Orange Jam with Warm Spices Ingredients: 3 lbs oranges, peeled (about 5 cups puree) 1 cup sugar 1-2 each cinnamon sticks, star anise, and cloves (optional) Directions: Begin by peeling the oranges, ensuring you remove as much of the white pith as possible to prevent bitterness. Puree the peeled oranges using an immersion blender or regular blender until smooth. In a medium saucepan, combine the orange puree, sugar, and optional spices. Simmer the mixture over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 20-30 minutes until the jam thickens. To test the consistency, drop a small amount of jam onto a plate that has been chilled in the freezer. If it holds its shape, the jam is ready. Pour the hot orange jam into prepared, sterilized canning jars. You can either store the jars in the refrigerator or process them in a water bath canner for 10 minutes if you plan to store them long-term. Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes Kcal: 35 kcal per tablespoon | Servings: Makes about 4 cups of jam This Orange Jam with Warm Spices brings the vibrant flavors of fresh oranges together with cozy notes of cinnamon, star anise, and cloves. The sweet and slightly tart citrus is balanced beautifully with the earthy warmth of the spices, making this jam a perfect spread for toast, scones, or even a topping for desserts. What makes this recipe even more special is its versatility. You can store it in your fridge for daily enjoyment or preserve it in jars for long-term storage. Whether for your own kitchen or as a thoughtful homemade gift, this spiced orange jam adds a delightful, aromatic touch to any meal.

I don’t geek out over many things, but the WINTERJAM lineup? Nah I’m CONSPIRING that

They’re holding a challenge, and the winner gets two free jam nation passes, they just have to guess the lineup…

SO

Enjoy my ramble:

So WINTERJAM has created a formula for their shows: they need to check all the boxes for genres of artists

They need:

A huge artist to be the headliner

A rapper

A rock band

A worship artist

An EDM/Dance/hype music artist

And a more country/gospely kinda artist

So considering all of those things, here’s my lineup predictions based on THIS IMAGE they gave us:

So knowing this formula, and seeing very faint but still photos of the artist, here’s my predictions:

HEADLINER:

That’s obviously Crowder. Which kinda sucks, since everyone requested Skillet, but I love Crowder, though I wish they’d change it up once and a while

RAPPER:

The big hair? Obviously Lecrae. Plus, he’s on the rise with not only winning a Dove Award recently, but also staring in the upcoming movie “Journey To Bethlehem”

EDM/DANCE/HYPE ARTIST:

From the looks of the third image, I’m able to tell that it’s more than one or two people, it’s a group. So this is a band. Two of the biggest hype band groups are Elevation and Hillsong Young and Free, but after looking at two of their cover photos back to back and comparing it to the blurred out image, I believe it’s Hillsong Young and Free. They’re a great pick for this type of festival.

WORSHIP ARTIST:

This is the fourth image, and from what I can make out, it looks like one artist, and a girl one. So who’s a popular worship artist who’s a girl and would do super well at an event like this? Katy Nichole. Just won a dove award, just performed on the dove awards, has several radio hits on Christian Radio, she’s on the radar.

ROCK BAND:

Now, even though I hoped they would change it up, this looks like it’s gonna be Red. They just released a new album last month, and their popularity is growing a lot. Plus, Red is always WJs go to rock band when Skillet can’t attend or Disciple is off the radar (which, they should NEVER be off the radar because they are INCREDIBLE, but whatever)

COUNTRY/GOSPEL ARTIST

Ok, even though they don’t necessarily fall into this catagory, but they kinda do, here’s my prediction.

The blurred out image looks like 3 people, and this band was requested quite a bit…

It’s Cain!

PRE JAM:

Ok, now this is where things get hard. The pre jam usually brings under the radar, obscure, new artists to get their names out there. Here’s my predictions solely based on the images:

First image is Social Club Misfits, since it looks like a duo.

Second image, I have no idea, but I know it’s one dude.

Third image looks like a band, and I know an awesome band (that I really hope comes) that not only is still pretty little known but is ever so slightly becoming known, follows ALL of Winterjams socials, and even commented on the EXACT LINEUP GUESS POST with a fire emoji: that band is called Ignescent!

Don’t believe me? Here’s my proof:

Anyway rant over wooooo

[aziraphales-library]

hello 👉🏻👈🏻 look i ship aziracrow as much as the next person but… the crowley obsession in me needs to know… do you know any good self insert/readerXcrowley fics?

We have a #reader insert tag and specifically this post with Crowley/Reader fics. Hopefully you'll enjoy these as well...

Stranger by winterjames (G)

While having a few drinks at a bar, you meet a very intriguing stranger.

Isolation and Messes by dont_psychoanalyze_me (NR)

When you isolate yourself without warning, Crowley and Aziraphale aren't taking it. Crowley, with prompt from Aziraphale, stops by to check up on you. To say your frustrated is the least, but the demon has his ways as always.

Crowley's Hissy Fit by eiressofinspiration (T)

You and Crowley have been dating for a few months now and it’s his first time visiting your flat. He’s surprised to find he shares a few qualities with your pet…

Gentle Sin by ShortInsomniac98 (E)

Mesopotamia!Crowley x Fem!Reader // Just a self-indulgent little reader-insert fic because I really liked Mesopotamia Crowley.

we have not touched the stars (nor are we forgiven) by rosesinmars (G)

Crowley is sad about the fate of his beloved Bentley, and you are quite done of watching your demon friend all gloomy, so you decide it's time for you to do something about it, and as you do so, some feelings you have been trying to hide for a while now becomes quite obvious at Crowley's eyes.

Understanding Who You Are by JustAnotherNarrator (T)

He wanted to talk. At least, that’s what he told you once the two of you had stopped glowering at one another. You’re still not quite certain why you thought bringing him back to your apartment was a good idea though. The trail of reasoning had been something along the lines of whatever he might want to talk about might not be fit for human ears, but it doesn’t make this moment any less awkward, because as of now, neither of you is, in fact, talking.

✨Weekly Progress #46-50✨

I can't keep putting this off else it'll be 2024 before I write my updates. 😓

Sketched 14.5 SYVNH CGs

Revised BWOBK script (2nd draft)

Lined 4 SYVNH BGs

Eek, when you consolidate it like that, it really seems like I didn't do much, huh... B-But, allow me to present my case! And show some proof too!!

The .5 CG comes from me realizing I can cut a corner and just use a sprite for + new BG for storytelling purpose.

Wait, I said 14.5 CGs! There's only 7.5 here, where's the others?

This time, I think I zoomed in enough that you can't tell much of what's going on.

...Huh? There should be a total of 14.5 CGs, I think there's only 13.5 here...?

...

Well, future pumpkin will deal with that in about a month when programming starts!!

And here's four... Okay, since I don't know what happened to that last CG, have a bonus preview of the other 3 BGs I lined this week...! Totally not due to me opening and setting everything up then feeling sad I'd have to redo it to only show four. I've also started using the help of CSP models for some items in BGs. It's been a real life saver.

And for folks who played my other games, perhaps you recognize the figurines in this BG? :)

Additional to that, I've been alternating to also work on writing for our WinterJam VN project. I don't really know how to properly show that off so here's the script's outline + wordcount...?

I'm pretty excited to help put together and bring what I've written to life!! I mean, look at all the pretty art @akuakourin has made already!!

(I hope tumblr doesn't eat those twitter posts links...)

Alright, that's it for now! I'll work hard in the remaining two... (uh, 1.5) weeks of 2023 so I can bring some great stories for everyone to enjoy in 2024!

[cb-writes-stuff]

And now the question that made me think of the good question,

Headphones or earbuds? Wired or Bluetooth?

Or just been to any good concerts

Earbuds, Bluetooth. Headphones and glasses don’t agree. And we move around a lot and usually stray from our phone, so wires are a no.

The only concert we remember was WinterJam, or something. Don’t even know when it was, or if we liked it.

[maxxmaxxing]
