Word count: 4814

A/N: I know how much you all love breakout room and the follow up it's your birthday. I love writing them and it's been a while but do know they are doing well. this is nothing but sweet fluff. I do mention the vaccine and wearing masks which I hope you all are doing. it's important to stay safe and truly wish nothing but the best for you all. I love you xxx

please reblog and let me know your thoughts

_____

“Are you feeling good? I sent over a goodie basket.”

Harry giggled, loving how concerned you were. “I’m doing good, baby.” He sees you tuck your head into your sweater smiling, when he notices it’s the one he sent you in a goodie basket after you got your second shot of the vaccine.

It’s spring break, and Harry can finally say he is officially vaccinated after letting the mandated two weeks pass. It’s perfect timing, honestly, as he has been itching to finally see you in person again.

Your university let you know that they would begin to have vaccine dates open to students through an email that you quickly forwarded to Harry. You had to register to get a date for your first vaccine, and slots were filling up fast. You shot Harry multiple texts telling him what day you got and time, but you went without an answer for an hour which is weird, seeing as Harry never liked to leave you waiting more than five minutes.

By the time he got back to you, he had to wait two weeks, unlike you, who would be getting in only three days. You asked why he didn’t answer, and he said he was in class. You frowned because even then, he always answered. He then confessed he lost his phone in his apartment and didn’t have time to search for it.

You laughed about it, but he was disappointed because he wanted to see you. To give you a hug. To hold your hand.

After spending his birthday together, you both decided against meeting in person for safety even though you both wanted to, more than anything. You postponed your date to the future. Instead, you completed the group assignment through zoom meetings that led to facetime calls. After submitting the project and learning that you aced the assignment, well, you both caved in.

Harry gushed on how he always got B’s on the professor’s assignments, and to celebrate, he sent you a dozen cupcakes from the bakery that you never stop raving about located only three blocks from where you live. Then proceeded to call him over to celebrate and who was he to say no. Harry was shocked at how rich and full of flavor they were because he wasn’t aware it was vegan. Yet, it tasted better than anything he ever had. Harry realized why it was your favorite, promising to take you there in person to have your pick of favorites and not only red velvet and carrot cake because they were safe choices.

You couldn’t say you’ve been on a proper date with Harry, but you’d like to count all the zoom calls and facetime calls as dates not that you let Harry know it would only inflate his ego. You’d start a call to ask a question on assignments, and it would lead to sharing stories back and forth of what their favorite book was to where they would visit if they could go that very second. You loved how insightful he was, also liked how he used pastel highlighters to mark his annotations. Harry was a fan of how you always had a pencil in your hair or behind your ear. How you always had a snack on hand because you didn’t want to listen to professors without something to eat or you’d lose focus.

You were glad you’d be able to get together safely but also taking all the needed precautions. Safety is hot, as Harry liked to say all the time when you sent him photos of you wearing your masks.

“Yeah, like the basket?”

Harry grins, but it’s not as bright due to the lacking pixels of your laptop. He holds it up, having placed it in his lap. “I did love the bath bombs.”

You smile back at him, “Going to change your life. Self-care is important, bub. Even in the smallest ways as a bath.”

Harry nods, “I know, baby. The reason I remember to take deep breaths each morning, no longer eager to reach for my phone.”

“Proud of you.”

“And I of you, baby.”

Harry shines his dimples at you when you turn your head away at the sweet name he started calling you a few weeks ago. You adored it, honestly, but it always left you feeling flustered.

“H, please.”

“Baby, I like seeing you flustered.”

“You’re a menace.”

He shrugs, still giggling.

“How are Mitch and Sarah?”

“Wonderful, sickly in love as always. Spend their time at Sarah’s like composing together.”

“That’s sweet.” You lean in, smiling at him, “you know we should all hang out together. I get to meet Mitch properly and see Sarah again, and you’ll get to meet Amy.” You grow excited at the thought.

“Not before I get to see you.”

“H, we got to coordinate a day that works for all of us. No need to get jealous.”

“Not jealous.”

“Sure,” you reply sarcastically.

“Got to learn to share me with Amy. I cook her lunch and dinner; otherwise, she’d be nothing but a walking cadaver.”

“I want you to make me lunch and dinner,” he pouts.

“I can now that you’ve vaxxed.”

“That I am, so you are.”

“Yes,” you’re waiting for him to go on.

“Will you go on a date with me? Think we waited long enough, and if my feelings weren’t obvious enough, I like you and really want to take you out.” he rambles on.

You interrupt him knowing fully well he could go on for days, “I’d love to, Harry.”

“Yeah, baby?”

“Yes, Harry.”

“Great. Friday then.”

“I’m free.”

“I know, know your schedule by heart.”

“Creep,” you gasp at the news.

“Shush, like you don’t have my classes added to your planner.” Your turn to pout.

“I like knowing your schedule, and they overlap.”

“I do too. Look forward to your messages every day between classes.”

“So Friday? What are you planning?”

“A picnic.”

You jump up in excitement, causing your laptop to fall back on your bed before you dive to save it. Harry yelling dramatically in the background as if you just dropped him.

“H, be quiet. You’re fine.”

“Dropped me, darling.”

“Dork.”

He mutters something in return, but you can’t hear him.

“So I’ll prepare lunch because you’ve told me once or twice that you’re hopeless in the kitchen.” Harry doesn’t even try to fight you because it’s true. “You’ll take care of drinks and desserts.”

“Seems like you’re planning the date,” he teases.

“I like picnics.”

“Well, I like you, so I’ll let you take over.”

Your smile turns soft, reaching your hand out as if you could reach in and caress him. “I like you, too. I can’t wait to give you a hug.”

“Counting down the hours.”

“Alright, you have class in ten, and you always struggle to log in.”

“Making me hang up. Not fair.” Harry frowns, debating skipping class for you.

“Don’t think about it, Styles.”

“Fine. Take care, baby.”

“Bye, H.”

A date.

You have a date with Harry.

Finally, it happened.

_____

You were nervous.

Why were you nervous? It was just Harry.

Harry, who wanted to date you from your first meeting, who emailed you asking you out, and who has not stopped talking to you since February. Constantly reminding you of his feelings for you. You hope he knew you felt the same, in texts and sending him little gifts even as small as writing him a letter.

You got up early today to prepare lunch. You decided on sandwiches, a non-messy meal, and Harry always said he wanted to try the bakery bread you use and not the basic store-bought. It was a bit pricey but not as much anymore because you had become a regular, meaning the sweet owner began giving you a discount, especially when finding out you're a student. Still, you always remember to leave a good tip. The turkey sandwiches were finished with cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. Looked so good that Amy had one as you were making them. You made three and packed them up in your glass reusable containers.

Staring at the sandwiches, it felt like too little food when Harry had told you many times how much he enjoys eating, so you cleaned up and got to make a second meal. You decided on vegetable rice paper rolls. A favorite and easy meal to make that you enjoyed eating. It was packed with lettuce, avocado, cabbage, bell peppers, cucumbers, noodles, and fresh herbs. This was a meal your dad made you all the time as a child with the special slightly spicy peanut sauce that you could drizzle on top.

Harry was going to enjoy this, so you hoped. He promised to make strawberry lemonade. Assured you that it would not be store-bought, and you believed him. During one of your late conversations, he shared how his sister would make him some when she returned from uni. Reminds him of home, he would say.

After packing everything away in the fridge to keep it cool it was time to get ready. You stood in front of your closet for a good five minutes before you began to swipe through the hangers. You knew you wanted to wear a dress; it was warm weather and would only get hotter as the day went on.

You searched your entire closet, there were three options once you had decided on, but you called Amy in to make the final decison for you. She decided on the one sitting in the middle of your bed, which was exactly what you were thinking.

The dress was a white button-front high slit that fit you nicely. You hadn't used it in quite some time, seeing as when you left your apartment, it would be in leggings, sweats, and the first sweater you could slip on.

You couldn't stop looking in the mirror, loving how it flowed around you when you twirled. For accessories, you slipped on a gold ring that had a little heart on it and another that was a gift shaped like a small snake as it was going to scale down your finger. A simple heart locket gifted to you by your grandparents hung right above your cleavage. You decided to leave your hair natural, liking how it air-dried after the shower you had that morning.

There was no makeup on your face, just your favorite rosebud salve lip balm that left your lips soft. Amy insisted you put some on, but you stood firm in your decision, knowing you'd be wearing a mask and didn't want anything smudging.

You looked down at the time on your phone and knew it was time to head down, Harry said twelve, and you didn't want to make him come up to your apartment only to walk down the three levels again. You grabbed the picnic basket that was sitting in the back of yours and Amy's shared doorway closet and made sure to place everything neatly, leaving room for Harry's drink and stashing a bunch of napkins in for any accidents. Basket prepared, you slipped your sunglasses in your hair, placing your lavender tote bag with tiny embroidered daisies on your shoulder that contained sunscreen, your wallet, extra face masks, and a book Harry had told he had wanted to read.

Before opening your door, you put on the white mask that you embroidered sunflowers on. It was one of your favorites, and glad it complimented your look well. You walked down the stairs slowly, not wanting to drop the basket.

You walk out the front door and find Harry getting out of the yellow mask on his face. As you get closer, you can see it's the one you made him. It has bees on it, and embroidered on the left side is 'my honey.' Harry had turned quite pink when he opened the gift he got in the mail over facetime with her. You happily screenshot his reaction, happy to have it to look back on.

As soon as you reach him, it's as if all the nerves you had disappeared. Calm washes over you as he comes to stand in front of you. You can't see the smile he has, but the crinkles by his eyes prove he's just as happy to see you.

"Hi, Harry," you say, your eyes taking him all in.

Harry doesn't hide, he's checking you out, and you're thankful for the mask at the moment, able to hide how bashful you're feeling. "Hello, baby. You look gorgeous. I'm a lucky man."

"Yeah," you swayed side to side, "gave me a reason to dress up."

"Always beautiful, but I'm so glad to see more than just your shoulders." He laughs, and you join him.

"Look pretty, H. I had not seen this cardigan." You reach out, running a finger down over the pastel yellow cardigan that looks to be well-loved. He paired it with a plain white shirt that fits him loosely with Gucci denim trousers that he told you he found a few years ago when he was thrift shopping in London with his mother.

"No, brought it out just for you. Wanted it to match my favorite mask." Although he couldn't see it, you hoped your eyes were doing their job expressing your joy. "Let's put this basket in the trunk. Got a blanket and a few pillows as well as the lemonade."

"And the dessert?"

He chuckles, "and the dessert."

You place everything in the trunk, taking a step back for Harry to close it. He walks you over to your door, opening it for you, you offer a soft thank you, but before you get in, you turn to look at him.

"What is it, baby?"

You stare down at your ribbon-tied wedges before looking up into his piercing green eyes. "Can I have a hug? I just--I'm really happy to see you."

Harry falters for a second before answering, "of course, come here." He's quick to bring you in for a hug, and it feels like home. It's comfortable, and you can't believe you haven't hugged him since February, a good two months ago, when it has honestly felt like a lifetime. "I would have earlier, but when you came out, you truly shocked me with how amazing you looked."

You just hug him tighter, enjoying feeling his strong arms around you. He looks at you smiling. "That was nice." You nod because it was, and if he'd let you, you'd stay in his arms all day.

"Well, shall we go?"

"We shall."

And with that, you were off to your first date with Harry, which would hopefully lead to more.

_____

The drive to the park was short; you unloaded everything from the car once you got there. Harry offers to carry the basket, letting you lead to picking the spot. You walked ahead, glad he brought you to a park you recognized; it's one you liked to walk around during finals week when you were drowning in essays and exams. This was a nice break. On the other side of the park is a lake where you can rent pedal boats, but you were sure they hadn't opened up for business just yet, wanting more of the population to be vaccinated.

You led him to a secluded area laughing when he joked if you were leading him to his murder. Once you reached the clearing, one large tree with lots of shade and a few rose bushes surrounded it.

"It's beautiful here." Harry awed in amazement.

"Yeah, I found it my first year when I was trying to destress; I don't think many people know about it because it's not on the maps."

"Lucky us."

Harry grabs one end of the blanket, helping you spread it on the grass. You set your tote bag on one corner as well as setting down the pillows. As you make your way to sit down, Harry gently grabs your elbow, causing you to turn and look at him; he's holding a bouquet of tulips.

You felt your eyes well up with tears, not used to such a kind gesture; it's been a long time since you've been on a date with someone you really care about, "You got me tulips, H."

You reach forward and cradle them in your arms. "Course I did; I think you deserve all the beautiful things life has to offer."

You set the flowers on top of the basket before straightening up and pulling Harry into a hug. Your arms around his neck, his resting tightly around your waist, "including you," you whisper in his ear, causing him to squeeze you a bit tighter. Harry pulls back, leaving a gentle kiss on your forehead.

"Let's eat, baby. Know you made something delicious for us to enjoy."

Harry set the food out, and you are sure to hand him the wet wipes to clean your hand before you could begin wanting to be clean and not wanting to venture out to find a restroom. He eyed the sandwiches first, then the veggie rice paper rolls.

"Couldn't decide?"

"Wasn't sure what you'd like. So I gave you two options."

"Too sweet angel." Harry leans in to kiss her cheek.

"Think we ought to take off the mask now." You giggle, sad you didn't get to feel his lips on your cheek.

"Yeah, so comfortable it doesn't really bother me wearing them. I am hungry."

You place your mask in your bag, and Harry puts his mask in his pocket. He opens up both containers and digs into the veggie rolls first. He hums after the first bite, chewing happily. "Delicious," he mutters between chews.

"Can add this peanut sauce to give it more flavor, just a tad bit spicy." He watches you as you pick up and spoon drizzle a bit on top, taking a bite. Harry follows your steps taking another bite, and his eyes go wide at the added flavor.

"Shocked, I've lived all my life without this food."

You laugh, "well, now you don't have to."

He chews happily at your response.

_____

Lunch is filled with little conversation, both praising each other for a well-planned meal. The strawberry lemonade complimenting the food perfectly. He brought a raspberry lemon loaf cake for dessert, and you happily admit you ate two pieces. It tasted so heavily, making Harry promise you to buy more in the future for you. He agreed, stating he'd do anything to make you happy.

"It's nice going out with someone, enjoying the sweet fresh air." Harry comments.

You hum in agreement, "I adore my alone time, but with the right company, it can feel just as perfect."

Harry's cheek turns rosy pink quickly, not at all trying to hide from you. You love that he loves to show how much you affect him.

"It feels normal like we've done this hundred of times already.”

You chuckle, nudging his shoulder. "It's cause we have. Just never called any of them dates."

"So you agree, we've been dating since February," he teases.

"Yeah, I think we can say that."

"When was our first zoom call?"

"Hmm...after class a week after your birthday. Think we worked for an hour and talked about nothing for another."

You look over at Harry loving how the sun reflects off his skin; it makes him look like a gift from the Gods. Harry feels your gaze on him, flashing you a big grin, his dimples on display just for you, because of you.

"We will call February eighth our anniversary," he declares.

You laugh, not a silent one but a full-out belly gripping laugh; you can feel the tears welling up in your eyes. Harry sits there confused, not sure where the joke was.

"You alright, baby?" He asks, just a bit concerned.

"That is what you were thinking so hard about; you couldn't figure out a week from your birthday quickly. Took you a good few minutes." You shake your head, trying to catch your breath, tiny giggles still escaping you.

"Oi, no need to be rude."

"Sorry, honey."

"Never claimed to be smart."

"The pretty ones never are," you tease.

"Alright, that's it. I've had enough."

Before you can stop him, he's on top of you, his fingers tickling you from your sides to your thighs. He knows your body getting all your secret spots that make you squirm away from. You almost succeeded in getting one of his hands over your head, but he surprises you by straddling you. You've stopped laughing, but Harry keeps going.

His curls are falling over his head, his eyes shining bright, a new lightness to them. At that moment, you realize how lucky you are, and before you know it, you reach your free hand up and place it on the back of his neck, bringing him down to your lips catching him by surprise.

Harry stays frozen for a second before sinking into the kiss, responding softly, wanting to explore you as he'd been thinking about this moment for months. You love the feel of his lips against yours; you'd happily give up breathing, never wanting to part. Harry tries to pull away, but you chase his mouth, not ready to stop kissing. He smiles against your lips, humming when he places a hand on your cheek, adding more pressure; you're not sure who lets out a moan letting it out into the universe wishing for more, hoping for forever.

You don't get butterflies or fireworks. Instead, you feel the ease of calmness wash over you like when you arrive home after a long day. That's what kissing Harry is like coming home.

You pull back, laying your head on the pillow Harry was wise to bring; you don't try to contain your smile as Harry stares down at you in a look of awe. You run your thumb over his bottom lip-loving how swollen they look thanks to you. His eyes never leave yours; you gasp as he places a kiss on your thumb before taking it in his mouth, sucking it gently; a moan escapes you, surprised at how hot the teasing is getting you.

"You're filthy, honey."

Harry smirks, "just for you, baby."

"Only our first date, H. We aren't going to move fast."

"A makeout isn't too fast for you," he teases.

"Felt just right." You smile, loving the feeling of his weight on top of you as he has not moved from his position, still straddling you.

"I agree."

"Sorry, I didn't ask if I could kiss you. Consent is sexy."

Harry's smile is soft, his eyes flicker to your lips, then back to your eyes, "You hereby have permission to kiss me whenever you please, my love."

"You know all the right things to say to make me puny for you."

"Good to know. Got to keep a mental list."

"What's on there so far?"

Harry smirks, leaning down his mouth right over your mouth; you remember the taste of lemon you felt when you kissed him, and well, you don't try to stop yourself when you attach your lips against his. There's no sweeter feeling, you've decided.

He pulls back, keeping the kiss short, "Know you can't be close to me without giving me a kiss. Know your heart is racing like it might beat out of your chest, and I know you're dying to ask me to be your boyfriend."

"Guess you are smart," you whisper.

He chuckles, nudging his nose against yours, humming as he places a kiss on the top of your nose.

"You know, I was right."

"Yeah, about what, H?" You reach your hand up to run your hand through his curls, brushing them back, giggling as they fall forward again.

"That your laugh sounds better in person. Know it's cheesy but truly music to my ears."

"You nutter!"

"Oi, picking up my slang, are you?"

"Got to, especially when you called that Evan kid a wanker for dismissing my response." You snicker, remembering the moment a few classes ago when you spoke up to give your opinion only for Evan trying to mansplain how women in politics were growing already especially having a female-run as a candidate a few years back. You would have cussed him out, but Harry did it for you. He packed up all your points with his own references. Safe to say, Evan has not spoken up since then.

"Cause he is one. You're the smartest person in the class, and that tosser should not even be in this class. Clearly, hasn't learned one bit since January."

"Settle down, honey. All in the past." You pat his chest a few times, getting his focus back on you. "Got that book you've wanted to read, want to give it a read now?"

"Course, baby. Happy you had it in your collection." He's gotten back into reading now that he seemed to have more time on his hands, and they had been bouncing recommendations off of each other. You had told him to stay off Book Tok because it was the same ten books being promoted by every page. His sister told him to read The Silent Patient, but he couldn't rationalize spending fifteen dollars, and he couldn't find the free pdf. He asked you and told him Amy bought it for you as a gift for feeding her.

"Let me get it out of my bag; you can lay in my lap easier to listen to."

Harry's eyes go wide; you're going to read him. He did not expect that, but he had to make sure. "Going to read to me, darling?"

"If you don't mind." you tuck your hand into your tote bag again, "brought my kindle in case you didn't want to. Won't be sad if you don't want to."

"No, I want you to. Yeah, more than anything. Got the prettiest voice." Harry pecks your lips, pulling back giddy because that's the first time he's kissed you, and well, he has to do it again. Your lips move in sync, the kisses feeling smoother but just as passionate. You break the kiss, playfully push him away, hands-off, letting you adjust yourself before he sets one of the smaller pillows in your lap and lays his head. Your hand is quick to find a place in his hair, thankful you've mastered the one hand reading and page-flipping due to always having a book in your hand growing up.

_____

After reading for a bit, Harry lifts his head from your lap, taking the time to admire you. You kept reading, letting him take you in from this new angle. You stopped brushing his hair instead, allowing yourself to get immersed in the book once again. You giggled, thinking back at Harry's reaction to the opening line of chapter one.

You had just flipped to a new page, ready to start chapter seven, when you saw how fidgety Harry had gotten. He clearly had something on his mind, so you wanted to give him his space; you had only read five words when he spoke, interrupting you.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Harry blurts, shifting to sit in front of you.

You don't smile, but you know he can see the gleam in your eyes at his words, "Hmmm...will you give me a cute nickname?"

Harry doesn't know what you're doing but goes along with it. "Already do, so yes."

"Will you let me make you more masks?"

"Yes."

"Will you knit me a sweater?"

"I'll knit you hundreds."

You nod, "then yes, I'll be your girlfriend."

"Yeah, you want me to be your boyfriend," Harry teases.

"Dork," you shove his shoulder, causing him to fall back. He gasps in shock.

You laugh, and it's music to his ears; his dramatic response is swallowed as he takes you in. Harry isn't sure where he'd be without you. He takes in the happiness displayed on your face and knows if you could look in a mirror, he'd look just as happy if not more. You are a light in his life.

These last few months have changed everything about him. Harry hadn't really understood what it meant when people said that your partner should also be your best friend. He thought it was cheesy and something to give false hope to others, but with you, he knew it was true.

Starting off as friends built a strong foundation for you both to grow together, and he is forever thankful you took a chance on him.

Harry called it fate, but you well, you think it was all thanks to the zoom gods who set you up in a random break out room not once but twice.

thank you for reading :) I adore you xx

📚🍗🏰 [ for aeron && eira ]

Muse’s Childhood Asks | @heartxshaped-bruises | Aeron & Eira

📚 What was their favorite subjects in school/studies?

Aeron - Science. It was always the fun part of the class for him. ...Assuming lunch doesn't count. He didn't really like school in general. He hated all the teachers and they hated him. He was a difficult kid after all.

Eira - Reading. But only the reading bit. The actual school part, comprehension, vocabulary, etc. was boring.

🍗 Were they a picky eater? Is there anything they refused to eat?

Aeron - Picky like he'll only eat Dino shaped chicken nuggets but not, as in he would likely just eat whatever he was given usually because complaining would get him in trouble anyway. Can't say he was ever a fan of leafy greens even when he pretended to be an herbivore dinosaur, especially Spinach. Also watery vegetables like cucumber and celery weren't favorites either. If it's green, the chances of him wanting to eat it was pretty slim.

Eira - She got to be a bit more openly picky with her food. She didn't like carrots, not even with ranch. She didn't like onion or radish, whatever that was “spicy”. Once she ate a pepper thinking it was bell pepper but it was very much not so she lost trust in all pepper looking veggies and refused to eat any.

🏰 What was their favorite childhood story?

Aeron - W.here T.he W.ild T.hings A.re. Kid gets in trouble, has a crazy adventure, and comes home to still be loved? Perfect for a kid that tends to get in trouble. He’s not much for getting read to as much as Eira but it was still his favorite to come back to when he did.

Eira - C.orduroy. A cute little teddy bear looking for a button and a little girl just like her with a satisfying ending. She would ask for it almost every night. She even has a matching bear that her favorite babysitter gifted to her.

Herbs and Their Witchy Names

original graphic by: LorelainW

One of the things you might notice when working with spells is they call for some different ingredients. For example, eye of newt, wool of bat, toe of frog. To some who happen across these spells it can help lend to some of the fear surrounding witches because some of the ingredients may seem a bit bizarre. However, you will often find that seldom will those ingredients be literal. For example, if you see eye of newt in a spell, you are not going go out and get an actual eye from a newt. It actually refers to mustard seed.

The reason we have these names, stems from ancient times when it was not safe to keep spells about. So to protect the craft these names would be used instead. Some of them are just Old English, and some even date back to ancient China. A lot of times, you will find that the name is based on what the herb resembles. You will also find that many witches still use these names to this day. The more you work with magick and spell work the more familiar with these names you will become. I wanted to provide you with a basic list that you can use to work with as you are becoming familiar with working with them. As you find more you can add more to it.

Delicious & Wholesome Rice Recipes to Add to Your Diet

Rice makes for versatile food grain and a kitchen staple in Indian households. Brown rice is gaining popularity in the health & nutrition community. It is not only readily available but a great addition to stews, soups, or served a side dish with a hearty curry. Brown rice has a myriad of health benefits like high levels of fibre, selenium, essential vitamins, and minerals. Choose Daawat quick-cooking brown basmati rice for delicious dishes.

Check out these wholesome and delicious brown rice recipes to cook this season:

Mexican Bean Rice

Cook some organic brown rice. Sauté some onions, garlic, and bay leaf. Stir in some tomatoes, corn kernels, capsicum, red kidney beans, and cannellini beans. Add coriander, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Add the rice and mix well with the other ingredients. Add a lettuce cup in a bowl, top it with the cooked rice. Garnish with avocado slices, cilantro, and lemon juice.

Asian-Style Fried Rice

In a hot wok, sauté some chopped garlic, ginger, carrots, beans, capsicum, broccoli, and peas. Add light soy sauce, star anise, salt, and pepper to taste. Add cooked brown rice and a handful of raisins. Add salt to taste. Keep stirring for another 10 minutes. Finish with chopped spring onion. This recipe can also be prepared with leftover rice.

If you want to check more healthy brown rice recipes, check out the Daawat brown rice website.

Wild Mushroom Risotto

Soak rice for 30 minutes before cooking. Sauté a few garlic cloves, chopped porcini, shitake, button mushrooms in olive oil. Add parmesan, salt, pepper, thyme, lemon zest, and rosemary. Add the brown basmati rice and ladle in some vegetable stock. Add a splash of white wine. Keep adding the stock until the rice is fully cooked. Garnish with a few fresh thyme sprigs.

Vegetarian Sushi Roll

Make a healthier version of sushi by substituting sushi rice with brown rice. Place cooked brown rice on a sushi mat. Add cream cheese, julienned carrot, cucumber, avocado in the middle. Roll the sushi using the mat to fold. Sprinkle some black sesame seeds on top. Cut it into small pieces and serve cold with soy dip, wasabi, and pickled ginger.

Bibimbap

Sauté vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, eggplant with a touch of sesame oil. To make the sauce, mix honey, tahini paste, salt, soy sauce, lemon juice, chili flakes, and pepper. Alternatively, you can use Gochujang sauce. To assemble the bowl, add cooked brown basmati rice, a handful of veggies, crispy baked tofu, edamame beans and drizzle the sauce. Top with a fried egg and fresh spring onions.

Lemongrass Rice

This tangy, sweet, and sour recipe tastes delicious accompanied by coconut chutney. Steam brown rice in water until cooked and set aside. Sauté some peanuts in sesame oil until golden and crunchy. Add a handful of cashew nuts, mustard seeds, chana dal, mustard seeds, asafoetida, and turmeric powder. Smash fresh lemongrass root in a mortar pestle and add the juice in the spices. When the spices turn aromatic, add cooked rice. Add freshly squeezed juice of 2 lemons and some zest.

Prepare these wholesome rice dishes that your family and guests will love.

Magickal Folk Names for Herbs

Having knowledge of herbs and plants (either magically or medicinally) during the Middle Ages, often was reason enough to accuse a woman of being a "witch,” so there is no doubt some of the country folk at the time took these herbal folk names literal. Chances are, these names were used merely as descriptors to help remember them easier. Most plants were given names descriptive of their uses and others were given names for something they generally resembled. Spells written by witches in ancient times were often written with such descriptors, which personally i believe to be a form of secret coding.

Here is a small list of “witchy” herb names (most of these are already floating around the community) that you can use in your craft when you create your spells. This list could be a great addition to any Grimoire and i hope you find them as useful as i do.

Planning Our Summer Garden

I am so excited to report that I am starting my work in the garden this weekend! The snow is gone, for the most part, and I have a few remaining raised beds from last year that I can plant first. We (meaning my husband...) have to build more beds because we moved things around last fall. We (husband) also have agreed to build us (me) a cold frame, a small coop in the garden area, and a FENCE!!!! I am so excited. It's been a few years of discussion and I am told that it will finally all come together this year. The small coop was a new "to-do" list addition because I had the (brilliant) idea of closing the coop girls in the garden area in spring and fall to allow them to clean up the beds. (it also will work to keep them and other wildlife out during the growing season, of course) Without the fencing it's nearly impossible to keep them focused on the garden beds, so fencing and a nesting box area (as well as shade, food and water) is a necessity. And the man with the skills (and tools) agrees. So, with that hurdle gone, the next hurdle was purchasing seeds. Have you attempted this yet? My goodness, I hope so. It's way worse then years past, which I'm not surprised by. Unfortunately I attempted it a bit late but I found just about everything I needed to add to my seeds that I've saved.

I determined what I will plant/not plant (and quantity) based on garden space and what we eat.

I eat raw greens every day, usually 3 times a day. So I purchased a LOT of seeds for greens all season and then in the cold frame. This includes lettuces, salad greens/mesclun mix, spinach, dandelion, arugula, and baby kale.

We've been eating a lot of beets, so I purchased quite a few more beet seeds then we've had in the past. I'll plant them spring and late summer.

Carrots and onions are great fresh but they also store well in the fall/winter, so we'll do 2 plantings of each of them.

We add kale to soup and stews so I'll plant enough to freeze for fall/winter use.

I am the only one who eats mustard, collards and swiss chard. I add these to soups and stews, but also sauté as a side dish, and use collards as a burrito-type wrap. I won't plant too many of these.

We eat and freeze a LOT of bell peppers. We have a local pick-your-own farm that we can get these from as well, but we always try to grow enough for fresh eating and freezing (we freeze 8 gallon sized bags of sliced peppers to get us through winter). We aren't always successful at growing that many so Labor Day weekend we can pick them locally if needed.

I typically plant a little bit of corn because we like to pick it fresh. We typically, however, purchase it from a local farm in a very large quantity. We eat it fresh and freeze enough to get us through winter and spring.

We absolutely love brussels sprouts, however, they take up a large amount of space so I won't be planting them this year. Instead we'll purchase them from the farmer's market.

I always plant too many summer squash/zucchini (usually 8 plants, 4 of each), and will likely do so this year as well. We love it sautéed, baked, grilled, raw in salads and used in baking, so it all works out. I freeze just a little bit, grated, for baking.

We like fresh cucumbers and quick-pickled cucumbers so I usually plant about 10 plants. I don't can or ferment pickles because they are too salty and we don't eat them.

I won't have enough room to plant all of the tomatoes that we would need. We eat them fresh quite frequently and then we plan to can tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes and diced tomatoes as well as freeze oven-roasted tomatoes. I will also try a couple new salsa recipes for canning this year. I will plant enough for fresh-eating and oven-roasting and we will pick, from the same farm we pick peppers at, enough for canning.

I have struggled with potatoes on and off. I'll only plant 6 or 8 this year and we'll purchase the remainder from our farmer's market.

I have only grown sweet potatoes once before. They were easy, but I wasn't eating them as much as I am now, so I've chosen to save garden space for other veggies in the past. This year, however, I will be planting quite a few for Oliver and myself to enjoy.

I have never had good luck with watermelon or cantaloupe. It's a bummer because we eat them a lot. I've decided to just purchase them from the farmer's market, as I inevitably have to do when the plants fail, rather than continue trying them. Some day I'll try them again.

I eat broccoli every single day and Jay enjoys it as well so I will grow a lot of it for fresh eating and for freezing. I'll do 2 large plantings of it.

I also eat a lot of cauliflower and Jay enjoys it from time-to-time. I'll do 2 moderate plantings of this as well and we'll eat some fresh and freeze the remainder.

My fence (I'm told) won't be built until late summer/early fall, so I'm going to fence off one bed to grow cabbage in. It seems that all of the wildlife that passes through our yard loves to feast on my cabbage, so hopefully this will allow us to harvest it before others take bites from each head. I was not successful in getting seeds for red cabbage, so green is the only one I will be planting.

We really like fresh kohlrabi so I'll plant probably 8-12 plants for fresh eating.

I found that freezing jalapeno peppers & poblano peppers worked really well for us this year. I'll plant 5-6 jalapeno plants so we can enjoy some fresh, pickle some for canning, and then freeze both diced jalapenos and stuffed jalapenos. For the poblanos, I'll plan on 5-6 plants so we can grill them and store in the freezer for use in soup, enchiladas, tacos or for stuffing.

I've had great success with tomatillos in the past so I'll plant probably 3-4 plants for fresh tomatillo sauce and salsa this summer.

We are growing mushrooms for the first time this year. We bought shiitake plugs and then a boxed set for button mushrooms. We shall see how that goes. I'm not sure if it will be financially worth it or not. I think if we get comfortable with it and can switch to purchasing sawdust spawn then it would be a cost savings (for the shiitake). Not sure about the button mushrooms though. I'll have to keep looking for better pricing to grow your own. Comparatively, a 24 oz. package of button mushrooms are just over $4.00 at BJ's (when groceries are plentiful) so it will depend on how many this box produces. The claim is "up to" 6 pounds. We eat quite a lot of them so it would be nice if we can make it work.

We love green beans. We eat a lot fresh but we actually don't mind them frozen. I know a lot of people are turned off by their texture, but we still enjoy them so I usually grow a lot of these. I'm going to try two new varieties this year as well.

Sugar snap peas are something we munch on all spring. I am planting tons of these this month because I can use their space for cucumbers once they are done. We freeze any excess (although we don't usually have much excess). I haven't been planting shelling peas and won't be doing so this year. I do love them in salads so maybe next year.

I've planted celery in the past and I have some seeds so I may plant a little bit. I like to dice it and use it in salads and freeze it for soup.

We don't eat a lot of eggplant but we do enjoy a few dishes such as baba ganoush and eggplant parm in the fall so I always plant 3-4 plants and will do so this year.

I've started eating more radish so I'll probably increase my planting this year and do 2 plantings instead of just a spring planting.

We don't enjoy parsnips, turnips, fennel or okra (it's ok in soup but not my favorite) so I won't be planting these. And leeks give Jay migraine's so we haven't had them since we figured that out about 14 years ago.

We eat quite a bit of winter squash and our favorites are blue hubbard and sugar pumpkin. They take up a lot of space so I usually plant only a couple plants of each of those and a couple each of delicata, acorn, and butternut. If I have space I'll do that but with the increase plantings of the other veggies, I may default to the farmer's market and the pick-your-own field.

I adore bok choy both in stir fry and miso soup (Jay will eat it but it isn't his favorite) so I'll plant a few plants of it.

We have horseradish and asparagus already planted. Best decision ever! Our rhubarb is no longer around and I probably won't worry about that this year. I would like to add more blueberry bushes and maybe another fruit tree to round out our fruit. We currently have a grafted pear tree (6 varieties) and an Asian pear tree as well as a couple elderberry bushes. We have a paw paw tree too but I keep forgetting to order another and there aren't any available locally. It needs to cross pollinate. Someday I will remember to do this before they are sold out. We planted thornless blackberry two years ago so hopefully it will produce this year.

I will plant herbs continuously throughout summer in containers on the deck again. It worked really well last year. I usually plant dill, basil, cilantro, oregano, chives, mint, thyme, sage, and parsley. I dry what we don't use fresh for use later in the year.

I'm not planting shelling beans this year but would like to do so next year.

I would like to cut down what produce I buy from the grocery store throughout the winter. I typically purchase mushrooms, greens, broccoli, carrots, onions, tomatoes (for salsa), potatoes, cilantro, and fruit regularly. We always freeze enough corn, peppers (bell/jalapeno/poblano), berries, and green beans to get us to the start of summer. I also keep winter squash in our basement as well as freeze some.

This year I hope to grow enough greens throughout winter in the cold frame, micro greens in the basement, and find a good canned salsa recipe to cut those off of the grocery list. Also I need to freeze enough broccoli & cauliflower (I prefer it fresh, but frozen is fine for winter), carrots, and onions to keep those off of the list as well. This way I would only need mushrooms, potatoes and fruit in addition to pantry staples, meat and dairy.

What about you? What will you be planting this year?

Hey can you answer all 64 questions for me? Thanks 😘

I’d like to thank @unluckymess for indulging me, and my need to lay myself bare on the internet and talk a bunch, you’re the real MVP, an excellent friend. 😚

1. Do you ever doubt the existence of others than you? Mm yes, in a way. I like to have my bases covered so, I believe that I’m not real, and I believe that I am real but in a simulation and I can believe that I’m not real and still in a simulation and I can believe that no one is real and I can believe that only the simulation is real and I can believe that everything is real and I can believe that simulations aren’t real etc. So, sorta.

2. On a scale of 1-5, how afraid of the dark are you? 3. But I’m not afraid of the dark, I love the dark, it’s the people that misuse the dark that I pity and loathe. The dark is comforting, and natural– I love the dark.

3. The person you would never want to meet? Let’s be honest, Mr. Cheeto-Fingers #notmypresident guy is the most distateful man I’ve had the pleasure of never meeting. I’d like to keep it that way.

4. What is your favorite word? Settlement. Someone asked what my favorite word was in oh 8th grade? and my mind scrambled and said settlement and I stand by that brain scramble lol.

5. If you were a type of tree, what would you be? There’s a Celtic thing that says Hazel and there’s an astrology thing that says Pine mm however, I’d want to be a Peach tree v:

6. When you looked in the mirror this morning what was the first thing you thought? Can I brush my teeth later :“)

7. What shirt are you wearing? A pale pink tee that says “Nevermore” in antique lettering and has a Raven opening it’s beak to caw.

8. What do you label yourself as? THE Boring Princess. San THE Bore. I own my dullness, I enjoy my royal duties in the Boring kingdom.

9. Bright room or dark room? D a r k but with a pink antique garden quilt covered in flowers and blackout/ lace curtains and dark wood furniture and glass end tables and ceramic vases in olive and navy filled with dahlias and white silk flowers.

10. What were you doing at midnight last night? Reading. Messaging @barnsburntdownnow @silver9mm (I adore you ma'am)

11. Favorite age you’ve been so far? 16 was a good age, graduating high school and being District Spelling Champion has been the highlight of my life so far ;)

12. Who told you they loved you last? @unluckymess and I love you as well 😇

13. Your worst enemy? Evita Perón said Time, but I don’t want to plagiarize. I have to say, energy then?

14. What is your current desktop picture? My pup, he’s turning seven on December 11th!

15. Do you like someone? Sure I like a lot of people :) but I’m not attracted? to anyone really, since I’m abstinent until marriage and real commitment-phobic so 😅

16. The last song you listened to? The Most Peculiar Day of Your Life by the Hoosiers. (my third favorite band)

17. You can press a button that will make any one person explode. Who would you blow up? myself, probably

18. Who would you really like to just punch in the face? Also myself le mao.

19. If anyone could be your slave for a day, who would it be and what would they have to do? I’d choose Kim Jong Un and I’d have him sign over the dictatorship of North Korea over to me and get those people some gotdamn internet and H-E-Bs.

20. What is your best physical attribute? (showing said attribute is optional) my eyes are pretty expressive, I’ve been told.

21. If you were the opposite sex for one day, what would you look like and what would you do? I’d probably be really scruffy, with curly hair, tortoiseshell glasses, and be real sweet. I’d go to several bookstores, chew on my pen cap, mope about looking artsy, I’d cry a lot, and probably blog about toxic masculinity. I’d try out the whole masturbation as a guy thing and also the whole prostate thing, and then get drunk at a bar.

22. Do you have a secret talent? If yes, what is it? Nope. Everyone knows everything about me at this point le mao.

23. What is one unique thing you’re afraid of? Getting exactly what I want? Is that unique? Mm dying and the headstone people misspelling my name so my gravesite/cremation urn says Sam Hernandez. Ugh.

24. You can only have one kind of sandwich. Every sandwich ingredient known to humankind is at your disposal. !!! My go-to, is whole grain bread, egg white, spinach, mozzarella, parmesan, green bell pepper, tomato, cucumber, mushroom, and ground black pepper.

25. You just found $100! How are you going to spend it? I’m going to give it to my mum, so she can gas up her car ^^

28. You discover a beautiful island upon which you may build your own society. You make the rules. What is the first rule you put into place? Always be humble and kind.

29. What is your favorite expletive? Bless Your Heart

30. Your house is on fire, holy shit! You have just enough time to run in there and grab ONE inanimate object. Don’t worry, your loved ones and pets have already made it out safely. So what’s the one thing you’re going to save from that blazing inferno? The smiley face zipper case I keep my photograph print outs in.

31. You can erase any horrible experience from your past. What will it be? Mmm I feel like saying my birth is a bit too gallows, so I’m going to say, agreeing to marry my ex-fiancé.

32. You got kicked out of the country for being a time-traveling heathen who sleeps with celebrities and has super-powers. But check out this cool shit… you can move to anywhere else in the world! Tibet?

33. The Celestial Gates Of Beyond have opened, much to your surprise because you didn’t think such a thing existed. Death appears. As it turns out, Death is actually a pretty cool entity, and happens to be in a fantastic mood. Death offers to return the friend/family-member/person/etc. of your choice to the living world. Who will you bring back? I’m going to ask for a business card à la Fairy Godmother (Shrek 2), be proactive, because when my mother passes, I can bring her back. I told her that she has to outlive me and I meant that.

Yellow Moong Dal Khichdi a one pot simple meal with split yellow moong beans and rice. Creamy, soft, light on stomach with detoxifying properties!!

Khichdi or Kitchari is considered a comfort meal by many in India due to the comfort and ease of making and it’s digestive properties. Khichdi means ‘all mixed up’ in local language. It is prepared by mixing and soaking lentils with rice then dumping it in the cooker/vessel with cumin, turmeric tempering in Desi ghee. All the ingredients used in making this khichdi have Ayurvedic benefits on the body .

There are many variations in making khichdi. Lentils like Split Pigeon Pea, Split chickpea Lentils are also used in making Khichdi. But, as these lentils are heavy on stomach and also takes a little more time to cook as compared to moong lentils. So Moong lentil Khichdi is the first choice to make when someone is not feeling well or recovering from some illness or have some digestive issue.

Ayurveda strongly recommends fasting for a day and then breaking the fast with this simple Khichdi. It is one of the best and cheapest detox 🙂 !!

I love to have Khichdi with Cilantro chutney and my kids like to have papads with it. A glass of buttermilk with some cucumber slices or any yogurt raita, makes it a whole and filling meal.

Another detoxifying Khichdi from the blog is.. Hari Moong Dal Khichdi, that is equally nutritious and simple to prepare.

How to make Simple Yellow Moong Dal Khichdi..

Simple Yellow Moong Dal Khichdi can be made in just a few minutes. No chopping, frying or sautéing the masala, not time-consuming tasks are involved. It is recommended to soak lentils and rice for at least 15-30 mins as it speeds up the cooking process and makes the grains easily digestible.

I make Khichdi with or without vegetables. Most of the times, I just temper and cook Khichdi in cumin and turmeric with desi ghee and sometime I do add finely chopped carrots and peas to it. But we mostly like it simple topped with a spoonful of Desi Ghee.

Feel free to add vegetables in your Khichdi, but if you want a detoxifying and light meal, just leave the vegetables and keep it simple. Also many people like to temper it with red chill, cumin in ghee while serving. I skip it as we like to have it plain with absolutely no spices.

Simple Khichdi is a satvik no-onion and no-garlic meal and it is also suitable for Vegans. You can use Vegetable oil to make. But studies have shown that Desi ghee can be conveniently consumed by vegans or those who have lactose intolerance. I am not recommending it. You can confirm from the your reliable resources before consuming it.

How to cook Simple Khichdi..

Khichdi is usually cooked in Pressure Cooker to save the time, as lentils and rice take time to cook in open pan. These days we can make it in Instant Pot too. Just dump everything, add some water and set the timings.

Cooking in Open Pan..

In a heavy bottomed open pan, add ghee/oil, add hing and cumin seeds, once the seeds crackle, add turmeric powder and the add soaked rice lentil mix.as water in 4:1 ratio to moong and rice mix.This gives Khichdi of creamy consistency. We love it this way. If you like thicker texture, add less water. Cover the pan with little space for steam to escape and cook khichdi till the grains are done.

Cooking Khichdi in Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker

Cooking Khichdi in open pan takes time.So it is usually made in pressure cooker to save the time. Initial steps remain the same as followed in Open Pan method, only difference is the ratio of water. Add 3 Cups water when cooking in Instant Pot or Stovetop Pressure cooker.

Cook Khichdi in Pressure Cooker for 3-4 whistles on medium flame and in Instant Pot ‘Pressure cook Mode(High)’ take 7-8 minutes ( sans the time it takes to come to pressure).

Please see the recipe card for detailed recipe.

Let’s see how I make this so easy and simple Yellow Moong Dal Khichdi..

Yellow Moong Dal Khichdi

Yellow Moong Dal Khichdi a one pot simple meal with split yellow moong beans and rice. Creamy, soft, light on stomach with detoxifying properties!!

1/2 Cup Yellow Moong Dal/Split Yellow Moong Lentils

1/2 Cup Rice

1 tbsp Desi Ghee/Oil

1 tsp Cumin Seeds/Jeera

1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder

Salt as per taste.

Wash rice and lentils together 2-3 times in water.Soak for 15-30 minutes.

Instant Pot Method

Set the SAUTE MODE of Instant Pot on on high for 5 mins.

Add ghee to it. Once the display shows HOT, add cumin seeds. Once the seeds crackle, add turmeric powder.

Drain water from rice and lentil mix, add add to the inner pot, mix and saute for a minute.

Add water around 3 cups and Cancel the SAUTE Mode.

Cover and seal the lid, and set the PRESSURE COOKER Mode on High for 8 minutes.

Once the timer goes off, let it go on warm mode, if your are planning to have it after some time. Else, release Pressure using QRP after 2-3 minutes. Check for the doneness of grains and have it warm with a spoonful of ghee!!

Pressure Cook Method

In Pressure Cooker, add ghee, keep it on medium flame, add cumin seeds once ghee is hot.

When seeds crackle, add turmeric , rice and lentil mix, saute for a minute then add water(3 cups), cover and cook on medium flame for 3-4 whistles. Let the pressure go naturally.

Serve hot!!

I use Basmati Rice for Cooking. You can use any rice(Broken , Jasmine, Sona Masoori).

Use oil for the vegan friendly version.

Skip Hing or Asafoetida for Gluten-free version.

#gallery-0-4 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-4 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Do make this simple and light meal on days when you want something light and comforting, homemade and without too much standing in Kitchen. It is a very healthy and nutritious meal for babies you start feeding them grain based meals. Good for elderly and sick people or those who have we weak digestive system.
