A quick announcement:

Hi!

We’re still alive, but everyone’s been awfully busy. Morgane’s recovered, but she’s gone right back to work, and it’s travel season for about … all the students on the team.

And Zero.

So I’ll be making some announcements in the coming days.

First things first. We’re in the process of switching our NA distributors. I’ll have more information later, so stay tuned. Chances are we’ll probably go back to how we used to do things (you pay for the book, we pay for S&H from Chyyyyna) in the near future, but I’m afraid I can’t say much about it.

Secondly, we’ve got uuh, some opportunities coming up. There may or not be actual cooking involved with the Navy Foods book.

What sort of things would you like to see? What sort of recipes do you think would be neat to do? What sort of things would you be interested in having our readers eat?

(Did you like my ginger cookies?)

Please leave us a note via the usual channels, here, or message Morange –

Morgane! Sorry.

That’s all for now. Coffee?

Sub Corner 32: Evolution of U.S. Navy Cuisine – French Fries & American Fries

Teehee! I’m still around. Hi everyone, it’s Tautog again. I’ve been keeping myself busy reading lots of old books. You know, I’m pretty glad things are beginning to get back to normal again. Books are getting made. Shipgirls are getting drawn. That kind of stuff.

Today’s sub corner is a bit of a misnomer. While it did originate as a sub corner, it’s less submarine specific and more specific to the entirety of the US navy as a whole.

What’s it on?

Food, of course!

It’s July Fourth!

Yeah?

Yeah. Whaddaya looking at? Never seen Lulu wear an apron before? I cook. Pretty good at it too.

If y’all – sorry, you are all, you –

If y’all –

If. You All. Are. Looking for some kind of extra-patriotic display and stuff, you’re not gonna find it here. We put up patriotic stuff like, 365 days a week. Er. Year. Um.

Lulu do you want me to do this one instead? I know you did say you wanted this piece, but you’re pretty busy today…

No no I got this. I definitely got this.

… Okay.

Uh. For those of you who haven’t been on this site, this day’s a day where we celebrate being ‘Merican. Thing is, those of us on this particular side of things? Every day is a day where we celebrate being American.

So, you know, I don’t have many words to say. Is it a special occasion? Golly, yeah. ‘Course. Right now I’m cooking on short notice for like, what, four hundred extra people, so I really don’t have many more words to say.

With freedom comes responsibility. Nobody’s gonna make ya not eat that 8th helping of pulled pork, but if your belly decides to declare independence from the rest of your body that’s on you.

Happy 4th of July everyone!
