Katastrophe incarnate

Musings from the mind of a being of chaos and wild magics.

Sitting by the kitchen table, sipping my wine as I admire my hard work coming together.

      The pasta I made earlier today going into the boiling water making a lovely soft splash inside the big pot. The thick red sauce I made from scratch with my father simmering next to the pasta pot. Mini eggplant medallions frying on the back burner. 
    The meal making me smile isn’t surprising, eggplant parmigiana is a favorite from childhood. 

   No the smile tonight has nothing to do with the food, delicious as it may be. 

   The smile is for the man finishing the preparation for me. Wearing my apron and a pair of old worn blue jeans. He came in half an hour ago, when he got back in from his chores on the farm. Saw what I was making and asked me to let him finish up while I changed and got comfortable.
      I returned to find my a glass of my homemade dandelion wine waiting for me. We both know by the time I finish my wine dinner will be served. By the time dinner is eaten, and the tidying has been finished, I’ll have a full plan for how I want to reward my thoughtful servant. 
      Good behavior must be encouraged after all! 

PlutoOrange - Real dandelion wine! I have never tried! But it was always special in my mind since i read about it (ray bradbury) 😃

Lady Kat​(dom female) - I make a batch every year except this past one, I’ve still got a half dozen bottles from last years left. It tastes like sunshine and spring before the pollen ruins things.

PlutoOrange - Is it a little bitter too? Or only sunshine? Magical..

Lady Kat​(dom female) - I make mine sweet, and it’s got a note of honey and citrus when done right. My recipe is an older one though.

PlutoOrange - Makes sense! I just needed to get rid of bitterness of the other parts of the flower in my imagination haha. Yellow ones themselves are a pure honey 😍 i almost enjoy the fact that i never tried it to keep a mystery in my heart.

We have a bar in berlin, where chaps make cocktails with fancy stuff like vetiver, things that i never knew can be used for food (or drink), but usually for a perfumes. And in Paris they do jam out of the violets (and it is amazing). If i wouldnt live modest way, i would be on a plane tonight to try all the dandelion wines from different states starting from illinois like in the book ☺️
