Portfolio/Multi-Topic Cooking update suggestion.

[Finich]

First off, this is my first big suggestion. It's not gonna be very good. Plus, I'm not a very good cook, but I really felt like posting this. Second, I'm making this because I feel like cooking in this game is vague.
(Also I like food)
Oh, this also isn't just adding more Well Fed Buff Foods.
It will have foods with different effects.

So, without further ado, here is my suggestion for a possible future cooking update.

Spoiler: Cook NPC

A Female Town NPC
Requirements to move in: Must have a cooking pot be obtained once in your world
Possible names:
Alayna
Bianca
Clarisse
Désirée
Edith
Elaine
Jacqueline

Sells:
Cooking Pot (Current item): 50 silver
Sugar: 50 copper
Material

Lemonade liquid enhancer: 25 silver
Material

Orange juice liquid enhancer: 25 silver

Material

All 4 of these can be combined with any potion to add the effects
of their respective smoothies to potions.

Salt: 50 copper
Material

Pepper: 50 copper
Material

Wiener Dog: 25 silver
Material
Tooltip: It better not be made out of what I think it is......

Uses meatballs as ammo
Does 7 damage

10% chance to drop on death.

Spoiler: Cookware

New items:


Blender

Place on top of any household surface
Tooltip: Used for making smoothies and mixing drinks

Microwave

Spoiler: Herbology

Currently only pumpkins exist as fruit's in this game. So, here are some more.

Apples, oranges, lemons, and blue raspberries
All 4 are materials
All 4 can be eaten for 25 HP
Each has a chance to be found on world generated trees (Aside from raspberries) which, when cut, drop the fruit along with a chance for a special acorn for that fruit.
The chance for the acorn depends on tree size.
Place the special acorn, and that tree will grow.
Blue raspberries will come from jungle grass, with a better chance to come from bigger grass.
(Works like worms and stone/dirt piles)
Blue Raspberries will come in quantities of 7-12 each from large grass, and 1-3 from small grass.

Wheat
Can be obtained by cutting up grass with sickle. (Same as hay.)
Material

Spoiler: Drinks

That would be a funny concept. I'll add that!
