Okay, I promiced two awesome artists on dA, :icontoontwins: I would give them the recipe for dango.  You all can use the recipe to your liking as well=D

Here it is...

You require the following ingredients:

1 1/3 cup joshinko (rice flour.  Or you can get rice flour and grind it, but it must be ground just enough so it's as a flour.  Any wheat grinder would work well.  Just use the electronic one.  I did it by hand and it hurts><U)
3/4 cup warm water

For Sauce:

2/3 cup water (I start out with cold water--it doesn't matter.  It's going to be boiled anyway.)
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 tbsps soy sauce (Any soy sause will do.  Just don't make the same mistake I did when accedently using stake sauseXDD)
1 1/2 tbsp katakuriko (dogtooth violet starch)/cornstarch
1 1/2tbsp water (i'd use this amount to help grind up the cornstarch.  Cornstarch is a solid, so you might as well use a liquid to help grind it up into a fluid before puting it in.)
*Bamboo skewers (Or, as we use, metal clothes hangers that have been cut into skewersXDD  Metal works relly well, just watch out it they get too hot>>)

Making the rice dumplings:

Put rice flour in a bowl and add warm water. Knead the dough well (or just use a metal spoon if you want to). Make small round dumplings (the size of rubber balls). Place the dumplings in a (vegetable) steamer and steam them on high heat for 10 min. Cool the dumplings and skewer them in bamboo sticks. (3-4 dumplings each stick.)

Making the sweet sause:

Mix water, sugar, and soysauce in a pan and put it on medium heat. Mix the water and katakuriko starch in a cup and set aside. When the sauce boils, add the starch mixture and mix quickly.

And then...

Slightly grill the skewered dumplings and brush the sauce over them (using a small steak brush (whatever it's called) will do).

*Makes 4 servings.

And because I feel as generous as I usually do, I'll throw in a pocky recipe as well8D

Definition:

Pocky Sticks are long, skinny wheat crackers dipped in various flavored toppings, including chocolate (a stick is pictured below), strawberry, milk/tea swirl, cinnamon, almond crunch, and others, including such exotic varieties as melon.

Recipe for sesame tart pastry:

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/8 cup sesame
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter
1/8 cup brown sugar
1/8 cup soy bean jam (Or you can find a substitute.  I think we used pumkin butter for ours.)
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup water

Steps for making it:

1. Mix flour, sesame, and salt
2. Cut in butter
3. Mix jam, yolk, and water, slowly add to flour mixture
4. Roll out and freeze for one hour
5. Fit dough into mold (I am still hunting down the perfect mold, but haven't found much luck.  You may have to do it by hand.)
6. Bake, 400F 10 min

(Or, if you are lazy or are in a rush, just buy some sesame sticks or think pretzel stick and dip them in chocolate (leave about a range of an inch to a half inch so your hands don't get sticky).)

Flavors to dip it in:

MANGO:

1. Slice mangos and layer on top of baked shells, brush on honey
2. Layer on top of baked shell
3. Bake 400F 10 min

ORANGE:

1. Squeeze 1/2 cup worth of orange juice
2. Add 1/2 tbs of gelatin and let stand 10 min
3. Boil, cool to egg white consistency, and pour over mangos
4. Cool pie -oh, I mean, tart - in the frige overnight.
Serve tart with fresh mint.

Chocolate...Well, just melt that oneXD

I hope I helped any, :icontoontwins:!  And good luck on making it if you do!:dance:

My friend Kestra and I,were talking about how we should get as many rangers as possible, along with Vic, and whoever he wants to invite (like Travis, Caitlin, Aaron, Todd, etc) and all meet up somewhere in the USA, and have water fights, and laser tag, and everything! It'd be super fun! Like, spend a whole week down there in the summer, and just have fun with all of the Rangers and Vic and peeps. Come on!! Someone talk to Vic about this!! XD

Hi everyone! :wave:

I know this is a mid week journal, but I haven't actually wrote one in a while I've just done meme's because I was bored out of my mind. But this time I've actually got news!!

Ok first of all because I didn't mention it before, I came a worthy second in :iconwritingmadefun: Halloween zombie contest. I am very happy as I never thought I would have even made it to the final five, but to actually come this close to winning. So congrats to the winner, and I thank the group very much.

But now, because I still can't even believe it's actually happing, the big news.
I, yes me, the plain little sixteen year old from Ireland is actually going to have three of my poems published!!
Yes you heard it right, freaking published!!! In a actual book!! How crazy is that?!
I still can't believe it, I only submitted my work with the thought that "I'm too young, too amateurish, and that they won't like my stuff" but wouldn't you know they liked it and chose three!
:la: :happybounce: :icondummydanceplz: :squee:
So next year, I'm going to have a copy of the book with my work it in!
Ahhh!!!!!!!
Thank you to everyone who believed in me! :heart:
I love you all!

So that leaves me with one final thought, does this mean I change my artist tag from student to professional? :laughing:

Chap. 1: To Find A Dragon

Sehtmeht scratched his neck as his ears went flat against his head. His black robe flowed from behind him as he paced his tower floor. So many leads and all of them were dead ends. He needed to find them, and he needed to find them soon.

Umbra, his assistant, was laying down watching her master worry himself to a massive wreck. She lowered her head onto her paws and tucked her wings in close as she gave a sigh.

This was not the first time Sehtmeht tore himself apart over a legend, but this so-called legend was based more in fact than a fairy tale told to hatch-lings. This legend was centered on two very real dragons that disappeared after defeating a mighty enemy… and her master was close to finding one of them.

Sehtmeht stopped pacing and was now hovering over a table with various books, scrolls, and maps, his ears still flat against his head. Umbra walked over to him, her black body reflecting the glow from the light crystal that illuminated the room.

"Master, I think you need to rest."

Sehtmeht smirked, "I wish I could, Umbra, but we will have time to rest later. I am so close to finding him… so close…

Umbra nuzzled his side. "If you continue to go on like this, you will break down. Come on!"

She nuzzled her master's side harder this time, making him gasp with surprise. He turned to her and glared with his white eyes, but the glare turned to a smirk. He put up his hands in a defeated gesture.

"Fine. I guess I do need a rest."

Umbra led him to a chair and sat him down. She left the room and brought back some of her masters favorite tea. While Sehtmeht was sipping away, Umbra walked over to the table and grazed over its contents.

"Have you checked the Crystal Caverns?"

"Yes."

"The Forgotten Crypts?"

"Yes."

"How about the-?"

"Yes, yes, yes, and yes. I have looked everywhere in this blasted kingdom, and I can't find him!"

Umbra lowered her head and her eyes went wide as an idea popped into her mind. "What if he isn't in the kingdom? What if he is outside of it?

Sehtmeht quickly jolted up and grabbed his staff from beside him. He rushed over to the maps and frantically looked on the table, throwing books and scrolls aside on the floor. Umbra had to duck a couple of times to avoid being hit.

"Aha! Found it!" Sehtmeht held up a scroll like it was the holy grail. Umbra just cocked her head and stared at him. "What is it?"

Her master just smiled an unrolled the parchment for her to see. Umbra's neon purple eyes went wide with shock.

"No way! You mean we are going to the Shadow lands!? That is suicide, master!"

"Indeed it may be, but if we do not, then I fear our enemies will find him."

Sehtmeht tucked the map away in his robe and marched to the door. As her opened it, he turned his head back to Umbra.

"After all, they already have her…"
