𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞! :)

i'm afraid i'm not terribly good at this social media stuff, so please bear with me.

I will be primarily using this platform to promote my own culinary work and catering services, provide any advice I can, and send out announcement for my classes, but feel free to come chat if you'd like! i also may occasionally indulge in some sentimentality and post about my husband :)

A-Qing is suggesting I use certain tags for the content I post, but I think I will add those in as I come up with them, so check back soon!

See you around! And if you see me on campus, don't be afraid to say hi!

[cooking-with-xingchen]

Dear.. would you like a massage?

@sing-songs-lan

Oh, I love you. Yes please, a massage sounds wonderful.

[sing-songs-lan]

Mmh. We should still have some incense

[cooking-with-xingchen]

Oh, good :) I’ll check the cupboard

[sing-songs-lan]

Wonderful, I’ll prepare some towels then

[cooking-with-xingchen]

Perfect :)

[sing-songs-lan]

They should be ready now!

[cooking-with-xingchen]

Okay good! :) I’ll be over in just a moment

[sing-songs-lan]

Alrighty. Afterwards we can take a bath together or something of that nature.

[cooking-with-xingchen]

‘Or something of that nature’, hm? :)

[sing-songs-lan]

Well a shower could work too no? Unless you're thinking of something.. else :)

[cooking-with-xingchen]

Oh! Hahaha! Ah, how embarrassing! I thought you were talking about something else, oh dear

And here I was trying to be all coy and seductive when you really did just mean a bath!

[sing-songs-lan]

I certainly wouldn’t complain if other things happened dear, don’t worry about it. Though now that I think about it massage would also have some connotations

[cooking-with-xingchen]

That almost makes it more funny, oh my goodness. I kept my head about the massage but not the bath haha

Shows where my mind is I guess ;)

[sing-songs-lan]

Well if we were to do that during one of those two things it might be wisest to be the massage that way the bath is also cleaning?

[cooking-with-xingchen]

Probably smart, yes :) I suppose we can see where things lead us and go from there? <3

[sing-songs-lan]

That works. I’ll also grab some candles then.

[cooking-with-xingchen]

I'll be waiting 🤍

[sing-songs-lan]

All we have are pumpkin spice scented ones.. not super romantic sorry

[cooking-with-xingchen]

I would say it’s romantic enough as long as I get to be with you :)

[sing-songs-lan]

Then it’ll do, they were mainly to set the mood anyways I suppose

[cooking-with-xingchen]

I’m sure it’ll be perfect <3

@sing-songs-lan @ghost-girl-xiao-qing i see neither of you have wished me or Xue Yang a happy disability pride month. Hmm..

[sing-songs-lan]

Happy disability pride month my love. And @looming-dis-ass-ter as well ❤️💙 love both of you!

[cooking-with-xingchen]

That’s better <3 And happy disability pride to you too, sweetheart! 🤍

[sing-songs-lan]

Ah no need. How’ve your eyes been? I remember the last time you went to the doctors there was some discomfort?

[cooking-with-xingchen]

Hm, well if you say so.

And I’m fine! I kept getting aches behind them before that the doctors wanted to look at, but they said it seemed alright. I’m not getting any more or less blind, so there’s that haha :)

[sing-songs-lan]

Yup.

And that’s good to hear! I think the main concern was more so that it was uncomfy haha

[cooking-with-xingchen]

It really was so irritating. It made it hard to concentrate on teaching, which was the worst part. But it’s all mostly resolved itself now so that’s fine :)
