Martin: Sorry It Took Me So Long To Meet Up With You. I Broke Down On The Way Here.

Martin: Sorry it took me so long to meet up with you. I broke down on the way here.

Log-a-log: Oh, is your car ok?

Martin: Car?

I ordered one already. You’re amazing, Lottie ☺️

LostMousemaid - Etsy

Shop Redwall-inspired Merch by LostMousemaid located in Oklahoma, United States.

I finally opened an Etsy shop! There's literally just one listing now, but I think it's pretty awesome--this vinyl sticker of Martin the Warrior's sword!

Redwall has my heart now and forever--and this illustration is my favorite in the entire series--so I had to carve this interpretation when practicing linocuts.

Note: this image is clearly inspired by the iconic illustration by Troy Howell. I have his permission to sell this interpretation.

My loves

Re-read Pearls of Lutra recently, did a few doodle throughout. Here’s Romsca and Rasconza.

The fact that there are isn’t a 100k slowburn fic that takes place over the course of the Bellmaker and follows the romance between Joseph and Finnbarr is a crime

People would blame Gonff but I’m suspicious of Martin’s actions

Bella: What did you two do?

Martin:

Gonff:

Bella: You're not in trouble, I just need to know if I have to lie to the police again or not.

Sul-sul! On this lovely rainy summers day, another entry from the Redwall Cookbok enters our lives- Squirrelmum’s Blackberry and Apple Cake! 

(If youd like to follow along, the original recipe is at the bottom <3)-

MY NAMES CROSS NOW LETS COOK LIKE ANIMALS

SO, “what goes in to a Blackberry and Apple Cake?” YOU MIGHT ASK

All-purpose flour

Almond flour (or finely ground almonds)

Baking powder

Unsalted butter

Apple juice

Eggs

Vanilla extract

A cooking apple (like Granny Smith)

Fresh or frozen blackberries

Raw or granulated sugar

Salt

AND, “what does Blackberry and Apple Cake taste like?” YOU MIGHT ASK

Tastes a lil fruity. Like me. You can laugh now.

Tart

A little smokey but only because I dont have a closer word to describe

Spongey-buttery consistency, muffin-like

Very rich (maybe due to almond powder?)

The crust tastes almost like apple pancakes

Makes your kitchen smell like jam

I could see this being a good choice for a birthday cake

Would probably pair well with powdered sugar on top

. Used ground almonds

. Used salted butter and pinch of salt instead of teaspoon

———————————————————————————————————–

This cake is delicious and entirely unassuming in appearance.

This is the part where I’d give my in-depth thoughts n such, but honestly? Yeah not much to say here. Its like the pillsbury doughwhore croissants. They’re good and does it really have to be anything else? This cake is entirely satisfied with who it is. This cake knows that a life well-lived is whatever life it lives. A hard boiled egg. A corkboard. A little black dress. And Squirrelum’s Apple and Blackberry Cake. I do recommend you make this one if only because I’m sure, barring any lethal fruit allergies, it could never offend you.

A solid 7/10 (with 1 being food that makes one physically sick and 10 being food that gives one a lust for life again.)
