Jeff's New Horizons Blog

Yesterday, Nook’s Cranny had a zen light for sale. It’s one of the new items that hangs from the ceiling. I bought it, but I didn’t keep it in my house.

When I visited Apple, she told me she has been craving chow mein lately. She said she likes to put whipped cream and sprinkles on it, and top it with an apple garnish! Does she garnish it with herself?

At the Roost last night, I found a villager enjoying coffee for the first time. It was Bones, and he said that coffee fills up his happy battery.

As I was drinking some coffee today, Isabelle came in to order some coffee to-go. It’s nice to see the Roost getting some regular business!

Today is Monday, which means the vendors on Harv’s island have new inventory for the week! I bought a few things from Saharah and Kicks, and I also purchased a graceful painting from Redd. Unfortunately, Leif didn’t have any veggies/starts that I still needed.

As for mysterious islands, I found myself on vine/glowing moss islands both yesterday and today. They had different layouts, but they were both pretty cool!

Flick was in town tonight, and I sold him 50k worth of bugs (mostly tarantulas and scorpions I had in storage). I then wished on a couple of shooting stars before wrapping up my game for the night.

If you’re interested, here’s my latest video. It’s a quick one, taking a look at what it might be like if we could cook meat (bacon, to be specific) in the game.

See you next time!

Gulliver sent me a hula doll in the mail today. I also received my calm painting from Jolly Redd, and it turned out to be authentic! So naturally, I donated it to the museum.

While I was there, I stopped in the Roost to get some coffee. Brewster asked me if I wanted some pigeon milk. As gross as that sounds, I said yes. But this is one of those times I’m glad video games haven’t emulated the sense of taste.

Shortly after 6:00, I attended K.K. Slider’s show. He performed K.K. Hop for me, Hornsby, Eloise, and Louie. As soon as the song started, my three villagers whipped out glow sticks! I couldn’t do that, but I could clap. And when I clapped, they also clapped (but only with one hand, because they were holding glow sticks).

I took Kapp’n’s boat ride to a mysterious island, and I arrived on a winter island for the first time! Snowflakes were flying, but apparently it wasn’t the holiday season on that island. So there were no ornaments to be found.

Back in Forest, I moved my ironwood kitchen from outside and put it in my basement. I may make a kitchen…but then again, maybe I should put my gyroids down here and put the kitchen in my left room instead. Regardless, I made a new stonework kitchen to put outside (so I can now cook inside or out).

As for outdoor decorating, I’m also considering removing my oasis and replacing it with something else. I may try some things out in the coming days.

On Wednesday night, I bought an ancient statue from Jolly Redd’s shop on Harvey’s island. I knew it was a fake when I bought it, but it makes for a good decoration. However, there was also another benefit to that purchase: Redd replaced it with another work of art the next day!

It was a gallant statue, and it turned out to be fake…but that’s okay. Because now I know that I can keep refreshing Redd’s inventory by buying a work of art every day! So there is a reason to visit Harv’s island every day, at least until your art gallery is complete. If you don’t buy anything from Redd, the selection apparently only changes once a week (on Mondays).

Celeste was in town last night, and she taught me how to make a starry-skies rug.

Today, Gulliver was in town. I dug through the sand to find the five pieces of his communicator, and he promised to mail me a prize.

Apple taught me how to make some pumpkin soup, and it’s a nice easy recipe: All I need is three pumpkins to make it! I have plenty of pumpkins in storage, so this will be an easy thing to make whenever I have cooking as one of my Nook Miles+ goals.

A new seasonal item is available, and it’s called a chitose ame. You can order it now through November 20th, at a price of 1,000 bells.

Redd had a calm painting for sale today on Harv’s Island, and I bought it. I’m not sure if it’s real or fake. Today’s mysterious island had tomatoes, so I plucked them all clean.

Back in Forest, I bought another cup of coffee at the Roost. As I was about to walk out the door, Brewster told me he had something for me!

He gave me a recipe for a Roost sablé cookie; it just requires flour and sugar to make.

Wisp was in town tonight, and I gathered up his spirits for him. In return, he gave me an impish costume.

I then went diving and found a scallop. That prompted Pascal to pop up, and he gave me a pearl…and some pearls of wisdom.

I posted my latest video yesterday, Wi-Fi Moments #20. If you haven’t seen it yet, please check it out.

Have a great weekend, and I’ll see you all next time!
