* The breakdown of the chapters
* The variety and creativity of the recipes
* That the recipes appear to be ones that children and adults would like
* That there were several recipes I would like to try making
What I didn’t like:

BLURB
Vegan specialist Harriet Porterfield, creator of Bo’s Kitchen, presents a visually stunning cookbook bursting with 70 vibrant plant-based recipes to boost immunity, improve mood and nourish mind and body.
Eating the rainbow is a natural rule of life; we are always told that the more colors in your diet, the better for you it will be. This is because different plants contain different pigments, or phytonutrients, and the more vibrant their color, the more of these nutrients they contain!
Bo’s Kitchen has transformed this lesson into a bright and beautiful invitation to embrace the natural goodness of colorful ingredients, turning the hues of the rainbow into delicious and nutritious recipes that look and taste great.
From Black Forest smoothie bowls and golden chickpea pancackes to sunshine pizza and rainbow buddha bowls, all70 of these all-natural recipes are bursting with color and nutrients, tailored to deliver health-boosting benefits and presented alongside advice on topics from mindful eating to the scientific benefits of specific ingredients.
Eat the Rainbow contains sections on:
Bright breakfasts, smoothies and juices, from blue coconut shakes to chia and beetroot mousse parfaits and rye aquafaba rainbow waffles.
Magical meals for on the go, like the green goddess tart, sushi sandwiches with pickled beetroot or sweet and spicy pho.
Kaleidoscope salads, sides and appetisers to bring color to your day, like the avocado maki, sesame and spinach rice balls or the rhubarb, strawberries and cherries galettes.
Hearty helpings to warm your soul, like golden masala roti with curried carrot falafel or roasted pepper pasta with crispy spiced chickpeas.
Delicious Desserts for the sweet-toothed, including matcha and blackberry curd tarts and raw vanilla donuts with blueberry cashew frosting.
These delicious, colorful recipes will brighten your day and transform the way you eat, making this vibrant cookbook a tasty and nutritious must-have for any health-conscious kitchen shelf.

The Ultimate Grimoire Guide
So! I have been seeing a ton of grimoire ideas and thought I’d stuff them all together. A lot of ideas are from @manifestationsofasort, @banebite, and @pigeonflavouredcake. Check them out! They have a ton of cool stuff there.
What Do I Use For My Grimoire?
You can use anything for a grimoire! For a physical one, journals, binders, and notebooks are good. For digital ones, Notion, Tumblr, Docs, and even just your file folder are great.

Swatched some stretchy cast-ons and bind-offs for 1x1 ribbing for a pair of leg warmers:
Left to right, top to bottom:
Alternating German twisted CO, sewn BO.
Double-tail long-tail CO (should have done alternating but didn't think of it), super stretchy crochet BO (basically Jeny's surprisingly stretchy BO but done with a crochet hook).
Latvian CO, Latvian BO.
Bulgarian CO, Kitchener/Italian BO.
I suspect I will go with swatch #4: the cast-on is pretty, and the bind off doesn't flare.

Poor Abandoned Toaster Waffle...
Here’s one of the most random House Of Wax HC’s I’ve ever come up with - the infamous ‘abandoned toaster waffle’ in the kitchen of the Sinclair family home was never intended to be abandoned, Bo and Vinny just ‘found’ something much better to eat...
After having spent the last of the money they’d scavenged from the wallets of a trio of lost backpackers who’d wandered through Ambrose on whiskey and a new set of high-end paint brushes, Bo and Vinny had, through sheer desperation, decided to split the last only slightly freezer-burnt toaster waffle in lieu of begging Lester to take pity on them and do a grocery run.
That is, until they saw a red pickup truck pull up to the service station from the kitchen window.
A young couple, married for less than a week, had run low on gas while looking for the perfect place for a romantic picnic, and neither one of them had suspected a thing right until the moment the twins took them down, Bo slamming the husband’s head against the driver’s side door of his own truck while Vincent, who’d crept around from the side, came up behind the wife and neatly slit her throat.
Fast and efficient, if not a bit...messy.
Aside from a couple hundred dollars in cash recovered from their wallets, Bo and Vincent ate like kings that day from all the food that had been packed into the large Coleman cooler in the back of the pickup, and the poor freezer-burnt waffle was (understandably) forgotten.
RIP abandoned toaster waffle...

I, unlike the heros foretold in stories long ago, who were cursed by gods and filled with righteous fury, who set forth on valiant quests to rid themselves of their flesh poisoned by ichor to rise anew like a Phoenix, am the equivalent of a wet and whimpering purse dog and frankly I don't deserve any of this

Daily Spell: July 9th
Spell for Protection on the Water
You’ll Need:
A gold coin
A piece of hemp rope
July is one of the most popular months for boating. After all, the sun is out, the water is warm, and if you are lucky enough to have access to watercraft, it’s the perfect time of the year to get out and enjoy the day. During the seafaring heyday of centuries past, sailors believed that gold served as a protective element during voyages. Some of them wore gold earrings to keep them safe from falling overboard, since at that time most people couldn’t swim. Use a bit of gold to protect your boat and its passengers.
After all the passengers get on the boat, but before casting off, use the rope to secure the coin to the bow side of the mast, making sure the coin is completely covered. As you wrap the rope around the mast and the coin, say “Protection for this boat, keeping it wortby. Protection for the passengers, keeping us safe. Protection for it all, that we may return home again.”
Even after coming back to land, leave the coin in place to keep your vessel safe in your absence.
