Call Me Out!

[cyan_maid]

Feel like threading something out with Jane? Homestuck's canon, AUs, taking place within a game she's had CR with one of your characters with, meme-type prompts, text conversations, or otherwise? Come at me, bros!

Just warn for anything like gore, smut, etc. in the title of your toplevel and let's get down to business!

What's this I hear about a lot of pie?

[cyan_maid]

Oh, well, I just need some taste testers for some variations on a recipe, that's all.
I'd get sick if I ate all the pies myself, and eventually it'd all taste the same. Different opinions are key to perfecting a product, too!
Do you want to join in?

[ratherdoweddings]

Of course! Who wouldn't be up for a Jane-chan original? I sort of set supper on fire today, anyway.

[cyan_maid]

...
You know, Mister Xander asked me not to let you help, but if you can keep that quiet I'm going to tutor you in some basic things afterwards anyway. Like eggs. And toast.
Soup, too, because promise me, soup is not hard.

[ratherdoweddings]

I didn't think it was that bad until the alarm went off...

[cyan_maid]

I'm sure you were doing fine, it just takes practice.
What were you making?

[ratherdoweddings]

I thought one of those casseroles you just put things into and throw in the oven would be easy.

[cyan_maid]

Which one specifically?

[ratherdoweddings]

What's usually in them? I put in noodles, beef, cheese... butter... avocado, that's supposed to be trendy, right?

[cyan_maid]

It depends on recipe.
Avocado would work if it's a kind of taco casserole, but not if it was, say, a hamburger noodle one.
Sometimes throwing lots of different things together is a great way to discover new meals you like, and other times it's a great way to discover what you don't like.

[ratherdoweddings]

That's the nicest way to say "that sounds disgusting" I've ever heard. Thank you.

[cyan_maid]

That's not what I meant at all - I'm sure whatever you threw together had merit! You might've just cooked it for too long.
Sometimes unusual combinations can be surprising! Like, would you ever automatically think to dip potato chips in melted chocolate? Or french fries into milkshakes?

[ratherdoweddings]

Oh, that's true! Wait, people put fries in their milkshakes?

[cyan_maid]

Sometimes!
It's not really my kind of thing, but it's better than dipping them in a plain gob of mayonnaise.
Blech! At least mix it with ketchup or something...

[ratherdoweddings]

What type of mayonnaise? Maybe that makes the difference.

[cyan_maid]

The plain kind you get right out of the jar.
It's not even a fancy herb kind.
That I might be able to somewhat understand.

[ratherdoweddings]

Spicy mayo I'd get, but plain mayo? You're right, that is a little gross.

[bylight]

I need an easy recipe I can't screw up.

Don't ask me what it's for.

[cyan_maid]

[Mom you are transparent.]

You can't go wrong with soup, if you keep it basic.
Or tomato sauce - though, there's lots of people who are very particular about THAT. I just suggest it because pasta is incredibly easy to make to pair with it.
Let's start with this: what are you in the mood to eat?

[cyan_maid]

You know, I've never actually had spicy mayo! What is it spiced with, and what do you use it for?

[ratherdoweddings]

Usually it'd be on sushi and things, and... hold on.

Okay, I asked, and I guess it's just Japanese mayo, lime juice, and hot sauce? It does taste better than it sounds!

[cyan_maid]

No, that sounds perfect!
Simple recipes are oftentimes the best! I think I'll have to try making it myself sometime.
Though...not to dip fries into. Maybe I'll make sushi, though I'm going to say right now that if I try to make those nifty little rolls, they're not going to stay together for quite a few tries.

[ratherdoweddings]

I know what you mean! Mine always fall apart and the rice vinegar gets everywhere.

[cyan_maid]

Isn't the rice hard to work with? It's the sticky kind, right?
How do you keep that from getting everywhere??

[ratherdoweddings]

I wish I knew... Everybody just shakes their head and says to let them do it instead.
