rosemary focaccia using my usual recipe from Gimme Some Oven

looser crumb, a lot less dense with better rise

An artwork by Spindle of the self-insert character, Spindle (lmao). The character has dark-green hair, black eyes, yellow glasses. Wearing a black top (with a golden trim) that goes under dark-green wide/baggy capri pants. For footwear she's wearing black heels. On the right there's the fullbody rendition of her, holding a stylus. On the left are 3 expressions ranging from a simple smile to a side look while smoking, and finally with an annoyed look (species wise going along with my usual setting and worldbuilding lore, she's an elfling, similar to Annie from a previous piece. Basically half-elf half-halfling)

Finally made my persona/self-insert character! Meet Spindle <3 (an elfling)

tried a new focaccia recipe, didn't really like it (not great rise, too dense) but i tried making a chili crisp flavor (+ plain) and it was super tasty! might make more focaccia soon with my normal recipe

nah i also got like that with my PTO every time i started a new job/changed positions 😭 but it's winter so they should understand

painting of a melancholic looking man, his face caressed by two draconic hands, one of which has cut a small line of blood across his cheek

cover of spitfire rekindled, which depicts three hands holding each other over a black background. one hand has golden skin and scales with long claws, the middle one is a rich brown with manicured nails, the right one is lighter and scarred

you know now i’ve figured out how i prefer to draw feon’s partially transformed draconic hands i might redo them in this other painting, cuz i love most of that painting but hate the hands

tomato shiso cold somen noodles, using cabbages world's recipe

mooncakes stores in containers

transfer to sealed containers and let rest for 2 days at room temperature. this allows for the oil in the filling to seep into the mooncake skin, making it tender

once finished baking, allow the mooncakes to rest ON THE BAKING SHEET for 20 minutes. they are very crumbly and delicate fresh out of the oven.
