Wala akong natapos basahin this May :(( Akala ko pa naman magagawa ko na yung at least one book a month (which is a huge improvement from my normal reading habit!) pero di pa rin pala. But I did read this month, di ko lang natapos talaga!

Currently, I'm reading Demon Copperhead. Apparently it's a retelling of Dickens' David Copperfield pero di ko rin naman nabasa yun so di ko rin alam ieexpect ko nung inistart ko. But I like it a lot!! I used to say na I usually read light novels and romance, and that's true but mostly it's because it is what is accessible to me before, but recently I realized how my best reads are from genres outside of my usual ones. Very different topics pero nakukuha ko rin dito sa book yung vibe ng Things Fall Apart. Ayun, gusto ko siya!! :D I think it's the kind of story that will stick with me for a long time.

Aside from that, I'm reading Seek Ye Whore. Pero binabasa ko lang siya pag nasa office, so di siya super active reading and I don't mind not finishing it quickly. Short stories naman din kasi siya. Dati gusto ko yung pag nagbasa ako, matatapos ko agad. Pero may prof ako na nagsabi na dapat daw matutunan din namin yung slow reading, and back then di ko talaga siya gets at di ko siya kaya, pero ngayon gets ko na. Not every book has to be read in one sitting. Ngayon nga, ito meron akong books na binabasa lang in certain situations. Hindi naman ako super nawawala and I think nagwowork naman siya for me. :)

I think you’re all so smart and doing your best and I suspect it will work out in your favor too

Remembering things fondly is all fun and games until. The missing

[pronouncingitwang]

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

[yokowan]

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

[le-jardin-inculte]

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

[shithowdy]

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

[whitachi]

at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.
