    My Very Last Blog Post - Goodbye

    As of now, I think the time has come to finally abandon my Fimfiction page. I don't particularly want any involvement in the MLP community any longer and I hold no interest in continuing to be an active member. While my page remains open to everyone, I've logged out permanently and don't think I'll return to it or use it again. No more blogs, no more stories, no related content - it's over.

    I'm never going to be the person that... (Facts of life)

    I'm never going to be the person who goes out drinking with friends in the pub at the end of the week,
    I'm never going to be the person to enter a stable relationship,
    I'm never going to be the person to cry for those who won't cry for me,
    I'm never going to be the person who gives up over a little tough break,

    Either stay or leave. Don't play me about.

    If you're staying, stay.

    If you're playing around with me, kindly fuck off. I'm not in the mood.

    Either follow or don't follow. It really is that simple. Make up your mind already.

    Thank you. :ajsleepy:

    Need a distraction from your low mood? Here's an old photo of my guinea pig :3

    Because I'm sad and because my guinea pig is an adorable fwubby enchanted squeaking potato, here's Oscar laying down and snuggling into his brother, Guinness's guinea bum. Don't ask why he did that, just look at how cute he's being. Requires all the ear rubs. Should have called him Sir Purrsalot. 🐹

    ''Applejack, are you gay?'' French Translation - if you're interested.

    Back when I introduced this story a few years ago, I was approached by a French Translator called Rainbowsoarin007 and they requested me to allow them to turn my story into a French translation for viewers in that part of the world and those who speak it.

T.O.A.S.T.

and

J.A.M.

🍞 + πŸ“ = TOAWST 'ND JAYM!








(Context: as a joke, we were tasked with a stupid healthy eating unit in college to plan out a balanced diet. Deciding to take the piss, me and my friend were coming up with stupid and childish things to put down. Me, being the most immature and random of the pair of us, put under the breakfast section 'TOAWST AND JAYM!'. When my tutor came over to check on our progress, her face went blank for a moment before she had a 'wtf' expression coming on with a bit of amusement to it, and me and my friend wouldn't stop giggling. PS: I love toast with strawberry jam. I'll live for it and die for it, especially on 50/50 bread. And that's the end of the joke. Are your brain cells still fried from my lunacy? :rainbowlaugh::ajsmug:)

Ah I get it.

Also, I do as well. Curious, ever had boysenberry jam?

5285264
No, can't say I have.

You ever had Cloudberry jam? It's Swedish! Can buy it from IKEA.

5285523
I would very much recommend it


I do wish to try that, what a fun sounding name

Wait, do you mean blackberry jam? Is that what a boysenberry is also known as? If so, yes, I have tried it. Over here, we call them brambles, too. We had two patches in the back garden at my grandmother's house before she annoyingly cut them down and we now have no means of self-sufficiently sourcing ingredients for cooking. Apparently, great grandma used to make jam with them. We used to harvest them, freeze them before stewing them on the stove and making pies with them. It's a bit of a family tradition. (Well, it used to be until they were cut from the root. I miss it somewhat.)

5286662
I don't think they are the same.

That sounds like it was fun. Cooking with ingredients you grow in your own yard.

It was. When we were all younger and everyone used to come around to gran's house, we'd all take bowls from the kitchen and enter the allotment to pick brambles. We often got pricked by thorns and scratched and cut on the hands, but it was a fun time. We'd save some for ourselves and my auntie would often take her own bowl or two home. We also grew rhubarb, so gran used to make that into pies or give it to friends and family to cook with. Our neighbour has a raspberry patch, so back when we had this going on, my gran would trade a bowl of raspberries for brambles to cook with. We stopped doing it since they don't talk anymore.

Quite a lot of people have allotments in their gardens in England. We're a rural country, so it's a common thing. You'll often go through a town like mine and find fields full of sheds, greenhouses and big allotments where many people share the same land to grow crops for personal use. And I tell you, I do miss it quite a lot, even though I never actually ate one of the pies I made. I prefer making Bakewell tarts.

5289032
that...that really does sound nice, like a wonderful lovely community.

What is a Bakewell tart?

5289409
...Son, you shouldn't have said that. My brain froze when I read you don't know what a Bakewell is! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! That's like saying you don't know what a battenburg is!

Go on Google Images and type Bakewell Tart into the search bar and you'll find out. It's basically a sweet pastry with white icing, a creamy, almond-based centre with a layer of raspberry or strawberry jam in the bottom of it, sometimes with a cherry on top of the icing. How in the world do you not know what one of these is?

I've seen them before now that I have that image, I have seen then, just never got to try them

If you can't find one near you in a bakery, then they're so easy to make at home! I used to make them all the time, often with lemon rather than jam! (Lemon is better, in my opinion.) The only thing that gets me and insults true bakers everywhere are those people that can't be bothered to make a pastry which is at such an easy level a baby can do it and opt for shop-bought pastry instead. Like, what are you saving time for? Are you a chef? Are you in a hurry for a school bake sale? Taking your time with baking is what ensures a good taste! Don't rush.

That rant aside, if you really want to try it, look up a recipe online or buy a baking book. There are literally hundreds of recipes for them! I think you'll enjoy it, and strawberry jam works best. Not really a fan of raspberry.

5291454
mmm, lemon. I do enjoy lemon.
And I 100% agree,I adore home made goods.

I will be sure to try making one. My mother and I recently made Creme brulee and bread pudding with whiskey sauce. Cooking has been one of the activities that has helped us keep our sanity up, right next to walks and making some cocktails.

5291677
You had me at ''whiskey sauce''. I think I love you! :rainbowkiss::rainbowlaugh:

CrΓ©me BruleΓ©, huh? Sounds really nice. I've never had it, if you can believe it. Wanted to try making it, but it looks like such a delicate operation for someone as clumsy as me in the kitchen. I agree on baking being good therapy practice for your sanity. I've done that again after a while and found it to be relaxing.

5291847
That stuff was divine, utterly divine. :D ^W^

It wasn't that complicated honestly. The first time we tried it we thought it came out just short of perfect. Second time we were a wee bit impatient and rushed it on letting the creme cook on the stove until it bubbled. Because of this it came out soupy that time. I was happy this was the second attempt, and we knew we could do it right as the first time turned out well.
I'm grateful to be able to do this in these times
