Pasta

 

𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓒's curry pasta. Yum.

Prompt:

The delicious blend of spices in the tomato paste, the cheese and the filling pieces of potatoes in the fusilli fuelled their spite to be witty and argue harder, more efficiently to crush the opposition. Who even says that?! People needed to do their research before they start speaking because of course anyone can make a point, but is it valid? Hahaha no. ~Written by 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓓

Burnt giant heart macaron

 

𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓐 and 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓑's failed giant macaron, baking with them is always an experiment so who knows what really happened that day.

Prompt:

The scent of vanilla and ambition hung in the air. Their mission? To create the ultimate masterpiece: a giant heart-shaped macaron. Armed with an online recipe and a dash of misplaced confidence, they decided to gather their ingredients: powdered sugar, almond flour, egg whites, vanilla extract, and a pinch of delusion. They whisked the concoction all together, making stiff peaks, and folding the flour into the meringue; the batter was ready for piping. Technically, a baking tin isn't meant to be used but they needed this heart to be perfect, beautiful, amazing, everything, void of any imperfections. Undeterred by their total disregard for the macaron codes, they put their creation in the oven. They wait in anticipation for the sugary-sweet scent to overtake the kitchen air, unaware of the growing scent of impending disaster till too late. "Oh my god, oh my god oh my god", they took out the tray from the oven, "ohmygodnononononono", and placed it on the kitchen counter. It was heart-shaped (yes), burnt (yikes), crisp (not the good kind) and sunken into the mould. "It stinks!" they voiced to no one in particular, flipped out their phone, took a picture and grieved to their friends about the heart macaron with a tragic backstory. ~Written by 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓓

Vanilla ice cream with kinder bueno and hazelnuts

 

𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓒's 1st choice in ice cream, vanilla with delicious kinder bueno, definitely worth the wait in that long long long long queue.

Prompt:

They've been here for hours, the line is long behind them so they can't even leave. They're tired and hot and sticky and maybe they should just give up. But finally, finally, finally! The people in front move and they reach the front of the line and take their order. Then they took their first bite- a harmonious blend of creamy vanilla, nutty chocolate, crisp wavers and crunchy hazelnuts. ~Written by 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓓

Vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup, peanuts and gulab jamun

 

Yum, but 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓒's first choice is better in their opinion.

Prompt:

The ice cream was perfect, perfect for the tropical weather. The humidity allowed for the freshly made, soft gulab jamun's texture, and the classic vanilla ice cream's soft, refreshing taste to mix to form a beautiful new flavour; one that they won't be able to find anywhere else. ~Written by 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓓

Carved pumpkin heads

𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓑 decided to take their chances, with a bored partner, they might as well show them how to have a fun time carving that pumpkin on their own!

Prompt:

They're buzzing with a knife in hand, they chose a cute pumpkin design, safe and easy. But as they gut out the pumpkin, they start thinking of the funny-but-meant-to-be-scary pumpkin cartoon designs: a set of comically large eyes with a matching sharp grin. 'Huh', they thought, 'I could... do that' and so they do. Resulting in jagged lines that come together in a facial expression they're really proud of, even when put side-to-side with the other pumpkin heads. So when they take the pumpkin home, they give the head the photoshoot it deserves, with the lights off, the red lighting, it truly became a work of art they'd feel confident in sharing. And immediately upon first look, one of their friends is mesmerised, so much so they set the pumpkin head as their wallpaper, and then suddenly scared because the eyes burned into the back of their mind to the point they delete it on the spot.  ~Written by 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓓

Human heart and floating island

 

𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓑 is not a big fan of their ink-tober drawing, they think it's meh so far. They also ruined their finger randomly 👁👄👁. But they are proud of the anatomical heart.

Prompt:

I want to do it do it do it do it doitdoitdoitdoit. They really want to join the challenge, but what should they draw? They talk themselves down from their racing thoughts and decide to sketch a sandy waterfall cascading onto a floating island in their favourite colour: green. That is the colour they associate with the natural soothing effect drawing has on them. Now, all they had to do was outline with their favourite tool: an inky black pen, adding details, veins and shallow shading that hit the spot just so. It really put the look together, but the lines weren't perfect, nor were their thoughts, maybe it's the inky mess on their finger that they didn't notice happened, but one thing's  for sure: they're not a fan. But hey, at least they have a pretty heart, and it's what's on the inside that matters right? ~Written by 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓓

A charcuterie board and garlic bread

 

𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓓's sibling mostly made this and 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓓 helped.

Prompt:

Flowers are pretty but you don't usually eat those. But this, this was perfect and easy! All they had to do is grab a glass, lay each of the Spanish turkey chorizo on the circumference of the circle, folded, with half of the chorizo slice in the glass and the other half out. Continue until there is no more space and then flip the cup an et voilá! A beautiful rose, now all that's missing is its pollen-a baby pickled onion in the centre. They were perfect to enjoy with grissini (crispy breadsticks), olives, cheese and strawberries; so they dove in and left you out ;). ~Written by 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓓

A plate of roast chicken, rice, potatoes and spicy mint sauce

 

𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓒's yummy roast, do you guys like it?

Prompt:

After an uneventful day of work, work, work, work while sick, they decided to steam off the weekly stress by making something nice: roasted chicken and potatoes. The rice was a given-plenty to find in the rice cooker of the household, and the spicy mint sauce is something they make often. They gather some green Thai chillies, and fresh mint from the garden, chuck them in the blender, along with a dash of coriander, a pinch of salt and a little bit of water and blend it all. In the end, all they have to do is add yogurt, but recently, with the increasing workload and chance of burnout looming over their every move, they improvised. They realised that they could just freeze the spicy paste in plastic Ziplock bags and therefore store it bulk! Now, satisfied, they get to finally enjoy a warm meal while watching and listening to the screams from the cast of 'The Nun' on their laptop with-of course, friends on the line to chat to. ~Written by 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓓

A jar of paper stars

 

Looks full but when 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓐 shakes it, it still makes noise😔.

Prompt:

In the dreary British weather, a person sat cross-legged on a faded rug. Their eyes stopped focusing on folding their laundry, preparing dinner and finishing their work a long while back. The only thing in the front of their mind being folding the miniscule paper squares, creasing it just so, until it transformed into a tiny pentagon. The edges met seamlessly, as they overtook every nook and cranny of their thoughts. ~Written by 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓓
