August Challenge Day 14

Your favorite foods. Do you cook yourself, dine out, have it delivered? Recipe links? Share pics!

Have I mentioned tea? Lol

I've already said in previous answers that I love cooking and baking so this is an easy one. I use to love spicy food but my spice tolerance has gotten very low. I can only eat one or two spices at a time now or I end up with a headache. Have no idea why. 

I have been leaning into vegetarianism since childhood but always end up feeling ill after a while so I'm 'flexitarian', sticking to chicken and fish

At the minute, while my brain reboots, my favourite foods now seem almost random lol 

I love buttery toast, toasted wheaten bread, chocolate/vanilla soy milk, sunny side eggs with toasted soda bread, red lentil soup, any type of crispy fried or roasted chicken, fish soup/chowder, tuna or chicken salad sandwiches, I love any type of gravy. Gravy makes everything better. Not the healthiest thing but I'm currently a little addicted to Quorn's vegetarian cocktail sausages. 

 I have always loved Japanese food and finding myself eating more of it now. Japanese curry, rice and miso soups. Korean foods are good as long as they're not too spicy. 

I love fruit. I would pick fruit over chocolate. So any kind of fruit dessert like pies and tarts. I prefer sweet foods to be light and spicy foods to be sweet.

Im not really a foodie anymore. I've gotten very picky as a lot of dishes now make me feel sick, and also my previous fav foods were binge items unfortunately LOL I don't order out anymore either, so I've been sticking to home cuisine mainly, which is (Irish/UK foods) Our food gets a lot of flack but I think it's because we are mild weather islands so our dishes are pretty simple and honestly, I ve been finding myself preferring that. Probably why I still love Japanese food because it's also very simple, just with their own native ingredients. I'm trying to go wholefoods lately and I ve bought a family cookbook to start my own collection of recipes. Just simple home cooked meals with seasonal ingredients plus my own native take on Japanese meals as well. I would post a picture of that but I can't on my phone lol 

Yeaahhh! The laptop is back =)  My fresh little but chunky collection book

AUGUST CHALLENGE PEOPLE:

We are almost halfway into the challenge and Part 2 Questions will post AM Thursday the 15th.

BEFORE they are, does anyone have a last minute question you really want included? I can edit before posting. 

I can't promise there is room for a lot of changes, but it might depend on how cool the question is, LOL.

Reply here or DM me.

(wow this is a bright yellow!)

I think getting to know how everyone got into/got to know  BL/ LGBTQ+ in general would be interesting, i do know this could be triggering, so no pressure. i just thought it would be nice 

again no pressure!! adjusting the questions would be difficult

AUGUST CHALLENGE - DAY 14 - FAVORITE FOODS

I am not a foodie. I'm picky, not very adventurous, and I choose to eat a limited diet. (Plant-based: no meat, seafood, eggs or dairy). My groceries are at least half fresh veggies & fruits. I like to cook with fresh garlic, ginger, herbs etc.

More than eating, I enjoy cooking, baking, and trying new recipes.  I think the link between what I eat and my health is very interesting. I could talk about food more than how much I can actually eat it.

Almost all of my meals are made at home. I rarely eat fast food or dine out, unless I'm with family or at an event. I treat myself to take-out every so often, but not frequently. Usually Thai or veggie sushi.

My favorite foods are: (all homemade) See links for recipes

For desserts I love baklava or angel food cake with a little chocolate & fresh strawberries. I love breads & desserts but I go easy on quantity. In the winter I like herbal teas, otherwise mostly water for drinking.

I second this motion! It might be fun! :P Of course, no pressure :)

 RXinw:

Okay I saw your dilemma and my mathematics brain jumped in (I actually hate all math that has nothing to do with money directly);

lets say you give 10 stars to each episode and there are 10 episodes so that is a total value of 100. You liked 4 episodes out of the 10 which is 4 ten stars valued at 40/100 (40%), so now find 40% of 10 stars which is 4 so there is the starting point for rating; 4 stars which is just basically giving 1 star to each episode you liked lol. Now you can give an extra 1 or 2 stars for things you liked about the series (actors, set, OST, etc.) which would give the final rating of about 5-6 stars. 

This is my unsolicited advice lol.

Ok. You make sense. I can work with this lol

Quesadillas (stuffed tortillas)

I've never seen someone describe a quesadilla like this I need a moment lmao

Heehee! :P

 TY_0910:

Great! I just need a little more clarification, cuz I don't want to assume...but I'm guessing you both mean how did a member discover BL & LGBQT+ dramas?

Okay, this is not healthy, lol, because wow, that's a long list! But, I think I can agree to these terms because the only people I want to call dibs on is Higuchi Kouhei and Mashiko Atsuki, so you can have the rest :D
