same name game

i am testing out the feasibility of using nigella's processor danish pastry dough for croissants. today's results were not bad, but the shapes of the croissants were a bit off. never mind, i have the other have waiting in the refrigerator for me to test tomorrow. photos to come soon.

and i'm also going back to making jeffrey cookies. i want to create cookies that are exactly the same as those on 7th december 2007, but like i said before, i can't/don't produce consistent results for jeffrey cookies.

when i took out the cello to play today, one of the strings was broken. 断了的弦. and the instrument can't be played anymore until it's replaced. maybe there's a reason why heartstrings and called 'heartstrings'.

we all know the scenario. two people on the phone, and they both don't want to be the first to put it down. and so they go on counting down (again and again) after agreeing to put the phone down at the same time. but neither would do it. is it very superficial to judge someone's affection based on whether they let you put down the phone first?
