Stewed Pompion (Squash soup)

This recipe is a bit more labor intensive than others I’ve posted but it was well worth it in the end and will absolutely make you feel like a medieval maid toiling away over a steaming cauldron (slow cooker).

One of the earliest recipes from the New England region, first written down around 1600:

“But the Housewives manner is to slice them when ripe, and cut them into dice, and so fill a pot with them of two or three gallons, and stew them upon a gentle fire a whole day, and as they sink, they fill again with fresh Pompions, not putting any liquor to them; and when it is stew'd enough, it will look like bak'd apples; this they Dish, putting Butter to it, and a little Vinegar, (with some Spice, as Ginger, &c.) which makes it tart like an Apple, and so serve it up to be eaten with Fish or Flesh.”

Ingredients:

• 4 cups butternut squash meat, chopped into smallish cubes

• 4 cups vegetable broth

• 4 tbsp butter

• 3 tbsp raw or brown sugar

• 1 tsp ground ginger

• 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

• 1/2 tsp curry powder

• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

• 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar

• In a mortar and pestle: 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp cumin seeds, 1/4 tsp rosemary, 1/2 tsp basil, 1/2 tsp salt, a few peppercorns and grind to powder

Part one: Place all of the above ingredients into your slow cooker on low/medium. Once that is going, start on part two.

Ingredients continued:

• 1 tbsp EVOO

• 1 small sweet onion, diced

• 2 carrots, chopped (about 1 cup)

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Part two:

In a skillet heat oil and sauté onion until it is becoming translucent. Add the carrots and cook 3 minutes, add garlic and stir for about a minute or two.

Add this to the slow cooker.

Now you can pretty much leave it for the day, begin this process early so it will be ready by dinner time. Give it about 8 hours on low/medium then carefully blend until smooth using an immersion blender or by carefully ladling it into a regular blender.

Return to slow cooker and add 1/4 cup of cream (or half and half for a lighter version), salt and pepper to taste.

Thin with vegetable broth if it becomes too thick.

Vegan substitutions: Swap in vegan butter for butter and canned coconut milk for the cream.

The Moon Phases

- compiled from my personal Grimoire | last updated: 13.07.18 -

New Moon: It is a time for new beginnings. Cleansing. But it is also a good time for cursing as well as for banishing. Oh, and divination. If you want to do a spell that needs a lot of planning, this is the perfect time for doing so.

Waxing Crescent: The Waxing Crescent is a good time for attraction spells. Attracting friendship, success and luck. It is also a good time for spells regarding growth.

First Quarter: It´s a time of balance. Spells for motivation are perfect in this phase. As well as in the previous phase, it is also a good time for spells that regard growth.

Waxing Gibbous: A good time for health spells and inviting positivity. I like to do cleansing at this point and to perform spells that need some clarity.

Full Moon: At this point the moon is completely illuminated and very powerful. Divination can be done perfectly at this time. Banishing and healing. The Full Moon is the best time to charge things and yourself.

Waning Gibbous: Release and letting go. (un)doing bindings as well as making space for new things. You can organise yourself at this point, divination is a good tool for doing so.

Last Quarter: Banishing. breaking bad habits and doing curses and hexes. It is a good time to perform spells that want to hide something or someone.

Waning Crescent: This is a time for reflection. Good for spells regarding memory and learning, education and career as well as success. Also a good time to research.

seriously if you really must post about "not all cops", make your own post. please do not go on a black person's post where they're talking about their very valid and understandable fears of police and racism and police brutality and preach it there. it's disrespectful as hell and derails the point. they deserve and need a space where they can talk about it and raise awareness or just vent their feelings without getting us white people saying that not all cops are bad. just make your own post.

we need to be better allies, especially now.

bindrunes!! 

tbh it doesn't rly hurt teenagers to incorrectly id as ace like... what's the worst than could happen? they don't have sex till they're older?? lol
