comfort food soup recipe!
this is my chicken and veggie soup that is the equivalent to a warm hug
makes like six ish portions idrk as leftovers just get eaten in my house
Ingredients
4 chicken thighs (skin on)
1 large onion
2 medium carrots
Some celery
Lots of garlic
Chicken stock (cubes are fine)
Potatoes (3 or four decently big ones)
Salt and pepper and some sort of dried or fresh herbs (dried oregano or thyme is good, as is rosemary)
optionals extras if you have them in your fridge (I put these in if stuff needs using up):
Sweet potato
Pancetta / bacon
Peppers
Beans (canellini beans or butter beans are great here)
other random fresh herbs you definitely remember buying that are definitely not dead and sad
Instructions
fry the chicken skin! start it on a low heat and a little bit of oil and then let the fat render out until you have crispy golden chicken skin. this is delicious crumbled on the soup, not that it ever gets to mine due to my partner/ housemates eating it first
cube up the chicken and add it to the hot pan with the rendered chicken fat and fry it until it's nice and golden and you have fond. don't worry if it isn't fully cooked you just want colour here, and remember to season with salt and pepper
add your diced veggies - onion, carrot and celery (aka everything but potatoes) and gently sautee in some oil and a good pinch of salt (pinch means three fingers here) until soft and the onions are translucent, making sure you scrape up the chicken fond on the bottom of the pan (about six or seven minutes depending on how much veg you have)
add you garlic and dry herbs and any other flavourings and fry for another two minutes until you can smell it
add your diced potatoes and your chicken into the veg, and mix well. then add your chicken stock until everything is covered (maybe a litre or so?) and leave to simmer for at least half an hour, and then until the potatoes are fork tender and it tastes amazing

3 ships:
Joe x Nicky from the old guard. I watched this movie and then made all of my friends watch it too. I just loved how woven into the story their relationship was. TLDR: I just really like good representation (and also historical fanfic (crusades!!! Literally any other period after 1100 and it isn’t an AU!!!))
Amy Pond x Rory Williams (do they have a ship name? I should probs find out). I just.... love the Ponds. So much. 11 was my first doctor and to this day they are my favourite companions and I love them both and i love their relationship
Tessa x Will or Tessa x Jem from The Infernal Devices. Both god tier ships. The Victorian setting.... the angst,,,,, the absolute unconditional love!!! Especially when they are older and all the kids just look at them and go yes,,, I want that.
Last movie I watched:
The corpse bride! It was really good actually I am a big fan
Last song I listened to:
Either Breathe from In the Heights or Mad Woman from Folklore. I am a big musicals person and also a Taylor Swift fan in amongst the rock and alternative stuff.
Currently watching: The mandalorian! I love the angsty mandalorian and his cute little baby. I’m about to start season two tonight!
Currently reading: Ysabel by GGK. Oo boo I am invested it has history and drama and suspense and throwback slang and also magic so yeah it contains a great many things I like!
Currently craving: either chocolate or human contact. It’s fine schools on Monday so I’ll get hugs off my friends then!
Rules: Tag 9 people who you want to know better/catch up with and then answer these questions. I was tagged by @hlmoorewrites (BTW, I can't wait to read your books)
3 Ships: Rory and Jess from Gilmore Girls. Look, I get the love for Dean but he was never smart enough for her and broke her heart three times; once because she didn't say "I love you" after 3 months and needed some time to sort through everything (kind of like she always does), once because of her feelings for Jess (and okay, I cant fault him for that) but the last time was because of his inferiority issues and I can't stand that. And teice it was in front of a ton of people! He wasn't a good boyfriend. And I hate that Lorelai thought he was because he helped her out so much. I hate that Rpry never saw him for what he was. I mean, even the whole fight between him and Jess was started by Dean. And his whole "I don't have to be nice anymore because I'm not with her but you can't do shit because you are" speech to Jess just made me want to watch Jess hit him. And Logan sucks in ways I don't have to explain. But Jess......he loved her. And yes, he hurt her while he was growing up, but he got better and he apologized and he stood there, beside her, as her friend every time. He helped her get her life back on track after Mitchum destroyed her. Hes got the same love of books, the same taste in music, the same quiet resolve, and he's just perfect for her.
Harry Dresden and Karrin Murphy and I will never forgive Jim Butcher for what he did. Ever.
Eliot Spencer and Damien Moreau from Leverage. Not for any good reasons. Only for the fact that they would be a great destructive force. And I really enjoy the idea of those two tearing apart the world together. I also get a small thrill from the thought of Eliot clawing his way out of hell. Its fun.
Last Song I listened To: Valerie by Ghost of the Robot. James Marsters can sing
Last Movie I watched: wow, you picked the best moment because I haven't wanted to watch anything but movies post gilmore girls. The last one was Riddick, as I ended that trilogy and following on the heels of the Fast and Furious Franchise (except parts 2-4, I couldn't care less for them, and if you're noticing a running theme here, its Vin Deisel. One of my favorite actors because realism be damned is what he does best)
Currently Watching: um......nothing. I just finished Riddick and hadn't gotten around to watching something else. I think I'm gonna re-watch Newsroom by Aaron Sorvino. I'm in the mood for feel good and quick witted.
Currently Reading: Rodham by Curtis Sittenfield, The Last Guardian by Eion Colfer, Harleen the comic book, Minion by L.A Banks and Revan. Im just......bouncing back and forth a lot.
Currently Craving: mental stimulation of a sort. I'm bored but on a mental plane. I wanna do something. Don't know what it is yet.

TLOU Advent fic #16 for @elpickett
Ellie paused. “If all the seas were dried up, what would Neptune say?”
There was a confused beat. “What?”
“If,” Ellie repeated, slower, “all the seas were dried up, what would Neptune say?” She looked up, a gradual, smug smile spreading across her face.
Joel sighed and rubbed his eyes. He wasn’t so quick at picking up when she was joking around, or maybe she was just too good at disguising puns in regular conversation now.
“I don’t know. What.”
