allana | Aha! I'm not completely evil then....

The chick I beta-ed for emailed me back today. This is either sod's law at work, or her ears were burning. Anyway, she thanked me very much for all my help, said that she hasn't been put off (interesting choice of words there) and will be posting the revised chapter soon. Cool! I should listen to my devil more often.

In other random stuff. I baked today. For some reason I decided to bake two things, despite feeling a bit ropey. This is a clear indication that someone else should make my decisions when I'm feeling off-colour. The challah bread turned out great if a little oddly shaped - I can't braid dough without ending up with one fat end that looks remarkably similar to a turkeys arse. I'm telling you, the resemblance is uncanny. I'm amazed it turned out so well as I kept forgetting to do things; simple things like oiling the bowl *rolls eyes* The Sweet Almond and Chocolate Chip Biscuits were less successful. Well, I'm sure they were very successful for their type, but not what I was looking for. If you've ever had fluffy savoury American biscuits (those that you would eat with gravy) then these were pretty much that. But with chocolate chips and almonds. Thus, their shelf-life is pretty much nil. Neither are they particularly photogenic. I should have made a cake instead....

I also stumbled over a LJ "Purple Prose" community. I haven't laughed so much in ages. I have a feeling that my "bad sex" challenge fic may be rather leaning towards this once I've done with it. I can't resist the hyperbole!
