Just so you know, I haven’t forgotten about this blog! Just here to let everyone know that I’ll be starting a series of soups since it’s getting colder outside! So far I’m planning on Baked Onion Soup, Bacon Broth, Chilled Popoto Soup, and finally Fish Soup! It’s colder than Coerthas where I live so soup really hits the spot after a very chilly day .. .. ~ I’m really excited to work on the soups! 

Hello my darling munchie enthusiasts! I am so sorry this blog has been inactive lately .. I have been in a crazy stage in my life between a new job and trying to get my finances in order that I haven’t had any time for cooking lately! If it has been cooking it’s been putting dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets in the oven and waiting twenty minutes ;; BUT -- be happy and hungry because the hiatus is over and I’m back and ready for more!! There will be a regular schedule of recipes coming out weekly; the plan is to have at least two munchies a week for your viewing and cooking pleasure. Won’t that be nice ~ ? Days will be up in the air for now, but we’re going to get much more organized from now on! I’m sorry I kept you all waiting until now, but I never forgot about this blog -- not even once! 

I’m sure many people who are new to the kitchen are wondering a good place to start. Is it your utensils? Is it your knives? Well, it’s a bit of everything, but I have been cooking in everything from a house to an apartment to a college dorm room and despite broken dishes and worn cutlery, the one thing that has always carried my dishes over the edge has always been the pantry! so, what exactly goes IN a panrty? Obviously dry food, but when you’re cooking, there’s a very specific set of tool you should use. These are just the basics; things that everyone should have no matter what! Each pantry is different therefore requires different spices and sauces and soups but you should at least have:

kosher salt

black pepper grinder

garlic powder

chicken stock

vegetable stock

olive oil (i prefer extra virgin, but you can go with any grade)

another oil substitue such as sesame, grape seed or vegetable oil (some lists will say a kind of nut oil but i have an allergy so .. )

balsamic vinegar ( you can also have a bottle of white vinegar as well )

basil

oregano

tyme

rosemary

chili powder

nutmeg

soy sauce

flour

sugar (or sugar substitute) 

cornmeal (or some sort of breadcrumb whether its corn flake, panko or otherwise)

yeast

brown sugar

cocoa power

✗It wasn’t Kasumi who took godo’s family name but the opposite.

✗Kasumi started training in the ninjutsu arts when she was five: Wutai isn't a land that accepts weak leaders.

✗Her weapon of choice is a fan.

✗When she first met Godo she broke his nose. She is canonically married with him and while this blog is more than open to family bonds and friendships she will not seek romantic interactions with anyone.

✗Blog-wise she knows Yuffie as her little (one-years old) daughter. No signs of illness yet.

✗She believes in the Wutaia Faith and she will only accept Leviathan as a goddess.

✗She does look like an older version of Yuffie. With long hair and more curves- yet a ‘Yuffie’.
