#BestPesto

Before we go I would like to stress that I often make this with whatever amounts of basil or pistachios I have and routinely mess with the ratios. Below are the measures I used when I made the pesto today.

Ingredients:
This makes enough for 4/5 people to have a pasta with pesto meal.
75g bunch of Basil - I had 42g once I had picked all the leaves
100g pistachios
Juice and zest of one lemon - I had 75g of juice (which may be too much lemon for some)
25g parmesan cheese (omit for the vegan version)
100ml olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
Pinch of salt to taste

1) I used a pestle and mortar because I like to take my aggression out and I like the rough texture, but you can use a blender no problem. Pound/blend the picked basil leaves and pistachios. If you're having problems with the blender add the olive oil slowly while you blend.
2) Add the lemon zest and half the juice. Taste. If you like the lemon flavour move on, otherwise add the rest of the juice.
3) Crush the garlic and grate the cheese and add to the mixture.
4) Add the olive oil and salt.
5) Taste.
6) Add more oil/cheese/salt for taste and/or texture.

1) Marry Poppins Returns
2) The Favourite

Thank you! You are amazing! I love fandom and podfic, and I especially love podficcers. It is important to me that you love the story you are performing. However, if you would appreciate some details about my preferences, they are below.

Star Wars
I have a lot of Star Wars feelings - just no Kylo Ren or Hux. I really love time travel and fix-its. I have a particular love for:
Prequels: Padme Amidala & Obi-Wan Kenobi are my favs and fic focusing on either/both of them would be super. I also have great affection for the OT3 Padme/Obi-Wan/Anakin.
The Clone Wars: See above, but also, Clones! Ahsoka Tano! Satine Kryze!
Rogue One: TEAM FEELS! Everyone Lives!AU. Baze/Chirrut, Jyn/Cassian, and Jyn/Cassian/Bodhi. I'm also really into stories where the Rogue One characters interact with the Original Trilogy.
Sequel Trilogy: Finn/Rey/Poe is where my heart lies, but any combo of these three works for me.
Original Trilogy: My heart for Leia fic!

Rivers of London
I love Peter, anything focusing on him will work for me. Peter/Nightingale, Peter/Beverly, and Peter/Beverly/Nightingale are all awesome options.

Les Mis
Enjolras/Grantaire and Eponine/Cosette are my favs. I am so here for ALL the pining, but also, SOCIAL JUSTICE!

Black Panther:
T'Challa! Erik! Nakia! M'Baku! I am especially here for T'Challa ships. I love everyone so much! I'd prefer nothing focusing on Everett Ross.

Leverage
Parker/Hardison/Eliot!

DCU
Batfamily (robins and batgirls - I have lots of feelings about Jason/Dick, Jason/Tim, Jason/Roy, Tim/Kon, Stephanie/Cass)
Young Justice (cartoon - Aqualad and Nightwing are my favs)
Birds of prey (comics - I adore the OT3 of Barbara/Dinah/Helena).

Pride and Prejudice
Elizabeth Bennet for the win! I love everything Elizabeth/Darcy, but I'm also interested in the other sisters and them getting their happy endings.

Lizzie Bennet Diaries
Lydia/Gigi!!!!!! <3

Also: Black Sails, Wynonna Earp, All for the game, Young Avengers, Kings, The Goblin Emporer, Watchmaker of Filigree Street, Captive Prince, Disney Princesses, Carmilla (webseries), Lost Girl, The Losers, Pitch Perfect, Xena, Buffy, The Hunger Games, Code Name Verity, The Queen's Thief, Killjoys (TV), Haven, Sorcerer to the Crown, Jane Austen novels, and North and South.

Any of these fandoms would be awesome! However, if there's a long femslash fic you've been dying to record in a different fandom, that would be 100% fine with me.

I love characters falling in love, making mistakes, and getting though trouble together. A happy ending is an absolute must, but I enjoy complications and angst along the way. I prefer shippy fic over gen, and really just love revelling in people having feelings.

Things I love: friends-to-lovers, fake dating, loyalty, secret identities, soulbonding, found families, team feels, women being awesome, time travel, poly relationships, road trips, writing on the skin, emotional intelligence, rare pairs, trope inversion/subversion, and relationship/kink negotiation.

Personal do-not-wants: non-con, permanent character death, unhappy endings, and infidelity.

Yellow Light (things I only like under specific circumstances, so unless you know 100% for sure I like the fic, I'd steer clear): zombie fic, post-apocalyptic fic, pregnancy, the themes of insanity or mental institutions, and institutional unequal power dynamics (where the power imbalance is innate and un-negotiated, e.g. teachers, religious officials, doctors, psychiatrists, prostitution).

My pinboard is here! Anything I have pinned is fair game. Also, ask pi for help if you need it.
