There's something that makes me grin about a Benchie encountering a smiling sea creature. If at the same scale, it would be a kraken, no doubt. But how can anyone be fearful of such a cute octopus.
Giant peanut butter cookies
Tried out this recipe for peanut butter cookies today and they're cooling at the moment, so while they smell (and look) good, I don't yet know how they'll taste.
The only odd bit with this recipe was the cooling step for the browned butter, which took way longer than the 15 minutes estimated. I don't know if my fridge is underpowered or the recipe writer has a blast chiller, but it took closer to another 30 minutes to get to the consistency of softened butter.
Yes, that's only 6 cookies in a half-sheet pan. The entire batch is "only" 12 cookies, so ... I might have to insist my coworkers draw straws to see who gets a cookie.
What's your favourite design you've done? <3
😱😱 That's like telling me to pick my favourite child!!
... Cat-Niss, it's most definitely Cat-Niss. She's just so fun to doodle!
(some of these are earlier concept sketches that's why they look bad)
Just an adorable take on Katniss, especially the expressive ears!
It’s them your honor. You can’t tell me Katniss doesn’t head bonk him like this or that that’s not Peeta’s smug little grin

It really is endearing how Peeta is fleshed out and humanized more during Catching Fire, but it’s also the book where he’s peak hearthrob because Katniss falls so hard for him.
Compare the first and second book:
The Hunger Games
He’s introduced as a character that did something selfless who Katniss is really grateful to
Other than the conversation about his mom and staying true to himself (which I would argue is two of his most emotionally open points in the books) his interactions with Katniss are very amiable
He saves Katniss from having to share her story about Lavinia
The intent of his plan with the Careers was to protect Katniss and though it backfired a bit he mostly executed his plan to perfection and achieved his goal in the way he expected
Catching Fire
The book opens up with him being icy towards Katniss
He gets really angry to the point of throwing a lamp during the Victory Tour after he sees a man get shot
Gets withdrawn and cold during the three months of coaching for the Quell
Peeta even admits that his plan for the Quell seems like a long shot with the way Snow wants Katniss dead
Clashes with Katniss slightly more relative to their last games when he makes of fun of her for being pure and doesn’t gravitate towards the same victors she does because he’s being super pragmatic
There’s a subtext of Peeta being a little more ruthless than Katniss here for a bit because she doesn’t want to befriend people she may have to kill. Peeta doesn’t want to kill anyone either but he’s still willing to befriend people he plans to kill later
His pregnancy announcement does cause a lot of trouble but in the end it doesn’t achieve his goal of stopping the games
He fully fails to convince Katniss to not attempt to give up her life for him during the Quell
And all of these inklings of flaws are justified, he’s a traumatized seventeen year old boy who doesn’t even have a supportive family, but it does provide a different perspective from the first book. In the first book when Katniss’s view of the world is smaller, and it’s just them in D12 and the Games Peeta has this image as a kind merchant boy from a mean family who succeeds in protecting Katniss. Catching Fire makes the world so much bigger while at the same time giving Katniss a closer view of Peeta. Now the president is after them and they’re having to mitigate damage to protect people they care about. They’re losing any control they had, culminating in them being put in a death match again. Now the kind boy from a mean family who succeeds in protecting Katniss is still very kind but gets angry and withdrawn sometimes, is from a mean family that makes him think there’s no need for him, and has plans that are brilliant but do fail sometimes because he’s just a seventeen year old kid trying his best.
But from the narration of Catching Fire you wouldn’t know that because Katniss falls more in love with every page she’s with him.

when we consider if katniss was longingly thinking about how gale was "kissing another pair of lips" instead of hers, it is crucial to remember the context that supports this moment.
first, right before this, katniss sits with greasy sae at the breakfast table, asking about whatever happened to gale.
and when she learns that gale has accepted a job in district two, likely to never return to their sorry excuse of a town, she searches for any feelings of anger, hatred, or longing. only to find relief (mj, 381).
now it is very, very, very important that this "huh, where is my hunting partner/best friend" curiosity comes right after peeta comes back.
peeta, the boy whom she lamented was too far gone to ever come back to her (mj, 336). yet still, the boy she was waiting for (mj, 379). and the boy who stays with her (mj, 216; 312).
so of course, when presented with the boy who stays, her mind would turn to the boy who left.
because we need to consider is how differently katniss approaches peeta's feelings for her compared to gale’s. even in these last mentions of gale.
katniss, without even thinking about it, adores how peeta loves her and her alone. she feels foolishly at how special peeta finds her (thg, 301). how she is the only person to really make a lasting impression (thg, 304). so much so that she cannot imagine him loving anyone else, or that anyone could ever take that love away (mj, 179).
gale, on the other hand, does not give katniss the same bubbly excitement when talking about why he likes her romantically. because it all centered on him being jealous (mj, 196). and she appears let down that he has kissed many, many girls. the same way he kisses her (mj, 196).
in fact, most of katniss's narrative surrounding gale is centered on trying to make sure that he does not leave her. because she doesn't have a deep trust that he would stay with her in the end.
so when she is talking about how gale is kissing another pair of lips, it is almost as if she is confirming something she knew deep down.
that she is not particularly special to gale as a love interest. that he can easily move on from her. and that she is somehow easily replaceable.
and, again, it is so important to contextualize this entire moment as happening after peeta comes back to her.
her peeta. the boy with the bread. who has loved her since he heard her voice singing smooth melodies for the birds. and still loved her when she stopped.
who clawed his way back to her when he was conditioned to fear her. and who followed her back to the ruins of their old community.
so yeah, she throws out a sassy line, almost scoffing, about gale being able to move on so quickly from her.
and it doesn't even haunt her. doesn't even warrant a second thought. and why would it?
she has the boy who would never. and what a precious thing that is.
mockingjay everlark is so funny (if i don't laugh i will cry) because like, what do you mean that katniss is over here with ms. johanna mason (who she hated for 98 percent of catching fire btw) going, "oh, yes, take all of my morphling, you have gone through so much and i feel so guilty that i didn't" (mj, 220)
and then she is waving around middle fingers to peeta, "yeah, boo hoo, cry me a river. we all went through shit so don't act like you're special" (mj, 228).
is it just me, or does anyone else think it is a little insane that peeta, who literally died after touching a forcefield, is so quick to reach up to put his hand on the invisible wall that separates him from katniss and the jabberjays.
trying anything to comfort her as he is forced to watch the tortured look on her face.

Homemade no-churn mango ice cream, using mango puree from ripe mangoes. The missing spot in the muffin tin tray was for testing purposes, of course.
Pork bulgogi with onions
Pressure cooker on high for 10 minutes, quick release. Galbi sauce as marinade, with some extra soy sauce and apple jack. Extra broth is being saved in canning jars to use when cooking beans in future.
Not a fan of durian myself, but I do know how to pick and open one, if I do say so myself. Those who ate this one said it was a really good one, so I have to take their word for it.

First attempt at cooking rainbow on a cedar plank, oven baked at 350 F for about 25 minutes. Just a sprinkle of salt and a bit of avocado oil on the outside.
