Drink for the thirsty, food for the hungry.

“Taste of the Wild”

… is the name of @milliemuns’s contribution to an upcoming Breath of the Wild zine that you just knew was going to happen.

Am afraid I don’t have much info, as in who’s putting it together, nor when it’s due. Though in the case of the latter, it’s a safe bet that it’ll debut at either PAX Prime (sorry, it’s now called PAX West, right?) or SPX.

Now, instead of making some dumb joke about the game’s cooking (alas, much like in real life, I have zero creative skills when it comes to making an exciting yet also edible meal), how about an idea to whomever the zinester might be:

In each issue, there’s a NFC chip baked in, to provide the player a steady supply of food stuffs (or weapons, whatever), by “borrowing” the identity of an Amiibo? Or is that illegal? Also, has Nintendo patched that exploit away? Sorry, haven’t been keeping up.

Honey is quite an amazing little substance, i often find myself using it my work ( seriously i have a 5 pound jar of it below my altar thats how much i use it). Honey is the general term used for the sweet nectar that bees gather and bring back to their colony for sustenance. (properly obtained honey doesn’t harm the bees at all) Collected around The late summer and early fall, honey is a common and staple crop in many parts of the world.

Magikal Uses- Honey has a handful of Magikal proprieties, uses  and distinct energies. the energies vary depending on which strain of honey you are working with. but overall i would describe them as positive, cleansing, gentle, soothing and warming. its great for spells, offerings and brews

honey makes an acceptable offering for deities,

 it can be kept on your altar i keep some on my altar to remind me that amongst the seemingly overwhelming bitterness of everyday life that sweetness can be found.

can be used in things involving Love, lust or sexuality

Purification (works great in bath scrubs)

health and healing

community or communication

abundance and prosperity 

used as a bonding agent in spells,(i find this nice because if you ever need to undo the spell, honey doesn’t permanently solidifies so whats bonded together can be unbound)  

spirituality

candle magic (for anointing  or beeswax candles)

honey can be used to represent wisdom, because gathering honey from hives can be difficult and painful if done incorrectly so it became a metaphor for obtaining knowledge through pain

Honey has a long medicinal history - it will help with allergies  if you eat a teaspoon of locally sourced honey each day. (buying local honey is great way to support your community and local agriculture) it is a natural immunity booster and has antibacterial properties, which is why it is good for soar throats.  if you Shop around for honey you will see a wide range of hues, some are lighter, others are darker. overall, the darker the honey, the better its antibacterial and antioxidant power

Defrost two sheets of puff pastry, and preheat the oven to 425 fahrenheit. Take 2 punnets of raspberries (250g) and 1 punnet of blackberries (125g) and wash them in a bowl. Douse with half a cup of sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon, leaving some behind for garnishing. Ladle half the berries into the centre of a sheet in a circle, and roll the pastry over itself to form a circular crust around the berries. Repeat for the other berries and pastry sheet. Relocate the crostati to a tray laden with a non stick parchment. Whisk an egg and brush the pastry with the mixture (if you dont have a baking brush an unused [ever] painting brush is fine), and then sift the remaining sugar onto the eggwashed pastry. Cook for 20 minutes, until pastry is puffed and golden. Let stand for a while, to let the berry juice set a little before it just bleeds all over the golden pastry. Serve with ice cream, or as is!
