A light-hearted post 😀
Following an idea from Muhe, I decided that I need to move forward somewhere again, specifically towards some kind of manual work, because it will help the body, but above all the soul, to relax. In the morning I told mim, and she said that Muhe is absolutely right, that such monotonous sitting at the PC would wear anyone out. She probably said one more thing too, although I’m not 100% sure mim was the one who said it: “That computer drains a lot of energy from you, but it doesn’t give you any back. Muhe really is a very sensible girl and she’ll give you more than anyone else.” 🙂
Tomorrow I’m also going to stop by in town and see if I can get hold of some origami paper (online you can find everything from cheap to ultra expensive, so we’ll see; it will cost me something, but it looks really interesting and it could be put to great use 🙂 ). In case you don’t know what origami is, it’s an old Japanese art that was originally used for decorating religious temples (that’s my only worry, hopefully an unfounded one), and it was born sometime in the 8th century AD.
You can find examples of the simplest origami, including instructions on how to fold them, for instance at http://origami.alyss.cz/index.php?p=seznam&kategorie=3 . But it doesn’t end with origami, writing short stories and other changes for the better, because Muhe managed to talk me into trying to maybe even cook something, and I take that as another big challenge. If I learned to cook, I could make things that I would enjoy too, and not just meat all the time, the way my father wants it, since my mom can’t cook anything else.
Yesterday Muhe told me to start doing something, and today here is already the first result of my culinary skills, namely a bundt cake:
The torn-off bit at the top doesn’t mean people here are pigs, nor that we have some uninvited rodents around. It’s simply that comrade sunamo made a mistake somewhere (but it wasn’t me who nibbled it, because I was asleep), and so the bundt cake is a little torn. Otherwise, though, it tastes excellent; after all, what you make yourself always tastes best. :).
It’s not exactly professional. I made it following a recipe from mim, which listed nothing but the ingredients (no method), but mim told me the steps anyway, and even if she hadn’t, there was very little that could go wrong. And so I baked my first bundt cake and I’m getting ready for more cooking, and for all of this I owe a great deal to Muhe, so thank you, MUHE xDD.
