dandelion jelly time!
once again i am begging you guys: make dandelion jelly this year. it's incredibly delicious.
Ingredients
2 cups dandelion petals, lightly packed
4 cups water
4 cups sugar (2-3 if using low-sugar sure-set pectin)
2 Tbs. lemon juice
1 box powdered pectin
Instructions
Cut the green part of the flower off and place the petals into a quart canning jar. (i have the best success cutting them in half with my thumbnail then slicing just above the seed line)
Pour 4 cups of boiling water over the flower petals. Allow them to cool and then place into the fridge for 24 hours.
Strain the flowers well and squeeze out as much dandelion tea as possible. Using a clean dishcloth is better than a metal strainer.
Place into a large pot 3 1/2 to 4 cups of dandelion tea, lemon juice, and pectin. Bring it to a boil.
Add sugar and return to a boil while stirring. Boil the jelly for 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat and pour into canning jars. Let the jars cool to room temp then pop them in the fridge to set overnight.
Dandelion jelly lasts 3+ months in the fridge and 6+ months in the freezer though I've unfrozen perfectly fine jelly 9 months later. This isn't a good recipe for shelf-stable, room-temperature preserves, though. Keep the jars cool as much as you can.

Randomly thinking about that one fancy bamboo kitchen sink I saw for sale years ago where the manufacturer warned not to let the sink get wet for long periods of time or water damage could occur.
A kitchen sink.

Today is a big day for tiaras so everyone brace yourselves.
All three Scandinavian monarchies will be bringing out their tiaras with a state visit from Denmark to Sweden and one from Moldova to Norway.
The highlight will of course be seeing which tiara Queen Mary chooses for her first state visit. I can't decide if it will be the Pearl Poirรฉ Tiara or the Ruby Parure Tiara. The pearls are probably the second most important Danish tiara after the Emerald Parure Tiara that she debuted last week for a gala portrait but those can not be taken out of the country.
Or she may decide to stick with the rubies and save the pearls for the state visit to Norway in a few weeks. That spaces out the new tiaras a bit and the rubies were originally made for the first Bernadotte queen of Sweden so there's a great Swedish connection there.
The livestream for the Danish/Swedish state banquet starts at 7:15pm local time and you can watch it here.
Then it's also the Met Gala which usually provides a few tiara appearances depending on the theme. This year the Costume Institute's exhibition is titled 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion' and the dress code is 'The Garden of Time' inspired by the short story by J.G. Ballard. I think we will probably see a lot of flower crowns but hopefully a few of those flowers will be made out of gemstones.
Personally, I think It's the perfect opportunity to break out this tiara with a watch hidden behind the central flower. It was made circa 1960 and was last sold at Bonhams' in 2015 for 6,250 GBP. I just really want to see someone bending down so that their friend can check the time on their tiara.
The livestream for the Met Gala red carpet starts at 6:00pm local time and you can watch it here.

The spirit of the Hiccstrid gods mustโve possessed my soul last night, because I never shade my drawings to this extent. Iโm waaayyy too lazy for that, and yet, here we are. unreal.

โIf you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustleโ my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.

this post is going to stay up forever, but I'm going to reblog this post with a picture of a funny cat I drew wearing big boots. the reblog that has the cat in it will only be available for 5 minutes so good luck if you manage to see or find that version.
I'll add the cat to this post about a minute after posting this. I need to add an image description so it'll take a sec
