Rice Paper Croissant

I finally made the viral TikTok recipe, the rice paper croissant.  Yes, I'm always late to the trend.  I decided to make the rice paper croissant because SortedFood and Delish Kitchen made them.  I follow these two religiously.  SortedFood said the rice paper croissant was delicious but it was not croissant.  So, I used the recipe from Delish Kitchen.

Rice Paper Croissant

I asked Math Teacher to guess what it was.  Then I realized, oh, no, do I want to hear his answer?

Math Teacher thought about it, and said, "Burnt croissant?"

I asked, "Yes!  How did you guess?"

Math Teacher said, "Well, the big one looks like a croissant shape."

I said, "I was worried you'd say 'giant brown turd.'"

Math Teacher said, "The thought crossed my mind, but survival instincts took over."

😂😂😂

We both agreed with SortedFood.  The rice paper croissant was delicious, but it was not croissant.  After they cooled down, the rice paper was very chewy, not crunchy like a croissant.

Verdict:  Not making this again.

Venom (2018), Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)

Tom Hardy is such a great actor.  I can't believe he was Bane, Venom, and Mad Max (Fury Road:  2015).  Those were three completely different characters.  In Venom, he played such a great loser.  He mumbled and stumbled.  Totally unbelievable acting depth!

The plot was very simple, but really, I was only watching it for Tom Hardy.

Then I watched Venom 2 for Woody Harrelson.  He was such a great actor, too.  He was one of those actors that could play a good guy or a bad guy.  I really liked symbiote strengths and weaknesses were fleshed out, so there was a logical flow to the story.  For example, Symbiote couldn't take loud noise, but Carnage's girlfriend was a Shriek mutant.  So that relationship was never going to work out.

Work Life, #3

Someone stole my multi-vitamins at work! I keep the bottle in the desk drawer in the vacant cubicle next to me. I was teleworking for two weeks. I came back today to find the bottle missing! WTF! I've heard of office lunch thief. I've never heard of vitamin thief!

誰偷我的維他命?!
誰偷別人的維他命?!
隔壁辦公桌沒人用,所以我的維他命放那抽屜裡
有人特地開了抽屜,拿走我的維他命!
真噁心!🤮

Young Frankenstein (1974)

Don't be fooled by the poster.  The movie was in black-and-white.  It was amusing, but not funny.  I thought it was too long.

It was not the movie's problem.  It was me.  I'm a different generation, the MTV generation.  Old humor was not my cup of tea anymore.
