1. I am a completely terrible fandomer. This year's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
dgficexchange is over and the works have been revealed, yet still it's taken me a few weeks to even mention that I actually participated. It was just something I did to get myself in the writing groove again (and to prove to myself that I could actually finish a story). Just a fluffy story that I had fun writing. It's called The Academy.
2. It's snowing. Again. Oh Seattle, how much I'd love you more if not for your crappy, crappy weather. The heaters are on nonstop at my house (and I'm being 'bad' and not restricting it just to my computer room, where I spend most of my time). I'm kind of afraid of my electric bill.
3. For those of you who play Word Twist on Facebook -- doesn't 7 letters seem like SO MUCH MORE than 6?! I know it's only 1 letter more, and yet when the scramble comes up it looks like a SEA of letters.
4. I have become a "victim" of my own "success." I send my food pictures to my mom, uncle, and cousin (they requested it because they're all foodies too), and my cousin is now like, omg you HAVE to come over and cook for us! ( ... )
5. I have found/purchased Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, vols 1 & 2. It's supposed to be a seminal cooking book (and I ordered Julie and Julia from PBS, so I'm interested in the source material). ( Why this is interesting. )
6. Food wise, I've been busy. Here are some highlights from the last couple of weeks...
- Hodge Podge Salad
- Seared Chilean Sea Bass and Scallops
- Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli
- Meyer Lemon Sablés
- Creamy Scallop Soup
- Copycat attempt at Old Spaghetti Factory's Browned Butter & Mizithra Cheese + Meat Sauce Spaghetti
7. I've been watching Heroes S2. ( Commentary -- please no spoilers for S3! )
8. I'm still loving Two for the Road. There are a number of recipes they share (2 after every chapter) that I'm intrigued by and will make soon. The problem is that they're not exactly health foods. Still, if I don't have it every day it's okay right? Right! A few of the recipes that I want to make: Mama Lo's Broccoli Casserole, Cola Cake with Broiled Peanut Butter Frosting, and Chicken Fried Steak
