Sometimes you just capture a special moment. For some, it's perfect, for others, it's maybe a moment too soon. #KatPics #DogsOfMastodon #NotSafeFromWhimsy #KatsPets #Dog

Alright y'all. I appreciate you being cool about me taking weird sized breaks from posting. Here's a recipe I made yesterday and basically devoured because it was so good.

#CW for pics of #Food

Butter Rice Cakes

Makes 12 using a standard muffin tray

Ingredients
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter (140g)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (105g). I personally prefer closer to ⅓ cup (~65-70g)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 large egg (preferably at room temperature)
  • 1 cup whole milk (~224 g)
  • 2 ¼ cups mochiko (sweet rice flour) or glutinous rice flour (270g)

Notes:

  • The butter will be going in two places. 84g (6 Tbsp) will be going into a mixing bowl for making the batter, the rest will be used to coat the muffin tray. If you have a scale it's no problem splitting it after melting, but I know some of y'all might prefer to do it differently.
  • If you plan on using a mixer like a kitchen aid, the large bowl in step 2 is the bowl that will be used for mixing.
  • Beating is not the same as whisking.
  • Using an uncoated standard muffin tin will help ensure the most even browning (in theory)
Preparation Step 1

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Rack will go in the middle (if applicable)

Step 2
  • Heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium until just melted, stirring occasionally. 3 to 4 minutes or mabe longer depending on your stovetop.
  • Pour 6 tablespoons (84 grams) of the melted butter into a large bowl and add the sugar, vanilla, honey and salt.
  • Whisk until well blended, then set aside to cool. If using a kitchen aid, feel free to let cool while whisking. It just needs to be cool enough to not cook the egg.
Step 3
  • Meanwhile, brush the remaining 4 tablespoons (56 grams) melted butter into the cups of a standard muffin tin to generously and evenly coat.

Yes, some will pool at the bottom. It should be even across the different muffins, it's not expected to be even distribution in a single tin, but do make sure to brush the sides well.

Step 4
  • Whisk the egg into the sugar mixture until just blended, then whisk in the milk.
  • While whisking, gradually add the rice flour and whisk until smooth.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the buttered muffin cups (about ¼ cup/60 grams per cup if you used the full amount of sugar) and smooth the tops, if necessary.
  • Set the muffin tin on a sheet pan. This is to catch the overflow. It will likely happen.
Step 5
  • Bake on the middle rack for 7-10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 375 degrees and bake until dark golden brown, 28 to 40 minutes more.

Ovens can vary dramatically sometimes, so do check on it earlier in the second phase to avoid overbaking. We are basically frying the batter to get the outside nice and crisp.

Step 6
  • Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then lift each cake out with a small offset spatula or very thin paring knife and transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
  • Serve warm. Because their crust softens overnight, these cakes are best eaten the day they are made.

One fun recurring thing at #Blissfest is the "Mug Library." These folks are not officially affiliated with the festival or anything. They setup a wall of mugs hanging from nets. You can grab one, fill up with free coffee that runs on donations, and simply return the mug (into a tote, not the net) when you're done. At night time, the netting gets lit up all pretty, and you know what happens then. That's right, lights in the woods at night attract moths! Here's a picture of @SillyLily@lgbtqia.space and @xYourEmoGFx@lgbtqia.space coming across a moth that has been caught in the net of lights. In case you are wondering, there were indeed many instances of folks going "Follow the unicorn!" or "Everyone! Follow that rainbow penis! It's the only way we'll make it back to camp!" and variants thereof. I can neither confirm nor deny whether they made it to the destination they wanted or through a portal to the feywilds. #Blissfest2026 #KatPics #Unicorn #TalesOfAKat

While I definitely used different ties for load bearing wraps, I did sprinkle various decorative knots around camp. Especially with glow-in-the-dark paracord, as this has been pretty good at helping folks avoid running face first into trees when it's dark. Definitely not my tidiest work, but for a hasty one I think it was acceptable. I did do a properly tidy hashira anchor at some point but I think I forgot to actually take a picture of it :neofox_facepalm: And my various ties around camp _did_ get noticed. Yes, I have anecdotes in the queue somewhere. #Blissfest #KatPics #RopeArt #Blissfest2026

Pretty close to the "entrance" to our camp at #Blissfest2026, there was a tree stump that we decorated as a temporary surface. And took care to protect the moss from stray footsteps. The moss was not alone though. This fungus is colloquially known as "Dead Man's Fingers" and the scientific name is _Xylaria polymorpha_. It's a saprotrophic fungus that often grows on dead or dying wood. They are not edible, so I recommend you do _not_ put these digits in your mouth if you feel the urge. Some species are associated with black root rot in certain trees (like apple, pear, elm, etc), but mostly they are essential decomposers. #Blissfest #KatPics #Fungi #BeautifulDecay #Moss #Nature

There are always so many beautiful elements of nature one gets to experience when camping in northern Michigan. Here is a Small-Eyed Sphinx chilling out at #Blissfest2026 It was pretty warm and humid, so this one got the perfect opportunity to cool off with @AstralFox@lgbtqia.space #KatPics #Blissfest #Moth #Michigan

At #Blissfest this year, both my volunteer shifts went to the Kids area. We set up various arts and crafts for them to do. It lets them exercise some creativity, and sometimes we can sneak in useful skill learning. It's very freeform though. One of the activities ended up being a variant of "worry dolls" (Muñecas quitapenas). This is a doll that one can whisper their worries to and the doll will let them be free of the worries overnight. Practically, it is basically a confidant, and some of these kiddos had strong opinions on what makes such an entity trustworthy. Kids at this festival are feral to an extent (absolutely delightful). Here's one of many examples of their interesting creations. #GooglyEyes #Crafting #Blissfest2026 #KatPics

Apparently, I never shared this picture, only teased it. How rude of me. :neofox_box: This is a classic and manually cropped. I didn't get exposed to the DARE program as a child but was certainly brought up to speed eventually. I don't know if people ever wore these unironically, but just the thought feels weird to me. Since this crop isn't snug, it is prone to nip slips. Less so after a couple of minor alterations, but it has as much success with breast support as the DARE program had with reducing drug use (less than zero) #KatPics #TomboyTuesday #NonBinaryFashion #NonBinary #FitCheck

After getting home from #Blissfest this year, my hair was ridiculous. Here's the full #FitCheck for the "teardown camp and haul things back home" day. It involves extra manual labor in the sweltering humid heat and also wading through grass sometimes (yes, I tuck my pants into my socks for that). I wore something similar on the "loading into camp" day, and while I was there, I only wore pants twice. It was when volunteering to do arts and crafts in the kids area. There is often paint and glue, and stuff like that involved. I'll post some of the fits at some point once I figure out if I actually took pictures of them, and whether I like them or not. #Blissfest2026 #KatPics #TomboyThursday #NonBinaryFashion

#Blissfest was a fun experience this weekend. I still have pics I haven't posted from #Blissfest2025 but I'm going to try and at least get some posted soon for #Blissfest2026 It was humid as heck. And it was quite warm; both in terms of how welcoming and accepting the people are, and also the air temperature. There were multiple times where I was just glistening with sweat and doing something with ropecord, trees, or dancing. I'll spare you any pictures of that state, and instead offer this picture of my hair after I got home (only a day since the last wash at the campground). I'm looking forward to journaling the various experiences which will likely end up making it into some posts. I have some simple stories such as one to convey the joy of stargazing on a clear night with a new moon, and ensnaring passers-by into catching some surprise meteors. And more involved ones such as the complexity of dealing with an individual that got argumentative after asking whether it was okay to use "dude" in a camp full of trans folks. #KatPics #CurlyHair #Frizz #TalesOfAKat

I don't have as many fun plants around as some of y'all do, but I still am easily smitten by simple things. For example, there are plenty of wild alliums around, and I quite enjoy seeing the silver lil bubbles they form, and appreciate how they look so alien and metallic. Then when they finally burst, it's like there was this tiny cute eldritch deity just waiting to hatch. 🥹 #KatPics #BloomScrolling #Plants #Nature

The Moon might be waning, but #Pride is waxing. Unlike the moon, I don't believe there is a "pride peak" so to speak. So we are probably in a state of unbounded #WaxingPride This is good because there's no way I'm getting through all the pride flags in one month! :neofox_laugh_sweat: I will try to juxtapose some meaning on the backs of those supporting the rainbow, and would love to hear your thoughts in the comments :blobcatflower: #KatPics #WaxArt #NonBinary #LGBTQIA #DrippingWithColor #Rope

Springtime in May means a lot of things are in bloom. This also holds true for toebeans of various kinds. Some of the eager ones can be harvested for a first flush. If your toes have been getting fatigued waiting for me to have enough spoons for my notorious backlog, here's sn opportunity to have a reprieve. Give your toes little recharge hammocks to make it easier. Here is drone 9382 demonstrating a sensory recharge for toes in a bind. #CW for #Rope #Toes and #Latex #RopeBondage #KatPics #RopeArt #ToeSocks

Rope, Suggestive AltText, drum harness Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
One of my drum harness variations. This one is usable for suspension or general tugging around. For the nerds, the upper band is wider and aligned with the saddle points so it avoids squishing anything that not meant to be squished. #AccessibilityIsHotAF #Tit4Cat #RopeBondage #NonBinary #AltText #KatPics #AltAfterDark #NomBinary
