aAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I AM LITERALLY SPRAWLED HERE SILENTLY SCREAMING AND ALSO SOMEHOW NOT BREATHING AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE IT'S BUTT O'CLOCK AND I HAVE TO BE QUIET AND THEY DID ANOTHER ONE PIECE NOODLE CUP COMMERCIAL WITH NAMI AND IT TORE MY HEART TO ITTY BITTY LITTLE PIECES OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAAAAAAAAAABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
also if you are too busy WAILING DEEP INSIDE YOUR SOUL AND WIPING AWAY TEARS to get all the countless BEAUTIFUL REFERENCES IN THESE THINGS, this youtube lovingly points out ALL SORTS OF STUFF (also giant spoiler warnings, just so you know <3 I thiiiink the commercial itself is more or less safe, but the analysis goes a little more into detail)
oh man i just realized one day they're gonna do a Brook commercial and my soul will ascend to noodle heaven labooooooon
i seriously wish they had that brand in the US, this is one of the very few times i would legit buy a product just because of the commercial. those are so well produced and packed with references!
Somebody on twitter mentioned the idea of HP restoring meals and a list instantly popped into my head: Eggdrop soup with rice and sriracha Cauliflower rice with korma and sriracha Miso soup Pumpkin pancakes Apple cinnamon oatmeal with extra diced apples and walnuts and maple syrup @Mercury 's baking, all of it @Vast Derp 's chicken cashew curry, steak kabobs, kitchen sushi, winter soups, and tempura @jacktrash 's pumpkin custard, ooooh my gooooood Barb's shepherd pie The veggie Russian dumplings at Pel'Meni's in Bellingham (GOD I MISS THOSE SO MUCH) The blackberry scones from the Blackdrop Coffeehouse in Bellingham (I miss those so much that I have actually had repeated dreams where I try to get one and for some reason I never can. If I was a character in a videogame, I would have those in my inventory next to the coffee and @Mercury 's cardamom cookies.) That roasted veggie + gouda sandwich at the hippie store that costs like six bucks and is SO TOTALLY WORTH IT What are some of yours? :D
..... oat+apple scones a well as fruit bread with salted butter i think. Any kind of fresh bread tbh? I am a very simple creecher
Bean + bacon soup made with homemade stock instead of water Hearty chili with chipotle peppers in it @paladinkit's mushroom pie Seconding the miso soup, nom Grilled cheeeeeese
Ooo, Kai, I should try making the mushroom pie into hand-pies! My hp-restoring foods (and drinks): Grilled sandwiches (esp croque-monsieurs, apple-garlic grilled cheese, and those double grilled veg sandwiches I lost access to the recipe for) P much any soup made with homemade bone broth Bacon Most varieties of aged cheddar Belgian waffles with strawberry syrup Amasu-zuke Raspberry iced tea There's probably more but that's what comes off the top of my head
Some of mine: Cheesy pasta of any sort. Mac n cheese, cacio e pepe, the cheese ziti at Olive Garden, anything. Mashed potatoes with lots of nice gravy! Relatedly, a weird College Kid thing that my family calls “gruel.” Instant mashed potatoes mixed with cup ramen. Pure comfort food. Pumpkin cream cheese muffins, preferably heated up juuuust enough for them to be extra moist. The cinnamon buns from the donut shop near me! They’re gooey and full of cinnamon and utterly wonderful. Also caffeine restores my mana.
pumpkin soup made with chicken stock, lots of garlic and pepper, then after you puree it you sprinkle chives and cheese on top as if for potato soup. in addition to restoring hp, this cures hypothermia, lycanthropy, and ennui. in related news, i just put some pumpkin in the oven to roast. guess what i'm doing with it. :D
What would happen if I subbed soy sauce for garlic for umami spice goodness? Asking for a friend who is hated by garlic. (That friend is me) HP restoring: Hot Chocolate, Ice cream, Any soup made by that one indian place that does delivery here.
oh god i think friday's cursed all the lawn sprinklers came on the second i walked home EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM and now my clothes are all wet and then when i got home i stepped in a single dainty kitty poo X(
some good good hp restoratives hot cider (fall) hot cocoa w/ a peppermint teabag and a cinnamon stick dipped in honey (winter) frozen lemon cake (spring) hawaiian ice w/ juice instead of syrup (summer) scrambled eggs w/ a glob of cream cheese, cooked low and slow so its smooth and creamy tater tots w/ fresh rosemary & marinara spaghetti alfredo w/ sausage instead of chicken jasmine rice with an ungodly amount of parmesan cheese added while the rice is hot enough for the cheese to melt and the guilty pleasure: just a spoonful of peanut butter big enough to gum my mouth shut (its like the taste equivalent of blocking out an uncomfortable amount of noise by playing one song really loud)
HP restoring food items: New England clam chowder. Even just the canned stuff. Spicy miso ramen M A N G O. Just anything mango Especially mango boba Or those little mango candies with chili oil inside Coffee Pumpkin anything. Pumpkin spice also good, but actual gourd preferred. (I was one of the people who liked Starbucks PSL BETTER when they started putting real pumpkin in) Pumpkin cheesecake is a full restore though Egyptian licorice tea Blackberries
