Alcohol+Food = fantastic

[percipience.livejournal.com]

I have discovered that cooking with Sake can create some really amazing results...it's kind of a touchy art, though. There are too many different kinds of Sake that taste good only with certain things apparently. I used...some...Gingi I think it was called with salmon and...oh man. It was amazing.

I think experimenting is about to ensue. I might go talk to one of the restaurants in town and ask for some tips because I think I'm in love.

Yes, I'm sure many of you already knew this but it's a new discovery for me. I'd never touched the stuff before, to be honest. I'm a little bit of a lightweight, you see, and I didn't cook nearly as much at home as I do here so that never occured to me. I also seem to be becoming obsessed with the use of Wasabi. I can NOT handle the stuff gracefully because, I gotta face the facts, Hot food and me..well I love it but I'm SUCH a wuss about it. You should see me carry on if I get a piece of sushi with too much wasabi on it. It's ridiculous how I flail about. (though I imagine that if you're not me it's pretty entertaining to watch).

I still prefer baking but whenever I bake I make MASS quantities of food and that can get a little old.
I think tonight I might make some salmon with a caramel glaze or something..it sounds really good...I like salmon a little too much I think. I can't help it that it's so incredible though!

It still ends up resulting in certain intoxicating qualities, from what I have heard.

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Does it? I didn't have any trouble with it at all, personally. Maybe I just used little enough of it...

[morosedarkness.livejournal.com]

Bear in mind I speak from theory, not a practical understanding.

I have... not had much need for nourishment, you see.

Perhaps I might give it's creation a try.


[ooc; Lana be warned. Xemnas wants to bake sweets. x)]

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Really? Well I'm in the kitchen right now getting ready to cook something or another (I haven't quite decided yet)

You're welcome to join me if you'd like.

[morosedarkness.livejournal.com]

Join you...

You... do not mind?

[ooc; XD! I have no idea where this came from but joking with Xigbar-mun, apparently they made chocolate in the Org. *Dies* So yes. IT WILL HAPPEN. ]

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Of course I don't mind! I'd really enjoy the company.

[morosedarkness.livejournal.com]

Then I will be there.

[ooc; Gosh I'd love to, but I have a midterm project to do and I know once I start logging, I wont move ;-; But this would certainly result in... revealing interesting sweet-making skills that's for certain. x)]

[percipience.livejournal.com]

I look forward to it.

[notsomuchakitty.livejournal.com]

S-salmon?

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Do you like salmon?

[notsomuchakitty.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Well next time I make salmon I'll be sure to let you know so you can get some.
What's your name?

[notsomuchakitty.livejournal.com]

Ruby.
Yours?

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Lana. Nice to meet you, Ruby. I'll let you know (I may make some tonight. We'll see)

[notsomuchakitty.livejournal.com]

You too. You're very nice. Thank you.

I've never tried sake before but I've cooked with wine. Might have to give the sake thing a try next time.

(And I'm not positive about sake, but if it's anything like wine the alcohol content cooks out of it when you heat it--if that helps at all?)

[percipience.livejournal.com]

I thought it must. It's kind of hard to cook with Sake! Sometimes it turns out terrible depending on the kind you use and since I'm not familiar with it yet...there's a lot of experimenting going on haha.

[h-townshend.livejournal.com]

I suppose I should wander downstairs here after a while and find myself something to eat. I'm not thrilled about the idea of ghosts in the kitchen, though....

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Possibly a good plan I hate the stupid things but you get used to them...kind of

[h-townshend.livejournal.com]

I suppose that means leaving my room then. I've never met a ghost yet that wasn't completely homicidal. This should be interesting.

[percipience.livejournal.com]

I was the same way when I first arrived. I just recently started going to the city. you'll get more comfortable here, I promise. I had never met a ghost. I nearly had a coronary

[h-townshend.livejournal.com]

I hope so. Almost everyone I've spoken with so far over the journal has seemed pretty decent. I nearly had a coronary the first time I saw one too...but I think that was because the damn thing pushed its hand into my chest and tried to rip my heart out.

I don't think we've met yet, have we? I'm Henry.

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Yeah..paradisa definitely has its share of assholes, though, be warned. Don't let them discourage you. I just don't think they have enough to do with their time. HOLY SHIT!

I don't think so either. I'm Lana. It's nice to meet you Henry. Do you hail from anywhere I'd recognize?

[h-townshend.livejournal.com]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks. Yeah....

It's nice to meet you too, Lana. I'm from a little town in Pennsylvania called Ashfield. On Earth. Seems kinda funny having to say it, but yeah. Earth.

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Hey! Another person from planet Normal! We're few and far between, let me tell you.
I'm from a tiny town called Smallville in Kanas. It's about an hour from Metropolis.

[h-townshend.livejournal.com]

Well...I'm not sure where Metropolis is exactly, but I know where Kansas is.

It's weird being in a place with so many people who aren't from Earth...I had to try to explain a while ago what a photographer is. Do you know how hard that is?

[percipience.livejournal.com]

It is very hard. I had to try and explain what the internet was...which started out with me having to explain what a computer was.

I've also had to describe what a hug is since being here. A hug! There are some people here who have never in their lives been hugged. (though there are a couple that I really wouldn't suggest trying)

[h-townshend.livejournal.com]

That's kind of sad. Although I guess if you didn't know what it is, you wouldn't really miss it would you?

Can I ask you a question Lana?

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Very true. But it is sad. I really adore a couple of those people who were never hugged, too...

You can ask me any question you'd like, Henry.

[h-townshend.livejournal.com]

Someone named Claire said something a while ago about...the castle taking things from people. Is that true?

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Yes. It's true. The castle takes something you hold dear.

[h-townshend.livejournal.com]

Okay. Thanks.... [transcribed sigh]

[percipience.livejournal.com]

I'm ....really sorry, Henry.

[h-townshend.livejournal.com]

It's okay...I guess I got off easy, all things considered. It would be horrible to lose your memories or something like that.

All I have to worry about is mismatched socks. [transcribed weak laugh]

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Took away your ability to see color, huh? That sucks but I wouldn't worry too much about matching your socks. I can see color and I still mismatch my socks regularly. I don't see the point in worrying about matching your socks when there are bigger things in the day to worry about.

I would...tell you what I lost just to be fair but to be completely honest I haven't got the smallest idea what it is that I lost. [uncertain laugh]
