Another competence you’ll need is cooking. Never did it in your life? Some recipes are easier than they sound. The easiest?

-Soup.

 You always eat them from a can? You can make them by cooking vegetables with hot water and broth, then put the vegetables in a mixer (or a food mill in case of a blackout).

-Mashed potatoes and fries

They can be done otherwise than from a bag or frozen. Mashed potatoes are first steam cooked, then mashed in a food mill. You can cut fries in potatoes, spray  them with oil, and roast them in a hot oven, without  a fryer.

-Pies and pizza

First you don’t have to buy the dough, flour, water and oil are all you need. And if you don’t have greaseproof paper, coat the baking tin with butter and flour.

-Pastas

The basis remains the same, only the sauce change, and there are tons of them. Puttanesca, bolognese, chicken Alfredo, carbonara, etc. Our vegan friends can try pesto, tomato-basilic, or oil and garlic.

-Cookies

They can be done without butter, olive oil can be used for them.

-Jams

Simply cook fruits with sugar. No sugar? Grape jam was done with grape must instead. It can be difficult to find, so, use grape juice instead. It contained any fruits or vegetables available in the season.

A bit more difficult:

-Bread

Bread was not indexed in stocks, because you can’t keep it for long, except crisp bread. The fresh version must be made. You’ll need bakery yeast, and trying to do it without a robot. In my case, it would not raise much.

-Brioche

Same: it must raise with yeast, but it does slowly. Yeast, by the way, is done with a bit of dough you let sour.

-Cinnamon rolls

Still that raising problem.

And much to my dismay…I still don’t know how to do these.

-Puff pastry

This kind of dough is long to do and master.

-Crumpets

I don’t see why, it’s very close to pancakes…and pancakes are easy.

-Carrot cake

I don’t see why either, it’s never as delicious as in Starbucks.

Butter, like bread, is not easy to make (unless you have fresh milk) nor to be stocked without a fridge. Clarified butter (melted, then solidified) was a possible long stocking method.

 Nearly all culinary preparations that involve butter can be done with oil otherwise, easier to stock. For spread use, lard was once used. It can be stocked outside a fridge.

Vegans won’t approve the use of lard, but making your vegetal butter with cashew nuts, water,  coconut and colza oil is possible.

Who say cooking say waste, and manage it. If dustmen can’t assure their duty, and you can’t find trash bags? Perishable rubbish can be composted as said earlier. 

You can use papers and cardboards as  fire starters. For everything else, like glass and porcelain, use a pit in your garden, then bury it. Do not put toxic waste in it, still.

ITS TIME TO TALK ABOUT WARDS!

Im doing some summer warding and wanted to share some tips on how, when, and why to ward as a witch whos practiced for 7 years. (7 years now? damn.)

first:

What is a ward?

a ward is a magical barrier between yourself and any unknown entity. think of in the spiderwick chronicles when the old dude had his bed surrounded by a ring of salt- that's a ward, a common troupe for one too!

Wards come in different varieties, shapes and sizes. I wanted to highlight a couple of mine (which are admittedly a lil overkill) here today.

When should I use wards?

wards are a passive magic meant to be running constantly so things you do not want in your space dont find there way in. so basically: if you dont have any, you should proooooobably put some up after reading this.

Why should I ward?

so you can sleep safley at night? lol. in all seriousness, its like a magical moat for your space- nothing can come in unless you specifically let it. it's very helpful.

DIFFERENT WARD TYPES!

oh boy here we go let's talk about what kinds of wards there are!

1. PLANTS

Plants serve as a living, breathing barrier between you and the unknown. They are a very powerful ward when done properly. They can absorb negative energy for you! Be careful with this though- if someone hexes you, it might try to pass through your wards and hurt your plants :(

2. BELLS

In medieval times, bells and windchimes were used to deter evil spirits from entering homes. Sound familiar? Anyways, this principle can still be harnessed and used to this day. Along with the bell, I got copper wire, which is a self cleansing protective metal, a hunk of labradorite to invoke psychic tendencies, and an acorn for luck :)

3. ROCKS

a very common ward includes protective stones! Heres a hunk of obsidian to illustrate! it makes it harder for spirits to pass through generally.

4. BANNERS WITH SYMBOLS

Idk if i can refer to these as prayer flags sincr they dont actually have prayers attached to them, but similar concept! This set of banners has protective symbols to keep my space safe and sound :)

Well that about summarizes my wards! Wards can be made from just about anything that aligns with your craft, I hope this gave you some ideas! blessed be, have a good day!

we need to have a serious talk about antisemitism in America. yesterday, there was a hostage situation in a synagogue in Texas, where a gunman took for people including a rabbi hostage. he wanted to have someone released from prison. I forget who, but she was charged with 80 something years back in 2010. so what do you think this gunman does? does he contact the police or the president and demand the prisoner be released?

no. he tells the rabbi to call another rabbi in New York, and to have that rabbi release the prisoner. now, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that his plan was completely stupid. the rabbi in New York had no relation to with prisoner, the prison she was in, or even the justice system at all. so why did the gunman think that the new york rabbi would have the authority to release a random prisoner who was sentenced 12 years ago? one word. antisemitism

most antisemites have the insane belief that all Jews are secretly controlling the world, or the government, or the banks, or natural disasters, or... you get it. its entirely based on fake and antisemitic conspiracy theories, and it literally gets people killed. this gunman thought that a rabbi in New York had the authority and power and ability to release a prisoner who I'm pretty sure isn't even imprisoned in the state of New York (don't quote me on that though). (edit, she was imprisoned within Texas?! literally what is the logic here?!)

antisemitic conspiracy theories, even as jokes, literally get us Jews hurt or killed. those are your "lizard people". your "space lasers". your "new world order". your "George Soros money". all those insane baseless conspiracy theories, even as a joke, cause severe damage to Jews. because people will believe it.

I haven't seen any non-Jews talk about what happened yesterday. that's not surprising. very rarely will goyim care about Jews unless one of their close friends is Jewish. but it's still upsetting. there is still so much antisemitism and hate towards Jewish people in the world today.

yes, adam has a sad backstory. and yes, this explains why he is the way that he is. but it is still not okay. someone tell him to go to therapy, stop being weird with minors, and stop treating tadashi like that please
