I’ve been reading sad books. Books about sad people. While I was reading Suzanne Scanlon’s Promising Young Women (which I reviewed here), I was rereading Two Girls, Fat and Thin by Mary Gaitskill, and at this point in my life I must have reread it five or six times. It’s always a bad idea for me to read this book—I’m always in a funk for a week after, sometimes longer, or perhaps but now it’s just lodged itself somewhere inside me and each time I reread it it’s like lighting a match. Two Girls is about two girls, but it’s also about gender war(s), heterosexuality as violence. Chris Kraus writes about wanting to solve heterosexuality before turning 40 in I Love Dick but I feel like every conversation with single straight women friends over beer is an attempt to solve heterosexuality, and after a few drinks the solution is…

Ang tunay na maganda hindi malandi. Baliktarin natin. Ang tunay na malandi hindi maganda.
Yung quotes na yan ang lagi kong tinatandaan. Naglakas-loob na ko mag-approach. Anyare? N-G-A-N-G-A. HAHAH. So I need to stop na. Everything happens for a reason. Siguro nga hindi pa ito yung time. Siguro someday at the right time, I will meet him. Kapag wala na yung feelings ko. HAHA. Well, that’s life. It isn’t fair. =)) ♥

Now I know why I’m not attractive to the boys of my age. HAHAHA! It’s because I looked like 4 years younger than my age. Amazing! 0:) :”>
Jellied Peach Melba
Drain 1 can (8 3/4oz) sliced peaches, reserving syrup.
Add water to syrup to make 1 cup; bring to a boil. Dissolve 1 pkg peach flavored gelatin, in boiling liquid.
Add 2 cups ice cubes; stir until gelatin begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove unmelted ice.
Stir in peaches and pour into 6 dessert glasses. Chill until set, about 30 minutes.
Use 1 cup vanilla ice cream and about 2 tablespoons raspberry jam, to each serving with a scoop of ice cream and a spoonful of jam.
Summer Mango Smoothie (for the young and old)
So the kids want to watch a movie, it’s a nice sunny day outside of course.
As a pre-movie treat and to get some fruit into them I whipped this up.
It was really quick, super easy, and tasted so light and refreshing I wish I made enough for me too.
Ingredients (this was enough for 2 children’s sized drinks)
- Flesh of 1 mango
- 1 tub childrens yoghurt (happened to have banana)
- 200mls milk
- 8-10 ice cubes
1. Place mango, milk, and yoghurt into BIKM
2. Speed 4, 10 seconds.
3. Add ice. Pulse 3-4 times.
4. Speed 5, 20 seconds.
5. Pour and serve …. It was that easy!
I think the longer you spin it for in step 4 the lighter it would probably be, so adjust to your chosen consistency.
For a variation, throw in a banana or some fresh or frozen berries too.
