Something that I learned from the book I just finished reading: the universe tastes of raspberries. Scientists discovered a cloud of gas near the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, which was found to be made up of ethyl formate. This compound is responsible for the flavor in raspberries.
Dessert and a movie? Always a good way to pass the time when you can't sleep at night.
Though, of course, it goes without saying that it shouldn't become a regular habit.
Hey, Drewpop!
I'm reading They Hate Each Other, by Amanda Woody. It's a great enemies-to-lovers story, if you like that sort of scenario. I especially like that they don't just stop hating each other after two or three chapters, but the ice thaws more slowly.
The strawberries were fresh from the farmer's market in town. I was pleasantly surprised that they were already available, when the weather has been practically bipolar for the last two months. Max loves any kind of fruit-based desserts, especially strawberries. We also watched Wonderstruck while the galette was baking.
I was staying up late last night, when Max came downstairs and said that he couldn't sleep. I asked him if something was wrong, and he said, "No, my brain just doesn't feel sleepy." Today was scheduled for a Teacher's Day at school, so I allowed Max to stay up with me. We made a strawberry galette to pass the time, and ate it hot from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
