#sorry for the literal essay of a recipe </3

[honeytuesday]

drop the oil blend bestie 🤲🏼

of COURSE bestie <333 (feel free to blatantly disregard any real measurements and pour with your heart as is tradition)

☀️honey's hair oil☀️

ingredients:

300 mL coconut oil

200 mL castor oil

100 mL red pimento oil (the true golden ingredient -- i use this one)

3 tbsp fenugreek seeds (methi)

handful of curry leaves (fresh if possible)

handful of dried hibiscus flowers

optional - 1 tbsp nigella seeds (kalonji) (NOTE: i don't add this but my sweet mother says it helps and well why not)

big jar to hold it all (:

recipe: (time ~15 minutes)

combine coconut, castor, and pimento oil in your favorite pot (this one has more love already stored in it)

heat to a gentle simmer

add methi, kalonji, and curry leaves - stir so they don't get permanently banished to the bottom

add dried hibiscus 1 minute after (arbitrary time value warning--i just got bored at that point)

politely kick out anyone that came into the kitchen to investigate

turn off the heat when methi starts to darken (take off stove about 2 minutes after fully dark)

continue to occasionally stir as it cools

pour entire contents of pot into jar (including all the solid parts--let those steep for a week before straining them out)

treatment:

once a week (i mean it's not gonna kill you if you do more)

heat up oil and massage through hair

let sit for a couple of hours (minimum one hour)

shampoo and condition as usual

follow up with a leave-in cream if you want an extra boost

note: the first time you massage oil through your hair, weaker strands may come loose/fall out at a higher volume than usual--don't panic, trust the process

Harringrove teachers AU part 3

Part 1 - Part 2 

Thank you to everyone who read, liked and/or reblogged the previous parts. Also, the people who said something nice in the tags or in reactions own my heart. Just thought you should know ;) <3 

Tag list: @twoprettyboys, @inkedplume​, @marianaosborne​, @liglitterbug​, @hmg621 @spreckle @goldenweatherharringrove @yikesharringrove @yogurtfordinner @wingedbears @charlotte-frey @hargrovesharrington​

If anyone wants to be added to or taken off the tag list for the future posts of this AU, let me know ;)

I hope the tags are working because I recently had some trouble with them (ah, Tumblr is a mess). 

I was planning on keeping the chapters short but every part has been longer than the last so far ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (then again, it’s still pretty short so I guess it’s fine ^^). 

I’ll stop rambling now.

*

Billy didn’t know how he had ended up in this situation, this situation being Steve and he making out in the otherwise empty teachers’ lounge, but he certainly wasn’t complaining. He wanted to keep Steve’s soft lips on his forever. Sadly, he didn’t get his way: there was a loud bang, and suddenly Steve’s lips were gone. Steve was gone too, as well as the teachers’ lounge. Billy woke up at home, in his bed, hard as a rock in the basket-ball shorts he was wearing as pajamas.

Great, he got an erection just from dreaming he and Steve were kissing. What was he? A teenager? That was pathetic.

Billy was considering rubbing one out, despite the embarrassment, but there was another loud bang that made him remember why he had woken up in the first place.

What the fuck was happening this early on a Saturday?

Billy instantly worried Max had fallen or, worse, that someone had broken into the flat and would hurt her (highly improbable in such a small town, but Billy wasn’t alert enough to be logical). The concern killed his arousal in two seconds tops. He shot up from bed and exited his bedroom in a hurry.

He found Max in their open kitchen, mixing what appeared to be pancakes ingredients.

“What was that noise?” He asked, in lieu of a greeting.  

“I dropped the pan. Sorry.”

“There were two noises.”

“I dropped the mixing bowl too. Let me live! It’s your fault, you stored both these things on the highest shelf” Max complained.

“Hey, no need for a defense, I’m not accusing you. I was just worried, shitbird.”

“Oh… well, I’m okay.”

“And you’re making pancakes, so I’m certainly not going to complain.” Billy added.

“Who told you I was making some for you?”

Billy pouted, even though he knew Max was bluffing. He could see the amount of batter in the mixing bowl. She had quite an appetite, but there was no way she’d be able to eat all of that on her own.

“So mean, so early in the morning.”

“What can I say, I love messing with you.”  

Paradoxically, Billy was happy that she did. When they had first met, he’d been a perpetually angry teenager, and teeny tiny Max had done everything she could to stay out of his way. Once Susan had announced she was ill, though, Billy had tried his hardest to be the brother Max deserved. After Susan’s death, Billy had looked after Max and kept her safe from his father until he had turned legal. He had then fought to get Max away from Neil and had obtained full custody of her.  

It had been hard to balance getting his degree, working part-time jobs, and taking care of Max. Even more so with Neil trying to steer trouble every now and again. But they had made it out alright, in the hand, and Billy didn’t regret a second of it.

“Sit your ass down.” Max said as she turned the stove on.

“Oh no, no way. You ‘sit your ass down’. I’ll take it from here.”

Max was good at finding the best recipes and at mixing ingredients, but the cooking process was another thing entirely: she had nearly burned the kitchen down almost every time she had tried using the oven or the stove. Her cooking privileges had been revoked after the fifth time.

“Ugh, fine.”

Billy had two plates full on pancakes in no time. He put one in front of Max and went to sit down with his own on the other side of the table. The second his ass touched his chair, Max asked:

“So, you have plans with Steve and Robin this afternoon?”

Billy frowned.

“First of all, it’s Mrs. Buckley and Mr. Harrington for you”, he started, just to get on her nerves (he didn’t give a fuck how she called her teachers), “and second, how do you know that?”

Max arched an eyebrow.

“You literally talked about it with Steve right in front of me yesterday”, she said, ignoring Billy’s reprimand (no surprise, there).

“Oh… right… I did.”

Truthfully, Billy had stopped paying attention to Max and El the second he had laid eyes on Steve and the dumb spot of blue paint that had been resting on his cheek as if it had any right to.

“So, what are you guys going to do?”

“Not that it’s any of your business, but we’re going to grade papers.”

“Well, that’s exciting.”

Her sarcasm was off the charts.

“Tell me about it”, Billy mumbled, around a mouthful of pancake.

“Ew, gross.”

Billy stuffed even more pancake into his mouth, in defiance, before he spoke again:

“So, Art club, uh? What’s up with that?”

They hadn’t had an opportunity to talk about it the day before, because Friday night was movie night, and they had eaten dinner in front of the tv. Plus, Billy would have been too distracted to hold a conversation (Steve hadn’t left his mind).

“Steve said I should come. He noticed I haven’t been speaking to a lot of people, and he said it might help to do an activity in a smaller group…” Max wasn’t looking at Billy as she explained.

“Anyway, I think he was right. He’s the best!” She beamed as she said it, finally looking up from her slowly but surely diminishing pile of pancakes.

“That’s good. I’m glad.”

Billy was glad, really. He was also a bit frustrated that Steve had managed to talk to Max about making friends, when Billy hadn’t known how to bring it up without offending her, but he wasn’t petty enough to show he had a problem with it. Even if Max calling Steve “the best” was treason of the highest order, Billy just wanted her to be happy. If Steve’s intervention helped more than Billy himself could, then so be it.

They finished breakfast, got ready for the day and then went grocery shopping. As they got back to the flat, Max went to her room to chill, and Billy read for a while before he started preparing lunch. Keeping busy distracted him from thinking about seeing Steve in the afternoon. Well, he didn’t think about it too much, at least.

-

When Billy made his way into the coffee shop, Steve and Robin were already seated, talking animatedly… in another language.

“Hi. Was that Italian?”

They must not have noticed him approaching, because as soon as he greeted them, they stopped talking, and Steve looked up at him like a deer caught in the headlights.

“Hey Billy”, Robin said, “as a matter of fact, it was.”

“Don’t you teach French and Spanish?”

Billy was perplexed.

“I do. Doesn’t mean I don’t speak Italian.”

“It figures”, Billy shrugged.

He wanted to ask Steve where he had learnt Italian, because it intrigued him. However, he chose not to. He didn’t want to talk to him unless it was necessary. It’d be better for everyone if they had the bare minimum of interactions together, surely.

“Are these new piercings?” Robin asked, gesturing toward his ears.

“Uh, no. I’ve had them for a long time. I just don’t wear them at school.”

“Well, you should. They look really cool, and I’m sure no one would have anything to say about it.”

Billy stared at Steve pointedly, but Steve looked away as soon as he caught his gaze.

“I’ll think about it.” Billy finally said.

Steve and Robin already had their orders, so Billy took his wallet from his bag and went to the counter. He glanced at the display case and eyed the cherry pie with envy, but decided against it. After this morning’s pancakes, it wouldn’t be reasonable. Plus, he hadn’t hit the gym in a few days. He had to start indulging less if he wanted to stay in shape. He went for a simple black coffee. As the burly man behind the counter, whom Billy guessed to be Benny, asked him if he wanted anything else, Billy nearly surrendered, but he powered through. He handed Benny a ten-dollar bill and put the change he was given in one of his pockets.

When Billy went back to their table with his cup of coffee, Steve was blowing on his cup of steaming hot tea. Billy’s eyes caught on the ‘o’ shape of Steve’s lips, which reminded him of his dream. He averted his eyes, praying to God he wasn’t blushing, now that he couldn’t hide it behind his tan anymore (screw Hawkins, Indiana).

As Billy sat down, he noticed Steve had a piece of the pie he’d been eyeing. Not fair. He nearly started pouting but caught himself. After all, his pie-less state was his own fault. Why did he have to be reasonable?

Billy took his pen and the essays he had to grade out of his backpack to give himself something to focus on. But then Steve started eating. And he moaned. Quite obscenely.

“Mh, this is so good. Benny is a magician. You guys want a bite?”

Billy really wanted to say yes, not only because he wanted pie, but because Steve was the one offering. It would have been weird, though? Right?

“No thanks” he ended up saying. What a hard thing to say.

Robin had no such qualms. She needn’t have, since she and Steve were actually friends. Not only did she get to experience Steve warmth and kindness, she also got a bite of his pie. Did she even know how lucky she was?

Billy got into his grading. And he was already past the no-pouting stage of the afternoon. It sucked to be him, sometimes.

“You should probably wait for Steve to finish eating… and drinking too, to be honest, before you put your students’ paper on the table. That man is a disaster.”

Billy had to admit Robin was right. He ate lunch with Steve on a regular basis, and had therefore seen him spill a bunch of things on himself. Thankfully, nothing he had ever spilled had reached Billy, so they were probably safe.

“Oh come on! We’re on opposite ends of the table.” Steve objected.

“I know, but I’m sure you’d find a way.”

Steve scoffed but didn’t try to argue his case any further. He looked adorably ruffled when Robin laughed at his expanse.

They didn’t say anything more for a while, as they were finally doing what they had come here to do. At some point, though, Robin brought up a point one of her students had made about the French translation of “Newspeak” in George Orwell’s 1984, which led her and Billy to launch a discussion about the novel.

Steve offered no input whatsoever, but he had stopped grading and had been staring at them for five minutes straight.

It was making Billy’s skin itch.

At some point, he couldn’t take it anymore and asked:

“What’s your opinion Steve?”

“Uh… I… I don’t really have one.” He stammered, caught off guard.

“How come?”

“I, uh, I haven’t actually read the book.”

“Oh. Well, you should. It’s an amazing book.”

Steve fidgeted with his red pen, repeatedly taking the cap off and then putting it back on.

“Uh… I don’t know about that. It’s not really my thing.”

“How can you know it’s not your thing if you haven’t read it?” Billy asked, a tad defensively.

“I didn’t mean the book… I meant, reading.”

Steve bit his lower lip.

“Why not? Is that beneath a math buff such as yourself, or something?” Billy’s tone had become hostile.

And, by pulling accusations out of his ass like that, he had gone from defensive to straight up aggressive.

“No. ‘course not… It’s just… reading is hard for me… I’m, uh… I’m dyslexic, so…” Steve trailed off, looking down at the pen he was seemingly holding in a vice grip.

Billy was speechless with shame and regret, as Steve offered a wobbly smile and said: “I’m gonna… go get some more tea”, before leaving the table.

Billy stared at his retreating form before he turned to Robin and found her glaring at him. If he could have felt worse than he already did, he would have.

“So… should I go apologize right now or should I leave him alone and apologize later?”

Teenage Billy would have probably not apologized at all, but present-time Billy knew better. He felt like the biggest jerk.

“I’d say, go for it.”

Billy followed Robin’s advice and, with knots in his stomach, he went to Steve, who was waiting for his tea behind the counter.

“Steve, man… I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay…” Steve said, but his eyes didn’t leave his own shoes.

That wouldn’t do. Billy had made Steve feel shitty, and he would make it better if it were the last thing he did.

“No, it’s not. I shouldn’t have pushed.”

Billy had let his frustration with Steve get the better of him, and that was unacceptable. Steve was not particularly nice to him, so what? It wasn’t a reason to be outright mean to the guy.

“Really, it’s no big deal… It’s not like it’s a secret… my dyslexia, I mean.”

“Yeah, but you obviously didn’t want to share this piece of info with me, and I should have dropped it.”

“I just… I was afraid you’d find me stupid… But you probably thought I was stupid already, anyway… what with me never having anything interesting to say when Robin and you talk about literature.”

“Hey, I don’t…”

Benny placed Steve’s cup of tea on the counter, cutting Billy mid-sentence.

“It’s on me”, Billy said, fishing his five-dollar bill of change out of his jean’s back pocket and handing it to Benny.

“You didn’t have to.”

Was Steve blushing or was it a trick of the light?

“I want to make it up to you.”

“There’s nothing to make up for, but thanks.”

Steve grabbed his cup of tea and was going to go back to their table, but Billy held him back.

“Wait… I want you to know I don’t find you stupid, okay? I know I’m kind of a jackass, but not enough of one to actually think dyslexic people are stupid.”

“Good to know”, Steve replied.

“So, are we good?”

“I told you, we are.” Steve assured, smiling brighter than he had ever smiled at Billy before.

The knots in Billy’s stomach loosened, and his heart filled with warmth. So that was how it felt, when Steve’s sunshine fell upon you? Billy couldn’t wait to experience that feeling again.

“We should get back to Robin.”

“We should” Billy echoed, before following Steve, awestruck.

well Michael still chose Maria again over Alex.

Hey anon! I left this alone for a hot second because I didn't wanna just say 'yeah lol' because I'm not a dick. However, I have been thinking about this and I have an idea about it and I made a post earlier but it was kinda all in the tags because I'm scared to have opinions sometimes so I'll say something here because I feel better about it! Fair warning, I am so far up Michael Guerin's ass it's a problem and that is my fault.

Anyway, I think the main reason this is/keeps happening when Guerin literally has the man he's loved for over a decade right there is 100% self-esteem and abandonment issues. And, honestly, I think it’s a good thing. I mean obviously I don’t like that it’s hurting Alex in the process and I think Michael is being an idiot, but I don’t think he and Alex need to be together when they’re like they are.

I think the reason why, right now, it’s easier for him to be with Maria is because she literally let’s him do whatever the hell he wants and accepts it and enables him. She gives playful banter and gets just angry enough for it to feel like she’s not doing that, but that’s what it is. It’s not even just accepting someone for who they are, it’s literally, at it’s core, enabling someone to be their worst and not being able to push someone to be better. Liz said it when she was talking about Diego that he pushed her to be better, but the feelings weren’t there, and I think it’s the opposite for Michael and Maria. You do need more than love and he and Alex do have that, they’re just not in a place outside of those feelings to actually handle them the right way. 

He’s settling because this feels like unconditional, positive attention to him even though in the long run it’s literally a recipe for disaster for both of them.

My personal opinion on how I would like it to go would be Michael realizing on his own that he wants to be a better person and working towards that and realizing that Maria enables him to stay in the same rut he’s been in for 10 year and ends it with her to make himself better and then realizing the person that pushes him to be better is Alex and he does genuinely feel better when he’s acting like the man he wants to be which just so happens to be the man Alex deserves. I don’t even really want there to be a correlation. I want him to get better first as himself and then go for Alex, I don’t want him to try to mold into what Alex wants. I want them to be themselves and happy.

However, the way I think it’s gonna go based on Carina’s pattern of behavior is this: this back and forth is gonna go on for a few weird episodes and then Michael is going to see Alex with Forrest and get all jealous. Maria is going to see them and be like “I deserve better than this” and “I’m so stupid” and so on and Michael will deny it and she’ll believe him like twice because let’s be real this is a fanfiction we’re watching. Then in the episode before the finale of this season something’s gonna Happen to make Michael flip his little switch or force Maria to see that Michael is not over him no matter what she wants and then they’ll be over, but Alex will be with Forrest and it’ll pose another fucking conflict and season 3 will be about Micahel trying to prove that he’s better or some shit. It’s gonna be dumb, but I’m gonna watch it because I’m stupid. 

Sorry for the literal essay response that is so close to MLA format I’m kinda scared of myself. Hope this makes sense to anyone who actually bothered to read this lol

[angustully]

hi, could i get the recipe for the soup you made recently? life has been, hm, bad, so i would like something cozy to counteract it!

hey friend! sorry youre having a rough time :( you should know its ham & bean soup so if you dont eat meat you can omit the ham all together or maybe add tofu? idk how good that would taste but if you try it let me know lol!

 so the base recipe i used is this: https://www.budgetbytes.com/ham-bean-soup/ and ill put all my notes/modifications below bc i am nothing if not long winded for NO reason!

ok so firstly i didnt use a slow cooker, i just threw everything into the biggest pot i had in the house. this recipe is also based around a “16 bean mix” but i didnt even see that at my grocery store so i just got a bag of great northern beans. 

i adjusted a lot of things to my liking: im not a big fan of celery or onion, so i only used 2 stalks of celery and half of a yellow onion (and i cut them kinda small so i wouldnt have big chunks of it) and i also only used 1 carrot though i probably could have put in a second one lol.

 i just wanted it to be mostly beans (which i achieved!) but if i ever make this again ill prob throw in more veggies. i had pre-minced garlic (like in the jar) and i think i only used a heaping teaspoon or something. 

OH and we had a bag of those little tiny potatoes so i quartered maybe 10 or 12 of those bad boys and put em in too, i would recommend that (i think any potato would work, the small ones were just easier to cut and i had them already). honestly i really did turn into my mom and just eyeballed everything lmao. 

ALSO, the ham part of this came from my stepdad who cooked like a whole ass hambone on sunday and then let me have all the leftovers for this soup. the principle is the same though, you put the ham hocks (as it calls for in the recipe) in w the soup while its all cooking and then once the beans/potatoes/veggies are all cooked enough you just pull it out and shred the meat off the bone, discard the bone/fat and then put the meat back in w the soup.

as for spices, i mean it is literally just ham & bean soup lol so its kind of bland to begin with i guess but i think even the 1tsp was a little too much oregano (i always forget that i dont really like oregano), so if that would be a prob for you id add less than what the recipe calls for. i added a fuckton of pepper bc i like it, and i also added a ¼ tsp of liquid smoke which im not sure added THAT much flavor but my dad suggested it and hes a good cook so thats what i did lol. i also think smoked paprika would be a good addition to it. and i didnt use chicken broth/stock/bouillon or anything, i just added about 10 cups of water to the pot bc thats what it took to make sure everything was covered and mostly submerged. 

tbh everything cooked a lot faster than i expected, the recipe says simmer for 2-4 hours but my beans and potatoes were all well cooked within 90 mins. it looked thin to begin with but as it sits it thickens up so if thats a prob for you too dont worry about it as much as i did lol.

and thats it!!! jesus i really wrote a whole essay about this for no reason im sorry lol! i also made cornbread to go with it, just a plain box of jiffy mix and it was perfect i would highly recommend. if you make the soup (or if you even read all of this post LOL) let me know how it is! and i hope it brings some comfort

[deafandblindanddumb]

thanks for answers! say, why do you like part 7? what do like in it?

Omg there are so many reasons! Idk if you’ve read it or not so I’ll avoid spoilers, but the bromance between Gyro and Johnny is amazing (also Gyro is my favorite JoJo character), plus unlike other parts where there’s a big group and only a couple characters get the screentime they deserve, Part 7 focuses mostly on Johnny and Gyro so they both get a lot of development. They’re also probably the two JoJo characters who are the most like real people, with real motivations and personality traits.

Also IMO Part 7 perfects the recipe laid out in Parts 3 and 5: like those two parts, it’s a journey where the characters find themselves constantly attacked by a number of stand users along the way, but unlike Part 3 which has some fairly simple and uninteresting stands, and Part 5 which doesn’t give the characters any room to breathe or develop themselves (it literally takes place over 8 days), Part 7 has plenty of interesting stands and takes place over several months which gives its characters time to be real people and have moments of character growth.

In addition to all of that, Part 7 has some of the best minor characters in the whole series: Ringo Roadagain in particular deserves his own book, plus there’s plenty of other great characters like Pocoloco, Sandman, Blackmore, Wekapipo, and Lucy Steel. Add to this the fact that Part 7 has some of the best emotional moments in the series (and an ending that makes me cry every time) and to me there’s really no contest.

I will concede that Part 7 has one major problem, which is the main villain: Funny Valentine’s motivations make sense, but he’s an incredibly boring character with a needlessly confusing (and uninteresting) stand that gets waaaay too much screen time that minor villains like Blackmore deserved more. Also I feel like the final fight is far too long-winded, but that’s sort of a nitpick on my part. Overall though, I’d say the rest of Part 7 is so amazing in general that the one major flaw is not enough to prevent it from being my favorite part. Sorry for the essay lol

Hiking, cold, and other things 2.0 (11.14)

I couldn’t finish the previous post, let me try it again.

On thursday I bought the guitar, so this obviously meant that I couldn’t really concentrate on the courses for the rest of the day, bought a pack of new strings, changed them right after I got home. On thursday evening we went to a small Sisha (vizipipa for the hungarians) place with Óscar, Adele, Filip and Oliver in the (until this point I thought jewish, bit it turned out to be muslim) district called Albajcin. I’m not smoking this thing anymore the place nevertheless the place was really nice, had this muslim vibe, owner/waiter was definitely arabic, cause he was incredibly friendly. The guys bought a sisha with some peach taste, I had a Tinto. Oliver came later, also Adele had some friends visiting from the Czech Republic, they also joined us, it was a great evening! (No pics sadly, sorry)

On friday I went hiking with some new people I got to know in the past few weeks, we went to a place called Los Cahorros which is basically a canyon / gulch (see the pictures), we had a circleish hike, with some uphills and downhills, it was beatiful 14-15 km, not too much, just perfect. The place is close to Granada, 30 min by bus from the center, ticket is 3 EUR in total, would definitely recommend this to anybody who’s visiting Andalucia. I didn’t have time to go home before my evening class so I ended up going there straight from the bus wearing dirty boots and stinky clothes, I’m sure my classmates appreciated it. Since I was pretty tired, I managed to lose my powerbank somewhere at the faculty kinda of a bummer I bought it back in the US 3 years ago and it’s been doing a great job ever since... I was dead tired, went home to sleep straight after class. 

On saturday I did some studying, started to write an essay cause the deadline is actually on this sunday, thought maybe it’s time to do something useful. In the evening I went to get a tea with Óscar, had a nice talk in this bar called Granada Mar (we’ve been coming here in the past few weeks, nice place, cheap drinks, good tapas, pool etc.). Long story short we ended up in a house party in an american dude called Jeremy’s place. He attended a few of the erasmusicians meetings, also played a jam thing with him on the pervious open mic, and as it turned out he invited everybody from the erasmusicians whatsapp group. Eventually we were the only ones with Óscar who eventually showed up from this group, it was a cool party anyway. We decided just to check in for an hour or so, we ended up staying a bit longer, got home around 3 am. The most interesting thing about this party is the location. Jeremy’s living in the city center. Check. On the main square where THE cathedral is. Check. On the top floor. Check. With a living room above the whole flat basically, so from the windows I could see above the rooftops, and the other direction I could see almost the roof of the cathedral. Check...It was mind blowing...I’ll try to make a pic of the place from the outside when I’ll be around there next time..The whole flat is renovated with a lot of small innovative ideas and solutions, the toilet for example was under the stairs, which led to the living room (which is above the kitchen...can you still follow me?), like Harry Potter’s bedroom at the Dursley’s place...Okay enough about the flat. The people at the party were literally from all over the world, Venezuela, US, Portugal, Germany, Romania, Bolivia, Belgium etc. ...We were just about to leave when Jeremy mentioned a jam session and well, since both Óscar and I kinda like music, we thought maybe we could stay for a bit longer..We ended up playing some old school hit songs in a crowded kitchen, Óscar/Jeremy/me/this dude named Gus from Venezuela playing the guitar and singing, Jeremy’s friend Ryan playing the cajon, and the rest of the people were also singing along! It was proper fun!

On sunday after a long internal debate I decided to go out to see how street music works around here. Plan was to go out and play somewhere around the cathedral. On the square in front of Jeremy’s place I stumbled into a british dude, Dan, who I knew from the party the previous night and from previous erasmusician meetings, he has a killer voice, and plays the violin. We played a few songs together but I didn’t want to annoy him for long so I went to look for my own place. Found a nice but windy square not far from the cathedral (it was freakin cold on sunday...brrrr). I have to admit I expected something else. I was playing there for about 40 minutes, aaand I earned about 30 cents. Not my best day. Went to Albajcin to try it again there with some help from Sara (she’s the girl from the video I uploaded from the open mic, we were playing together) and guess what, her presence made a bit of a difference. No wonder why, she can actually sing!

On monday I went climbing again with a dude called Niklas from the economics course. It was probably my worst session since I’ve started climbing (not because of him), I felt so weak, it was just awful, let’s not talk about that..

On tuesday I had a little gathering at my place, I invited Adele, Sara, Óscar and Oliver over to drink some glühwein together. I also made some “not so fancy” cake with banana in it (huge thanks to my sister for the recipe!), turned out pretty good! We played some UNO, and some other games, had a great time, I could write more about it but that wouldn’t really do justice..

On wednesday I went to Jeremy’s place again to practice a song for the open mic with him, Ryan and a french girl who’s gonna sing the song (”I’ll take care of you - Joe Bonamassa” if anybody’s interested). It’s gonna be good I think!

Today, thursday, I had the International Organizations course, with some “awesome” groupwork (Why on earth do these people here like it so much?! WHY?!), and the Magreb course, with a new professor who’s gonna be the lecturer for the rest of the semester. Of course, she also thought that some groupwork would be great (WHY?! I even took my laptop with me to finish the essay I’m supposed to hand in by sunday), but wait, there’s more. She turned on some arabic, middle eastish music, “to help us to concentrate on the task”...What the actual...Whatever, survived it somehow. Gotta admit, going to class is my least favorit thing since I actually made some friends...Ops. Okay maybe not the economic course, I kinda like that, I even accidentaly met the professor at the climbing place on monday..But the rest of the courses...Meh.

I think,

that’s all folks!

[changji]

Wow you really went off the other day but at least it was worth it 😪 I normally look at the scenery when I’m on a road trip, but then I get bored of it and decide to sleep bc there’s nothing else to do. Motion sickness must suck :(( do you take gravol or something to help with it? Coffee literally drains the life out of my funds it hurts me

Yes omg pls make me cookies I love them. Maybe you can even open a bakery with pastries and sell some good /cheap/ coffee. Ilyt my dear baker 🥺 ye I’m not the biggest fan of my bday either but gotta celebrate anyway!! One year closer to death woohoo 🎉🎉 your birthday is the most important day of the year!!! You can’t fight me on this I’m right

Pearls are so good. Like most places I go to don’t add anything to the pearls so it’s just bland squishy balls but the place I frequent adds I think honey to sweeten them. It gives the pearls life istg. It tastes so good 🤤 hollering is a funny word. For some reason I always associate it with yodelling which makes me laugh

Ksks you must be op if you can make a joke in the wall with a door slam. I can’t relate my arms are literally sticks and I have no strength in me. Chrome books are terrible in general. Add my schools terrible wifi and you get one big recipe for disaster. I’d never fight u either (unless it’s for your bday) ily too much for that 🥺🥺🥺

Hahah I think it’s me. I haven’t heard anyone say “go ham” except for the people who go to my school. I find it really funny tho so I try to incorporate it whenever I can LOL easily burnt? Can’t relate but apparently I easily tan. There’s this one diagonal stripe on my shoulder that separates pale me and tan me which ??? How did that happen and what was I wearing for that to happen??

It’s all fun and games until you go outside and see a mountain of snow waiting for you to be shovelled. But there are some good aspects to winter, like skating and skiing and all that fun stuff. Snow is so heavy?? Or maybe I’m just weak but after I finish shovelling I’m beat. Gardening is not my thing. There’s too many bugs involved flying around 🥴

Kind of? I always thought it was short for cappuccino but I could be wrong. They don’t taste like fraps tho, they’re sm better. I was always a frap hoe until I discovered lattes. My old elementary school was close to a Starbucks so whenever frappy hour was happening, my friends and I would go almost every day LOL

I heard that dunkin coffee is really good. Oof there’s so many things that the us have that Canada doesn’t. But apparently you guys don’t have ketchup chips?? How can one live without them? You know that’s what soulmates are, we’re stuck together forever and I don’t mind that. I’d never leave you 😌😌

YES OMG LATTES ARE SO EXPENSIVE. I pay around the same amount and my wallet cries every time. If you ever yeet yourself off a bridge I’d come visit u in hell and bring u iced coffee 💖 we really are soulmates wtf I get almond milk in my lattes as well!! I used to get normal milk and was like “I’m a bad bitch milk can’t hurt me” but that didn’t really work out. Sigh what we do for coffee 😔

Washing dishes is disgusting. I hate doing them but yk someone’s gotta do it and that someone is me 😤 I’m acc lazy when it comes to smoothies, I usually ask my mom to make them LMAO. Pancakes are pretty much made of flour if you think about it so technically when u eat one plain ur eating cooked flour,, how barbaric. Waffles are Built. Like. They have a 20 pack 😪😪

I love angst personally so pls go ham but not too ham I’d like to keep my heart. Honestly at this point my last brain cell has given up on me. But yes I love angst and I love torturing myself with heart wrenching angst that leaves me crying into my pillow at 3am (I’m talking about this one haikyuu fic that I forgot the name of. I was literally dying inside jalsjwo)

Pls do send me peet’s I’ll send you an iced capp in a cooler so it’ll be somewhat melted and probably spilt everywhere 🤪 tumblrs probably gonna block me again, I’m looking at how much I’ve typed rn and it’s a lot lmaoo. Yes I managed to save myself. I redid the whole last with less detail bc I was not Having It but it turned out better?? How is ur drawing now?

I start after labour day in September. But starting in 3 weeks?????? On a Thursday?? I could never wtf. When do you end? I’m so confused with these ap and honours thing, like there’s none offered in my school nor majority of the school district. Are they just advanced classes or something? It is 7 classes a semester or the whole year?

Stan talent i think you meant yourself??? Jsjsksk I am not only ur coffee soulmate I’m not #1 fan as well and I support u bc ily 🥺🥺 the read more tag had me laughing for a hot minute. Like we really could make an essay out of all of our replies. I don’t have any pets (besides fish does that count?) unfortunately bc my moms allergic to fur 🥺 hbu?? (I can’t believe tumblr blocked me again they can fight me)

-

i didn’t even pay LOL i freeloaded off my cousin 🤧 i like to look @ scenery sometimes but like i can’t bc my head hurts LOL and the scenery is always the same for me, mountains and fields with cows. i try to take dramamine but it makes me so drowsy that i’m just basically dead,,, i live off of my cousins money so i’m okay 🤪

pearls are Dangerous, i once drank a smoothie and there were pearls in it and i couldn’t see them bc there were like. only 3 and they were Buried under the smoothie but i choked and almost died but i chewed one of them and it’s like. so weird. HOLLERING AND YODELING IM- i once went to some public yodeling class and left in 2 seconds bc it was a bunch of white boys dressed like the kid from walmart 😪

it’s not even strength i’m actually rly weak,, i always think the doors are closed but they’re not and so i like slam them open and the walls are thin so it’s just. a sad hole. terrible wifi,, my school has pretty good wifi tbh but we have like three connections, one for the chrome books only, one for the teachers & staff, and one for students and guests. like it works rly good but everyone has a VPN bc of stupid social media restrictions 😤 & ilyt 🥺 u would probably win in a fight tho LOL

go ham is so interesting. the first time i heard it i thought it meant go pig and i was so confused but ig,,, i live lathered in sun screen whenever i go somewhere with the sun. ppl are like “i smell sun screen” and im just there like 🙃 it’s me u got a problem u burnt chicken nugget ??? i wish i tanned easily, i have a tan friend and when i showed her when my legs got tan she was so confused. i thought i was tan tho? bc during marching band season my sock tan becomes So Bad i’m basically white. she said she was blinded when she saw me pull my sock down and i laughed so hard LOL & i hate those dumb random tan lines like. where u @ bro? where u come from??

snow is fun for like a day and then i get tired LOL i csn only handle wet socks and a red nose for so long 😔 i tried skiing one time and i did so bad that the instructor had to hold me down and walk with me down the slope. i fell so many times i think he hated me 😳 i’m also rly bad at skating? i went w my friends once and i held both of their hands and still managed to bring both of them down when i fell. a cute guy once helped me when i was struggling to walk so 🥴 not my brightest moment tbh,, trying to walk in skates while on ice. do u enjoy skiing/skating? also gardening is. gross. worms and dirt and the sun i’m not here for it.

u: cappuccinos! me: ...ice bergs,,, now that i think about it fraps kinda suck,,, i used to think i was So Cool for drinking starbucks but now i’m like. wow. i used to think there was coffee in a frap but it’s just. sugar and ice LOL also speaking of tmrw is bogo fraps here,, idk if it’s all over the world but myb u should check it out 😪

dunkins okay it depends on what you get, i once got an iced latte and it was good but my dad got an iced coffee and he like. hated it so we had to switch and it was so bad like. it was coffee crime. it was horrible and not strong it was basically milk 😤 also,, ketchup chip? i just googled what that was and. that’s literally so weird. fun fact i hate ketchup and all other condiments i can only eat bbq sauce and i tolerate steak sauce

UR LITERALLY SO CUTE OKAY UR MINE NOW HHHH

i mentioned this in the other ask but. we going broke bitches club 😪 when u come visit me it’ll be old town road the one w mason ramsey on a loop. nothing will top the og remix but no, i’ll be stuck listening to some 5 year old rap for all of eternity

I USED TO BE SUCH A GOOD KID AND DRINK MILK EVERY MORNING ever since i got to middle school i preferred sleep over waffles and milk and i hardly drink milk but when i do. my stomach does not have it.

my mom made me wash dishes today and she just stared at me when i put ziploc bags on my hands bc we didn’t have gloves but i just painted my nails and i’m not abt to put myself thru chipped nails. not yet 😤 waffles are so good like i love waffles and lattes only 🤧

well i’ll go very ham (am i doing it right LOL) 😤 the angst ending is a lot better than the open ended or happy ones LOL i’m so excited for it 🥺 i’m rly tryna get it out before the end of this month bc the edit says july and it’ll make me Mad if i don’t get it out before the end of this month

i wanna start in september 🤧 and i usually end in the first week of june. also on a wednesday LOL it’s gross. stupid. ap means advanced placement so it’s just. a college level class. lowkey mad bc i’m taking ap euro (as a sophomore 😒) and other schools take it in their senior years? apparently this is normal? and honors are just faster paced classes with more weighting so,, idrk oops 😬 some people take 7 classes in a semester but i took it for the whole year! this year i’m dropping orchestra i’m Not for that spit in the carpet life

Fifteen study dates | 15-day prompt challenge | Sweet Pea/OC | Day 5

AN: I’ve been inspired by a bit of rain here and this chapter is more autumn aesthetic than any of the previous ones xD Let me know how you like it :D

Info:

Fandom: Riverdale Pairing: Sweet Pea/OC Rating: T Word count:1284 Chapter count: 5/15

                                        Autumn time is picnic time

Sweet Pea knocked on the front door of the Wolfe house, before reminding himself that he wasn’t at the trailer park and rang the doorbell. As he was waiting for Ruby to get there, despite the fact that she’d told him numerous times to let himself in if nobody opened it, Sweet Pea shrugged off his Serpents’ jacket. It was warm for an autumn day. Too warm for a leather jacket, especially coupled with his usual shirt and flannel combo. Then, the door swung open.

“Sweet Pea?” Jo Wolfe was standing there, his mouth stained with something that looked suspiciously like blood. Sweet Pea took a step back. He might’ve been taller than Jo, but he wouldn’t like to be pitted against the man in a fight. He’d heard quite a few stories about the Lone Wolf of South High from back in the day. Mostly, they were retold at the Wyrm in gest, now that Jo was a resident of Riverdale once more. Yet, Sweet Pea didn’t want to poke that sleeping Navy SEAL, unless he had to. “What’re you doing here?”

“Um, Ruby invited me over to study,” Sweet Pea’s eyes were still glued to the substance dripping from Jo’s mouth. It was blood-red and positively terrifying. “sir.” The biker quickly added.

“Do I have something on my-“ Jo’s hand went up, wiping at the side of his mouth, and it came back red like blood had been smeared on his knuckles. Sweet Pea suddenly remembered a nightmare he’d had of Ruby’s father chasing him down the Wolfe house driveway. “Oh. That’s unfortunate,” Jo licked the red substance. “I’m trying to recreate this recipe Lisa used to make, strawberry jelly something, but I think it’s just coming out as some cheap version of a Halloween decoration.” The man shrugged and laughed at his own ineptitude in the kitchen. But, to Sweet Pea, the image of Ruby’s father trying to cook, which was a running gag in their family since his retirement from the army, was even more terrifying. Kitchens had multiple knife drawers, after all.

“I’m certain that you’ll figure it out, sir,” Sweet Pea was glad that his voice sounded completely normal despite his growing panic. With Ruby in between them, he managed to get along with Jo fairly well. But, she often mediated those encounters like a court-appointed counselor or something. “Is Ruby home?” Jo stopped trying to wipe his hand on the edge of his already stained shirt.

“I’m sorry, she isn’t. Left an hour ago. I think she went to that picnic area in Fox Forest?” Sweet Pea nodded, pulling his phone out to call the girl and ask her what in the world was she thinking when she left him to the mercy of her father. “You can just go and surprise her, though?” Jo smiled at him and Sweet Pea was torn between running and accepting it as a peaceful action. “She had her books with her.”

“I think I’ll do that,” Sweet Pea nodded. “Thank you, sir.” Jo still had a smile on his face.

“You’re good for her, you know?” Ruby’s father said, making Sweet Pea’s eyebrows rise. “She’s finally found someone more reckless than she is. Forces her to reassess and take care of both herself and you. It’s a good thing, I promise,” Jo added once he saw the disbelief on the biker’s face. “I went through the same thing,” then, Jo’s expression changed and he literally lit up. “Hang on a second, let me give you some stuff to take up there.” Sweet Pea didn’t dare deny the man.

And, that was how the tall Serpent ended up trekking his way up the dirt road which led from the Wolfe house and into the Fox Forest, with a cooler in his hands. He felt positively mortified, seeing as the thing was an obnoxious, hot pink color, but he couldn’t exactly say no to Jo. After following the man’s instructions as to which way to go without too much trouble, Sweet Pea found himself in the middle of the forest, a large loop of the road coming up ahead. In the middle of the half circle was a small picnic area. Wooden tables and benches, a few swings, seesaws and an old-school merry-go-round. It looked pretty nice and quite nostalgic from his perspective.

Sweet Pea spotted Ruby easily enough. She was sitting at one of the tables, books, and notebooks all around her, head thrown back and pen in hand. So, deciding to be a bit of an ass in return for her bailing on their study date, he snuck up behind her slowly. Ruby had her eyes closed and she seemed to be enjoying the sun on her face. Sweet Pea spotted that she was working on her English Lit essay, about halfway done. He bent down, right at her ear level, and made his move.

“Boo.” The simple word, spoken in a low tone, along with his hot breath on her ear, had Ruby jumping up from her seat. Unfortunately for Sweet Pea, that meant that her forehead collided with his with a loud sound, making them both gasp and groan.

“Oh my God!” the girl exclaimed, dropping her pen to hold onto her head. “Jesus, sasquatch! What did you do that for?” she rubbed the red spot before letting it go. Sweet Pea, on the other hand, stood stunned. “Are you alright?” Instantly, her hands were at his forehead, feeling the sore spot.

“I’m fine,” he snapped out of his shock. “And, that was for forgetting our study session, running off to the woods and leaving me to face your father.” Ruby winced. She loved teasing him about this and that, but even she wasn’t so cruel as to leave him in a bind intentionally.

“I’m sorry I forgot,” she pulled him down to her height by the lapels of his flannel shirt and kissed the sore spot on his forehead. “The weather was so nice that I decided to head out to this spot for a bit. I guess I forgot to check the time.” She giggled.

“Dumbass tater tot,” Sweet Pea shot back and slid on the bench next to her. “Here, your father sent this.” He placed the hot pink cooler on the table in front of them.

“Oh, picnic food!” Ruby instantly perked up. She opened it and started rummaging.

“How much coffee have you had?” Sweet Pea asked, noting her peppy behavior. His Ruby wasn’t like that. She was the calm before the storm. The thunder and lightning rumbling right under the cool surface. This excited little beast appeared only when chocolate was mentioned, or after a large amount of coffee was consumed.

“Um… Three cups?” She asked nobody in particular, starting to take out different snacks from the cooler, along with two cans of soda.

“In the past hour?” Sweet Pea sarcastically asked.

“Before I left, sooo… Past three hours?” Ruby’s smirk told him that she was messing with him, as usual. She never backed down from a good verbal battle.

“I want compensation for having to deal with caffeinated Ruby.” Grumbled the biker. Instantly, Ruby closed the cooler and her hands found purchase on his shoulders. From her position with her knees on the bench, she was taller than him for once, giving their kiss a new angle.

“Enough compensation?” She asked breathlessly when they finally untangled tongues.

“Not nearly.” Sweet Pea pulled her back and onto his lap with a gentle hand at her waist, swallowing her giggle with his mouth. He figured that he’d enjoy the loving before Ruby realized that he hadn’t even started his English Lit essay.

That’s all for now, folks!

@alyonian

relationship status:

at the moment i’m single! and while being in a relationship sounds brilliant, the last two relationships i was involved in? didn’t work out to say the least, lucky i’m still young

favourite colour:

it’s been emerald green for the longest time but orange seems to be dethroning it at a steady pace

lipstick or chapstick:

i haven’t used chapstick since i was six but i probably should use it again, water is my substitute rn fdghdgh - and i haven’t ever used lipstick in any capacity? so i’d have to go with the former

last song i listened to:

the space traveller’s lullaby | kamasi washington - i’m trying to get through his second album rn (i left off on the second disk yesterday) and while everything he makes is undeniably amazing, it’s? a three hour album? i don’t have the attention span for his spiritual jazz, as great as it is

last movie:

monsters inc is playing on the television right now, i’ll go with that! the animation aged kinda badly but it’s still such a fun movie! sidenote: james p. sullivan? a childhood crush, so this gives me memories

top 3 tv shows/podcasts/comics:

i rarely, if ever, venture into these forms of media but! if i had to answer, i’d say;

unbreakable kimmy schmidt / parks & recreation / luke cage

taz / mbmbam (i havent like. watched a full episode of either but they seem cool,)

tf idw / …………. yeah that’s it, i’ve never read anything else. probably should!

additional favs:

my friends, writing (in theory), listening to video essays, learning music theory + instruments and understanding audio production software

top 3 bands / artists:

HHH okay if i had to limit my choices to just three artists, uh. lorde, the mountain goats, and sophie. i couldnt even fit janelle in i hate th is

----------------------------------

@alyonian

color(s): light colors are always nice and pleasant, though anything peachy and sandy are the best! orange (specially pastel orange) is like. the best thing

last band t-shirt i bought: usually merchandising is very expensive and i dont have the money to accommodate that, but like. i do recall having a wiggles shirt when i was five. i wore it all the time, shjdjgsksd im sure that counts

last band i saw live: i almost went to splendor in the grass last year with family, which wasn't only cool since i’ve never been out of the state since i immigrated - the festival was in queensland, which is around a two hour flight from victoria - but the lineup was pretty fuckin lit too! the xx, haim, peking duk, tash sultana, future islands, vallis alps, a.b original,, i was p excited! unfortunately my uncle fell ill and so they had to give the tickets to extended family :( otherwise, i haven't been to a single concert in my life

last song i listened to: street fighter mas | kamasi washington - up to this song on the album and i really fuckin dig this! also the video is hypnotizing

last movie i watched: monsters inc is about to finish and up next is monsters university! which like…. honestly, this is an extremely unpopular opinion but, i like it just as much as the original? my opinion might be skewed because i’m a monster [hugger], but i like everything abt the movie! except for the finale of the scare games and the last five minutes of the movie, both were just. dreadful.

book(s) i’m currently reading: i’m reading ‘maus’ by art spiegelman at the moment, for the third time i believe? i believe my classmates are supposed to be writing an essay on this next term and shit, this novel is heartbreaking, i haven't been this emotional when reading a book than… ever, really. it’s a recommendation of the highest caliber

hi,

you look really happy and i am so happy for you. even though i know its you in the pictures, i don’t seem to recognize you. i’m sorry that my emotions got in my head and that things ended the way they did, but you were literally such an unpresent person in my life. you were selfish, wishy washy, choosey, and only cared about how others perceive you. you only befriend people for clout and pretend like you genuinely share interests when you don’t. you’re just as selfish as your family. but i applaud you full and well, because you play a decent game. i will always love and care for you, but i had to let you go for my own mental health and well being because i couldn’t keep depending on someone who wouldn’t reciprocate my energy. you made me realize that i have the ability to cut off anybody, regardless of how much they mean to me. you helped me prove to myself that i’m stronger than the love i have for people. and i’ll always be thankful for that, along with everything you did for me before you turned out to be such a train wreck. i wish you the best and i wish you genuine happiness and i wish you the best version of yourself that you could ever imagine.

i love you always.

Pancakes: you gotta jive if you wanna shrive in Pancake Land (plus my special banana pancake recipe).

(For the recipe, scroll to the end!)

You know that scene in Matilda where she makes pancakes and dances to ’Send me on my way’ by Rusted Root? It’s the most groovy scene ever. Not only because we see Matilda’s awesome magic powers, but despite all odds, she has such a good vibe. Music, pancakes and magic. Brilliant start to a film.

I try to recreate that scene a little every time I make pancakes, because why wouldn’t you? It feels good to indulge in a bit of kitchen boogying and to spend some time imagining that I’m a fictional, magical child that is a lot cooler than myself. She’s got super powers for goodness sake. So we know that pancakes are whimsical, fun, and need a little bit of magic to send you on your way, but they also remind me of birthdays. From as early as I can remember all the way up to the present day, my birthday morning has usually gone like this: demolish an obscene amount of pancakes (upwards of ten), then decide that I shouldn’t have another one because really that would be the one that made this whole debacle appear greedy, and at this ripe old age I should really be keeping it classy.

Hands down, my favourite part in the pancake-making regime, is dancing along while you’re going. I’d go as far as saying that it’s part of the recipe and it truly makes the pancakes taste a lot better. I advise that you come up with a dance that works for you. My pancake-making dance is very silly, a little intrusive, and looks about 50% more awkward than is actually funny. But it does make me happy, and that’s the point. When I was at university in Birmingham, there were far too many essay questions being thrown around, and far too many wonderful nights spent watching Gilmore Girls with my housemates. This perfect procrastination often caused what I can only describe as “a week from hell” towards the end of term, in which we attempted to smash those deadlines. The only way we got through the work was to have frequent “dance breaks” in which we chose to dramatically boogie to either a Taylor Swift or Beyonce song. The sheer physical exertion and hilarity of star-jumping around to “Countdown”, or “We Are Never Getting Back Together”, meant that our spirits were lifted, and we remembered that life can be fun too. This is the purest example I can give to show you what the pancake dance is all about. And thanks to social distancing, it’s unlikely that anyone else will see your crazy moves, so go wild!

DISCLAIMER: In this next section I relate pancakes to social distancing in a way that makes this blog not only 100% relevant, but also #relatable. It’s gonna be great.

So, there’s a pandemic going on at the moment, and we’re all staying at home. Yes, I am bringing up the elephant in the room. The elephant is in the room because she has to stay at home for the time being, due to the current climate. We’re all very worried at times, hyper at other times, and, let’s face it, just as freaked out and grumpy as we usually are the rest of the time. And quite frankly, it’s not helping the situation having elephants in every room, and it’s starting to get really cramped. Who knows what the best reaction to this is? Should we throw our arms up into the air, frantically run around the room, and scream “CAROLE BASKIN!” in a southern accent? Perhaps, yes. We can’t expect ourselves to react perfectly or normally to this very imperfect and abnormal situation.

Take pancakes, for example. The first one’s the throw-away. What a beautiful saying to provide you with confidence even in the face of complete failure. “Don’t worry if that pancake is terrible, that always happens the first time! In fact, here in Pancake Land we welcome you to fall flat on your face at the very first hurdle! Yes, that literal hurdle just there, right in front of you now, just beyond the gates into Pancake Land. That hurdle represents your first pancake which will be burnt on the outside whilst somehow raw in the middle. But if it does, that just means it’s working. You’re fitting in wonderfully in Pancake Land!”. I love applying this approach to any situation. It’s not a new idea, it’s just accepting that nothing is perfect. We’ve never had to stay at home on this scale before, so I say we see it as the first, shitty pancake. The first pancake, that we choose to put all of our effort into, and yet it turns around to bite us in the butt. And it happens to us all. That’s pretty much where this analogy ends because fingers crossed, after the coronavirus outbreak ends, we won’t throw another one on the heat just to churn out a more successful pandemic. All I’m saying is, there’s no right way to do this, so let’s stick together, spread the joy, and spread some magic on those pancakes in true Matilda style.

Finally, for when you’re next feeling crêpe (I’m sorry, I just had to…), below is my own special recipe for very delicious banana pancakes, just for you. Indulge in the whimsical, shake your sexy hips, and enjoy frying up a breakfast that you love. Whether you prefer that fluffy american style, if you like to chomp on chocolatey chunks, or if you’re feeling french, there’s nothing better than pancakes.

Grace’s 5-Step Banana Pancakes

YOU WILL NEED:

1 funky album that makes dancing and smiling irresistible to you (my recommendations: Brothers & Sisters by Lakuta, Geography by Tom Misch, Graceland by Paul Simon) 2 bananas 2 eggs 5 tbsp of self-raising flour (approx.) 1/2 cup of milk 1 big sprinkle of cinnamon (approx.) A big pinch of salt Unlimited butter for the pan (obvs.)

Recipe for 5-6 big, fluffy pancakes… multiply those quantities for more joy.

METHOD:

Step 1: Put on your fabulous album and start to groove.

Step 2: Mash the bananas in a bowl and beat in the eggs and the milk.

Step 3: Gradually add the self raising flour and beat with a fork. I normally follow my intuition here - you want a reasonably thick and gloopy consistency, but not too thick. We are aiming for lovely fluffy boys after all. Add more flour if it’s too thin.

Step 4: Add your cinnamon and a big pinch of salt, with some panache baby!

Step 5: Cook ‘em up! Heat your pan up at a low heat with a knob of butter in there, then drop half a ladle of batter onto the pan and sing “Woohoo!”. Flip when you feel funky, or when you see the top starting to show air holes.

Keep droppin’ that sweet, sweet batter and flipping those ‘cakes till you just don’t care! Serve with yummy toppings like blueberries, icing sugar, golden syrup or nutella for the ultimate delish treat.

The Learn Something New "Challenge"

Here is a game that my mom loves to play, something that she want me to do and after several days of telling me, I finally decided to Really Start. It's something easy that will make you learn literally anything. It does not matter what, the point is just to learn. But here is some changes that I want to do to this game. So, first of all I want to explain tha bases of the Game, in case you want to play. The Begining: You must be decided to start. Day by day you need to learn something new, whatever you like. Examples: * How to whistle * A receipt * How to draw * Another language * How to record your own tutorials/videos * Vocabulary * How to play a board game * An instrument * How to dance * A new word * How to be a youtuber * Some gimnastic stuff * How to programe * How to wash your clothes/dishes * How to search on the internet * How to look forward * How to get fit * How to eat healthy * How to edit videos/photos * Some DIYs * How to dress yourself * How to take care of a dog/cat * The name of the different types of clouds * The name of other country * How to be positive * How to be influential * Some yoga * Learn about mantras and create yours * How to turn on your wash machine * How to do an omelet * How to write properly * The name of a new animal * What does giraffes eats * How to write an essay * How to sing * How to take you a beautiful selfie * Some YouTube tutorials * How to WHATEVER YOU LIKE, SPECIALLY IF SOUNDS STUPID... The thing is that if you learn something, it does not matter how "insignificant" you think it is, in a year you can look back and see how many new things you've learned. For example: * If I learn 2 new english vocabulary (in my case because I speak Spanish), in a year I will know at list 730 words, and I will write better than this. * If I learn a recipe by day, in a year I will be able to cook by my self. * I actually play the piano/violin/guitar/flute, but if I try to learn to play a song everyday, in a year I'm going to have more skills and I will know lots of songs. * If I learn different things, like how to record, some DIYs, how to use YouTube, etc. I could start my own YouTube Chanel and do tutorials for other people. Can you really see the importance of learning? I do and I hope you so. Rules: 1. Don't be afraid of learning. 2. Be creative. 3. Be patient specially if you're starting from the bottom and you have no skills. 4. Whatever you learn is important but practicing is more important and powerful, the knowledge will stay forever. 5. Remember all the things you've learn and try to use them whenever you can. 6. It's your decision when to stop, just remember, must is better Advices: It's better if you establish a squedule like this: 1. On Monday I'll learn vocabulary, on Tuesday a new choreography, on Wednesday a new skill, on Thursday school stuff, on Friday how to sing, on Saturday a new yoga position and on Sunday a dessert recipe. 2. You can establish if you're going to play the game for a year/month or any time you like, them do a chart to follow or at least remember when to start/finish, them put a thick it you've done it. 3. If you run out of ideas, you can search for inspiration on internet or any app like pinterest, weheart it, tumblr or your favorite one. 4. If you really have free time, you can learn about two or three things per day. So finally I hope you decide to play the game and enjoy the benefits it has. I'm going to start from today and post the things I've learned for a year. 08/05/17 Note I don't speak english, so sorry if I wrote in a bad way or reapit several words, I've tried my best and I promise to improve.
