Herb & Fable has Booze..!

Well… yes and no. There’s Vodka but it’s not really for drinking, it’s for making tinctures.

In this first instance you’ll be making a Red Clover tincture in the new processor, a 250ml Kilner jar.

As in the physical world you need an awful lot of flowers to make a small amount of liquid. In this case you will need 20 red clover flowers to go with 3 shots of Vodka, which means having 5 clover beds out at once if you want to grow them all at once.

HnF_red_clover_bed:
HnF_flowers_red_clover requires the following ingredients for planting:
HnF_red_clover_seeds: 2
water: 2
It will take 30.0 minutes to make

If you do choose to try drinking the Vodka (by setting it to be Produce rather than Ingredient on first click), you can’t then use the rest in tinctures.

I’ll leave my open bottle on the bar in my tavern if anyone wants to try.

When you use your Vodka for it’s intended purpose, you’ll receive your bottle of tintcture

HnF_kilner_jar_250ml: You gave 3 of item: HnF_100_vodka & 20 of item: HnF_flowers_red_clover.

As you can see above, you can also make a Stinging Nettle tincture that needs the following ingredients and to save you working it out, that 1440 minutes to make is a whole 24 hours.

HnF_kilner_jar_250ml:
HnF_s_nettle_tincture requires the following ingredients:

Emerging from Hibernation to Cocoa and Chocolate Strawberries

It’s now been a month since I wrote anything here, I was hibernating. Everyone else was blogging or vlogging their Christmas and New Year’s messages while I just curled up and tried to avoid as much of it as possible after Christmas day.

During that time there’s been a few new releases from Cinnamon and Herb & Fable I’d like to share with you all. Today will be the Cinnamon items and the Herb & Fable ones will be coming soon.

The Chocolate Kit lets you make 6 chocolate bars you can consume, or use as ingredients to make two different types of chocolate drinks. Then there’s the Fondue set that allows you to make chocolate coated strawberry skewers.

Chocolate kit recipe stages:

My favourite thing in the chocolate kit is the Mexican chocolate drink, which comes in a huge bowl, now if you were presented with one of these, would you not have a maniacal grin on your face too?

Fondue kit ingredients:

Image from Gyazo

The fondue kit lets you make a plate of 6 chocolate strawberries, or individual skewers, but if you do make an indidual one, you’ll run out of strawberries to make the plateful, the plate also requires you to make 2 lots of chocolate sauce so that you have enough in your pouch for that many strawberries.

Image from Gyazo

I do have some other news of things happening in my Second Life that will be sharing in due course near the end of the month. This may interest Herb & Fable players, as well as any other Witchy folks.

You can get all the chocolate goodies at the Cinnnamon store: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Black%20Mire/191/126/2296

Hucks Office Christmas Party 2025

At the weekend I attended my first virtual Office Christmas Party, hosted by Huckleberry Hax.

Forced Festive Fun season is upon us, and what better way can there be to celebrate than the annual office drunken bash with the very people you can’t wait to get away from over the holidays. That’s right, my friends, it’s time for Huck’s office Christmas party 2025

I don’t think I really need to say more, the Flickr album says enough:

Santa’s Saucy Servants?

We’re all familiar with “Santa’s Little helpers”, a group of elves or the like that help Santa get ready for his busy night’s trip around the world delivering presents.

But what about when he gets back, who’s waiting for him? What if it happens to be these ladies? Santa’s Saucy Servants maybe.

I’ll leave that up to your imaginations. If you fancy having a cozy little shack to hang out with your Mr or Mrs Claus, head over to the Christmas Expo!

Christmas Expo 2025 is Open!

The Christmas Expo 2025 is now open for your shivery enjoyment. The Expo is an American Cancer Society event whose aim is to bring the Gift of Hope to childre with Cancer, it will run until 7th of December.

I found this sexy skating outfit, but it’s a little chilly in the snow if you’re not whizzing about the shops to keep warm, so I came into one of the many little hot drinks places dotted throughout the Expo to keep warm.

Herb & Fable: Poppies and Marigolds

Julula has been very busy lately before and since the Samhain Ritual, so I have plenty to show you.

We have a couple of new plants we can grow and from those some crafting of accessories and produce.

  • New plants: Poppies and Marigolds
  • New Processor: Knife & Chopping board
  • New items & produce: Copper wire, Poppy pin, Poppy hair accessory, Marigold tea and Marigold cleanser (as in one you drink to cleanse your system)

Marigold beds let you grow multiple items, leaves, flowers and roots to create different things, the Poppy bed lets you grow flowers and seed heads.

Image from Gyazo

First the Poppies, you can use the Crafting table to make the hairpiece and the broach pin with some copper wire.

Unlike other plants, when you take the Poppy flowers into your Pouch, the flowers don’t get the red hovertext for composting, they’re too pretty to throw away. They make nice decor instead, like those behind me in the header image.

Note: you get 3 copper wire in a pack and a broach or pin requires 1 each. Grown poppies give you 6 flowers, so you’ll need extra wire to make the most of your Poppy leaves.

Since the Marigold beds let you grow more things, you can do more with them. To make the tea you use the leaves and the flowers in your Teapot, along with some honey.

Image from Gyazo

Making the Cleanser is done by using the new Chopping board & Knife to cut it up, then heat it in the Saucepan with some water.

Note: You get 5 Marigold seeds in a packet, but each product requires 2, so you’ll need 2 packets to make everything described.

Last but not least there’s the Recycling Unit, I’d accumulated an awful lot of “waste” items waiting for this release, when it came to rezzing them out, I realised I actually had more than I thought!
