| 9ed601f | As oil is heated, it breaks down, leading to flavor degradation and the release of toxic chemicals. Food is also more likely to stick to a cold pan--another reason to preheat. But exceptions to the preheating rule exist: butter and garlic. Both will burn if the pan is too hot, so you must heat them gently. In all other cooking, preheat the pan and then add the fat, letting it too heat up before adding any other ingredients. | Samin Nosrat | ||

| 73b5fa1 | It's hard to be the one who stays. I keep myself busy. Time goes faster that way. I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I take walks. I work until I'm tired. I watch the wind play with the trash that's been under the snow all winter. Everuthing seems simple untilnyou think about it. Why is love intensified by absence? | Audrey Niffenegger | ||
| a8e1255 | When we met I was wrecked, blasted, and damned, and I am slowly pulling myself together because I can see that you are a human being and I would like to be one, too.

| 4b5b364 | The apartment is a laboratory in which we conduct experiments, perform research on each other. We discover Henry hates it when I absentmindedly click my spoon against my teeth while reading the paper at breakfast. We agree that it is okay for me to listen to Joni Mitchell and it is okay for Henry to listen to the Shaggs as long as the other person isn't around.

| b141dbe | Henry gaat op de schommel naast me zitten, met zijn gezicht de andere kant op, en we schommelen steeds hoger en hoger , we passeren elkaar, soms gaan we gelijk op en soms gaan we zo snel langs elkaar dat het net lijkt alsof we zullen botsen, en we lachen, en lachen, en niets kan ooit verdrietig zijn, niets kan ooit worden verloren, of dood zijn, of ver weg; nu zijn we hier, en niets kan onze volmaaktheid verstoren of dit volmaakte moment va.. | liefde schommel verloren | Audrey Niffenegger | |
| 7a8949d | The house envelops us, watches us, contemplates us as we make love in it for the first time, the first time of many times, and afterward, as we lie spent on the bare floor surrounded by boxes, I feel that we have found our home. | Audrey Niffenegger | ||

| 5054b4a | I want to tell you again, I love you. Our love has been the thread through the labyrinth, the net under the high-wire walker, the only real thing in this life of mine that I could ever trust. Tonight I feel that my love for you has more density in this world than I do, myself: as though it could linger on after me and surround you, keep you, hold you. | Audrey Niffenegger | ||
| 781e6ce | hy should free will be limited to right and wrong? I mean, you just decided, of your own free will, to take off your shoes. It doesn't matter, nobody cares if you wear shoes or not, and it's not sinful, or virtuous, and it doesn't affect the future, but you've exercised your free will. | Audrey Niffenegger | ||
| c7837ef | Percibo una sola tarde como si fuera un dia entero; un viaje en el metro puede suponer una travesia epica. Hoy es interminable. He pasado casi todo el dia sin pensar [...], o al menos sin pensar demasiado [...], pero ahora, por la noche, mientras paseo, el recuerdo es mas fuerte que yo. | Audrey Niffenegger | ||

| c7c4dd9 | Nasa je ljubav bila nit kroz labirint, mreza ispod hodaca po zici, jedino stvarno u mom cudnom zivotu kojemu nikad nisam mogao vjerovati. Veceras mi se cini da moja ljubav prema tebi ima vecu gustocu na ovom svijetu nego ja; kao da ce moci ostati nakon mene i okruzivati te, odrzavati, drzati. | Audrey Niffenegger | ||
