Request 1: A ficlet or art based on any of my past exchange requests. Fandoms include 17776: What Football Will Look Like in the Future, Babylon Berlin, Blueliners, Crown Duel (Sherwood Smith), Ella Enchanted (Gail Carson Levine), Highlander, Hockey RPF, The Mummy, Pitch, Original Works, The Seer and the Sword (Victoria Hanley), The Sherwood Ring (Elizabeth Marie Pope), Sleeping Beauty.

Request 2: Recipe recs for dishes for 1-2 people (or that can be made in bulk and divided/stored for later). I have no dietary restrictions, and I love trying new-to-me foods, so if you have a personal regional favorite, lay it on me. DNW mug cake recipes.

Request 3: Icons! I'd love some textless hockey icons (favorite teams are Penguins, Flyers, Riveters, and Whale - DNW Blackhawks or Capitals). I'd also love art based icons - I love early 20th century art, especially Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and Dadaism. If it would show up in the Museum of Modern Art, I'd probably like it.

Request 4: Music recs: give me 2-3 of your favorite songs, any genre. Youtube links would be appreciated!

Request 5: Netflix USA recs: give me 1-2 recs for your favorite/most recently watched shows/movies on Netflix. I'm especially interested in non-English-language recs.

recipe & Netflix USA

[alexseanchai]

Netflix: Miraculous Ladybug! (That's Ladybug in my icon.) Two Parisian teens with magical jewelry that give them superpowers, versus a similarly equipped supervillain who exploits people's emotions to turn them into monsters of the week. Many many identity shenanigans. I understand French dub is also available on US Netflix, but I've never tried that because I understand trying to watch French dub with English subtitles gives me the same subtitles I get when watching the English dub, which is unhelpful when trying to find places the French and English differ, and which don't match the English dub entirely accurately to begin with.

Be advised that Netflix currently says there are four seasons up when there are two and a half (S2 got and S3 is getting uploaded half a season at a time) and files the Christmas special as a whole different show, and because the first season is supposed to be watchable in any order (it's not) and the third season got aired all out of production code order (which is supposed to be chronological order) and Netflix decided to break up the S2 two-parter for funsies or something, Netflix order is wrong. Problem is we don't know what order is right, either: here's my go at it.


recipe:

Italian Spaghetti, as my grandmother wrote it down, by which we mean Italian-American-style meatballs and sauce to go on spaghetti cooked separately, with parenthetical additions from my mother and bracketed ones from me:

Chop 2 to 3 medium onions. Put half aside.

Chop stale rolls or 4 slices bread with other half of the onions. Mix into 3 lbs chopped chuck (ground beef). Add 14 to 16 shakes of Accent [that is, pure MSG], plenty of salt and pepper and 4 tablespoons of chopped parsley or parsley flakes. Form into small meatballs.

Add 4 - 6 oz. cans tomato paste and 3 cans of water to each can to large pot. [That's 24 oz tomato paste and 72 oz water; we're specifying 'per can' because if you measure the water with the cans then you get more of the tomato paste from the cans to the sauce pot.]
3-4 bay leaves
(I add a bit of granulated garlic and salt, though they are not in the original recipe.)

Heat frying pan. Add 4 tablespoons olive oil. Brown meatballs in frying pan in batches. (Usually I put in meatballs, then turn them one-third twice more to brown whole meatball.)

Brown rest of onions in frying pan, scraping up the brown bits from browning meatballs. [This doesn't work so hot if you're browning the meatballs in a nonstick pan.] Put all into deep pot with sauce and meatballs.

Simmer uncovered 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Stir occasionally.

Ahhh so *that's* what Miraculous Ladybug is about! I've seen it around, but I hadn't realized it was so easily accessible. Is it something I could watch with my niece and nephew?

Also, this spaghetti sounds delicious, thank you so much for the recipe.

It's a TV-Y7 show, so 😺 —oh and a further note: the entirety of S3 is available in English dub, and your best bet for the half that isn't on Netflix yet is YouTube. French dub, probably same?

Hope you enjoy!
