When writing a fantasy novel, how do you keep from using 'earthly' terms?

I don't think you *can* avoid "earthly terms", even in a fantasy novel. Readers need something they can relate to, however mundane it might be. If you invent your own terminology and dispense with recognised terminology. nobody will know what you're talking about. It's like devising a new language without providing a dictionary for reference.

How long does it take to bake pangasius fillets?

if you mean how long does it take to cook, then 3 mins a side for frying, about 5-6 minutes for simmering in liquid. They are very mildly flavoured (they are river fish) and you may like to think how to impart a little flavour.

Is this meal plan okay and how can I increase my calories without feeling bloated?

Never include Kashi in your diet. Do you know that cereal can cause weight gain? Even special K “diet” cereals. Nah they dont work. Stick with oatmeal and the yougurt and grapes. Oatmeal will help you lsoe weight. Keep a journal of what you eat and before you eat something write it down what you are about to eat and WHY you are eating it. Sometimes you have cravings for food, when really, you are dehydrated and do not have enough water to drink. Wait 7 minutes, drink a glass of water before each meal. That will fill you up and make you eat less of whats on your plate. Never eat in front of the television, reading a book/magazine, computer, etc. Have you ever noticed how you never pay attention to what you eat when you are in front of the television? Food is about enjoying it. You can eat the same amount of food per day but in a fewer amount and more servings. I prefer not to eat after 6pm as you cant eat 4 hours before you go to sleep since eating later on, the cells will convert themselves into fat which will be stored in your body. Good luck.

Is it okay that my 4 month old doesn't nap?

8hours is no where near enough sleep. It's normal for a overtired baby to nap for 30 minutes then wake up. Also when they are over tired they wake with the startled sleep patteren. Try taking him for a walk bump his crib, drive in the car, anything to get him to sleep during the day!!!!!!! Over tired babies can be prone to SIDS as they become so exhausted they don't naturally move their head while they sleep. Contact you HCN for help.

I am tired and cant fall asleep Help!?

I have the same problem. Its 4am here. Not being able to sleep really does suck. I'm sorry to say nothing may work. Prescription pills didn't even work for me. Honestly the only thing that helps is Marijuana but i'm not going to tell you to go try it only to sleep. Maybe if medical marijuana is legal in your state you could look into getting it for insomnia. It really does help.
