Ricotta-Stuffed Peaches

20210713 #breakfastdiary 148, 29°C/misty, 29 min/exercise I pit peaches and fill the hollow with ricotta cheese, then pop them in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up slightly. Apparently it's called #Greekmomo — since momo is the Japanese word for peach, I'm guessing it means a peach dessert filled with Greek yogurt. So this, then, is my #ricottapeach. Wong Kar-wai actually filmed a bed scene between the two leads that never made it into the finished film — an implicit scene shot from outside a rain-streaked window, letting the room inside be felt only faintly. In other words, In the Mood for Love started out from a more conventional, melodramatic place than what it became. (omitted) A few years later, the two run into each other at a friend's wedding; Maggie Cheung, who has been raising Tony Leung's child in secret, hides the fact from him. Tony Leung comes to regret it. This ending never got made because they were racing the deadline for the Cannes Film Festival submission. In a sense, Frenchmen saved a Hong Kong man. Because of (or thanks to) that festival deadline, the lean, nothing-wasted #InTheMoodForLove we know today came together. Sometimes the smallest trigger, clue, motive, or turning point ends up making history. The same is true of an individual life.
