  • Recipe for Tasting Days

    From Evangeliya@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 15 21:10:49 2025
    In the last conversations here, I saw everything – recipes for cookies, rice, unexpected mixes. Among so many, I started to think: is there a recipe for test days?

    Yesterday and today, my days were like this: preparation. Because, like a good meal, tastings require balance and choices. For breakfast, eggs, tapioca with banana and cinnamon, made in coconut oil, honey on top – guaranteed energy. During the test,
    the doubt: a spoonful of condensed milk or a piece of chocolate? Some ice cream or acai smoothie with strawberries? For lunch, something light and nutritious, of course. But it’s always a good excuse for another coffee – with toasted bread or
    plantain in coconut oil. Coffee always. And who knows, a piece of chocolate?

    And that's how my days were, yesterday and today, between right and wrong. But who's to say if I was right or wrong? Only when the results come out. Until then, I'll stick to my recipe: good choices, good excuses and, of course, another coffee.

    Good question!

    like a good meal, tastings require balance and choices.

    You mean tests require a balanced diet? That makes sense.

    For breakfast, eggs, tapioca with banana and cinnamon, made in coconut
    oil, honey on top – guaranteed energy. During the test, the doubt: a spoonful of condensed milk or a piece of chocolate?

    I think you meant to say that during the test, a question came
    up---should I have a spoon of sweetened milk or a piece of chocolate?
    I'd go for a piece of chocolate. (At least it's not just plain sugar.)

    Some ice cream or acai smoothie with strawberries?

    Sounds good.

    For lunch, something light and nutritious, of course. But it’s always
    a good excuse for another coffee – with toasted bread or plantain in coconut oil. Coffee always. And who knows, a piece of chocolate?

    Sounds alright to me.

    And that's how my days were, yesterday and today, between right and
    wrong. But who's to say if I was right or wrong? Only when the results
    come out. Until then, I'll stick to my recipe: good choices, good
    excuses and, of course, another coffee.

    Sounds like you're a coffee addicted (like most people anyway).

    Are you going to college right now? What's your field of study?

    I meant to say coffee addict. (Or perhaps ``addicted to coffee''.)
    I figure we're both non-native speakers.
