On Sunday, Margie the elephant was camping at the campsite! I wouldn’t mind having her around at some point, but I didn’t want to kick anyone out to get her.
Just outside the tent, I caught this paper kite butterfly. Of course, I know it’s a common bug, but I just really liked this screenshot for some reason. I don’t know if it’s the sunlight or the fact that I’m centered in front of the tent, but something in this picture just draws me in aesthetically.
On Monday, Pascal popped up to tell me that rocks are the oysters of the land. He then gave me a pearl (in exchange for my scallop), and swam off.
(New Leaf players will get this one.)
On Tuesday, I recorded my full gameplay session and uploaded it as a video. It had been over a year since I posted such a gameplay video of New Horizons. So here it is, if you’re interested:
Yesterday was Thanksgiving in the U.S., and that meant it was Turkey Day in New Horizons. Franklin the chef had tables set up in the plaza, and he asked me to help him gather ingredients for him.
Louie was already eyeing Franklin in that pic. 😆
I gathered up the ingredients I needed, one dish at a time. My villagers also helped with secret ingredients to make the dishes even better.
Okay, that was a bad example. But Bones actually did help me out a lot, giving me two of the secret ingredients I needed (a barred knifejaw and a Dungeness crab).
With his help, I completed the event with all four dishes and all four special ingredients. I hope you all had a good Turkey Day, harvest festival, and/or Thanksgiving!
Just for reference, here is the list of the four dishes, including the ingredients:
- clam chowder: 3 manila clams (secret ingredient: scallop)
- pumpkin pie: orange pumpkin, yellow pumpkin (secret ingredients: green pumpkin, white pumpkin)
- gratin: round mushroom, potato (secret ingredient: Dungeness crab)
- meunière: sea bass, dab (secret ingredient: barred knifejaw)
Today, Flick was in town…but I didn’t have much to sell him. Just two wasps and a paper kite butterfly, in fact. 😆 He gave me a whopping 9,000 bells for them all. Ooh, I’m rich now! 😉
I helped out Wisp twice this week. He gave me some terra-cotta flooring on Sunday night, and a popcorn snack set on Wednesday.
Enjoy your weekend, everyone! I’ll see you next week.
