I guess since the Hyrule map in TOTK is starting to feel a lot smaller, I finally cut some of my gaming hours and incorporated a bunch of side hobbies. I got back into drawing once again! I did a redraw of my OC clown couple, kind of inspired by Mira Fujita, but without studying her works too carefully and having a faint memory of her illustrations. I'm hoping to get better with the Procreate *crosses fingers*.

Bern and I have been caught up with One Piece series for quite awhile now, the painful part is having to wait every week for a new episode. Last week episode was just a recap. The past weekend's episode was INSANE, we get to see a battle with Kidd & Law versus Big Mom. Bern found a really good One Piece (mostly for the manga) reviewer on youtube, it's nice to hear from someone who've been thoroughly reading the pages, researched the materials, and articulate the piece with appreciation and care. As much as I find power-up battles to be entertaining, to me, I personally think a decent shonen is not always solely about that. I appreciate a good character development& characters who aren't physically strong, but managed to play big supporting roles in the series. I'm finally happy to listen to a reviewer who isn't obnoxious about a medium.

I'm sure most of y'all loathe TikTok and many fast social media apps in general, and it's valid to feel that way, BUT I finally found a decent recipe to make a better youtiao this time (this person actually listed the directions in the caption). I also upgraded my kitchen tool by using a wider pot. I'm so happy how it turned out. My grandpa used to dip them in his coffee drinks, but unfortunately I can no longer have coffee, so I dabbed some Nutella on them instead-- they tasted pretty bomb.

I think these are the best youtiao I've made so far. I grew up eating them with congee, kuyteav/ hu tieu or condensed milk. Maybe I'll t try them with hot chocolate during the winter time?
