Exploring teas in the colors of each Ajah got me thinking that, if I wear a banded dress one day, I'd like to make a celebratory buffet of foods in the colors of the 7 Ajahs (and add the Disc, if they have colors too!). And, one thing leading to another, I thought this would be a perfectly appropriate "colorful" event for me to throw! So what are your favorite, most exotic, is-this-even-real, foods and beverages ... that are BLUE!!! 💙Calling all Blue Sisters to lead the charge ^^ @Ithillian Turambar, @Wayward_fool, @Siera I nominate Butterfly Pea tea, a naturally blue tea made from a decoction or infusion of the flower petals or whole flower of the Clitoria ternatea plant. Clitoria ternatea is also known as butterfly pea, blue pea, Aprajita, Cordofan pea, Blue Tea Flowers or Asian pigeonwings. Derived from a plant that is common to most South East Asian countries, butterfly pea flower tea has been brewed for centuries but only recently been introduced to tea drinkers outside the indigenous area. Butterfly pea flower tea gains its distinctive tint from the deep blue color of the petals that has made the plant a popular dye for centuries. One of the distinctive aspects of the tea is the fact that the liquid changes color based on the pH level of the substance added to it, for instance, adding lemon juice to the tea will turn it purple.

On a computer, it is the 4th button from the left (where Bold is the 1st button), when you write a message!

Can we please post this tutorial somewhere easy to find? Maybe an addition to the siggy class?

I keep forgetting S1... but I remember S2 better, and like it better as well at the rewatch.

Vote ME?? Narrows her eyes suspiciously... So I take it this isn't really a collaborative game, then? 🙃 @Donchadh, want to join us?

Wow... Quite a casual delivery there... I sure wouldn't want to be the butt of this joke 😇

No objection to cheese, over here! 😋

Same!

I pressed it...

That worked, thank you, @Gudrean Sedai 🙏 May I ask what you did differently, so I can update my siggy next time we add a frame?

Thank you, @Ithillian Turambar. I was able to post on Imgur and got a link. I then picked "Insert image from URL" in my settings... and it rejects the imgur url Am I doing it wrong?

When I tried, I was able to create the rotating gif, but then when I try pasting it as a signature, it says it violates the rules because it has "too many links"... 🧐

Aaaaah, it is adorable!! I love it!! Thank you, @Gudrean Sedai! 🤗🥰🤗 love the autumn leaves on the cushion... and the tea cup, and the kitty! And... is that a graffiti on the stone work? ^^ It also give Gryffindor vibes, which is in fact totally fitting 🥰 Ok, now I've got to figure out the rotation thingie... Next weave to practice 😜

Of course, @Gudrean Sedai! Thank you so much! 🥰

Right away, Accepted @HeavyHalfMoonBlade *curtsies* Those crossed arms are a universal language, after all.. better get to work! @Wayward_fool Sedai, if you have the time, may I please request a Novice siggy that evokes meditating in a green forest, full of golden light and Spring flowers? If you find a way to integrate a black jaguar in the sig, all the better!! 🥰 @Gudrean Sedai, if it pleases you, may I please request a Novice siggy that evokes reading cozy by the fireplace with a cup of tea, with Autumn orange and warm tones, and possibly a cat curled up somewhere? 😍

Ooh, that sounds handy, @Donchadh! And yummy. The lack of clean up will make it very popular with the Novices, haha! Thank you MC @Cairos. If not the mouth-watering andouille sausage from @ThorkinBarrimore, I would absolutely love lamb chops with some herbs and salt... Hmmmm... But what I make most often over a campfire are packets! Not the "important paper collated together" kind of packet... though sometimes I'm sure it is tempting to 'jamble' those! But the salmon-tomatoes-potatoes kind 😋

Following this discussion with interest. She would have the long-term vision for such calculations. nodnods

Signed up!

@Wayward_fool Boopsy Sedai, Welcome back!! I am Andy, a newbie Novice *curtsies* and thrilled to make your acquaintance. Please feel free to swing by the tea room for a complimentary refreshment.

Jumps up and down in joy and excitement before remembering her station and blushing somewhat... Oh, THANK YOU, @Ithillian Turambar Sedai! I love my new signature 😍🥰 I'm going to go put it on right now!!

Holy Light, that is gorgeous, @Ithillian Turambar Sedai!! And a worthwhile endeavor to invite Boopsy back! @Donchadh, did you see the pretty signature?? 😍

Ooh, thank you @Gudrean Sedai. Cursties and runs to go iron her white dress for the siggy!

I have yet to use Bela - probably for a show of friendship, would be how I'd use it. As for the sword, I've used it equally to mean "Yays!!", "Bad azz", and when no other icon fit but I wanted to express a reaction lol so... 🤷‍♀️
