Oh My God

THANK YOU FOR THIS NEWS

And yeah, I know I should be going for the full fish, head and tail, but there was literally nothing acceptable on offer — no whole snapper, the sea bass didn’t look fresh, the pomfret was thin-looking. The HMart fish counter let me down!

me: I want that one, but cut off the end part, please
him: I’m not allowed to trim fillets
me: so I want this one. no, wrong one.
him: this?
me: that’s catfish
him: no it’s not
me: it’s under the catfish sign
him: no it’s not
me: well, I don’t like the look of it. how about that one?

Saturday: did the marketing, including a culturally authentic argument with the Asian market fish guy*

Sunday: prepped the ice cream custard base and orange marmalade

Monday: EGG WHITE BREAKFAST OFF TO THE RACES

I was screaming

I was excitedly saying to Mr Rhod, “Is he dressed as a cardinal? Look at his sash! Look at the fake closures on his front! Look at how he almost had the collar???”

He was so skeptical until the music started

THE POPE IS DEAD

Bluesky skeet from @aegidiusrexxx.bsky.social that reads as follows: “Is my fanfiction good" "will a lot of people read/like my fanfiction" GIRL FORGET ABOUT ALL THAT FOR A SECOND your top aspiration when writing fanfiction should be making it so weird, someone will read it at 16 and never forget it as long as they live

amen

Both a Duty and a Joy

so the menu is now:

Red-cooked pork belly
Golden egg dumplings with Napa cabbage and vermicelli
Openfaced soup dumpling
Halibut steamed on shitake mushrooms and Shanghai bok choy
Silken tofu with century eggs
Shanghai stir fried rice cakes

which is, if you’re playing along at home, is Chinese mom for, “You should definitely make these”

they’re traditional for Chinese New Year, and every time she sees my Shanghaiese cookbook, my mother sighs about how many years it’s been since she has had it, but then hastily reassures me that it’s just SO much work and SO annoying to make

but also her grandmother made them

once again, my traditional annual dither about making 蛋餃 (golden egg dumplings)

anyways I stand by it: jgy did nothing wrong 🥰🥰🥰

so I’ve got this tote box of stickers that have historically been too precious and delightful to use, but every year, I bust it out to decorate my Hobonichi

Oh my god, what an incredible INCREDIBLE idea

"They made me feel really old,” he says. “They were like, ‘What is a wolf and why is it on parade?’ And I was like, ‘I hate both of you.’ And I was like, ‘Feist? 1,2,3,4?’ And they’re like, ‘Oh yeah, we watched that on Sesame Street.’ And I was like, ‘Again, I’d like to push you down a flight of stairs. Your youth enrages me.’”

ngl I feel much more strongly about b-couple than I expected to, and also consider: the xiyao of it

Ooh this is a good reminder to go re-read it!!!

I loved Alix Harrow’s the Everlasting ENORMOUSLY

We’ve been using Libro for the past few months and really like it!

I just bribed Kid Rhod into going grocery shopping with me by promising to read him bits of Throgmorten from the books while we walked there

I need to put my head into a bucket of cold water

stayed up too late reading Chrestomanci, which I feel is exactly what 12 year old me would’ve done if I had known these books existed

I’m vibrating at a level that produces just a high-pitched HUMMING in the air

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! holy SHIT holy SHIT HOLY SHIT

I have just met Throgmorten, and I am so utterly charmed????

honestly. HONESTLY. THIS IS ROMANCE.
