Mods are asleep. *Gasp* Seliph Cookie in CRK⁉️⁉️/jk. Anyway, here are some details in progress for the artwork.  

So first, I try to find the ingredients that perfectly match Seliph. Because his color palette is mostly dominant blue, I can only think about blueberry-based food or butterfly pea flowers. This one is limited because it only blue color matches and for drink like tea. So I chose it as a berry fruit cake instead.

The initial draft I made a while ago still looks very off and maybe a bit too detailed. The second sketch is simplified, and the face is adjusted to the bottom for a bit to make him more similar to the CRK style. Coloring the lineart is also a very important part of mimicking the artstyle like you noticed it, right?

Still not sure about the Ovenbreak one, though maybe later I might have to draw more for how his skill activation works. Is it going to be a button mash or dogdge kind of thing? If you have a suggestion or idea, feel free to say it! But for the pet, it is still sticking to the berry theme, but the items inspired by fe4 loot (e.g Paragon ring, and Valkyrie Staff).

Am I'm going to turn these into a series? If my mood back I would like to do other fe characters.

[articskele]

I'm working on this refsheet for my oc Crumpette Sugar-Blossom (I shared her on a doodle-dump once but never actually posted her solo) and I decided to go crazy and draw some ref stuff for her cafe/bakery/eatingplacething too and thought youd think its neat :3

i wanna try to come up with a menu for the place~

:O!!!! OH I LOVE THIS

And I found that doodle dump with Crumpette and she's so cute!!!!!

YOU HAVE THE ENTIRE LAYOUT OF THE PLACE AND DESIGNS FOR DISHES AND EVERYTHING OMG........ I am just grinning rn LKFAJSDGRGH

AND THE VERTICAL KITCHEN IS SO FUNNNNNN :D!!!!!! I can just see her flitting about checking the ovens or pulling out a flat board of wood she can use for rolling out dough or as a cutting board!! And she forgot to push it back in so later she bonks her head on it while trying to fly upwards akjsfsd

OK SO in that doodle dump I noticed Crumpette with this really cute slice of chocolate cake and it immediately made me think of cosmic brownies!! I never actually had those growing up but it fits The Vibes and I thought it was cute ouo

She kinda reminds me of those grandma cookie tins that sometimes get used for holding sewing equipment, or this one soup and sandwich place I went to years ago that gives you a chocolate-dipped strawberry with your meal!

As for food ideas!!!

A roll cake with strawberry and flower designs on it like this!

A jelly donut with strawberry filling, dipped with red (strawberry or chocolate flavored?) frosting and white spots to look like a mushroom!!

A heart shaped breakfast sandwich! And the little wrapper thingy over the bottom half that lets you hold it easier is this lime green and white gingham pattern :D

Macarons!! The doodle dump has a little bunny in the background so I imagine them being that shape lol. Ooh or butterfly shaped!!

Cinnamon rolls!!

Some kinda floral tea (maybe butterfly pea since it can change from blue to pink if you add something acidic like lemon juice?) served with buttery crumpets!!

Maybe the crumpets have her face stamped on them, or you drizzle it with honey and put ground up green pistachios through a stencil so it's in the shape of her wings, or something like that ouo

Not a food but this place definitely serves some drinks with silly straws, or you can ask for one instead of a regular straw :D

Strawberry souffle pancakes!

This strawberry gorgonzola pizza with honey!

I'm picturing this parfait where the different layers are a pastel pink, yellow, green, and blue? Ooh ice cream parfaits-

Maybe there's a drink that makes it look like you're drinking out of a honeysuckle flower, with the part that sticks out of the flower being the straw?

On that note there are definitely sweet fizzy drinks ouo. Ooh, maybe milkshakes?

Or maybe the ones where there's cotton candy over the glass and you pour something on it to make it dissolve and mix in with the rest of the drink! Like this!!

Not to mention all the possibilities for stuff like boba pearls or fruit jelly at the bottom of a drink, whipped cream on top with lucky charms, stuff like that!

Eeeehehehe this is so fun :D

[philologique]

@galauvant happy new year!! may it bring you many ready-to-eat snacks and ingredients for thai home cooking

here's a little shopping list of some things i recommend getting if you go there:

oishi green tea kyoho grape with nata de coco: the first time i saw people drink this mid-romantic scene in a thai bl it was a bit jarring, but that was only because i hadn't tried it before. it's so lovely; i could write sonnets about it.

golden mountain seasoning sauce: you can get it elsewhere but they sell a liter of it for like $5, which is very worth it if you make garlic noodles or any thai stir fries regularly

dragonfly brand black soy sauce: for pad see ew! (the one with the orange cap. if you don't anticipate using it much, honestly you could probably up the soy sauce/add chinese black soy sauce and add a very small amount of molasses?)

ABC brand sweet soy sauce: a common malay and indonesian condiment. this is way too sweet for me but i had a roommate who put it on everything and felt like i should mention that they sell it!

big bags of glutinous rice for way less than you'd pay anywhere else

BAMBOO CONE STEAMER (หวด). THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE IF YOU LIKE STICKY RICE. it's like $6 if you have a pot that it will fit in, and still under $20 if you need to buy a pot to go with it. it is impossible to mess up sticky rice using this method. there is literally zero measuring required and it gives the rice such a nice fragrance. i've been able to make mango sticky rice on a whim every time i've seen a good deal on good mangoes the last couple of years and this is why. here is a video on how to make sticky rice with it! and here is a mango sticky rice recipe i use as a template. for 1 cup uncooked sticky rice i use one 8.5oz carton of aroy d coconut milk to ½ cup sugar and 1 tsp salt, then reserve a scant ½ cup of the dissolved coconut milk mixture for the sauce. (cornstarch works as a thickener if you don't have rice flour!)

frozen khanom thien (ขนมเทียน) there's a similar lao dessert called kanom nap, and a burmese dessert called mok phet thot. it's a steamed glutinous rice dumpling wrapped in banana leaves and filled with a caramelized shredded coconut/palm sugar filling! here are a handful of videos of people making it!

butterfly pea flowers: not cheap but i think still cheaper than i've seen them elsewhere?? relatedly! there is a thai restaurant on the UES that sells chor muang (ช่อม่วง). I think it was Thep on 75th and 2nd?? They're beautiful, interesting, and a pain to make, and I've never seen them on another restaurant menu.

frozen pandan leaves: not sure where else i would get them in nyc, although pretty much any SE asian grocery store will carry them.

makrut lime leaves: sometimes sold frozen, sometimes in a little ziploc bag in the refrigerated section. *girl scout cookie sales voice* they freeze well!

frozen galangal slices

fun lays flavors

nam prik pao (นำ้พริกเผา): if you don't eat shrimp, there's one vegetarian brand that uses dried shiitake mushroom for the savory element (Chua Hah Seng vegetarian chilli paste - นำ้พริกเผาฉั่วฮะเส็ง มังสวิรัติ)

palm sugar: available elsewhere, but usually more expensive

fresh/frozen coconut milk: worth trying at least once! it's also worth getting one or two shelf-stable cartons of coconut milk if you've only had canned before, but their prices aren't great—i usually get the 6- or 12-packs of 8.5 oz cartons of aroy d on amazon

they sell a little frozen tom yum veggie set with lemongrass, galangal, and lime leaves, which is nice if you're only planning to make it once or twice

sundried bananas (กล้วยตาก): they don't always carry these. sometimes they're vacuum packed; sometimes they have them in a little plastic clamshell container

If you're cooking for a vegetarian or someone with a shellfish allergy and looking at savory items, note that there are two words that get translated as "vegetarian," which are used somewhat interchangeably but strictly speaking mean different things—'je' (เจ) and 'mangsawirat' (มังสวิรัติ). เจ/je doesn't include onions, garlic and certain other vegetables. If you see something labeled as vegetarian curry paste, you'll want to check whether they just mean no shrimp paste, or no shrimp paste/garlic/shallots!! Items labeled as มังสวิรัติ/mangsawirat will not contain meat, shellfish, fish, or fish sauce, but can contain allium.

✨ ❝5pm:rain.❞ 🌙 chihiro & vi.

✨ @chiheru​ surprise! ft. ❝the awakening.❞ by abjo.

Tepid, sleepy, drizzly days called for comfort food. Virote had pork cutlets, black beans, and rice at home to use for lunch; he would need more onions, garlic, peppers, and some missing spices to cook the meat. He would also need plantains for the tostones to serve alongside the meal—tomatoes and avocado would do for the plain salad. For dinner, he would serve a soup—caldosa—for which he would use some of the pork he already had there. In addition, he would need squash, cassava root, sweet potato, and chard. It’s everything his Cuban recipe book told him he would require. Drinks were up in the air, but he decided it’d be butterfly tea. Fresh and deep blue, made from indigo flowers. He already had everything he needed for that. But, there were some things missing.

And, that’s where Chihiro’s role came in. Virote declared her the personal shopper, every single time. Chihiro, unsurprisingly, was more adept at plucking ingredients from store shelves. She was better at telling when a squash was ripe, too. More skilled in noting the full, un-glossy skin and if the color indicated just when it would go rotten. With that, Virote gave her $250 and sent her on her way. Didn’t take her long to get back, thankfully. Their frequented market of choice was just about three blocks down. The rain made the sidewalk of Pacific Heights just a little bit more empty than usual.

Virote was popping open a tin of dried butterfly pea flowers when Chihiro placed the bags on the counter. ❝Welcome back. Did the lady at the counter give you free fig cookies like she always does?❞ Something about Chihiro charming the hearts of every grandma she encountered… It was almost like a gift. ❝Anyway, let’s get to work. Can you peel the plantains for me? Only ‘bout five of them is all we need. I know they’re kind of a pain in the ass to peel.❞

A Guide to Flavored Teas: Popular Varieties and How to Enjoy Them

Tea is more than just a beverage; it’s a ritual, a comfort, and a journey of flavors that can transport you to different cultures and experiences. While traditional teas have charm, flavored teas offer a unique twist, adding an exciting dimension to your tea-drinking routine. In this guide, we’ll explore some of the most popular varieties of flavored teas and offer tips on how to enjoy them to the fullest.

Popular Varieties of Flavored Teas

1. Earl Grey

Earl Grey is one of the most beloved flavored teas, known for its distinctive taste and aroma. This black tea is infused with bergamot oil, a citrus fruit that adds a bright, floral note. The balance between the robust black tea and the fragrant bergamot makes Earl Grey a perfect choice for any time of the day.

2. Hibiscus Tea

Hibiscus tea is a vibrant, ruby-red herbal tea made from the dried petals of the hibiscus flower. It has a tart, cranberry-like flavor that is both refreshing and tangy. Rich in antioxidants, hibiscus tea is often enjoyed iced or hot and is known for its potential health benefits, including supporting heart health, managing the high level of “bad” cholesterol, and lowering blood pressure.

3. Jasmine Green Tea

Jasmine green tea is a delicately flavored tea that combines the freshness of green tea with the sweet, floral notes of jasmine flowers. This light and refreshing tea makes it an ideal choice for a calming afternoon break. The floral aroma of jasmine enhances the natural sweetness of the green tea, creating a harmonious blend.

4. Peppermint Tea

Peppermint tea is a herbal tea made from peppermint leaves, offering a cooling and invigorating flavor. This caffeine-free option is often consumed after meals for its digestive benefits. The minty freshness of peppermint tea can also help clear the mind and provide a burst of energy.

5. Blue Pea Tea

Blue Pea Tea, popularly known as Butterfly Pea Flower Tea, is a strikingly beautiful herbal tea made from the flowers of the butterfly pea plant. The tea is known for its deep blue color, which can change to purple with a squeeze of lemon. It has a mild, earthy flavor and is often consumed for its antioxidant properties. The tea is linked to various health benefits that include loss of weight, and sugar level control.

How to Enjoy Flavored Teas

1. Brew at the Right Temperature

Different teas require different water temperatures for brewing to bring out their best flavors. For example, black teas like Earl Grey and Chai should be brewed with boiling water, while green teas like Jasmine Green Tea should be brewed at a lower temperature, around 175–185°F (80–85°C), to prevent bitterness.

2. Experiment with Additions

Flavored teas offer an excellent base for experimentation. Add a slice of lemon to your Earl Grey or a dash of honey to your Jasmine Green Tea. Try adding steamed milk to create a creamy chai latte for Chai tea. Peppermint tea can be enhanced with a hint of honey for a touch of sweetness.

3. Pair with the Right Foods

Pairing flavored teas with complementary foods can elevate your tea-drinking experience. Earl Grey pairs wonderfully with citrus desserts, while Chai tea is perfect with spiced cookies or pastries. Jasmine Green Tea complements light salads or sushi, and Peppermint Tea is excellent after a meal as a digestive aid.

4. Enjoy It Iced

Many flavored teas are refreshing when served iced. Brew your tea double-strength, let it cool, and pour it over ice for a revitalizing drink on a hot day. Fruit-infused teas, in particular, make for delightful iced teas that are both sweet and tangy.

Conclusion

Flavored teas are a delightful way to explore new tastes and enjoy the comforting ritual of tea drinking. Whether you prefer Jasmine Green Tea’s floral notes or Chai’s spicy warmth, there’s a flavored tea for every palate.

So why not expand your tea collection and try something new? Gopaldhara Tea Estate offers a wide range of high-quality flavored teas catering to traditional and adventurous tastes. Explore our selection today and discover your next favorite tea!

Lu prepared some butterfly pea flower tea, pouring it into a beautiful teacup and setting it on a dish. She places a lemon slice on the side of the saucer, as she pulls some cookies out of the oven. She brings the tea to the booth, setting it down in front of her.

"I can tell to you're hungry. Anything you'd like? I can bring it to you." She hums as she sets down a menu. "I have many types of cupcakes, muffins, cakes, cookies, bread...whatever you'd like, I'm sure it's on my menu."

“Hello?”

Seren had yet again gotten lost in the fog and naturally she decided to call out to see where she was or who she was with. She was nervous and she mumbled under her breath.

Her antennae perked as she heard a voice. She set down the oven mittens and walked her way out of her bakery.

"Hello? Is someone there? Do you need help?" She looked around, spotting the shape of the woman. "Hello! Are you alright?" She began to walk closer.
