Jeff's New Horizons Blog

Late last week, Pascal popped up out of the ocean to tell me about his underwear. This is crossing over into “too much information” territory, Pascal.

Before he could swim completely out of Forest, I ran to the plaza and started up a group stretching session. As I had hoped, Pascal joined in!

On Sunday, I saw Pascal again. He was wondering when an island stops being an island and just becomes the land. I guess if it grew enough to become a continent, but that’s not very likely to happen anytime soon. 😛

On Tuesday, I learned a new D.I.Y. recipe from a balloon present: It was for a maple-leaf rug.

Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S., and that means it’s Turkey Day in New Horizons. By finding/gathering ingredients, I helped Franklin prepare four great dishes.

The ingredients for each are as follows, including the secret ingredients that make them perfect.

• clam chowder: 3 manila clams (+ a scallop)
• pumpkin pie: orange pumpkin and white pumpkin (+ green & yellow pumpkins)
• gratin: flat mushroom and a mussel (+ a Dungeness crab)
• meunière: sea bass and flour (+ a barred knifejaw)

In the process, I earned several items from Franklin: a Turkey Day rug, Turkey Day wall, Turkey Day flooring, cornucopia, Turkey Day table setting, Turkey Day chair, Turkey Day table, and a Turkey Day hearth.

While I was diving for ingredients, I again ran into Pascal. This time, he was talking about sports expressions…and getting his sports confused.

I hope you all enjoyed your Turkey Day (or harvest festival, if you were playing an older Animal Crossing game). Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

It was raining in town on Sunday, and I took advantage of the situation by catching two coelacanths! I think Bones was impressed with this one. 😉

On Tuesday, Ed the horse was camping out at the campsite. He’s alright, but I did not invite him to the neigh-borhood.

After putting some money in the bank, my savings balance reached 72 million bells.

Today, I found a scallop while diving, and Pascal popped up to ask for it. I handed it over, and he told me that statues could be people who aren’t in a rush. That’s actually pretty creepy to think about. Imagine if statues just stood up, stretched, and started walking around. 😛

When I spoke with Static, he was wondering if I was a squirrel or not! 😆 He may be losing his mind at this point. He’s clearly nuts. 😛

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me wearing an “everyday” outfit. She gave me a kung-fu tee as an example to use. Wait, kung-fu is considered an everyday thing? It must be more common than I thought! I didn’t realize everybody was kung-fu fighting. 😛

I put the shirt on, and I also added some denim pants, a denim cap, and some pleather sneakers. Label approved of the look, and she rewarded me with a Labelle knit shirt.

I have a bit of an announcement regarding this blog. I’ve been posting two entries every week for quite a while now, but I’m going to be changing this to a weekly blog now. There will still be a 2-entry week occasionally (particularly if a villager is moving in/out, or if I decide to have Friday Night Forest and I post an early-week notice about it).

I still plan on playing the game daily, and of course I’ll continue making videos as well. If you’re looking for more Animal Crossing content, please check out my other blogs as well. My City Folk and Wild World blogs are updated weekly, my New Leaf blog is update twice a month, and my GameCube blog is updated monthly. You can see the latest entries on the JVGS home page.

See you next time!

Last night, I found a lost item on the ground. I returned it to its owner Louie, who could recognize it just by the awful smell. 😆

He thanked me for returning it by giving me his photo! Of course I already had four of them, but it’s the thought that counts, I guess. 😛

Tonight, Pascal popped up when I found a scallop in the ocean. I gave it to him, and he told me some words of wisdom about early birds and…evening birds?

Ankha was sick with a cold, so I crafted some medicine for her. She took a spin and consumed the medicine, and she started to feel better. She gave me an ironing board to thank me.

Saturday night is K.K. Slider night, so I asked the singing dog for a random song. He performed K.K. Robot Synth for me and Agent S. It’s not a song I’ve heard very often, but it sounded pretty good. 🤖

Two of today’s fossils were inside my Zelda obstacle course, so it took me longer than usual to find them. Most days, I don’t walk through the course. Just when I haven’t found all of the fossils.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I’ll see you all next time!
