honey harvest

[moriibun]

harvest moon animal parade style for my harvest goddess of my spring themed town,

Petal Town! ✿

also her harvest sprites! they all have pet names ♡ Sugar is obviously the first one the farmer meets hehe ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

bonus pic of when i sketched her + doodle of her with her older brother, Aki, from Hoshizora Village (fall themed town owned by my friend) !!!

some extra info!!!

shes a bit weird and eccentric, and has a habit of repeating words.... "hey, hey! You're the farmer, yes? You care for the crops, yes? so noble!!"

she also is a bit gullible, esp when coming to humans, so her older siblings like to trick her >__>

to the villagers in Petal Town who have met her before (mostly elderly villagers) her name is Bonnie (teehee get it) rather than just "Harvest Goddess" ༘⋆✿

Bonnie is the youngest of her siblings, who are the harvest gods of other seasonal themed towns made by my friends~~ 𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼𓋼𖤣𖥧𓋼𓍊

the other towns are summer, fall and winter themed! spring - winter is youngest - oldest ( ˶°ㅁ°) !!

Ringless honey mushroom 》 Armillaria tabescens

A historic day! My first time harvesting mushrooms with the intent to consume!

I've gotten to know the fungi in this park well, and there are at least two armillaria that have been sprouting honey mushroom in two particular spots for a couple of autumns now. I felt familiar enough with them to partake and they were very gracious in allowing me to do so.

For my first time eating wild foraged mushrooms, I pan fried them with red onion and added them to some pierogi. Delicious!

[writhe]

went to a beautiful garden party and had a very uhhh homoerotic experience wrestling except for i either think that, like, everyone there was very into it or i’m really bad at reading vibes

[kinokoshoujoart]

scribbled down a relationship chart for the forgotten valley bros to collect my thoughts after snooping into their dialogue files, because i’m crazy over the barebones scraps of tiny interactions between them that we are given they’re a neat group of lads and i want to see them in lots of wacky situations together

rambling explanation and screenshots under the cut. spoilers for dialogue

gordy and gustafa are bffs and i love them!!!!!

they have mutual respect for each other… gustafa clearly admires and understands gordy’s art, and gordy seems to view gustafa as his closest confidant, he even gets you and Gustafa the new kitchen if you enter chapter 2 without being able to “afford” it yourself

they only really mention each other and don’t have anything to say about the other two boys

no one has anything bad to say about gustafa, which is exactly how it should be. blessed bard. it’s extra sweet to me that he’s the most well-liked bachelor both in and out of the game given one of the npc gossip lines your son can tell you— he grew up without many friends (in the original game the secret was that he was bullied). he deserves all the happiness in the world

matt opinions

matt shares his Opinions (slander) on gordy and rock specifically if you show him your kid with them, but has no slander for gustafa… his line for gustafa is instead just copied from what he says about the bachelorettes’ kids. so i count that as a gustafa win

i had to stretch to find any mention of gustafa by matt, the closest thing is that he comments that he doesn’t usually go to the starlight concert

i want gustafa and matt to interact!!! i want gustafa to give matt a tomato when he’s being gruff like he did with nami (matt: “th-thank you…..*blush* i already have ten billion of these”) matt also has lines about farm work being easier when you’ve got music accompanying you if you show him a record so i’ll count that as a very flimsy positive connection (matt IS friendly with gavin, due to frequenting the bluebird café, but is a bit reticent to make friends on his own)

rock opinions and social diseases

rock is extremely excited about hearing gustafa play music and calls him a wizard at the guitar and says he never gets tired of hearing him play. he also likes wandering over to gustafa’s yurt and listening to his music along with tei on market days (his most normal bachelor to bachelor interaction)

the only guy who gets no positive comment from rock is matt, instead rock goes to town roasting him in his fourth heart event out of envy for a completely imaginary situation and argues that he’s worth a hundred matthew’s (source?). he also likes to go into the already crowded farmhouse at night on market days and make it even more cramped, but he usually leaves right before matt gets home

finally rock has what i can only describe as a really odd one-sided crush on gordy!! he meanders into gordy’s trailer at 12:45 AM (AM) every market day and loudly, obliviously asks why there’s so much “trash” everywhere (you’re the trash, rock!!!!!!). thankfully rock is quite literally beneath gordy’s notice, however this seems to make rock sad and he tries to come up with wacky stunts to get gordy’s attention like drawing on gordy’s face and… holding his breath? (maybe, i dunno WHERE that dialogue triggers). he has a line celebrating gordy finally noticing him, i’m not sure what causes it though (for his part, gordy has no lines referencing rock)

finally, if you show rock your kid he will tease them by bragging that he was waaaay cuter at their age… but ONLY if it’s a bachelor’s child. rock your complex is so obvious that it’s more of a simple

in summary,

rock seems to think highly of each of the guys (except matt), unfortunately this manifests in him making really odd attempts to barge into their houses at strange hours and by trying to assert dominance in annoying ways. thankfully no one really notices anything he does (except matt)

matt doesn’t generally say nice things about anyone except cecilia (which makes the nice things he says, like about nina, more meaningful…) so unsurprisingly he has nothing nice to say about any of the guys, but he doesn’t have anything negative to say about gustafa. however he seems to want friends to do stuff with (he complains about how no one in the valley wants to go swimming…..hhhgg i am desperate to force rock and matt to spend time together. a friendship where you can’t stand each other but you’re the only two people who enjoy doing the same hobby so you put your differences aside and splash around in the water) like with rock no one really seems aware of matt’s existence except rock who is Extrwmely Aware to the point of knowing about matt’s crush on ceci, but unlike rock matt is not exactly jumping at the chance to go socialize with others

gustafa and gordy are friends with each other (and also both are friends with nami) and they support each others ambitions. i have no source but i’m confident that when gustafa visits gordy he’s also bringing him water and soup (he also visits daryl so i think it’s cool and fun if gustafa drops in on the local lost-in-thought creative hermits with hydration reminders and care packages)

October 2024: Curbside Find, Harvests & Early Voting

I found this firepit on the curb while dog walking:

Refurbished after a good cleaning & few coats of heat resistant paint:

Thursday harvest:

Friday harvest:

We're going to try overwintering pepper plants indoors again:

Saturday harvest:

Our ginger is starting to bud:

Old & new Chrysanthemums that we transplanted to these pots:

The bees of Saturday:

The Red Menace enjoying the sun:

The front yard volunteer cucumbers have slowed a bit but are still producing:

We got our early vote on Saturday. In addition to the elections, there were several referendums to amend The City's charter. One of the referendums, No. 5908, related to 3 amendments aimed at curbing gun violence in the city. The Republican-controlled state house and senate fought to have those referendums kept off the ballot and, when they lost in court, they withheld state tax revenue funds due to the city.

As is our tradition, we made a date out of it by going to a restaurant afterwards:

Me back at the house:

good god girl, maybe some of us are not vegan because we eat chicken like once in three months?? Would reduction not be a more productive goal of vegan activism than outright banning? Like if your arguments are that animals are being eaten, then you’re being unrealistic about the entire actual concept of the food chain. Humans are omnivores, you do not need to change that to achieve your goals.

A vegan lifestyle is also entirely the product of your geographical location. If you live somewhere that shit does not grow, what are you going to do?? I just think about the difference between food options in India and Canada, for example. India: between the tropics (tropics and equator even, in fact). All-year-round sun, there’s pretty much always stuff growing. Different kinds of land will mean you can grow everything from staples like rice and wheat to vegetables, fruits and plantation crops. It’s reflected in the cuisines: Indian food has a much, much wider offering of vegetarian food, and many more Indians have restricted diets that more or less overlap with vegetarianism. Because crops grows. Locally.

Canada. Harvest in the fall, from November to March, your fields are practically unusable. Compare the prices of fresh produce in (and now I’m being generous to give you a highly populated, non-remote province here for an example) Ontario. Ontario has farms where in the fall you get fresh autumn vegetables and fruits. You’ll also get them in larger quantities. It is way cheaper, fresher and also uses less energy and fuel to transport the vegetables like 50 km from farm to market.

Come the winter and nothing grows. If you look at most vegetables you’ll find on store shelves in December or February, and most of it is either imported from warmer regions of the US (often the case for chains that are in both countries) or from South American countries (sometimes SA -> USA -> Canada). The importing has to go through cross-country customs, had to be driven for days, is less fresh or rich in nutrients by the time you get it, and is more expensive. Of course. And we all come out of it poorer. Is it any wonder why people will eat meat? We’re even talking here about a place like Ontario, very well connected on North American trade routes. Can you justify someone in Yukon deciding to eat meat over a $17/lb. green veg? Be for fucking real…

There simply cannot be a blanket-global solution to animal products. You’ve got to work with what your geography has to offer. It’s the same thing we say when we say that avocados have an environmental cost when you expect them to be available year-round in places they don’t grow. We encourage people to go for more local produce there, and I think the same should go for all parts of your diet too. If your animals are local, then their footprint is lower than importing kiwis from New Zealand to the US. I don’t see how that’s hard to understand.

Apple and Nut Parcels

These Apple and Nut Parcels, filled with deliciously Autumnal flavours, make a beautifully seasonal dessert to end your Sunday Lunch. Have a good one, friends!

Ingredients (serves 3):

5 medium Ribston Pippin apples, rinsed

1 teaspoon Mixed Spice

1 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 heaped tablespoon good Chestnut Honey

1/4 cup pecans

1/4 cup hazelnuts

6 brik pastry circle (paper thin Tunisian pastry discs resembling filo)

6 tablespoons good Chestnut Honey

Peel, core and dice Ribston Pippin apples, and place apple dices into a medium bowl. Sprinkle with Mixed Spice, tossing well to coat; set aside.

In a small saucepan, melt butter over a low flame. Once melted, remove from the heat, and stir in Chestnut Honey. Set aside.

In a small frying pan over a high flame, toast pecans and hazelnuts until just browned and fragrant. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, before chopping the nuts roughly.

Preheat oven to 180°C/°F.

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Set aside.

Lay a brik pastry circle onto your work surface. Brush generously all over with Honey butter. Lay a second brik circle on top, pressing gently.

Spoon a cup of the spiced apple dices in the centre of the pastry disc. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and walnuts, drizzle genenrously with 2 tablespoons Chestnut Honey, and wrap the pastry to form a parcel. Place it onto prepared baking tray, seam and edges down.

Repeat with remaining brik pastry circles, spiced apple dices, chopped nuts and Honey, saving a few of the chopped nuts, until you have three beautiful parcels.

Brush them with a little of the Honey butter, and place baking tray in the middle of the hot oven. Bake, at 180°C/360°F, 20 to 25 minutes, until a nice golden brown colour.

Remove from the oven, and brush parcels with remaining Honey butter.

Serve Apple and Nut Parcels hot, sprinkled with chopped pecans and hazelnuts.
