Reverb day 9: recipe
What if you had to give someone a recipe for how to make a YOU?
What major ingredients would be required? What method would you recommend?How would your je ne sais quoi be recreated?
Ripen ingredients outdoors.
Sweet accuracy. Stubborn integrity. Airy idealism. A hefty slosh of irony to counter it. A soupçon of acid. A pinch of diffidence.
A raising agent, whose scientific name is perhaps best translated as ‘Stopping/noticing/turning aside’.
Some curdling seems to be inevitable, but can be dispersed with proper attention.
Leave to prove in a quiet spot. Avoid agitation and sudden changes.
A round tin. This is important. When you look carefully, it turns out to be a spiral.
The longer the cooking, the better balanced the result.
Attempt to remove the chip from the shoulder.
Keep experimenting.
