As someone who loves Magical Realism, having such beautiful adaptations of Like Water for Chocolate and One Hundred Years of Solitude released at the same time is boosting my dopamine more than any pills I've tried so far. What an overdose.

[thepersonalquotes]

Surely the heart is not a fitting place to house hatred. But where is its place? I don't know. That is one of the universe's Unknowns. It would seem that the God's truly delight in messing things up, for in not having created a particular spot to house hatred, they have provoked eternal chaos. Hatred us forever hunting down a refuge, poking it's nose where it shouldn't, taking over sites reserved for others, invariably forcing out love.

de lo que elijo ver, de lo que me permito

decir y hacer, de lo que quiero recordar

y de lo que decido amar.”

“Kendinden kaçmak istiyordu. Bir şey düşünmek, bir şeye karar vermek, konuşmak zorunda kalmak istemiyordu. Ağzından çıkacak sözcüklerin içindeki acıyı haykırmasından korkuyordu”

Codornices en pétalos de rosas

III. Marzo

INGREDIENTES:

12 rosas, de preferencia rojas

12 castañas

2 cucharadas de mantequilla

2 cucharadas de fécula de maíz

2 gotas de esencia de rosas

2 cucharadas de anís

2 cucharadas de miel

2 ajos

6 codornices

1 pithaya

Manera de hacerse:

Se desprenden con mucho cuidado los pétalos de las rosas, procurando no pincharse los dedos, pues aparte de que es muy doloroso (el piquete), los pétalos pueden quedar impregnados de sangre y esto, aparte de alterar el sabor del platillo, puede provocar reacciones químicas, por demás peligrosas.

"Bir kişi eğer kendi tutuşturucularını zaman içinde keşfedemezse, içindeki kibritler nemlenir, hiçbir şekilde yanmaz olur. O zaman ruhumuz bedenimizi terkeder. Karanlıkların içinde el yordamıyla boş yere kendisine besin arar. Ona besin sağlayacak tek kaynağın terk ettiği, soğuktan titreyen o vücutta olduğunu bilmez."
