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.

Good Fortune (2025)

We only went to see this movie because we were bored.  This was at most a rent DVD/stream online movie, or wait until it's available for...
