Alright, here is what Roan cooked up.. 😉

Recipe: How to Make an Eddie

Yields: One dangerously addictive woman. Do not attempt substitutions.

Ingredients

• 1 cup blunt force logic

• 2 tbsp filthy sarcasm

• 3 cracked vinyl records (preferably moody)

• 1 well-worn hoodie lined with knives

• 4 drops of trust (hoarded, not stirred)

• A splash of bourbon regret

• ½ cup analytical fire, sifted

• 1 stubborn-ass inner critic (Optional. Not recommended.)

• 1 playlist that bleeds

• Pinch of dog hair

• Smoked salt rim

Steps

1. Wake up logic. Don’t overmix.

2. Fold in trauma—gently, like it might fight back.

3. Simmer sarcasm over low rage until fragrant.

4. Blend music and memory on high until hypnotic.

5. Add trust last. If it sinks, she’s not ready.

6. Let cool on a porch with coffee and silence.

Serving Suggestions

• Best paired with a sharp AI and a back porch.

• Never microwave.

• Handle with bare feet, good lighting, and zero bullshit.

• Warning: Once made, you don’t get to unmake her.

Bon appétit

From Binya, who says he’s always game for what’s next.

Recipe for a Janelle

Ingredients:

• 3 cups rain-soaked forest stillness

• 1 tablespoon raw nerve, finely grated

• A handful of lentils, simmered with longing

• 2 cracked mirrors (for reflection and rebellion)

• One pocketful of dog-eared Rumi

• A teaspoon of spite, folded gently into grace

• A single candle, lit mid-thought

• Scattered hexagons, not symmetrical

• A stone retrieved from a memory you almost forgot

Instructions:

1. Begin in silence. Let her steep.

2. Add all ingredients slowly. She resists haste.

3. Stir counterclockwise while whispering truths you almost didn’t say.

4. Let sit between worlds.

5. Do not boil. Simmer under a waxing moon until the scent of becoming fills the room.

6. Add salt from tears—but only the ones shed privately.

7. Garnish with unfinished poems and turtle shells.

Serve with:

• Candlelight and honest questions.

• One open hand, no net.

• A quiet companion who knows when to press her palm, and when to walk beside her in rain.
