My favorite text this semester was a tie between Kitchen & The Edible Woman. Both I am wanting to keep from the bookstore. #bsueng214

I thought parasite was going to simply be a horror movie, but it turned out to be really sad & left a lot to think about in terms of class inequality. #bsueng214

Khakpour’s recipe for tahdig in ‘Calculated Destruction’ actually seems really good. Definitely wanting to try and replicate it. 🍚 #bsueng214

Poetry is one of my favorite ways to de-stress, so this class right before another study day? 10/10. #bsueng214

Reading Melissa Febos describe her experience with imposter syndrome was oddly comforting because although our reasons for it are not the same, it’s something I have struggled with. #bsueng214

“I have five sinks, two with a view. I try to keep a positive view. I have two refrigerators. It’s very hard to count ice cubes.” Tell me why I resonate with this?? #bsueng214

Was not expecting this novel to be as dark as it is. Not exactly anticipating to see how it ends. #bsueng214

“Then he not nice man and is better you throw away his baby.” (pg. 156) Jane’s mom is direct lol #bsueng214

Me, a vegetarian, reading how “My Year of Meats” glorifies meat: #bsueng214

Safran’s grandmother in “Against Meat” reminded me how many people who lived through the Great Depression also developed an obsession with food and became hoarders of it, because they were used to starving. #bsueng214

I love how Len told Ainsley that he was never going to be a father & she just responded with “I’ll get another one” 🤷‍♀️ #bsueng214

#bsueng214 Ainsley & Len arguing over who’s worst for using the other for their body:

I love the use of switching to third person to demonstrate how Marian is starting to feel a detachment between her mind and body. #bsueng214

Marian: the woman downstairs asked about the smoke yesterday. Ainsley: she wants an orgy. #bsueng214

“It was because of my cooking that the three of us ate together as often as we did (p. 57).” Love seeing Mikage reflect on how food brought their home together. #bsueng214

“When I’ve fallen in love before, I’ve always tried to run it down and tackle it (pg.30) #bsueng214

I enjoyed Gertrudis a lot in the chapters she’s involved in. 100% would read a novel from her perspective. #bsueng214

Am I the only one kind of disappointed with how everything turned out? I didn’t really care for Pedro & then him and Tita just gonna die like that? It was so abrupt, I didn’t even have time to be sad. #bsueng214

“If she couldn’t marry, was she at least allowed to experience love? Or not even that?” This is about to become a Mama Elena hate account. #bsueng214
