Lake Lancaster for @wistfulsim’s bachelorette challenge!

Lake Lancaster

Goofball | Jealous | Foodie

Sexuality: Bisexual

-Grandparents were the founders of the Simlish Soup Company, a small restaurant chain based in Willow Creek. Lake however is not allowed in the kitchen for fear of her awful cooking skills. She almost burned her parents house down trying to make ramen when she was 14. It never got better.

-She’s fresh out of school, working as an accountant for the family business and would love to someday learn to make toast safely.

-She had a tough time in high school. Would get into fights all the time. Why? Don’t ask why. Teenagers can be dicks, who knows.

-She will do anything for the ones she loves. Family, friends, current squeezes. Lake is incapable of saying no if it helps someone out.

-Lake’s idea for a perfect date would be curled up on the couch, snuggled up in the dark with a bucket of popcorn watching a super scary movie. Her favorite thing about watching movies is seeing how others react to the scary parts. And DO NOT fast forward through the previews or there will be an argument.

-Her closet is an explosion of thrift clothing and she doesn’t have any particular type of style. She just wears what looks good on her that day. It may take 8 try ons, but she’ll figure it out and still be on time to everything. Really, how does she do it?

-Lake’s favorite season is Fall. She loves to take pictures of the leaves changing color and falling to the ground. In fact if she could support herself on just taking pictures, she’d quit her accounting job in a heartbeat. Photography has always been a huge passion of hers.

-She’s absolutely obsessed with music containing powerful lyrics. Jon Bellion, Twenty One Pilots, AJR, and Lukas Graham are some of her favorite artists at the moment.

-Lastly, when Lake is not doing massive amounts of paperwork or trying to keep up with her friends, she loves to just run the hottest bath she can tolerate and read a good paranormal romance in the flickering light of the 43 candles she lit in one room. Honestly how is she still alive..

Lake has never thought of doing a bachelorette challenge, but a friend told her to try something new so why not. Plus she has a chance to meet someone to maybe teach her a couple things about cooking? Or at the very least feed her? She’s hungry. Shes like.. always hungry. She’s also pretty competitive... But she really would love to meet some new chill people to talk about ghosts and video games with so bring on the socializing!

This is what i will cook for today a "Ginataang sitaw na may kalabasa", I just got that vegetable from the farm of my father in law, and the only thing I bought was coconut milk,

This one is a really easy recipe–it’s a mix of vegetables cooked in coconut milk that we call ‘ginataang gulay,’ I love to have this dish with some cooked rice for a really hearty and satisfying meal. Check out the really simple recipe below! Enjoy

Ginataang Gulay (Vegetables in Coconut Milk)

1 red onion, chopped,2 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped 

1 coconut milk (I used only the ginataang gulay attached in the picture )*

long beans (sitaw), chopped into 3″ long pieces

1/2 small pumpkin (kalabasa), cut into 1.5 inch cubes (makes around 4 cups of 2″ cubes) 

Steps: Heat a large pan or wok over medium high heat. Add 1 tbsp of oil and sauté the onions and garlic until aromatic. Add in the chili, if using, and sauté until lightly blistered, around 2 minutes. Afterwards, add in half of the coconut milk and vegetables. 

Add in the vegetables then leave to boil for 10-12 minutes until the vegetables are almost cooked through. 

Season with salt to taste
