Welp…I just learned that if you leave a derpibooru window open and comment on a post AFTER it has been merged with another post, philomena just silently eats your comment, despite giving every indication that it was posted. Cool.
I uploaded a version of this page with the errors fixed, then spent some considerable time typing out a reply talking about what I learned about the origins of the term “kosher salt”, because I also find language and etymology interesting…and it all went poof when I posted, and I don’t feel like typing it up again, citation links and all. 😒

Meatless balls it is, then. Gotta say it looks good (and your recipe sounds good), I wouldn’t mind having dinner at the Cabernet house.
Words and their evolution interest me. The vowel change from the unfamiliar “kasher” to the familiar “kosher” when referring to the salt is an example of evolution.
Finely chopped mushrooms and onions, bread crumbs, rolled oats or rice, tomato paste, garlic, kosher salt, parmesan cheese, roll into balls, coat with olive oil, bake.
Well, that fits Wikipedia’s definition of a dumpling.
Yes, but “meatless balls” sounds funnier, so I’m sticking with it.
Going off on a tangent, I learned a little while back that “kosher” salt is actually “kasher” salt, kashering being another word for brining. Doesn’t really have anything to do with kosher dietary rules.
Interesting. The explanation I had heard was that it was often used in some kosher and kosher adjacent food preparation and preservation techniques, and was the style favoured for those. But yeah, a mineral is neither kosher nor treif (and neither halal nor haram, as I understand it, which rules are similar but not identical)
Kosher salt is my favourite to use for cooking, though. The flaky nature of it makes it easy to pinch and portion out carefully, and also gives it a lot of surface area, so it dissolves quickly.

And lost gigs don’t just hurt the rent budget; they cause food struggles too…
Well, there’s always Fruitbox for that.
Only if by “always” you mean “occasionally, if they get lucky.”
Dagi’ only got to feed off of Juice in the last episode by pure luck that the time he wasn’t busy with royals coincided with the time she needed him.
Thanks! I always worry when I do a serious/SFW story, that it won’t go over well.
As someone once told me, the difference between erotica and porn is whether or not you are still interested when the characters aren’t banging each other.

Or, riffing off Swingtown’s post, maybe she was going to segue into a story about looking into pro wrestling as a side job. (come to think of it, the sirens would be good at roller derby if they needed a sideline).
I said it on the last page, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if she’s been able to hear every one of Adagio’s little comments, but she’s pretending she hasn’t. She knows Adagio is putting on a front and she’s trying to draw her out to find out what the real Adagio is like.
You know, Adagio, if you don’t want Peach’s mom to worry about your finances, maybe don’t launch into a story about how you lost so much money and almost couldn’t pay rent.
Well, we don’t know where Adagio was going with that story before Peach contributed. She might have been about to say “but that’s in the past, we think we’ve got a real good gig lined up for next month”.

Huh. I’m going to guess that’s a typo. 4 and 5 are right next to each other on the keyboard after all. At least it’s not page X/Y.
