Happy Winter Solstice everyone! Anyone celebrating today? If you do how do you celebrate it?

Apparently tonight we'll be able to see Jupiter and Saturn line up in the sky, which I really hope I'll be able to see tonight myself.

@grost: Hey Grost. I am sitting here by myself and drinking coffee, Listening to music and playing an RPG. Sounds really exciting huh. I don't have any candles to light and my sissy and bro went to visit his family so yeah I am just here and spending time with you guys. Might binge watch a whole bunch of Christmas movies but that is about it

@grost: Happy Solstice! I forgot that was today until a friend reminded me. It's a special day and I'm looking forward to the days getting longer as well.
I won't be able to see that in the sky tonight because it's cloudy here :(

@Ariella74: Hey Ariella :) doesn't really matter what you got, just as long as you're having a nice time today, just take time to treat yourself and relax for the day

@Totalanimefan: It's also pretty cloudy here, I'm just hoping things will clear up a tad so I can maybe catch a glimpse. If not, there'll always be some photos online. You doing anything special today? I made some chocolate chip cookies to celebrate and I'm gonna be using a candle I made along with a couple other smaller ones to light up my room tonight rather than using the normal lights

@Nephila: Wow that sounds like a real fun time you've got planned out! I would make a nice dinner for everyone but sadly money's kinda tight in my house, so it'll probably just be another night of fake mashed potatoes and turk'y cutlets for me and take out for everyone else.

I'm gonna light a candle for the members of the family that've passed, do you guys do something similar? I'm not religious so I kinda just do it from a point of spiritualism and trying to respect ancestors and whatnot, I'm kind of making up my own traditions lol

@Ariella74: That's good, I think we all need to take a break from the rest of reality for a moment, this year's kinda been a bit of a mess for everyone lol

@Purpsy: I live in a normal neighborhood with smaller houses, so I'm probably gonna go sit out on my garage's roof and stargaze if it's nice enough out tonight

@Purpsy: It's gonna be below freezing tonight but hopefully it'll be worth it in the end if I'm able to see anything. But who knows with the city light pollution we got here, crossing my fingers

Update on the conjunction for me: sadly the light pollution in my city makes it so I can't see it, if anyone else can see it and get a good photo, please post it here!

@grost: I’ve been wanting to make peanut butter cookies for like two weeks! At first I learned I was missing regular sugar so I bought some last time I was at the store but then I learned I’m also missing baking powder T-T so no cookies yet.
How did your cookies turn out?

@Totalanimefan: They're super good, they're crumbly and soft and just ahhh so good, very proud of myself. I have a bomb peanut butter cookie recipe that's worth a shot if you want it, everyone that's tried them absolutely loves them.
I always keep those sorts of things as staples since they're so important to baking from scratch and I do that a lot. Generally basic baking ingredients are always in the pantry if I can help it lol, always nice to have stuff on hand to make cakes, cookies, and brownies whenever I feel like making some

@grost: I just moved across the country a few months ago so I haven’t restocked on everything for my pantry yet. ^^;
I would love to know your recipe for PB cookies.
Nice to hear yours turned out so good!

I was working, so I wasn't able to see the conjunction or do anything for the solstice.. not that I'd have been able to do that anyway in my living situation.. but I did have some gluhwein. Festive enough.

Happy Solstice!

Last night my wife and I did a small ritual.
I worked on something’s I want to manifest.
I also made my mom’s cookie recipes, to try and help me get into the spirit.
