Felt this one in my soul ... except the part about ketchup on a cantaloupe. Like for real, is that an actual thing? But all the rest of it made me squirm a little because it's me... it's all me and I literally just had a talk with myself last night that went like this... "why are you so uninspired lately, Julie? Are you bored? Scared? Depressed? Tired?... what is actually wrong with you! Maybe you should start seeing a therapist again, because you're living life at a fcking 2 right now... " and that's 2 out of 100, which is really depressing.

I love your writing so much Ash... it makes me feel seen.

Principles for good steak.

1. a really hot pan , like wait for it to get uncomfortably hot.

2.Room temperature (ish) meat , don’t fry it right out the fridge , let it sit on the counter a while.

(Don’t crowd the pan, do that and it cools the pan ruining everything.)

3. Make sure the steak is dry, wipe off any liquids, juices etc. You want it dry or it boils on the surface instead of creating the maillard effect.

4. Dont flip it until the surface is charred to “delicious”, this is why it needs to be really hot cause you want the surface charred but the meat inside still rare enough.

5. It just needs salt. Don’t fck around with spices.

6. Better to undercook. Then let rest in tin foil.
