Apfelkuchen was not a success. It would be fascinating to know what the intended result was! But there was no picture. What I got was a thin crusty layer, some goo, and dried out apple chunks on top. I found a food blogger who made it and seemed happy with it but hers looked the same as mine (bad).

It does actually taste pretty good, but that's because sugary baked apples with lemon zest are good even when there's some goo.

This book has so many pictures of Berlin and so few photos of how the recipes are supposed to turn out

Just flipping through I found multiple typos 😅

Fun to look through! I tried the puff pastry recipe and it worked just fine, but it could have been written more clearly -- I found it a puzzle to figure out how many turns you were meant to do. And the photographs along side it showed a different (but ultimately interchangeable) encasing technique than the text describes. I'll probably try a hot water crust recipe before it goes back to the library.

This was such an interesting and engaging read and it really made me wish my dad, who spent much of his career working on testing Einsteins theory of relativity, was still here to talk about it with me

So far this is SO interesting!

Beautifully written but confined (if not uncritically) within in a Cathy comic's grueling tedium of 1980s bourgeoisie gender norms. I think the ending made it work, however

Camping trip read

I got this from the library out of curiosity -- it was such a thing ten years ago, that even though I never read it I felt like I knew everything in it by osmosis. I was reminded of it because I am approaching my first year anniversary of living in my new place and I thought it might be fun to follow this book as a bit. But ultimately it's seeped so thoroughly into the mainstream consciousness that commentating on it didn't seem that fun.

There is however one thing which no one told me: at one point she genuinely claims that completing her method will often cause people to have diarrhea.

Sorry to my coworkers who no longer get to experience daily updates about medieval debt collection

I'm ready for the show now (I really hope it's good)

I kept giving this a chance but... it was not working for me

this just isn't doing it for me

I re-read The Space Between Worlds to refresh my memory when I saw that this was out, and I was nervous to see what this would be, since that story felt.. concluded. But seeing that it's following different characters is a relief! I'm curious to see where it goes.
