tw: grief, death, illness, and angst - i wrote this in like half an hour and i was really in my feels, so pls excuse me if it's bad
Tumblr media
uncle sukuna, who's been in and out of jail, is always seemingly in trouble with the law and couldn't give two shits about it. ever since leaving home and his twin brother behind, he's only lived for himself and himself only. he'd be damned if he lets anyone change that.
he receives a voicemail from his brother one day, telling him he's had a little baby boy called yuuji. jin wants to put everything in the past behind them and would love for his brother to meet his precious son. sukuna only scoffs and deletes the voicemail almost immediately.
it's only when jin texts him a video of yuuji (who he's surprised to see almost looks exactly like him, minus all the tattoos) 8 months later babbling what could be interpreted as "papa", does he falter. the kid's adorable, but sukuna isn't ready to face his brother just yet.
many more months go by, and jin seems to have taken the hint. except he gets sent another video, this time on his birthday. he clicks on the video, unable to resist and its yuuji, wobbling on two legs, clapping his hands, and singing his own version of happy birthday (??). he's gotten so much bigger and looks so much like his father.
the only word sukuna recognises from yuujis incoherent nonsense is 'kuna', and his heart softens. he messages back a "cute." and leaves it at that. jin sees the message and doesn't stop smiling for the rest of the day.
jin messages him again a week later, only this time sukuna's heart drops. kaori's dead, and her funeral's next week. he's only met her twice, but she was good for his brother, and she was always good to him too.
he sees his brother for the first time in years at the funeral. jin's hair is a mess, his face unshaven and sunken in; grief seemed to have aged him 10 more years. sukuna's many things, a bad brother included, but something in him breaks when he sees yuuji screaming in his father's arms, not understanding where his mum's gone.
he doesn't know why, but he walks up to jin and offers to take yuuji instead. the toddler immediately calms down in his hold, now more confused as to why there's a man that looks exactly like his dad but with sharpie all over him. jin breaks down, stammering out a thank you, and excuses himself, leaving sukuna alone with his nephew. he'll hunt down his brother later, but for now, he'll keep the brat occupied so his dad can grieve.
sukuna hears from his dad that jin's fallen ill months later. he's speaks to his brother more often now and has even met up with both him and yuuji a couple of times. but jin's never mentioned being sick. he's been looking worse, for sure, but he just put it down to being a single father to an energetic toddler.
he moves in with them the next week. jin keeps getting worse and even little yuuji's noticed.
sukuna tries his best. he really does. he's not been there for jin previously, but he makes sure he's there now when it matters. it's all new to him, caring for people. he tries to cook the most nutritious meals for jin, making sure they're yuuji friendly too. he makes sure the house is always clean, even though yuuji's making a mess every 10 minutes. he changes diapers (both yuuji's and jin's), bathes them both, and tucks them both into bed. he even reads yuuji a bedtime story just to maintain normacly even though he hasnt read since he was a child.
he checks up on jin, constantly seeing if he's feeling okay and gives him his medicine. he holds onto jin with the utmost care (almost carrying him) when they go to visit kaori's grave or when yuuji insists on both of them coming to the park with him. when jin can't sleep at night due to being in excruciating pain, he's there. by his side and holding him. he's never been this affectionate, but he's also never had a dying brother before.
it's still not enough, though. the last couple of days were the hardest, and even yuuji knew enough to be on his best behaviour.
sukuna silently sobs into his pillow at night, when the whole world's asleep. he's filled with regret and hatred for himself, but he knows it's too late now. he tells his brother he loves him and that he promises to take care of yuuji no matter what. jin only smiles, his eyes shining with unshed tears, and tries to kiss his cheek as a thank you, and i love you too.
jin died with one arm holding yuuji, the other holding sukuna's, and his wife's name on his tongue.
sukuna was left all alone, once again. except this time, he had no brother to give yuuji back to. as he promised jin, the stars as his witness, he'd do anything for yuuji and to keep him safe.
his life was no longer his own. he had his nephew to think about.

tf2 Mercs Babysitting Style
Tumblr media
Heavy: He likes kids and has a lot of experience helping his mother to raise his sisters. He dreams of one day starting a family and having one or two children. When babysitting he understands that he is much larger than the child and tries to make himself seem smaller so he doesn't scare them too bad. He is a patient and caring babysitter, but he is a firm believer in following the rules. Candy before dinner? No thank you!
Soldier: Do not let him near your kids. He will give them a buzzcut and bring them raccoons to play with. He means well, he really does, but if you want him to babysit your kids at least ask if Demo can come along as well. Demo can easily tone down the chaos that Soldier brings. Soldier, in general, likes kids, he doesn't have any experience in babysitting but he thinks that it can't be that much different from ordering around troops. Oh, how wrong he is.
Spy: He will leave them in front of the television and walk away. Every now and then he will check in on the kids and make sure that they didn't hurt themselves. Even though he says that he doesn't like kids he will make sure that they eat a delicious and nutritious meal that would put Gordon Ramsey to shame. Being around kids makes him uncomfortable, it makes him think of all the missed opportunities that he could have had with his son growing up.
Sniper: He is used to being alone. His only experience with kids is that he used to be a kid himself. Does the child want food? does the child need water? Does the kid have to go number one? or number two? He doesn't know. One thing is for sure though, that child (if well-behaved) will be kept safe and sound. If the kid is a brat he will leave them with Heavy. He loves to teach the kid how to hunt for food and the perfect way to cook and eat grasshoppers.
Scout: He is pretty much a child himself, he knows that a kid needs food, water, and entertainment in order to be happy and healthy. He will be very awkward around the child at first. He tries to show off how confident he is, but the kid will not be fooled; even a baby can see through his false bravado. He starts off with comics and magazines, then the T.V. when that doesn't work he makes the kid a sandwich and takes them outside to play some catch. The child will have the most fun with Scout, but Scout will be panicking the whole time.
Pyro: He likes kids, heck! He loves spending time with them, but if on the off chance you want your kid to end up crispier than a burnt piece of texas toast please consider leaving your child with Heavy or even Soldier.
Demoman: He is a little concerned about being a babysitter. He is a demolition expert, he builds bombs for a living! Even a child at first glance could probably tell that he is as drunk as a skunk. Still, he has that "friendly" atmosphere about himself. Since he makes bombs for a living his hands are extremely dexterous. He knows how much pressure to apply to a child's hand for a handshake and he knows how to apply band-aids the correct way. Does he like babysitting? Not as much as he likes to blow things up. Will he ever consider babysitting in the future? he might, he is a DeGroot! And DeGroots like having multiple jobs! Besides, deep down he really is a softie.
Medic: Is one of the last people that should even be near a child. He has a lot of knowledge of childcare and knows what to do if they're sick, or it they got hurt. But emotionally... not so much. He's very desensitized to gore and forgets that most normal people much less children can handle the sight of blood. He will probably ask the child to help retrieve something from the fridge and eventually scar them for life with all the various organs he has mixed in with the canned drinks. Does he like kids? he thinks that they are okay. He has no patience for them really. But if Heavy and Medic were trusted to take care of the child, then they will work together to make the child feel safe, loved, and comforted til their parents come back.
Engineer: He has a lot of dangerous doo-hickeys in his workshop, so a day in there is a no-no. He will gladly keep the child entertained with stories of his youth or old folktales that his Grandfather used to tell him back when he was a little boy. If stories don't do the trick, then perhaps a song or two on his trusty guitar might pique the child's interest. He tries to form a bond with the child by building with Legos or building blocks. If the kid suggests building a pillow fort then Engie will always be free to babysit whenever you're busy. He will teach the child how to build the most effective pillow fort, capable of withstanding strong winds, loud noises, and Soldier's raccoon attacks.

I kept seeing "apple slices dipped in peanut butter" given as an example of a low-spoons/executive-dysfunction-friendly meal option in posts but neither apples nor peanut butter are particularly incredible to me on their own, so I never actually tried it (ok yes I probably had it when I was like 6 or something but that doesn't count), but last night I didn't really want any of the prepared food in the fridge so I had apples and peanut butter and Y'ALL. YOU GUYS. MY FELLOW QUEERS. It is (1) delicious, (2) nutritious, (3) filling, and (4) so fucking easy I'm not even kidding the only dishes I had to do was rinse off the knife I cut the apple with. I sliced it up and then just sat on the floor with the jar of peanut butter (my family buys the all natural shit so it's a lot runnier than, like, jif, so I could tilt the jar to reach the pb without getting my fingers in it). 10/10 this is now my go-to I-need-calories-but-brain-machine-broke food. And extra bonus, the all-natural pb pairs really well with the apples that grow in our garden; the flavors balance each other nicely and neither component is particularly sweet, so I don't feel gross after eating more than a few bites!

A meal that the baby approves doesn't need to be complicated; it just needs the right flavors that little taste buds can appreciate, meanwhile keep it nutritious and fresh. Introducing this tomato-cod noodles recipe, as usual, we love the simple but flavorful recipe. I think this is one of them you should try!
Whenever cod is in the ingredients list, I would prefer pan sear it to reduce the notorious fishy odors, extract the fish fat & its aroma; then use the acidic ingredients like tomato, lemon, or lime to further neutralize it (ginger works as well, but avoid too much by all means).
By the way, why do the baby noodles (made mainly by wheat flour) quickly get starchy & mushy? Here's a tip, precook half of the cooking time & rinse & strain off the water. By doing this prep, your noodles will be slurpy and flavorful after a quick simmer in the sauce.
To enhance the flavor & nutritions, I added Nanimom Shiitake Mushroom powder at the end. To buy Nanimom baby & kid-friendly seasoning, spices & pasta, check out https://nanimom.sg for more information.

做个宝宝喜爱的一餐其实无需复杂,无非就是对的味道,还有营养和新鲜食材。今天的食谱我们来做个番茄鳕鱼宝宝面,一如既往的,这些简单又美味的食谱是我的最爱,我也觉得您可以试试煮给孩子。
每次烹调鳕鱼之前,我都会稍微把鳕鱼煎香,然后用酸性的食材例如番茄,柠檬或青柠来中和掉鱼腥味(当然也可用姜,只是不宜太多不然姜味太重也不好吃)。还有许多妈妈问煮宝宝面时很容易糊掉不好吃,这里给个小贴士,先用水煮至半熟,过个冷水后再和汤汁一起煮,面条这样煮吃起来很顺滑而且味道也很好。
最后,我也加了Nanimom的新鲜香菇粉来提升风味和营养。与购买Nanimom的宝宝调味料,混合香料和意大利面,请查看我们的官���网站https://nanimom.sg 哦

10 Easy Keto Recipes for Dinner
Keto Cookbook | Keto Desserts
01. Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken
Tumblr media
What could be better than a tasty keto Italian meal? Of course, a recipe that you prepare in just one skillet!
With the exception of the massive carbohydrate damage, this creamy Tuscan garlic chicken recipe is comparable to what you'd find at the Olive Garden.
To increase your vitamin intake, tomatoes and greens are added as a bonus, and the tender chicken breasts are perfectly seared and packed with protein.
It also doesn't hurt that it's delicious.
02. Easy Air Fryer Lemon Chicken
Tumblr media
The powerful Air Fryer has to be among my favorite inventions of 2021. In addition to cooking food faster, it also produces a crispy finish without adding too many calories.
The cook time for this simple Air Fryer lemon chicken recipe is only five minutes!
It's a perfect summertime staple for when you don't want the oven to heat up the entire house because the lemon adds a sprite of cooling citrus.
03. Keto Adobo Air Fried Chicken Thighs
Tumblr media
Even without breading, these chicken thighs cooked in the air fryer are delicious and come out nice and crispy.
Each bite gets a little kick from the adobo seasoning. Black pepper, oregano, salt, and garlic make up the traditional Puerto Rican seasoning. The combination produces a flavor explosion that will make you want more.
04. Keto Chicken Pot Pie
Tumblr media
Who doesn't enjoy a good pot pie? Since almond flour is used in place of the typical, carb-heavy pastry flour, this comfort food has become much cozier.
For those chilly winter nights, the creamy filling made with chicken, peas, and carrots is the ideal comfort food.
05. Low Carb Keto Shrimp Scampi with Zucchini Noodles
Tumblr media
I love shrimp scampi, and this recipe helps it feel less like a sinful indulgence.
To make a dish that is free of carbohydrates, zucchini noodles are used in place of spaghetti in this nutritious one-pan dish.
Seared shrimp, fresh parsley, and a recipe full of zesty lemon and garlic flavors make this dish absolutely delicious.
06. Keto Chicken Parmesan
Tumblr media
The breadcrumbs are the dish's primary ingredient, as any fan of chicken parmesan will attest. But this low-carb, crowd-pleasing "parm" will make you speechless.
It is not only low-carb, but also grain- and gluten-free. In this recipe, parmesan cheese and a spice mixture are used in place of coating the chicken in flour.
You'll wonder after taking just one bite of this dish why breading was even necessary.
07. Juicy Keto Oven-Baked Ribs
Tumblr media
Ribs that fall off the bone without spending hours baking? Really?
Yes! By cutting the prep time in half, this oven-baked ribs recipe replicates a traditional slow-cooked family favorite.
You can have juicy, tender ribs that will take you back to a summertime barbeque in just two hours.
08. Keto Fried Chicken
Tumblr media
Have you ever encountered a person who dislikes fried chicken? It's pretty much one of those universally adored recipes, unless you're a vegetarian.
You can satisfy your craving with this version without adding extra carbohydrates. On the outside, it is crunchy and crispy, but the inside is juicy and succulent.
Instead of using too much breading, you can recreate the comfort food staple by using almond flour.
09. Keto Chicken Cheese Broccoli Casserole
Tumblr media
Make this traditional holiday dish your new go-to weeknight meal! After all, when it's this quick and delicious, there's no reason to wait until November to enjoy a good keto Thanksgiving recipe.
This casserole of chicken, cheese, and broccoli is a hearty one-pot dish. Additionally, it is ooey, salty, and kid-friendly.
10. Keto Cajun Salmon Alfredo
Tumblr media
This salmon is flavorful and creamy.
Each mouthful of salmon is enhanced by the sauce's silky coating of the fish. The enticing spice from the cajun seasoning counteracts the blandness of the cream.
Together, you can create a meal fit for a restaurant using just eight basic ingredients.
This recipe is fantastic because the creamy sauce stops the salmon from drying out, making it difficult to err.

Farming Life (Final Effect)
Amethyst opened her eyes and smiled. It was time to get to work. She ate a quick breakfast under the watchful eye of her Averia plush toy and then brushed her teeth and got dressed. Some warm clothes and a stout pair of boots were accompanied by a forcefield projector and a scroll.
Her plush toy gave her a brief scan to make sure that everything was in order before following her outside. Some of the farmhands greeted her, and she gave them a cheerful wave in response as she went over to grab some feed for the chickens.
It was possible to just shove a whole bunch of chickens into cages, but experience had shown that raising them free range was better overall. Like all living things, they had Aura. Chickens raised free range had bigger Aura reserves, and that meant bigger, tastier, more nutritious eggs.
Her plush toy trailed after her as she went around feeding the chickens and checking that all of them were okay. The farm had good, strong fences, and they always had at least a few Mistral giant jungle rats on patrol. The big rodents were really friendly to her and everyone else who worked at the farm, but they were awfully fierce to stranger, especially predators who tried to sneak in and grab a chicken or two.
They had a bunch of the rats, and they lived out near the small lake about half a mile from the main house. They’d come over in shifts and even follow the livestock whenever they went to graze. There were a few things big enough to give them a proper fight, which was why the workers all carried weapons, but those same things were easy enough to see coming. A few good rats and a farmhand with a rifle was usually enough to scare off even the bigger nasties who sometimes came looking for an easy meal.
More recently, if there was bigger trouble, her plush toy could go out to deal with. Her plush was a new addition to the farm. Her daddy had gotten her since her mommy was going to have twins in a few months. They wanted someone who could watch over the kids and help out around the farm too. The Averia toy was almost two centuries old and refurbished, but her daddy said that she had plenty of life left in her. Besides, her weapons and other systems were still more than good enough for what they needed.
Once she was done with the chickens, Amethyst did a quick circuit to feed and check on the ducks, geese, and other birds. Then it was time to grab a chocobo and ride out with the sheep. They liked to rotate their grazing from place to place to keep it all healthy and give it time to regrow. A farm as big as theirs had seven or eight good spots for the flock to graze, which meant they never had to worry about any one spot wearing out. Her daddy had explained the whole thing to her many times because, apparently, not everyone was smart like that. Sure, you could always fix places that got wore out, but that took time, energy, and maybe you had to hire equipment to get it done or someone with the right Semblance. Sometimes, if you really messed up, you might even have to find a Cetra to help you do it, but there weren’t many of them around, and he said they always got kind of mad when they saw someone who messed a place up badly enough that they were needed.
As she headed over to where the sheep had been gathered with her chocobo, Wind-Feather, she whistled for a few of the rats to head over. They couldn’t keep up with a chocobo in full flight, but not many things could. Of course, they wouldn’t have to. They’d be walking the sheep over to the pasture, and a Mistral giant jungle rat could keep up with sheep just fine. Three of them trotted over - the rats knew what the routine was - and she hopped off Wind-Feather to give them each a good handful of feed. Another thing her daddy had taught her was that it was always best to feed the rats herself if she could. Sure, they thought of everyone at the farm as part of their group, but they’d think of her as extra special if she was the one that fed them.
As she was feeding them, she heard an amused chuckle from the cottage at the edge of the group of buildings centred around the main house. She turned and smiled sunnily.
“Uncle Easy!”
Uncle Easy put his hat on his head - not that he really needed it - and took a moment to check his hover bike. Chocobos didn’t take well to carrying anyone without Aura, and Uncle Easy didn’t have any to speak of. He was an old war-bot that had come to help work at the farm all the way back when Amethyst’s great-great-great-grandfather had started it.
The way he liked to tell it, Uncle Easy had been just another production model, something the Dia-Farron made in droves to help drive the Grimm back. They weren’t made to be smart or self aware - just to get in the way and drive the Grimm back with sheer numbers. When the fighting was done, they were all supposed to be recycled since it wasn’t like they had the smarts to know the difference. He liked to say they’d nearly all been as dumb as toasters, maybe dumber.
But the Dia-Farron did their due diligence. They knew from past experience that if you built that many robots, some were bound to end up smarter than they were meant to be. They ran tests on all of them before scrapping them, and Uncle Easy had been one of only a handful to show up as smart enough to save. They’d given him his citizenship and asked him what he wanted to do.
Well, Uncle Easy had spent that war fighting alongside a unit with Amethyst’s great-great-great-grandfather. Uncle Easy and him had gotten along well enough, and he’d offered Uncle Easy a job at the farm he was starting. Uncle Easy, well, the way he sometimes talked about that war, it was clear he didn’t like fighting much, and he must have figured farming would suit him better.
He was right.
He’d been working at the farm ever since, and although he’d been paid fair wages every day, which meant he had more than enough to buy his own farm or even retire and live somewhere nice, he still stuck around. He was fond of them, so he liked to say, and Amethyst’s grandfather had made a full partner in the farm, so he could stay there as long as he liked.
“Good morning, Amethyst.” His voice was a bit tinny - he still used his original speakers, refurbished, of course since they’d never been built to last this long - but there was no mistaking the good cheer. “You’re looking energetic today.”
Amethyst nodded. “Of course, I am. Daddy gave me a whole list of stuff to keep track of. I can’t let him down.” She was only twelve, but she knew she’d be inheriting the farm from him one day. She wanted to show she could handle things just fine while he and her mommy were away handling farm business off world.
“You’ve done an excellent job so far,” Uncle Easy said. “So why don’t we get the sheep moving? The new pasture isn’t far, but there’s no harm in getting their early.” He glanced up at the sky. “It’s a clear day today, but it shouldn’t be too hot.”
Her plush toy floated in the air behind her. “The weather forecasts indicate a clear, warm day. The next significant rainfall should be in roughly a week.”
Uncle Easy chuckled. His glowing optical sensors crinkled in what she’d learnt meant amusement. “It’s going to be fun having another robot around.”
The whole group of them - a girl, a plush toy, a robot, some giant rats, a chocobo, and a whole bunch of sheep - got moving. It was easy going, with the terrain being the sort of rolling plains that Villam VII was known for. This was a farming planet, and they hadn’t even needed to terraform it either. An exploratory drone had found it near on five hundred years ago, and people had started moving in right away.
“Hey, Uncle Easy,” Amethyst asked as they crossed a shallow stream, one eye on the sheep to make sure none of them were struggling. A few of the smaller lambs looked a bit wary, but the rats helped them across one by one, the sheep knowing full well that the rats were only there to help. “Why are you called Uncle Easy?”
It was something everyone had called him for as long as she could remember. She’d never thought to ask why. It was like asking why her name was Amethyst. It just was.
“I’m surprise it took you this long to ask.” He reached up, one reinforced neo-steell hand scratching at the back of his head in a distinctly human gesture. “It’s from my serial number. You see, when the Dia-Farron made us, each of us got a serial number, so they could figure out who was who. My serial number was EZ-9078-AD-1002-TL-2212. When you’re on the battlefield, that’s not too bad for other robots to use. We used to just talk to each other in info-bursts anyway. Humans and Faunus can’t communicate like that, so we used to get nicknames from the humans and Faunus. I was the only one in my group with EZ at the start of their serial number, so that’s what they called me. Over time, it just became Easy since it sounded the same.”
“Oh.” Amethyst’s brows furrowed. “Do you like being called that?”
“It’s the only name I’ve ever known,” Uncle Easy said. “And your great-great-great-grandfather was the one who first called me that. I think it suits me, and I like it just fine.” He chuckled. “I once thought of calling myself Bob, but I don’t really think Bob would suit me much.”
Amethyst giggled. “I don’t think it would either.”
Once they got the sheep over to their new pasture and settled in, she and Uncle Easy took the rats on a quick scout of the perimeter. There were smaller animals everywhere. They were this planet’s version of rabbits and mice, but they were no threat to the sheep, and it was better to leave them be since the plants out here needed them. They were more interested in the predators, the kind that could get at the sheep, especially the lambs.
They didn’t find any, and she and Uncle Easy settled down near some trees to watch over the sheep for a while. These were special sheep, so it was good to keep a close eye on them. Artificial fabrics had come a long, long way, but these sheep were bred to make a kind of wool that saw plenty of use even now because of how tough, light, and breathable it was. According to her daddy, but it was because of how the sheep used their Aura to make their fleece. It made it as good, maybe better, than anything a machine could make. People liked using it for clothing since it was so tough that it took ages to wear out but so comfortable they could wear it anywhere.
It would have been fine to leave the sheep if they had an Elder Sheep or Ancient Sheep, but they didn’t have any of those although Uncle Easy said there were was one sheep who might become an Elder Sheep soon. He was the biggest in the heard, and there was something in his eyes that made him seem smarter than the rest. Uncle Easy said she’d know because she’d feel it. Apparently, when a sheep became an Elder Sheep, it was like there was an explosion of Aura.
Her plush toy waited for her to settle in a bit longer herself before starting up a lesson. Amethyst sighed. It was nice having her plush toy around, but she could was a stickler for routine. She’d been told to give Amethyst lessons, so Amethyst would be getting lessons, one way or another.

“Hey...” Amethyst pointed. “What’s that Uncle Easy?”
The robot, who’d been checking the sheep for injuries, looked up. His optical sensors flared. “I do believe that is a ship.” He put one hand to the side of his head. “It’s not broadcasting anything... ah. Right. There. It’s broadcasting its designation now. It appears to belong to the Al Bed.”
“The Al Bhed? I don’t think one of their ships has ever come to our world before.”
“The last one came roughly a decade before you were born.” Uncle Easy straightened. “They’re probably here to trade. It’s a big part of how they make a living. They’ll most likely land in town and stay for a week or two.”
“Can we go have a look?” she asked excitedly.
“Of course. And I’ll have to contact your parents. There may well be things they want that the Al Shed might have.”
As dusk began to approach, they began to lead the sheep back toward the farm. There was a spot they liked to sleep in. It was up on higher ground, and it was close enough to the farm that if anything happened, help was right there. One of the lambs bleated hopefully and nudged Wind-Feather in the leg. Amethyst laughed and scooped the lamb up to ride on her lap for a while before letting him back down to walk alongside the others.
The farmhands welcomed them back - they’d been mustering cattle and other livestock or tending to some of the crops - and Amethyst gave them a cheerful wave in return. It was almost dinner time, and her parents liked to call in, so they could eat together, albeit via hologram.
As they passed his cottage, Uncle Easy gave her pat on the shoulder.
“Keep up the good work.”
“Do you want to come with me?” Amethyst asked. Uncle Easy didn’t need to eat, but he often sat with them while they ate since he enjoyed the company.
“It’s fine.” The robot inclined his head. “It’s that time of the year again, so I’d like to spend a little time out there.” He gestured vaguely at the rolling plains.
“Oh.” He was right. Apparently, there had been a really big battle this time of year back when he’d still been a war robot. He didn’t talk about it much, but it must have been bad. From what her daddy had told her, he’d almost been scrapped in the battle, and her great-great-great-grandfather had been hurt something fierce too. “You going to be okay?”
“I’ll be fine.” Uncle Easy patted his hat. “But I like to spend some time thinking about old times. It’s easier to forget than you’d think, especially when you’ve been around as long as me.”
“Contact us if you require assistance,” her plush toy said. “Or if there is a threat that must be terminated.”
“Sure,” Uncle Easy replied, chuckling. “I’ll do that.”

So grab your spoon and join us as we dive headfirst into the wild world of coconut bowling – it's like a tropical vacation for your kitchen.
The Origins of Coconut Bowls
1. Historical Roots: Coconut bowling traces its origins back to ancient cultures across the tropical regions of the world. For centuries, communities have utilized every part of the coconut palm, from its fibrous husk to its nutritious fruit. Among these traditions, coconut bowling emerged as a practical means of crafting functional utensils. From Pacific islands to Southeast Asian shores, coconut bowls served as vessels for food, drink, and ritual offerings, embodying a deep connection between humanity and nature.
2. Cultural Significance: In various societies, coconut bowling held profound cultural significance beyond mere utility. These humble bowls were symbols of abundance, sustenance, and hospitality. In many coastal communities, the act of sharing a meal served in coconut bowls fostered bonds of kinship and community. Additionally, coconut bowls often played integral roles in ceremonial practices, representing purity, renewal, and reverence for the natural world. Through the ages, coconut bowling has been a cornerstone of cultural heritage, embodying the timeless wisdom of sustainable living.
Crafting Coconut Bowls
1. Harvesting Coconuts: The journey of coconut bowling begins with the careful selection and harvesting of mature coconuts. Sourced from sustainable coconut groves, these versatile fruits are harvested at peak ripeness, ensuring the highest quality shells for crafting bowls. Through eco-friendly practices, coconut farmers honor the natural cycle of growth and renewal, preserving the integrity of the environment for future generations. Each coconut harvested represents a testament to the harmony between human ingenuity and the bountiful gifts of nature.
2. Artisanal Craftsmanship: Once harvested, the coconut shells undergo a meticulous process of transformation, guided by the skilled hands of artisans. Employing traditional techniques passed down through generations, these craftsmen expertly shape and polish the coconut shells, transforming them into exquisite bowls of unparalleled beauty. With precision and care, they carve out smooth interiors and intricate designs, showcasing the natural grain and texture of the coconut shell. Every coconut bowl crafted is a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship of these artisans, imbuing each piece with a unique character and charm.
The Versatile Uses of Coconut Bowls
Coconut bowling isn't just limited to the dining table; its versatility extends far beyond. These charming bowls serve as the perfect canvas for culinary creativity, elevating simple dishes into works of art. From vibrant smoothie bowls to hearty salads, coconut bowls add a touch of tropical flair to any meal. But their utility doesn't end there. Beyond the kitchen, coconut bowls find new life as decorative accents, bringing a touch of natural elegance to home decor. Whether used to hold potpourri, store jewelry, or display succulents, coconut bowls effortlessly blend style and functionality, making them a must-have accessory for eco-conscious consumers everywhere.

In today's world, where environmental consciousness is paramount, coconut bowling emerges as a beacon of sustainability. These bowls, crafted from renewable coconut shells, offer a guilt-free alternative to conventional tableware. By choosing coconut bowls, consumers not only reduce their carbon footprint but also support ethical and eco-friendly practices.
