Attention healers! Are you unable to make it to an expedition with your friends? I've figured out an awesome way to make a healing feast for large groups! Start with-- ta-da!

[ He holds up a hot dog ]

One regular hot dog! [ He puts it in a bun, then covers it in an evenly distributed drizzle of ketchup and mustard and a jalapeno relish. ] I like it hot, but you can use regular relish too. Make sure that you don't put too much though, there's a lot of water in it and it can disrupt the process. Don't put anything chunkier than relish in though or you'll lose the hot dog consistency! You want roughly these portions, then put it in the grindy bowl.

[ He puts the assembled hot dog in a pestle and mortar... and starts mashing it up with the pestle. ] Mash it into a thick paste, then roll it up into a hot dog like so and cast your most powerful healing magic on it while you do... [ He rolls it up.. into a new hot dog? Then cooks it in a skillet. Then puts it into a new bun. ] Then repeat the process until it's as many servings as you want it to be.

[ And so proceeds the video with Taichi just... mashing up and reforming a hot dog and cooking the new hot dog in a skillet... about 15 times... until he has no more room in the mortar and has to plop it onto a the kitchen counter. He mashes it into a volcano shape and plops two eggs in the center.... ]

If you get to this big, you have to add eggs to keep it together! If you don't have any really strong healing spells, add another one here too. [ Then he KEEPS GOING.. until it's roughly the size of a pound cake. Since he doesn't have anything to say, he puts this song on so that you know how glorious what is happening is?? This is amazing. It only cuts out when the final form is formed. ] Then it's best to put it in the oven for the final stage and you can use a brioche loaf for the final bun if you're feeling fancy, or any loaf will do!

[ Yes, Taichi is feeling fancy.

He puts the "hot dog" into the oven and while it finishes up, he takes out a loaf of brioche bread... and proceeds to cut it longways through the middle, parallel to the table, leaving the very edge uncut so it's like a hot dog bun made of an entire loaf... The video cuts to him taking the loaf out of the oven, putting it on the brioche bun. He proceeds to load it up with jalapeno rings, onions, and liquid cheese on top. ]

Don't forget to top it off with some vegetables so it's healthy! You can slice it and distribute it for an easy way to spread your healing spells out and feed an army! I'll be trying to make some for the journey ahead, so try it out if you see it!

Taichi.

[Just. Just his name.]

[arf]

Azu-chan! Isn't this cool? Thought I think I need to find a way to get a little more meat in it, it's kinda bready.

[dottedline]

Where did you come up with this?

[Who is Azul killing--]

[plenilunium]

That is... certainly a creation!!

And your choice to use Mozart's Reqium for this video is...very inspired?

[He's honestly very disturbed but he can tell how hard Taichi tried! It would be mean to say this is pretty horrifying.]

[arf]

Well, like I said.. I was feeling fancy! And it has a real sense of import and awe-inspiring vibes!

[plenilunium]

Yes, an air of gravitas...

For your hot dog recipe. It's very frugal?

video; jade

[mushroomaficionado]

...have you actually tested this out?

[Jade doesn't know what to say. He half wants to enable, but Jade's stomach has doubts and that's a very rare occurrence.]

[arf]

Yeah, that's how I knew to put the eggs in! Actually...

[ His energy drops a little, but it's more of a bittersweet at this point than outright depression. It's been long enough anyway. ] When I was really depressed about Hikaru going home, I meant to mash up some stuff for guacamole and wasn't paying attention and put the hot dog in... and before I realized it I'd done it three times. When I was feeling better, I thought to try it again, but it would fall apart or not be very good because I tried to do it with chili and cheese or it didn't have anything the bind it.. but it finally holds together like this! It's a little bready, but it's not bad!

[mushroomaficionado]

[...well damn, now he can't actually make fun of you, Taichi.

For the most part.

I see. So it's a spontaneous experiment of yours. I would think you could season it instead perhaps. Though by this logic, wouldn't one get the same result just baking bread?

[mamowavin]

[ o... oh............................ Mamori's seen some interesting foods before, as the host of her own food show based solely on frozen foods reheated in a microwave, but that might take the cake! If the cake were made of mashed up hot dogs and shoved into a loaf of bread. ]

Um... I think that's... unique! [ Y-yeah! Unique...! ]

[arf]

Right?! Like something no one's ever made before!

[mamowavin]

[ sweetheart that's LITERALLY what unique means ]

How did you learn how to apply magic to your food? [ Quality or questionability of the food creation aside, that seems really useful...! ]

[Rei wasn't going to comment but the brioche bread is the last straw.]

Is this the natural conclusion of the long bread meme from like two years ago

[arf]

Isn't long bread just a hot dog bun or bread sticks in the end?

[groundzeroes]

[NOW HES GETTING PHILOSOPHICAL?!!?!?!?!!?!?!?! This kid never fails to crack him up. How does Taichi live like this constantly]

I look forward to your future storied career on Ye Olde Food Network

[inkbled]

( Rosa likes food! Rosa likes cooking! Rosa likes... [glances at Taichi's post] Revolution!

But uh seriously, she hasn't looked this concerned since the werewolf story. )

But... you could do this with any food, right?

[arf]

I can't figure out how to make magic stay in regular hot dogs, you have to mash them like this...

[ That's what she's asking, right? ]

[reloves]

...

[ There are so many things wrong with this.

And yet the only thing Minako seems capable of asking in this moment is just-- ]

Does it taste good? [ Curiosity killed the cat. ]

[arf]

It's not bad! I wouldn't say it's really good... It's kind of bready. There's room for improvement, but for rations on a ship it's definitely edible! I'm gonna work on making it better in the future.

video; un: redwine

[judgementor]

[So he's interested purely for the application of magic, but the method overall is... questionable. It only becomes more questionable as Taichi keeps going and ends up with something that, in Red Wine's mind, barely even resembles food.

But Red Wine, being a Food Soul, does have some opinions about food.]

That...

[Be nice, Red.]

Have you considered applying this technique to something that looks less like a doorstop?

[Nailed it.]

[arf]

It's a little big for a doorstop... If I baked it for longer you could probably use it as a battering ram to bust a door down though! It's big enough!

[ No, he would burn it, because Taichi doesn't know lower heat for longer would make it harden, he'd just crank it up and catch it on fire.

Either way, he sounds too proud of that. ]

[What... is this? Some manner of meatloaf? That's far too much bread.

He considers simply looking away and going about the rest of his day.... but, no, he has to say something. The effort may be well-meaning, but the execution is a travesty to the art of cooking.]

Have you considered applying your healing technique to dough instead?

[arf]

I don't know how!

[colchismagecraft]

[Aha, someone giving cooking lessons on the network! Sure it was for healing magic, but maybe she could use it with her curses instead... And so, she gets a notebook and starts to quickly make some notes- but it doesn't take long to realise something. Isn't quite right.

She still has the notebook in hand when she turns the video on.]

...are you certain about this? This seems.

A little excessive.

[Okay so she's a bad cook but even she can tell something's up here!]

omg sorry i disappeared there was a lot going on...

[arf]

Well, it's a recipe so you can serve a lot of people on a trip! You can do the same thing with only remaking it once with the spell!

[ It'll be more concentrated, but his idea was that it could be used as rations! ]
