omg so i was panicking bc my mums recipe book was fading but she had started rewriting some of her recipes into a new book and it includes the recipe for a chutney she makes every ramadan

i didn’t post about it here yesterday but i made masala with a whole bunch of stuff in it (chickpea paneer AND tofu) (because i’m the boss and i get to do what i want) and it came out only ok (too much coriander, really old garam masala, weird taste) (edible but not ideal) and i just ate it as stew yesterday but today i made myself make basmati and eat it again as leftovers instead of ordering pizza. everybody clap

I've been waiting for the watchers to hit streaming and only very recently realized it was going to be folk horror because I've also been marathoning the genre and it popped up on a list, total coincidence 😭 otherwise I would've never known. Crimson Peak ass marketing 😭

i thought it was survivalist horror with a supernatural twist- definitely not folk horror until like halfway through the movie 😭 i think it might be something to do with regional marketing, its a very celtic sort of folk horror story which seems to have never really taken off properly in north america (assuming you're also in north america) so i guess they market it to north american audiences as another cabin in the woods sort of thing. which i think explains the poor reviews- slightly spoilery maybe? but everyone on letterboxd is complaining about how much exposition there is but that, to me, is such a part of folk horror as a genre! its not folk horror until you've sat around discussing The Evil In The Woods for a while in light of the old oral tradition.

The sweet onion chutney has returned to AldiUS early this year! As has the fig spread.

i don’t know if i’m woobifying hamlet or if i’m the only one who’s right about him. free my man he did all of that shit but i’m pleading insanity for him. he did all of that but also there’s context.

I’m both stubborn and quirked up. The latest consequence of this is: I only allow myself to keep one flavored simple syrup in the fridge for space reasons (I have dozens of condiments and sauces and pastes and pickles and it’s a shared fridge). But my latest simple syrup is beetroot. So every time I want to make a fancy coffee at home it is beet flavored. And shall be for the next several months.

What would end up making Emile more comfortable with eating more and gaining weight?

Also, why did Emile choose his business career?

Did he feel self-conscious about his eating habits or body before working in the environment he's in now that pressures him to stay trim?

Oh it is time for Emile Lore-

Emile ended up in marketing because he enjoys making art (he likes painting), but didn’t feel like it was a stable career move. Marketing can be creative though! Sort of! He’s actually very good at marketing and managing lots of smaller tasks while also planning larger ones, hence why he’s an executive.

Emile’s body has always been inclined to put on weight fairly easily, and as a child/teenager he had a slightly pudgy figure. That never really bothered him until he started climbing the corporate ladder, earning more respect, but also more attention.

By the time Emile became an executive, he was in pretty deep with the business lifestyle and way of thinking. What he needs is to step out of his box and take a good luck at what he’s missing.

I like to think that one of my other OCs (probably Farisha, since she also has a Big Office Job) meets him and thinks ‘oh, oh you poor thing’ and nudges him into hanging out with some of The Group, and making friends that aren’t business contacts.

And at first he might balk at the different body shapes on show here, acting skittish or even trying to suggest diet plans (god forbid). Once he calms down a little though, he’ll realise that his world view has got a little narrow as of late, and that maybe he should try to… expand 😎😎😎

Yes I’m always complaining but I have so much problem with people saying “Happy Ramadan” NO STOP! it’s not hard to say ‘Ramadan Mubarak’ it’s the least you can do honestly.

one thing i will say while i’m on this weird legally blonde the musical kick is that while i think nearly every change the musical makes is for the better, the one that i really dislike is making chutney windham into a complete joke. the awkwardness and tension of elle stumbling at first in the movie is genuinely great, and linda cardellini puts on such a great performance with the tiny amount of time she’s given

the structure of the original scene, where elle is clearly barely treading water and kind of drowning while questioning chutney, who is calm but not cocky or annoying, until the perm comes up and elle finds her footing and turning into this tense thing where chutney realizes what elle is getting at and starts tearing up as the questions get more accusatory, desperately going, “she’s my age, did she tell you that? how would you feel if your father married someone who was your age?” before finally breaking down with the iconic “i didn’t mean to shoot him! i thought it was you walking through that door!��� is just so much more memorable and so much better than making chutney into this weird nasally comic relief character and having the whole scene be this romp where elle is totally confident and the script keeps cracking jokes. it’s so weird that every other change is so good and yet this change for this pivotal scene is so bad
