What if Hell was just a big pot of perpetual stew? Oh you killed 5 people in cold blood then stole candy from babies? Sorry you're going in the Forever Sin Soup
#So apparently perpetual stews are real and I want to make one with friends now I think it'd be fun#I thought you had to have a microbiome based food to do that#like how you use the bacterial or yeast growth from sourdough starters and fermented drinks#I want to learn the science behind it now I'm so fascinated by it#people are so so cool I love people#jesus is the original forever soup#what if instead of wine he turned water into soup is that anything?#anyways that's my rambles for the day they can't all be bangers#I gotta talk about soups and stews instead of jesus#ex christian#religious trauma

nellie the biologist and keiko oh i’m there with u…. now i have to read sourdough
sourdough is a very good book but i will warn you that lois is a much more likable and mentally stable character than nellie, the biologist, and keiko! still i cannot recommend the book enough, let me know what you think when you read it!
#<3#the book is all about food culture & where it intersects with community identity history myth art technology etc#it also launched my sourdough baking phase in high school (pre-covid btw i was ahead of the curve on that one)#& my fascination with the science behind fermentation & microbiomes#idk if anyone remembers what i said about the movie the menu but i thought the commentary on modern food culture#was out of touch & contrived - this is the exact opposite imo#it's very in touch with innovation within the world of culinary arts & directly alludes to historical movements within that field#as well as other significant movements in food history/innovation while being a forward thinking piece of speculative fiction#about the future of food technology !#it's an apt & grounded commentary that balances the possibilities of the future with the importance of the past#& necessary caution about the human ego when it comes to interfering with natural processes etc#but on a character level i think it's a very joyful optimistic exploratory book! & i love that about lois#anyway i've probably read it at least 8 times lol & i think it's time for a reread#it's a perfect summer book to me#something about robin sloan is that you can tell he had fun writing his books & that makes them fun to read
