Two months of virtual living. So far, I have learned how to say Thank You in sign language and read many articles on the Katakali dance. Next, I want to immerse myself in Wes Anderson movies and learn how to draw self-portraits.
Read, Watched and Browsed
A bucket list I am into THE ITCH LIST. I also watched and recommended The Silent House (old movie but good premise) and the Australian found footage movie The Tunnel. I also watched and liked it, but I wouldn’t recommend The Green Inferno at all.
Foodie Guide-y
I remember sulking some years ago when I called Amma to ask how to cook rice, and she included “wash the rice a few times before cooking it” as one of the steps. Ever since, I have always cooked the rice by following her exact steps.
Then I stumbled upon Nagi’s blog recently, where she suggested that no rinsing is required for rice cooking. At first, I was oh-so delighted and proceeded to commit the sin of cooking unwashed rice. The result? Nope – it wasn’t as good. Something tasted off. I don’t know whether it’s the placebo or there really is a truth in the age-old rinsing wisdom. But from now on, I’ll stick to Amma’s way – rinsing it til the water is clear.
Things in My Mind
I am slowly warming up to lavender milk, and I just spent three hours browsing for Spaghetti Spoon. Since this Corona thing doesn’t look like it will end soon, should I just give up and start wearing Crocs?
Maybe I should do another meditation retreat like I did in 2017. But if they proposed doing it virtually, I would completely lose.
