Knowing the difference between waxed paper and parchment paper is important, but it’s also important to know that it is, in fact, possible to set parchment paper on fire in your oven. Go ahead, ask me how I know.

My culinary journey has been less one from “setting off the smoke detector” to “not setting off the smoke detector” and more one from “setting off the smoke detector by accident” to “setting off the smoke detector on purpose”.

Baked Feta Wrap

I’ll make a better pub night, with chicken and feta! - Me

Who doesn’t love a night with friends after a long week? Whether you’re meeting up with a large group or settling in with a few close friends, it’s always nice to take some time to unwind and catch up. You know what we all don’t love? Expensive prices at bars and pubs. So, why not bring the vibe of pub night home and save some cash!

Popularized on TikTok back in 2020, the original tomato-feta sauce took the app by storm and spawned a whole batch of variations. Although I can’t find it anymore, the most interesting, to me, was from a woman roasting her cheating SO while turning this tasty sauce into a wrap (disguising the elastic as olives? Oof).

So, as midterm season comes to a close (or reaches its penultimate), this recipe is sure to make some great, easy snackables to kick off either a study sesh or a night out. Or, make your friends jealous by bringing it with you to school for an eating-out-style lunch without having to spend the cash!

Cheating SOs dni.

I will miss you, Techno

Another post about Technoblade.

I'm up at 1am crying and rewatching "so long nerds" as well as the vod of Wilbur and Philza talking about Technoblade.

Technoblade had obviously come to terms with his death. He told Wilbur, Phil, and Tommy not to visit him after Vidcon cause he knew he wouldn't be sticking around. He wrote his last video. He made merch. He knew death was near. Yet he spent some of his final moments writing a goodbye to his fans. He loved his fans. He made sure we got to finally see his face and know his name. He loved his fans and he made it clear even when he was dying. He would chose to be Technoblade again if he had 100 more lives. He would choose to make content for us

Watching Technoblades dad talk about his final moments breaks my heart. Technoblade was fighting for so long. Stage four cancer is rough, and he still fought. Hearing his dad say "Alex, you don't have to do anything else. You've done so much for so many people. Millions of people. And if you want to now, you can rest" hurts so much. He was fighting and waiting for things to get better so that he could make a video for us, his fans. He wrote his final video 8 hours before passing. In his final moments, he wrote a video for us. No parent should have to make their sons final video. Hearing his father say "I miss Technoblade" shatters my soul. I know it must have hurt him so badly to have to tell 12 million people that the person that made content for them passed away. That his son has passed away. My heart goes out to Technoblade family and I hope that they are coping well in this very difficult time.

Wilbur and Philza talking about Technoblade is both happy and heart shattering. Technoblade was funny and brought joy to his friends and fans. Wilbur saying that he felt so wierd because his world had stopped turning while everyone else was living normally hit me hard. He put what I'm feeling into words. My world has stopped because one of my inspirations has died, but everyone around me is living their normal lives. Hearing that Tommy never got to meet Technoblade hurts. Tommy looked up to him and he never will get the chance to meet him. My heart goes out to SBI and all of Technoblades friends. I hope they are doing well and are learning to cope well in this difficult time.

I know that from the afterlife, Technoblade is probably laughing about how hard we are all crying. He's probably memeing on all of us right now. I hope he's finally at rest in the afterlife. That he's no longer fighting and struggling. That he's watching all of us in the mortal realm and knowing how much good he did. How many people he impacted.

Rest In Peace Technoblade, Alexander, The Blood God, Flowergirl29, or anything we have known him as. Rest in Peace, you deserve it.

Context

I’ve spent a few days wondering whether or not I should reblog memorial posts for Technoblade on this blog. However, he and everything he did for his fans, friends, family, and the mcyt community is important to me - so here they shall go.

I’ve tried a couple times to write a proper farewell post of my own, but was never able to get it quite right. The reblogs I’ve chosen are the closest I could find to express how I feel about the news and his legacy. I may reblog more as time goes on.

Rest easy, Blood God. You will be missed but never forgotten.

If you can, please consider donating to the Sarcoma Foundation of America. He really believed in all of the work they do.

A tribute to Techno has been added to the Java Minecraft Launcher.

This was commented and hearted on a SMP earth awhile ago, it’s a quote about Alexander the Great I believe. Before anyone knew Alexander was his real name. It seems strangely poetic and sweet now. I hope he got a good laugh out of this

I don’t think I can physically be sad over Techno when I know he’s invading Wilbur’s dreams just to call him a loser

the dynamic

Phill: *telling tommy off*

Tommy: *trying to explain himself but is actually digging a deeper hole*

Wilbur: *singing something*

Techno: guys- guys please focus we need to win the game

"im owned" is both the saddest and funniest way for techno to tell his friends he won't make it

my final letter to the king himself~

i think what really hurt the most after watching the 'so long nerds' video.. was the realisation that techno's diagnosis was terminal this whole time. his dad said they had been discussing a final video 'for months' and his mom said he was always focused on beating what he knew were almost impossible odds.. even as he told us his doctors are amazing and that he's getting some of the finest healthcare around.. the entire time he knew. and i think that speaks extraordinary volumes about the kind of person that techno was.

his announcement video was essentially a goodbye video. and i think he just didn't want us to know that because it would have meant everyone would have spent this past year in a state of grief and sadness, rather than coming together and focusing on pure positivity, focusing on motivating him, sending him all of our wishes and strength and love. technoblade never dies - and i honestly did not have a single doubt about his recovery even for a second, because that's the kind of strength and courage he has put in me from the very beginning.

i cannot imagine how hard that must have been. i cannot even fathom how tough this past year has been for him and all of his loved ones. but what i do know, is that i will be eternally grateful to you technoblade. because you have always loved and cared, and you had the strength within you to put hope in people's hearts while knowing the universe was not kind enough to return the favour. i am in awe of the person that you were, and it has been a BLESSING to be able to support you these past few years. you have played the game well. now it's time for you to rest.

technoblade never dies 🐷👑

please do not forget to give whatever you can to the sarcoma foundation, in honour of technoblade

something that i will always remember of technoblade is how he was kind just for the sake of it.

i will remember him claiming the monopoly sound was too loud for him to hear wilbur when he spoke of techno staying up all night to comfort him when he was sick. i will remember him taking the time to add watermarks for his artists when they themselves forgot. i will remember niki and sophie saying how he always somehow made sure they never felt excluded or neglected and how he would hate it, it would embarrass him when they spoke of his kindness publicly. i will remember him personally dming ponk to thank them for sending a 45-minute video of someone feeding hotdogs to raccoons in chat and timestamping his favorite part. i will remember his love for the people who created for him, how he would keep his mentions on for everyone before his fanart tag was formed and would just scroll and scroll to make sure not to miss any art someone made for him. i will remember half his friends and peers having some kind of a story of him reaching out to them during tough days, reassuring them, believing in them, making them feel loved.

i will remember him in every act of kindness i receive and i will remember him during times in my life when i will need to remind myself to be kind despite it all.

I say this with my whole heart; it is an honour to carry on your legacy alongside millions of lives you've changed for the better.

His siblings will be able to go to college.

If they want to, of course. But that’s the thing that’s stuck with me the most. He wanted us to know that. In his last words to us, he made sure we knew that. He apologized for selling out, not that he needed to, and told us there was a reason and a result: “thanks to everyone that bought hoodies, plushies and channel memberships, my siblings are going to college”.

Technoblade changed so many lives, both of fans and creators alike. Hell, he changed my life too, he brought joy, he brought light, he brought laughter.

His legacy lives on, through us, through his friends, through the Sarcoma Research Foundation, through his colleagues.

Through his family.

His siblings can go to college.

We changed his life too. And he wanted us to know.

see you in the next life king!

YEA I’D SAY THATS A GOOD IDEA

text: Remember kids, don’t be an idiot like me and put metal in the microwave 

The sheer number of kids who are straight up putting their real names and ages and location in their bios like "Natasha | 14 | Minor | New York, NY!" and occasionally putting their actual school or city in their tags just terrifies me like no stop stop stop remove that right now I cannot emphasize how unsafe that is for you I am begging you for your sake remove thst shit right now

grande latte (iced, depending on the season)

if they have the little spice jars out again - add a couple shakes of chocolate powder and nutmeg

besties what's your go-to starbucks order i've only ever been like three times and every time i've gone i've hated what i've gotten i need some recommendations

Update: I’ve tried this a couple of times now with mild Italian chicken sausage as a substitute for pork and its tasted really good!

You do get a much stronger chicken flavour since the broth is chicken broth but you can offset it a little with a few more cloves of garlic.

The earl grey thumbprints were really good, however were a little dry, any suggestions?

Hmmm, I guess my first question would be whether the batter was dry before baking or if the cookies came out dry despite the batter.

If the batter was dry before baking them, there's a couple things you can try:

Double-check your measurements. One of the big reasons I like using a kitchen scale instead of cups is it takes the guesswork out of how much of an ingredient (like flour or butter) you're actually using. Moisture in the air, how tightly you packed it, etc. can all affect the consistency of the batter. If a scale isn't an option, or you're already using one, then I would suggest;

Add more butter or reduce the amount of flour used. The butter and egg are the only things adding liquid to the batter. If it's dry, try adding 1 or 2 tbsp. more butter, but avoid adding more than 1/4 cup extra. The flour could also be a problem (see previous point). Avoid packing the flour when measuring with a cup. If the batter is still dry even if you're avoiding packing it, start removing flour 1 tbsp. at a time from future batches.

If the cookies came out of the oven dry, despite the batter being fine, I've got a couple suggestions for that too:

Add more apricot jam/marmalade. The jam inside the cookies is meant to keep them hydrated as they bake. When I make them, the dents reach almost to the bottom of the cookie and I fill them well past the top. If this is how you've made them too, I'd recommend checking how you're baking them since;

Convection baking kinda sucks. I kept the convection option in the recipe since it was printed in the book, but I've found it bakes everything a little strange. Try following the instructions for baking in a conventional oven for the next batch (if your stove gives an option between convection bake and conventional bake). If not, start checking the cookies 5 mins before the recommended baking time and take them out just as the bottoms turn golden.

Thanks for the ask and hope this helps!

writing tip:

if you push buttons on a keyboard, letters will appear on the screen. and with that power you can do anything

Tasty! I hope they turned out well :D

Earl Grey Cookies

“[…] a combination of shortbread and jam thumbprint cookies, made all the more interesting by the addition of tea - something different for a cookie exchange, or package them with a fancy cup and extra tea as a gift.” - ~mystery book~, p. 227

Sugar cookies are a staple of the holiday season. Whether decorated with frosting, cut into festive shapes, or sprinkled with powdered sugar, they are the go-to cookie for gifting!

When I first decided to try this version of sugar cookie, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But, I figured I’d give them a shot since it uses my favourite tea. In the end? Best. Decision. EVER! I’ve made them for myself and friends in past holiday seasons and I constantly get asked for the recipe and/or when I’ll be making more (the answer is always December, guys).

Like the Soul Cakes marking the overlap of four different holidays at the end of October, these cookies offer a twist on the traditional treats served this time of year.

Consider baking them with the Cranberry Banana Muffins to really spice up the holiday season!

(This recipe is an adaptation from a cookbook my grandmother has tucked away. However, I don’t have the title of the book and I can’t find her copy anymore so it’s of ~mystery origin~.)
