Whether you're celebrating a festival, hosting a gathering, or simply craving a quick snack, Peanut Burfi is a versatile treat that fits every occasion. In this blog, we'll explore why Peanut Burfi is the go-to snack for any event and why Adya Organics' Peanut Burfi stands out for its quality and authenticity.

A Traditional Sweet for Festive Celebrations

In India, festivals are incomplete without traditional sweets, and Peanut Burfi has become a favorite during festive times like Diwali, Holi, and Raksha Bandhan. Its rich texture and wholesome ingredients make it a perfect offering to guests and a delightful addition to festive platters. The combination of roasted peanuts and jaggery not only satisfies the sweet tooth but also brings a touch of nostalgia, as many families have passed down the recipe through generations.

Adya Organics' Peanut Burfi captures this essence beautifully, using organic ingredients that enhance the traditional flavors while ensuring a healthier, more authentic experience. The use of natural jaggery instead of refined sugar and high-quality peanuts creates a delicious and wholesome sweet perfect for any festive occasion.

A Quick and Nutritious Snack for Everyday Cravings

Beyond festivals, Peanut Burfi is an excellent snack for everyday indulgence. Its simple ingredients—peanuts, jaggery, and ghee—make it a nutritious choice for those looking for a quick energy boost. Peanuts are a rich source of protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients, making Peanut Burfi a smart option for a pre- or post-workout snack. The natural sweetness from jaggery not only satisfies cravings but also provides antioxidants and minerals, contributing to overall health.

For busy professionals or students, Peanut Burfi serves as a convenient snack to keep on hand. It's easy to carry and doesn’t spoil quickly, making it a perfect companion during work breaks, study sessions, or when you're on the go.

When served at events, it not only delights guests but also reflects a commitment to quality and natural goodness, making it a thoughtful choice for health-conscious hosts.

A Healthy and Guilt-Free Dessert

In a world where desserts are often loaded with refined sugar and unhealthy fats, Peanut Burfi stands out as a healthier option. By using jaggery, a natural sweetener, and ghee, a traditional Indian clarified butter known for its health benefits, Peanut Burfi provides a guilt-free indulgence. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy something sweet without compromising on nutrition, and it’s suitable for people of all ages.

Whether you’re following a specific diet or just trying to make healthier choices, Peanut Burfi fits right into your plan. It’s gluten-free, vegetarian, and can be adapted to be vegan, making it a versatile dessert for those with dietary restrictions.

How to organize your grimoire [upg]

Putting Together Your Grimoire/Book of Shadows

Over my time putting together my grimoire, I’ve seen a lot of different people put together their lists of “everything you need in your grimoire”. While I don’t believe that everyone needs to write a world-renowned magical encyclopedia (see the linked post below by @queer-tech-seer), I do want everyone to have a good idea of where to put the information that they do put in their grimoire.

See this post for how I organize my grimoire

Firstly, you need an introduction section. This goes at the beginning of the book and can include things like:

your devotion to the craft

a short daily mantra

a quick list of your most-accessed info

name the kinds of crafts you practice and focus on

your code of conduct/ethics

a protection spell

your zodiac signs, life number, and tarot card

Second, you need info about your craft. This can be anything like:

lunar magick

nature/green magick

hearth magick

urban magick

crystal magick

You may also want to include activities/interests for each type of magick.

If you’re interested in crystal magick, you should check out my Witchy Boxes! @moonstone-magick

Third, you need your recipes.

spell jars

food and drinks

incense + burn sticks

sachets

even crystal grid patterns, anything with steps!

This post has a few of my favorite recipes

Fourth, you need rituals.

blessings

cleansings

prayers

energy work

sigil spells

Fifth, put any information about the kinds of divination you practice, if any.

tarot

omens

numerology

tasseomancy

cartomancy

psychic abilities

I usually write hedge-riding/astral travel also in this section.

Sixth, write your beliefs.

What specific beliefs you subscribe to

What deities you honor/work with (if any)

Your worldviews

Your thoughts about the creation or the afterlife

And that’s basically it!

Farewell and good tides! 💜

The student-led startup from Nigeria recycles plastic sachets into paint, and adds an organic insect repellent to fight malaria.

[feiandart]

"Oh dear, it's sticky!" "What did you expect? It must be glued to your face, Aziraphale." "Yes, but it feels awful... Oh, no, no, take it off -" "What a fuss you're making! Come on, stay still, I promise it will be worth it." Sitting astride Aziraphale's thighs, Anthony fights with the Lord to apply a milky green mask to his face. It takes a few minutes between reassurances and insistence, but in the end the redhead emerges victorious: to his great satisfaction, Aziraphale seems to relax under the refreshing sensation of the devilry he has agreed to try. From Anthony's point of view, however, the Lord is just funny with his curly hair pulled back by a headband and his face covered by the green mask, he almost looks like an alien. Although he restrains himself, the artist cannot help but burst out laughing. "What?" Aziraphale opens his eyes, alarmed. "Oh God, I look ridiculous, don't I?" "You're adorable," Anthony chuckles, rising just enough to kiss his head through the headband, "just a little funny, but that's normal. It's part of the process." "Don't take the opportunity to laugh at me, though..." Sulks the Lord. "I don't laugh at you. I laugh with you!" Solemnly announces the redhead, reaching into the bathroom cabinet to retrieve a sachet containing a second mask. "Wait till you see me with this stuff on my face. I'm about to make your day!" Anthony is proud to have kept his word when, after taking a couple of funny pictures with his phone a few minutes later, the bathroom is filled with Aziraphale's happy, carefree laughter. And it's his new favourite sound.

Gluten-Free Kuttu Atta: A Nutritious and Versatile Flour for Healthy Living

Kuttu Atta, also known as buckwheat flour, is a traditional ingredient widely used in Indian cuisine, particularly during fasting periods like Navratri. Although it’s called “buckwheat,” it’s not related to wheat at all. In fact, Kuttu Atta is naturally gluten-free, making it a fantastic option for those with gluten sensitivities or anyone looking to incorporate healthier alternatives into their diet. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits, uses, and versatility of Gluten-Free Kuttu Atta.

The Nutritional Benefits of Gluten-Free Kuttu Atta

Kuttu Atta is packed with nutrients, making it an ideal choice for health-conscious individuals. Some of its key benefits include:

Rich in Protein: Kuttu Atta is an excellent source of plant-based protein, providing essential amino acids that support muscle growth and repair. It’s particularly beneficial for vegetarians and vegans who seek to maintain a balanced protein intake.

High in Fiber: The high fiber content in Kuttu Atta aids in digestion and promotes a healthy gut. Fiber helps maintain a feeling of fullness, making it an excellent choice for those looking to manage their weight.

Low Glycemic Index: Unlike regular wheat flour, Kuttu Atta has a low glycemic index, which helps stabilize blood sugar levels. This makes it an ideal option for those with diabetes or anyone trying to manage blood sugar spikes.

Rich in Antioxidants: Kuttu Atta is rich in antioxidants, particularly rutin, which is known to promote cardiovascular health and reduce inflammation. Antioxidants also help fight free radicals, protecting the body from oxidative stress.

Packed with Vitamins and Minerals: Kuttu Atta is a good source of essential vitamins like B-complex and minerals such as magnesium, iron, and zinc. These nutrients play a crucial role in boosting immunity, enhancing energy levels, and maintaining overall health.

Versatile Uses of Gluten-Free Kuttu Atta in Indian Cooking

Gluten-Free Kuttu Atta isn’t just nutritious; it’s also incredibly versatile. Its slightly nutty flavor makes it a great addition to a variety of dishes, from traditional Indian recipes to modern, healthy alternatives.

Kuttu Ka Paratha: One of the most popular dishes made from Kuttu Atta is Kuttu Ka Paratha. This flatbread is perfect for fasting days during Navratri but can also be enjoyed as a gluten-free alternative to regular parathas. Pair it with yogurt or aloo sabzi for a wholesome, delicious meal.

Kuttu Pakoras: Crispy, deep-fried Kuttu Pakoras are a delightful snack during fasting periods. By mixing Kuttu Atta with vegetables like spinach or potatoes, you can create a flavorful, gluten-free snack that’s perfect for tea time.

Kuttu Atta Pancakes: For a healthy breakfast option, try making Kuttu Atta pancakes. Combine Kuttu flour with mashed bananas, yogurt, and a pinch of cinnamon for a nutritious and delicious start to your day. These gluten-free pancakes are not only tasty but also provide long-lasting energy.

Gluten-Free Chapatis: Kuttu Atta can be used to make chapatis or rotis for those who are gluten intolerant. While the texture may be slightly different from traditional wheat chapatis, Kuttu Atta rotis are a great way to enjoy an Indian staple without compromising health.

Incorporating Gluten-Free Kuttu Atta into a Modern Diet

While Kuttu Atta is traditionally used during fasting periods, its benefits extend beyond these occasions, making it a valuable addition to everyday meals. For those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, Kuttu Atta offers a nutritious alternative to wheat flour, allowing them to enjoy a variety of dishes without worry. Even if you’re not avoiding gluten, incorporating Kuttu Atta into your diet can enhance your nutrient intake and add a unique flavor profile to your meals.

You can also experiment with Kuttu Atta in baking. Use it to make gluten-free muffins, bread, or even cookies. Its high nutritional value and versatility allow you to create healthy snacks and meals that are both delicious and satisfying.

Choosing the Best Gluten-Free Kuttu Atta

When selecting Kuttu Atta, it’s essential to choose a high-quality, organic product to ensure you’re getting all the benefits without any harmful additives. Adya Organics’ Kuttu Atta is an excellent option, as it is 100% pure and natural, sourced from the finest buckwheat grains. This ensures that you get a gluten-free product that retains all its nutritional goodness, making it a valuable addition to your pantry.

Gluten-Free Kuttu Atta is more than just a fasting staple; it’s a powerhouse of nutrition that offers a wide range of culinary possibilities. From traditional Indian dishes like Kuttu Ka Paratha to modern twists like gluten-free pancakes, this versatile flour allows you to enjoy nutritious, delicious meals without compromising on health. Whether you have gluten sensitivities or are simply looking for a healthy alternative to wheat flour, Kuttu Atta is a must-try. Embrace the benefits of this ancient superfood and discover new ways to incorporate it into your diet today!

Oof ok (sorry if it's not much 😭)

Sskk:

Atsushi asks Yosano for cough drops and herbal teas that will help Akutagawa's condition.

Akutagawa keeps a sachet of catnip on his person. Atsushi has no idea why he smells so good and Akutagawa thinks it's hilarious.

Akutagawa can't get the image of Atsushi in his coat out of his mind and will constantly try to get him to wear it.

Atsushi asks Gin for present ideas and she's all too happy to help him. Akutagawa is confused as to how Atsushi seems to know everything about his likes and dislikes and tries to get him the most expensive things just to out do Atsushi.

Akutagawa has used a spray bottle on Atsushi in tiger form just once. Atsushi used his coat as a scratching post. They called it even.

When one of them is having a ptsd episode the other will recount dumb things their respective organization has done until they're both laughing. They have plenty of material.

Skk:

Lupin is under the Port Mafia's protection which makes sense but no one at the agency knows why Old World is under their protection. Dazai refuses to elaborate. Chuuya has no idea.

Chuuya sleep walks. Dazai doesn't sleep or sleeps inconsistently. So many of his nights are spent following Chuuya around and trying to mess with him. Kouyou catches on and chases him out after Dazai's ADA days. Dazai still sneaks in once in a while.

They have a joint account from Dazai's mafia days. Chuuya knew Dazai was alive after he left by keeping an eye on the account. Even now he won't close it just in case Dazai needs money.

Chuuya's local winery stopped making his favorite wine. Someone bought all the remaining bottles before he could. One shows up yearly on his birthday.

Chuuya has bandages and medical supplies everywhere. His car, his apartment, stashed in his coat. Most of the Port Mafia thinks it's just because he's battle ready, but really he's prepared for Dazai's next slip-n-slide attempt.

When Dazai visits Oda and when Chuuya visits the Flags the other keeps an eye on them knowing it's one of the only times they let their guard down.

How I've put together my grimoire...

I'm honestly so proud of my grimoire and I wanted to share a bit of how I've organized it! I'm still always adding more to it, but here's a quick post on its structure and usage.

1. Table of contents.

I've structured my grimoire to have two tables of contents. Contents A contains all the info, while Contents B contains my own crafted spells, and some borrowed from other sources.

For info in Contents A:

▪︎crystal correspondences and care

▪︎tarot/oracle/card spreads & readings

▪︎deity info

▪︎herb & plant correspondences

▪︎Sabbats & wheel of the year

▪︎color associations

▪︎new & full moon activities

》 Contents A is on a separate page from Contents B.

》 Contents A is within the first half of the notebook, while Contents B is in the last half.

Here's a couple examples:

1A. Color correspondences.

27A. Bastet info

1B. Restful Nights Sleep Sachet

2. References for more detailed info.

In the last page of my grimoire, I've written a little disclaimer for referring to my detailed "metaphysical-stuff" journal. In this separate journal, I have detailed information I've collected. Some of the info includes Shintoism, Slavic Paganism, and Kemeticism. This separate journal contains several pages worth of information and notes which I couldn't easily fit into my main grimoire.

In the separate, more detailed journal, I've also included a table of contents, though it's less involved than my grimoire's.

3. Index.

It hasn't been created yet, but I plan to include an index in my grimoire. I want this to contain keywords and where to find them within the book.

I hope this inspires you to create your own grimoire! You can do so much with it, and I've only scratched the surface with how I've structured mine.

Bright blessings!

Summary:

It’s smooth and languorous - the lazy, can’t-get-enough-of-you motion - and the filthy curses that tumble from the other man’s lips are like the sweetest ambrosia; filling him with elation that everything he’s spent decades repressing is not only free, but accepted. Wanted and encouraged.

He’d drifted off to the cicadas’ serenade. Left arm jammed under Elio’s pillow to enfold his willowy chest. Right draped over the concave angle of his bony hip; cradling his flaccid cock within his palm. Too tired to clean up properly, the supple organ remained sticky from Oliver’s mouth; a thin veneer of saliva and spend he’d been remiss in swallowing. But far from being unpleasant, the tactile reminder only fueled his protective instinct as he sheltered the vulnerable flesh. The intimacy - the unspoken trust and vulnerability, therein - speaking volumes to the depth of their connection. 

Silly, maybe, but no less true, and when Oliver blinks awake an indeterminate number of hours later, it only takes a moment for his muddled thoughts to register that the cock in question is now curved thickly towards Elio’s navel; engorged with blood, and leaking copiously from the spongy tip.

Three days, he’s been back in B. Three days of comparative bliss with the man who makes him feel complete. He’d like to think they’ve conducted themselves with a modicum of restraint - Annella’s affectionate eyerolls and mentions of adolescenti ormonali aside - yet the inherent heat of Elio’s erection proves a powerful aphrodisiac when Oliver slides his hand northwards; knuckles skimming his gently rising rib cage as he buries his nose in the chestnut curls at his nape. Chasing the sun-kissed freckles with nipping little kisses until he reaches the hummingbird pulse at his slender throat, where a rasping swath of his tongue has Elio jerking alert like he’s been electrocuted; panting and desperate for more.  

Oliver’s heart gives a kick - how did he ever survive twenty years without this? - but it’s only when Elio grinds his ass into his own burgeoning semi that he returns his fingertips to their ultimate goal; encircling his velvety shaft with a series of firm, unhurried strokes. Following the prominent vein on the underside. Thumbing the circumcision scar beneath the glans. 

He’s so focused on his maestro’s pleasure, in fact, that he only acknowledges the promise of his own arousal once Elio glances over his shoulder, heavy-lidded eyes dancing with flecks of gold as he fumbles a sachet of lube from the bedside cabinet. Begs him to fuck his slicked-up thigh muscles and finish what they’d started before three glasses of Dolcetto d’Alba and a second helping of Mafalda’s semifreddo put paid to the previous night’s endeavors.

Naturally, it’s all the enticement he needs. Elio’s wish is his command, after all, and there’s nothing he won’t do to earn his smiles. His benevolence. The privilege of witnessing his life up close: no longer endured in parallel.

“Non fermarti…”

“I won’t.”

“Ancora… more, per favore,” Elio murmurs - hoarse with sleep and anticipation - so Oliver moulds them belly-to-spine as he seeks a better angle; groaning out loud when his oversensitive length grazes the coarse fuzz of his lover’s scrotum with every forward thrust.

It’s smooth and languorous - the lazy, can’t-get-enough-of-you motion - and the filthy curses that tumble from the other man’s lips are like the sweetest ambrosia; filling him with elation that everything he’s spent decades repressing is not only free, but accepted. 

Wanted and encouraged.

Just how Elio renders his name an obscenity is a mystery in itself, but clasping a handful of sweat-damp hair he trembles in his tailored embrace, the tight clench of his hamstrings tipping Oliver over the edge as he breaks - shatters - cries out to glory, the pair of them panting like they’ve each run a marathon in the burnished light of dawn.

Elysia being another “picked up by an orphanage” girl makes me wanna rewrite her backstory too so I’m gonna do that.

Instead of being found by someone who would take her to an orphanage she’s found by a wanderer and she was no where near civilization. The wanderer teaches her whatever they know, from trade to the places they’ve visited. She travels with them for most of her life, she was like a daughter to them, one who always stuck close and hardly talked to anyone, even the wanderer who took her in.

(Just because she hardly speaks doesn’t mean she doesn’t know how or can’t, she’s just unwilling.)

One day they stop by a town and in that town she overhears some people asking for help, they were recruiting new members into their organization, the MOTHS. She stared off as they continued their speech, preaching to anyone who would dare to listen, one of them hands her a flyer which she takes with her on her way back to the wanderer.

She tells them of the speech that she heard, the wanderer tells her that those from the MOTH were spouting bogus and that she shouldn’t believe those people, there is no danger called “honkai” and that they were safe. Despite that she still persisted and hoped that her guardian would change their mind, maybe not now but perhaps one day. She hid the flyer in her sachet so that she wouldn’t lose it or forget it somewhere.

On their last day there she decided to join the MOTHS organization, she thought that it would be a great opportunity for her to finally do something about the world. So she went up to the wanderer to tell them her decision, that they would part ways here so she could join an organization that they thought was shrouded and suspicious. She thought that they wouldn't let her go and that she would be traveling with them forever but after a couple words they came to an agreement and they let her go.

After parting with her wanderer guardian she heads to the place the MOTHS decided to stay at. They didn't have a permanent stay in this town so she had limited to time to choose, she can't back down now. She gets signed up and they take her to their main headquarters where they give her the surgery. There she meets Dr. Mobius who gives her brief explanation of how this operation will proceed and then they begin the surgery.
