During the Covid-19 outbreak in the first half of the year, I set up bamboo fences around the outer walls, and planted some vine plants and vegetables, like cucumbers and luffas. When fleeting spring gives way to summer, these cuties start to send green glow. Pick the fresh cucumbers from the vine, and some termite mushrooms from the mountains. Cucumber peels with Lap-mei, cold noodles with chicken shreds, fried rice with cucumbers, Chinese chicken burrito… #It tastes like Li Ziqi’s summer#. How about yours?

Gourds and Magical uses

Frankie's gourd thoughts.

Not the end all be all but the musings of one growing gourds.

Overall there are many plants in the gourd family. Squash, zucchini, pumpkins, watermelons, cucumbers, hard gourds, loofas...

Almost all gourds would be useful in:

Fertility workings (think of all those seeds per fruit, and each plant produces multiple fruit)

Growth (seriously you can see their progress as you grow them each day)

Strength (the seeds are so hard and take strength for the sprouts to bust open those shells and get going)

Patience (it takes patience to wait for your gourds to be ready to harvest, in some cases immense patience in preparing your harvest)

Bindings (yup vining plants are amazing binders because of the way their tendrils wrap around, cling to, climb, and sometimes suffocate other things)

But after you get past the main characteristics of this diverse family we start to get into nuanced magical uses for each type of gourd.

Jack-o'-lantern pumpkins for instance, would make a horrible attractant pumpkin in a recipe because they are grown to be hollow and large for carving, not sweet like pie pumpkins.

🎃I would use Jack-o-Lantern pumpkins for protection, banishing, hope (light in the darkness)

🌱I would use Pie pumpkins for attracting/bringing things to me, for family relations, comfort, love

🌱Tennessee Spinner/Dancer gourds are tiny gourds grown for their ability to make a children's spinner. They are also about salt/pepper shaker size. I would use these fun ones for innocence, trance states, movement, dance, starting things, vessels.

🌱Cannonball gourds... Can we talk about that cool name? They are about the size of a cannon ball. They are used primarily for bowls and are very hardshelled. I would use these suckers for protection, for vessels, for preservation, transformation.

🌱Bottle gourds are another hard gourd. They are usually used for holding liquids or birdhouses. Probably could be used in works for finding homes, for protection, for sustanence workings, potion holders.

🍉 Watermelons are notoriously hydrating and sweet. I would use them to refresh something, to restart or renew something. To bring things in in a pleasant manner. They are also high in vitamin c (ya know that vitamin for preventing scurvy) and because of that I would also use this for health blessings.

💆Cucumbers the spa gourd. Seriously yes they are edible but they are the most visual part of spa day art. They are hyrdating, and healthy, crisp and clean. I would use them for refreshing, renewing, boosting up, cleaning out, self care work, relaxation, health blessings.

🍪Zucchinis are very similar to pie pumpkins for me, while they are not inherently sweet they are used in baked goods often. I would treat them as a hearth and home gourd. One that can be used to bring balance, peace within the home, perspective.

🛁Loofas yeah you heard that right those scrubby things you use in the shower or bath are grown! They are grown in gardens and are so prolific you really only need to grow them once every ten years, one fruit has too many seeds for me to willingly count. With it's common use as a scrub sponge it's a shoe in for cleansing and banishings properties, I would dare say it could be a potent ingredient for death work as you only get your scrubby after the plant has dried and you remove the "skeleton" and shuck away all the life giving seeds.

If all you could manage growing were vining gourds... You'd still have an amazing amount of options as a magical practitioner and what you could use them for in your path because I didn't even cover all of them!

There are basket gourds, tobacco box gourds, rattle gourds, snake gourds, summer squash (technically zucchini is one of these but I think of them differently), types of mellons, spoon gourds, siphon gourds...

Sooo many diverse possibilities in one family of plants.

Once M&M and Cucumber are done, Cheesecake goes in the room and they get down and dirty. (Thats so nasty)

;;obviously it’s not & it probably WON’T be coming back in full swing but the c/q rpc community seems...... a LOT more active than usual rn there’s a whole lot more muses than there were before ( currently being used or not, still made within this recent timeframe ) & maybe people are finally getting into this comic !

;;& y’all got ME to thank for it~

hanayomemomo :

In spite of his blasé reply to her query, she continued to smile.  Their bond, her familiarity with him - afforded her an understanding - so she did not take such things to heart.  The airy and enthusiastic expression she greeted him with softened to one of tenderness as he came to stand in front of her.  Bent at the waist to be eye level with his dear pet, to dotingly graze his head with a fingertip.  The attention and sentiment shown was not so different than what she herself lavished upon Leonardo on a daily basis.  She prized the small sea turtle as if he were her own, and had been honored to be entrusted as his primary caregiver.

She remained quietly watchful of the interaction, reserving any comment that she might make - cognizant of the fact that if she made any mention of her thoughts on the matter, they would cease - it was something that she did not want to come to pass.  Toshiro being comfortable enough to behave this way in her presence made her feel special.  She truly cherished moments like these, when he would give her a rare glimpse into to the side of himself not shown freely to others.  Of compassionate gestures and tones, or a contented smile.  An expression that did not grace his features often enough for her liking.  

“He’s a happy and healthy little guy.”  She giggles musically, “He has a preference for cucumber lately…”  Her words trailing off, the gratified smile she wears faltered slightly at the mention of the state of her hair.  “Oh!  Do I?”  Once she is sure that Leonardo has a firm grasp on the tidbit of strawberry offered, she moves to a small table nearby and places him upon soft blanket bearing the image of a sea turtle, spread atop the surface.  She hastily smooths her hands over her head to remove any trace of foreign substances.  She sighs, “Hopefully I got it.”  Her gaze falls back to him, curious.  “Are you hungry?  I could make some snacks for you while you visit with Leo.”  Her cheeks take on a pinkish hue, hopeful that he can stay longer than usual.  “That is, if you like - or have time for it.”

          C ucumbers?  --  The intel he’s once read in an educational book, from the world of the living with the generally renowned epithet of pets for dummies, submitted to him by the ever-so-charitable Inoue Orihime, herself, must have been written with more accuracy than he had initially presumed. An aquatic or domestic animal taken under one’s accountable responsibilities will eventually transcend and accumulate commensurate interests as their lawful proprietors. Hitsugaya, whilst not comprising as those who savored numerous vegetations, particularly contained a boundless preference for that exact source of greenery. The hearty and central matter girding ‘ pon their wholeness was agreeable to the touch. The resounding crunch when gluttonous braces of teeth dominantly thrust within its succulent core, and moreover, tears at its outward skin effectively like unsightly wallpaper annexed to out-of-date walls was agreeable to the ears  It was a simplistic luncheon but withheld a taste of satisfaction. “ That’s good. --  I trust that you’ve been giving him his periodic doses of vitamins as well, yes?  “ he’s trailing her even footsteps closely, fingers languidly inside the packet of eateries, fiddling with another, much smaller than its gorged kinfolk, berry adjusted to its role in being issued ‘pon a sacrificial altar.

              He’s punctually commissioning at the proximal edge of her tabletop, knees buckled momentarily, inducing him down ‘gainst the remarkably immaculate floorings, ‘fore they securely interlock in a criss-cross seating configuration. The blanket she had descended Leonardo atop, vanquishing an extensive portion of wooden coverings, was of a beautified silvery white kindred to the unpigmented, a deficiency birthed by his albinism, tinctures of his locks. It also had a turtle sewed into its mid-section. How suitably equipped she was, he thinks, to have around such mundane merchandise for occurrences like these. Her voice influences his optics to align ‘pon her person, to scrutinize her crown for any further invasion. “ Yea -- You got it. “ He’s staring at her continuously, registering the redness of her cheeks, the bags under her eyes, and the blemishes complimenting her porcelain foundation. However, the mention of a potential snack stabbed his focus as his mind promptly commenced in formulating a settlement. “ It all depends --  What do you currently have to eat? Also... “ a nudge of his head is given towards the far left, to make her look, albeit it was merely feigned words.  --  A way of teasing given her blossoming timidity. “  You seemed to have missed a piece of undergarment when you ordered your room. “

An Authentic Taste of Italy at Margot, Covent Garden

Not many restaurants are named after the co-owner’s mother in law but Margot, Covent Garden isn’t your average place. Located on Great Queen Street away from the crowds, it’s in a handsome stone building. The brainchild of Paulo de Tarso and Nicolas Jaouën, it specializes in authentic, seasonal Italian cuisine.

As soon as we walked in, we noticed the friendly vibe and stylish decor. Designed by Fabled Studio, it’s a pleasing combination of circular shapes and subtle blue-green tones.

You know the nursery rhyme, “10 Green Bottles hanging on the wall”? Well here, there are a whole host of bottles adorning the staircase that leads down to the private dining room and bar.

We were invited to sample Margot’s recently launched Italian brunch and regular readers will know that I’m a big fan of brunch. With unusual dishes like Italian lemon crepes with wild berries and mascarpone and fried eggs with burrata and finocchiona Toscana salami, it’s a welcome change from the usual brunch offerings. You might notice the daschund breadstick holder, a tribute to the original Margot who was much shorter than her husband and affectionately nicknamed dachshund by him! We kicked off our brunch with a couple of signature non-alcoholic cocktails recommended by our friendly waiter. Mine was Felicitá, a lovely combination of mixed berries, cranberry juice, pomegranate and lemon. Paul really enjoyed his Mr. Greene  cocktail with cucumber juice, apple, agave syrup and lime.

Our waiter brought us a great selection of fresh bread from which to choose including foccacia and wholemeal bread. There’s definitely a sense of theatre appropriate to Theatreland at Margot, Covent Garden from the unveiling of the bread to the mixing of the drinks by the cheerful barmen.

For his brunch dish, Paul went for the poached eggs on tomato and avocado bruschetta with crispy pancetta, or as they say in Italy, uova in camicia. All the eggs at Margot are free-range, and you can definitely taste the difference. The softness of the egg and avocado contrasted well with the crispy pancetta and sourdough toast.

To go with our brunch dishes, a signature cocktail was a must! The Padua Piccante Aperol is an intriguing mix of red chili pepper, passion fruit, peach liqueur, lime and apple juice. Now, chili might sound a bit overpowering but it works surprisingly well here.

We also enjoyed a healthy side dish of sautéed mixed mushrooms.

They went perfectly with my quiche with Swiss chard, fontina cheese, mixed herbs and pumpkin cream. The pastry was crisp and the flavour of the cheese really shone through.

To finish in style, Paul chose the torta del giorno aka cake of the day. This was carrot cake and beautifully adorned with piped cream and fresh mint. 

My personal favourite though was the chocolate bomb, which isn’t currently on the menu but if you go and ask nicely, you never know! Brunch at Margot, Covent Garden is available on weekends between 12 noon and 4 pm and a great option if you’re looking for high quality food with fantastic service in the heart of town. Which would be your favourite dish?

// Short add-on from something mentioned in this post right here! 

// When I say a ‘ crossover! verse, ‘ I don’t just mean that my character meets another & lives in their verse as they are, but rather!! With ‘ crossover! verse ‘ I mean that I’d like to invest my character into another world and build story, as if they’ve been there their whole life; a good example would be my ML/P verse! recently installed! Dexter didn’t just ARRIVE in P/onyville at one point and stay there, that version OF him has been there forever & he’s meant to be there!

// Another example might be my dumb ideas for a C/ucumber Q/uest verse! He wouldn’t have just found Dre/amside and made a whole new life there (although.. that WOULD be pretty cool), but instead, he’s been there all his life. Another example--; etc, etc!! 

// Anything’s possible really, but I wanted to clarify in case there were clarifications needed! If any of you wanted to establish something alike this, don’t be afraid to hmu for crossover! shenanigans!! You KNOW how I feel about those by now~!
