I make a slow-cooker turkey chili. Perhaps that's more of a panty-dropper than tuna casserole. Baked Zito isn't a food, it's a Fortress Mistress smoking the pot.

You told me to never, ever serve this to a Mistress! Guess it's more of a Midwest potluck thing.

I'm sitting down right now to dig into a casserole I just made. It's classic tuna noodle, a Midwest comfort food recipe. And I have occasionally daydreamed about serving it, or one of the other dishes I cook, to a Mistress! You salt some water and boil up some egg noodles. Meanwhile, you combine cream of mushroom soup, tuna, diced onions, and a half a cup of milk (for creaminess). You mix everything together in a casserole dish, pepper to taste, and put in an oven at 400 degrees. While it's cooking, you melt some butter and mix in seasoned breadcrumbs. After twenty minutes in the oven, you take the dish out, stir, and spread the buttery breadcrumb mixture on top. Then you spread shredded cheddar cheese, and put it back in the oven for five to ten minutes. This allows the cheese to melt into the breadcrumb topping, giving you a cheesy, zesty topping with tuna casserole beneath! Some folks light to use peas or even pimentos in the casserole, and use potato chips or French's crunchy onions as the topping. This should give you an indication as to how this is "comfort" food, not exactly high-class cuisine. I once described this dish to Mistress Zito. I believe her exact words were, "that sounds disgusting!"

Sorry, I'm not really familiar with any books specific to the topics I mentioned. I think I just picked up on the Japanese tradition of cutting hair from news stories like this one about a pop idol more than from any book. I did read "The Tale of Genji" in translation while on a Eastern culture kick, which talks about the tradition of noble women cutting their hair and becoming nuns later in life, but it's not really explained in detail. The thing about Chinese warriors putting themselves in chains and presenting themselves for execution as a symbol of their absolute atonement I also got from reading a novel in translation during that same Eastern culture kick, this time the novel being "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." But it's a long novel and it's not really about that topic. It does feature a subplot fairly early on where an evil despot cannot be defeated by all the mightiest warlords of the land and their combined strength, but is ultimately undone by a seductress who tempts him to his doom. (She's sometimes portrayed in anime and video games as using a whip...) BTW, for any subbies still reading, you owe it yourself to go and see what Mistress Rey has learned about shibari!!!

Indeed! Could be "worse," I could be meeting both of you in there...

I'm so jelly of you, Rey and Von Dietz! I have so many weird pictures, mostly of signs and T-shirts in "Engrish," from my trip to Japan years ago. It's fun to look at McDonald's menus where nothing you can order bears any resemblance to American McDonald's, although their Burger King seemed to serve a burger with like ten meat patties.

Not sure if I noticed this before but it's very interesting. I've long been fascinated by that aspect of Eastern culture, how humiliation can be honorable in some circumstances. Like the Japanese tradition of cutting off one's hair to show contrition, or the really ancient Chinese tradition of a strong and noble warrior who has failed in battle presenting himself in chains to be executed (which almost always results in their Lord undoing the bonds and praising their honor, but hey, the ritual is still important!) Not a million miles away from a submissive trying to reach a deeper level of humiliation and subservience to prove their devotion to their partner.

I think I may be about to be part of Mistress Rey's first Purple Room session! It's sure to be a painful honor...

I saw a store today called "Creative Watersports."

You didn't have to come out and SAY it...let a subbie daydream, would ya?

Haha, but it's the last choice you ever make... Like I said, A. Just don't ask me what Mistress I choose...

For Choice A, do we get to choose the Mistress? If so, A. No question.

Um...Mistress Ree? That's my best guess.

I guess it depends on how serious the confidence was, but if it was serious...my response would be similar to jpcpat's. I'd probably try to be very respectful to Mistress B and explain how very sorry I was, though. In a scene, that is. I'd be a little less formal outside of a scene. But yeah, I'd have to rethink Mistress B if she kept pushing.

Oh Dannyboy, Ms. Kang, Ms. Kang, is caaaaaalling...

Hmm...don't know any positions by name but anything where the sub can't move, is exposed, and is...otherwise totally comfortable. Seriously, it's weird but I like the idea of your Mistress controlling your pain/pleasure so the is sub not experiencing discomfort when the Mistress isn't actively doing something to him. That being said, I realize for some Dommes the idea of a tied-up sub enduring constant background discomfort for her is a thing.

Agree 100% here. Haha, in fact, a departed Fortress Mistress once told me my own "Kim vs Joe" story was better than Fifty Shades, and when I got really excited, she told me that while it was meant as a compliment I should remember that Fifty Shades sucked. Does make me wonder who will write a femdom novel that cracks the mainstream. Haha, there's a thread on the member's forum where I said I believed one of your favorite things is "a good book." Perhaps I should just have said "a book?" ?

Kind of depends on whether you are literally blindfolded, tied-down in a position where you can't move your head around, intentionally staring at the floor as part of a submissive kneeling posture (I had a Domme get "upset" at me once because I looked up at her without her permission,) etc. Otherwise, I watch my Domme, and to some extent try to predict her actions. But sometimes it seems the fun for her is in catching you off guard (I remember a bastinado session with Mistress Rey where she stopped and gave me time to think we were done before getting in one last shot). I try to watch to see if she is enjoying herself, but trying to predict her actions is probably pointless. I would imagine for a Domme, you are watching to see where your sub's head is, not what he's going to do...it's similar for a sub watching his Domme. Even when I'm not watching, I'm listening. Hearing little sounds of approval or disapproval is very powerful. There are times, particularly during corporal, where it's better to just shut your eyes and focus on maintaining your calm.
