Night Parade!

Another year has come and gone, and so has another Night Parade!

I may or may not have been thinking about putting together a Jarlaxle outfit, so I may have put on some of the pieces for that to go to the parade (not full Jarlaxle though, no makeup no eyepatch etc)

Tragically the hat lost the ostrich feather, erum I mean gaudy feather of an Underdark bird, somewhere in the parade

All in all it was a great time! Generic pseudo-Renaissance-era outfit was fun.

Earl Grey Pie

I saw this video from Joshuacooksthendraws about Earl Grey Pie and it sounded really good so I decided to try it: https://youtu.be/2e2kBQx_ejA?si=m34StmSwTtQbe80I

And it turned out amazing. It is very rich and delicious, and the recipe does make two pies so I also gave one to a friend (as pastry cream with starch cannot be frozen)
