Litha Wildflower Salad🌼
A wonderful way to celebrate Litha or any day in the summer is to add delicious wild edibles to your meals. Today I went on a plant walk to gather wild flowers for a flower crown and I happened upon these wild pea flowers and red clover flowers. I sprinkled them on top of a green goddess salad. They were so delicate and sweet and summery :)
A note of caution when collecting or eating wild foods: eat a plant only if you have a 100% ID. Plants can have lots of lookalikes and there are many poisonous plants. Additionally, when introducing a new food, it’s best to try a small amount of them first, so you can get a sense of whether you can tolerate them. Basically like a patch test when you use new skincare or makeup.
I love you, happy solstice, or happy whenever you’re reading this!

Tumblr media
The magic of Cookery!!!
Tumblr media
Simply Cook lentil curry. I used sweet potato instead of squash bcos I hate peeling squash. Had cucumber leftover from a different simply Cook kit so put some in yoghurt. Garlic naan :)

Thinking on the first shower Noctis took, post-crystal.
He wakes up, and he has to know on some level that quite some time has passed, even before he reaches Galdin Quay. The scratch of facial hair on his chin, the way his hair is longer and tickles his chin now when it shouldn't have, the accumulated grime - dust and dirt and traces of black soot and gray ash on his fatigues - on his skin and clothes from the struggle in Zegnatus Keep and then a decade in stasis.
I'm not sure if the crystal just up and deposited him on Angelgard, because while Noctis was sucked into it in his entirety - we don't know of the divide between his soul/mind, and his actual body, and there's something so grim in thinking about Noctis himself was in the crystal, absorbing centuries of power, while his body is left in Angelgard.
That also, to me, makes more sense as to why Gentiana and Umbra would be there, guarding him, and later - a la Comrades expansion - the surviving Glaives.
Noctis himself wasn't there, but his body was.
Imagine the feel of that. Ten years worth of grime, or nearly.
I say nearly, and maybe it's just my bleeding heart for how Gentiana does care about Luna, and in turn how Luna cares for Noctis, but there's something very tender and bittersweet in the thought of Gentiana - the messenger and Astral in one - trying her best to keep Noctis healthy during that long decade, like sponge bathing to keep the worst off him.
If anyone had direct access to Noct, it would be her.
It wouldn't be the same as a proper bath, or real exercise, but it would be something - keeping of muscular atrophy and maintaining his hygiene as much as possible (as well as whatever crystal fuckery is going on besides Bahamut's revelation, because the amount of issues Noct should have woken up with makes no small list).
Noctis wakes up, and he walks the trail Umbra paves for him, to the shores of Angelgard - and the royal vessel is waiting there for him. Aged, probably worn, but there to bring him back to the mainland. Back to Lucis.
We never see the interior of the Royal Vessel, but there's probably bedrooms - and probably a bathroom. Considering Noctis would probably be more focused on driving the yacht itself, rather than stopping, it'd be unlikely for him to enter the bathroom - but the thought of him looking into a mirror, and looking at himself, so changed from what he remembers being...
It carves the strongest feeling of loss, down to the roots of my heart in my chest because - Noctis is grown. He's fully grown, a man, and yet - not. Ten years were stolen from him, and he wouldn't even know yet. Not until running into Talcott.
There's so much of his father in his face, but his father is dead. His father never got the chance to see Noctis grown up in life, never would have gotten the chance with the strain of the wall and the magic of their bloodline sucking his life away.
His father, who at the end of it all, would be forced to deliver the final blow which severed Noctis from his body once more.
Permanently.
I think it might be even worse, though. For Noctis to first see himself in the mirrors of Talcott's van. In glimpses, but never as a whole, because it's so damn dark and the sun hasn't risen - hasn't pierced the clouds of miasma - for near ten years.
If there was anywhere he'd be able to see his face, it would be at Hammerhead. Hammerhead, where his retinue was waiting - Prompto, and Gladio, and Ignis (who would, just like Regis, be unable to bear witness to Noctis growth).
They're all different, too. Gladio, with longer hair and more scars to count. Prompto, with a goatee a tad longer than Noct's stubble and facing down Daemons with more practice and experience. Iggy, who can't see, but learned to cook and fight again, with more lines on his face and scars on his hands from where others had helped guide weaponry or cookery away from himself before he had adjusted -
Then, Iggy being the exception (except for the visions in Altissia), they are the first people to see his face, besides Umbra, besides Gentiana, Talcott, the Glaives...
There's the feel of water dousing his hair, rolling down his spine and over his body, and it's not hot or cold - but lukewarm. People in and out of Hammerhead now, the power that goes into heating water needed elsewhere. The scent of bland soap, without any real fragrance. Clear water running dark down a drain as he scrubs and scrubs and scrubs - and he gets out, and he gets dressed in attire fit of a king.
A warrior, heading to war. A man, mortal and yet to become not, preparing to make a declaration to the heavens themselves not in words, but his own spilled blood staining the throne once built off of it.
Just. Noctis waking up after the crystal.
Feelings.

Gourmet Street: Dungeon Meshi meets God of Cookery
With Dungeon Meshi being in public eye again with the Netflix series, I thought it would be a good time to shoutout again about Gourmet Street, my free (tips appreciated) Street Food Fantasy zine! Big thanks to our wonderful artist and layout man @feralindiecharlie
 A New Setting! - Gourmet Street, a collection of scattered and bizarrely connected alleyways, it seems to pop up in any settlement large enough to begin thinking of itself as a city. Stacked high in wood carts, laid out on intricate rugs, swimming in a myriad of sauces, food is the name of the game on Gourmet Street.
 ONE MILLION Food Vendors and Menus! - Never eat the same thing twice! Generate from 8,000 possible unique food vendors and LITERALLY ONE MILLION possible dishes; ranging from Soft-shelled Crabman Sandwiches with Tzatziki sauce and Egg Coffee, to Myconid Zapiekanka in Pesto with a shot of Absinthe! 
 Food Factions! - From the hyper-radical (and slightly deranged) Neuvo Gastro-Alchemists, to the fanatical and militant Vinegar Knights, the food factions each come with their own wants, goals, and boons, IF you choose to serve them...
 A One-Page Adventure: ESCAPE FROM GOURMET STREET! Help a pair (or trio) of star-crossed lovers escape from Gourmet Street in a Snake-and-Ladders inspired chase! Fend off rival lovers, food cart brawls and escaped dishes as you dash through the alleys of Gourmet Street!
 And More! Monsters, magic items, and cookbooks for both Players and GMs to use and abuse!

Incredibly, I just realised I haven't done a pinned post of my AO3 fic. Do mind the tags!
Fluff:
Just in the mood for some cookery shenanigans and domestic fluff? Indulge in Cooking for Beginners
Non-graphic smut:
Want pining, sexual/romantic tension, but with a happy ending (and bonus 1941)? How To Play
Explicit smut:
Want a follow-up of 1941 roleplay with explicit sex, plus a heap of feelings and power-play? Some Kind of Magic Inside
If you're in the mood for Femme Crowley and intriguing lingerie, try The Way That You Hold Me
Fancy some Femme Crowley AND Femme Aziraphale? Enjoy Like Heaven Above Me
How about some restaurant sex roleplay? The Things You Do
Or perhaps a reimagining of the Bastille incident? Somehow You Found Me
Maybe some good ol' phone sex and feelings? A Little Distance
Enjoy some tenderness with your voyeurism? Let Me See You
Why not an ethereal threesome featuring two Soft/Gentle Dom Aziraphales and one Sub Crowley? How I Worship You
If you're after some slow burn, enemies to friends to lovers, there's my Human AU where Azira Fell and AJ Crowley are both neurodivergent, authors, enemies... and, unbeknownst to them, both fans of a certain TV show... Write A Way
Perhaps you'd like to read some emotional make-up sex while Crowley wears the most ridiculous outfit possible? Talking is for Tomorrow
I hope you find something you enjoy - let me know here or in the comments on AO3 💜

Part 2 of my sfth improvised play reviews, which is back by popular demand (only one person asked for a part 2)
The Dark Moons of Slough 10/10
As a person who grew up watching British cookery shows I really enjoyed this one. I love wizard Ascaroth's ringtone and the fact that Jamie Oliver sounds incredibly sinister. The soups causing flashbacks was a stroke of genius and also the idea that Mary Berry is the most powerful witch in the uk is amazing (I think she'd beat Jamie Oliver in a fight without magic powers anyways)
Too Big To Be A Jockey 7/10
Don't get me wrong, it's a really good play but I'm just not enamoured with it. There are some bits I really love like Tom going "ah so that's the kind of character I am" and the reuniting of the brothers at the end but it's just not my favourite of their plays. Also Sam's Irish accent is atrocious.
The Lighthouse 9/10
I laughed so much whilst watching this one. The plot is so abstract and I love it. The idea that the sheep get distressed by having the curtains drawn on the lighthouse is hilarious and I love Sam's character of the inbred sheep that's vaguely human and also does drugs. I also cannot stop hearing Sam just bleating "sex" in answer to luke's question. The ending is chaos, which I enjoy, and the whole play is great.
So that's 3 more reviews. Again lmk what you think but I'm enjoying writing these.
Part 1

In the mood for...
~*~
1. I'm in the mood for a fic where WWX respects and accepts LWJ being vegetarian/pescatarian/vegan instead of it just being assumed that LWJ should adjust to match his eating preferences.
Vendors' Row by Full_Metal_Ox (G, <1k, wangxian, fluff, slice of life, food porn) a vignette of WWX and LWJ eating noodles at a street fair. “Experiences needn't be identical to be shared.”
Alliance of the Traveling Pants by JustAWanderingBabbit (G, 112k, 3Zun, WangXian, WIP, Canon Divergence) in Chapter 30, a fugitive LWJ, undercover in an inn full of Wen soldiers, is being pressured to partake of wine and beef; the waiter (a disguised WWX) sneakily serves him a portion of vegan mock-meat and a winejar of water.
flavour by livsn (G, 4k, wangxian, LWJ & LSZ & WWX, food, established relationship) WWX studies Cloud Recesses cookery to please LWJ. The focus is more on seasoning comfort zones than vegetarianism, but the payoff is LWJ’s favorite tofu soup.
leave all your love and your longing behind by ScarlettStorm (E, 143k, WangXian, Modern AU, no magic, Meet-Ugly, Panic Attacks, autistic lwj, neurodivergent wwx, the neighborhood asshole dog, if you’ve met one then you know, Hurt/Comfort, Pining, Minor Angst, major shenanigans, Happy Ending, for everyone including the asshole dog, Eventual Smut, switch rights, Sex Toys, horny yearning, Masturbation) it’s a modern AU (not sure if the requestor wants canon?), and it has wwx trying to find things that lwj will enjoy eating and drinking; it’s a small part of the main plot, but it’s a nice way wwx goes out of his way to be accepting of lwj throughout the story
请兔子吃晚饭; treating a bunny to dinner by yiqie (T, 5k, WangXian, Modern AU)
Were we the last to know (that we're dating)? by JC_Cathrine (G, 8k, wangxian, modern, college/university au, insecure LWJ, anxious LWJ, depressed WWX, implied/referenced self-harm, hurt/comfort, happy ending, LWJ centric, demisexual LWJ, pining, getting together, panic attacks)
dead doves: please eat by westiec (T, 1k, Literal Dead Dove, Qíshān Wēn Indoctrination, Butchering, Food as a Metaphor for Love, But Also As Literal Food Because They're Hungry, POV NHS, Character Study, [Podfic] dead doves: please eat by fensandpodfic (fensandmarshes)) bonus vegetarian respect from Nie Huaisang in Dead Doves: Please Eat, by westiec (NHS, reluctantly using his bird-catching skills to help feed his friends in the Wen Indoctrination Camp, considerately finds eggs for LWJ.)
~*~

Lynchpin by ShanaStoryteller (Not Rated, 103k, WangXian, JC & WWX, Time Travel, Fix-It, Lynchpin [PODFIC] by Opalsong, [PODFIC] Lynchpin by Gwogobo) uuuhhhh I /suppose/ Lynchpin????? You can't really get more fleshed out than a jc pov fic.

Blur the Edges of Memory by geethr75 (T, 53k, WangXian, XuanLi, NieYao, Poly Junior Quartet, Post canon, Time Travel Fix-It, Canon Divergence, jc friendly, good uncle jc, Good friend JC, no golden core transfer, Sect Leader WWX, Hopeful Ending, Yunmeng Bros Reconciliation, soft JC, Supportive JC, Supportive Junior quartet, Heavy Angst, Fluff and Angst, Mentions of canon typical domestic abuse, Smart OYZZ, Angst with a Hopeful Ending, JC-centric) is a nice JC time-travel fic
With Absolute Splendor by Lise (T, 43k, WangXian, JC & WWX, Post-Canon, Wedding planning, Yunmeng Bros Reconciliation, Complicated Relationships, Angst with a happy ending, [Podfic] With Absolute Splendor by kisahawklin, [PODFIC] With Absolute Splendor by Gwogobo) really anything by Lise that has Jiang Cheng as a character, but I'll especially rec this one as really digging into his psyche
~*~
5. Hello Lovely Mod's! For the I'm In The Mood For - I was looking for some recs on where WWX comes back but finds that LWJ has died (in whatever fashion). LWJ can come back at any point if that's the story, but I'm looking for some stories where WWX returns and LWJ isn't waiting.
Thanks for all that you guys do!!! You keep my To Read section very full. @ommited-miscellaneously
The Second Siege of Cloud Recesses by Cerusee (G, 4k, wangxian, WN & WWX, WWX & LSZ, LXC & WWX, major character death)
Your Light by StellaMozzarella (T, 18k, wangxian, LSZ & WWX, major character death, sorta temporary character death) and i think there was a recent itmf about fics where lan zhan is dead too
Over the Rotted Bridge by vailkagami (T, 314k, WangXian, Temporary Character Death, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, LWJ dies, Wei Wuxian doesn’t die, neither do (most of) the  wens, JYL also lives, Original Character(s), outside pov, YLLZ WWX,  Canon Divergence, CQL Verse, Illustrated, Grief/Mourning, Non-Consensual  Resurrection, mute LWJ, Hurt LWJ, Slow Burn, canonical death of a child  (mentioned), Survivor Guilt, PTSD) 
The Second Siege of Cloud Recesses by Cerusee (G, 4k, WangXian)
the fourth request on this itmf post has a few
~*~
6. Hello!! Itmf fics where the cultivators also have elemental control, kind of like in Avatar the Last Airbender? I can picture the Lan clan wielding ice, the Nie clan wielding stone, etc. It would be interesting to see how the characters slot element bending into their sword forms or night hunting methods. Thanks for any fic suggestions you can give!
Avatar: The Untamed Waterbender by KouriArashi (T, 181k, wangxian, JC/WQ, JC & WWX & JYL, Avatar fusion, action/adventure, families of choice, light angst, developing relationship, hurt/comfort, pining) Avatar! WWX, Waterbender JC, Airbending Lans, Firebending Wens (the author notes that “Wen Qing will be the Zuko”), Earthbending Nie and Jin.
this world (what I make of it) by glitteringmoonlight (T, 22k, WIP, LSZ & WWX & LWJ, WangXian, Avatar & Benders Setting, Avatar (TV) Fusion, Avatar LSZ, Light Angst, aftermath of a war, wangxian occurs but through lan sizhui's pov, and only after a while, Teacher WWX) Avatar (and Last Firebender) LSZ, mentored by Waterbending healer WWX; post-Sunshot, with the Firebending Wens eradicated and vilified in memory.)
Book One: Water by Dont_do_sadness (M, 43k, WIP, WangXian, ChengSang, XuanLi, Avatar & Benders Setting, Avatar (TV) Fusion, LWJ is the avatar, JC is So Done, and very sassy, Found Family Dynamics, chosen family, Friendship, Slow Burn, MDZS Canon Typical Violence, Genderfluid NHS, NHS is a Kyoshi Warrior, Protective WQ) Air Avatar LWJ; Southern Water Tribe Jiangs; Earthbending Nies (and genderqueer Kyoshi Warrior! NHS); Firebending Jins; Northern Water Tribe Wens.) The author does a capable job of shifting and reapportioning the character dynamics; for example, Avatar LWJ is a solemn and earnest Fish Out Of Water, meaning that Aang’s story-driving playfulness has to be carried by WWX.)
Mending the Pieces by JustAWanderingBabbit (G, 98k, 3Zun) although elementbending per se isn’t a thing in JustAWanderingBabbit’s third-generation post-canon fic Mending The Pieces, the fact that each Great Sect represents one of the Chinese Five Elements is a driving plot point, with the question of who will succeed to the Fire slot once held by the Qishan Wen.
~*~
7. Hii! Looking for fics where hie huaisang gets tired of the pining and sets up wangxian from behind the scenes (Can be modern or canon era)

14. hello!!! this is kinda specific: im in the mood for fics where lan sizhui finds out the yiling patriarch is his dad/father figure/guardian BEFORE he knows that senior mo is the yllz, and possibly even before he meets "mo xuanyu" in the first place. (anybody else finding this out is also fair game, whether or not sizhui knows.)
i've read "would you come home?", which gave me this idea, but that fic seems to be set in an au where nobody really knows who wwx was, and i want to be clear that that's not what i'm looking for; i'd much prefer either canon setting or an au (of any kind) where wwx is still (in)famous. what would it be like to find out you were raised by the boogeyman?
thank you very much in advance!!!!<3 @kisskissgotohell
~*~
15. Hey Mods! I`m in the Mood for fics where A) LWJ and WWX fake-date but are like, oh, he would never love me ever! And everyone around them is just….facepalming. Maybe LZ`s POV but everything is fine really.
B) Also in a mood for a fic with LXC and JC fake dating for once.
Thank you so much, My life-Saviors! @desperation-is-my-middle-name

Underwater Cookin
How do they cook underwater ??? Like?? I know they have magic and yadda yadda, but did they really just light fire underwater.
I kinda like to think that they don't normally. Like for the most part mer eat things like raw prepared. Think sashimi ya know. But some places like cookeries have heat geysers that they use to like boil stuff and also pre-prepare things for folk who don't want to on their own I guess. Imma be back with HCs on how the octatrio learned how to cook on land cuase I think it'd be both interesting and funny that they learned like fire cooking when at the school and stuff. Learning what fry oil is the works lol.

White Chocolate Pistachio Brownies with Rose and Cardamom
A prayer for Free Palestine
INGREDIENTS
8 oz (226 g) high quality white chocolate bars, chopped, or chips
3⁄4 cup (168 g) unsalted butter, chopped into small cubes
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 1⁄4 cups (250 g) granulated white sugar
1 tablespoon (15 ml) vanilla extract
1 3⁄4 cups (219 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, or weighed
3⁄4 teaspoon salt
1/2-1 cup of roughly chopped unsalted pistachios
A lot of powdered sugar
Rose Water
3-4 cardamom pods
3 Tbs of whole milk
NOTES:
I scaled the recipe up by about a third to bake them in a 9” round. I found out that they come out better if you make them square according to the recipe as is.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x9 pan and set aside. (You can also line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal.)
2. Melt the butter and the white chocolate together in a double boiler over medium-low heat. Stir continuously to ensure the white chocolate gets heated evenly. Then remove from the heat.
3. Add the eggs, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla to a large bowl and whisk together until pale and smooth. (You can also use an electric hand mixer on high speed to make it easier.)
4. Pour in the white chocolate mixture and whisk until combined and smooth.
5. Fold the flour and salt into the wet ingredients with a rubber spatula just until combined. Then fold in the pistachios.
6. Pour the white chocolate brownie batter into the prepared pan. Use a mini offset spatula to smooth the batter out.
7. Bake the brownies for 30-35 minutes. Then let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
8. Once cool, use a butter knife to loosen the edges of the brownies from the pan, and turn over to gently release. Cut into 16 squares.
9. Make the rose and cardamom drizzle. Warm the milk in a saucepan and break open the cardamom pods. Simmer them in the milk on very low heat until the flavor has infused. Usually 15 minutes to a half hour. Taste the milk to confirm.
10. Strain out the cardamom pods and let the milk cool to room temperature. Add 1/4 tsp rosewater to the milk (you can add more later if you want a rosier flavor) and begin adding powdered sugar. Add a quarter cup to start and stir until no lumps remain. Continue adding powdered sugar until you get a nice thick drizzle-able consistency. Taste and adjust the rosewater content if necessary.
11. Split the icing into two batches. Add pink food coloring to one and green food coloring to the other.
12. Put each icing into separate sandwich bags/piping bags. Cut a very small hole in the corner and use the bag to pipe the icing. Alternatively, you can just use a fork to do the drizzle. Allow to set.
13. Call your reps and demand a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Go to protests. Boycott Starbucks, HP, Puma, Sodastream and the other companies that support the violence against Palestinians, found at this link. Do everything you can. Don’t look away.
“When Prophet Ibrahim was thrown into fire by the oppressor of the time, Numrud, a bird took drops of water in her beak and dropped it over the fire.
The other animals laughed: ‘what will your drops of water do for the largest of fires?’
The bird replied: ‘it may make no difference to the flames but when God asks me, ‘my Friend was burning, what did you do’ at least I won’t be ashamed.’
When you speak, when you protest, when you write, remember that.
God’s friends are burning. Let us not be ashamed 🇵🇸”
Taken from @zainab_alavi1 on instagram.
When this is over will you be able to face yourself?

I'm the WolxThancredxEmet anon and I just LOVED your hcs. I wanted to ask for more of the same trio, maybe more fluffy hcs? Tysm
ask and ye shall receive, dear anon! these guys are always fun to write for <3
pairing: Thancred Waters x gn!WoL x Emet-Selch tags: fluff, polyamory, established relationship
Tumblr media
When it comes to household chores, things are split pretty equally between the trio. Everyone takes turns with the dishes, the laundry, the shopping, etc. In fact, the only task to be “strictly” enforced is cooking.
And by that, I mean… unless the WoL insists on doing it themselves, Thancred and Emet do all the meal preparation. They’ve even worked out a little system between them to keep things balanced.
Thancred makes breakfast, and honestly, he’s pretty good at it. He has all but perfected the art of egg cookery, in particular. (He first started honing this skill in the wilds of Dravania, when chocobo eggs were his main source of non-meat protein.) He’s also been working on a pancake recipe, so the WoL and Emet have been eating a lot of them recently.
Meanwhile, Emet has firmly established himself as the true King of Dinner. Using a combination of acquired technique and magical augmentation, he can churn out three-course meals in less than an hour. 
Emet is also single-handedly responsible for refining and expanding his partners’ palates to include more “exotic” delicacies. He loves to serve them expensive bottles of wine and rare fruits, if only to see the looks on their faces when they take the first taste. 
Emet is a music buff, too, so their home is often full of it. He cycles through genres like no one’s business, playing everything from Doman opera to Meracydian ballads. Thancred has been known to make fun of Emet for some of his stranger tastes, but he’s also been known to dance with him to make the WoL laugh.
In fact, both Thancred and Emet will do just about anything if it means making their lover happy. They’re both very sensitive to the WoL’s moods, and they both know how hard it is to be so in-demand. All three of them cherish their time together and enjoy coming up with new ways to spend it.
They’ve played all sorts of board games, read dozens of books and poems to each other, visited museums and galleries across the continents, and even taken a few art classes together (albeit with… mixed results).
But most of the time, you can find the trio curled up on their sofa, listening to the fire crackle in the hearth as they talk about their days. Usually, the WoL unloads the latest gossip from Tataru or Krile or G’raha. Thancred always listens and nods, entirely devoted to stroking the Warrior’s hair, while Emet laughs or gasps or clutches his pearls along to the story.
At the end of the night, Thancred is first to retire. “I’m getting old,” he claims, rubbing his back for added effect as he heads to their bedroom. “Ha!” Emet quips back. “You wouldn’t know ‘old’ if it bit you on the arse!” 
The Ascian will be up for several hours more. It’s true that Emet is prone to sleeplessness — he always has been — but he also does his best thinking at night. When he does come to bed, Emet finds his partners snuggled up and snoring, and he can’t help but watch for a while as their chests rise and fall. Slow and steady and constant, like the tides of a boundless ocean.

Sourdough Salutations! How does one go about acquiring a library card for this monolith of wisdom? I am looking to check your records for ancient Carbohydramancer Cookbooks. You see, I am one of the last of my order. That is, one of the last of the Carbohydramancers. Our sacred texts were burnt long ago. If any place had any manuscripts remaining, I thought it'd be here.
Signed, @panem-crustus: Bread Wizard.
Welcome, oh Starchy One. It has been a long time since one of your order has graced our halls, and the Librarian is honoured that you would like to make use of our resources. To the South of the Library's main campus, you will find the Baker's Tower, right beside our world-renowned magical boulangerie - you may need to do some dusting, but we offer state-of-the-art kitchens and a full library of magical cookery books. The Librarian would like to assure you that there are at least thirteen first-edition Carbohydramancer Cookbooks in the Tower, as well as a box of scrolls detailing recipes that nobody has yet had the skill or courage to test. If you get lost on your way over, just follow the scent of freshly-baked sourdough. It has never truly faded.
The Wizard Library operates on an honour-based system. Anyone is welcome to enter and browse to their heart's content, however if you would like to borrow any of our resources, then Wizard Library Cards are available, free of charge, from the Receptionist. Please note that they will ask you for an address (this can be as vague or as specific as you'd like), but this is only so that they can settle on loan periods and late fees, which may differ depending on your home dimension and intended method of payment. Cards can be customised as desired.
The Receptionist promises that there is no fine print.

Continued from (here) with @brooklynislandgirl
A grumble of acknowledgement and consideration came up in Ron's chest at Beth's mention of her brother and his skill with all things cookery. The advice made sense to him, the structure, the one, two, three of prep - cut veggies, measure and mix dairy, boil water, salt for taste and--
"Wizard..."
That aside didn't come from quite so nowhere as it might've seemed. Ron added to it as he examined the still unprepped, still neat and tidy and ingredients-strewn worktops. "Man's a cook-wizard." There, see? Context. And a not inaccurate assessment of the named but absent sibling's skill as compared to Ron's. Man may as well have been fuckin' magic by that measure, aye? Time was that Ron had burned water. But that was then and this was now and he had better tools at his disposal in the present moment - what with his cookbook, his Beth and her skills with chopping, and this notion that was as alien to him as the dark side of Mars--
Food Prep.
To and back from the cookbook in his hands Ron's attention went, his proximity to Beth kept as she explained as best she could how her brain tackled the same activity his struggled so hard with. He didn't think in numbers like she did - at least not in such complex forms - but he understood what she meant when she spoke of wonky algebra; of things just not...adding up right; not coming out like the formulas say they will or should. There was nothing 4, nothing 8 about cooking as Ron computed it; nothing even, or easy on the mind. Nothing like his Beth pressed against his side as they surveyed the panoply before them and found, after due consideration, that--
"--Tea."
Yes. Much better a proposition, that. Much more even a proposition, never mind the steps it had about it. Once Ron's cookbook was set down, their mugs appeared as if by magic off the mug tree and were sat beside a teapot ripe for the readying. Up above the worktops with the makings of dinner on lived the tea cupboard. Ron opened it, enjoyed the welcoming scent that escaped, and found the selection within in its bright coloured boxes and tins so much more welcoming than the notion of cooking.
"---If I get-" he began, glancing round and down at Beth. "...If I get biscuits...I bet this lot--" A nod at the unprepared but lovely collection of ingredients before them. "I bet it'll keep if we fridge it, aye?"
That was an out, right there.
One for them both, should bad math win.

Gingerbread house - Day 8
Tumblr media
TW : Fluff
Summary : you and kostas try and get into the Christmasy spirit by making a gingerbread house! Not one of you are the baking type so mess and broken gingerbread is the only answer right?
Tumblr media
"Last Christmas I gave you my heart," you heard being sung from the kitchen door. You weren't sure how, and you weren't sure why kostas had decided to take up a karaoke session, but whatever the reason you loved. "But the very next day you gave it away!" He added with even louder words and even more effort in his dance moves. You stared at him from the door in admiration, you didn't understand. You knew kostas loved Christmas, but this much was slightly concerning as it was still two weeks to go.
"This year," you added as you made yourself known in the doorway.
"To save me from tears!" Kostas shouted back as he used his spatula for a mic. You shimmyed yourself over to him.
"I'll give it to someone special!" You replied back with as you couldn't help but let the laughs fall from your mouth.
"Abit of George Michael," kostas said as he turned the volume down at your presence. You smiled to yourself at how happy and cheery kostas had recently been. With the break of the World Cup, he had found fondness in doing everything he could to bring positivity and perfection back into his life. "How are you?" He asked as he dried his hands off with the teatowel and finished washing up.
"I'm very good! I just finished that meeting online then" you explained with a smile as you picked up your puppy due to her begging attention. "It was so boring," you added with a laugh as you leaned in to kiss his cheek.
"I bet it was," kostas agreed as he kissed your forehead and your puppy's small wrinkley fair. Kostas had a suspicious smile plastered on his face as he looked down at you both.
"What?" You asked as you couldn't understand what his suspicions where.
"I have an idea for us," he explains with a smile as he pushes himself onto the kitchen work tops and guides you to stand in between his legs.
"Elaborate, please," you politely instruct as you looked up at his dark brown orbs. Every inch of his face was something so magical and addicting. The way his smile crept on his face and caused his cheekbones to become more prominent was something so secret to you, something so niche and unique.
"I want to make a gingerbread house with you," he answered with a slight giggle as his hands played with your curled hair. Your heart stopped slightly at his words as neither one of you ever excelled in your cookery skills or even creativity.
"Erm, are you sure that's a good idea?" You asked with a smile as he reached over to grab a small box. "Awww, kostas, you bought one," you cooed as you realised what he was holding. Normally, kostas was filled with plenty of strange and random ideas, but this idea was something he truly meant. This is what he wanted.
"Knowledge," kostas said as he pointed to his brain. He was a sarcastic king.
"Strange," you said back to him as you pointed in the very same spot he did. He rolled his eyes at your cheeky joke and jumped off the hard white marble. This wasn't your fortey, but you were sure you could give it a good go. Well, you hoped and prayed. "What do we start with?" You asked as you leaned across the kitchen counter with your cheek pressed against your hand as you waited for Chef Kostas to fix you with orders.
"All we need to do is stick it together and make windows and doors and stuff like that" he dryly explained as he read the box again as carefully as possible as his tongue stuck out slightly in concentration.
"Well, that should be easy, shouldn't it?" You asked with a laugh as he started pulling the contents of the box out.
"I hope," he simply said back with a roll of his Greek accent coming off his tongue. There was something about kostas being so domestic that made you want to kiss him till the end of time. His arms were so prominent in his thin grey jumper, and his hair was so slick that you could see every pattern and structure in his face. He was heaven, he was perfect, he was art. "Oi where supposed to be a team," kostas pointed out as he clicked his fingers in front of your distracted eyes.
"Alright, moody," you snapped back to him as his face turned up into a smile he was reluctant to show. He never wanted you to win in jokes. Everything was about winning to him, but he was so sure that he had already won everything in life. That was you. "I'll hold these two pieces," you mumbled under your breath as you tried to concentrate on the two slabs of gingerbread. Kostas's hands gently went across yours to lightly place the icing between them both. His wedding band was cold against your fingers as you felt every last detail in his hands.
"Done that one," kostas proudly said as he stood back and took a look at his piece. As his words left his mouth, you took it as a free invite to let go. As your hands released the two slabs, they came falling back down onto the white cold marble. "Babe," kostas warned as his eyes went wide. "What did you think was going to happen then?" He sarcastically asked as he shook his head with a laugh.
"I'm sorry" you apologised with a laugh as you kissed his cheek. Your hand swiped the piece of white icing from the ginger bread and wiped it onto the tip of his nose. "Ooops" you dumbly said with no sense for the words you spoke.
"Y/n," kostas warned again with that smirk you became so familiar with. "You little shit," he joked before picking you up and spinning you around the kitchen. You knew it wouldn't end well, but you did also know that it would make some of the best memories. Yours and his laughs filled the large kitchen as well as the dog barks and huge smiles from all.

uhhh hi ive been tryna hype myself to for proper ask smth for a bit by scrolling through your blog but uhh... anxiety yknow?
Sooo uhhh basically ive been looking into witchcraft for a lil bit now, mostly just the basics (the books that ive found nearby dont even really tell you how to do the basics sadly, they just tell you a few things and dont explain) and i was wondering if you knew any like.... easy-ish to understand witchcraft books? for beginners who dont really know stuff?
(also i live in australia so vaaastly different things available to most places, + im a teenager so things i can do are limited (except oddly enough my mums fine with me doing witchcraft, despite me not being able to do anything else))
also sorry if i phrased this odd. im realllly bad with words in a conversation context.
Also sorry if im bothering you or smth-
Hi, dearie! And welcome to the path. First off, you will never bother me with questions, so please don't worry. It been quite a while since I, myself, was a beginner and those books I would no longer recommend to anyone because they are very outdated. However, of the newer books I really enjoyed: - Grovedaughter Witchery by Bree NicGarran (a.k.a. @breelandwalker, also has a wonderful podcast HexPositive) - Rebel Witch by Kelly-Ann Maddox (also has a Youtube channel) - Weaving the Liminal by Laura Tempest Zakroff (also has YT)
Also some Youtube channels I enjoy, besides those above: - the Witches' Cookery - Chaotic Witch Aunt - Mintfaery - Molly Roberts - Magical Crafting Aaaand some Podcasts: - Hex Positive by @breelandwalker - BS Free Witchcraft by @traegorn - That Witch Life podcast Hope you will find something to get you started! Have fun, be safe, and follow the things that interest you. You don't have to believe in, or incorporate everything in your craft. Better to go with the things that speak to you, and leave the ones that don't. Good luck!
