anactoriaOh God, I want this so much. Veg macarons without icky egg replacer, yes plz. Why yes, I am obsessed with desserts at the moment.
In other news, I finished Sixteen Shades of Crazy. The ending seemed like a massive cop-out at first, but the more I think about the more it makes sense. [Spoiler alert!] For a lot of people in that kind of situation, there isn't a lot of difference to be made through True Love or positive thinking or whatever; a decent amount of money actually is more help, even though admitting it goes against pretty much every storytelling convention I've internalized.
Currently reading Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto. A lot of it is very understated and I like how the author writes about grief, but the 'magical-sparkly-unicorn-with-no-internalization' portrayal of the character who is trans is making me nervous. I hope it doesn't turn into a big pile of fail. :-/
