Ooooooo, looks sticky and sweet. Should be percent to feed to the little cousins come Christmas day.

@ellette-giselle

Hmm. Well, he looks like an SC, maybe an anti-hero or antagonist, although I don’t know if he’s a villain.

Is he perchance the oldest of the street orphans?

Snack recipe for everyone. :]

Ingredients

1 cup butterscotch chips (the small kind for melting)

1/2 cup peanut butter

2 cups miniature marshmallows

1 can (3 ounce) chow mein noodles

Instructions

1. Put the peanut butter and butterscotch into a saucepan over a rustic medieval fire (this is a must); stir until melted.

2. Mix up the…[Read more]

*Actively avoiding discussion on this matter even though my perspective is very relevant to the topic because my family avoided Christmas for eight years* Who wants a hopscotch recipe??

@koshka @mineralizedwritings @elishavet-pidyon

Thank you. (: It’s based a little on a time when I periodically visited my great-grandfather.

@ellette-giselle

Oh yes please. I love guessing what type of character a charie is from their board.

@whalekeeper

I just had to go look up what a French silk pie is (and am now craving chocolate). I love those, but we typically make chocolate cream pies with merengue like coconut cream pies (which we also make, and pecan pie, pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, cheesecake…*moan of hunger*)

I don’t remember hearing of this hopscotch, but I’d be…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Oh very interesting! I really like it. It feels like the perspective of somebody who is forgetting their life but still loves the people around them through confusion.

@koshka

I do that to chocolate cream pies, but that goes without saying.

Do you make French silk pies? We do that, and coconut cream pies. There’s also something called hopscotch, which is a mixture of peanut butter, butterscotch, marshmallows, and uncooked chow mein noodles.

That would be… interesting.

It would be. I’d rather not risk it. XD

@whalekeeper

That’s a much more coherent poem than my typical rambling-until-they-turn-to-poetry thoughts end up.

@whalekeeper

(Edit: The meat isn’t raw, just the masa)

So I assumed. That would be… interesting.

@whalekeeper

XD that’s great. I do that to chocolate cream pies, but that goes without saying.

@koshka

Yeeeeesss 😭 I’m tasked with making them each year, and I secretly eat the masa and meat raw like cookie dough… 😬

@mineralizedwritings @loopylin @rae @koshka @elishavet-pidyon

My shower thoughts sometimes turn into poems. 😛

…

No name.

Ten years I’ve lost my ever-changing mind.

My words have slowed, and must be redefined.

Your name slips on my tongue, a stranger’s taste;

The dullness and the gray leave me misplaced.

@whalekeeper

WhAt??????

It’s a great tradition. Also, homemade tamales are almost worth dying for.

@grcr

Well… I’ve read books with 100+ chapters, so it wouldn’t bother me at all. The book I’m reading right now is YA fantasy with roughly 70 chapters. If your chapters are a little short, it might make sense to combine some of them so it doesn’t feel too choppy. But otherwise it’s all up to you.

@koshka

Tamales especially are definitely a holiday food here. Although that doesn’t mean we don’t eat them year round, which we do, they’re just a Christmas tradition I guess.

No waaaay. O.O That’s our tradition! We have homemade tamales for Christmas dinner every year, plus a huge smorgasbord of cheese, meats, candies, etc.

@esther-c

Ah. That makes sense. We have turkey and ham for both, so we have dressing at both.

@esther-c

So, does your family have dressing or stuffing (or neither)?

We usually have cornbread dressing, although we have family up north who have stuffing, and I like both. The debates over which is better are fun to listen to.

We also have a bonfire and fireworks on Christmas Eve. It’s great fun.
