Owls are masters of disguise, blending seamlessly into their surroundings.

These trees appear to be judging me.

Feyre Archeron Clothing Aesthetic

Paolo Sebastian creates such magical, ethereal pieces that, in my opinion, fit Feyre’s aesthetic and the world of Acotar so well

Are these outfits fit for a High Lady or what?! I love the pale blues and black ensembles. UGH. Perfection.

The egg in the syrup was because they used to have to ‘clarify’ sugar prior to use to remove impurities. You do not have to do that these days.

When they peeled lemons they would use a knife and only pull off the yellow peel and not the white pith. No wonder your lemonade was disgusting!

Eggs whites whipt is NOT stuff peaks. It is egg broken up well until you have broken the membranes. You then stir this into your syrup GENTLY and then stop stirring.

‘Boiling’ is not a rolling boil. Bubbles should JUST break the surface

You also need to strain through a jelly bag, or flannel, to remove the egg. (But these days you don’t even need the egg, as explained above.)

Old cooking recipes were written on the assumption of a certain level of knowledge and accepted practice and often involved procedures designed to make up for deficiencies we don’t deal with in modern times!

So many things are like this, written with an expectation of “common” (shared) knowledge. But remove from the original source a few times (in this case by time), and those implicit instructions are lost.

The poor Tik Tokker did everything the instructions said with the “common” knowledge of the modern day. What whipped egg whites mean. What boiling means. If you were to take those instructions amd follow them yourself, you’d have done just about exactly what she’s have done.

“Peel lemon” is now “Zest lemon peel” to specify the yellow flavored part. As said, you don’t have to clarify sugar anymore, so that process has been lost. How you “strain” things even is different.

Wow. So much has changed from when that book was published.

How much else has changed when you look at something with implied “common” knowledge?

One of my favourite cocktail recipes is over 200 years old, and relies on deliberately curdling milk and spending two days on it in order to get a good result. And if you tell a modern person “hey, I made a delicious cocktail out of shitty brandy, lemon juice with bits and peel in it, and curdled milk”, they will be horrified and disgusted. Until they try it, and discover it’s great. It relies on a technique called milk clarification, not dissimilar to egg white clarification - the gross curdling process results in the nastier tannins and phenols binding to the curd, while the whey is left with all the sweet, pleasant flavours and the alcohol, and incidentally forms a product that is stable for storage in cold temperatures for MONTHS while the flavour only improves. You need a good cheese cloth or coffee filters to strain it, rather than just putting it in a wire mesh strainer or colander. You throw away the gross curds because they do not make for good yoghurt or cheese.

A lot of these old recipes prized a stablised end product, because there was no refrigeration other than a root cellar unless you were rich enough to buy ice and keep an ice-house for your chilled goods. And it’s nice to have pre-made fancy drinks sitting ready when you want them instead of having to make from scratch every time.

My favorite thing from the internet today.

esperian

this gem needs to be documented too

Daddy’s at the food store, Mummy’s out of town,

She’s working at the hospital since Rhona came to town,

Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s come to town,

Hide away, hide away, she’s come to take us down.

Miss Rhona’s at the doorstep, I’ll keep 6 feet away,

But Grandma needs the paper, I’ll take her some today,

Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s come to stay,

Hide away, hide away, we can’t come out to play.

But Grandma needs the paper, I’ll take her some today,

And here’s a note from Rhona, she wanted me to say,

Hide away, hide away, keep 6 feet away,

Hide away, hide away, she took us down today.

roseverdict

[Image ID: Tumblr user @neanderthyall says in the notes, “I thought that 6 feet was kind of a double meaning. Like six feet away to stop the spread, but when people die they’re six feet underground, and its six feet of the dirt that keeps you apart. Like ‘Hide away, hide away, even though it hurts Hide away, hide away, or the six feet will be dirt’.” End ID.]

HI DON’T LEAVE THIS IN THE NOTES THAT’S ACTUALLY BRILLIANT

I’ve taken the liberty of expanding the lyrics slightly and coming up with a tune:

Daddy’s at the food store, Mummy’s out of town, She’s working at the hospital since Rhona came to town, Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s come to town, Hide away, hide away, she’s come to take us down.

Miss Rhona’s at the doorstep, I’ll keep 6 feet away, But Grandma needs the paper, I’ll take her some today, Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s come to stay, Hide away, hide away, we can’t come out to play.

I need to see the sunlight, I’ve not been out in days And here’s a note from Rhona, she wanted me to say, Hide away, hide away, keep 6 feet away, Hide away, hide away, she took us down today

The days all run together, I haven’t changed my shirt We may be getting restless, but keep on the alert Hide away, hide away, even though it hurts Hide away, hide away, or the six feet will be dirt

@billpottsismygf’s extended version. A beautiful singing voice 🎶☺️

billpottsismygf

As planned I’ve extended this even further and re-recorded it with the new lyrics and a guitar part; it’s also a bit better quality. It’s so cool that so many different versions of this song have sprung up already! I recommend having a scroll through them all on @jus-tea‘s tumblr.

(Em)Daddy’s at the (B7)food store, (Em)Mummy’s out of (B7)town, She’s (Em)working at the (B7)hospital since (Em)Rhona (B7)came to (Em)town, (Am)Hide away, hide away, Miss (Em)Rhona’s come to town, (Am)Hide away, (Em)hide away, she’s come to (B7)take us (Em)down.

Miss Rhona’s at the doorstep, I’ll keep six feet away, But Grandma needs the paper, I’ll take her one today, Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s come to stay, Hide away, hide away, we can’t come out to play.

I’m missing all my friends, though we keep in touch by phone, I’m learning what it is to truly be alone, Hide away, hide away, even though you moan, Hide away, hide away, or we’ll be lying prone.

My love she says she misses the twinkle of my eyes, But Rhona stalks the streets and to meet would be unwise, Hide away, hide away, we hear the desperate cries, Hide away, hide away, or see the bodies rise.

I feel myself a-coughin’, I haven’t got a mask, It’s work or die for me, though, so who am I to ask, Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s on the task, Hide away, hide away, she’s come for me at last.

I need to see the sunlight, I’ve not been out in days, And here’s a note from Rhona, she wanted me to say, Hide away, hide away, keep 6 feet away, Hide away, hide away, she took us down today.

The days all run together, I haven’t changed my shirt, We may be getting restless, but keep on the alert, Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s quite the flirt, Hide away, hide away, her touch is not inert.

Hide away, hide away, even though it hurts, Hide away, hide away, or six feet will be dirt.

OH MY GOSH THEY PUT IT IN WORDS.

SO many people don’t get the difference here, because I guess there can be overlap (maybe some people find monotony tedious?) but damn. Like. I can like doing monotonous things (things that involve a lot of repetition but are soothing) but tedious things? things that take FOREVER to get done and leave you feeling like you accomplished very little and in the least efficient way possible? NO THANKS.

Monotony doesn’t imply inefficiency, but tedium does (to me anyway) and THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE and bless this show for recognizing it. l
