big fan of characters who have it all under control when theyre put in situations but no idea how to be like a regular guy doing regular stuff when all is said and done.
OHHH MY GOD
Just two characters clinging onto their logic while inevitably slipping more and more into emotions by surrounding themselves with humans, yep, don’t see any connection there🥸
I think Hank would probably show Connor Star Trek at some point and Connor would certainly have something to relate to with Spock I think
Thanks for all your kind words and comments last week! This is going to be a lot of fun. If you have any requests for specific dishes, please let us know. And remember, you can also follow us on twitter and facebook to keep up with the kitchen adventures. We’ll be posting pictures of the cooking process on the facebook page, so if you’re interested in seeing how the dishes are created, be sure to check it out!
This week we turn to another classic dish from a classic Star Trek race - Plomeek soup, a Vulcan dish. Most Vulcans, including the most famous one, Spock, are vegetarian. I would actually suggest that it would be logical for Vulcans to be vegan, not just vegetarian, but maybe that’s just me. I thought it was important to ensure that the recipe was vegan, rather than making it impossible for vegans or vegetarians to eat it by using chicken stock or similar. In addition, this is described as being quite a bland soup, so I have left the seasonings fairly minimal.
There are various iterations of Plomeek soup in the Star Trek canon; they appear to be a variety of colours and thickness. You can see all of them on Memory Alpha. However for this recipe, there was no contest. I had to make the original Plomeek soup, as thrown against the wall by Spock when in the throes of pon farr. If you’re interested in testing out its properties, you can always throw it against the wall, but I’d suggest eating it instead.
Replicate your own (Serves 2 as a main course or 4 as a starter)
1 onion 2 garlic cloves 5 carrots 2 small-medium sweet potatoes, peeled 3 small-medium beetroots, peeled 3 sticks celery 1 litre vegetable stock Salt and pepper Vegetable oil Parsley for garnish (optional)
Start by peeling the beetroots and then the sweet potatoes. Wear a pair of gloves when peeling the beetroots if you don’t want to get pink hands! Then chop up all the vegetables, including the onion and garlic cloves, into chunks. Don’t worry about making them too exact as they will all get blended at the end.
Start by sauteeing the garlic and onion in vegetable oil until soft. Then add the rest of the vegetables and cook for a few minutes. Add 750ml of the stock, reserving the rest. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until all vegetables are quite soft, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Ladle portions of the vegetables and stock into a blender and blend until smooth. Alternatively, you could use a hand blender if you have one. When all the soup is blended, check the flavour and add salt and pepper to taste. At this point, check the soup’s thickness - if too thick, add the remaining vegetable stock as needed.
Serve and garnish with parsley if desired - although I’m sure the Vulcans would consider this highly illogical.
By popular request ;D Holmes being neurodivergent was something I thought about a lot while writing the game (channelling my own experiences a lot of the time!) and I know that our director discussed it with the actors, too. This is definitely not all the scenes or even the most prominent examples, but they're the ones that felt non-spoilery!
This is from my Sherlock Holmes point and click game The Beekeeper's Picnic which releases March 26th 2025!

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT SONGS FROM THE DBH SOUNDTRACK PLAY IN THE BACKGROUND HERE?? Look, I know it makes sense lmao but I’ve been listening to these songs with vocals and lyrics and all that from the sound track on Spotify and was only mildly wondering how those were even integrated into the game, so when I was kinda watching this video I recognized a certain part of the song in the background over those mall speakers and was like “Wait, is this Seven Moons??” And it IS Seven Moons from the soundtrack🦫🦫
I’m curious how the other songs got integrated into the game now👀👀 Like do they also play in the background at grocery stores or malls or bars or anything like that? Is one of them what Connor finds on Hank’s mp3? What’s the other context, I can’t wait to find out while playing👀🦫
Will forever love their choice of animating the SNW intro for the crossover episode, I got so psyched about it when I first saw it and I’m still so happy about it :]
May I offer you the doodles of Mr. Spock I did from memory in various of my classes today?
I can feel this guy becoming more relatable by the second, not even the more I watch the movies and just the more I think about him🧍
He likely did! The Crimean War was part of the anglo-afghan wars;
I'm just referring to the fact that him and Holmes both live until after the first world war, which *could* mean that he fought in it, but @amypihcs does have a point, he was pretty old at that point and I'm not sure where the British military drew the lines in terms of age for their army tbh
Do you guys ever just remember that Watson had to fight in the First World War?
since I’m sick, could you guys please give me some doodle requests for characters that I should draw being sick?👀
can be any fandom I’m in tbh lol and if you’re not sure whether I’m in the fandom just throw them in there anyway, I’ll see if I get around to them anyway🫡
"Yeahh should be enough for the time being"
What's the time being? And why are we feeding it?
I'm watching The Final Frontier and Kirk just declared that he could use a shower and then he looks over at Spock and Spock just looks back and says "Yes."😭😭
