Michel The Shade

Okay, a bit late, but time for me to post my opinions. Big Mac-Sugar Belle - One of 2 Canon ships. Heck, they got married! And Big Mac was always one of my faves. I may have shipped FlutterMac for a long while......but this just seems better, Lyra- Bon Bon - The other Canon ship. We see a mutual proposal in the Big Mac Sugar Belle episode, so.......I like it. And its been built up in the background, since Slice of Life. Also my OTP, so I may be biased/ Pinkie-Cheese - Meh. I guess its okay. If they had been anything to build it up, I guess. It just seems......forced to me. Plus, I never saw any chemistry other than "we have the same hobby/profession!" Which would be hard to build a relationship on. So I'm not against it......just.....meh, about it. AppleDash (implied) - Again.....Meh. I mean, I never saw them as romantic, because they are so competitive against each other. Deep friends, yes. But Lovers, not really. So I looked at them through that lens, and didn't see them as "together" together. Also, once again, no chemistry besides being competitive and trying to one-up each other. That would be a BAD nature to start a relationship on. Close Friends. FlutterCord (imlied) - No. I never agreed with his 'reformation', and he has PROVEN that he only exists to manipulate. He sold them out (YES, even Fluttershy) to TIrek. He betrayed them, and faced NO repercussions. he had shown himself to be manipulative, Posessive and prone to extreme Jealousy (Smooze, when Flutters invited her hippie friends instead of him as her +1), once again, facing NO repercussions for his actions. Heck, in his reformation episode, he manipulated Fluttershy, just so they couldn't use the Elements against him. And then, bringing back, the worst of the worst, manipulating everyone (even his so-called friends), which was by far the stupidest thing he has every done......and he faced no backlash. Fluttershy deserves better, not a manipulative backstabbing creep. Yona-Sandbar - Cute. Out of left field...... but cute! Just my opinions. And, a lot of people seem to share them. EDIT: Doctor-Rose Luck -UGH! I get it....ROSE. but she ISN'T Rose. Doesn't even LOOK like a ponified Rose. Should have been Derpy. Slice of Life implied something between them........and them ignored our wall-eyed mare forever.

Okay, starting off I AM a CHEF. I went to Culinary School and EARNED the right to call myself that. Secondly, I like food. I LOVE FOOD! And I love to SHARE food with others. So I got to thinking about MLP-related recipes. I thought it would be nice to share them Please share your own recipes. Heck, post recipes that AREN'T yours but that you like. If anyone is Interested, (or wants to contribute), I am making a FREE MLP Cookbook on GoogleDocs, and I'm willing to share it. Starting off, a recipe from a friend of mine (exactly as he wrote it, as per his request when I asked to use it) Cucumber Sandwich recipe. NO REALLY Submitted by Caerdwyn https://caerdwyn.deviantart.com/art/Cucumber-Sandwich-recipe-NO-REALLY-454692106 So. There was this show with horses in it. And there was "Q" from Star Trek, and he was all "prison food for ponies, I'ma betrays you!" And there was a mention of cucumber sandwiches. And people said "Whaaaaa? Cucumber sandwiches, that's not a thing!" CUCUMBER SANDWICHES BECAUSE THEY ARE A THING Soft-crusted bread, sliced (a "more wholesome than thou" stunt-bread with about a billion different grains works really well for this, but feel free to mock it mercilessly if the word "goodness" is anywhere to be found on the package) Cucumber, peeled and sliced about 1/8" thick Fresh spinach leaves Sliced ripe tomato (maybe 1/4" thick) Thin-sliced red onion (as thin as you can cut it) Fresh-style mozzarella cheese in 1/4" slices <--- choose the right cheese! It matters! None of that waxy slabby stuff you find with the Velveeta. Barbecue sauce THAT'S RIGHT YOU HEARD ME KC Original Masterpiece yo The secret to making a good cucumber sandwich is to keep the bread from getting soggy. You do this by layering correctly, keeping the wettest ingredients from being in direct contact with soft breads. Note that watery-wet like tomatoes and cucumbers is different from fatty-wet as in most sauces, which have oils and proteins that make them behave differently in contact with bread. Water will dissolve bread. That's yuck. The secret to making ANY sandwich good is about texture and "tooth". You do this by slicing things to the correct thickness and going easy on the sauces. Mayo is evil, okay? Layer it like this, Padawan, top to bottom. Bread. Mozzarella cheese slices. Onion. Tomato slices. Barbecue sauce SHUT UP IT'S GOOD YOU'RE THE ONE LOOKING FOR RECIPES PAL Cucumber slices (2 layers). Spinach leaves (lots and lots... no, more than that). Bread. It's an amazingly tasty sandwich that's low-cal and freakishly good for you. Aaaand if you want to take it to the next level, a few slices of thick-cut baked-to-chewy bacon make it just stupid-crazy good. But if I catch you cutting off the crusts like some frou-frou inbred European aristocrat I'ma empty a can of Cool Whip-@$$ on you.

Simply put, No. I like meat too much, and equines (horses, ponies) are herbivores. Plus, their diet of grass, hay, and dandelion sandwiches, etc, I don't think would provide very much nutrition. NOW...... there are also the more normal foods, such as what you find at Sugarbude Corner or at the Apple Family household. But most of the food that would be considered normal, by human standards, is sweets and junkfood. So, once more, No, as thats not a very healthy diet.

Lyra Heartstring, no question. I can't even remember WHEN or WHY she became my favorite character..... But I would hug her in a heartbeat!
