Some character designs with some…atypical color choices? I guess. I don’t know what’s going on in that area.

This is Nimona and her supervillain friend (He doesn’t have a name yet, I’m working on that). Nimona is his sidekick/squire, they’re like the Batman and Robin of slightly Medieval villains, but she’s actually way more evil than him. He does what he does to make a point, and he doesn’t really want anyone get hurt - Nimona just gets a kick out of destroying stuff.

I’m going to attempt to make a two page comic with them? We’ll see how this goes.

you can’t really place all the blame for bad female character design on artists because a lot of that comes from higher up the chain of command, which is something I learned the hard way when a client had me draw breasts and eyelashes on a wasp so that it was obvious she’s a girl wasp

Op I’m so sorry but I had to immortalise the vision this post gave me

I can’t post the actual art here but it’s actually uncanny how close the second image is to what it looked like

Ruth Clark: The gift behind the recipes in church cookbooks

Church cookbooks are more than collections of recipes. They are collaborative acts of love.

Faith and Leadership

I collected vintage cookbooks for a long time before I fully appreciated what gems the seemingly ordinary church cookbook concealed. Behind the typed or handwritten recipes in each book isn’t a test kitchen or a culinary degree but something much more basic.

Decades of experience cooking for a family. Long nights spent preparing for church potluck suppers or charity dinners. The comfort that comes to the sick or the bereaved in the form of a warm, rich casserole or in the layers of a tall, fluffy cake served with a cup of coffee and much-needed conversation.

Church cookbook recipes haven’t been tested in a lab but tested on life. They are, quite literally, the best the congregation has to offer. Having a recipe included in the church cookbook is a point of pride. No one would contribute a recipe she thought was less than stellar.

The recipe titles reflect this, with names like “My Best Meatloaf” or “Edna Perkins’ Famous Chocolate Cake.” Edna Perkins would not think of sending in her second-best cake. She would send the recipe for her absolute best cake. The famous cake. The one that is going to sell cookbooks.

If you look even more closely at the recipes in any church cookbook, you will see that they are actually coded messages, telling us about the lives and times of the recipe authors and their congregations.

A book filled with recipes for gelatin molds, casseroles and orange drink scaled to quench the thirst of 500 reflects a congregation that loves a good potluck. Numerous recipes for cakes and cookies show a congregation with a talent for bake sales. Recipes “From the Parish Kitchen” reveal a pastor and spouse who invite others frequently to their home or give gifts of food. Ethnic recipes demonstrate congregants’ pride in their heritage. Recipes that are “My Best” or “Famous” show the generosity of members like my husband’s grandmother, giving gifts to the church that they wouldn’t give to anyone else.

A recipe seems like a little thing. You can get a recipe from virtually anywhere, especially now with the enormous Web presence of cooking sites, each putting hundreds or thousands of recipes at your fingertips. And when you make a church recipe, don’t you just end up with food?

It is almost always true that if you make a recipe from a church cookbook, you will end up with good food. But good, well-prepared food can also be found almost anywhere, whether you want a cupcake or a cheeseburger.

So why bother with a church cookbook? Because the uniqueness of the recipes in a church cookbook goes deeper than the quality of the food and deeper than the quality of the book itself. When you have a church cookbook, you literally have a piece of a congregation.

It may not have pictures, an index or even page numbers, but it offers you the love of the congregation. You get the talents and the pride of the parishioners in the titles. You will be a part of their lives when you open that plain cover and read the words they gave to their church.

recapitulation:

meal ideas!

low energy (“do not ask me to do any prep work at all, so help me god”)

• mozzerella cheese wrapped in pepperoni (“pizza tacos”!)
• hummus and pretzels or naan (putting the naan in the microwave for like 10 seconds…heavenly)
• canned chili (with shredded cheese and sour cream if you have it! boom done!)
• instant miso soup (warm and lovely!)
• cheese and cured meat, olives, canned fish, crackers, dried fruit, or whatever easy “charcuterie” type items you like
• alternate bites of apple and spoonfulls of peanut butter (mixing honey or chocolate chips to the peanut butter is my favorite)
• a “deconstructed sandwich”: bites of lunch meat, pickles, cheese, cherry tomato, etc (I love roast beef and white cheddar for this)
• yogurt and granola or fruit

medium energy (“I’ll boil water but don’t ask me to chop shit”)

• boiled eggs and fresh veggies (put a little salt on top of the eggs for pizzaz!)
• buttered noodles (take it up to level 10 and add roasted garlic; takes 30 mins in an oven, only one swoop of the knife required)
• baked potato with toppings (I like cheese, bacon, broccoli, green onion, and sour cream)
• quesadilla (add some canned beans, cilantro, or avocado!)
• pot roast (requires a lot of time but not a lot of actual work. I love it with peas!)
• cuban sandwich (bread, swiss, pickle, mustard, ham… my favorite thing to panini-ify by far)
• pan-fried tofu with scallion sauce (this sauce goes well with everything and tofu is no exception)
• pancakes or waffles! (I love mine with jam)
• ham, pickle, and cream cheese roll-ups
• fried eggs (with toast and lots of butter…so comforting)
• fruit smoothie (bananas, frozen strawberries, yogurt…or whatever!)
• I hate salad but could write essays on this copycat olive garden salad (throw it in a bowl! chopping required if you use onion)
• spaghetti (controversial maybe but angel hair > spaghetti noodles)
• pasta salad (olives broccoli fresh mozerella… those little mini pepperonis… yeah)

high energy (“I don’t mind chopping some things up!”)

• stuffed shells with spinach
• chicken and roasted garlic (oh my god…..one of my all time favorites)
• beef tacos (I like mine with cilantro and onion, and when I’m feeling especially high energy I love a tomatillo salsa)
• chicken alfredo
• tom kha gai (a thai soup and my absolute favorite! you just need access to galangal)
• lasagna! (freezes well and then boom! low energy meal for later)
• pad thai! (not as hard as you’d think, as long as you have access to tamarind paste!)
• potstickers! (this is a lovely group activity if you want to cook with housemates!)
• rice and beans
• bang bang shrimp (ogughfhgfuh I love it. you can also do bang bang tofu!)
• minestrone soup (so many nice veggies!)
• fried rice (put whatever you have on hand in there! broccoli, peas, carrot, and beef is my favorite combo)
• broccoli cheddar soup
• spring rolls and peanut sauce
• skewers (such as beef, onion, zucchini, bell pepper… you don’t need a grill, oven works!)
• roasted turkey with garlic parmesean asparagus
• pork chop with mashed potatoes

other tips:

• whenever you think of a meal you’d like to make, take 3 seconds to google search it, take a screenshot of the image results, and put it in a “food ideas” folder. instant visual menu!
• if you’re on instagram, there are a bajillion different recipe accounts that post videos! a few of my favorites: jipsoon_kitchen, eatwitzo, cordandthekitchen, chungeats, tiffy.cooks, two_plaid_aprons

This is all great!

I got this website from a nutritionist and it’s become my absolute favorite way to find new recipes. The search filter options are fantastic! Sorting by method really helps me because I think that’s what makes the biggest difference in how much energy you need.

And here are some other ideas for low/medium energy meals:

• Cottage cheese with crackers, fruits and/or veggies.
• Guacamole with veggies and/or tortilla chips
• Chickpeas/garbanzo beans with tzatziki. You could add rice, lettuce/spinach, and/or pita.
• Buffalo cauliflower with yogurt dip. You can roast or microwave the cauliflower, top it with hot sauce, and add bleu cheese or shredded cheddar on top.

what-even-is-thiss:

You shouldn’t date or become serious friends/partners with someone if you can’t stomach the thought of being stuck in a car or train with them for 16 hours.

Here’s my logic:

• You should be able to work together to solve unexpected problems like fixing a flat tire or getting lost in an unfamiliar station
• You should feel comfortable and safe enough around this person that you can sit in comfortable silence
• You should be able to keep each other interested and deal with each others boredom in a healthy way
• If you’re gonna form a long term partnership with someone you should probably be able to tolerate each other while locked in a small box for a few hours

These tags are hilarious even though I don’t think you intended them to be.

*pulls European closer* The most populous countries in the world are China, India, the United States, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, and Brazil in that order, with these seven nations alone making up 48.16% of the world population. You may note with the aid of a map that many of these nations are quite large, and would take several days of travel to go across either in cars or on boats. Almost half of the world’s population lives in places where you can travel in a cramped vehicle for days and still be within the country. Your worldview is limited and Europe is a tiny outlier in travel time and standards for international relations.
