Defrosting a freezer takes a very long time even on a hot day (29C). I've boiled so much water this morning that I feel like I should be standing anxiously at the foot of the stairs, waiting for the cue to light up a cigar....

I wrote yesterday. About 500 half-decent words on a Foo Fighters fic. I'm amazed to discover--in the cold, rational light of day--that I actually still like most of it. Original fic seems to have deserted me recently, maybe I can lure it back when we're settled in.

Nightwing: Year One rocks. Fabulous character development. Sooner or later I'll be writing Nightwing fic, I can feel it in my bones. (Particularly one of the tiny bones in my wrist; it seems quite excited by the prospect, judging from all the aching that's going on there.)

After emptying my spice cupboard, I have discovered that I have three refill packs of ground cumin and about 60 jars of spices and herbs. The shameful thing is that I haven't cooked anything from scratch this month. *sigh*

Fairy-cakes with robots on them are yummy. As are BBQ chicken with ranch coleslaw sandwiches.

"Fairy-cakes with robots on them are yummy."

Now I'm torn. Do I wanna know what this is, or keep my mental image?

Cooking?

What's that?

Seriously. I have stuff in my pantry that got transferred from the old house to the new one back in 1999. I REEEEALLLY need to go thru it and toss what's out of date before someone (Hublet) eats it and gets food poisoning. Or worse, the stuff becomes sentient...

Heh :) Dave bought a pack of fairy-cakes--traditional kids birthday party fare; like cupcakes but less extravagent. They have a plain glace icing instead of a thick buttercream.

The robots were little sugar placques with pictures of robots drawn on them with food-safe dye.

All very cute, and now I've ruined your mental icture of them!!

I used to cook and bake a lot. Hopefully I'll recapture the urge to cook once this move is done as I'm starting to miss it....

Yes, me too! *wonders how much money it would take to lure Ang to Sheffield to be her Private Chef*

Well, you'll be pleased (or perhaps disappointed) to learn that Mr Sainsbury provided yesterday's lunch of sandwiches and fairy-cakes.

I haven't cooked since Saturday :P Ironically, I now really, really want to do some cooking. Oh well. By this time tomorrow I'll be getting used to a new house and kitchen....
