meal ideas!
low energy ("do not ask me to do any prep work at all, so help me god")
mozzerella cheese wrapped in pepperoni ("pizza tacos"!)
hummus and pretzels or naan (putting the naan in the microwave for like 10 seconds...heavenly)
canned chili (with shredded cheese and sour cream if you have it! boom done!)
instant miso soup (warm and lovely! put tofu in it for protein!)
cheese and cured meat, olives, canned fish, crackers, dried fruit, or whatever easy "charcuterie" type items you like
alternate bites of apple and spoonfulls of peanut butter (mixing honey or chocolate chips to the peanut butter is my favorite)
a "deconstructed sandwich": bites of lunch meat, pickles, cheese, cherry tomato, etc (I love roast beef and white cheddar for this)
yogurt and granola or fruit
put frozen potstickers + frozen edamame in the steamer/rice cooker, chill elsewhere with a timer set, then boom
tortilla chips + canned refried beans + cherry tomatoes + cilantro + jarred salsa con queso (or warm shredded cheese on top of the chips in the microwave for 30 seconds)
bagel + cream cheese + lox
microwave scrambled eggs (add things like green onion, soy sauce, or anything else you like!)
cottage cheese and fruit (mixed together or just on the side)
bowl of shredded rotisserie chicken + buffalo sauce + a bit of mayo + green onion (use a kitchen scissors to cut them right in!)
medium energy ("I'll boil water but don't ask me to chop shit")
boiled eggs and fresh veggies (put a little salt on top of the eggs!)
buttered noodles (my go-to nausea meal, it has never failed me. ideas of things to add: frozen peas, imitation crab, roasted garlic)
baked potato with toppings (I like cheese, bacon, broccoli, green onion, and sour cream)
quesadilla (add some canned beans, cilantro, or avocado!)
pot roast (requires a lot of time but not a lot of actual work. I love it with peas!)
cuban sandwich (bread, swiss, pickle, mustard, ham... my favorite thing to panini-ify by far)
pan-fried tofu with scallion sauce (this sauce goes well with everything and tofu is no exception)
pancakes or waffles! (I love mine with jam)
ham, pickle, and cream cheese roll-ups
fried eggs (with toast and lots of butter...so comforting)
fruit smoothie (bananas, frozen strawberries, yogurt...or whatever!)
I hate salad but could write essays on this copycat olive garden salad (throw it in a bowl! chopping required if you use onion)
spaghetti (controversial maybe but angel hair > spaghetti noodles)
pasta salad (olives broccoli fresh mozerella... those little mini pepperonis... yeah)
stir-fried thai garlic shrimp (I like using the mini frozen salad shrimps, it's easy! use jarred minced garlic to avoid chopping!)
tuna mayo onigiri
slow cooker ribs
buffalo chicken wrap (or any number of other wrap options! shred pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to make it easier)
if your local grocery store sells pre-cooked gyro strips, that can turn into an easy wrap with store-bought pita & tzatziki with tomatoes and onions!
couscous and chickpeas
tortellini + pasta sauce + spinach
high energy ("I don't mind chopping some things up!")
stuffed shells with spinach
chicken and roasted garlic (oh my god.....one of my all time favorites)
beef tacos (I like mine with cilantro and onion, and when I'm feeling especially high energy I love a tomatillo salsa)
chicken alfredo
tom kha gai (a thai soup and my absolute favorite! you just need access to galangal)
lasagna! (freezes well and then boom! low energy meal for later)
pad thai! (not as hard as you'd think, as long as you have access to tamarind paste!)
potstickers! (this is a lovely group activity if you want to cook with housemates!)
rice and beans
bang bang shrimp (ogughfhgfuh I love it. you can also do bang bang tofu!)
minestrone soup (so many nice veggies!)
fried rice (put whatever you have on hand in there! broccoli, peas, carrot, and beef is my favorite combo)
broccoli cheddar soup
spring rolls and peanut sauce
skewers (such as beef, onion, zucchini, bell pepper... you don't need a grill, oven works!)
roasted turkey with garlic parmesean asparagus
pork chop with mashed potatoes
panang curry
chicken gnocchi soup (use store bought gnocchi or make your own if you have a high energy day!)
bibimbap (super customizable depending on what veggies you like best)
butter chicken
plus! things that have helped me meal plan:
whenever you think of a meal you'd like to make, take 3 seconds to google search it, take a screenshot of the image results, and put it in a "food ideas" folder. instant visual menu!
the concept of "meal prepping" makes me recoil but I've learned that it can simply mean preparing shredded chicken, boiled eggs, or some other simple protein that you can customize throughout the week. shredded chicken can turn into wraps, salads, pasta dishes, etc... you don't have to meal prep yourself into the same meal all week!
when I have difficulty working up an appetite, I'll scroll through my favorite restaurant menus! there might be some foods I can't make at home, but many times they're very simple to recreate because the ingredients are literally listed!

What to Expect | Chapter 12
previous part | masterlist | next part
Tumblr media
synopsis: It's your baby shower, and what is a baby shower without an unexpected guest (or two) showing up.
word count: 3.2k
warnings: pregnancy, cursing, canon character death, injuries, topgun shit, fighting, questions of paternity, unrequited love and some yearning
Tumblr media
It was two days after Jake’s phone call with his dad that he and Bradley had gotten released. You had told Jake that the two of you had reconciled, and he was happy for the both of you. He wouldn’t admit it outloud, but he could see how miserable the two of you were without one another. Jake had agreed to picking Bradley up from the hospital while you cleaned up his apartment for him to come home. Bradley might be in his thirties, but he still liked to live as if he was a freshman in college. His freezer had nothing but frozen pizzas and chicken nuggets in it. You went grocery shopping, cleaned his apartment, and put clean sheets on his bed. 
Jake wouldn’t tell you much about what had happened with his dad. From what you knew, Jake’s middle sister Anna (or Annie as everyone calls her) had told Jake’s mother Margaret about the photo on your snapchat. Margaret then, as Jake said “in a state of shock” told her husband George, who became furious. George was partially mad because he had just gotten done splitting up the will and trust to accommodate Annie and Charlotte's kids, and because you and Jake were unmarried. Margaret knew that the second the word got out around town about the young Seresin boy having a child out of wedlock, that they would be the talk of the town. George had told Jake that you two needed to get married and when Jake refused, George became irate and questioned the paternity of the baby. 
“Honey, we’re home!” Jake shouted as he walked through the door of Bradley’s apartment. 
“In the kitchen,” You called back. Jake and Bradley both walked through the door and Jake let out a low whistle. Despite the air being on, it was hot in Bradley’s apartment. You were wearing a tank top and shorts, your hair pulled up into a bun. 
“Hot mama,” Jake smirked. 
“Really dude,” Bradley smacked his friend’s chest. You chuckled and hugged Bradley, “Did you clean?” 
“Yes! And I cooked you a welcome home dinner,” You smiled and Bradley noticed the waffle iron behind you. 
“Chicken and Waffles?” Bradley asked and you nodded. He kissed the top of your head and then moved towards the fresh made waffles and fried chicken on the stove. You weren’t sure when the chicken and waffles tradition started, but it was a meal that the two of you always made when either one would come home. You smiled as you watched Jake and Bradley load plates up full of breakfast type foods and then got your own. 
“That's all you're eating?” Bradley asked you. 
“Can’t eat a lot without getting heartburn,” You said, “Also I need to keep my salt intake down. My ankles are starting to look like the stay puff marshmallow man.” 
Jake bursted out laughing and you glared at him, “Sorry. You look beautiful.” 
“Shut up,” You said and he nodded. 
It was like old times, the three of you sitting around Bradley’s kitchen table, eating dinner and listening to them telling stories about what happened on detachment. You felt at ease, and so did the baby in your belly. She still kept up with her kicking, feeling her move about ten times an hour. Jake’s favorite thing as of late as to put his cheek on your belly and feel her kick against him. The past two nights, Jake had fallen asleep with his face nuzzled into your belly. 
“So. . . have the two of you thought about names anymore?” Bradley asked. After dinner, the three of you had moved into his small living room. You sat on the couch with your legs outstretched and resting in Jake’s lap as he massaged your ankles. Bradley sat on the ground in front of you, with a bowl of popcorn in his lap, as you ran your hand through his curls.
“A couple,” You said, “Still stuck on a couple.” 
“Care to share?” 
“For some reason, Jake likes Bonnie.” 
“After Bonnie Tyler!” Jake objected. 
“Not gonna lie, I like it too, Bagman,” Bradley said and Jake gave you a look. 
“No,” You shot it down, yet again, “I really like Wren,” Bradley looked up at you with a smile, “Your mom had that wren house that looked like a little mansion, and I always loved it. She gave it to me after. . .” 
“I know,” Bradley said and squeezed your hand, “I like Wren.” 
You smiled and leaned your head against the back of the couch. You sighed in content, and closed your eyes, feeling comfortable in the embrace of your two boys. 
— — — 
“I feel fat.” 
“You’re not fat.” 
“I feel like it.” 
Jake sighed as he ran his hand down his face. You had been sitting on the bed in your bra and underwear for nearly an hour now, trying to find some excuse as to not go to the baby shower. Phoenix, Stephanie, and Alyssa had been working on this since the moment you found out you were pregnant. Penny let them use the Hard Deck. And from the sight of your parents kitchen the other day, you know that Stephanie has been baking for days. 
You had been looking forward to the baby shower, but now you were dreading it. You weren’t sure if it was because you were feeling the size of a bus, or if it was because your due date was weeks away. Some of your mom friends told you that it was during the baby shower that they realized that this was really happening. And as you were sitting half naked in your 36th week of pregnancy, you were realizing. . . this is really happening. In four weeks you were going to have to push a baby out. A baby that you were having with your ex. 
“I don’t want to go,” You pouted. 
“Baby, you need to go. Just for a bit,” Jake kneeled down in front of you, “The girls, your mom and Penny have been looking forward to doing this for you. And. . . we kinda need this baby shower cause we don’t have a lot.” 
Jake watched as your face went from a pout to full of anxiety, “Why would you tell me that, Jacob!? Oh my god, our crib isn’t even put together. Do you even know how to put the carseat in!? Holy shit we don’t even-” 
“Hey, hey, calm down, momma,” Jake ran his hands up and down your arms to calm you, “Breathe, it’s okay,” You nodded as you let out a slow breath through pursed lips, “I’m sorry for making you panic. Your dad, Dylan, Mav and the rest of the guys plan on building all the furniture after the shower.” 
“Promise me you won’t let Dylan put the crib together. I don’t trust his furniture building skills after the tree house disaster,” You said and Jake nodded. 
“I promise,” Jake says and helps you up from the bed, “Now, get dressed so we aren’t late.” 
You nodded and walked back into the bathroom to finish getting yourself ready, “Have your parents said anything?” 
“No,” Jake said, “They haven’t even reached out. I told Annie and Charlie about the baby. They’re a little pissed I didn’t say anything earlier, but they are sending a gift.” 
You actually liked Jake’s sisters. At first, you thought they were stuck up, and then all of you went out to a local bar back in Texas. You watched both of them go several rounds on the mechanical bull, and realized that they weren’t that bad. You actually got along better with Anna and Charlotte then you did with Gia. 
“You know. . . Doctor Carpenter can still do a DNA test if you want it done before-” 
“No,” Jake cut you off, and you bit your lip. The topic of paternity testing had only come up twice since the night of the phone call. Once the day Jake got released from the hospital, and at your last doctor's appointment. Both times Jake had shot down the idea of the test, not even wanting to entertain the thought of something his father suggested. 
“It might help patch things-” 
“I am not doing it,” Jake said, feeling his blood pressure start to rise. He took a deep breath and turned to face you, “I don’t want to give him any more fuel to hold over my head, and doing exactly what he wants is going to do that. I trust you, and I trust when you say that this is my baby. You haven’t given me any reason not to.” You nodded and Jake gently lifted your face up to look at him, “I love you,” He said and kissed your lips softly, “Go get dressed.” 
You sighed as Jake walked out of the room, leaving you alone with your thoughts. Neither one had talked about the weird relationship you had found yourselves in. You wanted to take things slow, to think about the newborn daughter you were about to have in less than two months, but your body also reacted to all the affection Jake was giving you. It was becoming harder and harder to stand your ground on the ‘just exes who get along’ thing. 
The dress you wore was a baby pink flowy maxi dress. You decided to put your hair back in a low bun, trying to get it off your neck. You told yourself that next time you get pregnant, it was going to be in the summer, so you didn’t have to deal with the hot summers of San Diego. It was the start of June, and you were dreading how uncomfortable you were going to be once July hit. Jake put on a pair of navy blue shorts and a white button up. It was an usual sight to see Jake out of his flight suit or dress uniform, but it was a good sight to see. 
— — — 
There was a bouquet of pink balloons tied to the outside of the Hard Deck, and you could see the parking lot full of cars. You were a little bit nervous about having a baby shower. You didn’t think you knew enough people that would come to one, but Alyssa and your mother assured you that you knew plenty of people who wanted to celebrate you and the baby. Jake parked his truck near the front of the building so it would be easy to load up gifts when the shower was over. 
“Ready?” Jake asked, looking over at you. 
“As ready as I can be at 36 weeks,” You sighed, “I am not wearing a fucking tiara.” 
“No tiaras, got it,” Jake nodded. 
Somehow, you got talked into wearing a tiara. But it was because Stephanie gave you puppy dog eyes and you didn’t want to deal with her pouting. You and Jake split up as you went and greeted guests who had come to the shower. You swore the Hard Deck was packed as if it was a friday night. You were surprised to see friends and family that you hadn’t seen in quite a few years. People that you worked with at your first school in Lemoore were there, your aunts that lived in Virginia flew in, even some of Jake’s academy friends and their wives came for the shower. It made your heart swell seeing so many people gathered to celebrate your daughter. 
“How are you feeling?” Bradley asked, sitting down next to you by a large table covered in gifts. 
“Overwhelmed, but there’s pickle wraps so I’m okay,” You said, popping a pickle wrap in your mouth. Bradley chuckled and looked down at his hands, “How are you?” 
“I’m good. A little sad.” 
“Why?” 
“Cause I know my mom would’ve loved to be here,” He looked up at you, his eyes wet with tears, “God, she would’ve been the first one to volunteer herself to plan this whole thing. Hell, she would’ve planned this and lil bug’s first birthday.” 
You smiled and rubbed your belly, “Remember my sixteenth birthday?” 
“How could I forget?” Bradley laughed, “She spent three weeks working on that cake, I swear. Remember prom my senior year?” 
“She really saved the damn day,” You shook your head. 
You were a sophomore in high school and Bradley had asked you to go to his senior prom with him. Carole had been battling cancer his whole senior year, and he had quit most of his extra circulars to take care of her. His friends had ditched him, girlfriends had left him, but you stuck by his side. Carole wasn’t about to let her baby miss out on normal senior year things, like prom. So Bradley asked you to go with him. Everything was perfect, until your dress ripped on the day of prom. You cried as you called Bradley and told him. He was all too prepared to just stay home and watch movies with you, but Carole wasn’t going to allow that to happen. She told you to come over and bring your dress. While Stephanie and your mother did your hair, and Ice helped Bradley fix his bowtie, Carole was stitching up your dress. 
“I have to tell you something,” Bradley said. You nodded and he took a deep breath, “I’m sorry to tell you on your baby shower, but I gotta do it soon rather than later.” 
“If you killed someone, I can’t really help you. Give me like nine weeks and I can help you hide-” 
“I didn’t kill anyone Bug,” Bradley laughed, “I uh. . . I met someone.” 
“You did?!” You gasped, “Like a-” 
“I met a girl,” Bradley smiled and scratched the back of his neck. You saw a blush creep across his skin as you squealed and clapped your hands in excitement. 
“Tell me more!” You said. 
“I met her the other day when I was shopping for a gift. I wasn’t sure what to get and Alyssa said babies can’t play with hot wheels.” 
“You got your dad’s gift giving skills.” 
“Hey!” Bradley shoved you playfully, “So I went to that baby store off of Grand, and I looked lost apparently. She came up to me and I made a complete fool of myself. Bug, you would’ve made fun of me for the next decade if you had been there.” 
“Did you use a pick up line?” 
“I might’ve,” Bradley answered and you bursted out laughing. 
From the other side of the bar, Jake watched your interaction with Bradley. He, of course, knew about the girl that Bradley had met several weeks back. Bradley had actually told Jake the other night about her, and asked him how to tell you. Bradley hardly ever brought girls home, simply because he really didn’t have a real home. He just had you, and your family. He was nervous to bring girls home because he didn’t want them to see him as damaged or having daddy issues. But Bradley could tell. . . this girl was different. Jake felt his heart warm at the sight of the two of you falling back into an old rhythm. 
“Well Bradley, she sounds like a really sweet girl,” You said, “I hope I can meet her soon.” 
“You will soon,” Bradley nodded, “She’s a good one.” 
“Well, if she can survive your dumb pickup lines, then I assume that she is.” 
“Oh whatever,” Bradley rolled his eyes playfully. 
“Hey,” Jake said, walking over to the two of you. He was wearing a pink sash that says ‘future daddy’ on it and he was wearing it with pride, “Phoenix told me to come tell you that it’s gift time.” 
“That’s my cue,” Bradley said, “Congrats, Bug.” Bradley pulled you in for a hug and kissed your cheek, before standing up from the chair. He hugged Jake before going to join the rest of the dagger squad in the back of the Hard Deck. Jake sighed as he sat down in the chair Rooster once occupied. 
“Are you ready to open gifts?” You asked Jake and he gave you a big, bright smile. 
“Of course I am,” Jake said, and rubbed his hands together, “Let’s do this.” 
Phoenix and Stephanie helped give you and Jake gifts to open. You were a bit overwhelmed by how many gifts you were given, but you knew that each and every single one of them was going to be put to good use. Jake looked like a kid on Christmas as he tore through gift bags and boxes, making sure to hold up the item that was inside. He loved the attention, and made sure to put on his best Vannah White impression in showing the gifts off. 
Your parents had given you the rocking chair that was given to your mother from Grandma Kazansky. Phoenix and Alyssa gave you a collection of Doctor Suess books. Bob, Fanboy and Payback all went in on getting onesies, each of them saying that they were the favorite uncle. You were even surprised that Stephanie and Gia gave you a gift, which were matching pajamas for you, Jake and the baby. 
“This one doesn’t say who it’s from,” Stephanie said, handing it to you. 
“Oh, that’s mine,” Rooster said, and you looked up, smiling at him. You should’ve known it was from him by the Hawaiian pattern wrapping paper. You tore the paper off, and took the lid of the box off. You felt your breath catch in your throat as you looked down at the blanket inside. 
“What is it?” Jake asked, looking over your shoulder. 
“I-I,” You sniffled and looked up at Rooster, “My parents swore we lost this when we moved from Virginia. Where did you find this?” 
“It was in a box of things that I saved from Moms,” Rooster said, scratching the back of his neck, “She must’ve found it, and fixed it up, and I tucked it away in a box when she passed.” 
You pulled out the pink and white baby blanket that was inside the box. It was once yours, and you drug it around everywhere you went. Carole actually started calling you ‘Linus’ for the way you always had your blanket with you. It had been through the wringer, it had holes and tattered sides, but it looked like Carole Bradshaw had worked her magic and fixed it. You wiped a tear from your cheek as you looked at the stitching in the corner of it. 
‘To Bug, I’ll love you forever, like you for always. As long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be’ 
You hugged the blanket to your chest and smiled at Bradley. He didn’t say anything but just nodded, understanding what you were saying without you having to verbally say anything. Jake put his hand on your thigh and squeezed it. You looked over at Jake, and then leaned in to kiss his lips. 
“That was the last of them,” Stephanie said. 
“Okay,” Jake said, and then stood up, grabbing his glass of punch from the table beside him, “So, I think I speak for both Y/N and myself when I say that we are very thank-” 
“Did I miss the party?” You didn’t even need to stand up to see who the voice belonged to. You closed your eyes and let out a short breath as Jake scoffed and rolled his eyes. The two people that Jake didn’t want to talk to let alone see in person were now crashing his ex-girlfriend’s baby shower. 
“Mom, Dad. . . what are you doing here?”

Best and Worst of Both Worlds (Part 24)
Tw: Yves is fucking fuming, jealous n shit , mentions of cheating, Montgomery being touchy
VOTE BELOW GUYS ONY THE FIRST 20 VOTES COUNTS
part 25
Another day has gone by. You collapsed on your bed again, only to be woken up by Evangeline's incessant calling.
It's morning already? You groaned and kicked your legs in the air, throwing a tantrum that you couldn't sleep in.
You didn't even pick up the phone, you went straight to freshening yourself up. Not realizing that you received a missed call from Yves instead.
--
"Mx. (name), we are here!" You choked on your own snore. You must have fallen asleep in Mr. Jones's car.
You shook your head, muttering thanks as you got out of the car, all bleary and groggy. You skipped breakfast again. The extra meals Yves made all went to your housemate's bottomless pits they called stomachs. You're sure the breakfasts he prepared ahead of time were as delicious as his lunches or dinners, but you couldn't be bothered to eat them. It's not like you're starving in the morning anyway.
Mr. Jones drove off leaving you to yawn and scratch your back in peace.
But you let out a scream when a car blared its horns at you.
You turned around to see Montgomery sticking his head out of his car, holding something in his hands while the other was on his steering wheel.
"Mornin' sweetheart!" He greeted, beckoning you to come closer. "I got ya' breakfast!" He lifted up the paper bag with edible oil stains, and you stared at it.
"C'mon, baby. I ain't got all day." He waved it up and down. You took a couple steps forward and grabbed it with great hesitance.
"Have fun at school today, honey!" He reached out to pinch your cheek. Montgomery gently shook your head by the mass of flesh he was holding. You swatted his hand away, but before you could complain, Montgomery already drove off. Leaving you to eat his dust.
You noted that his car looked a lot better than it was. He had a new paint coat done and his bumper was fixed. How much did Mr. Jones give him?
You sniffed the item he gave you. It smells... greasy.
You opened it to see fried chicken and waffles, neatly wrapped in a piece of baking paper. You noted the lack of drinks, but there was $10 next to it and a note that said:
"4 ur drinks XOXO"
You grimaced, why did let the cash directly get into contact with the food? You picked it out using your thumb and your forefinger, flicking off any maple syrup before walking away.
You pulled your phone out to check the time. You're actually early for once! With half an hour to spare too.
Your eyes then widened at Yves's missed call. He didn't send any good morning texts today.
So you called back as fast as you could. It didn't take more than a few seconds before Yves picked it up. You began apologizing profusely, telling him how busy you were in the last three days.
"Of course you were." He replied, his tone was cold. "I am glad you are enjoying your time with your new... friend."
You scratched the back of your head. He's upset and you don't know what to say. You didn't have to, because Yves continued talking.
"...so much so, that you've been ignoring my texts, my calls... all in favor of Jones's daughter."
You stayed silent and so did he. There was no shuffling of papers, clinking of utensils, or busy chattering in the background. He must be standing or sitting completely still, alone in his hotel room.
That is true. You haven't seen all the pictures he sent from Monday. You remembered you promised to call back on Tuesday, but it's now Wednesday. Radio silence on your part.
You sighed and told him that you were sorry. A sense of deja vu washed over you when you asked how you could make up to him.
You heard something being poured into glassware. There were a few seconds of quietness between you two. You can hear liquid swishing around in a vessel.
You called out for Yves, asking if he's still there.
"I miss you, (name). How could you do this to me?" His voice was softer and slightly wavering.
Guilt stabbed through your chest as soon as his hurt reached your ears. You apologized once more, feeling as if the word had lost its meaning since you used it too much. You asked again, what you could do to make it okay, what could you do to make Yves forgive you.
Silence.
Then more pouring of this mysterious liquid could be heard.
You pulled it away from your ear to look at the time. Three whole minutes of no verbal exchange have elapsed.
You put it back to your ear and called his name.
"(Name), I want you to do something."
You told him, yes, you would do anything.
"Answer my calls, please." You agreed and promised him that you would do that. However, he cut you off mid-sentence.
"I loved hearing you speak about your thoughts. I was heartbroken and bitter beyond belief when you took that pleasure away from me and gave it to Jones's daughter." Yves's voice wasn't raised, but you could hear the venom dripping from it when he referred to Evangeline.
You gave into your reflex to defend yourself, saying that you have a life here, you're swamped by schoolwork, and numerous other changes in your life. So you didn't have enough time or energy to spare telling him all the details.
"Must I remind you that I do not take too kindly to disloyalty? I only have eyes for you, (name). But it seems like you have eyes for someone else."
You let out a gasp and panicked. You assured him that there wasn't anything going on between you and her. She's just your friend, well your only friend so far. You just didn't want to bore her away!
He hummed in response, ominously. You felt like you were in a block of ice, You have never heard Yves sounding this steely.
You were speechless. Yves has nothing to say, but he still wants to be on the phone with you.
"Hello, (Name)!" You inhaled sharply when you saw Evangeline cheerfully greeting you. Her voice is loud enough for Yves to pick up.
He did not say a word, instead, opting to wait and see what you would do for him.
You froze, alternating your gaze between her and the floor and the sky. She looked confused as to why you were freaking out right before her very eyes.
"Is that Sir Yves?" She asked loudly. You pressed your finger to your lips, gesturing her to be silent.
"Is he mad at you, (name)?" This girl cannot read the room! You mouthed at her to go away for a while, you need some privacy with Yves.
"I could talk to him if you want. I'd say I'm a good mediator myself." She smiled and tilted her head to the side.
You looked at the screen. It's deathly quiet, you thought maybe he hung up and you could deal with him later at home. But to your dismay, the call is still going.
"Hi, Sir Yves! This is Evangeline, how was your day?" She tried speaking into the phone, but you pushed her away and said that it wasn't an appropriate course of action.
You took a couple of steps away from her and pressed the phone back to your ear. Yves did not respond to Evangeline's polite yet strange behavior.
You gulped and asked him if he wanted to talk to Evangeline.
"(Name)." He finally spoke. You responded with a 'yes'?
"I want you to think about this from my perspective."
You waited for a few seconds for his next instruction or piece of wisdom.
"Reflect on all the things you did or did not do for me since Monday." Yves gave you a minute to let his words sink into your psyche.
You fidgeted in place uncomfortably, you were definitely neglecting him although he did everything he could to ensure your well-being was taken care of, even if he was a whole continent away from you.
"(name)." He demanded for your attention again. You ensured he knows that you're giving it to him now.
"Think about the reasons behind your recent behavior."
Evangeline. Mostly. You felt the need to please her as your only friend. But your exhaustion was due to Montgomery's antics.
"Think about how I must have felt." You felt the shame sear through your entire being. Yves must have felt betrayed by you. To the point that he thinks you're cheating on him with Evangeline.
You let an apology slip your lips once more. But Yves ignored it and proceeded with his lecture.
"Now, base your answer on what you have gathered." There was a beat of silence.
"Do you think I have any desire to speak to her?" Some hostile inflections within that sentence sent shudders throughout your body. You should choose your words very carefully.
You took a few moments to think over the facts before replying to Yves.

Hi! My name is Lucas and I have Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, or ARFID. ARFID is a disorder where people greatly restrict the food they eat and avoid many others, due to sensory issues such as texture or smell or due to a fear of negative consequences such as getting sick. Mine is due to sensory issues. I wanted to make a series sharing foods I eat, tips on how to try foods, and more! Welcome to Lucas's Safe Foods!
Tumblr media
🍕Cheese pizza
🧀Mac and Cheese
🍞Grilled Cheese
🍔Cheeseburger
🍟French Fries
🐔Chicken nuggets
🥪Turkey sandwich
🧀🥩Cheesesteaks
🥖Rolls/Breadsticks/Bread basically
🥩Steak
🥔Hashbrowns
🧇Waffles
🍞Cinnamon rolls/Cinnamon bread
🥯Bagels
🌮Steak tacos
🧀Cheese quesadillas
🍝Pasta (Alfredo/butter/cheese mostly)
🐝Honey Nut Cheerios
🐯Frosted Flakes
🐟Goldfish (Flavor blasted cheddar!)
🥔Chips (Sour Cream and Onion or cheesey chips)
Of course, this list is just the foods. With ARFID, most of these foods I can only eat a certain way or from certain brands. For instance, steak MUST be well done or I can't eat it, and honey nut cheerios must be on brand or I can't eat them.
Tumblr media
Feel free to send in suggestions for other ARFID/food sensitivity posts!

Warning: Food, lots of food
Cheat days for the Jackals are wild. There were probably Greek orgies with more self control than a team of professional athletes betraying their diets.
Kiyoomi has never seen a man tear the breading off chicken and use it to make a Taco of Sin with loads of mashed potatoes and gravy the way Inunaki does.
Actually he's never seen anyone single-handedly demolish two buckets of wings before either. Barnes is starting on his third and Tomas isn't far behind.
Bokuto has fashioned himself some fast food equivalent of a French Dip using waffles and hastily deboned chicken thigh and he's dipping it in maple syrup between bites. It's horrible and decadent, and he's going to pay for it tomorrow as Hinata lectures across the table.
Good ole Hinata, ever since he joined the team, Kiyoomi learned that he could always be relied on to keep a level head and not overdo things. The warm thought sustains Kiyoomi until he looks down at the volume of mac and cheese on the redhead's plate.
The stuff is dripping with that artificial cheese sauce that's a radioactive orange just a shade shy of matching Hinata's hair. Somewhere under there is a hint of broccoli, as if that would mitigate the (probably) carcinogenic cheap nacho condiment.
But probably the most disgusting of all... are the Captain and their starting setter. The extra large sundae they ordered arrives in a footed glass bowl and the extravagant scoops of all fifteen flavours on the menu are melting under the heat of hot fudge and caramel lashings.
If at some point, Kiyoomi was asked when he started to doubt reality, it would probably when Miya screamed, "WHO NEEDS SPOONS WHEN YA GOT CHICKEN TENDERS?!" and Meian, the voice of reason and self control agreed with him.
"I want to go home." he sighs to himself as he sinks into his corner of the booth. He sips his root beer float and tries to will himself away from the chaos until a steaming basket of fresh fried crinkle cut fries are delivered to him by a beaming waitress.
"Here are your fries, honey, can I get you anything else? Ketchup? Sriracha?"
"Oh yes," he replies politely, "May I have some mayonnaise please?"
The team stares at him as he fishes out the pepper shaker from the forest of empty buckets.
Sakusa Kiyoomi never uses salad dressing. Sakusa Kiyoomi judges them when they drink all the broth in the ramen. And he never ever asks for condiments. He shrugs, using a fry to mix that pepper and mayo up nice and even.
"It's cheat day."

Kid (and spoon) Friendly Chicken & Waffles
Tumblr media
This is less of a recipe, and more of an idea. I’ve been struggling a lot with food lately. My fridge leaks, stealing more food from me than I consume, and I haven’t had energy for anything. It’s taking me longer and longer to make the simplest of things.
This? This was pretty simple. I lined a cookie sheet with foil so I wouldn’t have to wash anything, baked some dino nuggies, and then when they were almost done, I added some mini maple waffles. It made a bite-sized chicken and waffle meal without the hassle. It is by no means as incredible as real fried chicken and waffles, but in a bind, this will do. It’ll be great for your picky eaters. Serve it with some syrup, or honey. Maybe hot honey. Whatever you or your kiddo likes! Let me know how it goes <3 Happy eating!

buttered pumpkin ravioli followed by the raspberry gelato served in a coconut shell at the obligatory little italian place in my obligatory little not-italian hometown

homemade lengua estofado (white people not invited)
butterfish hand roll

fruit salad consisting of: apple, jicama, oranges, cucumber, and optional melon (honeydew or cantaloupe) with mandatory seasoning of citrus juice, red pepper, and salt
fried egg over easy stirred into white rice with very small amounts of sesame oil and soy sauce
my dad is the only person who can make bbq ribs worth eating bc they are tender and heavily spiced with a homemade mustard-based sauce with more spices than i’ve ever seen on any other single object
japanese curry + chicken cutlet (my preferred curry but all are valid)
melted monterey jack cheese (any context)
go to 300 Juan Medina Rd., Chimayo, NM, 87522
muesli
homemade honey kale chip (YSAC)

just the crust of deep dish pizza without the toppings
buttered macaronis with white onion (poisonous to me)
hot dog and vegetable stir fry
chile con carne with MY family’s green chile recipe
oyster tasting paid for by somebody else
this one stout beer that i shared with my mother in 2017 that came in an unlabeled bottle found in the back of a restaurant that has since changed ownership. no other information
dishes containing roux, custard, or caramelized onions patiently made by your own hand (taste of the fruits of your labor)
my sister’s fucked up health recipes that are actually incredibly fucking good such as a very seasoned broth with like 5 different types of mushrooms, a buffalo chicken/sweet potato/turkey bacon casserole, and all of her various spaghetti squash glops. so FUCKING good.
arugula salad with nuts and fruits
steamed pumpkin (various seasonings)
any decently improvised sweet bread, cookie, or cake flavored chiefly with butter, white sugar, and almond extract

spoonful of stone ground mustard
back home theres a place where u can get craft beer, a rosé slushie actually worth havinf, taste 4 nearly identical dry red wines, and then say its ur birthday and get panini bread toasted with butter and a melted hersheys bar topped with whipped cream. the birthday treat only really tastes good once youve had the aforementioned quantity of alcohol, but i think that’s by design. like listening to shpongle while profoundly high on psychedelics

anything with garlic or onion (poisons me)
