an author i love just tweeted about how “big joy and small joy are the same” and how she was just as content the other night eating chocolate and cuddling her dog as she was on her Big Trip to new york and honestly. i think that’s it. this morning i was listening to an audiobook while baking shortbread in my joggers and i realised i really didn’t care what Big Things happened in my future as long as i could keep baking and reading at the weekend and maybe that is the kind of bar we have to set to guard ourselves against disappointment. just appreciate and cherish the mundane stuff and see everything else as a bonus.

found it - she was replying to this thread that starts “unpopular opinion: i don’t think your life has to have a purpose, or you a grand ambition; i think it’s okay to just wander through life finding interesting things until you die” and i for one think that’s fucking brilliant

actually i love growing older and learning how i work as a person like realizing what kinds of fabrics feel best on my skin or what brand of yogurt i like best or how I want to be touched. watching myself change, enjoying brussel sprouts when I used to hate them as a child, understanding why I got angry in that one conversation 10 years ago… there are so many mysteries inside me that i have yet to unravel and there will always be more and sometimes i think maybe its all worth it

blake said in the live stream that her dress has the constellations of grand central station, the colour of the statue of liberty, the reveal of her dress that went from copper to green representing oxidized copper, like liberty, her crown has 7 spikes like the statue of libertys crown, which represents the 7 seas and the 7 continents, and represents freedom and inclusion. i’m in love.

My friend asked how I learned to cook and the answer is I didn’t. I know like 5 things about cooking and they are:

Always use more garlic than the recipe calls for

“Ehhh fuck it close enough” is a great measurement tool

Find like 5 recipes that you like, adjust them how you like them, make them until you hate them

Clean as you go

If a recipe is from a mommy blog, you will need more spices

If anyone wants to add, please do

[datenshi-no-hime]

None of these are wrong.

Too much salt? Add a lil sugar

[bibliotheksbewohnerin]

-if you feel like something is missing tastewise but you don’t quite know what it is, try salt, sugar or acid first (lemon juice or a splash of vinegar). honestly, it’s usually the acid

Pepper. Everything always needs more pepper than you think.

If you cook a new recipe or something that cooks really fast (like stir-fries) always prep before you start cooking. If you know a recipe you will know where the gaps are to prep the remaining ingredients but with new recipes you don’t know that and this will catch you out at some point.

Also, I second the ‘fuck it close enough’. I learnt cooking with a cookbook (now sadly out of print) that only had purposely vague recipes but with a list of alternative ingredients and plenty of tips how to adjust the taste or the consistency in different ways, so you’d learn how to make up your recipes on the go. I don’t use this cookbook much these days because it taught me its lessons so thoroughly. I do have a lot of other cookbooks because if I cook something that I’m not familiar with I like to mash up several recipes to get something that’ll be closer to what I like.
