Living in the age of convenience

taiwanese grass jelly herb (3.1/5) (cooling, bitter mint sensation that feels light but has an intense climate. apparently, when steeped with agar agar or gelatin, it can thicken into a jelly. however, i would prefer to drink the herb as is.) "And surely you have seen, in the darkness of the most innermost rooms of these huge buildings, to which sunlight never penetrates, how the gold lead of a sliding door or screen will pick up a distant glimmer from the garden, then suddenly send forth an ethereal glow, a faint golden light cast into the enveloping darkness. How in such a dark place, gold draws so much light to itself is a mystery to me. Modern man, in his well-lit house, knows nothing of the beauty of gold, but those who lived in the dark houses of the past were not merely captivated by its beauty, they also knew its practical value, for gold in these dim rooms, must have served the function of a reflector. Were it not for shadows, there would be no beauty." Tanizaki'...

Recipe for Mint Tea


Summer is for prose and mint tea:

1 tablespoon sugar

1 cup water

The sensation of thinness from the shedding of shame.

1 bunch of fresh mint 

1 inch of fresh ginger

Fruit seems to sweeten much slower under summer's heat.

Disappointment is never tender, it will forever remain dried and wide. But what is to be done? There is an art to loss and we can snip fresh mint into our tea instead. Your cup is waiting.
