Ari!! I saw your tags about your f/os cooking for you and I’m curious 👀 Do Ryuu or Rohan have any dishes that they make together with you or specific things they like cooking for you? I know you said Rohan’s more of a savory cook and you bake. Do the guys have favorite things that you make, baked goods or otherwise? 🥰 - Laur
Oooo @whoreiaki-kakyoin thanks for the ask!
I think we like being in the kitchen together, dividing prep and just chatting or listening to music while we work on making dishes together. I think we just pick recipes and then delegate tasks until we're all done! Stuff like omurice, marinated skewers, lots of protein for muscles and fresh fruits and cooked veggies <3
Fish!! His specialty canonically is fish!! I think he also likes making japanese curry a lot bc he'd be used to making it for his mom and brothers for a quick weeknight meal. I think he also likes pickled things for gut health (because he has to model so often), so he likes things like cucumber salad or pickled radish etc.
Breakfast muffins he can take to share with Gaku and Tenn and Anesagi (or Momo and Mitsu in sports club)!! He likes the chocolate chip ones (bc I like them!) but also requests blueberry ones with streusel topping. He also really likes monster cookies once I made a batch for him. It's definitely a more american thing, but he likes the oats and peanut butter combo! :D
Have you seen the couple cabagges on tiktok cooking?? that's totally us. Just a relaxed warm vibe making meals together. He's not super talkative and we're both focused on tasks, but sometimes we'll just nudge each other or put a head on shoulder and that's enough.
Again, very japanese meals like curry or teriyaki chicken or katsu, but he also likes when I make american stuff like mac and cheese or random midwest stuff like jello pretzel salad.
Mentaiko pasta. iirc Araki talked about it in an interview once??? I would have never eaten it before I lived with him, but I think I would give it a try for him. Because he's working on manga a lot, he likes to make easy to grab snacks like onigiri with spicy mayo and tuna!
Oddly enough, he likes ginger/molasses cookies with tea a lot! He also likes homemade popsicles a lot because they're easy to grab and refreshing. Any nerdy cooking like my dun/meshi stuff he loves to sample and supports me cooking anime stuff for fun <3
