straightforwardly

► Another day, another entry! This time, I want to share the stories that I personally wrote for White Dwarf Rabbit Hole and Press_Start, because… just because, really.

( oh darling )

► So, I said that I’d do a link-dump this post, but now that I’m actually here, I… have no idea how I should start. I need to organize everything somehow, but there’s just so much, and just, agh. I think I just need to dive in.

► Let’s start with recipes! I had a craving for tomato soup the other day, despite it usually not being my thing, and so tried out this recipe for dinner. It...technically tasted good, and my family liked it fine— I might even make it again— but it wasn’t the flavour I was looking for.

Looking up recipes for that did lead me to other soups / autumn-y dishes that I’d like to try out, though! Here’s some of the ones that intrigued me:

As for things I’ve actually made: I made these pumpkin muffins (though I threw in some banana chips in the mix) and these apple scones (though in the interest of using up our garden’s produce, I turned them into zucchini-apple scones) recently, and both were absolutely delicious.

Oh! And I made this watermelon sangria for the American Independence Day, and it was also very, very good. I loved how straightforward the recipe was, and the lack of added sugar.

► A few other food-related links that aren’t recipes:

• Pantry Staples (okay, I just like looking at things like this)
• 10 Uses for a Food Processor (aka one of my favorite kitchen appliances ever ♥ )
• Apple Recs (well, okay, it’s technically wank about the Best Kinds Of Apples, iirc, but I’m using it as a recs page)
• Canning Tips
• 15 Kitchen Gadgets To Help You Eat Healthier (some are ridiculous, but others actually look pretty promising)
• tips & recipes for making chai lattes

► As for non-food-related links: I first saw this on the Yuletide fandom promotion post (I think), and while the other tweets from this account don’t do much for me, this one made me laugh:

► And I think I’m going to leave this here for now— I still have plenty of links to go through, but I’ve made an indent at least, and I’m tired now. I didn’t quite get to talking about Yuletide proper, but oh well. Until next time.
