Somewhat..

>> Monday, January 11, 2010


Lately, I've been somewhat... lazy. I didn't bother to blog (haa!), didn't bother to study for exams or finish assignments. I've been really unmotivated for some reason. I wonder whether it's the cold outside or that I just couldn't bother. Everything seems to be denser when I'm working closer to deadline. Of course, afterwards I'll keep telling myself that this is the last time - next time I will start doing things early. And I never will. How can I become a scientist if I keep up like this?

 
Despite all, I haven't been completely inactive.

 
I have made lots of rye bread meanwhile - with and without seeds, hazelnuts, dried apricots etc. All of it has been very tasty. My latest experiment was pita bread, which should be relatively easy to make. Yes, things that are easy to make are also the easiest to be screwed up. The trick to making pita was to knead like a mad-woman for half an hour in the stickiest dough imaginable (quite like ciabatta dough) and then, when it was elastic enough, add olive oil, and oh all the wondrous glory of the world, it was p e r f e c t. Unfortunately my shady and shambled oven doesn't heat over 250 C. This prolonged the baking time, but didn't damage the texture, flavour and most importantly - the formation of the pocket - pita's trademark characteristics, if you will. Next big experiment will be hummus - that is if I visit Stockmann in the nearer future.



In the department of My Latest Obsessions you can find kakaopuding and photographing ice on my window but I've also taken fancy to cutting out snowflakes from parchment paper (as an alternative to origami by creating an unnecessary pile of small cut-outs, and a huge mess on the table).


So my dear and inexistent readers, I will try to review some of my favourite anime in the nearer future, but yea, I don't exactly know when. Until then, read something creepy, like Natsuo Kirino's "Out".

For the record, we're not inexistent! =)
