Thanks to the recipe she gave me, I was able to savor her sweet, sweet love !! And it was berrylicious…
I actually tried to adorn them with strawberry frosting, but I kind of messed it up a little bit…. It didn't look as cute on it as I thought it would. Nonetheless, I will continue my lethal experiments with this recipe in my own cozy baking laboratory soon. (◍•ᴗ•◍) ☆
By the way, I added cinnamon to the recipe!! It definitely added to the flavor, in my opinion. Cinnamon girls are gonna looove this one, hehe. And yes, I made these cookies twice separately to take them to my father’s house. Now, he demands more.
Forgive me, dear, for this message coming a little late. I am aware I am slow, but I’ll try to catch up and get back to a more steadier pace. I've been writing down and editing my responses to all the stuff you've submitted, other things I desire to talk to you about, and other things I want to ask other people about. I also need to get my feelings about your fanfics organized and typed out. It's a bit of a jumble, but I will get it all sorted out and done one by one... I just really wanted to let you know that I am not ignoring you. Reading what you have to say always makes me go running around the house in a jiggly jiggle. (〃´ワ`〃)
Wishing you all the strength and calm your heart needs for your exam. It might be a tiresome period, but I have faith you'll complete all of them successfully !! Please don’t forget to be gentle with yourself, too, okay? Because you’re my precious angel! ꒰ঌ♡໒꒱
Eat something yummy and warm, take tiny time-outs to stretch or breathe fresh air ,, and curl up for a little bit of rest when your brain feels full. Your morale and health matter just as much as those exam scores. Just trying your best is already something to be proud of, really proud of. Even if it’s a four-day power-studying marathon, I know you’ve got the spirit and the brain to pull it off. You’re brilliant, and you’ve come so far already. Just a little more push, and you’ll be on the other side of it all.
Go, show those papers what happens when hard work meets unstoppable spirit. You’ve absolutely got this, honey dear!! (。☌ᴗ☌。)っ⁾⁾
Oh, and I also wanted to send you a recipe, as well.
!! Carrot Walnut Cinnamon Cake Recipe !!!
(I’m not even trying to hide my love for cinnamon at this point.)
• 1 packet vanilla sugar (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
• 1 packet baking powder (about 10–12g)
• 3 small carrots (not baby carrots!)
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (level)
1. Start by washing, peeling, and grating the carrots. Don’t forget to squeeze out the excess juice!
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with a mixer until the mixture becomes pale and frothy.
3. Add the milk and vegetable oil, and mix until well combined.
4. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and vanilla. Adjust the amount of flour depending on the consistency of your batter.
5. Mix everything again briefly with the mixer. Then add the grated carrots, ground walnuts, and cinnamon.
6. Give it a final gentle mix using a wooden spoon or spatula.
7. Grease your cake pan and pour in the batter.
8. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for about 40 minutes. Tip: Avoid opening the oven door during the first 30 minutes so your cake rises properly! :)
9. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan before removing it—if you try to take it out too early, it may fall apart.
10. After it has cooled enough, remove the cake from the pan easily and serve.
Your carrot walnut cinnamon cake is ready to be eaten alive by its god! If you ever find a day to try this recipe, I bon appétit you in advance, my heart’s constant companion, beloved Masha. ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ ) 🍊🥮🥕
Ah. This reminds me of the times when I used to listen to Cake by Melanie Martinez and have a breakdown while baking. Good times, good old times…
Anyway. While I was preparing chamomile for myself, this started playing in the background—and there’s something about this guy’s voice that completely caught my attention. I don’t even know why it suddenly got to me like that. Maybe it’s just a simple old song, but… I felt like I wanted to share it with you. Hehe. <3
Edit: I have bad period cramps AND nausea rn 😔 Right when I'm finally home alone, in my sacred forest nymph habitat…merry and free…listening to my favorite top-secret playlists and making my little dance moves like a misunderstood woodland sprite trying to impress the local ghosts…
“Wow, I feel so sunny today that I can dance for hours and hours until my body physically can't anymore!”
I said with joy. I was then shot 57 times.
And then suddenly, cramps kicked down the door, smirked, and said,
“You thought you were gonna be happy ?? Wrong genre, sweetie. This is body horror. Now, suffer your monthly agony.”
I couldn’t even watch that adorable animated series you told me about yet ! ! _(:‚‹」∠)_
I curled up in my bed like a soggy raspberry croissant, hugged Moli (my brave childhood teddy bear guardian), and listened to isochronic binaural beats and chakra tuneup sounds to fall asleep while whining to the universe that I wanted sweet death to take me out already🥀🥀
Because obviously when life hurts, we all channel our inner Dazai, except my dramatic cry for the void is interrupted by the sound of another cramp screaming, “Plot armor? I have never heard of it.”
What is the moral of the story here? Period cramps are just the uterus cosplaying as a little fascist dictator reminding you that freedom is an illusion. And joy? That was a myth I once believed in. 💔
I feel a bit better now thanks to the medicine, but I haven't eaten today, and I have no appetite whatsoever; plus, I have insomnia + internal mood swings, + the energy of a dying pixel + mitski on repeat.
I want Fyodor to stop everything he's doing right this instant, give me lots and lots of soothing kisses on my head, and wrap his arms around me in a way that doesn't hurt until I melt into a puddle of sleepy goo. Some people crave chocolate or soup during this time; I crave physical touch and the selfish need to be babied immensely. ໒꒰ྀི ◞ ◟꒱ྀིა
there are some other things I want to talk about, but yep. that’s all I had in me for now. #validexitstageleft
