The first batch of slip-trailed stoneware crocks I worked on at my job have made it out of the salt kiln! The potters made the vessels on the wheel and handed them off to me to design!

Speaking of which, my executive function theft post is approaching 15,000 notes and no one has commented on me describing the property manager as being "menaced by the skull" yet so idk if they're all taking it in stride or if nobody's reading the whole thing.

Can you do a prompt similar to "menagerie of pets" except the beasts are pet owners while the ancients are pets?

ANSWERED PROMPT #3

Shadow milk pouts as animal before him whines and tries to bury itself back in the corner. “Come on vanilly~, why you gotta do me this way..” He whines as he turns back around. Mystic flour looked slightly ruffled and by the growling coming from the nearby cage. Inside of it was a great dane with a deep brown mixed with some lightly shades of purple and a ting of gray coming through.

Shadow coos at the great dane, “hello there dark cacao, ooo yes you- ouch!” He pulls his fingers back from the cage as dark cacao barely nibbles him. Shadow milk glares at the dog and then turns to face mystic flour and frantically motions to the caged dog, “hey! Why’d he bite me!?” 

Mystic flour only raises an eyebrow, “..hes broody, all five of his pups are getting checked up and I have no doubt that he’s picking on one or more of them whining.” Shadow milk grumbles and sees his pet deer curled up in the corner again. “..come on pure vanilla, really?” Shadow milk huffs and then bursts out laughing as burning spice comes out with his bird cage and looking extremely ruffled, “wh-ahah, happened to you?”

Burning spice glares at him, “Golden Cheeses wings needed to be trimmed, again.” Shadow milk goes silent. It hadn’t been the first time since burning spice had brought this up- every since… the incident, golden cheese wings have never healed.. Right.

They all knew burning spice blamed himself.. Deeply.

Burning spice sits down on the couch as he carefully sets the bird cage with a sleeping yellow cardinal lay inside with a bandaged wing. Its silent until salt stepped out. In the terrarium he held was his orchid mantis. He passed a thumbs. Which was a relief. Shadow milk chuckles, “Girls getting big, welp, I better get Pure vanilla ready to go, his turn is soon.” At the mention of the deer- they all pause and look over at the corner where… pure vanilla wasn’t anymore.

Shadow milks head immediately swirls around to spot pure vanilla with his body half way out the window. “OH NO YOU DON’T! NOT AGAIN!” before rushing off to his deer.

Mystic only chuckles as burning spice gets up to help, followed by salt setting his terrarium for white lily down and following over. A few moments later of the boys trying to get pure vanilla out from the window, out came Eternal sugar with her albino turtle, hollyberry. She stares at the scene of shadow milk trying to drag his pet deer in by its butt while the other two try to nudge its front inside.

She looks down at her turtle, “Look at the shit we deal with hollyberry.”

The call out “Language” from the three speaking members of their friend group was completely unneeded.

Shennigans, nothing but shennigans.

Lord Blazing Skies and Heart Throb

A young lord from the Princedoms of Pegasi and his personal tailor.

Lord Blazing Skies (or just simply Blaze) is the youngest of a very large noble family, making it a bit hard for him to stand out against his many successful brothers and sisters. Leaving him to come to New Dawn, to make a name for himself and to give his family the first dibs on any new land that will most certainly be up for grabs. He's a bit hawty, and vain, but he is a good buck at heart.

Heart Throb, on the other hoof, was one of the few staff that Blaze was allowed to take (along with a cook, and a butler), she came mostly of her own accord, but was considered the best for the job. While most Alo know how to sew (it's kind of important) being able to tailor clothing for other Alo's bodies and needs is a talent most others don't have. Dear Heart, however, does. She's a very meek doe, but isn't afraid to tell you what's what if it's necessary.

Two more wonderful candidates for the Heart of the Hero, as they shall make for a trusting and kind heart.

There’s a lot to unpack in the way that the Confederate-monuments-are-awesome brand of southerner equates “Yankee (derogatory)” with “urban” - as in you could probably write a thesis about it, and somebody probably has - but as a person who grew up in some pretty rural towns in the northeast US it’s also just funny. The number of absolutely nonsensical conversations where Person A goes “hey that’s kinda racist” and Person B goes “Oh yeah YANKEE? Bet you’re from NEW YORK CITY!” as if this isn’t an absurd non sequitur. Like in the first place I don’t accept that being from NYC invalidates someone’s opinion but in the second place plenty of Yankees also drive tractors and eat venison and grow up catching cray(w)fish in the creek buddy, you aren’t even the tiniest bit special

These little shakers were a perfect find while we were in the small town of french lick for our anniversary. They state they are from "Indian City, USA" Whice i've never heard of and am unsure where or what that was but I just adored the saying on the front as well as the real bark!

MR nature deity Kai'El Doodles ft Itri (the deity of fate)

El is very much in her own world a lot. Likes to meet new people and loves to play around and see all the worlds in MultiReality, though the violence that can be witnessed throughout makes them sad, and prefers to not be in the vicinity of civilization.

Kai greatly distastes the space expansion many civilisations are achieving and using to invade other planets and fucking shit up. Kai would like to be carefree as Kai'El used to be, but now has coped by giving in to engaging in being a lil trickster like Nix, and the two got along for a while. Unfortunately, due to Nix messing with the mystics and encouraging the chaos between the shadows and mystics which is the space race nonsense Kai'El hates, their relationship has been in shambles.

In recent times, Kai'El's vindictive tendencies in, accidentally or not, causing natural disasters have been in an all time high. Itri and Kai'El have been clashing more than ever due to all the tension. Raguel does her best to mediate, but they're all barely keeping it together

Venison Stew

On this very chill Sunday, I am warming up in the kitchen, stirring and steaming my Christmas Pudding, and cooking this mouth-watering Venison Stew. I used to eat game often enough, when visiting my grandparents in Autumn and Winter, when I was a child. And I had missed the hearty, earthy flavour of venison. Thus, I was happy to find deer meat at the butcher's the other day. This comforting Venison Stew brought as much gastronomic pleasure as it did fond memories. Happy Sunday!

Ingredients (serves 3):

2 slices Speck ham

1 tablespoon olive oil

half a large onion

2 small garlic cloves

1 tablespoon olive oil

500 grams/1.10 pound venison (deer) stewing meat

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 small turnips, rinsed

4 medium carrots, rinsed

a few sprigs dried thyme

2 large bay leaves

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 tablespoon plain flour

1/4 cup White Port

3/4 cup good, robust red wine (like a Southern France Fronton or a Barossa Valley Shiraz)

1 1/2 cup Beef Broth

1 heaped tablespoon whole-grain mustard

4 tablespoons

Preheat oven to 160°C/32°F.

Heat a large Dutch oven over a high flame.

Once hot, add Speck ham slices, and fry, about 2 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer to a plate. Set aside.

Add olive oil to the Dutch oven. Reduce heat to medium-high.

Thinly slice the onion, and stir into the Dutch oven. Fry, stirring often until softening and browning, about 4 minutes.

Peel garlic cloves, and stir them into the Dutch oven. Cook, 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate as well; set aside.

Heat olive oil in the Dutch oven.

Cut deer meat into large chunks. Add to the Dutch oven, in batches, to brown well, about 4 minutes on each side. Once all the deer chunks are well-browned, transfer them to a plate. Set aside.

Melt butter in the Dutch oven.

Peel and dice turnips. Cut carrots into thick slices. Once the butter is just foaming, stir in turnips and carrots. Add dried thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Cook, stirring often until golden brown. Transfer to the plate with the onions, leaving the fat in the Dutch oven.

Return deer chunks to the Dutch oven, along with their resting juices. Season with coarse sea salt and black pepper. Sprinkle with flour, and cook, stirring well, 1 minute.

Deglaze with White Port and red wine, stirring energetically until sauce thickens.

Roughly chop Speck ham.

Return Speck, along with reserved onion, garlic, turnips and carrots to the Dutch oven.

Stir in Beef Broth and whole-grain mustard. Bring to the boil.

Once boiling, cover with the lid, and place Dutch oven in the middle of the hot oven. Cook at 160°C/320°F, 2 hours. After a couple hours, stir in Quince Paste, and cook, a further 15 minutes, atr 160°C/320°F. (If the venison is not fork tender yet, you can add a bit of water, and cook a tad longer.)

Serve Venison Stew hot, onto Parmesan Polenta, Cheddar Parsnip Mash or Bay Leaf Kūmara Mash.

They wrap all those boxes up in their tail and fling ‘em over to the post office in one fell swoop. That’s why I have to pack everything so carefully. 📦🦓

Do you think the deer came and licked Lot’s wide after Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed?
