Crimson Cooking
So you might ask me what does food have to do with Tears of Crimson and I'd have to tell you it's been on my mind all week. Thanks to a great Chef that I had the privilege to add to our Tears of Crimson Staff. You can get to know Dante on twitter. He'll be heading up the Crimson Cooking page on the Tears of Crimson site as well as hosting the blog here that I created. This is really a great honor for all of us here at Tears of Crimson and we hope you'll welcome him with open arms.
Hamburger Soup Bowl Recipe
This little recipe was so easy yet tasty.
Ingredients
3lbs Hamburger Meat
2 Large cans of Veg-All
2 Large Cans Tomatoes (1 Diced 1 Crushed)
Salt/Pepper *optional*
Water
6 Large Bread Rolls
Soup - (which is great on it's own as well)
Brown 3lb's of hamburger in a skillet until complete done then strain. Use a large soup pan and put the hamburger in. Drain your Veg-All and add both cans to the meat. Add your two cans of tomatoes. Add half a can of water to the soup and heat on the stovetop on medium until it comes to a boil.
Bread Bowls
Take your six bread bowls and carve a circle around the inside of the bread bowl where you want to put your soup in later. Leave about an inch of bread at the bottom of the bowl as you pull out the center.
Pour the soup into the center of your bread bowl and that's it. Great tasty meal that presents well. This works really well with other soups as well.

Fulfilled - Michelle Hughes
Walking down the deserted alley she
felt a sense of impending doom overcome her. The voice of reason
came through loud and clear, she needed to find her way back to the
crowd immediately. One of the main things she remembered being told
was to never venture off on your own here. Running a trembling hand
through her long hair nervously, she glance around knowing she was
completely lost. With that knowledge her heart began to race wildly
and she had the overwhelming feeling that eyes were watching her.
Forcing her feet to move she tried to console herself that it was
just the fear of being lost that was causing such a strange
sensation.
From the shadows he watched her with a
smirk finding his handsome face. He could take her at any moment but
the thrill of watching her anticipation build as he played tricks on
her mind was very enjoyable to him. He enjoyed these games with the
weaker race it almost made the hunt tempting. He watched the lovely
woman walk down another side road and smiled at the confusion on her
face. She had walked in a circle for the last half hour and the
blood racing through her veins as the fear consumed her was to much
of a temptation to resist any longer.
Lowering to the ground he lounged
against the brick wall of a decaying building and pulled her
attention to him. He knew there was no other option in her thoughts
about turning to him for help. Even as her mind warned her that a
man in a deserted alley could be much more of a threat than being
lost, she was desperate for assistance. A slow grin moved over his
chiseled features as she moved toward him wearily.
“I w-was wondering if you could help
m-me,” her voice cracked as she stared up into his cold gray eyes.
There was something off about this man but she couldn't put her
finger on what it was exactly. He was dressed with impeccable style,
the clothing he wore definitely seemed to be designer. Maybe that
was it, she thought, he was overdressed for a night in the Quarter.
The way his eyes moved over her body had her thinking about flight
and she looked behind her wondering where exactly she was going to
run to.
“You seem to have lost your way,”
his smiled warmed as he considered the ways he would use her.
She could only stare at the sound of
his voice. The accent was English but not with the normal inflection
she was used to hearing. Something about his voice calmed her and
she felt a strange warmth move through her body that left her
trembling in a different way. “Lost,” she said the word in
confusion not really sure what she had been worried about earlier.
Holding out his hand, he knew exactly
what was going through her mind and it pleased him greatly. How easy
these humans were to control he thought as he felt her hand slide
into his trusting him. How foolish she was to trust a monster,
sighing at the ease in which he had overwhelmed his prey. Walking
down the road the scent of her filling his nostrils he fought for
control until he could have her all to himself without the possible
interruption of other humans. For a brief moment he considered
taking what was his due there in the street knowing that a passerby
would just mean more sustenance for him should they cross his path.
Had he not been craving more than just a feeding this night he would
have succumbed to that urge.
Walking up the stairs to his home he
led her inside without any struggle on her part. The entire building
belonged to him and the only inhabitants were other vampires that
stopped by on their travels, so their time together would not be
disturbed. He kept control over her mind until he led into his
bedroom, knowing it would be much easier to erase her thoughts of
just one room if he chose to let her live after she pleasured him.
As the spell dissolved he watched the horror wash over her beautiful
features.
“Where h-have you brought me,”
glancing around wildly her eyes sought escape. She didn't remember
walking out of that alley and definitely couldn't recall following
him into this room. Panic moved through her body as the overwhelming
hint of danger surrounded her thoughts.
With slow graceful moves of his long
legs he walked toward the huge four-poster bed and removed his jacket
before sitting down. “Where you are is of no concern, how you
leave this room should be utmost in your thoughts.” The words were
spoken quietly but he saw by the widening of her beautiful emerald
eyes that she read the underlying threat beneath his tone.
“W-what do you w-want from me,”
crossing her arms over her chest she knew that whatever he had in
mind was not going to be pleasant judging from the look that found
his face.
“On the contrary my dear, I do
believe you will find everything that happens in this room tonight to
be pleasurable,” a smirk covered his face as her eyes widened even
more. She knew the words she thought had not been spoken aloud and
if she hadn't spoken them he had read her mind.
“W-what are y-you,” she truly
didn't want to know at this point and turned toward the door. As the
door slammed shut and the locks moved in place without him moving to
make it happen her breath caught in pure terror. Turning back to him
she felt a strange sense of unreality and couldn't speak. He
remained as still as a statue on the bed and the fear of his
immobility was just as terrifying as if he had thrown her across the
room.
“I w-want to l-leave,” the panic
that filled every fiber of her being had her lips trembling and her
knees shaking. This just wasn't happening, she told herself even as
she was faced with the reality before her own eyes.
“You are free to leave if you please
me,” his hands rested on either side of his body as he watched the
fear cross her features. He could have simply controlled her mind,
demanding she fulfill his needs but it was so much more enjoyable
watching her confusion.
She stood there for long minutes
considering her options. The window wasn't that far, maybe she could
make it before he had time to reach it. As the curtains closed she
gasped again, knowing he had read her thoughts. “P-please,” she
pleaded softly her eyes lowering knowing she wasn't going to leave
this place without his permission now. Tears slipped down her cheeks
as the realization of just how vulnerable she was at this moment
overwhelmed her.
For a brief moment he took pity on her.
“When you have pleasured me I will allow you to return home,”
how hopeless it must feel to be a human he allowed before his baser
instincts took over again. “Undress”, he demanded not liking
that the human emotion had dared find its way in his form.
His words shocked her and she shook her
head no instinctively. She never allowed anyone to have control, she
spent her entire life fighting to be that woman that was in charge of
her own destiny.
Her hands fell to her sides as if they
were pulled by a force unseen and she stared at him completely
shocked. As the buttons of her silk shirt slowly came undone without
the aid of fingers, she felt a wave of fear that was so strong her
knees gave way. Before she could reach the floor his arms were
lifting her and placing her on the bed. She could only stare up at
him in shock as he stared down upon the exposed flesh only covered by
thin lacy material of her brassiere.
Strangely a wave of pleasure moved
through her entire being as his eyes roamed over her drinking in the
sight. With a unexpected tenderness his hands spread the long length
of her hair over the pillows, seeming to enjoy the portrait he was
creating. His fingers lightly caressed from her jaw down across the
soft skin of her neck and without thought she arched up for more.
Closing her eyes the sensation of his touch filled her mind even
more, almost to the point where her body ached for more than just the
simple touch.
His cool hand slid underneath her neck
and lifted her to a sitting position and her eyes opened quickly. As
she stared up into his beautiful face she noted the long incisors
that had not been their previously. It wasn't possible of course,
her mind screamed, vampires didn't exist in her world. As his cool
lips kissed the line of her jaw she no longer cared, the pleasure was
enrapturing. Arching her neck back she gave his mouth greater
access. Her heart raced for another reason outside of fear now as
his tongue lightly trailed a path down her neck. The whimper that
escaped her lips was as foreign to her as wanting this beautiful
stranger was. At the sharp sting of pain, her body tensed not sure
why the fantasy had suddenly turned so dark and dangerous.
His lips pressed against her neck as he
suckled the deep crimson of her bouquet. Aware of her pain he took
over her mind filling her thoughts with the ways he would pleasure
her body. As the tension left her form he continued to drink her in.
Her body writhed against him begging for a release. His free hand
moved down her body to lift her skirt until his fingers slid under
the silken scrap of lace to touch her velvety softness.
Her passion flooded over his fingers
and another need fueled his desires. Licking the wounds closed he
quickly stood off the bed divesting himself of his clothing. Moving
back to her with a speed that defied normal physics he removed her
skirt and the scrap of lace just as quickly. Laying back on the bed
he pulled her over him giving her mind little time to react to what
she was about to do. “Find your release,” he demanded softly as
her trembling thighs parted and she embedded herself fully on his
large staff.
The overwhelming desire consumed her as
she abandoned herself to the pleasure of their bodies joining.
Tossing her head back in ecstasy she continued to ride him with only
the thought of fulfillment. Closing her eyes she allowed every
sensation of his strong body beneath her to flow over her. Soft
sounds of pleasure escaped her lips as release hovered just beyond
her reach. His hands gripped her softly rounded hips urging her on
and he smiled as he glanced at her perfect body caught in the throes
of passion. As her body came undone she screamed out loudly every
muscle in her body tensing as complete fulfillment consumed her.
Turning her over quickly he drove into her softness with a few long
thrusts until he was spent.
For long moments he remained seated
fully inside of her, enjoying the aftermath of their pleasure. When
he felt his weight to much, he rolled over pulling her with him.
Giving her time to calm her racing heart he stroked her hair with a
tenderness he had not show in a hundred years. Knowing what needed
to be done he cursed his vampire nature. Reaching into her thoughts
he removed all memories of what had been shared in his room tonight.
Dressing her quickly, before he decided to keep her indefinitely, he
reached into her mind and retrieved the address of her home.
He gave one last longing look down at
the beautiful woman so peaceful in the induced sleep and reminded
himself that he had given her a promise. Lifting her form into his
arms he walked outside and quickly took off into the night sky.
Finding her residence with ease he found her bedroom and placed her
on the bed with tenderness. Whispering his thanks for her gift into
her ear he paused only briefly to glance back at her as he stood on
the balcony. He would visit her again some night, he vowed to
himself as he flew off into the moonlight.
