    I am not used to think to elves living in winter. In forests yes but not during winter.
    Py’Rai having Winter Harvest Bowl feels unusual.

    Haha, maybe our winter is a lot like your fall, just a touch cool?

    I like it. Instead of the eternal summer vibes from Lothlorien and other elfy forests in other universes, we get to see them freeze and be miserable in the winter like the rest! Well, except for the DĂĽnir and the Tulnar of course.

    Why would we ever be miserable in the winter? We don't even sink in deep snow.

    The reason you don't see elves in winter forests is the same reason they generally didn't see Simo Häyhä.

    Am simply curious what "Crescent-Moon Delight" is, as I can get a reasonable idea of what the others are by the name.


    Would be nice to see the full list of recipes on the forum, for even the ones that don't win and get to be on-stream.

    • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
    • 3 teaspoons grated ginger
    • 4 teaspoons grated garlic
    • 4 cups chicken broth (can substitute for vegetable)
    • 4 cups water/ (OPTIONAL: You can make this ramen glow in the dark by cooking the noodles separately in tonic water! Name-brand tonic water might glow better)
    • (Optional: If you’re making your Underrealm Noodles glow, you can also add powdered vitamin B2 to the noodles to make them glow)
    • 1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms
    • 2 packages instant ramen (noodles only!)
    • 1/2 cup chopped scallions or chives
    • 2 cup chopped kale
    • 1 cups shredded carrots

    Instructions:
    1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and ginger; stir fry for 2 minutes or until soft and fragrant.
    2. (Optional: You can cook noodles separately in tonic water, and/or with vitamin B2 powder, before continuing to the next step so they can glow in the dark)
    3. Add the broth and the water. Bring to a simmer; add the mushrooms and simmer for 10 minutes or until the mushrooms have softened and the broth is flavorful.
    4. Add the instant noodles to the hot liquid and simmer for an additional 5 minutes or until the noodles have softened. Add the scallions and stir to combine.
    5. (If you’re making your noodles glow in the dark, you can skip straight to adding the scallions and stirring to combine.)
    6. Remove from heat, stir in the kale and carrots, and top with crunchy panko crumbs (see notes) and a soft-boiled egg (optional). Season with chili oil, hot sauce, sesame oil, and/or soy sauce, and salt to taste.

    So, at House Shakacon, my daughter and I made Sweet Ice Rolls. It was a very time consuming recipe, but it gave me lots of ideas on how to modify my usual cinnamon recipe to make it better... We tried the rolls tonight as we watched the Barbie Movie and the final verdict was they loved the sweetness of it, but would like it to be a little fluffier. Below is some of the highlights of our journey and our finished product. Overall, the entire process from beginning to end took about 3 hours including the two different times we set the dough to rise.

    It was a lot of fun! The recipe was elaborate and it felt like it came from a master chef. Thank you for having the contest and for sharing the recipes! My next batch of cinnamon rolls I make will be better because of the ideas I got from making this recipe! Happy Holidays to everyone at Intrepid!
