I can’t remember where sis bought these blocks of cakes from so let’s just enjoy the pictures (you) while I eat them. :D First one is Marbled Butter Cake with chocolate whirls though the butter profile is a little lacking. Likewise for the Walnut Butter Cake but the crunchy nuts gave this confection added texture and nutty fragrance.

One look at this Kueh Lapis Legit (印尼千层蛋糕), I know that it did not use enough butter in the batter. Because the genuine cake is a rich and moist butter cake baked layer by layer so much so that you can see oil stain at the base of the cake due to the copious amount of butter used.

vanilla production facts

it is an orchid

the flower blooms one day per year and must be manually pollinated. pollination causes the base of the flower to swell almost immediately, from there it takes weeks to develop into a seed pod

vanilla costs about $300/lb. this being the pulp of the fruit itself, the extract we are familiar with is dilute. second only to saffron for expense. the price also tends to fluctuate greatly depending on the abundance of any given year's crops

there are three strains of cultivated vanilla. cultivation dates as far back as the totonac people in the 12th century, who live in present day veracruz, on the eastern coast of mexico. the olmecs may have also used wild vanilla in cooking thousands of years earlier

vanilla was cultivated in european botanical gardens but not really used much for 300 years after the colombian invasion of mesoamerica until finally some idiot realized the melipona bee doesn't live there, which may not have even been the correct type of bee (possibly euglossine)

five years later (1841) a 12-year-old slave named edmond albius on the island of reunion figured out how to manually pollinate the flowers, which is an extremely delicate and difficult process. some french botanist claimed to have invented this process, and people believed him for over a century

the aroma doesn't develop until after the seed pod is harvested and processed. it must be sorted, graded, blanched, then alternately sweated and dried for 15-30 days. the blanching halts fermentation, which makes one wonder, what is a fermented vanilla seed pod like?

synthetic vanillin is derived from eugenol, from clove oil, and lignin, from any number of sources. the vast majority of synthetic vanilla is made from wood creosotes which occur as a product of lignin pyrolysis (fire). its major source is, like anything, the petrochemical industry, which requires heat to fractionally distill oil into several byproducts (kerosene, naphtha, gasoline, etc). which is to say, 85% of synthetic vanilla is made from the wood smoke of the oil industry. you might be inclined to ask "doesn't this pollute" which, if you recapture the smoke to sell its particulate creosotes to synthetic vanilla producers, no, i guess not really, or "why don't they use oil to heat the oil" because it is more profitable to sell the oil and burn wood to make it, obviously

it is difficult to tell the difference between natural and synthetic vanilla in baked goods, because the baking process burns off the distinctive notes, most of which differ by growing region (tahitian vanilla is floral, indonesian vanilla is smoky, mexican vanilla is woody or spicy, bourbon vanilla from reunion has an alcoholic richness)

price markup occurs not at the point of farming, but after the point of curing. there is no set price for green vanilla beans, but there is a set price for dried vanilla beans, after they have passed through several middlemen from farmer to broker to curing. after this point, they are marked up several more times before finally making it to grocery store shelves in the form of bottled extract

in 2017 a cyclone destroyed maybe 30-80% of madagascan vanilla crops, where possibly as much as 60-80% of the global supply of vanilla is grown. in the 5 years since then, the price has not recovered, but boy howdy, have the labels gotten more fancy in specifying when it's from madagascar, haven't they?

70% of madagascar lives below the poverty line, despite the island producing the majority of the world's supply of the second most expensive spice

by volume, the number of vanilla beans imported to the united states every year is nearly two for every single member of the population (~640m, for a ~330m population)

anyway stop pouring a whole bottle of it into a cup for a joke what the fuck is wrong with you people i hope to god that ibuprofen potion post was staged with some vaguely brown liquid. also the word vanilla etymologically derives from the latin vagina meaning sheath ok bye

Fellow Indonesian, eh? Well, Jasmine, if you smell it at night, usually there is Kuntilanak aka Ghost Woman around your place, While smelling like baked potato means it is Genderuwo? some said the smell of mud is for Pocong? Since for your story many yandere was Woman it is really good symbolism.

Terima kasih banyak bro wkwkw. Bener seperti yang kamu bilang. Ak kek ngerasa Aroma/Bau Jasmine ini cocok banget buat karakter-karakter cewe Yandere ini, Karena kayak buat aku sendiri. Yandere itu kayak Perempuan/Wanita yang Kelakuan nya itu kayak setan. Contohnya kayak ingin mencelakai individu-individu tertentu dengan cara yang nggak layak/memaksa atau bahkan sampai mencelakai orang.

Translation : Thank you very much bro hahaha. Just like what you have said, I feel that the aroma/smell of Jasmine is really suitable for these Yandere girl characters, because in my opinion. These Yandere Girl/woman has the behavior of a devil/ghost. For example, Yandere's want to harm certain individuals in inappropriate/coercive ways or even to the point of harming people to achieve their goals.

So it's somehow the end of May? Not sure how that happened, even though I have been busy so of course the time has flown by! Things done this last month include hosting family multiple times, visiting my first cat café, visiting family, wedding reception, and baking my first rhubarb pie. Somehow I managed to fit 9 books and 2 DNFs in there, and was very good about not taking too many ARCs home. I didn't even buy anything!

Also, this is the first time I think I've ever underpacked physical books for a holiday. I thought for sure that the SF book I popped in my bag would last me at least three days but no, A History of What Comes Next was a fast read and lasted one. Thank goodness for Libby and my cache of T. Kingfisher e-novellas, is all I'm saying. Reading those back to back got my reading goal back on track for the year.

Intense weekend. But the flowers are starting, I baked brownies with orange blossom water, now we're cooking an Indonesian spicy eggplant dish alongside tofu and rice, and I am going to enjoy this life I have made for myself even while I remain so scared of it being taken away.

#personal #cooking and baking #there will probably be a lot of posting about food for a while because this us where i am

[makeitmingi]

HELLO Im so happy that u tried to baked kek lapis since kek lapis is originally from malaysia sarawak (im from sarawak ^^) OH and what kind of kek lapis did u baked cause there’s many kind of kek lapis here .

ALSO I REALLY LOVE UR TCDG SERIES SO MUCH I GET SO EXCITED EVERYTIME THERES A NEW CHAPTER I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW CHAPTER !!

omg!! my grand aunt is Indonesian so I followed her method and recipe hehehe she was complaining that no one else wants to learn since it is so labour intensive!!! apparently in Indonesia, the lapis legit is made with chocolate rice so that's the version i made

thank you so much!! so happy to hear that you like TCDG

#inbox #replies #anon #im curious how the different countries make theirs #if the recipe is different

[roaringup]

journal time! come on! I have to record my life or I literally cannot remember it!

- baked the spicy chocolate cookies. As ever, so good. Cayenne and cinnamon warming but not overwhelming

- work keeps being mostly fine but then sometimes a flurry of annoyances seemingly all at once; I am managing

- walked to the library yesterday and got a bunch of novels, a Laura Shapiro book (more food history!) I haven’t read before, and an Indonesian cookbook; I’ll make soup with 🐦‍⬛ soon

- PCP appointment on Friday because I needed more T and they haven’t seen me in a while; dentist next week. Ugh/getting it over with

- overwhelmed by having so many clothes in need of mending and thus not fit for wearing under various circumstances right now; I want to make a spreadsheet inventory of literally all the clothing I have and its condition, function, etc.—genuinely think that’ll be very helpful

kink:

- with 🦑, thinking about/experiencing the interpersonal experience of obeying/being obeyed, the contours of it—how a negotiated power dynamic functions as a kind of form within interactions, like a poetic form, a convention shaping what it encompasses into a pleasingly predictable-but-not-entirely rhythm or pattern—in this case the ease of having a specific and simple role, telling or doing what one is told. 🦑 has been doing something for me daily and couldn’t do it to the same degree today, so I gave a different command to provide a different chance to (be) obey(ed)—and I was right in my intuition about the effect of that move. It was helpful to them to still get to experience that click of “he wanted it done and I’ve done it,” because that kind of interaction is reassuring, comforting, satisfying to their brain; and likewise it felt good to me to be able to convey “here’s what I want done; do it” and have it indeed done as I said, because I am a different kind of person and it’s control rather than obedience that gives me those feelings

[divorcetual]

age: 17 same age as me!

pronouns and gender: if i remember correctly he/she and transmasc in some way i think? idk you don’t have a set gender in my brain you’re just mourn

LEO !! DA LION !!!

I ❤️ divorce love loses

Alternate universe me with gojo-level blue eyes haunts my sleep. #browneyes4ever

All true yeah yeah !! And tyyy the japanese learning is going rlly well so far ^.^ I actually have a hobby for linguistics and language learning in general !! I'm semi-fluent in spanish (hoping to get the seal of biliteracy later this year if I pass the AP test), and I know bits and pieces of indonesian, hopílavayi, and italian too!! not v much tho lolz.

After I learn Japanese I'm debating continuing to learn Indonesian, or Korean bcs it has super similar grammer and syntax to Japanese. Its a whole new writing system tho so I'll probably go with Indonesian. Chinese WOULD be on the list too but I would immediately give up on the tones. Maybe one day tho when i get more familiar w/ EA languages !! Arabic has also interested me for a while but again its a whole new alphabet... Arabic has a lot of similar vocab to spanish tho and it can totally help w/ indonesian so maybe. I love bragging abt languages sorry fbjfjejs

I can def come off as introverted bcs im really non social but I get a lot of energy being around ppl, so I'd consider myself an introvert !!

YESS i love fall ^.^

[marali-iin]

I wanted sm to make this in digital, but my phone just said "nope" and we'll. Maybe in a future I'll re make this on digital, who knows

But here are my Welcome Home OC's! My babies (Idk how to draw puppets and it's obvious)

Arthemis Fitz/White : she's the vocalist of their

little duo. 19 yr old. One of the loudest neighbors

and one of the clumsinest too! Arthemis is

terrified of home and Frank's butterflies. Loves to

see Sally's acts (and might have a platonic crush

on her)

-British (the other neighbors sometimes find hard

to understand their accent)

-color palette of redish and orange tones mostely

-terrified of spiders and mantises

-has a pet snake

-sings but is also a guitarrist

-has a really shitty handwriting and grammar

- pronouns: she/they/xem

-hates fish but loves white beans

Edgar Fitz : the guitarrist of the duo. 23 yr old. The most sarcastic neighbor, likes to tell scary stories and untrue facts to Wally and Julie and gets constantly scolded for it. Likes to do staring contests with home and baking with Poppy sometimes (she's like a mother figure)

-half Vietnamese half Indonesian

-usually translates Arthemis shit writing and accent

-has a more darker color palette

-inspired on Hobie Brown (personality)

-pronouns: idk man, use whatever you want (Arthemis just uses "bro" so no one really knows)

-it's lactose intolerant, his favorite dessert is cheesecake anyway

-is who gave Arthemis their snake

Athemis and Edgar live together in the same house near Eddies office, they're a duo who decided to move out of the big city to the neighborhood, to organize all their musical ideas and catch a break. They tend to be pretty loud in their daily activities and during the making of their music, they both have a huge respect for Sally and her acting activities and they recognize her as another artist, the same goes with Wally and his paintings.

They probably have a Queerplatonic relationship between them, or just a really close friendship

thoughts on TLOU Episode 2

the set design on this episode was incredible. i loved the shot of ellie sleeping on the patch of grass in that room, as well as the sewer sequence, complete with lilypads and frogs. 

the shot of the ruined cityscape looking like an alien planet was also great. it lends a really fantastical element to the show that i think a lot of other post-apocalypse media lacks.

the opening flashback to Indonesia reminded me a lot of the book World War Z in how it portrayed the earliest days of the outbreak. I appreciate that they humanized the Indonesian characters and didn’t portray them as mindless thugs or stupidly incompetent. 

I appreciated that they added a lot more bonding between ellie, tess, and joel. we can see how easily ellie becomes attached to new people, especially stable adults. 

while tess and joel can be very brusque with her, they also crack jokes and treat her like an adult, which is nice. bella’s acting as ellie continues to stand-out, and anna torv did a wonderful job portraying tess’ grit and dry humor. 

i think changing the way the Fireflies were massacred was a smart idea. introducing FEDRA again as a threat only for them to vanish after this episode would feel half-baked, and they still let tess sacrifice herself to save joel and ellie. 

having ellie get bit a second time, for the comparison between her and tess’ wounds, was also nice, because it makes it more obvious why joel would accept that ellie’s immunity was not a one-time fluke. 

i continue to love the show’s use of vivid greens and yellows. i’m glad they don’t wash everything out to be grey and brown. it lends to the sense of childish wonder and excitement through ellie’s eyes, and also helps convey the season that they’re in.
