Taiyaki are basically just pancake batter filled with whatever. Traditionally red bean paste. This time I did red bean paste, chestnut paste and Nutella. I also really like filling them them a crème patissiere or yuzu curd if I have enough time/foresight to make it ahead. Because you cook them in the special mold, they get a nice crispy outside. People tend to have a preference for eating the head or the tail first. I personally like to go tail-first 😈

Urgh. The ‘real’ dreams are the worst. It must have been the night for it.

There was nothing particularly directly threatening to myself in the dream, and the events of dream itself was pretty mundane, but the sense and feeling that I wasn’t safe just living my life was enough to have me waking up in a sweat.

Made taiyaki for dessert. It was so enjoyable

We’re pretty boring. Nothing on it besides our lil whiteboard for notes. I’ve been using it to practice my handwriting for the kanji I have to teach next week

I truly don’t think I can appreciate it in any way. Genuinely one of the most upsetting and bad things I’ve ever read. I slogged through it exactly because it’s so revered, but damn I did not enjoy it

It was a tough decision for me too. Sherlock Holmes is the only one of the 4 that I don’t own, and I did really like the design. I might have to go back for it once the month is up.

Ooh! What’s it called? That sounds great!

I used one of my audible credits to get this narrated/voice acted version of Austen. People in the reviews are really mad because they had to take some very minor liberties with the exact wording here and there to make it work with the audiobook format. I’ve been really enjoying experiencing them in a new way though!

The design is only available with this bundle at T2! And only for this month! That’s what got me in the end. I’m a sucker for limited editions

Right? The only bad thing is it’s got gold foiling, so it can’t go in the microwave, which is terrible news for me and my habit of forgetting about hot drinks and having to reheat them.

Nothing particularly against the Brontës. If it was Jane Eyre, I’d be all over it like pash rash. It’s Withering Heights I take my umbrage with. Two of the worst characters/people doing things that really should land them in prison. They’re both emotionally, mentally and at times physically abusive to everyone around them. And it’s painted as a great love story. It’s also really fucking boring.

The Kate Bush song slaps though

Got myself a lil treat today and bought the t2xpenguine publishers set.

I actually really loved the withering heights design but I refuse to have the book in my house. So I’ve bought probably my 6th version of p&p. I’m so excited by it.

For me or for them?
