Aquarium Fun Time!
โWe ventured out to the Eorzean Aquarium and enjoyed our time captivated by the fish in these tanks! Boy it must have taken ages to find them! And a lot of work to maintain them! Leon and I both took some silly pictures of โholdingโ this big shark. These selfies didnโt do the size of those guys justice! They were huge!!โ (*ยดะ๏ฝ*)
โNo aquarium date could ever be complete without a little selfie of us. And Leon was brave enough to surprise me with a smooch on the cheek!!โ
โโฆBet I could be even cheekier!โโช(ยดฮต๏ฝ )
โMuah!!โ โก
โGood evening, my friend. Youโre looking well.โ
Seasons Greetings!
โWe visited the returning starlight stalls! I wonder where it goes off to when the holiday ends? I can feel the love tonight. I heard there was a tradition of standing under a mistletoe. Then a kiss happens. What if I intentionally put one there? Hmm. Iโll get back to you on this thought.โ
The Nutcracker Prince VS The Rat King
"I read a few cookbooks to see what sounded more appealing to make. Mashed popotos, Suffed Cabbage, Dzemael Gratin, Mustard Eggs... But what kind of dessert would work great I wonder? Honey Muffins, Apple tarts, Rolanberry Cheesecakes... Clearly there's much to brush up on! I'll need to forage these ingredients. Thankfully this book gives me an approximation of where I could find them! It's time to make a feast!"

Family Portrait
โAmidst the sorting of my things, I found this old portrait of my family. I miss them all very much. Mother and her sharp skills of the blacksmith, brother Hatsuharu and his little awkward peace sign. (Heโll beat me up if I ever brought this up, haaaaaah) and my little sister, Fuyune. This had to have been one of the last few days I had with them before I went off on my journey. Iโll come back to visit them soon enough.โ
The Very Thought Of You
โI see your face in every flower, Your eyes in stars aboveโฆโ
โLeon was gardening today. Iโve always admired how much he cares for nature. Every single leaf goes unnoticed. As heโs distracted by natureโs beauty, Iโm distracted by the sparkle in his eyes. I swear I can see the cosmos in them. Pointing it out only reduces the chances that he may leave himself unguarded. Embarrassed by simply smiling in my presence. AhโฆWonโt you look at me like that, sweet bunno?โ
โIt's just the thought of you, The very thought of you, my love.โ

golden hour
โLeon has this patch of greens out in the yard. I wonder if he likes to grow special seeds. Maybe just random seeds that he finds in his journeyโฆโ he sighs dreamily. โIโd give anything to go on a journey with him someday. Itโs not even about the destination, but the journeyโฆโ
Vegan Spicy Udon Noodle Soup
Vegan Spicy Udon Noodle Soup: Your New Comfort Food Obsession ๐ฑ๐ This bowl is a flavor BOMB. A rich, spicy, and savory broth that hugs every thick, chewy udon noodle. Itโs loaded with crispy tofu, tender bok choy, and shiitake mushrooms.
Itโs the kind of meal that feels incredibly luxurious but is actually straightforward to make. The gochujang base gives it a deep, complex heat thatโs just so good. Perfect for a cozy night in.
Key Details
Prep Time:ย 20 minutes
Cook Time:ย 25 minutes
Total Time:ย 45 minutes
Servings:ย 4
Difficulty:ย Easy
Estimated Calories
Per Serving:ย Approximately 400-500 calories.
Ingredients
For the Broth:
1 tbsp neutral oil (avocado, vegetable)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
2-3 tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)ย check for vegan-friendly brands
8 cups vegan dashi or vegetable broth *
3-4 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp maple syrup or coconut sugar
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
For the Tofu & Noodles:
14 oz block extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp neutral oil
18-20 oz fresh or frozen udon noodles (3-4 packs)
For the Vegetables & Garnish:
4-5 heads baby bok choy, halved or quartered
1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
2-3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Sliced chili or chili crisp, for extra heat (optional)
*Quick Vegan Dashi:ย *Steep a 4x4 inch piece of kombu and 2-3 dried shiitake mushrooms in 8 cups of hot water for 20 minutes. Remove solids and use as your broth base.*
How to Prepare
1. Prepare the Tofu:
Toss the pressed and cubed tofu with 1 tbsp of cornstarch until lightly coated.
Heat 1 tbsp of neutral oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the tofu until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove and set aside.
2. Build the Broth:
In the same pot, add a bit more oil if needed. Sautรฉ the garlic and ginger for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the Gochujang and stir for 30 seconds to toast it and release its flavors.
Carefully pour in the vegan dashi or vegetable broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to lift any browned bits.
Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and maple syrup. Bring to a simmer.
3. Cook the Vegetables & Noodles:
Add the shiitake mushrooms and carrot to the simmering broth. Let cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
If using fresh or frozen udon noodles, add them to the broth to cook according to package directions (usually 2-3 minutes). If using dried, cook them separately according to package instructions and divide among bowls.
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the baby bok choy to wilt.
4. Final Touches:
Stir the crispy tofu back into the hot soup to warm through.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the 2 teaspoons of toasted sesame oil.
5. Serve:
Ladle the soup, noodles, and vegetables into deep bowls.
Garnish generously with sliced scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and extra chili if desired.

โMy cozy spooky little cafe decorated for the month of October. Iโll have to figure out what will be the right move for November. Perhaps a head start for Starlight is in order! Time to order a lit tree from the Gridanian markets. Now where did I leave my tomestone?โ

๐ฟ Plants and Their Commitment Issues
Letโs talk annuals (the one-night stands ๐ป) , biennials (two-date wonders ๐ผ), and perennials (the clingy bastards that never leave ๐ท)โbecause apparently โgrow and stay aliveโ was too much to ask.
๐ป Annuals The short-term relationships of the garden world. They show up, look stunning for one season, and die like they meant to do it. โ One & done. Grow, bloom, dieโall in a single year. โ Great for instant gratification. โ Basically the Tinder hookup of horticulture. Examples: Marigolds, zinnias, common basilโyour seasonal flings.
๐ท Biennials The slow-burn disasters. Year one? All roots & leafy self-improvement. Year two? A single dramatic bloom, then poofโgone. โ Two years total: growth, bloom, death. โ Existential crisis included. Examples: Foxglove, hollyhock, parsley. Theyโre the friend who finally figures themselves out and immediately moves away.
๐ฟ Perennials: The Clingy Overachievers You plant them once, and they will not leave. Theyโre back every year like a bad habit, stronger and bushier than before. โ Bloom, die back, return strongerโrinse and repeat. โ Low effort, high reward. โ Basically the unkillable ex who always finds your new address. Examples: Lavender, wisteria, hostasโyour long-term commitments.
๐ TL;DR โ Annuals: Beautiful mistakes. โ Biennials: Slow learners. โ Perennials: Eternal squatters
