Pineapple tart update, with recipes
Feb. 9th, 2026 01:43 pmqianMy entire weekend got swallowed up by pineapple tarts, as I decided to make the tarts on Sunday. I made two batches of pastry, one batch with cheese and one without, following this recipe. I basically ignored the family for much of the day in order to do this, but still had to take various breaks to make lunch for the kids, eat myself, tidy up, intervene in quarrels, etc. So there were various shenanigans by way of: had to stop making tarts so put pastry in the fridge for too long and it had turned into granite by the time I returned to it; someone must have butt-dialled the oven so it wasn't the temperature I set it at and the tarts came out darker than they should be; threw away the egg wash then remembered I had 6 remaining tarts to egg-wash so they only got a milk wash and are not as pretty; etc. etc.
The cheesy batch of pastry in particular was terribly stiff and hard to work with; I couldn't roll it without it cracking all over. I think I might have overworked the dough? In any case, my pastry doesn't seem to come together the way What to Cook Today suggests it will, so I'm going to put a rewritten recipe for pineapple tarts below -- what worked for ME. Fortunately the resulting tarts all taste great. I keep eating them to try to figure out if I like cheese-free or cheesy better, but it's hard to decide!

Day 9 Theme - The Scholar

Here are some ideas to get you started: Also know as The Sage, she has studied and seems to have a wealth of knowledge at her disposal. She enjoys teaching others and gives good advice. What is she an expert in? How was her time at school? How do those around her react to her sharing her knowledge?
Just go wherever the Muse takes you. If this prompt doesn't speak to you, feel free to share something that does. You can post in a separate entry or as a comment to this post.

Feb. 8th, 2026 09:15 pmelisiA relevant quote:
Along about November I began to forget when it hadn't been raining and became as one with all the characters in all of the novels about rainy seasons, who rush around banging their heads against the walls, drinking water glasses of straight whisky and moaning, "The rain! The rain! My God, the rain!"

Rec - Day 7 -
Feb. 8th, 2026 04:03 pmineffablecabbage posting in halfamoon Title + link: Althea (Consumed by love)
Author: Fanbase_Universes
Prompt: Day 7 - The Lover
Fandom: Anne of Green Gables - L.M. Montgomery
Fandom: Anne of Green Gables - L.M. Montgomery
Characters/Pairing: Diana Barry/Anne Shirley
Length: 772 words
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: None Apply
Summary: Anne Shirley, Diana thought, was the oddest girl she had ever met.
Reccer's notes: Anne Shirley's passion and longing for love and connection made her a prime candidate when I was looking for inspiration for the "The Lover" prompt. Here she is paired with Diana, complete with references to reciting Sappho. It's a short fic that packs in the same longing and sweet resolution that makes for the best of the L.M. Montgomery stories, except this time with a femslash twist.
FIC: Day 6 - 9-1-1 - Maddie Buckley
Feb. 8th, 2026 12:59 pmineffablecabbage posting in halfamoonTitle: Scorpions Sting When Fighting Back
Fandom: 9-1-1
Pairing/Characters: Maddie Buckley (and all the people she loves/loved.)
Rating: M
Word count: 5905
Warnings: Non-Linear Narrative, Canon child neglect, Unreliable Narrator, Implied/Referenced Sexual Assault, Implied/Referenced Domestic Violence
Author's note: Written for day 6 of halfamoon: "Her own personal code." One of the things I think 9-1-1 does really well is show that grief is complex, and rarely a clean cut. Sometimes you love people even after they hurt you. That being said, I always kind of wanted Maddie to be okay with killing Doug (while understanding why she wasn't) and in fact, kind of wanted her to start a "killing evil abusers" arc by the time Vincent came along. That is not the show that 9-1-1 is, but it is the a/u that I wrote here.
Summary: The first time Maddie Buckley kills someone, it's in self-defense. Her other kills protect her friends and her family. She'll never regret that.

Day 8: gif recs, Bad Sisters - Eva, Ursula, Bibi and Becka Garvey
Feb. 8th, 2026 12:25 pmsisterdivinium posting in halfamoonI don't recall anyone pointing out other people's gifs before (is that a thing?) but whether or not that's been done has no bearing on the fact that it is precisely what I propose to share today.
This lovely gifset by![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)
michaun and appleciders's other nice little collection of gifs here both illustrate how the Garvey sisters end up using one another's clothes quite often. That's a bit of a family tradition, it seems, that must have started as a pet peeve (see Bibi's line there, "That's my scarf, Becka", which the gifs don't show as followed by a hard "I want that scarf back, Becka!" and the justification that "she always keeps my shit" when Eva and Ursula look at her following the outburst). Regardless, it lends another lovely dash of colour to the sisters and yet one more fun thing to look out for as the episodes go by.

Day 8 Theme - Pet Peeves
Feb. 8th, 2026 07:17 amcmk418 posting in halfamoonToday's theme is Pet Peeves.
Here are some ideas to get you started: There are some things that really get under her skin. Maybe it's someone who shows up five minutes early to a meeting while she's still getting ready, maybe it's that the store doesn't stock her favorite guilty pleasure item, maybe it's that her significant other keeps beating her at checkers. Sometimes the little things needle away and she hits her breaking point. Show us what bugs her and how she deals with it.
Just go wherever the Muse takes you. If this prompt doesn't speak to you, feel free to share something that does. You can post in a separate entry or as a comment to this post.
