Random stuff chez Ang
Aug. 29th, 2005 03:08 pmDefrosting 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.

Now I'm torn. Do I wanna know what this is, or keep my mental image?
Cooking?
Date: 2005-08-29 04:57 pm (UTC)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 I REEEEALLLY need to go thru it and toss what's out of date before someone (Hublet) eats it and gets food poisoning.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...

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