Stretch and Flow

Woke a bit late today but lovin' the ray of light from the morning sun on everything it touches (and may I add myself as well).

Book Review: The Door into Summer

The Door into Summer by Robert A. Heinlein
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Found about the book when I saw a preview of the Japanese movie in Netflix. I like the Pete in the first few minutes so much that I quickly looked it up with the intent to compare both book and movie later on. I liked how the MC has clarity and was so focused on his priorities to get him through his challenges. It took a while for me to realize that the time travel worked, I wasn't aware that he would be able to successfully go back. I felt like it was too easy for him to set things straight and everything smoothly worked out for him in the end. I should be happy for him really but I think I was expecting more romance and blockers here and there in the story telling. Also I did get that feeling that he loved Pete more. I was entertained but left me craving for more.

brush top with milk

set air fryer at 160C for 10mins, flip and bake for another 3mins

Tweaked from YummyPH cheese roll recipe

In retro:  I might have to decrease the time to 7mins just to prevent the top from browning too much.  Funny thing is, instruction says divide into 10 pcs but I actually made 11 and ended with two smaller bread :D  This is a good soft bread dough, might experiment with various savory feelings as well.  I used purple yam (christmas gift from neighbor) for this batch that has been stuck in our fridge since then.

1/4 cup white sugar

Combine Lemon curd mix and pour over the still warm crust.  Bake at 160C for 10mins.

Slice desired size, dust with confectioner's sugar.  Can be topped with fruits and nuts, if available. 

In retro:  Probably needs to be cooked a little more, not quite sure.   Will also stick to white sugar or find a healthier replacement :D

Goldilocks Set A for Lunch: Pansit Malabon, Pork BBQ and Lumpiang Shanghai.  Had to add Dinuguaan which I was craving with puto sana but not available for delivery.  Funny, I wanted to eat fresh lumpia but got distracted from the malabon and chose the wrong set😅

Sang some eHeads while D played and at some point her fingers needed a break signaling my turn with the strings.  Brewed a pot of peach tea paired with Purple Oven's Little Carrot Cake, delish.  Some pop-emo songs here and there and reviewed papa Shawn's Never Be Alone tab.  

30mins earlier than our sched, nudged the hubby for a chilly afternoon walk. 

Cooled down with 4min Asana Rebel drill which I hope to do again tomorrow and more of going forward.  Showered and rested before heating up lunch leftovers for dinner.  Added some greens from our small garden to the gifted macaroni salad.  

Did the dishes and watched Cobra Kai S4 while saving local copies of fave IG stories for 2020.  

Read a few pages of Witcher (PDF) and created this entry before shuteye. 

Hello, 2022!

No fireworks for us again this year.  didn't bother to cook as well and had food delivered.  Binagoongan Rice, Kare-kare and Pinaputok na Plapla.

No artsy shot for these cookies 😅meant to be munched on by my pamangkins but traffic made my brother decide to not pick it up instead 😔

Miss my fam and would really like to spend time with them today as tradition.  I miss the kids most specially and I don't like missing out. Hopefully by Feb, we'll be able to see each other na.
