I'm not sure. It's regulated to all hell, so I'd probably have to go across state lines and bring it back or something, if Ohio even sells raw milk. I should check because I'm honestly pretty close to the border.

I know <3 I just feel really bad because I always got you replies really fast but I just feel like shit. I'm fatigued and my brain is a foggy mess and everything hurts and the pain killers just make me feel like a zombie. I didn't do anything but lay down today and I hate it.

Oh, I'm so glad you liked it c: It's a really good recipe. Did you like the ricotta with, or find it useless?

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Yeah, it's supposed to be good for asthma and all kinds of other stuff. You'd use it like you would regular milk. I'm not sure what the taste is like, but I can't imagine it's horrible. I know it's sold in your state, but you can only get it from certain dairies around here.

I think it's going to make them look bad, haha. I mean, the Katniss and Peeta love story was a big deal, even if it was a lie but I can't imagine something like that would make anyone look good. They're gonna be alright though <3 little cuties.

Also, I apologize for my slowness. It's so hot and humid here and my body hurts so bad. I'm loaded up on painkillers right now, so I'm going to try and get you something tonight before the wait gets too ridiculous. I feel like a bad partner.

Ooh, that sounds really good. I love cheese, haha. If I happen to come across it at some point, I'll get some c:

I don't know if it's that they can't cook, or if they don't want to so everything comes out bad? It's something that I enjoy and I like to share it with people but it's not for everyone. Although if I had to exist on frozen stuff and sandwiches, I'd probably want to learn how to cook anyway. That's awesome, though. I love the farmer's market. I'm currently trying to find a place that sells raw milk, or will deliver it down here. Most dairies that do are like 2 hours away or you have to join a co-op and it's like, I just want milk, not the cow?

Lmao. I feel like people are going to faint when they find out and then feel bad for Peeta even though he doesn't really care. But lol how else are they going to get gifts?

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Oh, haha. Then that salad isn't for you. Midnight Moon? That sounds interesting. What was it like?

You're welcome! I hope you like it, haha. It's nice to share recipes with someone who actually cooks. I think carrots would work just fine in it and add some extra crunch. I like ricotta but I just didn't feel like it did anything for the pasta when the pesto was enough? Although potatoes and kielbasa sound amazing, not gonna lie. When I was painting my grandma's place, my grandpa made something similar but it was a stew and oh god, it was so good.

That's true, haha. I just feel like he's constantly holding himself back but it's like, they're pretty much fucked anyway and he might as well do what he wants? Especially if Katniss wants kisses <3 Prim and Gale can't be the only cuties.

Do you like feta? You could probably leave the Kalamata olives out, or sub in black olives/another vegetable. Finding the other recipe was easier than I thought, haha. Yaay for organization!

Summer Pesto Penne (Serves 6):
Bring liberally salted water to a boil in a sauce pot.
In the food processor, add:
1 cup packed parsley
1/2 cup packed mint leaves
1/3 cup walnut halves
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 smashed garlic cloves (or more, this is pretty much to taste, imo)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Pulse until ALMOST smooth and then with the motor still running, slowly steam in 1/3 cup of olive oil then 1/4 cup of water until smooth.

Cook 1lb of penne in the salted water according to package directions (I've done this with rigatone and farfalle, but I image any ribbed noodle would work?)
4 Minutes before pasta is totally cooked, add in 1 bunch of asparagus cut into 1 inch pieces.
2 Minutes before noodles are done, add in 2 cups of frozen peas
Drain.

Toss pasta and veggies with the pesto and 1/4 tsp salt (optional)
Top with 1/3 cup of ricotta cheese.
(The ricotta didn't do much for me, so I usually leave it out but maybe you can find a better brand and make it work, haha.)

I'm toying with the idea of Haymitch kissing her. He doesn't want to make Peeta's job harder, but damn that got to him <3

Was it you that didn't like Greek food? I've got a really great salad recipe that doesn't have lettuce in it and it's really perfect for summer. There's also a spring pea and asparagus pasta that's really good, but I'll have to hunt for the actual recipe. I don't know it off the top of my head like the salad.

Here for it c: Katniss is so sweet sometimes <3

Beyond a Fire's Embers

It's not a huge deal c: Like I said, I should probably eat better anyway and trying to find a new nut-butter isn't at the top of my priority list right now.

Beyond a Fire's Embers

I don't think we have a Trader Joe's around here, haha. I think I told you that our closest Whole Foods is like 45 minutes away.

Someone told me to try something that's like peanut butter, but it's made out of sunflower seeds? The name escapes me. And yeah, at least I have cheese, haha.

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Idk, I really don't want to chance it because I haven't been to the doctor for it. All I need is to have a Reese's Cup and have my throat close and then die because I was being ridiculous, haha. As far as I know, other nuts are fine! I had almonds not too long after I found out I was allergic and that went normally, cashews and walnuts too. As long as nothing has been roasted or cooked in peanut oil, I think I'm good.
