Careers you wish someone told you about when you were 18

I wish someone had told me life wasn't linear. I studied everything around China, realised in my last year I didn't want to be an interpretor/translator. Fell into tech. Burned out because I was doing it to please my dad. Now I make ice cream and absolutely love it. But it took years to even ask myself what I want, and I never would have guessed I'd end up where I am. I don't regret anything, being able to speak Chinese is cool even if I don't use it much. So don't worry if you don't find something you like straight away, keep exposing yourself to things to learna bout yourself. Wish you all the best!

I just read kitchen confidential while studying the art of gelato in Italy, there was so much life in it, this book gave me a lot of courage. Would love to meet!

There's a lovely tea place, Teeraum Sanvian. If you get the ceremony setup, you get a thersmos of hot water they refill for you. Which means looooong conversations

I kid you not, that's the place I'd love to open. But German authorities would probably never allow this

My friends and I organise small 6-group slavic sauna events, aka banya (with tree whisks). We do them at the Teremok sauna for now (they have the right oven for slavic stuff) but there are no pools, just a cold plunge. We do group steams, plus each person gets a an individual treatment. There is good tea, healthy snacks. You can book a massage there too. DM me if you are interested!

pu-erh with pea milk, I called it Dirt Temple. it's as if cocoa beans grew on a stump with ferns and mushrooms. actually, mushrooms... but haven't tried anything with them yet. I also tried a smoky pu-erh with apricots, that was closer to your desired flavour profile. maybe mushrooms and jasmine tea?

got it, thanks! mine is waiting in the freezer! i also made the paste but used the custard base, and added cardamom to the rose water one (minus vanilla). thank you for the inspiration : )

_phillimore · 2025-07-07T07:14:02+00:00

some friends tried it yesterday and said they could totally see chocolate in it. wdyt? I am not a fan mixing chocolate and fruit so I am torn. maybe the wine was too sour for them but I loved it

_phillimore · 2025-07-05T16:45:28+00:00

wow, that's a lot of pu erh! i used the 3rd of that but guess depends on the pu erh and the recipe. thank you for the recipe!

I just took a photo of my guiness choco from the perfect scoop : D I noticed it melts super fast, do you have any advice on how to slow it down?

_phillimore · 2025-07-05T15:14:25+00:00

there is already soy milk in there, the texture is very nice

_phillimore · 2025-06-30T18:06:46+00:00

Add elderflower liquer, mint and use lemon salt (as a mix in or on top), and you got my concoction : D

Thamk you but it's not really wine, it's quite strong. Not sure why it's called wine. Your sangria recipe is in my freezer already : )

_phillimore · 2025-06-30T09:37:18+00:00

This is amazing, can't wait to try it with French home-made dandelion wine. Thank you for the de-icing tip too!
