I have a very special relationship with Christmas Cake. When I was about 3 my Granddad asked me to make a Christmas cake with him for a cute photo to send to everyone. From that Christmas onwards until I was 23 & got a full time job, I made a Christmas cake with him every year. Yep even moody teenage me did it with him. As I child I tried the brandy & almost spat it back into the Christmas cake. It was always fun. My granddad is now no longer here he passed in 2019 just before I turned 30. We now have a friend who makes my dad one each year. It’s good but it’s not the magic of making one with Granddad. Bloody miss you Phil. To quote the old bill Crappy Hismas to you all.(Happy Christmas)
Anyhow you’re here for Loki, so he’s making Christmas cake & he’s got help too.
Yes Aligator Loki is here & is being rather impatient. His jaw chops away & his tail flicks out. Loki is trying to concentrate on his master piece, because the icing has to be right. But trying to converse with his friend is making him a little frustrated.
Loki has his Christmas music on which is playing let it snow in this universe. Like me Loki has mini trees in his kitchen too. But he can’t get angry at baby aligator loki. He’s having a dance on the cake, & using the icing like a skating rink. Loki just smiles & laughs at his variety. This is a Christmas memory they will both cherish for years.
You walk into the kitchen.
“What going on?” You say at the scene before you. The Lokis are having a stand off. Aligator Loki snaps growls & licks his lips & your Loki sighs.
“No this will be the thirds” he turns to face you. “He’s eaten 2 of the last cakes whole. Look at his belly” Aligator loki lick his lips & taps his tummy.
“Well you can magic them up except for the icing” you say as you hug your loki.
“That’s not the point”
“I know baby” you then scowl at the Aligator. “Dont up set Loki or there will be no gifts on Christmas Day” the smug Look on his face drops, & he leave loki to finish his cake.
This Loki & his Aligator variant, know team work is fun & gets the job done. You’ve taken photos of the whole process of them making the cake together. & now here they are icing it. Both laughing & smiling at their achievement. You can’t wait to put this on your multiverse email, so everyone can see that two Lokis really are better than one.
I really enjoyed these Lokis & im sorry I went off on a tangent at the start. I hope you enjoy these little shorts & pictures too.
Mom: "Prepare dinner..." Me: "Challenge accepted!" I'm sorry I just couldn't help myself not to do it...there was no other way. My mischief levels are off the charge lately!
So I have my Hiddelston Girls. I adore them & we were sharing ideas & things to do & go over & one of those ideas which I shared with them was the idea of Cooking with Loki… & they went omg we’d look at that we’d so follow that.
So here I am going off on another tangent.
Yes each Friday from now until the Christmas (& it might continue past that) we’re going to post some Cooking with Loki bits. Maybe a little synopsis with the pictures too but it hope you all enjoy it.
If you know me well you will know that Tom always used to be my number 1 until… well… I think my writing speaks for itself.
So enjoy people, let me know what you think about these
It’s the first cooking with Loki Friday that I’m gonna do.
This week I had a hankering for pancakes (I’m kinda blaming Dave York for that [even in a bloody loki post I make it all about stabby typical]) & I just wanted Loki to have some fun with it.
Just imagine it.
A nice morning you wake up in bed hearing the kettle boiling, smelling something extravagant from your kitchen so you slip on a robe & head downstairs.
There he is making you pancakes in the apron you got him for his birthday , humming to the radio. The coffee boiling brewing on this crisp morning.
He’s even changed the water in the vase of sunflowers. A job you said you’d do in the morning, but no he’s changed it so they are bright & ready to look at you this morning. He’s even thrown out some of the bad fruit left in the bottom of the bowl.
He’s a tidy chef & as you sit opposite him across the counter he pushes his glasses up his nose before sliding your plate across to you. His first words to you are “my queen deserves a breakfast & I know she’s got an appetite”
I hope you enjoyed that. It’s something different I know. This will evolve trust me, much like my writing. All feed back is welcome but also please let me know what you’d like Loki to cook. I’m open to suggestions.
We made it peoples. The holidays are here. I’m now off work. All is good in the hood. So Loki is going to chill & relax too & make some gingerbread. Loki style obviously. All ready for a busy few days coming up.
So this loki has completed his house & family. He’s trying to get the perfect Instagram pose right. He knows Thor will mock him but he is very very proud with his little house & family, he’s baked. Not once did he use magic. He smiles at the photo is take truly proud.
“Loki, come on baby” you say. “Everyone’s gonna eat this we don’t need…”
“Yes we do” your Loki is a perfectionist, as he drops each gummy on the roof. He’s on his 3rd candy cane, he’s eaten burnet gingerbread, but he wants it to be perfect. “I want everyone to remember our gm gingerbread display baby”
“Well it makes you happy so keep doing it baby”
This Loki is fully festive. He knows his house is far too big but he wants your kids to build their own in the morning as a Christmas Eve tradition. Making his big & having some spare bits will help them when they make theirs. You did laugh as he tried to make a tree out of fondant. He giggled too as he dropped food colouring down his festive jumper. He lifts his head up watching you wrap presents at the same time across the table from him. As you suck your own candy cane his eyes light up. He knows you might want to suck something else later.
Loki cant decide which of the gingerbread men he’s made to leave out for Santa. Trees, Shes Hes Theys Thems Is. Yes all the cookies in the world. He made a small house too, but he’s loved the icing process. He keeps changing his mind. He’s tempted to leave them all out for Santa to prove how good a boy he really is.
Thanks for the views peoples. May you all have an amazing week be you celebrate Christmas or not. All feed back is welcome
This week Loki is after something quick & easy so this week Loki is making pizza. Oooh so delicious this is going to be fun .(I have no idea why the cheese is in a bottle by the way)
Ooh it’s pepperoni, but our man has so many ingredients. He smiles as the radio plays his favourite songs as he gets ready to put the pizza in the oven. He likes precision he’s made sure that each slice when he cuts it in 15mins time will have at least 3 & a half pieces of pepperoni.
Loki concentrates. So much cheese. More cheese than any other topping.
“But that’s how you like me baby” he says as he smirks as you try to watch the tv in the background while you lay the table but all that’s got your attention is those hands being so delicate, scattering the cheese, ready for this to melt in your mouth later.
Loki is having an emo moment. Rock music playing in those headphones, which you have to disconnect the Bluetooth from to get his attention. You lean over the counter & remove his glasses too befor you kiss him.
His only words to you once you both break from your long kiss is “you taste more delicious that this pizza ever will baby”
Loki doenst care that he’s pouring cream on his pizza. He’s doing it to get a rise out of you. He’s smirking knowing you will role eyes & scoff at him. He knows you’ll run in & screech what the heck are you doing. But he also knows you’ll get close to him. He’s got a romantic moody playlist on too. It won’t be long before he’s holding you close, laughing like a mad man ready to take you fully in your arms & make out with you as you dance to the next song. The only raise of his eyes is when he hears the front door open. Your home, so the fun for the night can begin.
Who doesn’t love a pie? Sweet, savoury, home made, on the terraces before the football kicks off. All of those are amazing & it’s now cold & we need comfort food right now.
Loki isn’t sure how to share this first pie. His custard is glistening & his latte is nice & hot for him to drink. But he can hear the purring behind him. They can smell it & are hoping to scoop up the crumbs themselves. You walk in & hand loki a knife. “I know you’ve given the knives up baby, but we need a clean slice each”.
This Loki is ready to put this pie in the oven. But he looks concerned. Why is he adding cream now? Has he missed something. Even the cat looks concerned. It rolls its eyes as loki says outloud the recipe for the 3rd time in 2minutes. It’s only after the 5th time that loki realised he is wearing his mother’s apron.
Two pies for loki. Both steaming hot. Both crisp. Both smelling the room so much. He’s just trying to help the steam out before he takes them to the table. You get the cutlery to set the table to eat pudding. “Smells delicious loki” you say. “I hope so” he replies “I hope it’s as delicious as me”. “Nothing is as delicious as your lips loki… well except your custard”
This final loki doenst want to dish his pie up. It’s Instagram ready. The little smirk says it all. He’s proud. He doesn’t actually care if when you start eating you don’t like it. He’s just proud he has made all of this from scratch. His apron maybe a mess but it’s all been made of love. Even the cat is standing away, it knows not to mess with Lokis creation.
Thanks as always for the viewing peoples. I hope you are enjoying these.
So it’s properly autumn/fall now. Everyone’s clocks have changed. It’s dark. It’s cold & we all want to eat big nice warm comfort food. So let’s have Loki cook us up some nice yummy soup this week. Properly make us feel at home.
Loki is trying to make the soup, he really is. But looking at the Jet Ski book reminds him of Mobios. He sigh as he looks at the new crafts thinking about how happy his friend is on the water. That he neglects to see that a rabbit has hopped into his kitchen to steal all his ingredients.
“I mean” Loki says as the rabbit looks at him “I have magic & I didn’t even have to pull you out it a hat, what kind of god does that make me?”
This variant lives a much more simpler life than the other one. But he likes to remind himself that he is king & wears a crown with his little loki mascot. In blue to cement his frost giant origins. But as Loki trys this soup he realises that the cabbage is a bit to over powering.
“No seasoning in the world will save this, but at least it’s my 5 a day”
Bucky has arrived at this Lokis house. He’s taken the Jet ski magazine to read because loki is trying to make the soul out of all the the vegetables in the world.
“Maybe your should taste it” Bucky says.”dip some bread in” he’s expecting Loki to slice it but no. In the whole loaf goes. “Seriously?”
“You said dip the bread in it”Loki replys & they both tut & laugh.
This final Loki is proud of his creation. All those carrots & leaks packed into his fresh soup. He sniffs smiles & slurps at it.
“That. That is good soup” he chuckles to himself. But then he sees his pet cat come in & start to put. “No mousey” he says & the cat looks confused. “Have your own cat food on the floor, go,GO!”
