Dazai: Hello Friends! ADA: Dazai: You Guys Must Be Wondering Why I'm Stuck On The Ceiling

truly do not understand how people just slip into relationships and jobs and opportunities and friend groups and lifestyles. to me there are a million obstacles to navigate in a single basic conversation

you can hang the stars and still get cast out if heaven, so what hope is there for any if us

this thing is the best ever

i am about to bestow upon you the secret butter technique. i am sorry, but it is french. i am sorry again, this only works with cow butter. i am certain plant based butters wouldn’t work, and alternative animal butters may or may not work

has this ever been you: you have a nicely steamed vegetable, or maybe you want to make the best butter noodles, but you know that if you put butter on those it’ll just melt and you end with kind of greasy noodles or vegetables? don’t you wish it was instead a luscious buttery glaze?

introducing: beurre monté

you will take a small sauce pan, and begin heating it with 1-2 tablespoons of water (use very little water) and bring it to a hard simmer or boil

turn the heat down slightly, and add Butter. how much? however much you dare. (start with 3-4 tablespoons and go from there)

you are going to either whisk Aggressively or you can pick up the saucepan, still holding it over the heat, and swirl aggressively so the butter is skating around the sides of the pan

done correctly, you will have liquid butter that is still emulsified. you have made Butter Sauce. season it with a little salt, and toss whatever you want in it.

if you’re butter splits, i’m sorry. you didn’t agitate it enough to maintain the emulsion, and now you have melted butter.

you can use this knowledge to make other sauces by swapping out the water for another liquid. white wine becomes beurre blanc. red wine is beurre rogue.

you want to CUM? sweat minced shallot in a tiny bit of butter, add white wine and cook it out until it’s reduced by about half. then whisk butter in hard. a few flecks of minced thyme or fennel frond stirred thru, and you eat that with a nice seared fish? or scallop? or even shrimp? wow. you will Nut

your boxed mac and cheese game can also be elevated by cooking your pasta and making a beurre monté first, tossing your pasta in that and adding the cheese packet. wow. hey; you’ll cum

go forth now with this butter secret

trump supposedly getting shot and the guy missing it just feels like bolsonaro's "stabbing" during 2018. both of these guys are fascists, btw! there's some stuff pointing to bolsonaro having staged the stabbing, and then he somehow won brazil's elections. be VERY suspicious of what happened there.

edit: before this gains traction, do not act like he's going to win because of this. Believing this is how he will gather more support and surely be able to win will do nothing but discourage you and others from voting. You have the power to change things. Vote. I believe in your future, and you should do as well.

a helpful tutorial

I was taking with my friend about good omens and we were wondering how the hell aziraphale-as-crowley managed to get into that bath without getting his socks wet and so I drew this ‘helpful’ guide.

I like to imagine that all the demons had to just awkwardly stand around watching him clamber around getting into this bathtub… @neil-gaiman can you confirm?

im reading a merthur fic and its the scene where merlin was disguised as dragoon to save uther, but bc of morgana he cant and die. BUT instead he succeeds bc everyone already knew he was a sorcerer and when uther woke up well and found out merlin saved him he was so disgusted that he was saved by magic that he grabbed a knife and stabbed his throat IN FRONT of both merlin and arthur. like what the fuck is happening rn i feel like im going insane
