YULE COMMUNITY EVENT 2023

I want to share a nice Portuguese recipe. In my family, we eat this every Yule. :) they are called Azevias de Batata Doce. It's a pastry filled with sweet potato.

Azevias de Batata Doce
  • Ingredients
    • For the Filling:
      - 500g sweet potato
      - 250g sugar
      - 1 tsp cinnamon
      - Zest of 1 lemon
      - 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
    • For the Dough:
      - 500g all-purpose flour
      - 100g lard (or butter)
      - 1 egg
      - Salt, as needed
      - Water, as needed
  • Instructions
    1. Cook the Sweet Potato: Start by boiling the sweet potatoes in water until soft. Once cooked, drain them and mash into a puree.
    2. Prepare the Filling: In a pan, mix the sweet potato puree with sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, and flour. Cook over heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture comes away from the bottom of the pan. Remove the lemon zest and let it cool.
    3. Make the Dough: Mix the flour with the lard, egg, a pinch of salt, and enough water to form a smooth and elastic dough. Let it rest for about 30 minutes.
    4. Assemble the Azevias: Roll out the dough on a floured surface until thin. Place small portions of the filling on the dough, fold it over, and cut into half-moon shapes, sealing the edges well.
    5. Frying: Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the azevias until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
    6. Finishing Touches: Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon to taste before serving.

I love sweet potato, but never heard of it as desert before! I'll have to try this :)
 
The holiday cheer still lingers and there's no reason not to bake some gingerbread men, women, pets, pentagrams or whatever shaped cookie cutters you've got. After the fun is done, the children are in bed and the resulting disaster in the kitchen is at least partially sorted out I take the last ball of dough out of the fridge and make a giant cookie for myself (or if you have someone special you'd rater give it to or share it with it's even better but...
... if not, just enjoy it alone in a cozy atmosphere :(

- 300gr flour (any kind will do but soft flour is better suited for this kind of dough)

- 100gr brown sugar

- 100gr butter

- 3 tsp honey

- 1 egg or 2 eggs if they're small

- 1tsp baking powder

- powdered ginger and cinnamon (as much as you want but usually 2-3 tsp of each is enough)


Combine dry ingredients, add the eggs and the melted but not hot butter with honey and you'll get a nice moist ball of greasy dough. Leave that in the fridge for 15min at least. Spread out on a floured surface and go nuts. The leftover dough from between the shapes should be put back in the fridge to cool off for another 15min before making another batch.

Bake for around 8 to 10 minutes in a preheated oven at 170°c.

I prefer decorating with a chocolate - coconut oil mix over frosting but hey, they're your cookies 🍪, you can put bacon on top if you want, right?

It's really easy to make and hard to stop eating.

This is a re-post. I accidentally placed this under the Yule 2023 Set demon ritual instead of here where the story telling is supposed to be.

A short story of how the gods kept me from starting over:

About 2 years ago in May of 2021 the gods placed an impenetrable force field around me to save my life. I will never forget this and while I hesitate to write this from my words being misunderstood I also realize there is much to gain for members who are worried.

DO NOT GET COMPLACENT BECAUSE OF WHAT I WRITE HERE!!!!

You can be obsessive with your Aura of protection and even still there will arrive a day when the intervention of the gods will be necessary so long as we don't have fully Satanic communities with armed protection, and I do wait aggressively and impatiently for this day to come. I will never be able to repay them for this except in infinity.

I can't go into detail as I don't have all of the devil just yet. I had been losing sleep in the days coming up to this and I had felt like something was very wrong the whole day. Your AOP can alert you to threats.

I was going all out in my training and maxing out on abs and then going into backwards bends between sets in the sun which is my routine for firing up my solar plexus. I was also stating affirmations for protection while holding the backward bend. I always felt like Japans flag was symbolic of the tremendous expansion of the will. To bleed like a dying sun is most honorable, especially when one thinks their time is about to run out. When I was finished I decided to go take my dog to the dog park and when I came back I felt panicked. Something was seriously wrong and I had no clue what.

I felt as though someone was near the door so I went around to my kitchen to peak through the window to see if anyone was by the front door.

FORCE FIELD!

WTF?!?!?!??

What would be you first thought if you all of a sudden had a force field limit your movement? Mine was: "holy shit the enemy perfected force field technology and I am fucked".

I pushed against what felt like a gravity field with all of my might. Then I held one hand back and pushed with just my left arm as I was starting to lose balance fighting against the field.

A voice: "Calm down you are witnessing a miracle".

Me: "It would have been nice to now that first so I didn't panic.Why didn't you say so?"

Silence

I knew the answer and they knew that I knew the answer so nothing was said. If I had been told I would 100% went around out back to see what it is that was waiting for me out front. I can be too curious for my own good sometimes and it would have gotten me killed. The gods have given me more info since then and its something that I have to stay quiet about for now, but I'm also aware that it majorly backfired on the enemy.

Since then I do not worry anymore about my safety, but It almost feels though there is a certain edge that I am lacking by not feeling as though I am in danger reacting to it with intense do or die training. It was a turning point in my life and I will miss the days before.

It is not so much that I did not believe the gods are incapable of miracles, but more that I might not be deserving of one. I the mid 2000's the gods were much more "physically" present before an ex high priest gave the call toward spiritual warfare. There was much more interaction back in those days and I would witness them move things in my room, touch me, and communicate directly. It almost feel like a past life it was so long ago. I always felt the we had to deal with these sorts of issues ourselves and if it ever came down to it with shots being fired that I would be dead. They are dealing the with enemy ET on their level and we are dealing with the enemy here on earth on our own, or at least I thought that is how it was going to be. I'm glad I was wrong.
