After a long hiatus from baking, I made these Lemon Bars with Mindy Au.

They turned out really well. You actually need all 6 lemons that the recipe calls for. Moreover, 300 grams of sugar is excessive. We found that around 200 grams produced a very tart lemon bar that I personally prefer. Mindy handled the shortbread crust that came out very well. Making the curd and watching it thicken was quite magical. Some things in this world still inspire wonder within me after all. It's definitely something that I would make again.

As for life, I've finished up my degree at Penn. Now, I'm unemployed and looking for work. Everything is up in the air at this point. Who knows where I'll end up? Lately, I've felt that I don't have too much control over my life, and it call comes down to chance.
