A fancy little treat ought to be eaten from a fancy little dish, which is why thrift stores were invented.

Weekly photo blog update! Ramble about these and life under the cut 😊

We found this amazing collection of books from 1945 about historical fashion second hand for super cheap! It's illustrated, in color, and in excellent condition, I'm over the moon 🥰 also the antique book fair is back in the city and we can't wait to go visit, I'll probably go next week so I'll share more later! although I really need to stop getting books, I've been out of bookshelf space for months now and they already took over half of the dinning table 😆

This little shop in the photos is where we get spices and dried fruit and it's very pretty so I thought I would share

Today we went out for sushi to one of our favourite places! It's venezuelan-japanese fusion and it's so so good, the drink is papelon con limon and I highly recommend it!

And last are these amazing thrift finds!! The skirt and sweater are perfect aaaaa I'm going to style so many autumn outfits soon after the weird heat wave passes, I can't wait!!

On a more depressing note, yesterday was my father's first birthday since his death a couple of months ago, and I also saw his tomb for the first time, my aunt sent me a picture at the graveyard and it's such a strange sight, seeing his name on a cross on the ground feels unreal. I try not to think about it too much, it's like if I stop running or look back it will catch up with me. We lit a candle last night with Nicolas and talked about him, it's getting easier to remember the good over the bad with time so I'm happy about that 😊

I hope everyone is having a great beginning of autumn!

I feel like Howdy would be the type to go to the dollar store to save money then complain when something is like $1.99

i second this....

Time for a @tastesoftamriel inspired drink! I had some ginger peels and lemongrass left over while cooking lunch today, so… this is Khajiiti hot milk with honey, lemongrass, ginger, and a sprinkle of nutmeg on top. Definitely something I’ll be making again, and definitely will be trying with some chili on top.

me: I baked a cheesecake on impulse today. I didn't have quite the right ingredients, but cheesecake is easy enough that I could improvise and it turned out fine

friend: ...cheesecake is easy to make?

me: It is! The crust is crackers, pulverized and mixed with sugar and butter, and the filling is basically cream cheese, sour cream/yogurt, eggs, and sugar blended together. Pour over the crust and bake for about an hour.

me: It's a lot like making quiche filling! ...wait...that...that's probably not a relatable statement, is it

friend: it is not

Every time I go to the vegan diner people are involved with or want to get involved with mutual aid for the refugees. One girl works on a farm and gave me her number about supplying fresh produce for distro, another girl worked at one of the shelters in my old neighborhood until the city shut it down. She and the other volunteers were from similar cultural and culinary backgrounds, so they had a rotating recipe roster that I want to adopt for our cooking group. Also someone said we should switch from tea to coffee since it's harder to come by and people really want it. Thank you vegan diner and beautiful Chicago people for being the mesh that patches the social safety net's gaping holes

1) Very crispy pixelated autographed picture of a former baseball player.

2) Potion of death (label said vintage honey but it had a consistency like brown water.)

3) Milli Vanilli record, which is kind of the funniest thing ever to me.

Bonus:

A very awesome pin I bought and put on my jacket.

Re-using Tea Bags

I buy organic tea bags and they are always great for two cups. Use comments if you need to.

Thanks!
