More FF7 sackboys
(More crocheted madness over at weloveamigurumi -- Sackiroth has comrades now! SackZack, SackCloud, and SackVincent are in action, along with Jenova's yarn-dripping hacked-off crocheted skull. :3

...I wonder what it says about my sanity that I have actually crocheted a hacked-off skull and left the stuffing and yarn dangling as the equivalent of blood and guts.

There'll be more Adventures of Sackiroth posts One Of These Days(TM), because I have literally hundreds of pictures snapped at various cons and plotting out various bits of mischief between the sackboys, but I'm unlikely to have time to code 'em up until the annual "summer work-inundation from hell" period is over. Normally it doesn't hit 'til August; this year it hit in June and hasn't slowed down yet. But one of these days...

By the way - it's my birthday tomorrow. :3 If anyone happened to feel like telling me which of my fics they like best, or quoting a favorite line, or writing a drabble (or a recipe) into a comment, that definitely counts as presents in my worldview... :)

Oh yeah -- one more thing on my wish list?

Would anyone be willing to make a short (20-seconds or less) sound clip of Sephiroth's Advent Children lines about "On your knees; I want to hear you beg forgiveness" or "I've thought of something to give you, Cloud. Shall I give you despair?" ...and then run it through the filter that turns it all chipmunk-pitched?

This is on account of how Sackiroth has a voice chip in him, and I would looooooooove to get that on there. (Particularly in chibivoice.) But I lack the requisite editing skills. :3

Happy birthday! :D

I really love your 30 for 3 fic series (most of all the Yule fics) and the KH/Furuba crossover. XDD And also A Shoggoth on the Chimney, which is just plain awesome. XD

And for a recipe... how about pavé? Bear with me, though, 'cuz I'm translating the ingredients from portuguese XD;; and I'm really not all that familiar with english cooking terms.

--------

The covering cream thingie
1 can of milk cream, without the watery part
3 egg whites
6 soup spoons sugar

The filling cream thingie
3 egg yolks
1 can condensed milk
1 same can of normal milk (use the previous can for measuring)
half a soup spoon of corn... corn flour thingie... oh, jesus, I've no idea what it's called in english. I'm pretty sure normal flour also works. It's mainly for consistence, it doesn't add much flavor, and some recipes skip it alltogether

Decorate with
Half a tablet of bitter chocolate bar shaved or cut in little pieces
Bakery sugar for sprinkling

The insides
1 package of champagne cookies/biscuit
4 soup spoons of vermouth or cocoa liquor

Take the flour, the yolk, the condensed milk and normal milk to low cooking and stir until it's thick and consistent (the thickness is a matter of personal taste). Then let it cool down. Meanwhile whip the egg whites, then add the sugar and whip it further. Add the milk cream little by little, stirring carefully, and set it aside.

Mix the vermouth with a teacup of water and heat it until it boils. Lightly humidify half the cookies in this mix (don't overdo it or they'll turn into a sloshy paste) and use them to cover the bottom of a round or rectangular recipient. Spread the yolk cream over the cookies, add another layer of humidified cookies and then the covering. If you have more cookies and more filling you can add more layers. Decorate with the chocolate and sugar at will and put on the fridge for about 4 hours.

If you don't want to use vermouth or liquor, or plan on serving it to minors, you can use warm milk with sugar and cinnamon to humidify the cookies. :D

oooooh yum! ^________^ This kind of sounds like tiramisu with a twist. (And I looooooove tiramisu.) I think the word you were looking for was corn starch? It sounds like the sort of thing corn starch is used for, anyway -- thickening things... I'm going to have to test this out some time when I've got lots of people around to help eat the results so I don't eat it all myself. :3 Thank you!

	^___^ Tiramisu uses coffee and chocolate liqueur flavors on cookies that look a LOT like the champagne biscuits (the tiramisu version's called ladyfingers in English) and put them in a layer of light cheesecake-type sweetened cheese. And then more chocolate goes on top. Yummmmm... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I read about it!

	chibirisuchan 2009-07-18 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	Y'know, that'd make a lot of sense - I haven't been able to find anything corresponding to the phrase "champagne biscuits" in English, but "ladyfingers" have lots of other names in the Wikipedia page, and the Portuguese edition of "champagne biscuits" from your picture turned up lots of hits too... hmmm. (btw, what IS that icon? XD) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elanor_pam 2009-07-18 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I'm pretty convinced by now - since ladyfingers are apparently french biscuits, maybe "champagne" refers to the location, not the drink? And the icon is from an old King's Quest game, I think. I ganked it from someone at journalfen's fandom wank community XDD;; It's so hyper, isn't it? XDD (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hmmmm. Took a look at the map, and it looks like Savoy (the area they're named after in Italian) is in a different region than Champagne. But maybe the Italians named them after one area and the Portuguese named them after another? Or maybe they're named for the color? They're kind of the same pale gold as champagne? I dunno. (headscritchy...)

... Ya know, only two weeks ago I would have asked 'What madness is it that has infected Risu into this crazy scheme of crocheting.'

Then I learned how to crochet.

I have a goddaughter on the way and I do believe she'll have more crocheted stuffties than she'll ever need: An evil devil cat, the three little pigs, a blanket, a hat, etc.

Yes, all in two weeks.

Anyway, I wish I could make a sound cut for your Sackiroth, but I am also in the valley of tecnological bwah. BUT. IF YOU'D LIKE - I can make you any crocheted creature of your choosing! Er, that's if you don't mind mailing your address to the creepy girl online.

XDDDDDD yeah, it's addictive, isn't it? And in my case I've been on hours and hours and HOURS of roadtrip recently, so I've needed something to do with my hands and I can crochet in the car without getting carsick. And then I got several of 'em done while spending hours and hours room-sitting at cons -- all you do is sit outside a room and make sure everyone going in has a badge, which I can do while crocheting as well, and the hotels didn't have wireless, so yeah. Lots of enforced crochet time. :)

Even spending half and hour undoing knots in your yarn is carthartic. It's like a super drug that saps sappable things I didn't even know existed out of sappy places! I'm sure my Japanese teacher wonders how the hell I'm learning anything when I'm sitting there going at it in the middle of class, but hey, I have an A and I'm paying for the class. I figure if I can say 'Excuse me, but could you show me where the chili sauce is? I'm making Mexican for my mother's birthday dinner party.' on automatic pilot, I'm doing fine.

XDD I have zero patience with yarn knots, but I like the crocheting itself. Particularly the bits where I don't have to count, just keep going round and round and round until I've got something about the right length... I crochet off both ends of the yarn at the same time so I can make matching pairs of arms/legs and adjust 'em both as needed. XD That's probably cheating, but I don't care...

XDDDDD Commentfic sounds awesome! But I am honestly afraid of accidentally setting off another plotcthulhu in your head. I seem to have this subliminal Jou-brain wiretap that implants ideas that don't turn off for 300 pages or so. And since I'm pretty much sure you need more sleep and recuperation time than you're getting... hmm.

If I give you a prompt for an existing ficworld, maybe it won't set off a whole new cthulhu, it might just tie into an existing one? :3

(In either HCverse or Puppyverse, since they might have different culinary backgrounds in them...)

How about Zack taking his people to a Gongagan restaurant? Who likes the food, who doesn't, what do they order? Does Zack try to get anybody drunk on the legendary moonshine?

Cooking With Zack, pt 1

stopthatgirl7
2009-07-19 02:00 am UTC (link)

*snicker* Post-HC poked me, so. And, of course, it was too long for only one comment.

--

"...Why is Zack cooking?" Kadaj said warily.

Cloud looked up from the busted video screen he and Loz had been working on. Pieces were spread out all over the table.

"You did see Tifa today, right?" he said, blinking.

"Yes, well, can't you just fix her?"

"She has the flu, Kadaj. I can't do anything about the flu."

"So why is Zack cooking?"

"Because we have to eat, and I burn water."

"You cook better than Zack," Kadaj said, and Cloud let out a snort of laughter.

"You've eaten my attempts at cooking before, remember? Yazoo accused me of trying to poison you."

Kadaj hmmphed. "You're still better," he said huffily.

"Say that after you've eaten whatever Zack is concocting in there," Cloud said, and went back to trying to repair the screen.

--

"Taa-daa!" Zack said with a flourish, laying down two large bowls filled with...well, Cloud had no idea. They looked like really thick soup with hunks of meat and vegetable, only...only the colors...

"That shade of green is not one found in nature," Yazoo said, blinking.

"...Nor is that, what, is that orange? Red?" Kadaj said, pointing to the plate of some kind of cubed meat.

"I see why this took you all day," Cloud said blandly. Zack had definitely been working; there were the two thick-soup like dishes, the meat, salad, and a plate stacked high with some kind of flatbread.

Zack grinned. "I haven't had food from home in a long time, and my mom gave me some supplies a few weeks ago when I finally went to visit home. You guys are lucky, this is authentic!"

"...Authentic what?" Yazoo said, blinking.

"How do I eat it?" Marlene said, looking perplexed.

Zack grinned. "Break off a big piece of the bread, and dip it in the sauce. That green one's spinach and cheese tari, the reddish brown one is chickpea and pumpkin tari. That meat is chicken tone tiki."

"Oh, that clears it right up," Kadaj said sarcastically.

"Like this," Zack said, ignoring Kadaj and taking a piece of the flatbread and tearing off a sizeable piece, then and dipping it into the green sauce, scooping it so a piece of cheese was on the bread. Marlene, Denzel, and Loz watched him openly, with Yazoo watching surreptiously. Zack brought the loaded piece of bread over to his mouth and took a bite. "Mmm, perfect!" he said around the mouthful of bread, and Marlene took a deep breath, grabbed a piece of bread, and tore off a piece. She tentatively dipped it into the brownish sauce and then took a bite.

Her eyes went wide, and she immediately dipped another piece into the sauce, this time almost drowning the bread in it. "This is so good!" she said.

Loz seemed to take that as a sign it was safe, and so he picked up some of the bread and dipped it into the green sauce with one hand as he reached for some of the cubed meat with the other.

Zack grinned. "You use the bread to pick that up, too," he said, and promptly did so himself.

Yazoo and Kadaj exchanged glances, then both of them pointedly looked at Cloud and waited. Cloud snorted to himself, and picked up some of the bread, then stared at the sauces. They really weren't colors he'd ever seen occurring outside of poisonous plants that would melt your face off, but so far, Loz and Marlene were still alive, so he figured it wouldn't kill him. Zack had managed to life off the Nibelheim food Tifa made, even though more than once he had gone, "I can't even pronounce that!" when they would try to tell him the names of things, so Cloud figured he could manage food from Gongaga.

Or so he thought until he took a bite, and the spiciness made his tongue feel as if it had been lit on fire. He swollowed and groped half-blind for a glass of water and downed it at once, but he still felt as if someone had set off a Firaga on his tongue. "Sp-spicy!" he managed to splutter out, choking.

"I'm not eating this," Kadaj said immediately, staring at Cloud, who had by then reached for Kadaj's glass of water as well.

"Um," Yazoo said.

Zack, being unhelpful, was laughing his head off. "I guess I should have warned you, huh? Try the spinach tari, it's not as spicy."

"I'm not eating this," Kadaj said more forcefully.

"But it's good!" Marlene and Loz said at the same time.

"More for you," Kadaj said, still staring in horror at Cloud, whose face had gone completely red and who had tears streaming down his face.

"Water's not gonna do you any good. Drink some milk," Yazoo finally said. Cloud reached over and took the milk Denzel had poured for himself, and with a choked, "Sorry," drank all of it.

Once the tears stopped streaming down his face, Cloud took a deep breath and let out a pained, "So, who's up for some McMoogles?", and Kadaj and Yazoo were on their feet and heading for the door before Cloud could take another breath. Denzel looked torn, then got up and headed for the door.

"Heathens!" Zack yelled. "You have no sense of adventure!" he finished as the door slammed behind the four of them as they fled, and went back to eating. "Hey, leave some for me!" he yelled and swatted at Loz's hand before Loz ate all the tone tiki.

BWAHAHAHAHA~! Oh poor Cloud. But poor Zack too - nobody appreciates his mama's home cooking!

And I SWEAR we have some kind of mental brain tap thing going -- looking at the time you were posting this? That was pretty much exactly when I was shanghaiing my neighbors into Indian dinner! (in my old college town after we'd gone to visit the zoo and fed the birds that actually landed on your hands and chirped at you - I've never touched a real live bird before; that was awesome! anyhow, /birdsquee) And the people at the table were having pretty much exactly those reactions. One of my friends is a supertaster, which means ketchup is nearly too spicy for him. But we made sure to order lots of naan and tandoori and mild stuff, and got him a lassi to drink, and he actually got through it and said it was the best Indian food he'd ever had. Yay!

(...Heh. Now I want to get into the leftovers, but we're saving 'em for Wednesday gaming-night.)

And yeah, I figure Zack should definitely have warned Cloud about what was the less-spicy version -- unless it was part of his secret plot to whittle down the audience and have more for himself? XD After all, when you've got that many teenagers all around the same collection of food and you want to get any of it, you have to think of some kind of sneaky strategy? ...or something? XD

BTW, o Mistress of the Overthinkers Club, do tari and tiki correspond to anything out here? (my Indian-based guesses would be pumpkin vindaloo, saag paneer for the spinach, and chicken korma or makhani? But if it corresponds more to Malaysian island-based food, I wouldn't even know where to start guessing...)

LOL, good lord, that's the coincidence right there. >XD

And I think Zack just forgot Cloud and his Germanic palate were not going to be used to spicy food. He was probably thinking, "He'll like finally getting something with flavor!" He likes Tifa's Nibelheim cooking (because hey, food he doesn't have to cook=good) but has missed hot spices, and forgets not everyone in the house will be used to them. Everyone ran away, but I suspect Yazoo's and Denzel's curiosity will get the better of them, and they'll sneak and try the leftovers. Denzel will decide he'll eat it next time Zack makes it, and Yazoo will discover that while it made his eyes water and nose run, he liked it and will have to sneak more leftovers if Zack makes it again until he gets used to the spiciness, because one's nose running in front of everyone is quite undignified. Cloud will warily give it another shot if Zack tones the spiciness down a few notches (Tifa will luck out in that she's so stuffed up she can't taste it as much, but the spiciness acts as a great expectorant, which she appreciates). Kadaj, however, will not touch any of it, ever, not even with a ten-foot ~~sword~~ pole.

Also, yes, they do correspond! "Tari" is based on one of the words for curry, 'kari' (I forget why I changed the k to a t; I know there was a reason for it, but darned if I remember) and Zack is using it as a generic word so he doesn't scare everyone off (he still has memories of Tifa trying in vain to teach him how to pronounce "Nibelheimer Speckpfannkuche") and "tiki" comes from "tikka" from "chicken tikka," aka tandoori chicken.

There are reasons why I should not be allowed lose on Wikipedia unsupervised. XD;;;

And I want Indian food now, too. I ought to go down to this kickass place in Nara, but I think today will be spent the way the rest of the weekend was spent, sleeping (yay, three-day weekend!) I'll just make my boil-in-bag curry, because sleep is yay.

The bird thing is cool! There was a temple in Kyoto where you can buy birdfeed and the pigeons are so tame they'll land on you to eat. I daresay the birds you saw were way cooler than pigeons, though. :D

XDDDD Yeah, Kadaj would have it firmly planted in his head that anyone so cruel as to have permanently nicknamed him 'shrimp' would be trying either to personally humiliate him or to personally kill him with the serving of fully-loaded assault-food with the safety off.

....Now I want to pfutz around with Indian spices and stuff until I come up with recipes for these to put on and_cupcakes. ^___~

By boil-in-a-bag curry do you mean things like these? I thought pretty much all Japanese curry came in those soapy brick things, but maybe Swad's shipping 'em all over the planet now. :3

^___^ They were little finches and budgies -- really bright colors, one completely-yellow-like-a-chocobo one decided I was his designated feeder and would only let the others settle on my hands for a couple minutes, but at one point I had four of 'em pricklefooting their way around my hands and wrists squabbling at each other over the seeds and they were so cute.

I thought (very briefly) about seeing whether the pet store had any birds. Then I thought about the fact that either the bird or my cat would not survive the first 24 hours, because if the bird didn't die of a heart attack or a cat assault, the cat would kill himself trying to get the fluttery squeaky prey out of the cage to be devoured. Same reason I thought very briefly about goldfish and then said "er, no." XD If my cat was more like the neighbors' I could've gotten away with it, but my cat Hunts Everything.

*snicker* Kadaj would take one look at Cloud all but speaking in tongues (as an afterthought, curse the lack of editing of comments, I wanted to have Cloud's choked out "Sorry" to be "Enschuldigung" as he reverts out of Standard, and Kadaj definitely would have had a "WTF just came out of his mouth, what did Zack's food DO to him?!" moment) and decide that Zack Is Evil (which he suspected all along; why else would Zack keep calling him 'shrimp') and will never touch anything the man cooked.

Hee hee hee, go for it! You already made the Materia Ice thing; it seems you dropkick my ficbrain and I dropkick your cooking brain. ;)

Yeah, the boil in bag stuff is kind of like that. Most Japanese curry is that wussy curry roux. Lately, though, you can get premade 'Indian' curry, like keema, that has actual spices! I even found a grocery store that sells Thai curry, red and green, that was actually spicy, as well as some kits for making authentic curry (complete with warnings that it is REALLY spicy), which I'll try when I no longer feel like death. Hee hee, the pumpkin and chickpea one was based on one of the boil in bag curries I have in my kitchen now (and have been living off of, since my energy levels when I get home from work are around nil).

And eeeee, that sounds so cute! Two of my bosses in the US had birds, and they would bring them in all the time.

...also, yes, any bird you had would not last long with your semi-feral kitty. You see another pet, he sees a gourmet meal that you have brought for him, but cruelly put just out of his reach.

The door came off its hinges when he wrenched it open; Sephiroth stood there in nothing but a bedsheet wrapped around his hips, pupils blown wide enough that he might almost have passed for human if it weren't for the flex of that wing.

"Hey, boss," Zack said carefully, caught between the need to hold him and the dread of bitter memory. "How's your head?"

Sephiroth's hands closed tight about the doorframe, as though he were struggling with the same need to reach out. "Better without the girl attaching things to me," he said, and took a shaking breath. "Get me out of here, Zack. She has chocobo barrettes."

My favorite stories are your 30 for 3, Ikelnie, Furuba/KH, and The Dragon of Nibelhiem.Above is just one of my favorite parts XD I love your work and it brings me joy to read and re-read it.Hope you have a happy birthday, you deserve it for bringing such wonder fic to such homely people like me.

d'awwww - thank you! ^____^ Birthday was lots of fun.I dragged my parents out to an Asian restaurant for a cook-at-the-table spree.

I'd been guessing that Dad would freak out and Mom would be 'oooh shiny,' because Dad's the doesn't-like-new-things one, but Dad was all over it (possibly because there was all the meat he could ever want) and Mom was the hesitating one ("...is that a tentacle?" "Yes mom, the seafood version has squid in it. And octopus." "And you're supposed to put that in your MOUTH?" "...Here mom, why don't you try some of Dad's beef bulgogi." XDD)

By the end of it, though, even Mom was willing to give it a try again some other time as long as we didn't order the seafood version. ^_~
