Cooking Chicken

Yesterday i cooked some chicken. I wasn't quite sure how to season it, so I just used whatever I thought smelled good. Of course as the basics I sprinkled salt and pepper on both sides. I also decided to sprinkle some sugar in. I thought that a sort of sweet chicken would be a good idea. Then I spread five spice powder over the chicken. I'm not sure if this powder is only exclusive to asians or if it's a universal spice, like salt. Either way, it tastes good, so I added it on my chicken. I added some tarragon, because I remembered it tasted from good a previous dish. I didn't know how it would turn out on chicken, but I was having fun, so I sprinkled some on. Lastly I spread honey on. I was adding to the idea of making the chicken sort of sweet. I also imagined the honey kind of "caramelizing" and making the chicken crisp. It didn't do the latter unfortunately. I cooked it for what I thought was a good while, but when I cut in I saw a hint of pink. I learned that raw chicken is a lot worse than any other raw meat, well I mean cows and pigs. After seeing the hint of pink, I put it back in the pan.
The chicken was cooked well, and it was seasoned well. One thing I learned was that I could afford to have it slightly sweeter.
All in all it was a good dish, and I look forward to correcting my mistakes next time.

Being Short

Being short sucks doesn't it? Every time you talk to your peers you have to look up. It hurts the neck. Doesn't it suck walking through a bunch of people and only seeing the back of the person in front of you, not what's up ahead?  Don't you hate it when you really like to play basketball but you're short, making it so that you can't get some rebounds or shoot some shots that you could make if you were taller? You have to take more effort on getting space between you and the defender when you could just shoot the ball from wherever if you were taller.  Being tall gives you more confidence. You can appear more attractive. By social norms, the boyfriend should be taller than the girlfriend. That kind of sucks, because when you're short there are very few that are shorter than you. That's my rant! I am Albert Einstein.

Muscles and Working Out

I am seriously at a lack of ideas for blog-writing. So today, I'll talk about something I have only started doing, working out. I gotta say, working out consistently has been one of my long-time goals. I remember last summer I started working out everyday, but that only lasted for 11 days. It was interrupted because I had to go to a camp. After that, I never found the determination to start working out. I would suddenly work out one day but those days only came once a month, maybe even less. One of these days happened during quarantine. But it wasn't like the others. I kept working out. I don't know why I kept a routine on during quarantine but not during any other time. Perhaps it was because online school gave me a lot more time to do things I wanted to do. Either way, I started working out. I adjusted my work out based on things that I saw on youtube. For the first month I only focused on upper body. Only now am I starting to do lower body. Of course during this time...

Current Stuff

Some interesting stuff has happened recently. Mainly one. There's a teen in Kenosha, Wisconsin. More accurately, he drove to Kenosha Wisconsin, then proceeded to shoot and kill two BLM protesters. Here's what happened, based on what I know. He drove over from his house with an assault rifle. He was treated as a friend by police and was given water, probably because he was one of the few who actually supported them there. They saw him with an assault rifle. He then killed two people. The police of course heard this, but didn't act on it. He then walked back into his car and drove home. Now he's facing charges and a ton of backlash. I know this will also impact his college. What I just don't know is how people are supporting someone like this. His name is Kyle Rittenhouse. He wasn't even defending himself. He doesn't live there. He drove in from his own house to  Kenosha and shot two people. Tucker Carlson and Steven Crowder have actively defended him. Carl...
