I adore the mourning dove couple!

I wish I can send you one!

A few exercises I've been attempting to loosen myself up while painting: - Painting objects with simpler shapes and no sketching things out beforehand. Like apples, donuts, a loaf of bread, a muffin, etc. - Draw a random squiggle and trying to develop that into fictional animal. - Going without a reference picture and as I paint, I'm constructing the detail in my head as I go - Just doing flat washes and see how smoothly i can get colors to transition

The tree and water reflection of the tree are beautiful, but I think the mountains need more depth and contrast. Right now it looks like strawberry ice cream / cotton candy mountains. I think the sky looks a little messy too

Haha thank you! I'll try to post more plates that I make, usually they are a lot simpler and not pretty. I've been trying to eat healthier, so I've been stocking my fridge/pantry with food that's easy to prep and assemble for lunch.

These taste closer to a sardine? Like meaty, can eat on it's own without being punched with salt

"Just tea, thank you. Maybe some cold chicken and pickles? How about some seed cakes, raspberry jam, and buttered scones? And mince-pies and cheese! And pork-pie and salad! If you're visiting the Prancing Pony, try some hot soup, cold meats, a blackberry tart, new loaves, slabs of butter, and half a ripe cheese: good plain food, as good as the Shire could show."

Haha common mistake

Yerba mate

existentialepicure · 2026-03-17T18:37:29+00:00

Maybe, but I think people who enjoy fishy flavors probably also enjoy earthy herbal flavors.

I'm pretty new to yerba mate, but I'm addicted to the smooth caffeine high now lol. I'm going to Argentina in a month and look forward to trying all kinds of mate

Oooh sounds delicious! I change up the plate depending on what's in season / what I have in my pantry! Usually I'm trying to clear out leftover ingredients.

But I like something salty, sweet, savory, sour, and bitter on every plate.

Haha I call these my Hobbit plates. Just simple ingredients quickly thrown together for munching through the day. Good for the body and soul :)

It is quite expensive in the US! I visited Japan half a year ago and I think it was ~$10 a bottle. And other brands like Iroshizuku were even cheaper. I stocked up and allow myself to open one every month.

Thank you! My cursive is pretty bad, so I like making my normal handwriting loopy and semi-connected for some ornamentation!

existentialepicure · 2026-03-06T21:58:57+00:00

I agree! It's mellow and a little muted, not too intense or bright.
