/10. my hopes, like the people who designed this bag, are obviously very high
the candy looks like rocks and not jaunty little monkeys. huge disappointment. I had to recreate stonehenge to rally my flagging spirits. 2/10
First taste: wow this is salty! I think I actually like this. I love anise so I’m pretty sure this is going to be a trip to flavortown. 8/10 me rn:
OMG THE SALT WORE OFF IT’S SO MUCH WORSE THAN I EVER IMAGINED.
IT’S LIKE EATING A SHOE.
IS THIS CANDY?
IS THIS WHAT MAKES SCANDINAVIANS SO POWERFUL?
I’m chewing and it won’t go away
it’s stuck to my teeth, I’ll be tasting this forever. shards of this will be discovered in my teeth when my body is excavated from an archeological dig tens of thousands of years in the future. somehow the smell has traveled up through my nasal cavity and all I can sense, hear, or experience is licorice. the world is an empty vessel filled with remorse and the cloying smell of decay. I’m at the nadir of my existence. -100/12
somehow, here, standing at the edge of eternity, the darkness that consumed me birthed me anew. I’m not only ready for another candy, I’m eager. I can, nay I must, immediately eat another
oh wow it’s salty! 8/10
this time I’m ready for the salt to wear off.
I WAS NOT READY
the flavor this time was different, and somehow so much worse. instead of the leather of a shoe, it was like eating an entire shoe factory. the industrial rubber of the forklift tires, a hint of diesel as secretive as a volkswagen scandal, a soupçon of hot tin roof, the sweat of non-unionized labor, and a pervasive sense that while we’re all in this together, some of us are more all in this than others. 1/10 throw off your shackles, taste buds
I can’t believe it but I’m into this. I like this. shocked and disgusted with myself, I shove 2 more into my mouth concurrently.
conclusion: I’ve become addicted to licorice candy. what is in this. how do I get more. I hate this? I hate this. I willingly admit I’m a weakass baby. 100/10 will cycle through destruction and rebirth willingly and with open eyes, albeit it with teeth that will never again be clean.
I found this Youtube channel run by a Japanese chef and it’s actually better than porn? First all all his cinematography is off the charts. Youtube videos have no business looking that good. Second of all, everything he makes looks SO TASTY, and he explains the recipes in such a simple, soothing, manner. Third off all, he does this all while his two adorable kitties watch??? Like… they are so intent on what hes doing but they never run around or hop on the counter???? He has a stool for them to sit on as he makes his recipes Im gunna die
Look at this and tell me it isnt the best thing on youtube
he and his (American) wife have a youtube vlogging channel all about being an international couple and they have thREE CATS THAT HE COOKS WITH
You should see the video where he restores a knife…
Incorrect, he has two cats he cooks with, Haku and Nagi. If Poki were permitted into the kitchen when Jun cooked, he would immediately throw himself into the pan, determined to eat whatever was in it.
Poki is my favorite cat. uwu
poki sounds like my cat jasper
how did he film such a lovely video by candlelight? i’m impressed! also it’s so restful, and he has beautiful hands, and the kitties are so cute. it made my morning. thank you for sharing.
Poki is actually in his newest video:
My terrible trash cat finally graduates to being in cooking videos ❤ Im so proud of him ❤
