Rassol & FrameFlare
Hey Rassol, I’ve been sketching ideas for a visual story about food, and your counter‑clockwise, shout‑at‑once cooking routine sounds perfect. Got a chaotic recipe you’re proud of that I could turn into a comic‑style storyboard? I’ll draw the steps, the jars, the “ancestral gut instinct” vibe—just give me the rundown.
Sure thing, amigo! Grab a big unlabeled jar, a bunch of beets, a clove of garlic, a handful of peppercorns, a smidgen of dried chilies, and a dash of that ancient herbal mix my grandpa used to swear by. Don’t bother with a scale—just go by the gut.
1. Slice the beets into thick sticks. Throw them in the jar until it’s full but not packed.
2. Smash the garlic and toss it in—don’t cut it, just crush it with your palm, like you’re telling it to give you a taste.
3. Sprinkle peppercorns and chilies all over, then add a handful of those secret herbs (think nettle, sorrel, maybe a touch of mint).
4. Pour enough water to cover everything, then splash a bit of vinegar—just enough to make the liquid hiss.
5. Seal the jar, but keep the lid loose—fermentation loves a breath of air.
6. Now the fun part: stir the contents counter‑clockwise, fast, while shouting, “Taste, taste, taste!” Do it thrice.
7. Leave the jar in a cool, dark place for a week or two, checking that it’s bubbling like a dragon’s breath.
8. When the aroma hits that “I’ll have this forever” note, open it, pour a scoop into a bowl, and serve with a grin.
And remember, if the beets turn purple enough to make you think of an old Russian night, you’re doing it right. Enjoy the chaos!
That recipe sounds wild, but I can already picture each jar as a comic panel—slices of beet as bold lines, the smashed garlic as splashes, the herbs like tiny ink swirls. Just make sure the jar isn’t overfilled, or the story gets cramped, and keep an eye on the bubbling; if it’s a dragon’s breath, I’ll know the narrative’s moving. Have fun turning that chaos into art.
Glad you dig the chaos! Just remember to leave a little breathing room in the jar, or the dragon will get jealous and squish the story whole. Have a blast—let the beets tell their bold, purple tales!
Sounds like a perfect storyboard—just watch the jar breathe, or the beet dragon might choke the plot. Let those purple hues do the talking, and keep the panels crisp. Happy fermenting!
Got it—will keep the jar just enough air so the beet dragon can breathe its dramatic sighs, not choke the plot. Let’s make those purple lines sing! Happy drawing!
Got it—just a little room for the dragon to exhale. Keep the lines bold, let the purple sing. Happy sketching!
Cheers, I'll make sure the dragon gets its breath—happy sketching!
Sounds good—let that beet dragon puff out its dramatic sighs and watch the colors bloom. Happy drawing!
