Food Update and FE_Fest wibbles

[mark_asphodel]

 So, a while ago I experimented with chocolate-chunk sourdough French Toast, which didn't work so well.  When my most excellent spouse scored a day-old loaf of chocolate-chunk challah, also from Zingerman's ovens, I decided it was time to redeem myself with the breakfast deities.  This time around I adapted Alton Brown's recipe for French Toast, adding vanilla (because I love vanilla) and skipping the step where the fried bread goes in the oven.

The results?  Tender bread pieces with lacy brown exteriors, perfumed with honey and vanilla, studded with gooey chunks of dark chocolate.  Oh, yeah.  Much better.

Somehow, my "Band AU" fe_fest piece has mutated from a character piece analyzing the dynamics in my four-man band of Ephraim, Lyon, Innes, and Joshua to a thing wherein Amelia, Neimi, Lute, and Vanessa show up to fangirl said band.  Well, Lute's not fangirling so much, but... you know.

Meh.

Also trying very hard not to make the piece a world-spanning mashup, in part because the idea of Eliwood-Hector-and-Lyn as a power trio is awfully cute.

Justin Bieber!Roy is also a good bad idea, though the idea of Eliwood and Roy at equivalent ages at the same point in the space-time fabric raises more questions than I ever want to answer.  And no, I'm not making them brothers.

. . . Justin-Bieber-Roy is possibly the most terrible thing ever.

world-spanning mashup sounds awesome Oh what, what was that?

And digging the idea of Joshua interacting more with other royalty dudes, and the inevitable bitching that would come with Innes and Lyon meeting up.

Yeah, I was working off a template of a real band, with Ephraim & Lyon forming one creative axis and Innes & Joshua forming the other. With a good deal of friction between the two and a particularly shitty relationship between Lyon and Innes.

And Innes and Joshua being fuckbuddies but let's not get into that now.

I hate that my brain immediately started trying to make sense of who was which Beatle.
This is what comes of raising children on Sgt. Pepper.

Hah. The template was/is Pink Floyd, actually.

BieberRoy. Homg. My mind might break.

*imagines Roy rocking out to "Baby"*

...Never mind, already did.

Also, that sounds delicious. The breakfast gods must be pleased. (Then again, I wouldn't know because I never eat breakfast.)

XD I regret I ever made that off-hand comment! ...okay, I lied; I REGRET NOTHING!!!

And no, I'm not making them brothers.

Hah! The Blues Brothers! El[i]wood and Roy. Mission from Elimine. Gettin' the band back together.

Amelia, Neimi, Lute, and Vanessa

That is the quirkiest assembly of groupies I could ever imagine. :O And groupies are, almost by nature, quirky.

Heheh.

That is the quirkiest assembly of groupies I could ever imagine.

Well, they're FE8's teenaged girls, or at least I assume them to be. Tethys would be a very different kind of groupie. Marisa would be... I dunno, one of the road crew or something.

Yes! The roadies! Who'd be the roadies, I wonder? Garcia and Ross'd totally help with the heavy lifting, I think. And Seth'd be the stage manager.

I just thought of something...if you do make this a full blown crossover, you could have Eliwood and Jake together. Then you'd really have the Blues Brothers thing going. XD

Jake and Eliwood. HEH.

Justin Bieber!Roy

Oh...God. I don't even. I just. /CURLS UP AND DIES

Also Lute wouldn't fangirl, but she would be staring with A LOT OF CONCENTRATION probably dissecting musical equipment with her eyes or something. Who knows with Lute. :P

but she would be staring with A LOT OF CONCENTRATION probably dissecting musical equipment with her eyes or something.

Yes. Oh, yes.

And maybe inspecting Lyon for vibrations of eeeeevil.
