This is beautifully haunting. You can feel the grandfather's grief? sorrow? his longing? All of these. The mood reminds me of dusty roads and crickets calling in hot summer weather, melancholic, quiet and quintessential North American somehow. I don't know if that was your intention or not, that's what I was feeling while reading this short piece. Thank you very much for sharing this with us :)
Oh I love autumn and all the soups! Here's my favourite veggie spice soup:
1-2 big onion 1 zucchini 6 tomatoes 3-4 carrots 5-6 big potatoes 1 yellow or red (or both) bellpepper 1/2 aubergine 500g mushrooms 1 can of corn S + P Sambal Olek or Chilli garlic to taste dry veggie broth (you'll need broth for about 4-5l, depends on pot size) 50 g butter if you want add wiener or ham
- get a big pot, melt the butter and roast the garlic and chili (or sambal olek) in it
- add diced onions and thin sliced mushrooms, season with pepper, let simmer till mushrooms are all small and crumply
- dice potatoes, slice carrots, add to pot, add 1-2 tsp of veggie broth, salt to taste, let everything brown some, don't forget to stir occasionally
- after about 5 min add hot water and cook for about 10 min, in the meantime dice zucchini, aubergine, bellpepper and tomatoes
- add tomatoes, zucchini, bellpepper, aubergine and corn to pot, add water till everything is barely covered, add another 2 tsp veggie broth
- cook for 10 min, add salt if neccessary
- if you feel the need for more heat add 1-2 teaspoons of sambal ollek at this point
- finished! serves 2-3 people, or 1 person for 3 days :)
For all your tea needs I highly recommend Adagio's website and the sampler boxes full of delicious smells and your tastebuds will love you, too :) Just stocked up myself, the dreaded winter time blues has no chance! Have a lovely day!
Oh MYYYYYYYY! I. AM. SO. HAPPY. Also their reactions are PERFECT! (And that is TOTALLY lowkey Shits&Lardo). And Bitty and Jack are soooooooooooo cute! Imma DIE OF CUTE NOW!
Oh man, I love this comic soooo much! Awwwwwwww, so many happy feels right now. Can't wait for 3.11! Also that little chin wobble of Bitty's? And his Canadian flag coloured phone case? I LOVE THIS DAMN COMIC.
Omg this gutted me. But, really, it's only been a matter of time until Eric felt the strain. I mean, he's only been out since he's come to Samwell? And he felt accepted there, and his new found family loved him for who he is. And that he can't share this HUGE part of his life with his new friends? That's gotta hurt. It's like he's back in the closet, he only has Jack to talk about their relationship, and Jack's not always available and sometimes part of the problem Bitty wants to talk about. He can't even share it with his internet peeps, because he might let sth slip. Bitty is more alone now then ever... hugs everyone
I absolutely adore all the tadpoles. Also, more story about Shitty and Lardo would be amazing, I agree.
Oh my, that would be awesome. I just joined and am having a first lookaround. So great to find you one here, too! I absolutely love the snark in your books (also Oberon is my favourite hound, jsut sayin'), thank you for writing Atticus and Granuaile!
