Scones

this is the recipe that I make most often! it’s from martha stewart’s cookbook because she is a freaking cooking genius and I aspire to be like her one day

ingredients:

- four cups (480 grams) flour

- one cup (225 grams) cold butter

- one and a fourth cup (250 ml) milk

- two tablespoons sugar + (optionally) extra for sprinkling

- packet of backing powder (or one-two tablespoons)

- one teaspoon salt

- egg (optional)

steps:

1) preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius and assemble your ingredients

2) in a mixing bowl, add the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar (you can sift the ingredients if you like but it’s optional!) and mix

3) add cubes of cold butter into the flour mixture—cold butter, not melted or it won’t work—and break up the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal (it should look a bit like sand)

4) add in the milk—this is quite a dry dough, so don’t add too much!

5) this step is optional, but you can add in dried cranberries, apricots, blueberries—or go down the sweet road and pour in chocolate chips. or just keep the scones plain, this part really depends on your taste palate

6) use some kind of circular thing to cut out the scones—I use a small drinking glass

7) brush the tops of the scones with egg wash (I consider this step optional but it does elevate the taste) and sprinkle on sugar

8) bake in the oven for ten to fifteen minutes or until they’re golden brown on the top and enjoy!

Notes:

- I put the egg as optional because while it does elevate the taste, it feels kind of useless since you can only use so much egg wash :( however you could put in some of the egg mixture (like, three-ish tablespoons??) into the dough since you can’t really taste is anyway

- continuing on the first note, it’s fine to just leave it out. I’ve replaced the egg wash with milk before and it turned out just fine :)

- for vegans: using vegan butter and plant milk should work (milks that don’t have a predominant taste work best here) I’ve never veganized the recipe though so please tell me how it goes if you do!!

- try not to overwork your dough since this causes the dough to become dense and chewy

It’s Fire Cider making season!!

Half of today was just a huge cider crafting adventure. Half of these herbs are from my yard while the rest were from the market. I had the idea of making different ciders for various purposes and various correspondences. I even gave them names!!

Burning passion: Red cabbage, radishes, hibiscus petals, red onion, grapefruit, purple basil flowers, black peppercorn. I wanted this to taste sensual and fiery like a smokey flower. Can be used in love tonic spells or for courage.  devils kiss: Sweet red peppers, chili peppers, red bell pepper, shallots, dried chili flakes, sweet garden tomatoes. I wanted this to be traditionally spicy but with a rich sweet taste. The tomatoes were ripe and from my garden and have such a rich sweetness to them.  amber blaze: Oranges, sweet orange peppers, carrots, cinnamon, anise, habanero peppers (going to sweeten it with maple syrup after probably). I just wanted this to have the festiveness of fall and kick any cold I would potentially have in the crotch.  gold fire: Ginger, turmeric, lemon, yellow onion, sweet yellow peppers. I was just excited to use pure turmeric. There’s a beautiful glow to this one.  white inferno: Daikon radish, white onion, garlic, rosemary, cardamom, white pepper, chive flowers, basil flowers, chives. This one has a intense cleansing feel to it, nutritionally and energetically. I really felt like adding rosemary to this recipe would be right. I love the whole white flowers in there too that make it have more of this sense of purifying. The white pepper powder for some reason sparkles in it so it feels sparkly and light. The daikon radish is so light and refreshing when you first bite into it but it has an airy fieriness that permeates the whole mouth two seconds later. I’m excited to see what type of spice and flavor it will have after a few months! emerald ember: Horseradish, parsley, lime, basil, orange mint, jalapeño peppers, green bell peppers. I really wanted a cider that would be very herbal yet refreshing. I wanted it to have the type of spice that opens up your sinuses and third eye lol. 

My fingers were burning for an hour after haha. I am so glad it finally stopped. 

Did a smudging throughout my house today

Defend the National Butterfly Center (Again)

 The National Butterfly Center in Mission, Texas, has already survived the Trump Administration via a lawsuit in 2017 (filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction against the U.S. Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia)

Yet again, they face another threat: This time, Brian Kolfage and his private citizens’ campaign, We Build the Wall, Inc . (WBTW), along with Fisher Industries who intend to build a “water wall” on the Rio Grande river banks.

“In early November, WBTW and Fisher arrived on a neighboring property in Mission, Texas, where they are building an unpermitted, freestanding border wall 3 miles long in the floodplain, in violation of international treaty.  This project will obstruct and divert water flow in flood events to nearby properties and cause irreparable damage to the Rio Grande delta and the National Butterfly Center.”

On December 3, the North American Butterfly Association obtained a Temporary Restraining Order in state district court ordering the defendants to cease all construction activity; however, construction has continued in violation of this order.

The National Butterfly Center is a 100-acre, native plant botanical garden that anchors a 2,000-acre section of the Lower Rio Grande Valley Wildlife Conservation Corridor, a critical habitat preservation project at the biologically-diverse and vibrant, but threatened, crossroads of the United States and Mexico. This unique region encompasses no fewer than 11 different types of habitat, from tidal wetlands to riparian forest, brushland scrub to prairie savanna, and is home to more than 1,200 different species of plants, 500 species of birds, 200 vertebrate species, roughly 300 species of butterflies and over 90 species of dragonflies!

PLEASE: consider supporting them fight this project and continue their project of conserving flora and fauna!
