Lembas Bread (Lord of the Rings “authentic” Elvish bread)

Ingredients: 

 2 ½ cups of flour 1 tablespoon of baking powder ¼ teaspoon of salt ½ cup of butter 1/3 cup of brown sugar 1 teaspoon of cinnamon ½ teaspoon honey 2/3 cup of heavy whipping cream ½ teaspoon of vanilla

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425F. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and mix with a well till fine granules (easiest way is with an electric mixer). Then add the sugar and cinnamon, and mix them thoroughly.

Finally add the cream, honey, and vanilla and stir them in with a fork until a nice, thick dough forms.

Roll the dough out about ½ in thickness. Cut out 3-inch squares and transfer the dough to a cookie sheet.Criss-cross each square from corner-to-corner with a knife, lightly (not cutting through the dough).

Bake for about 12 minutes or more (depending on the thickness of the bread) until it is set and lightly golden.

***Let cool completely before eating, this bread tastes better room temperature and dry. Also for more flavor you can add more cinnamon or other spices***

Everyone is fighting a tough battle so reblog to give previous a sword 🗡️

One of the worst feelings is when you feel a hyperfixiation slipping.. Like no.. Youre so sexy pls keep giving me happy chemical

Saw a post like this with negative outlook so I asked for it to be fixed

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

I know many of you out there are feeling a bit down. Have a crow to Wouldn’t it be Nice by the Beach Boys to lift your mood.

i needed to read this today so im sharing it to all of you!!

You know what I just realized?

Okay, so, The Secret Garden is my favorite book of all time and Archibald Craven is one of my favorite characters. If you're not familiar with the story, Archie's beloved wife died giving birth to their son Colin, leaving him deep in depression and mourning for most of Colin's life/the book.

Because he still loves her and the garden they shared, even though he's locked it away, and I just made the connection between Archie and mot of my headcanons for Marcus???

In my mind, he and Didyme loved flowers and shared a secret garden, Marcus locking it away once she died and falling deep into mourning. Archie is supposed to run his estate/raise his son but leaves it all to others out of grief, just as Marcus neglects his role as a king and allows Aro/Caius to rule mostly. Both are devoted husbands left to mourn the greatest of loves but Archie at least recovers, realizing he can be with Lily by being with Colin/the garden...and Marcus doesn't get that.

Whish is maybe why I'm always writing him love stories with happy endings, because I want him to be happy too.

So apparently, I have two tragic OTPs:

Archie x Lilly and Marcus x Didyme.

Images you can hear

gentle reminder: you are very capable and I’m excited for your future

slightly less gentle reminder: you do have to work for it

I think I found a secret in twilight and I don't think anyone else has said or noticed it before??? (movie not book)

So you know the scene after the whole James thing where Bella is in the hospital and during her conversation there is a TV in the background

the TV is literally playing the previous scene of Edward sucking out the venom and the cullens chucking dead james' limbs into the fire

and it just makes me laugh

also because her mum was in the room at some point asking her of she remembers how it happened while she's oblivious to it replaying behind her

And the English Lit student in me is screaming to analyse it only being visable when we see eddy boy feeling guilty because in this essay I will-

My latest comic for The Nib was written by my friend Mike Thompson- it’s his first published comics work! 

The Nib has been a steady source of income and a huge support to me and many other indie cartoonists for years. They publish amazing work, but will be cut loose by their financial backer in July. You can read the official post about it from editor Matt Bors here.  They are still running their kickstarter-funded print magazine, but have to put digital publishing on hiatus until they figure out their next steps. If you’ve been thinking about supporting their membership program, now would be a good time. They have levels from $2 to $40 per month. I really don’t want this to be my last Nib piece!

“Si yo fuera un ave, volaría temprano hasta un cable cerquita a tu casa… Y cantaría bonito y te despertaría Y tú, despabilado, saldrías a ver de dónde tanto alboroto. Entonces verías un pequeño pajarito amarillo con una ala atrofiada, pero que parece que sonríe desde el cable de luz de enfrente, feliz de que estés despierto y vivas en el mundo donde la gente se vuelve ave nada más para verte…”
