They sure are. I like this time of year, but it sure keeps you busy.

Oh, how about hotpot? I know of a pretty good place in midtown!

I also enjoy this time of year. There is a sense of serenity that arrives with the snow.

Hotpot would be delightful.


[It's a bonding activity!]

That's true. And as for holiday music goes, Christmas has more variety with the gigs, better tips, and less drama! Unlike... Valentine's Day.

[No one thinks of the hired violinist during V-day, baring witness to all that goes wrong]

Great! Here is the menu if you wanna look at it. I'll cover the soup bases and up to three of the ingredients you want to add.

[JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR MY LIZARD INLAW]

Oh dear.

[He can... imagine.]

That sounds generous to me. Do you have any dietary restrictions? I don't wish to order something if you cannot eat it.
fiddlestick: (headscratch)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2023-12-13 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
No dietary restrictions! Though... I admit my spice tolerance is a little on the weak side.

That's quite all right. [He knows how pale you are.] I'll have to introduce you to Sichuan cooking slowly, in that case.

[haha... hahahaha]

[Look Elliot know he's basic white boy-]

Introduce me slowly? What do you mean?
lapislazily: (◆ :thonk:)

[personal profile] lapislazily 2023-12-13 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Spice requires tolerance, and tolerance can only be found by eating very small amounts of the spice in question. If it means broadening your culinary experience, I'm happy to cook for you.

Thankfully, not all Sichuan cooking is spicy. Once you are familiar enough with the basic ingredients, a little heat shouldn't pose a problem.

[Elliot doesn't respond right away. This is reading enough like his dad's attempts to change his opinions that Elliot is having a moment.

A moment where he's considering committing acts that wouldn't be considered in the spirit of the holiday season. ]

[Okay, no. Breath. Count to ten. Remember the thought exercises your therapist has been drilling into you. Zhongli means well and Jusis sees him of family. Just think of what Jusis would want.]

That's a very kind offer. I'd love to try some of the less spicy Sichaun dishes, at the very least!

[Oblivious to the daddy issue angst, he continues on.]

I hope you enjoy them. Huaiyang cuisine is very nice for the winter, so I'll have to bring over more soup soon.

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2023-12-13 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Please it's not angst it's salt]

Haha, well I wouldn't turn down some soup in this weather! I know Rean would be thrilled as well, he's always been interested in learning and experiencing Asian cultures.

[He's a weeb sir]
lapislazily: (◆ this little zombie girl conned me)

[personal profile] lapislazily 2023-12-13 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
[So much salt that he could make a whole Jinhua ham.]

Ah, yes, that's right.

[He'd been a good student, back when... Zhongli still taught.]

You'll have to reintroduce me.
fiddlestick: (elliot132)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2023-12-16 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course! Rean is pretty easygoing with memory stuff, so I'm sure he won't mind at all.
