Christmas Thoughts - Video

[pikapikajankenpo]

Christmas time is around the corner. I noticed that this place is more of a Western Christmas all things around, so I need to find myself some kind of present-based Christmas party to go to or host.

Back home, Christmas in Japan is a huge date night for couples, both married and non. I haven't had a date since I was in high school, and even then I dropped out to focus on my work.

God I feel old...

Aw well, at least I have my kids. We'll be baking cookies for everyone, once I figure out this frankenstein of a recipe I found on the shelves. I'm almost terrified to brown butter here but here's hoping I don't burn down the building doing so.

I'm a little disappointed too, but spend a couple of years here and I got used to it.

I'm more about baking my own feast now and sharing it with others nowadays. It feels more rewarding.

[yu_hoo]

Yeah, gotta make do, I guess.

I'd bake one myself, but I don't really know recipe... So I might try making something approximate for me and my Pokemon.

[pikapikajankenpo]

I can transcribe the recipe I use and send it over. That'll help, right?

[yu_hoo]

I'd appreciate it! It'll make things easier to my end.

[pikapikajankenpo]

All right, just remember that the toppings vary so you can basically top it with anything and it'll come out fine. It's the baking that basically counts, and the filling.

[yu_hoo]

That's true. I should try and go a little crazy with it so it's something my Pokemon really enjoy too.

[pikapikajankenpo]

Just don't fill it with Pokechow and you should be set.

[yu_hoo]

Haha, yeah, I do want to be able to eat it myself.

[pikapikajankenpo]

It's just a delicate recipe so don't worry if you get it wrong a couple of times. Stir it too much and it'll collapse while baking. Just fyi.

[yu_hoo]

Yeah, I should be ready for that. I don't bake much, usually, so...

[pikapikajankenpo]

Yeah, just follow the recipe exactly and you should be okay. I'll send it over in a sec, just finishing up here.

[She sends it over in a moment, the instructions clear as day.]

[yu_hoo]

Thank you! I'll make sure to follow them.
