Thoughts: I know it’s been a while since we visited the Seven Kingdoms, but while digging through some old drafts, I found this gem—unpublished for nine years! I don’t know how I let this slip so far through the cracks, but I’m delighted to share it now! The silky texture and unexpected combination of flavors
One of my quick fixes to get me through part of this winter was a pretty hefty binge into the worlds of the videogame No Man’s Sky. It’s an immersive, open world space exploration game, and one of my favorite parts is scanning new flora and fauna on unexplored planets. And, I mean, how amazing
Here’s a recipe I made last month for my daughter’s 5th birthday. She is in a shieldmaiden phase of her life (the first of many, I hope!), and has been especially interested in all things Viking, including “old letters”, or runes. So in addition to a rather stunning crow cake surrounded by sparkly edible crow
It feels both strange and natural to find myself always coming back to The Inn. It’s somewhere I’ve dwelt, at least partly, for over a decade now, and in my heart, probably much longer than that. This past weekend, I had the chance to remind myself why I do what I do, and how much

This recipe hails from the world of Prythian, in Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorn and Roses (ACOTAR). I first read the series several years ago, but have been enjoying her other novels over the past year. And given that the third book in her Crescent City series drops later this month, I knew I
“I slept badly that night, but this was getting to be so usual that it was an effort to try to decide if the nightmares I’d had were the kind I should pay attention to or not. I decided that they probably were, but I didn’t know what kind of attention to pay, so I
This wine is served at the Summer Solstice, to celebrate the start of the season and an abundant crop. I was first leaning towards apple or pear as a base, but those will be more autumnal, since that’s when they’re harvested. Instead, I looked to the fruits and flowers of springtime- strawberries, elderflower, that sort
“A really old sandwich made by Shamway. It will take away the hunger but it will also make you sick” This is a recipe first devised by my husband, who is part of my current 7 Days to Die raiding party of friends. The result was a surprisingly simple and yet tasty sandwich that absolutely
Ok, so this is a little bit of liberty taking, on my part. When Feyre first arrives at Tamlin’s manor, she sits down to a meal that is so opulent and plentiful that it boggles her mind. In that description, there’s chicken, bread, fish, peas, asparagus, lamb, and a chocolate torte. When Feyre takes a
