HII SCRIBS !! never apologise for your sore mouth but i hope you and your pup are feeling much better :') my replies might be a little sporadic from now since it's assignment season and all the days i'm not working, i have classes beginning at 8am so my schedule is not letting me relax at all :')) but unleashing my thoughts and everything in your ask box is relaxing to me so i have to wait an extra couple of days to let my excitement cool down just so i don't overwhelm or bore you with the extra length

FIRST OFF THOUGH,,, YOUR COOKIES LOOK SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE ONE IN THE VIDEO. i'm sooo in love with chocolate chip cookies when they look extra rustic and i know the only way you can achieve that is if you chop up a big block of chocolate and the flaky bits melt and dot the dough into a masterpiece. you're tempting me to try it with walnuts as well, it should be fine for me to eat given it'll be heated or 'cooked' in a way but i still have a whole bag of walnuts from the carrot cupcakes so i'll have to put that to good use because i know none of my family members will use it :')) as for the blueberry muffins i'm almost very certainly sure frozen blueberries will make the perfect substitute. blueberries aren't in season everywhere and it isn't in everyone's budget everywhere either. i think just as long as it's able to do its job in being a sweet burst of berry goodness, frozen or fresh blueberries will suffice.

i'm so glad your stew was delicious and i can just imagine that it tastes better over the next day. it's only normal for food made with so much love to taste better the next day after the flavours strengthen and all. potatoes really are a godsend please that episode would have been hilarious. but they do have a point, bland potatoes in itself would be the worst thing to eat but i completely agree that mashed potatoes are so good. my mum's recipe is the blueprint of my love for a good mash. and the recipe is so simple so if you'd like to try it one day. after boiling your potatoes, mash it with milk, butter, salt and pepper and her secret ingredient is mayonnaise. it definitely makes it much creamier but also adds a certain flavour that makes me fall in love every single time.

poor pup 😭 i hope he's able to stay warm in the upcoming colder weather with those clothes and nice, loving cuddles from you. it's only what the both of you deserve of course.

but yess i amm !!! an october libra. and it falls in spring in my country and given that i'm named after a flower, i love telling people i'm allergic to myself. truly the best self-depreciating joke out there.

duolingo is very good i have to admit, but i also used another language learning app that was very good. i can't remember the name off the top of my head but it was one of the top apps that came up so its popularity made sense. if i remember the app, i'll recommend it to you in case you ever want to pick up russian again ! and yes i only learned how to say hello in cantonese before the app i used crash so i was forced to delete it :') i'm currently learning korean in uni so maybe i'll pick up learning canto when i'm done with korean.

ahhh that's so sweet of you to say !! i'm not sure if he'll actually get it on my birthday given my mum told me to hand in a day off on my birthday but i'll still try. also i was finally able to ask what he thought of the carrot cupcakes and for some reason he thought it was lemon. really not the brightest out there but he really enjoyed it so i offered to make more if he'd ever like to have it again. aside from that he also told me he doesn't bake and he would never and i had to tell him it wasn't hard,, i can just give him the recipe because it's so easy to follow but he just doesn't have any faith in himself :') so sad maybe next time i should offer to teach him how to bake. (joking, of course)

Nonnie! Welcome back to school though ngl that 8am daily start sounds like a total ordeal! Plus work, too! In your busy schedule, i hope you're still able to find time to let loose, have fun, and just be you. My askbox is most excited to hear about all the things that make you happy 🥰

rustic choc chips give SO MUCH back bec even though you can never guess where/how they'll sit in the dough, you can always rely on them for the goopiest, most impressive melt 🤤 i'm glad you like the look of mine! i stuck them in the refrigerator for a bit before forming them into the biggest balls reason (and baking sheet space) would let me 😂 since they sat out in room temp for some time before baking, i thought they'd deflate more, but they baked into some pretty tall good boys with the most delicate crunchy exterior and melty-est chocolate interior. definitely that fall-apart-from-its-own-weight kinda cookie!

if you wanna give it a try with walnuts and cooking the walnuts help prevent your allergies, maybe try roasting them again after chopping them up? i'm totally just guessing here. haha please don't hurt yourself for the love of kitchen adventures 😅

with your blessing, i will charge ahead with frozen blueberries! please keep your fingers crossed that they turn out as great as yours!

lordy, forgive me for what i have done to the leftover stew 😂 i am almost embarrassed to admit my raccoon tendencies but i dumped them into some low-effort pasta i was making myself for a midnight snack 😂 i was looking for protein i didn't have to thaw and season from scratch and the leftover stew was at perfect eye level...👀 ((it turned out to be good pasta. and i squashed the potatoes into the sauce so it got thicker. not bad for disaster lazy food, honestly 😂)) thank you for sharing your mum's mashed potato! i've been thinking about making some for several weeks now but never got around to it! seems the universe wanted me to wait for your tip! 😉 i've previously made mine with all the same stuff your mom uses except for the mayo. now i'm super excited to see how much better it'll be with the secret ingredient! 😍

a cold pup is the perfect excuse to buy more puppy clothes 😆 i'll give him an extra cuddle from you! ❤️❤️❤️

OCTOBER LIBRA!!!!! no wonder you're one of my fave nonnies! you're right in the same boat as some of my best friends! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 i am SO SORRY about your allergies. that is the last thing anyone should have to deal with on their birthday/month/season. bleargh. i find your self-deprecating joke very cute. bonus points if you're named after a notorious pollinator 😆

is the language app babel? i just saw it advertised so it came up on the top of my head hahaha It's so cool though that you're learning korean! good on you! i know many a friend who wants to learn korean so they can watch k-dramas sans subtitles 😆 are you very fluent now? my hometown sees a lot of korean tourists, some of whom even end up settling long-term! now when i see koreans, i'll think of you, too 💕

ohhhhh mystery man 💔❤️‍🩹😭😂 as they say in jjk, the perfect man is one who's a little bit dumb 🥲 he doesn't bake bec whatever he comes up with won't hold a candle to yours. besides, his won't have been made with all your love ❤️‍🔥 but no, seriously, i hope mystery man opens his eyes and appreciates all your efforts and gives back to you in the sweetest way ❤️❤️❤️ i'm rooting for you (and for a brighter filament in his bulb pls, if only to remember your birthday and get/do something special for you))

advance happy birthday! i hope you get that day off, and that you spend it having an absolute blast! 🥳😘😘😘😘😘
