INARI!
this is great.
selina, i am a master of these (granted, not difficult…but delicious!)!zuky:
A modest breakfast: a cup of loose leaf tea and a few tea eggs. After my little rant the other day, I realized it had been too long so I made a big batch of tea eggs. First you hard boil the eggs. Then you gently crack the shells on each egg without actually breaking them (I use the back of a spoon to tap the eggs). Then you simmer them in a strong tea-based flavoring liquid (I use black tea, shaoxing wine, soy sauce, star anise, ginger, scallion, sugar, pepper). The last step is where a slow cooker comes in handy, because you can just forget about it and let it go for a full day. The result is aromatic, slightly salty, mildly pungent and sweet, and has a special texture with yolk proteins fully broken down and penetrated by flavor and egg whites which tear into delicately springy layers as you bite through. 谢谢外婆！
This sounds awesome.

ANHEDONIA
[noun]
in psychology and psychiatry, anhedonia is defined as the inability to experience pleasure from activities usually found enjoyable, e.g. exercise, hobbies, sexual activities or social interactions. While earlier definitions of anhedonia emphasised pleasurable experience, more recent models have highlighted the need to consider different aspects of enjoyable behavior, such as motivation or desire to engage in an activity (“motivational anhedonia”), as compared to the level of enjoyment of the activity itself (“consummatory anhedonia”).](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m36i3fS5eb1r47bczo1_500.jpg)
