Mum usually buys enough fish for two separate dishes so we are having the Spicy Red Snapper & Bamboo Shoot for dinner. The Braised Pig's Trotter & Pork Belly with shiitake mushrooms and whole garlic cloves is last night dish but as the trotters take time to tenderize, we left it for tonight.
well-mannered, shy kid who tends to take an older sibling role with younger children, they probably ended up with Mother by following one of the sporelings
she was lonely in her previous life and stayed with them because being in a place with loving parents and a lot of other kids is a literal dream for her
based their design on the bamboo mushroom as pictured below
Been playing more SMRPG again. Can you tell what my usual approach to combat is? (I'll give you a hint: I'm a caster gremlin who exploits party-wide spells and enemy weaknesses for fun and profit)
No one warned me this lil' man would be the key to me utterly wrecking shop but I am beyond delighted to have found out.

Dyer's polypore (phaeolus schweinitzii) is a wonderful mushroom used to create various natural colors for your textile and craft projects. Known as a fantastic 'starter' dye mushroom, it brings a range of deep yellows and toasty browns on protein fibers like wool & silk. By adding iron, you can invite greens and darker shades to expand your natural dye palette. If you are a fungi fanatic with a love of foraging, the dyer's polypore is ready to be picked! This tutorial will show you a stove top method of making dye from this mushroom, as well as the resulting color swatch samples (wool, cotton, bamboo & silk) with alum and ferrous sulfate mordants.

May you be surrounded with alluring fragrance and the sweet or savoury taste of rice dumplings. Wishing all my food blog readers a memorable Dragon Boat Festival.
愿你被诱人的香味包围,享受着热腾腾粽子的甜蜜滋味,祝你过一个难忘的端午节。
What is the legend behind the festival?
You may know that the Dragon Boat Festival (端午节/龙舟节) is meant to commemorate the death of the Chinese poet Qu Yuan, who died in the ancient state of Chu during the Warring States period (475–221BC), a bloody time when the different provinces of modern-day China fought endlessly against each other.

The patriotic poet Qu Yuan (屈原) was filled with despair about the state of his home and drowned himself in the Miluo River in Hunan province. According to legend, locals raced out in their boats to try and save him and threw balls of sticky rice into the river to protect his body from being eaten by fish.
However, it is also believed that the festival preceded before Qu’s tragic death, as a way to ward off bad luck. According to Chinese belief, the Fifth Lunar Month (农历五月) is “poisonous” because poisonous creatures, like snakes and scorpions, are active during the early days of summer. They also believed that people were more prone to illness during this time, so they held different celebrations to keep evil spirits, diseases, pests, and drought away.
