One of my best friends from high school engaged in an international pen pal service. Many years later, she eventually married the Finnish man she had met through that letter exchange service (before the advent of the internet, but not too much before, lol). She now lives near Helsinki, but recently came back just this last month to visit many friends and remaining family members. (She can do the work-from-home thing which means she can work from just about anywhere so long as she has decent wifi.)

And she brought me Finnish chocolates (as she often does), which are less sweet than the kind you find in America, but quite good overall.

However, this time she brought a small bar as an experiment.

(The image is taken off of the Puhdistamo website.)

It's not a very big bar, about two fingers wide, a little bit more than finger-length long. But it was mint, and my friend knows I like mint.

Turns out, it does not taste like any chocolate I have ever had before. And the reason is in the "Raaklasuklaa" part of the name. Raw Chocolate*. (*Note, NOT a direct translation!)

What does that mean? Well...apparently...it's not fermented.

To clarify, chocolate goes through two (2) fermentation steps.

The first is when the pods are harvested, split open, and the seeds are scooped out and dumped into a pile with the pith (juicy bits) of the fruit, where they are lightly covered by leaves (iirc) and left to ferment in the open for a week or so.

Then they go to be cleaned, roasted, shelled, winnowed, ground, mixed with other stuff, special treatments of temperatures, etc...and then they get poured into bars that are then set aside for literal months to continue fermenting. This is the second round of fermenting.

I am not certain which step was skipped (it could be both for all I know), but this chocolate is not fermented.

Now, we mostly think of fermenting as being alcoholic (because drinks!), but it's not. Technically, pickles are fermented. Sauerkraut is fermented. This is a not-alcoholic-in-nature fermentation process that normal chocolate bars go through, to develop the rich, strong flavors that make chocolate so distinctive.

But in this Raakasuklaa bar...?

It's raw, not fermented.

The flavors are there, but they're very very subtle. The mint is much stronger. And like many things in Europe, it's not very sweet, so the mint is the highest riding note, but it's not overly sweet. (Kinda like spearmint gum, in fact.) Aside from the mint, it's mostly a texture that you notice. (Not an unpleasant one, just there's more texture than flavor...?)

I think this is a chocolate bar that those who cannot stand strong flavors would like.

Which makes me think of my fellow author Nalini Singh, and her Psy-Changeling universe, where the psy race underwent a century of emotionless existence in order to learn enough discipline to control their psychic powers. In order to ensure that cool logical attitude, they developed a lot of foods that were, well, bland. Because strong flavors provoke strong emotions.

This is a chocolate bar that would be consumed by the psy in Nalini's created world. it's a good bar that is remarkably mild Even if something is mild-mannered, that doesn't mean it's bad. It's simply something different.

If you are curious (and can get your hands on some), I say, why not give it a try?

(Just don't go into the experience expecting a strong flavor sensation.)

September & October 2022

How my reading went in September and October.

I know I say this, but November definitely crept up on me. After a wildly successful reading month in August I fell into a reading drought. I just honestly did not feel like reading at all, hence no post last month and the fact that I’m posting about September and October together. Sorry about that, but reading is like that for me. When I was posting more regularly I always used to try and have…

3 Sentence Ficathon

2.3.2024

Series on AO3

Psy-Changeling

Prompt: Any, any, outsider POV wildly misunderstanding what they're seeing - Judd Lauren & Hawke Snow

“Is this exercise teaching them tracking or fighting or are they learning something more specific to wolves?” Judd asked the alpha standing next to him as they watched a group of young wolf changelings run around in a fenced in outdoor area.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Hawke turn his head and fix those strange wolf eyes on him, before saying, “They’re just playing for fun, not training,” in a voice that said he wouldn’t remark on how that’s something he feels Judd should already know.

Judd doesn’t tell him that the fact he temporarily forgot something he learned from Arrow training materials about changeling weaknesses is actually a sign of how much living with the SnowDancer pack is changing him.

Teen Wolf

Prompt: any, any, feral - Stiles/Derek

“You’d think, out of the two of you, you’d have been the one who went feral,” Scott says thoughtfully as he watches Stiles try to bite a nearly hysterical Jackson while Lydia harangues him.

“I don’t think even the hunters could have predicted this being the result of mixing sex pollen and wolfsbane,” Derek says, watching Jackson decide to let Stiles bite him in hopes of saving his hair.

“Stiles, you should come home with me,” Derek calls across the clearing, knowing he could have stopped his mate at any time but no one could ever prove he’d let Stiles bite Jackson on purpose.

Prompt: Any, any, diffuse - Derek/Peter/Stiles

“Derek, man, you gotta help me, Peter gave me this oil diffuser thing and this schedule of when I’m supposed to use it and I think my roommate is going to request a room change because half the time it smells like weird herbs and shit and half the time it smells like man, which is disturbing, but mostly it just makes me seem incredibly creepy.”

“Stiles, I’m not getting in between you and Peter’s attempt to scent mark you while you’re at school and he can’t do it himself.

“Ugh, what are boyfriends for if not to protect their boyfriend from their other boyfriend, boyfriend—a word that no longer has meaning!”

Chosen One Universe

Prompt: any, any, gravitas - Eduard & Bebe

“I just feels it lacks a certain gravitas,” Eduard says, tugging at the hem of the denim jacket he considers so ugly he wonders if some of his mates are pulling a prank on him until he turns around and sees all eight of them staring at him in a distinctly horny fashion.

“OK, what is going on?”

Bebe, the chipper stylist, laughed and clapped his hands together before saying, “It makes your ass look fabulous and you’ve just put your mates through an entire day of clothes fittings—they’re hungry in more ways than one.”

Arthur crossed his arms. “You know what I want.”

“Yes, I do.” Sansa gave him a flat look. “You want to be insufferable and domineering. Like all dominant men.”

He arched an eyebrow at her. “I’m not like all ‘dominant men’, my lady. I’m an Alpha.”

Sansa rolled her eyes. “And it took you only five minutes to point that out. Lovely.”

“It’s in my nature.”

“It is.” She agreed way too easily. “Which is why we cannot pretend this is anything but temporary insanity.”

“Why?” Arthur pressed.

“We’re both Alphas, Arthur. This is unheard of.”

“Stop avoiding the word.” Arthur growled at her. “Say the words. What is unheard of?”

“Do not show your teeth at me.” Her eyes went wolf.

“Say the words, Sansa.” He pushed. “What is that we can’t do?”

“We cannot be together. At all.”

Ivy’s sweater slipped off her left shoulder when she leaned forward, baring skin of golden cream to the morning sunlight. “Okay, I get that.” She didn’t notice when he nudged the sweater back in place with [telekinesis], the temperature too cold for her to be so exposed. [...] “How did they know your subdesignation so fast?” Her sweater slipped again and he nudged it back. “It usually takes time to be certain, even with genetic markers.” [...] Vasic glanced at her shoulder, nudged the sweater back up. This time, she noticed, color on her cheeks as her hand went up to the spot. “How many times?” “Five.” He got to his feet before he could make it six. “I need to rest.”

One thing I do love about high stakes paranormal romances is that you typically do get to see old couples with an HEA come back, and while you know their HEA will last (this is why I always scoff at IAD readers who feel like "someone" has to die in the ultimate endgame... they don't.... lol at least not permanently; you can kill randoms, but you can't kill romance couples) you get to see them imperiled a little? And the Drama?

Like:

--in Kristen Callihan's Soulbound, we have an existential threat to the hero, which in turn creates an existential threat for all the supernatural creatures he's "sired", including two!!! Former heroines. Whose heroes subsequently get to cradle their prone forms (in the case of Jack and Mary of Shadowdance) or basically burn the house down in a case of werewolfy insanity (Ian and Daisy of Moonglow, one of my favorite romance couples of all time, who only got better through him literally growling over her prone form, I swooned).

--in Kresley Cole's Lothaire, when Mariketa of Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night (a book that was 8! installments prior) attempts to reach through a mirror and rescue/kidnap Ellie, only for Lothaire's Contractually Obligated Friend to cut her hand off (it grows back it's fine). Kresley just writes that Ellie hears a "beastly roar", but if you've read all the previous books, you know that's Bowen, Mariketa's husband/beast familiar werewolf man, who is VERY UPSET.

--and on a flip side, in Kresley's Sweet Ruin a few books later, you see Lothaire being very typically flippant about a Big Danger he's been called to help with, and Ellie isn't even named; but if you're a series reader, you understand exactly how the mood shifts when he snaps to the "female vampire" next to him to get the hell out of dodge IMMEDIATELY

(Kresley does not elaborate if she does, and it's Ellie, so I assume she Does Not)

This is also a benefit of being a series reader, of course; and I'll never be over the pure geeky joy of seeing two people I watched fall in love and be stupid for 400 pages come back to be in love and stupid on the sidelines, sometimes with MORTAL DANGER.

#romance novel blogging #i've read the first two psy-changeling books and plan on reading more but nalini singh also does this #anyway it's the best #i think i just love the constant threat of certain death in PNR #*honorable mention is conrad being called up to do some recon for the IAD immortals during the torture island arc #and neomi popping up to sweep him back away after like 'SEE THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE LEAVES THE HOUSE!!! HE HAS ANXIETY!!!!'
