Just stocked your kitchen with fresh herbs? Nice! But before you dive in, here’s the scoop on how to unleash their full potential without ruining your dish.

First, timing is everything. Throw in sturdy herbs like rosemary or thyme early on for that deep flavor infusion, but save delicate ones like basil and cilantro for the end to keep their vibrancy intact. Pro tip: when chopping, keep it gentle to avoid bruising—nobody wants bitter herbs ruining the vibe.

Storage is key too! Soft herbs prefer a jar of water (just like your fridge’s floral arrangement), while harder herbs do well wrapped in a damp towel. And if you want to go pro, consider making herb oil or compound butter to elevate any dish from “meh” to “wow.”

Cooking with fresh herbs is like that secret final touch that makes a good meal great. So keep those greens thriving and your plates exciting. Stay tuned for some killer DIY herb blend recipes!

How to Store Green Chilies and Other Fresh Ingredients Easily

Keeping vegetables and herbs fresh for longer can be so frustrating. I’ve tried every trick. Still, my green chilies turned soggy. Coriander leaves went slimy. Basil wilted before I could use them. Once, I stored green chilies in a fancy airtight box. When I opened it, they were watery and black! 😩 If you’ve faced this too, don’t worry. Today I’ll show you exactly how to store green chilies. I’ll…

The Current State of Coriander Farming in Kenya

Coriander, also known as dhania in Kenya, is a popular herb cherished for its unique flavor and aroma. It’s a staple ingredient in many Kenyan dishes, featuring prominently in stews and the refreshing kachumbari salad. But coriander’s significance goes beyond the kitchen.

Magical Oil Recipes - Baneful Blends Edition

For anyone looking to brew up a potion with a less-than-friendly bent, here are some recipes I've created that you might find useful.

To prepare them, blend the ingredients in such proportions as feels correct for your purposes (or as supplies allow). Use dried material except where indicated. Place a few spoonfuls in a mason jar with a screwtop lid and fill the jar with a bland oil of your choice. (Vegetable oil of the sort you would buy for cooking works fine.) Screw the lid on tightly and shake well to combine, then leave the jar in a dark dry place for 2-4 weeks to steep.

Once steeped, prepare a clean storage bottle (also with a secure lid) and label with the type of oil and the bottling date. Strain the oil through paper towels or cheesecloth to remove the plant material, then bottle immediately. Store away from sunlight and heat for up to one year. Use for spellwork as you see fit.

(Please note that NONE of these potions are meant to be taken internally by any means. Observe all proper safety measures related to glass, fire, and potentially harmful plants as necessary during preparation.)

I Was Enchanted To Meet You

Summary: Your boyfriend gave you a surprise

Pairing: Quinn Hughes x witch!fem!reader

Warning: Witchcraft, kissing, Quinn being head over heels in love with you, Lightly Proofread, grammar, and punctuation mistakes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You left your and Quinn’s apartment, heading down to your car, looking for your Witch knot ring that your boyfriend got you. You’ve searched all over the apartment, and it wasn’t there. Thankfully, Quinn was at practice, but Quinn would be home at any minute, and you don’t want to hear his whole speech about why you should be more organized; a speech you can recite by heart.

You slid into the drivers seat and began digging through your car, that looked like it was hit by a tornado. 

Relief washed over you when you picked up an old sticky note and saw your ring sitting in the cup holder. You kissed it before sliding it back on your finger.

You were about to get out but something from your rearview mirror caught your attention. It was a small jar with a macremade rope hanger wrapped around the jar and it was hanging from the rearview mirror. You leaned closer examining what was inside the jar.

Black salt

Some Herbs

A few crystals 

And white candle wax sealing the lid close

It was a protection jar. The same type you made for Quinn all those months ago. You knew it wasn’t the one Quinn had, he would send you a picture of it safely tucked in his cubby. You haven’t made one since then.

Then you found a folded piece of paper that was hiding in the storage compartment under the radio. You noticed the word Baby that was written in Quinn’s handwriting on one side of the paper. You opened it.

Dear Baby, 

I made you this protection jar for your car to protect you, because I need you here with me.

Eternally yours,

Gem

He made you a protection jar. He took time out of his busy schedule and made a protection jar for you. You felt butterflies in your stomach. 

The thought of Quinn doing witchy lit something inside you. Was it desire? Lust? Whatever it was, you knew you needed Quinn.

You placed the note back into the storage compartment, jumped out, and locked your car before running back into the apartment, hoping Quinn was back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You burst through the door, where you found Quinn sitting on the couch, looking at you with panic.

He sat up straight “Baby?...Baby, what’s wrong?” He voice laced with concern. You pounced on him, straddling his lap your thighs trapping him in place, your hands tangled themselves into his hair and littered his face with kisses. Once satisfied with the total amount of kiss marks you left of Quinn’s face you tangled your fingers into your boyfriends hair and tugged him to look into your eyes.

You always take time out of the day to appreciate his eyes and how they’re so full of life. One look into his eyes and you can feel whatever is troubling you melt away. 

“Hi”

“Hi. You okay?” Quinn asked, placing his calloused hands on your waist

You nod your head “I found the jar and the note” you mumbled noticing Quinn’s cheeks heating up. You love it when he gets this way, when he does something out purly love and gets awkward because you called it out.

You pecked his cheek. “I mean every word, baby. I need you here with me. Without you, I would go crazy,” Quinn assured. You smiled, placing a kiss on his jaw.

You pulled away giving Quinn a concerning look “You cleansed yourself right, gem?” Your voice wavered, Quinn nodded “Just like you showed me how, baby” Quinn assured, that sentence drove you crazy. You began place gentle kisses to his neck, “I’m guessing you liked it?” Quinn chuckled leaning his head back, giving you more access. 

You pulled away, looking down at Quinn who was whining “Like is an understatement, Gem” You smiled placing a soft kiss on the tip of his nose. Quinn’s tighten his grip on your hips, definitely forming a bruise.

Quinn took a second to collect himself. He lifted his head back up. “I mean it, baby. I thank the universe every day that it brought us together,” Quinn stated, gazing deeply and lovingly into your eyes, “My life is so much better now that you're in it. So, making that protection jar is a way to make sure you stay in my life because I wasn’t joking, baby. I would go crazy without you here. You are my person in this life and every life after that,” Quinn explained with a soft smile. You felt butterflies in your stomach.

You pulled Quinn into a passionate kiss. You really got lucky in the boyfriend lottery.

How to Prep Your Meals Like a Hot Girl (And Actually Stick to It)

by Soleau Club / www.soleauclub.com

Meal prepping sounds like a dream—until it becomes a nightmare of Tupperware, random ingredients, and not being able to tell the difference between your quinoa and your brown rice after a long week. But if you’re here, it’s because you know the secret to looking hot, feeling good, and living your best life is consistency—and that starts with what’s in your fridge. So, let’s break down how to prep your meals like the boss you are (and actually stick to it).

1. Keep It Simple, Babe

One of the biggest mistakes I see is trying to meal prep like you're about to enter a Michelin-star kitchen. Newsflash: You don’t need to be gourmet to eat well. Keeping it simple is key. Think protein, veggies, and grains. It’s easy to mix and match, and you won’t feel overwhelmed by 15 different ingredients.

Protein: Chicken, salmon, tofu, ground turkey, eggs—whatever floats your boat.

Veggies: Broccoli, kale, bell peppers, spinach—buy a few of your favorites and get creative.

Grains: Quinoa, rice, or sweet potatoes—these are your base.

If you stick to a few basic ingredients that you love, you’ll be able to rotate meals easily and always have something tasty (and hot girl-approved) waiting for you.

2. Invest in Quality Storage (Trust Me, It's Worth It)

Hot girls know the value of a good container—it's not just about looks, it’s about keeping your food fresh and your life organized. Invest in airtight, stackable containers that you can grab easily when you’re rushing out the door. Bonus points if they’re clear, so you can see what’s inside (no one has time for mystery meals).

Pro tip: Get a set of glass containers. They’re durable, microwave-safe, and won’t stain with your marinara sauce. Plus, they look way more Instagrammable than plastic containers.

3. Plan Your Week, Then Prep for It

To keep the meal prep vibe smooth and easy, plan your week first. Are you going to be extra busy one day? Maybe prep a bigger portion of your favorite salad or stir-fry. Are you going out on the weekend? Plan your meals around that so you’re not scrambling to cook the night before.

A simple plan for the week can be as easy as:

Monday/Wednesday/Friday: Salad bowls with grilled chicken, avocado, and quinoa

Tuesday/Thursday: Stir fry with tofu, veggies, and brown rice

Snack: Pre-portioned hummus cups, protein bars, or fruit

Planning ahead means you won’t have to think about what to eat at the end of a long day—and we all know, decision fatigue is real.

4. Make It Fun with Flavor & Spices

Nothing gets boring faster than bland meals. Hot girls don’t do bland, and neither should you. Spice things up with a range of herbs, spices, and sauces that can turn your meal into a masterpiece.

Herbs: Fresh cilantro, parsley, thyme, basil. They’re easy to add and totally elevate a meal.

Spices: Cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, chili flakes. A little spice goes a long way.

Sauces: Make a batch of your favorite sauce—think tahini dressing, spicy mayo, or balsamic glaze—and drizzle it over your meals for an instant flavor upgrade.

By mixing up your spices and condiments, you’ll make each meal feel new and exciting, even if it’s the 4th time eating it in a week.

5. Prep for Busy Days (And Don’t Forget Snacks)

The key to sticking to your meal prep routine is being prepared for those days when you’re too tired or busy to cook. That’s where snacks come in, and trust me, having your go-to snack stash will save your life.

Healthy snacks: Think pre-portioned bags of almonds, protein bars, yogurt, or even pre-chopped veggies with hummus.

Meal components: Have cooked protein and grains ready to go so that on crazy days, all you need to do is assemble. Mix-and-match bowls are your friend here.

Hot girls never let themselves get hangry. Prep for your busy days, and you’ll never fall victim to fast food again.

6. Get Comfortable with Batch Cooking

Batch cooking doesn’t mean cooking for hours on end. Instead, cook a big batch of something versatile (like grilled chicken or roasted sweet potatoes) that you can use in different meals throughout the week.

Roast veggies: Roasting a big batch of veggies (sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, zucchini) means you’ve got a flavorful side dish or base for bowls that’s ready to go.

Grill protein: Grill or bake a large portion of protein and store it in your fridge for easy additions to salads, bowls, or wraps.

Batch cooking means you’re saving time and energy, which makes sticking to your meal prep routine way easier. And trust, once you get into the groove of it, you’ll feel like a wellness queen.

7. Make It a Ritual, Not a Chore

If meal prepping feels like a chore, you won’t stick with it. Hot girls don’t do things they hate. Instead, turn meal prep into a relaxing, fun ritual.

Put on a podcast or your favorite playlist: Set the mood while chopping veggies and grilling chicken. You’re not just cooking, you’re curating your wellness.

Get creative: Experiment with new recipes, sauces, and combinations that make your meals feel more like a treat than a task.

Meal prep doesn’t have to be boring—it’s your chance to take control of your week and fuel your body like the goddess you are.

8. Don’t Beat Yourself Up

Sometimes, life happens. Maybe you forgot to prep one week, or you get too busy and skip a meal. That’s okay. The key to sticking with it is not letting one missed meal prep session throw you off completely. Take it as a learning moment, reset, and come back stronger the next week.

Perfection isn’t the goal—consistency is. So, be kind to yourself and just keep showing up for your wellness.

So...

Meal prep doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With a little planning, some quality containers, and a pinch of spice, you’ll have your meals ready to fuel you through your busy days. The secret is to keep it simple, make it enjoyable, and never stress over a little imperfection.

Can I hear more about Forsaken licorice au?? I been loving the Writing that you done for it! Would love to hear more! Thank you’

Sure! If you wanna know anything more specific, then please ask bc I just tossed on some random details that'll come up eventually.

-Licorice usually hides his appearance with an illusion to hide his more abnormal traits unless he's sure he's alone/with ppl he trusts. As an extra precaution, he also wears a scarf to hide his face and keeps his hood pulled over his eyes.

-There are four types of tribe members, Initiates (outsiders who marry into the tribe and perform a ritual to earn the Sea's protection), Common (the average person, not any different from other cookies besides having the Sea's favor), Sea Blessed (members specifically chosen by the sea. Often taking leadership roles as ambassadors, elders, or priests/priestesses. Considered uncommon.), and Sea Born (quite literally born from the Sea. Very rare, and an existence the tribe keeps secret as many already fear the normal members).

- The entire Licorice Tribe has 5 notable physical differences that set them apart. Black claws, sharp fangs, dimly glowing eyes, thin bodies, and pointed ears.

-Blue and white are common eye colors, yellow and green are uncommon, other eye colors are only from members with recent, non licorice family members. This is very off-putting as it only makes them look more like beasts of the Sea.

-Though not nearly as tall as the Cacao tribe, the Licorice tribe is still fairly tall. This adds to their scary appearance at first glance, their initial impressions being tall, willowy forms with glowing eyes and sharp claws and fangs among the trees or by the Sea.

-Licorice is small for his tribe. Sea Born are usually smaller though.

-Licorice met Poison Mushroom when he took the risk to go towards the Hollyberry kingdom looking for herbs for medicine. Poison Mushroom just started following him, first at a distance, then right behind when they decided he was 'safe'. (They saw him taking a medicinal mushroom and decided that meant he was a friend)

-At first he tried multiple times to get rid of Poison Mushroom when he first realized they were following him. Scaring them off, running away, even leaving them at a local guard station in a small town as a lost child. He's still not sure how they found their way out of that one and PM just says they don't remember.

-Licorice normally smells like salt and pure licorice extract, like the sea, but he masks it with the smell of herbs and medicines bc it's the only thing bitter enough to hide it.

-Caramel Arrow and Dark Choco's first impression of Licorice is not good bc the first time they see him, he's lurking around the woods near the Milk Village (foraging while waiting for PM). His outfit is very suspicious considering they can't see his face at all, and he's clearly armed.

-Because he thought it was practical, he spent ages teaching PM a basic subspace/storage spell. They immediately filled it with an unknown number of their Shroomies and other types of mushrooms. They usually summon them again from their sleeves.

-Licorice has had to stop PM from feeding their normal Shroomies to the licorice oozlings. They sneak Shroomies to them anyway when Licorice's back is turned.

-Bc I like the idea I used Licorice's scythe to structure a cultural relevance. It's basically a shepherd's crook for licorice oozlings. The sharp tips at the base are for shattering thick ice so Oozlings can get underwater before the sun dries them out. There's a spot near the blade's base that's blunt (where the bones next to the little spiral are on Licorice's) that's for scooping weakened ones into water. The blade itself is a necessity for self defense as the Dark Cacao kingdom is infamous for its harsh and dangerous lands.

-Licorice can breathe under water. However he is aware that's abnormal even for his tribe. This is a Sea Born trait. If you tried to drown him, he'd know he has to fake it. Another Sea Born trait he has to hide is his tail, which he keeps tucked into his pants to hide even in his own home.

-Dark Choco often seeks out Caramel Arrow for opinions on his plans. He probably trusts her most despite her loyalty to his father as she's made active attempts to aid the kingdom in her own time.

-Dark Cacao is aware on some level he's made a terrible mistake by shutting out the Licorice Tribe. However, he's convinced himself, with Affogato's constantly reassuring, that they're fine since they have the favor of the Licorice Sea.

[dream2bu]

Ingredients:

1 lb (450g) beef stew meat, cut into small cubes

2 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 celery stalks, diced

1 cup (200g) pearl barley

2 carrots, diced

6 cups (1.5L) beef broth

1 cup (240ml) water (optional, for a thinner consistency)

1 tsp dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup (150g) chopped mushrooms (optional)

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish

1 can (14.5 oz or 410g) diced tomatoes

1 bay leaf

Directions:

Prepare the Beef:

Warm the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Place the beef cubes in the pot, season with salt and pepper, and sear until browned on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes. Take the browned beef out of the pot and set it aside for later.

Cook the Vegetables:

In the same pot, add the onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and mushrooms (if using). Cook the vegetables for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

Combine Ingredients:

Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the barley, beef broth, water (if using), diced tomatoes, bay leaf, and thyme. Stir well.

Simmer:

Cook the vegetables for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.. Cover and let it simmer for 1-1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and the barley is cooked. Stir occasionally.

Season and Serve:

Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove the bay leaf. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Serving and Storage Tips:

Serving: This soup is best served with crusty bread or a side salad. It’s even more flavorful the next day after the flavors meld together.

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Once the soup reaches a boil, lower the heat to a simmer. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave.

Tips for Success:

Use Quality Beef: Opt for beef stew meat or a cut like chuck roast for tender results.

Brown the Beef: Don’t skip browning the beef, as it adds depth to the soup’s flavor.

Soak the Barley: If you have time, soak the barley for a few hours before cooking to reduce cooking time and ensure even tenderness.

Customize the Vegetables: Add potatoes, parsnips, or green beans for extra heartiness.

Health Benefits:

Rich in Fiber: Barley is a good source of dietary fiber, which supports digestion and helps maintain steady blood sugar levels.

Protein-Packed: Beef provides a significant amount of protein, supporting muscle repair and growth.

Loaded with Vitamins and Minerals: The vegetables contribute vitamins A, C, and K, along with minerals like potassium and iron.

Low-Fat Option: This soup is naturally low in fat, especially if you choose lean cuts of beef.

Nutritional Information (per serving):

Calories: 350

Protein: 25g

Fat: 10g

Carbohydrates: 40g

Fiber: 8g

Sodium: 650mg

Variations and Substitutions:

Vegetarian Version: For a vegetarian option, skip the beef and use vegetable broth instead. Add beans or lentils for protein.

Gluten-Free Option: Substitute the barley with quinoa or rice for a gluten-free alternative.

Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a bit of heat.

Herb Swaps: Try rosemary or oregano in place of thyme for a different flavor profile.

All-Purpose Banishing Spray

This is from my recent (first video, awful quality) Samhain video on Evergreen Sorcery. It will get rid of all gunk in your space including nasty spirits.

Here is the recipe.

Ingredients

- Distilled Water: 3/4 cup

- Witch Hazel (alcohol-based is best for preservation): 1/4 cup (for solubilizing essential oils as well)

- DRIED Herbs: Pine, Cedar, Rue, Rose and their thorns

- Optional: Essential Oils Can be used in the placement of herbs

- (Optional for storage) Preservative: Optiphen Plus or Geogard ECT (follow manufacturer’s instructions; typically 0.5–1% of the total mixture)

Instructions

1. Infuse the Water: Boil the distilled water, then pour it over the dried herbs in a glass jar. Cover and let it steep until the water cools to room temperature. This creates a strong herbal infusion.

2. Strain the herbs out of the infusion using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to avoid any plant particles in your spray. Make sure the liquid is clear.

3. Combine Ingredients: In a (preferably tinted) spray bottle, add the witch hazel and essential oils (optional) to the strained herbal infusion or just essential oils instead of herbs if you do not have herbal components.

4. Add Preservative: Add the preservative according to the manufacturer's recommended percentage for water-based formulas.

5. Mix and Store: Shake well, label (with date), and store in a cool, dark place and keep out of sunlight.

Tips on Preservatives

- Optiphen (op-tiphen) Plus: Ideal for water-based solutions.

- Geogard ECT: An eco-certified preservative that works well in a range of products.

Cautions:

Please be mindful of pets and other living beings, as certain ingredients, like essential oils, can harm them—it may be best to avoid using these near animals. Note that it’s normal for this mixture to become cloudy or separate over time; however, if you notice an off smell, it’s time to discard it. Also, remember that the oils in the mixture may cause stains on surfaces like bedding.

100 Witchcraft Tips in 100 Days!

Day 4 - How to Create a Herbal Grimoire

A Herbal Grimoire is a journal, notebook, or online resource where you note down what you learn. Note down your research on the plant, your experiences using it in spells, the results of the spells. Over time it will grow and be a sort of encyclopedia tailored to your personal practice and knowledge. It should also overtime become a reference guide there to help you remember correspondences, notice patterns in your practice, and track the success of your spells.

How to Start Your Herbal Grimoire

1. Choose Your Format: You want to start by picking where you want to make your grimoire. You could use a notebook, a journal, loose paper, a binder, any note apps, if you're able to write in or on it then it's a format you can use.

2. Sections to Include: You can divide up your grimoire into sections to keep it organized. Here's a few ideas for sections:

Herb Profiles: Set aside a page to write about its correspondences, physical properties, folklore, or personal experiences with it.

Spells and Recipes: Write down any spells or recipes you make using herbs. Write down the ingredients, steps, and outcome of each spell.

Harvesting and Storage Tips: Include guidelines on how to properly harvest, dry, and store each herb.

Personal Reflections: As you work with herbs, reflect on your experiences with them. Ask yourself questions like "How did the spell feel using those specific herb?" or "What herbs do I tend to gravitate towards?"

3. Correspondences: Research each herb's magical properties and write them down. You can include elemental correspondences, planetary rulers, or even deity associations.

4. Add Personal Touches: Always remember this is your book, you can design it however you want. Customize your book however you see fit.

Why a Herbal Grimoire is Important

It Becomes Your Personal Guide: Even though there are many correspondences you can find in books or online, having your own grimoire brings you closer to your practice. You might even learn something new that you haven't seen anywhere else.

It Tracks Your Growth: As you write down your experiences you'll begin to notice how you're practice has evolved over time. You might start noticing patterns and specific herbs you're drawn to.

It Enhances Focus and Intention: Writing down your research and experience also helps you to retain the knowledge you've learned.

It Helps Build a Deeper Connection with Nature: As you learn more about working with herbs the more you learn about nature. This let's you know more about your local environment and how you could potentially help it.

Tips for Keeping a Grimoire

Consistency is Key: Regularly update your grimoire with new information.

Make if Your Own: Don't be scared to stray from the traditional correspondences if others better match your results.

Don't Rush: You're grimoire will slowly grow over time. Don't feel pressured to fill it up quickly. The more thought you put into your grimoire the better it'll be.

///////////////////////

Zecora was working in her herb garden.  She was being extremely careful in the cultivation of one particular section.  All of the plants there could be dangerous in one way or another.  They all had important medicinal uses in some of the potions that Zecora was famous for making.  A large Everfree Ridgeback wolf hidden in the brush was peering at her as she worked.

In the background a fire roared like a small dragon, heating Zecora’s big stone bread baking oven.  When it was hot enough, the zebra would rake out the fire and begin baking her famous herb breads and some pies.

In the voice of a young filly, the wolf requested, “May I help you, Auntie Zecora?  Poison Joke does not bother me at all and none of the rest of those will harm me, like they might harm you.”

Zecora looked up and smiled.  “Caramel my dear // Does your mother know you are here?”

Caramel replied, “Mother knows but had to go to town. // Nurse Fields greeted the news with a frown // But if I came as a wolf, agreed // That seeing you would be safe indeed.”

Zecora smiled again and invited, “Your help is welcome indeed! // This patch is infested with a weed!”

Caramel Treat emerged entirely from the woods and inquired, “Neither form is a phony // Would you rather I was wolf or pony?”

“Neither form is a bother to me. // From before you were born I knew what you would be.”

Cocking an ear, Caramel dropped the rhyming speech that was so natural and comfortable around Zecora.  “There are bad ponies coming. They tried to force Mom and Nurse Fields to show me to them like I was some sort of Freak at a fair.  I ran them off but they did not know it was me.

“If it comes up, say that I am from the Stone Ridge Pack.”

Remaining a wolf, Caramel drew in a big sniff over the dangerous plants and herbs.  She pointed with a paw.

“The Strangle Root’s taproot is right here.  I can pry it out with a trowel.  I will lift it slowly.  That will let you free the tendrils from the plants that you want to save.”

Zecora simply offered the trowel.

Stepping carefully, Caramel went to the heart of the problem weed and dug delicately.  Soon she took the root in her jaws and slowly lifted.  Zecora set to releasing the grip of the weed’s many tendrils from her garden’s plants.

They had just finished the task when the big brown Earth Pony, Sawnax and two of his timber yard cronies came stomping up the trail to Zecora’s hut-like house.

Without preamble, Sawnax began, “Listen up, you striped weirdo!  We needs a poison to put out in wolf baits!  We gonna put them out around that there Brightmane’s place!  They got a dangerous wolf there.

“It attack us without no cause!  We barely fight it off and get away with our lives!”

The very observant Zecora chuckled, “The only evidence of a fight // Is claw marks as you took to flight // All the marks show us your fears // Because they are all in your rears!”

Caramel Treat, still as a monster Everfree Ridgeback Wolf, slunk around Zecora into their sight.  Her yellow eyes with a thin ring of blue were slitted in rage, belly close to the earth, black tipped tail stiff and held low.

Forcing her voice down from its usual filly’s tones to a deep growl, she demanded, “How many times must the Stone Ridge Pack run you from the Everfree?”

Zecora, utterly calm, reached out and ruffled the ears of the huge wolf beside her.  “You will get no poison from me // To harm my neighbors of the Everfree.  // This friend is helping in my need // To free my garden of pest and weed.”

Sawnax sneered, “You wasn’t listening!  Them monsters gonna run you out of the forest!”

Zecora smiled, “You, Sawnax, had too many beers! // Indeed I do use my ears. // It is you and you alone, // The coward with no backbone, // That from this forest would be wise to flee. // The Stone Ridge Pack is no danger to me.”

Caramel appeared to relax and start to sit.  As her rear got lower, a slight tension spoke of her intent.  Straightening her nearly folded rear legs, the big wolf lunged!  She spanned the distance between Zecora and Sawnax in a single powerful bound!

A large forepaw slammed to earth just past Sawnax’s forelegs, tripping him as the mass of the hurtling wolf smashed into his shoulder!  Sawnax was down, squalling for his life!  The wolf finished the plunge, landing across his neck, preventing him from rising!

She changed posture some to sit more comfortably on his neck and growled, “This is the last time that you will leave this forest alive!  Do you understand?  Leave.  Never return.  The Stone Ridge Pack is tired of your misbehavior.  We will be watching.”

The other two were backing away, wide eyed with fear.  Rage filled yellow eyes with a thin blue ring in them moved from the fallen Sawnax to the frightened ponies.  They broke and ran back towards Ponyville!

Squalling, “Wait up!  Don’t leave me!” Sawnax fled after them!

The change flowed like a big ripple down Caramel from nose to tail as the wolf shifted back to a caramel tan filly.  Caramel Treat continued to giggle for a little.  Finally, she managed to get out, “Are we done with the weeding?”

Zecora patted her tolerantly.  “Indeed the worst of pests is gone. // Sawnax no longer befouls my lawn! // Inside my home is bread and pie to make. // Let us teach you to bake!”

Soon the clearing was filled with the wonderful aroma of fresh bread baking in Zecora’s big stone oven.

Caramel, her blue eyes with a narrow ring of yellow sparkling, enthused, “Thank you, Auntie Zecora!  Cooking like this is so much fun!”

Zecora, spreading soft butter on another slice of fresh hot bread, smiled, “Talented at cooking you are true // And it is a pleasure to teach you!”

When the hot breads cooled enough to handle easily, Caramel and Zecora loaded up a saddle bag with loaves.  She trotted serenely along the trail back to Brightmane’s cottage, two big Everfree Ridgeback wolves ambling along beside her.

For years, the idea of food independence has conjured images of sprawling gardens, backyard chickens, and rows of home-canned goods. But let’s be real: not everyone has an acre of land—or even a backyard. Does that mean food independence is out of reach? Not by a long shot. In 2025, it’s time to rethink what food self-reliance looks like. Whether you’re in an apartment, a condo, or just don’t have the time or space for traditional homesteading, you can still build a pantry that’s resilient against supply chain hiccups, inflation, and shortages. Step 1: Maximize Shelf-Stable Staples You don’t need a garden to stock up on dry goods. Focus on building a pantry of essentials with long shelf lives. Stock Up On: - Rice, beans, and lentils - Oats, pasta, and flour - Shelf-stable milk and powdered eggs - Salt, sugar, and cooking oils Step 2: Canned Goods Are Your Friend Canning isn’t just for homesteaders. Commercially canned goods offer a long shelf life, convenience, and variety. Buy Smart: - Focus on vegetables, proteins (tuna, chicken), soups, and fruits - Check for sales and bulk-buy deals - Rotate stock and use older cans first Pro Tip: Don’t forget about canned butter, ghee, and shelf-stable cheese options. FIFO Countertop Mini Can Tracker Holds 30 Standard 10-24 Oz Can Sizes, White| Stackable & Adjustable Can Organizer for Pantry, USA Made, White - Mini Can Tracker: Keeps your kitchen organized by storing and rotating your canned goods on a First In First Out model saving you from expired food cost and waste - Can Organizer Easy Install: Ensures effortless installation saving you time and energy; Carefully sized dowels fit smoothly into the panels, giving your fridge or pantry a fresh new look; Made in the USA - Customizable Can Rack: Includes the following easy-fit dowels; 3 - A dowels (fits family soup cans), 6 - B dowels (fits chunky soup and fruit cans), 6 - C dowels (fits standard vegetable/soup cans) - Canned Food Organizer Capacity: Make room for up to 30 cans, preserving sodas, soups, and veggies in great harmony; Measures 16 inches long, 16 inches wide, 12 inches tall, and weighs 5 pounds - Expandable Food Storage: Expand your organized empire in your refrigerator, pantry, cupboards, and cabinets by adding panels, dowels, or even units for limitless growth $44.19 Buy on Amazon Step 3: Think Vertical—Indoor Gardening No backyard? No problem. Grow small-scale crops indoors with minimal space. Try These: - Herbs (basil, parsley, cilantro) on windowsills - Microgreens using shallow trays - Hydroponic kits for lettuce and greens Step 4: Store Water, Not Just Food Water is just as critical as food, and most urban preppers underestimate how much they’ll need. Store: - At least one gallon per person per day (for drinking and minimal hygiene) - Water filters and purification tablets as backup - Collapsible storage containers to maximize space Big Berkey Gravity-Fed Stainless Steel Countertop Water Filter System 2.25 Gallon with 2 Authentic Black Berkey Elements BB9-2 Filters - ENJOY GREAT-TASTING TAP WATER EVERY DAY AT HOME- The 2.25-gallon Big Berkey System can be used on a countertop in your kitchen or office to transform tap water into delicious drinking water that's also ideal for making your favorite beverages or cooking. - INDEPENDENT TESTING- Black Berkey Elements (the original BB9-2) are composed of a unique, proprietary blend of multiple media types backed by testing from accredited, third-party labs. Black Berkey Elements remove or dramatically reduce over 250+ typical contaminants that could be present in freshwater sources—no electricity, tools, or plumbing are required. - INCLUDES AUTHENTIC BLACK BERKEY ELEMENTS (THE ORIGINAL BB9-2)- Don't fall for lookalike filters that use our Berkey BB9-2 model number or trademarks in their titles or product descriptions to legitimize their brand as replacements or "compatible", when they are not. Black Berkey Elements are designed to work synergistically and target specific contaminants that far exceed the reduction capabilities of black filters solely composed of activated carbon. - ECONOMICAL, LONG-LASTING- Black Berkey Elements provide filtered water for just pennies per gallon. Each pair of Black Berkey Elements lasts for up to 6,000 gallons before replacement is recommended. Elements may require replacement sooner based upon the quality of influent water. Each additional pair of Black Berkey Elements (sold separately) adds an additional 6,000 gallons of contaminant reduction. - THE GOLD STANDARD IN GRAVITY-FED WATER FILTRATION- Authentic Black Berkey Elements are capable of greater contaminant reduction and a longer lifespan than virtually any of the other filter elements on the market. Berkey systems are simple and easy to use and require no electricity, costly installation, or tools, providing economical, long-lasting water filtration for just pennies a gallon. $367.00 Buy on Amazon Step 5: Get Creative with Storage When space is tight, you have to think vertically and creatively. Ideas: - Under-bed bins for bulk goods - Overhead shelving in closets or garages - Stackable containers that maximize footprint Step 6: Plan for Rotation and Replenishment A pantry is only as good as its maintenance. Maintain It: - Label items with purchase and expiration dates - Create a simple inventory spreadsheet - Set reminders to rotate stock every few months Final Thoughts: You Don’t Need Land to Be Ready Food independence isn’t just for the rural prepper. It’s about mindset, strategy, and a commitment to self-reliance—no matter where you live. By focusing on shelf-stable essentials, clever storage, and a few innovative growing techniques, you can build a pantry that stands strong against whatever comes next. Related Reads: - The Sensible Prepper – Practical Advice for Tough Times - Survival Gear List – The Essentials You Shouldn’t Leave Without Finally, remember that food independence is an ongoing journey. Stay informed about food preservation techniques, explore new recipes using your stored items, and continuously adapt your strategies as your needs evolve. This proactive approach will help ensure that you remain prepared for any eventuality, no matter where you live. Moreover, engage with your community to share ideas, resources, and even trade goods. Building relationships with local farmers or joining community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs can enhance your food independence and introduce you to fresh, local options that may not be available in stores. Regular maintenance of your pantry is essential for ensuring that your food supply remains fresh and ready for use. Consider setting up a reminder system on your smartphone or calendar to help you keep track of your inventory and remind you when it's time to check on your supplies. When considering creative storage solutions, think beyond the conventional. Utilize space in your home creatively by incorporating multi-functional furniture that doubles as storage, such as ottomans or coffee tables with hidden compartments. Every bit of space counts when preparing for potential shortages or emergencies. Another critical aspect of water storage is the need for emergency preparedness. Storing water isn’t just about filling up containers; it’s also about ensuring you have access to clean, drinkable water during emergencies. Invest in high-quality water filtration systems and purification tablets to ensure your stored water remains safe for consumption over time. As you think vertically for indoor gardening, consider the benefits of LED grow lights. These lights can mimic sunlight, enabling you to grow plants indoors even when natural light is scarce. This technology allows for greater control over your indoor gardening environment and can significantly expand your growing options. In addition to canned goods, consider freeze-dried options. These products not only have an impressive shelf life but also retain more nutrients and flavor compared to traditional canned foods. They can be rehydrated and used in many recipes, making them a versatile addition to your pantry. When thinking about shelf-stable staples, it's beneficial to explore legumes beyond just basic beans and lentils. Incorporate a variety of dried beans—such as black beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas—not only for their nutritional value but also for their versatility in a variety of dishes. Each type of legume can bring unique flavors and textures to your meals, enhancing your culinary repertoire. Consider urban gardening techniques that allow you to grow food in small spaces, such as vertical gardening or hydroponic systems. These innovations can transform a small apartment balcony into a lush, productive garden, yielding fresh vegetables and herbs all year round. In today's fast-paced world, the notion of achieving food independence takes on new dimensions. It's not just about self-sustaining your food source; it's about creating resilience in the face of global uncertainties. With the increasing volatility of food prices and supply chains, understanding how to prepare for the worst while still enjoying the best of what our urban environments have to offer is crucial.

#Mailroom Open! If you still have open slots/want to do this <3

I'd like this letter to go to Tighnari, please and thank you! Subtle yandere and SFW. Thank you again!

The contents of the letter are as follows:

"Tighnari!

Things have been absolutely marvelous in Mondstadt. Your idea to visit my family was genius. It's been a long time since I've been back home. My mother asked why you didn't accompany me, isn't that cute? She called you her future son in law.. Then asked when we'd be giving her grandbabies.

I have been missing you to pieces though, my love. You would love a few of my friends over here, they're interested to learn more about you! Well.. aside from one. He seemed a bit upset when I gushed about you. But never mind that! How are things back home with you? How is Collei? Please let her know that Amber sends her regards. But most importantly! How are you?

I also hope that the package I sent gets to you safely. I thought you'd really appreciate my finds.

Love you so much!

-♡"

The package itself is smaller in size, yet still larger than the envelope sent. Inside the box are new glass storage jars, made for storing herbs and spices. Aside from the jars, there's a hand woven bracelet. It matches with Tighnari's typical attire, and is woven in order to prevent fraying or breakage. There's another, tiny sticky note at the bottom of the box with a doodle of Tighnari and his partner. They're stick figures and holding hands.

꩜ Letter Content: GN! Reader x Slight Yan! Tighnari, SFW, no gendered terms for reader, possessiveness from Tighnari, lmk if I missed out anything ! ꩜ Delivery Notes: Tighnari was absolutely covered in pollen when I picked up his package in Sumeru, HAHA! However, judging from his droopy ears and tail, I think he really misses you :( ꩜ Wanna write a love letter yourself? Check out it out here!

Sent back to you is a small, lovingly handmade, woven basket that you recognise to be the handiwork of Tighnari. Weaved between the strips of dried Kalpalata lotus vines are cute tiny flowers native to the forested area around Gandharva Ville. There’s a ribbon tied around the handle in your favourite colour that’s lightly scented with the perfume of Sumeru roses.

A dark green fabric that matches his fur colour sits nicely atop the contents of the basket, it’s embroidered with the stick figure drawing of you and Tighnari. The Tighnari stick figure is made of thread in a light emerald green that’s the colour of his eyes while your doodle is woven in a gorgeous shade identical to yours. There are extra little hearts floating around the two of you in the embroidered picture too, how cute! 

Removing the embroidered cloth cover from the basket, you first take his letter out. Reaching into the envelope, the first thing you pull out is pressed Nilotpala lotus petals. They retain a delicate faint glimmer of how they shone when they bloomed at night and infuse the parchment in the envelope with their light floral scent. His reply is written in his usual scrawling handwriting you see in his research journals but there's an underlying tenderness present. You think he makes a noticeable effort to ensure that his words are more legible, especially just for you. His response reads:

“My dearest lotus,

It’s about time you wrote back! Just before I got your letter, I was going to mail you a lengthy lecture regarding important safety tips while one is travelling. Really, with your extended silence, I was worried about you for a bit, lotus. It's good to hear you're enjoying your time in Mondstadt with your family though, how’s the flora diversity there? I do hope you bring me back some flower and mushroom samples.

Collei too sends Amber her very enthusiastic regards, she was so excited at the mention of Amber, the way her eyes lit up was precious, I wish you were there to see it, lotus. Now, I’m sure with your keen eye you’ve noticed all the flowers included in the basket. I can’t take all the credit, it was Collei who helped to collect the flowers for the basket. She came back with so many that we spent almost a whole afternoon just picking out the best ones for you. Seriously, you should’ve seen the way she came into the hut with her arms full of flowers, I didn’t even know how she could see in front of her!

Also, new jars! You know me so well, how did you figure out I was running out of them? Gods, thinking about the hassle of procuring them gave me such a headache. You really are my saviour, gods, I miss you so much… Please come back soon, lotus, I’m getting sick of longing for you. Your lovely handmade bracelet has done well in curbing the urge to go over to Mondstadt to sweep you back up in my arms. It’s beautiful and I appreciate all the work you put into such a sweet gift, lotus. I’d never take off the bracelet, ever.

I’d hate to nag but do take care of yourself alright, it worries me to be so far away from you. (this part is written in a small font, but squinting, it reads out) Especially where you can meet with all sorts of people… and that friend of yours you mentioned. Ugh, I feel my headache coming back.

Help me pass my well wishes on to your mother, and tell her that calling me her “future son-in-law” is not too far off from the truth. Write more often to me alright, lotus? Hearing from you helps keep my longing in check. Come back soon!

Ever awaiting your return,

-Tighnari -”

Tucked underneath, is a sealed bag of dried mushrooms, the kind that Tighnari favours the most. It warms your heart to know that he’s willing to part with the stash of his favourite shrooms to make sure you’re eating well in another region. Tacked on are some collated recipes for the ingredient, with little notes scribbled in the margins on how the default recipe can be improved after gathering feedback from many many many rounds of him cooking it for you. Everything is so sappily domestic that you’re sure your mother would coo over how adorable the two of you are when she finds out about his gift.

And finally, there’s a small box at the side, crafted in the form of a lotus using expertly preserved Kalpalata lotus petals. Gingerly opening up the petals reveals an exquisite ring resting in the centre, woven from sturdy plant stems entwined with golden fibres that almost seem to shine. The stems are fortified with a sheer shimmer of dendro (no doubt Tighnari’s) so that it endures, staying evergreen. Included is a tag reading: “A temporary placeholder for an engagement ring, so that no pest steals you from my side while you’re away ♡”

Slipping it on, it fits perfectly, snugly home on your ring finger. You’ve never told him your ring size though, lucky guess?

Magical Oil Recipes - Glamour Edition

For anyone looking to brew up some magic related to glamours, confidence, physical appearance, or eloquence, here are some recipes I’ve created that you might find useful.

To prepare them, blend the ingredients in such proportions as feels correct for your purposes (or as supplies allow). Use dried material except where indicated. Place a few spoonfuls in a mason jar with a screwtop lid and fill the jar with a bland oil of your choice. (Vegetable oil of the sort you would buy for cooking works fine.) Screw the lid on tightly and shake well to combine, then leave the jar in a dark dry place for 2-4 weeks to steep.

Once steeped, prepare a clean storage bottle (also with a secure lid) and label with the type of oil and the bottling date. Strain the oil through paper towels or cheesecloth to remove the plant material, then bottle immediately. Store away from sunlight and heat for up to one year. Use for spellwork as you see fit.

(Please note that NONE of these potions are meant to be taken internally by any means. Observe all proper safety measures related to glass, fire, and potentially harmful plants as necessary during preparation.)
