✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* Hi there! *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Going to bed can be reeeeally hard for me, and I know it’s hard for a lot of other regressors too. One thing that really helps for me is a soothing drink in a sippy or bottle! Soooo- here are some yummy bedtime milk recipes!

Unfortunately I don’t have a cg to make these, but if you have one feel free to share this list with them. If not, that’s okay too! I make these myself all the time, just remember to ALWAYS be careful with hot tools and liquids in the kitchen. <3

also, if you can’t have dairy (like me!) just replace these with whatever milk alternative you use. I use soy milk and it’s yummy! :P

also-also, most of these recipes reference using a sippy or bottle. However, if you don’t have or don’t use those, they taste just as good in a mug!

Onto the recipes!

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚Classic Angel Milk˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Angel milk is a classic for regressors, and it’s so easy to make! It’s also a great base for other recipes. You can add a little bit of cinnamon or nutmeg too if you’d like!

Ingredients:

Milk

Sugar

Vanilla extract

Steps:

Fill your sippy or bottle with milk.

Add one to three tablespoons of sugar, it’s up to taste!

Add a little splash of vanilla extract. You only need a tiny bit, it’s very strong!

Microwave until warm!

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚Chamomile Angel Milk˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

This one is my own recipe! Chamomile is an herb that naturally helps our bodies get sleepy, and it smells comforting to me. Be careful though, because this one uses hot water!

note: you can replace the chamomile with other herbal teas for different uses! this recipe with ginger tea is great for littles with upset tummies.

Ingredients:

Water

Chamomile tea bag

Milk

Sugar (or honey)

Vanilla extract

Steps:

Boil some water. Careful, it’s hot!

Carefully pour about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of hot water into a mug, and place a single chamomile tea bag into that water. Cover with a plate and let steep for about 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, remove the tea bag and squeeze out the extra liquid (use a fork if it’s too hot). Pour the super strong tea into the bottom of your bottle or sippy.

Add milk to the tea and fill up the bottle, and then follow steps 2-4 of the angel milk recipe!

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚Caramel Milk˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

This one might require a caregiver’s help! If you don’t have a caregiver just be very careful, maybe use oven mitts and don’t do this if you’re feeling extra tiny.

Ingredients:

2 cups milk

3-4 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

Add the sugar and butter to a small pan over medium heat. As the butter melts, stir it to combine with the sugar.

Microwave the milk until it’s warm. Don’t add it yet though!

Caramelize the sugar: cook to a nice amber color. Be careful not to let it burn! If you want the caramel flavor to be less intense just cook it to a slightly lighter color than amber.

When the sugar is ready, remove it from heat.

Add your milk in a steady stream as you stir. The sugar will seize up and there will be sizzling, but keep stirring.

Place back on stovetop over low heat. Make sure you don't boil the milk!

Keep stirring until all of the caramelized sugar is melted into the milk.

Pour your milk! Any leftover milk can go in the fridge.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚Banana Milk˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

This one is a cold drink, and using the blender might be dangerous if you’re feeling too tiny!

Ingredients:

1 ripe banana, sliced or broken into pieces

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup water

1 tablespoon maple syrup, honey, or sugar

A small drop of vanilla extract

Steps:

Put all ingredients into a blender and combine until smooth. That’s it! If you have sensory issues like me you can pour it through a strainer to make sure it’s completely smooth, but it’s usually fine. Serve immediately!

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚Now for the extra tiny ones˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Besides the angel milk, several of these can be kind of risky to do on your own! I definitely know that when I’m feeling extra small, working with hot stuff or appliances can be dangerous. Luckily, if angel milk gets boring, Nesquik comes to the rescue!

I just fill up my sippy and add some of the Nesquik (or any other milk flavoring powder) and then shake it up! The chocolate is good hot or cold. My favorite is probably the banana though, although it’s hard to find. The strawberry is good too!

Stay safe little ones, and sweet dreams! If you drink any of these before bed, try to brush your teeths before you go to sleep if possible. <3

Our shop is back open now (after almost a year of being on hiatus)! There's a whole explanation over there about what's been going on with us (spoiler alert: it's nothing good :P) but we figured with a shop that's staying in one heckin' place, we'd reintroduce you to all of the scents in our lineup! :D

The fifth candle we introduced was Puckish Rogue and it's inspired by the Saints Row series (mostly the main character aka the Boss you create <3)! It’s a musky scent with a hint of cherry blossom and is both hard and relaxing, so you can be both badass and chill at the same time, just like the awesome Boss you created. :)

This candle is an 8oz. glass jelly jar with a pewter daisy cut lid and has a cotton/paper wick. All of our candles are made with 100% natural soy wax, are handmade and are poured in very small batches. You can find Puckish Rogue and others over at Waxing Sky Studios!

You can also get wax melts of all of our scents as well (aroma beads are also on the horizon!) in case you are in a place where you can't burn candles but still want a scent!

Feather In The Wind (Valentine's Day Special 2024)

The first Valentine’s Day that Dabi spends with the Paranormal Liberation Front is a peaceful one- at least compared to what he’s used to. After a childhood full of pain and trauma- ruined holidays and cold nights spent outside pushing himself to the edge with his individual training while his father ignored him in favor of abusing Shouto- being in his own large, lavish room within the confines of the base is… Interesting, to say the least.

There’s no booming yells reverberating through the walls, no ashes or burn marks on the floor, no slaps echoing through the hallway. His old family is dead and gone to him, instead replaced by Toga who barged into his room with Twice just over an hour ago to share a sushi dinner with him on his bed.

He isn’t sure he considers the members of what was once the League of Villains a family or even a group of friends, but they’re people who share his ideologies, and they love him more than anyone else ever has. So, when they come knocking at his door with dinner to make sure he’s fed, he doesn’t deny them, nor does he rush them out. He figures there’s no better way to spend the day of love than with the few people who truly love him. That’s why it’s nearly past two in the morning by the time they finally fuck off and leave Dabi with the takeout container trash and a soy sauce stain on his wrinkled bedsheets.

It’s a quiet night, so Dabi finds himself going out to the balcony with a cigarette in hand. He lights it with his quirk and lets out a sigh as the cold air consumes him. Snowflakes fall over him in quick succession, melting on his hot skin and clothing, leaving him damp but still warm due to the insulating nature of his quirk. He takes a few long drags from his cigarette and watches the smoke he blows out puff up in the frosty air.

The base that they all stay in is a large tower that oversees the rest of Deika City. It’s a quiet and peaceful town with most of the members being part of the liberation front. They go to bed early most nights so they can wake up even earlier come morning to train for the cause… Dabi almost wonders if the gullible grunts Re-Destro and Shigaraki have gathered and molded are just as bad as the society of heroes they’re fighting against. They blindly follow their grand commander, not questioning his authority or morals, blindly agreeing with everything he says even when it’s not in their best interest. Dabi supposes he’s not much better, though. He’s never agreed with Shigaraki’s morals a hundred percent, but he’s never dared call the man out- especially now with his newfound power, he and this organization could end Dabi in a heartbeat.

It doesn’t matter, anyway, Dabi supposes. While Shigaraki is going mad with power and while his objective becomes more and more questionable by the day, they both want the same thing in the end; to destroy heroes and the terrible society they’ve made since their manifestation.

He isn’t sure why he bothers. His life has been a living hell for a long time and soon enough, he’s going to go up in flames like the rest- probably by his own doing… Hopefully by his own doing. Dabi laughs to himself, mulling over it all. Then, something small comes into view. At first, he thinks it may be a piece of trash or even some sort of animal, but it gets closer until he makes out the familiar shape.

Dabi blinks and burns his cigarette out, abandoning it on the floor of the balcony so he can narrow his turquoise eyes at the red feather that’s just landed on the railing. Is it a coincidence? No, it must be from Hawks. It’s too large to be from a bird. But what does it mean? Is it a signal? A warning? Some sort of fucked up joke? He’s well aware that the pro hero frequently uses his feathers for spy work and wonders if he should light the damn thing on fire, but then he sees something else in the distance- no, someone, and he quickly puts together who it is.

Hawks is flying towards him in a downward trajectory. At least three fourths of his feathers are gone and some of the ones remaining on his left wing are singed at the ends. His jacket isn’t over his shoulders despite the freezing temperatures, instead balled up in his hands and pushed up against his abdomen. The blond’s whole outfit is tattered and there’s blood on his hands and face as he weakly flutters towards the tower.

After what feels like forever, Hawks gets close enough that he’s hovering about ten meters above the balcony. A harsh gust of wind seems to knock the last of Hawks’s energy out of him and send his body falling down to where Dabi’s standing.

Part of Dabi wants to tell the poor bastard to get fucked and go inside so he can enjoy the rest of his night, but before he can think better of what is arguably a poor decision for him to make, he finds himself reaching out and catching the pro hero in his arms. Hawks crashes into him with a pained groan, wrapping an arm around Dabi’s neck. His wings have given out and he’s too weak to do anything else, so Dabi wraps both arms around him in return to support his weight.

“...Hawks,” Dabi breathes out, too shocked by Hawks’s entrance to say much else. He drags the man inside through the screen door of his suite before the two of them can be caught outside like this by Shigaraki or any of the other lieutenants, locking the door behind them and quickly glancing out the glass of the door to make sure they haven’t been seen. A quick sigh of relief falls from between his lips when he realizes that no one was outside or nearby, but that relief is replaced by confusion the second he notices Hawks is too weak to walk as well. “What-?”

“I… I didn’t know,” Hawks starts, voice raspy. There’s clearly something wrong aside from the basic injuries and exhaustion that are already apparent. Dabi thinks he may have to press for that information as he sets Hawks down to sit on the edge of his bed, only for Hawks to pull his crumpled up jacket off of where he’s been holding it against his stomach to reveal a massive burn wound. It’s ghastly and large, just on the left side of his abdomen, bleeding and fresh. It looks like there’s shards of varying sizes in it, perhaps shrapnel from an explosive or some sort of weapon-based quirk. “I mean, where else could I have gone? You’re not my first choice, but you were nearby and I’m sure this is your area of expertise.”

“You could’ve gone literally anywhere but here… And you chose to come here to Deika city,” Dabi sighs. On top of soy sauce stains, he’s also going to have blood stains on his sheets. That’s going to be a fun lie to come up with if anyone sees his room before he has the chance to wash them… Huffing, the white-haired man goes into his connected bathroom and grabs the first aid supplies. Thankfully, he’s so used to burning himself from overdoing it with his quirk that he has to treat second and third degree burns regularly. When he returns, he sets the supplies on the edge of the bed and glares down at Hawks. “First aid isn’t exactly my forte, dumbass. Best case scenario, you’re going to lose a ton of blood. Worst case scenario, you’re going to die of an infection in a few days.”

“Calm down,” Hawks says with a dismissive wave. “I trust you. You know that.”

“That’s bullshit,” Dabi points out, because truth be told, their relationship is complicated. Hawks may or may not have killed Best Jeanist and brought him to be turned into a Nomu- that much is true, but if Dabi is anything, it’s a good judge of character. He’s well aware that while the other man isn’t completely brainwashed like a lot of the other pro-heroes, he’s at least misguided and intent on staying complicit in allowing them to continue upholding their vile hero-centered society. On the other side of things, Dabi knows that Hawks understands him as well, and that they can’t truly be friends let alone anything more than that… At least they shouldn’t be. Yet, they both frequently toe the line of what is and isn’t appropriate for a relationship that’s supposedly based around their work. “And even if it weren’t… Neither of us should trust each other.”

“Just try your best,” Hawks shrugs.

“Fine. Take off any of the clothes covering your injuries and lie down,” Hawks does as instructed, removing his clothes painstakingly slow for someone who’s supposed to be having a dire medical crisis. First, his shattered visor and headphones, then his boots, followed by his socks, then his tattered shirt and pants. The only things left on are jewelry and his boxers as he lies down on the end of Dabi’s bed. Dabi sits beside Hawks’s left hip on the mattress, his first aid kit in hand. His eyes flicker between the bloody jacket on the floor and Hawks’s injury. “Be prepared for this shit to hurt like hell.”

“Whatever happens happens.”

With that, Dabi gets to work.

“Oh, yeah, because that’s exactly what I need right now- a dead hero on my hands.”

“Think of it this way; I’m sure Shigaraki has explicitly ordered you not to kill me despite your suspicions about my loyalty to the cause, so now you have extra motivation to keep me alive.”

“Tch, fine,” Dabi rolls his eyes for what feels like the millionth time that night as he puts a pair of gloves from his first aid kit on. He rinses Hawks’s wound with saline and dampens some gauze with the same solution. “Only for you would I keep a pro-hero in my god damn bedroom…”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Hawks shakily replies with a wince.

“Nothing, just know that you’ve only got tonight. You try to mooch off of me any longer than that and I’m kicking your sorry ass out of here.”

“Fine, fine.”

An awkward silence falls upon them. Dabi continues to work, slowly but surely, packing the wound to the best of his ability. Part of him wonders if he should’ve recruited Toga- she wouldn’t rat him out for keeping Hawks here, and she would certainly be much better at tending to the hero’s injury, but part of Dabi wants to be the only one to do this for Hawks. Dabi’s mind races; why would Hawks come here, will he be okay, what does this sort of intimate interaction mean for them, what if Shigaraki finds out about this, and most importantly-

“Who did this to you?”

“Huh?” Hawks blinks, seemingly baffled by the question. “Why do you care?”

“Just tell me who did this to you,” Dabi demands. “I want to know.”

“Tch, what are you gonna do? Kill ‘em?”

Dabi feels his cheeks burn red. In order to keep himself from meeting Hawks’s eyes, he focuses on the wound a little more than he needs to, paying extra attention and being especially gentle with how he covers the packing job. Just to be safe, he tapes an extra layer of gauze over it and pulls out some tape bandages.

“Maybe,” Dabi answers, perhaps a little slower than he should for it to be believable. “Now sit up so I can finish up.”

“Since when do you care so much?”

“Does it really matter? I assume you were trying to capture whoever it was anyways.”

“Yeah, I was trying to apprehend her to turn into the police, not kill her,” Hawks says. He tenses as he forces himself to sit up straight despite the evident pain that’s telling him not to. “Don’t tell me… You’re upset that I’m hurt?”

“So what if I am? You rocked up to my place at two in the morning on Valentine’s Day expecting me to play nurse- I think I have the right to be just a little pissed,” Dabi retorts, wrapping the tape bandages around Hawks’s mid-section to fully cover the wound on his side.

“I’m surprised you’re keeping me here… And that you helped me in the first place,” Hawks sighs and lays back on the bed as soon as Dabi finishes. Against his better judgment, Dabi joins him. The two men lie on their backs, staring up at the ceiling, side by side, far closer than two friends- two enemies- two comrades, should be. Hawks turns his head so he can look at Dabi, and while Dabi doesn’t return the heated stare, he can most certainly feel it burning holes into him. “Why?”

“Because it’s you,” He whispers before he can think better of it. Dabi, usually so calm and so collected, feels himself falling apart. He reaches out to hold Hawks’s hand. Everything that follows is nothing but uncharacteristically impassioned word vomit. “And I don’t know what it is about you that I like so much, but I couldn’t just let you fall and snap your neck or crack your pretty little head open on my balcony.”

“Heh, you like me?” Hawks teases, intertwining their fingers and giving Dabi’s palm an affectionate squeeze.

“It’s not like that,” Dabi raises his voice and snatches his hand away. Briefly, he wonders if this was a mistake. “Are you laughing at me?”

“Yeah? So what if I am? What are you gonna do about it? I’m already injured as it is- you’d have to tear a limb off or kill me for things to be any worse than they are now.”

“You’re annoying.”

“Thanks for this…” Hawks responds. Dabi looks over to see the man smiling at him. “I owe you one.”

“No shit. Seriously, why’d you come here in the first place? Even if you were nearby, let’s not pretend that your injury was life-threatening enough to make you desperate.”

“Would you believe me if I told you that I don’t have anyone else?”

“Really? No family? None of your pro hero friends? No fan girls to spend the day of love with?”

“No,” Hawks answers. He rolls onto his uninjured side- into Dabi- and places a hand on his chest. Dabi freezes at the touch. “I’m not very close with my family and my ‘pro hero friends’ aren’t my friends, they’re my coworkers. The fan girls are… A little much, too. It’s not smart to get attached to any of them.”

“And yet you’re attached to me? Or, attached to me enough that you felt safe coming here, even knowing who I am and what I’m capable of.”

“I didn’t say that I was attached to you at all, Dabi. Don’t put words in my mouth.”

“But it’s obvious,” Dabi points out. “Just like I’m attached to you… You wouldn’t have come here and trusted me to help you like this if you didn’t feel something for me.”

“And you would’ve let me crash on your balcony and die in the freezing cold or ratted me out to Shigaraki and the others if you didn’t feel the same way.”

“So, what? Does that make us friends now? I know you’ve been trying to get buddy-buddy with me for a while. I bet you’re real happy now.”

“Friends? Let’s not pretend it’s that easy,” Hawks says with a sardonic laugh. “We both know it’s not.”

“Does it matter?”

“I guess not. We both know how this ends, anyway.”

“Then don’t argue semantics with me, you prick.”

And for a moment, the two men share a glance; a moment of peace wherein there’s no hero and no villain, no war, no anything or anyone but the two of them. Gold burns into icy blue. Dabi assumed he’d lost his heart long ago, but he’s sure it skips a beat when he feels Hawks’s calloused hand over it through his clothes.

“Dabi?” Hawks starts, love and adoration radiating off of him in potent waves that make Dabi nauseous.

Dabi reaches over to place a hand on top of Hawks’s.

“Yeah?”

“What are we after this?”

“...I think we both know the answer to that,” Dabi says, because he knows deep down that this won’t work. It never could. They don’t have a chance. Putting a label on this would just upset them even more when it inevitably has to end. “Let’s not make this more complicated than this needs to be… I mean, let’s just enjoy each other while we can.”

“Right. I guess we shouldn’t let this change anything… Well, aside from the obvious, that is. Just wanted to make sure we were on the same page! I’d hate for you to catch feelings and-”

Annoyed by Hawks’s bluffing, Dabi interjects.

“I never said that I hadn’t caught feelings, you idiot; just that we shouldn’t label whatever it is that we are,” Dabi rolls over to face away from Hawks. He’s unsurprised when Hawks scoots closer and tosses an arm over his waist. “You better be out of here by the time I wake up tomorrow.”

“Trust me, Dabi, you won’t even know I was here in the first place.”

Dabi scoffs and closes his eyes, unable to shake the uneasiness that comes with someone holding him so sweetly. And, for a moment before he drifts off into sleep, Dabi briefly wonders if this is what love- or friendship, or whatever the hell this is- is supposed to feel like, like someone trusting you to take care of them and offering you affection in return, like the scent of burnt skin and blood and sweat lingering on his bedsheets.

When he wakes up the following afternoon, Dabi is so groggy that he almost forgets what occurred the night before until he sees red splotches on his bedding. He glances over at the other side of the bed to see that it’s empty, but that there’s still a few strands of blond hair left behind on one of the pillows. Then, he rolls out of bed so he can check the bathroom and balcony.

As he expected, Hawks kept a promise for once and left before Dabi woke up. Disappointment threatens to wash over, but at the very least, Hawks was kind enough to leave a red feather on the balcony. Dabi steps outside and picks it up before the winter wind can blow it away, a fond smile threatening to take over his lips as he takes it in, knowing that Hawks will be back soon enough.

What a beautiful Valentine’s Day gift.

Favorite way to receive affection?

What’s something their significant other can do to make them feel safe?

Do they workout or put on makeup for their significant other?

Do they find a need to be in a relationship, or do they have a ‘if it happens it happens’ feeling?

What food or drink can be given to them to show that their partner really cares?

Soft Sunday Mornings || Accepting

I. Favorite way to receive affection? Beth loves the feel of fabrics beneath her fingers. Moreso the warmth and texture of skin beneath her own. Likewise, she adores being caressed, kissed, or hugged close. Holding hands and laying with her head in someone's lap while they card through her hair are things that make her melt. II. What's Something their significant other can do to make them feel safe? To physically make her feel safe? Wrap her in a hug. Hold her close and let her head rest against your chest so that she can feel your heart beating. Rub small circles against her back. Let her make a blanket fort out of your arms {or your hoodie}. To emotionally make her feel safe? Listen to her without laughing or mocking the strange little things that eat at her in the dead of night. Don't tease her about struggling with words and don't be mad at her when she asks you to repeat yourself a half dozen times. Give her the grace to be the little manic-pixie nurse-shark she tries so hard to be, it helps her hold off the gaping maw of depression. III. Do they workout or put on makeup for their significant other? Beth prefers yoga, jogging, surfing, swimming, dancing...almost everything other than what she considers banal gym-rat work outs, unless she's doing so with a friend or partner. Make it a game or a competition and she'll go as hard as she possibly can. A lot of time though, it has to wait until she's rested up from her gruelling work schedule. As for make up, she knows how to apply it for special events, or for specific reasons, causes. She does, on the occasion, enjoy dramatic looks that emphasises her eyes and her lips, drawing attention to what she considers her best facial features but for the most part, the more comfortable and engaged she is by someone, the easier it is for her to go au natural. IV. Do they find a need to be in a relationship, or do they have a ‘if it happens it happens’ feeling? Beth doesn't believe that relationships last. She doesn't see herself as someone worth keeping after the initial shine has worn off and the work begins. She works too long and too hard. She's always got one thing or another to eat up the time between her shifts, causes she's tied to and obligations that aren't exactly good for her mental health. She's under no delusion that she isn't a handful that no one really wants to take on for very long. She's content having her deepest relationship being with her Hanai Sister, being part of the group rather than the centre of someone's universe. V. What food or drink can be given to them to show that their partner really cares? A properly brewed cup of Kona coffee, with either soy milk or coconut milk, and two modest spoons of sugar. This is love and life in one perfect cup. She misses all of the foods that were common in Hawai'i growing up; kalua pork, spam musubi, poi ~two finger, try an' mahalo~ or malasadas, manapua, saimin, loco moco...the list is endless. While Beth considers herself primarily a pescatarian, she does and will eat things with meat when she's in her native islands. And while this may sound easy, almost nothing on the mainland resembles authentic Hawai'ian or Samoan food. She would probably stab somebody for the low, low price of real huli-huli chicken and a side of ogo. Outside of that, coffee and cinnamon crumb coffee cake are good choices.

“Coconut Milk” The Heart of Thai Cuisine 🌴🥥🇹🇭

When you think of fruit in Thailand, the image of the coconut inevitably comes to mind, conjuring visions of palm trees swaying in the breeze.🌴

It's only natural to think of the coconut as one of Thailand's signature fruits, alongside the durian. In Thai culinary tradition, coconut milk, known locally as "Ka-Ti," is not merely an ingredient but a fundamental element ✨.

🥥 Its rich, creamy texture with slight notes of melted butter, profoundly influences the flavor dynamics of Thai cuisine. This indispensable component lends dishes a distinctive character that is both versatile and integral to the regional variations across the country.

[ Why is Coconut Milk important to Thai food ? ]

1. Creamy Texture

Coconut milk is celebrated for its ability to impart a lush, creamy consistency to Thai dishes. This texture is crucial, especially in main dishes such as curries.

In Thai desserts, it provides a silky mouthfeel that elevates simple ingredients into comforting sweets.

2. Flavor Balance

Coconut milk softens the intensity of chili peppers while enhancing other flavors. Furthermore, coconut milk enables a more nuanced flavor profile, allowing other ingredients such as lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves to surface and be appreciated in the palate.

3. Creativity in Regional Cooking

Coconut milk is a versatile ingredient used in both savory and sweet dishes. Each region of Thailand utilizes coconut milk in uniquely expressive ways.

[ 🇹🇭 A Taste of Thailand: Coconut Milk Featuring Four Regions 🍽️ ]

📍Central Regions

In Central Thailand, coconut milk is used liberally to create smooth, rich textures in both savory and sweet dishes. This region emphasizes a balanced flavor profile, where the creaminess of coconut milk complements the heat of chilies and the tang of citrus and tamarind.

🍲 Highlight maindish : Tom Kha Gai (Sour and Sour Soup), Gaeng Kiew Wan (Green Curry)

🍨 Highlight dessert : Khanom Tuay (Thai Coconut Custard Dessert)

📍 Southern Regions

Southern Thailand's cuisine utilizes coconut milk to tame the intense spiciness of its dishes and to complement the abundant seafood.

🍲 Highlight maindish : Golek Chicken (Grilled Spicy Chicken), Gaeng Pu Bai Cha Plu (Crab Meat Soup with Wild Betel Leaf)

🍨 Highlight dessert : Khanom Co (Rice Flour Dumplings in Sweet Coconut Cream)

📍 Northern Regions

For the traditional cuisine of Northern Thailand, it is characterized by a distinctly unique taste, and the ingredients must come from natural sources.

For example, Northern Thai cuisine generally avoids adding sugar, instead relying on the natural sweetness of the ingredients used in cooking. One of the ingredients that adds a rich flavor is coconut milk.

Coconut milk is an ingredient that not only enhances the richness of the dish but also ensures that the flavor of the main ingredients remains prominent.

🍲 Highlight maindish : Khao Soi (Thai Curry Noodle Soup), Gaeng Yuak Gluay (Banana Stalk Curry)

🍨 Highlight dessert : Khanom Sila-On (Pandan Coconut Sweet Pudding)

📍 Northeast (Isan) Regions

Isan cuisine is primarily known for its bold flavors, emphasizing the use of herbs and strong seasonings such as chili, lime, and fermented fish sauce. These ingredients are combined in a variety of ways to enhance the intense flavors of the dishes. Due to this preference for robust tastes, coconut milk, which is milder and adds a creamy texture, is not very popular in Isan cooking.

🍲 Highlight maindish : Mee Ka-Ti Isan (Noodle with Coconut Curry)

🍨 Highlight dessert : Khanom Mok Ma Prao (Thai Coconut Rice Dumpling)

💡 Did you know ?

For example, coconut oil is widely used for frying and in desserts, while desiccated coconut is often sprinkled over sweets and sometimes savory dishes, adding texture and flavor. These products showcase the versatility of the coconut in Thai culinary practices, reflecting its deep-rooted significance in the country's food culture. 🥥🌴🇹🇭

"กะทิ" หัวใจสำคัญของอาหารไทย 🌴🥥🇹🇭

หากนึกถึงผลไม้ของไทย “มะพร้าว” 🌴 ก็เป็นหนึ่งในผลไม้อันดับต้น ๆ ที่ถูกนึกถึงนอกเหนือจากทุเรียน โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่ง ในแง่ของการทำอาหารไทย“กะทิ” น้ำสีขาวข้นที่ได้จากการคั้นมะพร้าวแก่ ก็เป็นหนึ่งในองค์ประกอบที่สำคัญและจำเป็นอย่างยิ่งของอาหารไทย ✨

🥥 เนื้อสัมผัสที่เนียนละเอียดผสานกับรสชาติเข้มข้นหอมมันของน้ำกะทิ มีอิทธิพลอย่างมากต่อพลวัตของรสชาติอาหารไทย ส่งผลให้เมนูอาหารไทยเกิดเอกลักษณ์เฉพาะตัวอันโดดเด่น

[ เพราะเหตุใด “กะทิ” จึงมีบทบาทสำคัญของครัวไทย ? ]

เมื่อมาดูเมนูอาหารไทย ไม่ว่าจะเป็นอาหารคาวหรือขนมหวาน เราจะพบว่า "กะทิ" เป็นหนึ่งในส่วนประกอบที่มักจะปรากฏอยู่เสมอ 🥥

1. เนื้อสัมผัสที่มันและเข้มข้น

กะทิเป็นวัตถุดิบที่โดดเด่นในการเพิ่มความมันนุ่มนวลและเนื้อสัมผัสที่เข้มข้นให้กับอาหารไทย ซึ่งเนื้อสัมผัสนี้มีความสำคัญโดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งในอาหารประเภทแกงต่าง ๆ

สำหรับขนมหวานไทย การใส่กะทิจะเพิ่มความละมุนและเนื้อสัมผัสที่เนียนนุ่มมากขึ้น

2. ความสมดุลของรสชาติ

การใส่กะทิจะช่วยลดความเผ็ดร้อนของพริกซึ่งมักจะถูกใช้ในอาหารไทย ตลอดจนช่วยเพิ่มความซับซ้อนของรสชาติที่เสริมเน้นรสชาติของวัตถุดิบอื่น ๆ เช่น ตะไคร้ ขิงอ่อน และใบมะกรูด ให้โดดเด่นกลมกล่อมยิ่งขึ้น

3. ความคิดสร้างสรรค์ในภูมิภาคต่าง ๆ

กะทิเป็นส่วนผสมที่หลากหลาย สามารถใช้ได้ทั้งในอาหารคาวและหวาน โดยในแต่ละภูมิภาคของประเทศไทยจะนำกะทิมาใช้ในวิธีที่แตกต่างกันและมีเอกลักษณ์เฉพาะตัว

[ 🇹🇭 กะทิไทย ไปไกลทั้ง 4 ภูมิภาค 🍽️ ]

📍ภาคกลาง

ในภาคกลางของประเทศไทย กะทิจะถูกนำมาใช้อย่างแพร่หลายเพื่อสร้างเนื้อสัมผัสที่เนียนและลดระดับรสชาติที่เข้มข้น พร้อมเสริมสมดุลของรสอาหารทั้งในอาหารคาวและหวาน อาหารไทยตำรับจากภาคกลาง จึงมีรสชาติอาหารที่สมดุล ไม่เผ็ดจัดจ้าน หรือ หวานเค็มจนเกินไป

🍲 อาหารจานเด่น: ต้มข่าไก่, แกงเขียวหวาน

🍨 ขนมหวานเด่น: ขนมถ้วย

📍ภาคใต้

อย่างที่ทุกท่านทราบกันดี อาหารใต้ของไทยมีความเผ็ดร้อนเป็นหนึ่งในเอกลักษณ์ที่โดดเด่น สำหรับการใช้กะทิในครัวอาหารใต้นั้น เพื่อลดระดับความเผ็ดร้อนที่รุนแรงสำหรับบางเมนู และยังช่วยเสริมรสชาติของอาหารทะเลให้ดียิ่งขึ้น

🍲 อาหารจานเด่น: ไก่กอและ, แกงปูใบชะพลู

🍨 ขนมหวานเด่น: ขนมโค

📍ภาคเหนือ

สำหรับอาหารประจำภาคเหนือของประเทศไทย จะมีจุด��ด่นที่รสชาติที่เป็นเอกลักษณ์อย่างเด่นชัด และวัตถุดิบส่วนใหญ่คงไว้ซึ่งรสตามธรรมชาติโดยไม่แต่งเติม เช่น อาหารเหนือมักจะไม่นิยมใส่น้ำตาล แต่จะอาศัยรสชาติจากตัววัตถุดิบที่นำมาประกอบอาหารแทน หนึ่งในวัตถุดิบที่สร้างความกลมกล่อมได้ดีคือ กะทิ นั่นเอง

นอกจาก กะทิ จะช่วยเพิ่มความกลมกล่อมแล้ว ยังช่วยเสริมให้รสชาติของส่วนผสมหลักโดดเด่นยิ่งขึ้นไปอีกด้วย

🍲 อาหารจานเด่น: ข้าวซอย, แกงหยวกกล้วย

🍨 ขนมหวานเด่น: ขนมศิลาอ่อน

📍ภาคตะวันออกเฉียงเหนือ (อีสาน)

อาหารอีสานส่วนใหญ่จะมีจุดเด่นในเรื่องของรสชาติที่จัดจ้าน เน้นการใช้สมุนไพรและเครื่องปรุงที่ให้รสชาติแรงและชัดเจน เช่น พริก มะนาว และปลาร้า อีกทั้งยังมีการใช้เครื่องปรุงที่หลากหลาย ส่งผลให้รสชาติของอาหารเข้มข้น บทบาทของกะทิจึงไม่ค่อยเป็นที่นิยมในครัวอีสานมากเท่าไหร่

🍲 อาหารจานเด่น: หมี่กะทิอีสาน

🍨 ขนมหวานเด่น: ขนมหมกมะพร้าว

💡รู้หรือไม่?

อาหารไทย ไม่ได้ใช้เพียงแค่กะทิซึ่งเป็นส่วนที่คั้นน้ำออกมาจากเนื้อมะพร้าวเพียงอย่างเดียว แต่ยังมีผลิตภัณฑ์อื่น ๆ จากมะพร้าว เช่น น้ำมันมะพร้าว และมะพร้าวขูดแห้งที่มักถูกนำมาใช้ในอาหารไทยอีกด้วย

ยกตัวอย่างเช่น น้ำมันมะพร้าว ถูกนำมาใช้ทอดและทำขนมหวาน ส่วนตัวเนื้อมะพร้าวขูดแห้งมักถูกโรยหน้าในขนมหวานและบางครั้งก็ใช้ตกแต่งอาหารคาว

ความหลากหลายทางผลิตภัณฑ์จากมะพร้าวตรงนี้เอง เป็นสิ่งสะท้อนถึงความสำคัญของมะพร้าวที่ฝังรากลึกในวัฒนธรรมอาหารไทย ได้เป็นอย่างดี 🥥🌴🇹🇭

Guide to Candle Making at Home

Learning to make candles is a pleasant way to add warmth, aroma, and personal flair to your living spaces at a time when handcrafted and personalized design is more appealing than ever. Making your own candles at home is not just a fun pastime, but an artistic endeavour that may help you relax with the peaceful flicker of a handmade candle or give loved ones a token of your creativity and heart. With the help of this beginner candle-making tutorial, you will learn all the fundamentals of candle-making and become an expert candle maker from the comfort of your own home.

Getting Started: The Basics of Candle Making

Candle-making combines simplicity and creativity, allowing you to customize everything from the scent to colour to shape. The basic supplies you need include:

Wax: The soul of your candle. Soy wax is popular for its clean burn and environmental friendliness, while beeswax enchants with its natural, sweet fragrance and air-purifying qualities.

Wicks: The heart of your candle. Cotton wicks are a go-to for a steady burn, crucial for an evenly melting candle.

Fragrance Oils: The personality of your candle. Essential oils or specially designed candle fragrances allow you to tailor your candle to any mood or preference.

Containers: The body of your candle. From sleek glass jars to rustic ceramic pots, your container says as much about your candle as the fragrance does.

Melting Pot: A double boiler or a dedicated melting pot for wax.

Thermometer: To monitor the wax temperature, ensuring it's perfect for adding fragrance.

Colour Dyes: Optional, if you wish to add a splash of colour to your candles.

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Candles at Home

Preparing Your Workspace Make sure everything in your office is tidy and nothing you don't require. Making candles may get messy, so having a designated area is ideal. Cover your work surface with old towels, newspapers, or craft paper. This helps to prevent spills and drips of wax and facilitates cleanup. Arrange all of your supplies and equipment so they are accessible. Included in this are your thermometer, double boiler, container, wick, fragrance oil, and any colouring agents you intend to employ.

Melting the Wax Put the water in the bottom pot of your double boiler on the stove. Fill the top pot with the wax and slowly melt it over medium heat. Check the wax's temperature with a thermometer. The best temperature to add fragrance to soy wax is about 185°F. Burning or evaporating the fragrance oil in the wax might result from overheating.

Adding Fragrance and Colour After the wax reaches the proper temperature, take it off the burner and allow it to cool for a short while. By doing this, the fragrance oil is kept from vanishing too soon. Add your fragrance oil and stir until well combined. As a general rule, one ounce of fragrance should be added to one pound of wax, but pay attention to the directions on the fragrance oil. Now is the time to add dye, if using. Solid dye chips can also be used, but liquid dye blends more smoothly. Add little by little and stir until the desired colour is reached.

Securing the Wick Dip the base of your wick in the melted wax, then quickly adhere it to the bottom centre of your container. This helps keep it in place. To keep the wick centred and upright as the wax cools, place a pencil, chopstick, or skewer across the top of the container and wrap or clip the top of the wick to it.

Pouring the Wax Ensure the wax is around 135°F to 145°F before pouring — this temperature range helps prevent cracking and ensures a smooth surface. Gently pour the wax into the container, leaving about half an inch at the top. Pouring too quickly can create air bubbles.

Cooling and Curing Let the candle cool to room temperature, out of the direct sunlight and drafts. This may require up to a whole day, contingent upon the candle's dimensions. Reheat the remaining wax and slowly pour it over the surface to even it out if a sinkhole appears close to the wick. Cover the candle and allow it to cure for a minimum of 48 hours after it has completely cooled. Curing enhances the perfume by allowing the fragrance oils to completely bind with the wax.

Finishing Touches Trim the wick to about ¼ inch above the wax. This helps ensure an even burn and prevents the flame from getting too large. Use warm, soapy water to clean your tools. Wax is easier to clean while it's still slightly warm.

Why Make Your Own Candles?

Beyond the satisfaction of creating something beautiful, making your own candles allows you to control the quality of the ingredients, ensuring they are environmentally friendly and safe to burn in your home. It's also a wonderful way to personalise candle gifts to friends and family, infusing them with your personal touch and affection.

Ready, Set, Create!

Candle-making is not just an activity; it's a way to personalize your space, create meaningful gifts, and enjoy the tranquillity of crafting something beautiful and functional. With the basics down, you’re ready to embark on a journey of creativity and relaxation, making your own candles at home with ease and confidence.
