Food ramblings...

Today, I made hassenpfeffer (rabbit braised in wine and vinegar) and of course I felt obliged to randomly blurt out (to absolutely no one) “Cook! Cook! Where’s my hassenpfeffer?!”  I’ve never made it before.  I discovered a portion of rabbit in my freezer and was wondering what to do with it.  That episode popped into my head, so I figured what the heck. lol

In the Bugs Bunny episode, where they show the cookbook that Elmer Fudd is looking up the recipe, it lists potatoes.  While I was looking for recipes for this dish, at no point did I ever see a recipe calling for potatoes. (For that matter, there were no carrots either.)

I did not use potatoes, but I did serve it over spaetzle.  It was delish - and better still! There are leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch! Yay me!

Later there is tapioca.  Had I been thinking, I should have made pfefferneuse. Only because in my head that seems logical given the “pepper” (pfeffer) in both.  But I didn’t.  I was inspired to make tapioca (from scratch) because my dad had thought he could maybe eat some earlier in the week.  But I also knew he probably would not feel up to it by the weekend, so I’m eating it in on is behalf.  Good thing I also happen to love it.

Miniaturizing desserts is something I’ve been doing for a little while now.  I started doing it when my dad found out he was sick.  I did it as something nice for him, and he really enjoyed it (my mom is diabetic, so she didn’t participate).  A little while back, he asked me to stop and it makes me sad. He’s terminally ill, and doesn’t really feel up to eating anymore.  I know that eventually our weekend desserts will be a fond memory I have of him, but right now it is breaking my heart, almost to the point where I don’t really feel like making desserts anymore.

I don’t want to talk about it more than that though. So.. anyway...

I don’t know where the hell the rest of this scene is going, but it’s been in my head for roughly a century in internet years, so here.

They flew.

It was scary, how they were able to step-slide-together like they’d been partners their whole lives. Prompto added it to his ever-growing list of Just Nobility Things. It was probably another Nobility Thing that they weren’t spinning out of control or knocking anyone over with how fast they were going and holy shit did Ignis just lift her like it was nothing? You’d expect Gladio to do something like that, but Ignis?

Any comments Prompto wanted to make died when he got a good look at their faces.

Prompto remembered that blank, hard look on Ignis’s face from way back when he’d started hanging out with Noct. It wasn’t so much as an expression as it was a wall against expression. I’m shutting you out, that face said. You’re not worth wasting emotions on.

So it was Just a Nobility Thing, too.

Prompto thought about Gladio with that expression and goosebumps appeared on his forearms. He thought about Noct with that expression and a knot of anxiety formed in his stomach. Any time Iggy or Gladio or Noct wanted, the thought came, unwanted as always, any one of them could...

Prompto forced himself to tap his foot in time to the music. Forced himself to watch Ignis’s feet step-slide-togethering because Prompto’s turn was coming up and he didn’t want to make a fool of himself. Forced himself to look at Gladio and Noct, who were looking around and grinning and not perfect dolls dancing in perfect time.

The tension died down into manageable butterflies.
