The Makings of a Glutton
They say that you are what you eat. And since there’s obviously a lot of you… it’s pretty clear what you eat. But I’m the lucky one who knows just what went into all the meals that made you this way.
Those smotheringly chubby cheeks and those triple chins were barbecue. The piles of pulled pork drowned in sugary sauce, the globs of steakhouse macaroni and cheese, the mountains of creamy potato salad, the tubs of greasy baked beans — you choked them all down voraciously, going back for seconds, thirds, fourths, more. You gorged yourself on pig, and it returned the favor by making you resemble the meals you loved so much. Now your fat pushes your cheeks and jowls out, pinches your nose and eyes, and gives you a porcine look to all the world.
Your love of dessert and sugary confections made those arms. You’ve never hesitated to eat an entire cheesecake slice by slice, eschewing plate and fork in favor of holding each thick wedge in your pudgy grasp and going in like a normal person would eat an apple. You’ll shovel in chocolate mousse cake, fat arms jiggling as you chase every last drop of saccharine, syrupy chocolate around your plate. Your love of all things sweet has left you with arms as velvety as ice cream and as jiggly as custard — your luscious bingo wings cascading down your side rolls, your forearms growing thick enough to wobble with every movement and grasp for your next bite.
Years of chugging sugary soda gave you those massive sacks of flab on your chest. You down thousands of calories of the stuff every day like you’re drinking water, making it your beverage of choice at every meal. Between using it for a caffeine boost from the exhausting effort of just existing under your tremendous bulk, or cooling down from your most recent trip to the kitchen, it’s rare not to see a bottle in your hand. And once you got a machine to make your own soda — letting you overload it with syrup to the point that it could still be called soda only out of courtesy — you’d basically set up an uninterrupted flow of pure sugar. Your tits bulged in proportion, swelling and sagging as you guzzled those empty calories to keep them growing, coming to resemble the industrial bags of drink mix you were finishing at an alarming rate and leaving your lungs underneath feeling like they, too, were drowning in syrup.
Your legs, I bet, we could blame entirely on pizza. Calling them thunder thighs would be a gross understatement. They look every bit like the calories from the thousands — tens of thousands — of slices of pizza you’ve gobbled up have gone straight there. You’ve enjoyed dumping gobs and gobs of pizza — those cheesy, greasy, doughy piles of saturated fat on a plate — into your body; and they’ve transformed into piles of jiggling grease, hanging off your legs in pendulous, shapeless blobs having to be hauled around, step by labored step, on those infrequent occasions when you can be bothered to stand.
Your couch-sized ass is a monument to all the years spent sitting on it and choking down junk food. You just can’t stop stuffing your face with empty calories, as if you don’t have so much junk in your trunk already that you can barely fit through doorways. You like the kitchen well-stocked with chips, pretzels, crackers, cheese puffs, cookies, candy bars — everything that’s been strategically designed to taste good, leave you completely unsatisfied, and make you crave more. All those calories flowing into you between meals has left you with two enormous, wobbling globes of fat on your rear, which either rise and fall behind you with every pitiful waddling step, or else spread out underneath you like huge lumps of dough when you sit. They’re the last thing to leave any seat you take, and their combined couple hundred pounds usually make sure you don’t leave wherever you’ve plopped down for as long as possible. All the better to sit back, gobble up more junk food, and feed them even bigger.
But the biggest, most obvious part of you, has to be that unbelievable belly of yours, though; and nothing could be responsible for that but good, old fashioned fast food. The thousands of bags of fatty burgers you’ve put away, loaded with grease and cheese and bacon; the countless french fries, those carb-laden grease sponges that are the closest thing to a vegetable you get; and the fried chicken nuggets covered in some sugary sauce or other — those have basically been the base of your personal food pyramid since either of us can remember. Add to that the occasional family-size fried chicken meal smothered in sausage gravy, or the pile of takeout burritos loaded with sour cream and cheese, and it’s no surprise where that belly came from. It’s no surprise either that it takes up your entire lap and waterfalls over your knees, burying your body under the weight of its shapeless, blobby mass. A constant reminder, hanging out of your shirt in plain sight, of just how much fattening drive-thru garbage you’ve stuffed down your throat and let turn to fat. An un-hideable, unapologetic, inexcusable sign of your willingness to put your cravings for food ahead of anything else.
And the rest of you — by which I mean, all the hundreds of pounds I’m going to grow on your already pathetically blubbery body — that’s all going to be what’s in this barrel. Mostly cooking lard and corn syrup, but if you’re good I’ll add some flavoring now and again. I’m sure you can imagine some of the ways that could manifest on your body — and that panicked look on your face tells me you don’t have any trouble envisioning where this is going. After we start draining these into your fat gut on the regular, well…
Like I said, you are what you eat. Very soon, you’re going to be eating much more — and I bet there’ll be much, MUCH more of you to feed.

This is it. Your last straw. Your final binge.
Any time you find yourself craving food, remember.
Remember the thick, slimy coating of mucus on your throat from all the sweets. Remember your bloated belly, filled with sugar. Remember how it feels to gag when you swallow because the mucus is so thick. Remember the gas, burbling up your throat trying desperately to escape. Remember how loud you digest. Remember the gurgles.
And remember how it tasted too.
Salty food are not all they’re cracked up to be. You don’t like them. You know you don’t like them. You don’t need to try them again to be sure. You don’t like peanut butter or egg yolks either. You don’t like any kinds of chips, especially potato, barbecue, and overly artificially cheesy ones. You don’t like bread. You don’t like cake. You don’t like chicken. This has been the case for your entire life. You don’t need to make sure.
And, as you learned today, you don’t like donuts, either. You don’t like any chocolate except for dark. You don’t like cookies.
So, to help you for future reference, here is a list of foods that you DONT LIKE!!! (Not even as an ana thing!! You have literally never liked these foods!! So stop eating them!!! You don’t have to say yes when someone offers you something!!!!)
1.) Cake.
2.) Pastries.
3.) Cookies.
4.) Cupcakes.
5.) Donuts.
6.) Any overly syrupy desert. (Except on extremely special occasions.)
7.) Candy. (Including chocolates.)
8.) Candy bars/Granola bars. (You know that one will lead to two, which leads to four… And they are gross??)
9.) Any and all food from the place. No matter what. No exceptions.
10.) Chips.
11.) Peanut butter.
12.) Egg yolk.
13.) Chicken nuggets.
14.) Pizza.
15.) Ice cream. (!!!!!)
16.) Hot dogs.
17.) Ramen.
18.) Spaghetti.
19.) White potatoes and any products that come of them, including: French fries, Baked potatoes, Wedges, etc.
20.) Ketchup.
21.) Bananas. (You can eat them if you want, but you don’t like them.)
22.) Coffee.
23.) Steak.
24.) Mayonnaise.
25.) Popcorn. (Especially buttered or salted.)
26.) Chicken wings.
27.) Onion rings.
28.) Meatballs.
29.) Meatloaf.
30.) Corned beef.
31.) Spring rolls.
32.) Egg rolls.
33.) PB&J sandwich (falls under peanut butter, but wtv)
34.) Bagels.
35.) Milk.
36.) Most fish.
38.) Syrup.
39.) McDonalds and any other fast food chain.
40.) Fried mushrooms. (Honestly, fried anything.)

Wellness Wednesday:
All the Way May
May flew by and I had an absolute blast.
Been loving the warm weather, outdoor time, barbecuing, traveling, and... just everything in general - This month has been real good to me.
Things to note this month:
Had a massive yard renovation - love being outside now (well more than usual)
Guardians of the Galaxy - Great viewing experience
Got to visit family I haven't seen in a while
Got to partake in the Hot Ones Challenge - the whole experience was a hoot
....
...
..
and...
I hit my First Weight Loss Plateau.
Hitting that Weight Loss Plateau was at first... a bummer (especially after my last post where I stated "I Feel Unstoppable")... but... I was very aware it was coming down the pipe at some point / some time - I am actually amazed that I made it almost half a year with continual weight loss.
Also - I gained 1.4 pounds - nothing detrimental - and not to be gross, but that overage can essentially be cured with one bathroom break.... Oh boy... I just realized mid sentence that this is probably coming of weird like I might have bulimia... No, no, no... I am talking about taking a healthy dump.
Anywhosel...
I have no intentions of changing my current diet or workout plan unless to increase enjoyment.
Overall, May was just a real chill month - I've never been this relaxed. Hoping June and July follow suit - Looking for more good things to come.

Cheesy Barbecue Sweet Potatoes (Vegetarian)
Tumblr media
It doesn’t take much to make these beautifully Cheesy Barbecue Sweet Potatoes on a warm evening. But the result is a tasty, hearty dinner, to be enjoyed in the garden as the light very slowly dims. So fire up the barbie tonight! Happy Thursday!
Ingredients (serves 2):
2 medium sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon good quality soft goat’s cheese
1 tablespoon double cream
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Mature English Cheddar
1 small spring onion
Arrange a layer of coals in the barbecue. Top with a few small branches of wood (applewood gives good taste), and light.
Thoroughly scrub sweet potatoes under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels. Lay two large sheets of foil onto kitchen counter and place one sweet potato onto each. Prick them all over with a knife. Sprinkle sweet potatoes with coarse sea salt, and drizzle with olive oil. Rub them thoroughly with oil and salt. Wrap each of them tightly with foil. Then, wrap each in a secon sheet of foil. Set aside.
Once the flames are low and embers glowing red, carefully place wrapped sweet potatoes, directly onto the embers, and cook, about 15 minutes. Then, using tongs, turn them on the other side, and cook, a further 15 minutes.

Carefully remove the sweet potatoes from the embers, and place them onto serving plates. Unwrap foil, and slit each sweet potato lengthwise in the middle. Open up their skin, and press the flesh slightly with a spoon. Drizzle each generously with goat’s cgoheese cream and sprinkle with Cheddar and chopped Spring onion.
Serve Cheesy Barbecue Sweet Potatoes immediately.

Hello there! I’m supremely new here (like I just found this place like a few hours ago) and I already love it! Anyways, I have a Khajiit who is a pescetarian and loves travelling around Tamriel! And of course, with travelling comes eating. What would you say is a dish that is pescetarian-friendly from each province?
Fish is a staple part of every Province's cuisine to a certain degree, and everyone has a different way of preparing it. Those with access to the ocean certainly reap its delicious bounty, making pescatarian diets fairly easy to stick to!
Altmer
Raw or lightly seared ocean fish is a specialty of Summerset, served with saltrice sauce and grated wasabi root. While it may seem gross and slimy to those who haven't tried it, raw fish like salmon, albacore, and swordfish have a delightful meaty texture and superb flavour (and aren't the least bit slimy).
Argonians
Seafood and swamp fish are a keystone of the Argonian diet, so you're in luck. Think of a rich green coconut fish curry, served over steamed coconut rice with crispy whitebait, or perhaps some fried mantis shrimp with wild garlic and chili? Whatever you decide, the Argonians are fish experts and you can't ever go wrong with an Argonian seafood dish.
Bosmer
Aside from meat, the Bosmer sometimes mix things up with some fish, which are plentiful in the rivers of Valenwood. The migratory salmon travels all the way there from Skyrim, and is therefore a consistent feature in Wood Elf cuisine. Salmon steak with a salt and honey glaze is a Marbruk specialty.
Bretons
The Iliac Bay is a fisherman's dream, and Breton dishes feature everything from clams and squid to cod and crab. The Cloudy Dregs Inn Bouillabaisse is a good example of High Rock pescatarian dishes at their finest.
Dunmer
From Vvardenfell to Windhelm, Solstheim to Blacklight, the Dunmer have always had access to seafood, and coastal Dunmer have always had an affinity for fish. Tel Branora scuttle-and-seafood pie features shrimp, fish, scuttle, and scrib baked into a wickwheat puff pastry, and is a Vvardenfell favourite (even if it is a Telvanni dish).
Imperials
The Gold Coast of Cyrodiil is a seafood connoisseur's dream, and local dishes have become synonymous with Imperial cuisine. One such dish is baked fish, cooked in a stone oven with white wine, tomatoes, basil, garlic, capers, black olives, and West Weald parmesan. Simple, but it captures the essence of Cyrodiilic cuisine perfectly!
Khajiit
Aside from the classic Senchal Curry Fish and Rice, Southern Elsweyr is famed for its seafood barbecued over coals in strips of moon sugarcane. The sugarcane adds sweetness to fish, prawns, lobster, squid, and clams, while keeping the seafood juicy over the coals. Served with rice and hot sambal, seafood doesn't get much better than this.
Nords
Salmon this, salmon that. Every Nord knows that the secret to a good seafood dish is variety! Paired with buttery mashed potatoes and brown bread (of course), for afternoons we often have an assorted spread of fishy delights. There's cured salmon with mustard sauce, brined and pickled Cyrodiilic spadetail, baked cheesy clams, creamy prawn salad, and salted cod roe paste, just to name a few.
Orcs
The Orsimer who still inhabit the frigid Wrothgar area are fond of the bountiful fish their land provides, in particularly in rivers and the sea. A hearty Orcish fish dish is fish stew with beets. The fish is first charred over a fire before being tossed into a cauldron with sweet beets, wrathberries, chunks of horker, and echatere cheese. Smoky and delicious!
Redguards
Coastal Redguards love their seafood, and like the rest of their cuisine, love it when it's flavourful! Take, for example, the quintessential fish tagine from Hew's Bane. Loaded with lemon, saffron, and exotic spices, this tagine is always served with bulgur or cous-cous and a cup of hot mint tea.

So, of course I went and got myself some tasty BBQ!!!! Despite my good friend Toby’s very strong and repeated recommendation of, “This really good vegan place!” And while, I do like some tasty vegan goodness; when I’m in Texas, I’m gonna eat some meat!!! (Sorry Toby!) And the meat was indeed good. Brisket, pork ribs, cheese and jalapeño sausage, all deliciously smoked! With bacon Mac and cheese, cheesy jalapeño rice (Which was recommended) and obligatory potato salad! (What? I’m wicked freaking Irish kid!) Washed down with sweet tea! Mmmmmmmmmmmm……. #texas #bbq #sanantonio #transwoman #meat #texasbbq #massholeabroad (at Pinkerton’s Barbecue - San Antonio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb_aE7HOasz/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Sacred Art of Hamburger-Making
Tumblr media
Category: General Fluff
Fandom: My Hero Academia
Characters: Momo Yaoyorozu, Denki Kaminari, & Hanta Sero
Hey, hey, everybody! This is the second story I wrote for @cuizineco​’s Heroes in the Baking zine, which is free to download!
Momo hummed under her breath as she filed her nails, sitting between Hanta and Denki on the common room sofa. The air was filled with clacking and clicking as the two boys feverishly jabbed the buttons and spun the joysticks on their controllers; both of their eyes were fixed on the martial arts video game they were embroiled in. Momo enjoyed the rare instances where they came down to the common room to play; she found something about their competitive energy so invigorating, especially after a hard day’s training. 
Just as she had finished buffing her shiny, neatly-trimmed nails, a deep voice boomed from the television to announce with dramatic fervor, “Fatality!” while thick red blood splattered the word across the screen. Hanta jumped up from the couch with a triumphant crow, nearly flinging the controller as he flung his hands into the air, while the defeated Denki melted into the couch cushions with a groan. 
“Don’t worry, Denki. You’ll beat him next time,” Momo encouraged with a sweet smile. 
“No, he won’t, because he’s a loserrrrr!” Hanta teased while making an L-shape on his forehead with his fingers. Denki stuck out his tongue angrily to his friend before humming thoughtfully. 
“Man, we’ve been playing for hours. I’m starving… You know what I could go for right now? A big, greasy, cheesy, American-style hamburger,” he sighed dreamily, salivating at the words alone. Momo perked up, her interest piqued. 
“Oh, I’ve never had a hamburger before.” 
If they were on a comedy show, one would have heard a record scratch. Denki’s head whipped around to stare at her with owlish eyes for a second before he chuckled magnanimously and slipped his arm around her slim shoulders, his expression melting into one a mixture of pity and mischievousness. 
“Momo. Dear. Honey. You’ve never had a hamburger?” the blond asked in a polite but disbelieving voice. Unsure what all the fuss was about, Momo slowly shook her head. 
“Now that’s what I call a got-damn tragedy,” Hanta observed before shoving a handful of potato chips into his mouth. As he munched on the barbecue-flavored crisps, crumbs and powder raining from his lips down onto his tee-shirt, he looked at Denki pointedly. “We have to amend that, don’t we, Denks?” 
“We most certainly do,” the blond nodded sagely, pinching his chin and closing his eyes like the picture of a pensive philosopher. “We cannot allow Momo here, our dear friend, our beloved classmate and light of our bleak lives, to remain in such a sorry state. So… To the kitchen!” he announced and jumped up, pointing a finger into the air. “By our hand, we will allow Momo to suffer no longer!” 
Are hamburgers really that good? Momo wondered as she followed the two boys to the adjoining kitchen. They probably weren’t, but watching the two tear through the cabinets and refrigerator to gather all the necessary tools and ingredients was so energizing that Momo found herself growing excited. She’d never seen Denki so animated about cooking before; he was all smiles as he pranced around wearing a “Kiss the Cook” apron of All Might in a chef’s hat, so she couldn’t refuse him even if she wanted to. 
“All right, Chef Denki,” Momo chuckled as she tied an apple-patterned apron around her waist, “I’m under your tutelage tonight.” 
“It’s the only thing he’ll ever tutor you in,” Hanta joked, earning a sharp jab in the ribs from his cohort. 
“Anyway,” Denki said and cleared his throat, “pay close attention, Momo. I am going to teach you the sacred art of making hamburgers. First, we have to make the patties.” He took a few packs of ground meat and sliced open the plastic, dumping the stringy pink-red meat into a large aluminum bowl. 
“Everyone says they’re down with hamburgers tonight,” Hanta reported, sitting on the counter typing away at his phone. 
“Let’s see— with twenty people plus Mr. Aizawa, with an average of two burgers a person, that would be… forty patties,” he rattled off, using his fingers to count as he multiplied in his head. “We should be able to manage that between the three of us. Hanta, would you go ahead and plug in the mini-grill so it’ll be heated up?” 
“Sure thing, boss.” 
Denki returned his attention to the patiently-waiting Momo. 
“Now then. First, you want to make sure your patties are the right consistency, so you mix it with bread crumbs.” Momo watched with raised eyebrows as he took a box of them and dumped some into the bowl. “You want your patties to stick together, obviously, so you add eggs—” he continued as he cracked some open, spilling the golden yolks into the bowl— “and then milk to soften up the meat a little. Finally— and this is the most important part, Momo— you season it to perfection!” 
Momo watched in wonder as he added several spices and a dark brown sauce to the mix, saturating the meat in flavor, without even taking measurements. As he was telling her how to mix it up, scrunching the meat and other ingredients together with his hands, she smiled endearingly. 
“Wow, you’ve cooked this a lot, huh?” 
“Yup! Me and my folks took an overseas trip once to America when I was young, and we loved the hamburgers so much that we got a recipe from one of the locals! It became a staple in my household! Fast food burgers are nice n’ all, but nothing really compares to a good ol’ beefy homemade burger!” Denki grinned widely. 
“I think that’s great! Would you like me to get started on another bowl of ground beef, then?” 
“Yes, please!” 
Under Denki’s careful guidance, Momo added the ingredients one at a time to the bowl. When it came time to combine them, she squealed at the odd sensation of the sticky, gooey meat, fluid sauce and egg, and gritty powder squishing between her fingers. Denki laughed heartily at the disgusted faces she made while mixing up the ground beef, squeaking and shuddering all the while, until it was uniform. In the background, Hanta had been doing other small tasks like chopping lettuce and onions, slicing tomatoes and cheese, and setting out condiments. He finally joined them at the counter, wiping tomato juice off his hands with a dishtowel. 
“It’s a messy job,” Denki said as he grabbed a fistful of the meat, “but we’re not done yet! Now it’s time to make the patties.” 
“Ooh! My favorite part!” Hanta grinned, grabbing hamburger meat from Momo’s bowl with both hands. “Ya just roll it into a ball, then flatten it into a nice, round patty,” he said while demonstrating the motions. He then walked over to the simmering grill to plop it on the ridged surface. “Then ya grill it until it’s just right, and boom! Nice, tasty, juicy hamburger.” 
“Hanta, have you been to America, too?” Momo inquired as she slowly replicated the motion, still cringing at the sliminess of the raw meat. 
“Nah. I spent a lot of summer break at Denki’s house, though, and his old man taught me how to make ‘em!” Hanta said as he slapped another patty onto the small grill and closed the lid, filling the air with sizzling and popping. While he waited for the meat to brown, he leaned against the counter and flashed Momo a wink. “I felt kinda honored being included in the Kaminari family tradition of summer cook-outs!” 
“You’re my best friend! Of course you would be!” Denki grinned, sauntering over to bump elbows with Hanta. “And, since Momo is our best girl,” he continued while turning around to wink saucily at Momo, “it’s natural that she be included, too!” 
“Ah! Stop it; you’re going to make me blush!” Momo cried and, in her momentary embarrassment, slapped her palms to her cheeks. All the blood drained from her face as she realized she was smooshing raw meat and seasoning on her face. She screamed shrilly and ripped her hands away from her face, horrified by the bits of pulverized meat falling from her cheeks. As she raced to the sink, Hanta and Denki fell to the floor howling with laughter. “Stop it! It’s not funny!” she cried as she scraped at her face with a soapy sponge, tossing a glare over her shoulder. 
“Actually, it really is, Yaomomo,” Denki snorted as he climbed back up to resume making hamburger patties. Momo just sniffed dourly, thoroughly embarrassed. Then, an evil idea hatched in her mind; stealthily, she filled her cupped hands with ice-cold water and crept up behind Denki. Just as he took notice of her presence, she dumped it down the neck of his shirt. He yelped and his back arched backward as the cold liquid hit his skin. 
“Aye, aye, what the hell was that for?!” 
“Serves you right!” Hanta laughed, pointing at him and completely unaware that he was the next in Momo’s cross-hairs. “Wha—?” he blinked owlishly as Momo flung a glob of the raw meat at him; it collided with his cheek with a wet slap, slowly sliding down before landing on his tennis shoe. “I guess I deserved that.” 
“Hey, you morons! Don’t tell me you’re messing around in the kitchen!” boomed a grouchy voice. Momo turned to see Katsuki stomping in, his hands buried in his cargo pants pockets and his lips stretched in a scowl. His vermillion eyes slowly slid down to the chunk of meat dripping on Hanta’s shoe. “What the hell?! You can’t just waste food like that! Who taught you losers to cook?!” 
“Oi! This is my show! Go yell at someone else, Baku-bro!” Denki whined and poked at Katsuki with his foot as he continued to quickly pile up patties on aluminum foil next to Hanta, who returned from cleaning off his face to take the broiled hamburgers off the grill and put them on some buns. Katsuki slapped Denki’s foot away but obediently shambled out of the kitchen to join the rest of their peers, who had been attracted by the savory aroma now clouding the air. 
“All right, the guest of honor gets to try first,” Hanta grinned as he presented Momo with a fully dressed hamburger complete with a side of potato chips. As she took the paper plate, she was amazed at the weight of the thing, nearly spilling it all as she hastily recovered from the plate dipping. She set it safely on the counter before looking at it, wondering how the heck to eat it. 
“I… With my hands…?” 
“Hell yeah, girl! Get in there!” Denki encouraged with an airy laugh. Momo blushed before timidly grabbing the hamburger, grimacing at the juice that leaked onto her fingers when she lightly squeezed it. She craned her neck over the plate as she leaned in for a bite, trying not to drip it all over her clothes. First came the soft bread, then crunchy lettuce and tomato, then melty cheese, and then finally the savory meat. Momo hummed as the robust flavor exploded on her tongue, complemented by all the toppings. 
“Well? Amazing or what?” Denki grinned as he sidled up to her, wiggling his golden eyebrows expectantly. Too busy savoring the symphony of flavors on her tongue, Momo only nodded with her eyes fluttering shut. “Woohoo! Atta girl! Look at our Momo, getting messy with a big ol’ hamburger!” Denki laughed as he did a celebratory jig. 
“Ehhh? Did I hear Momo eating hamburgers?” Mina said as she poked her head in. Momo was mid-bite, her mouth stretching wide to accommodate the thick patty, and she froze to blink owlishly at the pink girl. “Ahhhh! Look how far you’ve come! Finally embracing the ways of us commoners, eh?” 
Instead of replying, Momo just crunched down on the burger, smiling dreamily as the deliciousness once again graced her senses. 
She had the answer to her question. Hamburgers were really that good! While the others began to file into the kitchen to claim their meals from Denki and Hanta, Momo savored hers bite by bite until she was finished. When she sheepishly presented her plate to Denki for seconds, he laughed and began fixing it for her. The others had vacated the premises, leaving only the two of them. 
“Thanks for sharing this with me, Denki. I had a lot of fun, and it was really good!” she said as he plopped a piece of pale green lettuce atop her patty. 
“To be honest, I was a little scared you wouldn’t enjoy it,” he admitted shyly, giving her a side glance as she gasped in shock. “I know you come from a really wealthy family, Momo, and generally… Rich folks don’t think highly of us little guys, you know?” 
“I know.” Though Momo’s family was kind and tolerant, that still didn’t mean that she hadn’t seen the uglier side of the bourgeoisie. With a soft smile, she wrung her arms around Denki’s waist and laid her head on his shoulder to squeeze him in a tight hug. “But I consider myself lucky! You guys teach me all kinds of neat and wonderful things, and I get to share things about my life with you all, too. I would never, ever judge you.” 
“Yeah, I know,” Denki hummed and gently bonked his head with hers. “Here you go, Momo. I hope you enjoy your seconds.” 
“Thanks,” she said as she took the plate. She then grinned roguishly. “To be honest, I might be up for thirds.” 
Like the hearty scent of homemade hamburgers wafting around the small kitchen, her and Denki’s laughter filled the air. 
Nope. In Momo’s book, nothing really did compare to one of Denki’s hamburgers, and it soon became one of her favorite things to cook with her friends, even out of all the things she learned from them.
