I giggle every time I see this. :3

I kinda want to make a design for each one... But I'm lazy... I challenge someone else to make babeh dragons for each one. :)

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND WATCH THIS VIDEO

I’m speechless right now. this is amazing.  

That.

Was.

Beautiful.

((Watch this right now, for the love of god, watch this.))

didn’t even need to click the thumbnail

yes

this is amazing

I have no words.

Just, bravo. ;w;

This is beautiful. I really wish I could say that there is no reason for anyone to ever feel like this...but I know there are cruel people out there that just don't know how to live and let live...or how to love and let love for that matter.

This is why I hate interacting with most of my family. They all obnoxiously judge everyone else.

Why Girls Hate Each Other 

I just wanted to enjoy their cover but when Fuckboy McFuckerson decided to sexualize a little girl, I went off.

I've been looking for a list like this! Thank you~

Hi sorry to bother you, but would you happen to know where I can find accurate information about Norse Mythology that is also not riddled with white supremacist coding? I’m looking for as much complete information that I can do I can understand the religion properly. Thank you!

No prob.  Well, there’s the Fjorn’s Hall podcast, which if you’re into podcasts is *chef’s kiss* excellent, and you can go follow @fjorn-the-skald and @fjorn-wanders right here on tungler

Also the Saga Thing podcast, which is also amazing

And not to toot my own horn but I also have a podcast that deals with Heathen-related stuff.  Right now there is one entire episode!

There’s Dr. Jackson Crawford’s youtube channel

The Exploring Series on youtube

And there’s Sacred-Texts.com, the best website on the whole entire Internet, a sprawling archive of historical and religious texts.  Here’s the Celtic index, the English index (this is also where they keep the fairy lore), the Icelandic index, the “Legends And Sagas” index, and the Tolkien index (includes a lot of historical material that’s had a big influence on modern fantasy, like the Mabinogion and the Kalevala)

IT’S PERT NEAR SOUP SEASON, MOTHERFUCKERS.

I am searching for reasons to look forward to fall this year in order to get rid of this aversion I suddenly have to the idea of cold weather. (Long story short: I had a real bad fall and winter last year, and I need an attitude adjustment this year). 

So here’s installment one: a list of soups that I’ve made before and that I cannot wait to enjoy in the next few months:

Daube Provençal (from Katie at the Kitchen Door). French beef stew with orange zest, olives, and an entire bottle of Côtes du Rhône in it. N made it for me a couple of months after we got together, and I always crave it when the weather starts to turn cool.

44-Clove Garlic Soup (from Smitten Kitchen). This soup literally has 44 cloves of garlic in it, some roasted and some boiled. It is far less overpowering than you’d guess from that intimidating number – instead, I found it refined, rich, elegant, autumnal. Absolutely sublime for dinner on a cool evening, with a glass of wine and a toasted baguette.

Chicken Tortilla Soup (from The Pioneer Woman). I am not a fan of Ree Drummond or her show, but I can tell you that around Christmas last year, I made three batches of this soup in one month. It is legit, and it makes a ton. N and I made a huge pot for his family when they came over for Christmas Eve, and they ate every. single. drop of it. in one sitting. Be sure and serve it with lots of fixings: radishes, cilantro, lime wedges, crema, cotija cheese, tortilla strips, diced avocado.

Wild Mushroom Bisque (my own recipe, from the bricolab). I have been working on this recipe for years, through at least a half-dozen iterations. Here is the best version. A cup of it is like a holy grail containing essence of mushroom. Not a pretty soup at all, admittedly – but rich, thick, earthy, and insanely delicious.

Spring Pea and Onion Soup with Crispy Shiitakes and Parmesan (my own recipe, from the bricolab). This one is, no joke, a ten-minute recipe, including sautéing the mushrooms. Vividly green and sweet/salty.

Poached Cod in Tomato and Saffron Broth (from Bon Appétit). Not technically a soup, but you can double the ingredients to make more of the addictive spicy/winey broth. 

Cauliflower Soup (from America’s Test Kitchen). Yes, this soup does have a whole stick of butter in it (about half of it goes into the brown-butter-sautéed cauliflower garnish, which you can omit if you’re a fool and hate good food, or if, you know, you’re watching your fat intake). It does not have a drop of cream in it at all, but you would never know it. A creamy, delicious, magical soup.

Garlicky Carrot Soup (my own recipe, from the bricolab). Kind of a “cleansing” soup. Very easy, very healthy, and very pretty and vivid.

Pasta e Fagioli (adapted recipe, from the bricolab). Made this for the first time recently from a lightly-adapted recipe. Huge fan. Huge. Put in a Parmesan rind if you have one.

Vichyssoise (adapted recipe, from the accidental kitchen). I took a 1962 recipe from Gourmet magazine and spruced it up a bit with truffle oil and Greek yogurt, both of which make this soup something really special.

Thai Coconut Shrimp Noodle Soup (from Food52). Green curry based. Add mushrooms, substitute all tofu, dowhatchalyke.

Thai Coconut Curry Soup (from Chef Michael Smith). Tied for favorite Thai soup recipe. Red curry based. 

Aaand now I’m hungry.

Dude.

My dad was telling me about these girls at his old college who invented a nail polish that paints on clear, and if you stir your drink with your finger with the nail polish on, it will react with the “Date Rape” drug and turn red.

Dude. It’s genius.

My power is water...and my weakness is also water...why are there so many water bottles around me?! lol
