February 3rd is Saint Blaise (Sant Blai in Catalan). In the areas of Baix Camp, Alt Camp and Conca de Barberà (Camp de Tarragona broader area, in Catalonia), it's traditional to eat these biscuits called blais or blaiets. Similar recipes exist in other parts of the Catalan Countries, like the coques de Sant Blai in Terres de l'Ebre, various Saint Blaise cookies around the Valencian Country, or the senyorets or blaiets from Menorca.
Blais are butter biscuits aromatized with vanilla or sometimes lemon. The most noticeable characteristic is that they're stamped with an imagine of Saint Blaise.
In the Christian belief, Saint Blaise is the patron saint who cures throat ache, cough and prevents getting a cold. For this reason, the tradition from this area take the blais to be blessed, so that eating them with green apples with protect from these harms.

i bring today to you, which fountain pens do the ineffable husbands have and which fountain pens i would give them
aziraphale:
what pen he has: he would have a montblanc, bc even though there are cheaper pens that are way better than a montblanc, he likes to be fancy and expensive. uses black ink or a very dark blue. no iron hall ink bc he has seen what it does to paper.
what pen i would give him: a sailor 1911. great pen, gold nib, beautiful, and while it is expensive (for me at least) it’s less expensive than a montblanc, not that he cares but i feel like he rates quality by price and montblancs are way overpriced.
crowley:
what pen he has: he has a lamy 2000, good design, durable, good performance, looks pro and smooth. it’s a pen that’s made to be good and practical and that works for him. he didn’t think about it much tho. (he also has a montblanc aziraphale gifted him)
what pen i would give him: pilot custom 823, looks snakey, also great pen.
