Bagel with Hot Cocoa or Dreamling Midnight Snack from Such a gorgeous sight by @dsudis
Also for Dreamling Week Thursday: Midnight Snack
I was really disappointed that I couldn't do anything for Dreamling Day because I'm in the middle of an online conference week and had to make sure all my presentation materials were ready. But I was definitely going to do something for Thursday: Midnight Snack because food. I first thought of making an original Dreamling snack, but I remembered this fic where they have bagels and hot chocolate. So as soon as my presentation was over, I started to prep the dough right in my study, while the rest of the online conference was going on! My camera was off, of course! 😂
This is also the first time I made bagels but I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. The toppings are: Arctic sea salt, turbinado sugar, poppy seeds, and plain.
Here are some excerpts from the story:
"I'm hungry," Dream said with a sigh. "I can't get back to sleep."
"Mm," Hob said, squeezing him around the shoulders. "Want something warm?"
Dream followed Hob to the kitchen, where Hob immediately went to the refrigerator for milk and then located a saucepan. "Cocoa?"
"Yes, please," Dream said, considering the possibilities for a solid snack to accompany it. He spotted the paper bag on the counter, holding the last of the bagels from the Proper Bagel Place Hob had taken him to a couple of days ago...
He looked over at Hob with a smile and said, "Bagel?"
Hob grinned. "Yes, please."
Dream took the last one out of the bag and cut it just as neatly as the first, and then placed all four halves in the glass-fronted toaster oven.
The stillness of waiting soon turned into a dance of practicalities—getting out the toasted bagels as Hob stirred chocolate into the heated milk. Dream hissed and stuck a burned finger into his mouth but got on with distributing butter and cream cheese onto the bagel halves while Hob was pouring cocoa into mugs.
They sat together on stools drawn up to the kitchen bench, shoulders pressed together, eating and drinking in silence.
Alright, this was my entry for Dreamling Week. I'm going to try reading all the fics and see all the art now! And hope to make new recipes soon!
