there's something so raw and soul crushing about spending your late childhood+teen years suicidal then growing up and actually wanting to live, after an ungodly effort, only to see your health deteriorate because of chronic illness.

WITCHY MUSHROOM LINGUINE

A whimsical pasta that makes you feel like a forest dweller~

INGREDIENTS

8 oz chopped mushrooms (you could use any kind, or even mix different kinds! Just make sure they are edible.)

1/2 cup chicken stock

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 1/2 cups half and half

4 cloves garlic, minced.

4 shallots, chopped.

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

1 box linguine pasta

4 tbsp butter

1 tbsp thyme

Salt and pepper

Italian seasoning

DIRECTIONS

Melt butter in a pan and cook shallots and garlic until soft on medium heat. Add in the mushrooms, thyme, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and cook until tender. (About 4 minutes.) Add chicken stock and red wine vinegar and cook for another 4 minutes on medium heat.

Add in half and half and simmer for about 3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens a little more. Add in parmesan cheese. Cook pasta according to the directions on the back of the box with a salted pot of water.

Taste the sauce to see if it needs more seasonings, then add to taste..

Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water. Add your pasta into your sauce and toss to coat. Add in your pasta water so it combines well.

Top with parsley and enjoy!

Editors Notes:

You could add some shredded mozzarella to make it super cheesy!

Use an assortment of different mushrooms!

Using fresh thyme from your own garden is a good pick

Source your ingredients locally!

Sometimes when I’m sad, I feel like a whole different self, so I made happy frog and sad frog to represent those states of mind. When I’m sad frog, I not only feel sad about the original problem, but I also feel sad about being sad frog (something I didn’t even realize was happening until I went to therapy!). This comic is a reminder that it really is okay to be sad frog. Sometimes happy frog is on a break, so be kind to your sad frog, okay? ♡

Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]

For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.

Now I’m crying thanks

sapphic-matriarchy

and a new cat was hired right?

clarenecessities

yep! her name is Nitama (essentially ”second tama” or “tama II”) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy

she works very hard

Everytime this crosses my dash, I reblog. It is the law.

I’m crying at 11pm over train cats

sighinastorm

Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016). There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.

a legacy

bemusedlybespectacled

okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because it’s a pun on santama) was that she was basically sent to train for the position in okayama and they liked her so much they refused to send her back

kindaoffkilter

“Sun-tama-tama” (a pun off of “Santama”, lit. “third Tama”) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tama’s successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, “I will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.” [25]

As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tama’s Twitter account.

Argonian bloodwine

Argonian bloodwine doesn’t actually contain any blood, but is so named due to its colour. Contrary to popular belief, this isn’t a popular drink among Argonians, who are already capable of resisting poison and breathing underwater without chugging a beverage beforehand like the rest of us. As I’m no alchemist, I can’t claim that my recipe will do the same either, but it is full on flavour and is a unique take on traditional sangria!

You will need: 500ml blood orange juice, fresh if possible 500ml red wine of your choice (I enjoy pinot noir) 1 small fresh chili, sliced 1 cup simple syrup or agave nectar 2 cinnamon sticks 1 star anise pod

Method: Combine all the ingredients in an airtight bottle and mix or shake well. Leave in the fridge to infuse overnight.

To serve, strain the liquid into a pitcher and add a handful of ice cubes if desired. Cheers!

Potato soup

In Skyrim, winters are cold and harsh, and the potato plays a large role in the diets of everyone in the province. Potato soup is a popular comfort food in every home and tavern, which, though bland, can be turned into a sophisticated dish with some spices and leeks for a simple hearty soup that’ll warm the chill from your bones! This recipe can also be made entirely vegan by substituting butter with olive oil and either omitting the cheese or using a cheese substitute.

You will need:

5 large potatoes, washed

3 leeks, sliced thinly

1 ½ cups beef or vegetable stock (I use 2 bouillon cubes if I’m lazy)

2 cups milk or milk substitute

½ cup shredded mature cheddar

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp chili powder (not flakes)

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tbsp mixed dried herbs of your choice

2 tbsp butter or olive oil

Leaves of 5-6 stalks fresh thyme

Salt and pepper, to taste

Parmesan cheese, to sprinkle (optional)

Method:

Bring a large pot of water to the boil and boil the potatoes with the skins on for 25-30 minutes (this may be longer or shorter depending on the type of potato. To check if the potato is done, take a knife and poke it- if the potato slides off easily, it’s boiled perfectly). Leave the potatoes aside to cool.

In a pan, fry the leeks and garlic on medium heat with the thyme until fragrant and evenly golden brown. Set aside.

In a food processor, blend the potatoes with the skins on to a smooth creamy mash (you can do this manually in the pot if you don’t have a food processor). Add the leeks and garlic, dried herbs, cheddar, chili and paprika, then whiz again until well combined.

Bring the stock and milk to a boil in a pot, then scoop in the potato mixture. Stir constantly until it is dissolved and even in consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately and sprinkle with parmesan to taste. Goes great with some fresh crusty bread and garlic butter!

a concept: you wake up early. you can hear the birds chirping and you can see the sun start to rise. you open the window and allow yourself to feel the cool air on your skin. you have the whole day ahead of you. you’re at peace with yourself.

heart warming potato soup

- 🌿🍲🐌🍄✨

this soup.. is a cure all. break up? bad day? lazy day? rainy day? stormy day? repressed all your feelings for too long and now they’re coming to the surface far too rapidly to get a grasp on and this was all you could manage to pour yourself into as some form of healing spellwork.. day? try this soup! aha

originally when i made this i was slugging around the kitchen throwing sh*t in the pot but i think i retained enough to slap a recipe together so here goes!

[ potato soup ]

• 2 medium yukon golds (or 3 small)

• salt

• thyme

• pepper

• 1/4 sm onion

• 2-3 cloves of garlic

• butter

• flour

• 1 tbs sour cream

• handful of sharp cheddar

[ steps ]

cube up and boil your potatoes in some salted water, throw some thyme and pepper in the water too, do the toothpick/fork thing and when it’s time to strain save maybe a cup of the liquid for later, throw the potatoes back into the pot a sec to sautee up with your onion and garlic and some butter for a sec, just enough to infuse the flavour

chuck it into a food processor or blender to get it smooth with about 2 tbs of butter or substitute and however much of that reserved liquid it takes to get it just smooth enough to blend nice

now! get your butter and flour and make a little roux real quick, just adds a nice texture and flavour density to the soup but you could omit, from here stir in your potato sludge and more liquid as needed to reach your desired consistency

add a little more salt pepper and thyme, maybe some more garlic powder if it needs it, stir in a handful or so of sharp cheddar and about a tbs of sour cream; ofc you can omit or sub both of these if you’re vegan/lactose, let the soup simmer and serve up with a sprinkle of thyme and/or fresh cracked pepper :)
