Just Desserts
View allAll Photos Tagged just-desserts
While Saturday, June 10, 2023 was a mostly cloudy rainy day, the sun dropped below a thick layer of high clouds at sundown, just in time to illuminate the Denver Z as it rolled through Echo, Utah. Glory be to those who wait!
Coming to Necrosis this round (January 29-February 12) is Be My Mannequin? Pose Store with TWO exclusive poses based on the theme: Tainted Love! Here is the second of the poses: '...I'll Kill You...' which helped me create my picture: Just Desserts.
With your purchase, you get a chef's knife (clean and bloodied versions) which attaches to your hand directly from your inventory! They both make a great prop for future photographs as well!
(Note: The chef's knife is not shown in picture as to show the versatility of the pose but you can see it at Necrosis or in the sister picture: One Last Chance.)
...I'll Kill You... is certainly a creative couples pose, and I've not seen another like it! I love the ground lay because its so unique and the standing pose is exceedingly versatile and looks great from any angle!
Come over to the Necrosis event when it opens on January 29th and DEMO it personally! See you there!

Special thanks to the owner/creator of Be My Mannequin? Pose Store for posing for me: Vin Raven-Mysterious! Be sure to check out his phenomenal photography in People in Photo!

It was said that a rogue demon had been ravaging the temple on the far end of the woods outside of the capital; taking lives of the monks and priests who lived there. The monks and priests just couldn't figure out who it was so they sent for help. That help was me.
I arrived the night I got my orders and took in the appearance of the temple. It was old and who knew what kind of entities lived here? But I am good at what I do and it didn't take me very long to find the tainted one among them. There were whispers of orange, glowing demonic eyes coming from the shadows. All night I hunted it down and finally, as the dawn began to break, I found my target.
The sound of an angry scream could be heard echoing the halls of the temple as one of the priests fell to the floor to his knees, blood pooling from the wound to his stomach where I'd managed to strike. This priest was no priest at all and it became evident as it began to lose its human form. Its demonic, tipped ears and piercings revealed itself as the orange glow of its eyes began to fade. It fell forward, squishing in its own blood upon the floor as it finally lay dead and unmoving.
I stared, cross in my left hand and bloodied knife in my right. I wanted to make sure it wasn't going reanimate itself somehow. Once I was sure of its death, I took a clean handkerchief and began to clean the blood from my blade, watching as blood began to gather and pool below the body. That creature got its just desserts.
Not a usual shot of the pier (which has a bend in it and looks weird anyway)....as there was a workshop of togs just to my left and they showed no sign of letting me play (Americans) ....so I quite liked this alternative. Anyway...just desserts when a bonkers dog-lady came with her 2 lively dogs and she insisted on throwing a ball in by the pier so that the dogs could cause maximum upset to the (by now) very grumpy leader of the workshop... Schadenfreude....
Went with very old friends to a fine eating house in the capital city. Only to discover one of my friends had collaborated with the establishment. Rhubarb and white chocolate !!
Have a happy Wednesday!
Smile On Saturday-Cookies Or Cake
This is called Eve's Pudding. It's basically Apple Cake. It contains batter and Apples for the most part. This was made with Burgundy Apples. I removed the Apple Crisp, it wasn't a cake or cookie.
Appears that lots of our garden visitors are partial to a blackberry or two. I have to get up really early if I want to get a look in or I’ll probably get my just desserts 😆
There is always one idiot who spoils things for everyone. Whoever they are, may they get their just desserts
This was the heron's 3rd catch in about 5 minutes, I was left baffled as to their digestive systems, plenty of food in the gulf of Mexico

When lunch invites
murder to the kitchen,
tthe deed’s rewarded
with a favored meal,
witnesses are hushed
with glints of steel,
better off ignored,
than just dessert. :-)

millefeuille procured at despina's at erithrea, athens, greece, geotagged at flickr, a perfect encore to the day's meal.
i don't normally edit in picnik, but i liked the ortonish effect on this one.
Finally got a good sunset but wasn't in a great location as had no foreground interest so out came the longer lens and shot across towards Edinburgh. I went to Gullane and there was swell on the headland but towards the sunset there was no movement so settled for the sky rather than the rocks. Just a mad range of colours that appeared quite a time after sunset
Exposure about two seconds and this is pretty much straight out of the camera. Got a few panos but not sure if they will stitch together with the wave movement.
One to one long exposure tuition slots filling up so please contact me if you are interested

A shoutout to Karl Hadazuma who has given his avatar to be used as a stand-in for Putin and in the hope that peace will come to Ukraine on Ukraine's terms and those deserving of it will be punished for their crimes against humanity.

This was probably the most novel and tasty dumpling of the evening. Maple-sweet ground walnut filling inside a sorghum wheat dough. I can't imagine the amount of handiwork involved to make the outsides look like walnuts!! It was very (American) autumnal.

The array we came home to after the beach walk. Please realise this was for 14 and half of them young adults with impressive appetites! The eating could be done outside in the sun.
I have a thing for television baking shows, and my favorite is Zumbo's Just Desserts.
Occasionally I feel inspired to try my hand at it. This was a Zumbo Easter breakfast recipe, with chocolate pancakes, caramel whipped cream, berries, and a hollow chocolate egg on top. When you hit the egg with a spoon, it cracked open and caramel sauce poured over the pancakes. It wasn't the prettiest (helped by clever processing), but it was heavenly to eat!!

Cruella De Vil... She is infamous in every way. As a rich woman, she expects nothing but the best and will stop at nothing to get exactly what she wants. This menacing yet elegant lady wears jewels from Junbug, a jumpsuit from Pixicat and a fur coat from COCO Designs. More jewels adorn her face, another sign of her wealth while she wears a most classy fascinator head piece from LODE. What is the one item she craves above all else? A dalmatian coat, of course! Thankfully, she has not been successful in obtaining it. Eventually, like every villain, she will receive her just desserts.

We made it back to the labs, and Jay went off to change into some clothes that Cisco could find for him, and I got out of my uniform and changed into my usual outfit. I talked to Cis and Cait for a bit until I went to go look for Jay. I ran around until I saw him slumped against a wall. He was in an outfit similar to what the Jay from this world wore, a jacket and a t-shirt with jeans. To me, it looked like he was looking at something sadly. I walk up to him and sit down, looking at him. In his hands is a silver compass with a golden lightning bolt engraved on it. Inside is a picture of a woman inside.
“She’s beautiful,” I say, and Jay smiles.
“Her name is Jessie. She’s been helping me learn how the Velocity-9 that gave me my powers affects me and others,” he sighs, and chuckles lightly, “It’s strange how well this world handles metahumans. On my world, it’s hard to even be a hero, powers or not, with criminals like the Rival. Here, you have a pretty strong number of individuals trying to do good, even if some take it to questionable degrees, like that one in Gotham.”
“Yeah, it’s nice to have a few people I can count on,” I reply, then become perplexed, “Y’know what, I just thought of something. I think this world’s Jay Garrick is married to a Jessie. It’s weird though. My Jay Garrick is married to a woman named Joan.”
“Your Jay Garrick?”
I freeze up. Crap. How did I let that slip? I take a deep breath and sigh. Here we go. I turn to Jay and start to explain everything that’s happened to me in the last few months. He nods occasionally, taking in everything I’m saying.
“...And now we’re here,” I finish, and giggle slightly, “I’m actually named after you, kind of.” He laughs.
“It’s kind of a relief. At least I’m not the only one far from home. Wait...you said your father was the Flash on your world?”
“Y-yeah,” I mumble, my throat beginning to become heavy, “It’s a tough subject for me to bring up, but he was. His name was Barry Allen.”
“That’s gorgonzola!” he cries, and I can’t help but laugh.
“Jay, here and on my world, gorgonzola is cheese, not a word that displays excitement,” I joke, and he grins.
“I know. It’s a cheese on our world too, I just wanted to see if you would catch that. Anyways, the Barry Allen on my world is extremely well known. He was actually a speedster before I was. He called himself the Scarlet Speedster. But...he disappeared ages ago, and no one has seen him since.”
I stare at him, shocked. My father was on his world, and was a Flash. Maybe he could still be on Earth-2! I start to ask him more, but Cisco’s voice comes over the P.A. system.
“Yo, guys! Something just popped up. There’s a major disturbance on Johns, where the old amusement park is. Oh my-well, looks like you guys can get some just desserts in. It’s Mirror Master.”
We look at each other.
“Once we get him, we can work on finding the Rival. For Jessie.”
With a nod, he and I rush back into the lab. Cisco hands me the updated armor I wore when I went against the Rogues, with some new modifications and a sleeker design.
“Here. You'll probably be better off wear this until I finish the reconstructions on your usual suit. I don't need another meta ripping it up.”
“Thanks, Cis.”
“No prob, fam.”
I turn to look at Jay, who’s already in his costume. My figure blurs as I quickly slip the armor on. When I’m done, Jay nods to me.
“Are you ready, Flash?”
“I am indeed, Flash. Let’s bust some mirrors.”
With that, we rush out of STAR and make our way to Scudder.
---
Moments after the two Flashes speed off, Cisco and Caitlin sit and talk about their lives and everything that's been going on recently. Suddenly, both tumble over, knocked unconscious. A man blurs into existence and tramples around the room, looking for it. His eyes brighten as he sees Jamie’s suit on a table. Quickly, he grabs it and slides a small chip into the lightning bolt emblem it has on the chest. The man cackles as he does this, and speeds back to his exit/entrance: a steel elevator hidden to all. As he enters it, he simply giggles with dark glee as he finally cements the next few parts of his plan.
“Soon, Jamie Allen...your speed will be mine.”
There was a place here a long time ago called Just Desserts with some of the most sumptuous desserts in the city. Then a deadly crime took place there...
The results are in for the Festival Alley Cookie Contest, and once again Stormtrooper Bruce did not get what he wanted, but it could have been worse. And since it's the last Movie Night of the year, he and the guys are celebrating with a Movie Marathon Weekend!
TK-1110: Dude, we just heard the results of the contest and hurried over to make sure you weren’t wallowing in misery again.
TK-432: Actually, we wanted to make sure you didn't drink up all the brewskies before we could get here.
STB: Granted I didn't win what I wanted, but 2nd place with a Dessert of the Month Club membership can't be all bad, can it?
TK-432: Knowing the P, let's just hope they're not bizarre, weirdo desserts from planets no one has ever heard of before!
STB: I'm hoping they'll just be from his private chef using recipes from that same lame cookbook I won as a prize a while back.
TK-1110: But nothing will taste as good any of the desserts you make!
TK-432: And nothing as bodacious, exotic or even exciting.
TK-1110: Wait! Maybe he's using us a guinea pigs for some ...
STB: Guys, what’s with all the whining and complaining? We're Troopers. Let's try to be positive for a change.
TK-432: But I like whining and complaining.
TK-1110: Me, too. But maybe you're right. This could possibly be a good thing. And, I did bring this bottle of wine - which is always a good thing!
STB: Who knows? The next twelve months might be so good we'll all have to go on diets.
TK-432: Diets! No way! Can I whine and complain now?

My darling wife has less days off than I do, due to my shift pattern and often wakes me to say dawn is looking promising, while she drives to work. Of course, when she gets a day off the sunrises are either rained off or just pathetic. We've just been out together and witnessed a stunning sunrise on our local beach and I'm delighted for her! I prefer the light before dawn and the town's street lights are still on in this shot. Whitby is on the North Yorkshire coast and is where I grew up.
