everything that i can hear from 9:27pm – 9:37pm


my laptop fan
cars in the distance
crickets in the nature strip outside my house
plane taking off
various sounds from the orica plant neary
a bird squaking
someone in the shower in my house
the beep sound from a large vehicle reversing far away
the slight hiss of the water main in my front yard
a truck on a connecting street
my mum telling me shes going to bed
a window closing
a dog barking 3 times
a front gate opening but not closing

 

what can you hear?

my pasta recipe :
invented in throws of despair in paris in 2023. if i was able to cook this in my tiny kitchen in my shoebox apartment, it can be cooked anywhere.

 

you’ll need:
– half an onion
– some garlic
– chilli (in flakes, vegetable and potentially sauce form)
– red capsicum
– green capsicum
– can of brown lentils
– jar of sauce
– box of pasta

 

you get the idea. it’s pasta i’m not going to give you a step by step. i don’t even know who “you” are, the only people that read this are beth and elle.
