Tutorial TutorialNew Recipes: Salads!
More Than Rabbit Food
All right Tadpoles, I've heard you all croaking about want more things to cook. You've proven yourselves dedicated enough so far that I think I can trust you with the Quickblade. The first real step to mastering your kitchen is to master you knife skills and there’s nothing like salad to sharpen your cutting ability.
You'll be chopping up all kinds of ingredients for these new recipes - no plain bowls of sad leaves here. I don't know what Hope thinks of when someone says salad, but here in the Forest salads can make a balanced meal.
Starting you out easy, we've got the simple Dandelion Salad, Caprese Salad, Kale Salad, Heart of Domain Salad, and Spinach and Strawberry Salad that will get you used to cutting different shapes and textures, from cheese to fruit. These are all fairly large, rough cuts so you shouldn't end up with any fingers in your food.
Next we’ll step up the difficulty with Green Bean Salad, Carrot and Cranberry Salad, Apple Walnut Salad and Cucumber Salad which all require much thinner, precise cuts or slippery ingredients. Remember, always tuck your fingers in and guide the food out with your knuckles. Your blade shouldn't be leaving the cutting board; it is the food that’s moving, not you.
Finally you’re going to be needed some nice fresh Radish if you want to make this Radical Radish Salad which will test your slicing skills above all else. From there you can try the Fruitopia Salad which is a bountiful plate of sweet flavor to entice even fussy eaters to try something. Once you feel confident in your skills you can give the ultimate salad a try. The Enchanted Garden Salad showcases the best parts of a salad, and it’s so fresh you will be able to see the Forest’s blessing on it.
You can climb up to me at Elven Cuisine in the Enchanted Forest to learn all of these and pick up whatever ingredients you might need. Prove to me that you all are serious and maybe I'll break out even more of my special recipes.

New Items: Headphones!
Jam Out And Relax!
Hello, darlings! How have you all been? It feels like forever since I've had a chance to come see you all! During the holiday rush I’m always heavily booked at the Salon and at home with all the kids. “New Year, New Look” and all that! But I was thinking that with it being so gray and dreary this time of year I should find a way to liven up everyone's days and now I've got just the thing!
At the Salon we offer all guests a large assortment of music to listen to while we offer our services. We even offer Headphones and Neckphones to those who want more immersive experiences. So how about I start selling them so you guys can take that music on the go? I think I read somewhere that music is food for the soul - I want see all of you well-fed and healthy!
They come in some unique Salon colors, so I’m sure you can find one you like. Headphones come in Classy, Code, Laser, Lectric, Passion, Pro, Rawberry, spunky, Throwback, Urban, Chrome, Tundrea, Spirit, and Overlock.
Neckphones, on the other hand - or ear, in this case - come in Black Ice, Elite, Hacker, Citrus, Classico, Daydreamer, Froggy, Ghost, Neon, Radioactive, Ruby, Teal, Wine, and Spirit.

In the Spotlight!
Are you ready for awe and amazement? Because that's what we've got for you today! To introduce our new Spotlight feature, we present a beautiful new header with some exciting new features!

Hope University and the Enchanted Forest now have unique header and background art to really immerse you in the explorable areas!
The header can expand/collapse to make navigating through the site easier. Your preference is remembered from page to page, even if you logout.
Spotlight winners are displayed on the logged out home page in random order. We hope this is a good enticement for new visitors to sign up, when they see the wonderful creations you all come up with!
Speaking of which, here are the first ever Spotlight winners:
Just a girl… by Mandee won the Avatar Spotlight!
Anyway, I hope you... like... me? Hmm, that's a little weird to say, but yeah! I hope you do!
Bow down to MASTER! by Hisscale won the Kith Spotlight!
A creature on the verge of embracing the entirety of the Universe.
Tree Friend by Moth King of Moths won the Craft Spotlight!
I don't know if anyone noticed, but I'm a big fan of the dryads, so I decided to make a little bust figure of one of my tree friends, to show my devotion to them.
Everyone's Favorite Princess <3 by fancymermen won the Art Spotlight!
She's beauty, she's grace, she's so sparkly
FIC O' SHAME PART I by - Z - won the Writing Spotlight!
The grin Aunt Mari shot him looked as if it were ready to tear the corners of her mouth open. “I got it back,” she hissed. “The Tatters…took a bit of me…and I took a bit of it.”
Quantum Nano-Optics of Semiconductors by Jasmine won the Gallery Spotlight!
So I work in a pretty awesome lab, and I did my best to recreate it here. I'm happy to explain any of the equipment!
I broke hoof it! by Hintswen won the Game Spotlight!
This is what I believe is my highest score before hoof it was changed to show your shards earned as the score.
All of you will receive the exclusive In the Spotlight Achievement and a Spotlight T-Shirt. A huge thank you to everyone who participated! This week's contest is an Avatar Challenge: can you win with only 10 slots? Check out the rules here and show your skills!
We do have a couple of bugs that are still being ironed out this week. This includes the links on the Spotlight area, the "Forgot password" link, and the Kith dialog that will appear on various pages as you explore. Expect to see these slowly rolled out throughout the week, probably without a unique Announcement, since they will be implemented little by little.
As always with new features, please report any bugs to the Technical Support Forum. Thank you all for helping Tattered Weave become the best it can be!
Rank Prank: Item Update!
Ahem! In this matter, I need your undivided attention: for some time now, an error has gone without mention. It seems I have been given cause to feud, for a prank was played that is more than a little rude. Look here! The tags on my armored sets have been mixed, but I promise this oversight has immediately been fixed. Should you own a set of Armored Greaves you'll now find them shorter, and when I find the culprit they will be given no quarter.
My deepest apologies, should this have caused you a tizzy. Please excuse me. I think I need to find Dizzy...
