*giggles*

I just got a phone call from lyra_sena, calling to tell me in detail all about the Fraser's dead mommy references in "Hawk and a Handsaw." Apparently she is dealing with her horrible computer karma through major major overdosing on all her due South tapes. So, plus, there! I guess she's taking the computer in tomorrow, so hopefully she will be back soon. *misses like whoa*

(Lyra sounds nothing like I expected, and has an adorable accent, in case you were wondering.)

cooking: frittata, scones

So, the best thing about making frittata is, it makes me feel hardcore. I'm all, "ahahaha! I take all these leftover bits and random vegetables I have lying around, and I make something worthwhile and cooked and good-smelling with them! I am magic cook woman! I have made an actual meal of these unconnected bits of food!"

On the other hand, of course, is how I forgot that while they're edible and everything, I don't actually like them that much. Oops. Maybe I'll save making them again till I have the Sister around to gobble the entire thing down.

I made scones from the prettily packaged mix over the weekend. They turned out kind of weird, but in a way I am inclined to blame on me and/or my oven, rather than the mix -- they were very flat, so they look like large cookies and were just about impossible to split in half, and they also browned unevenly. They still tasted pretty good, though, I think.

As a consequence of that, I have a cup of heavy cream sitting in my refrigerator, and no idea what to do with it. Whipped cream? I don't really have any dessert-y things about. The time and ingredients things seem to rule out pies. Pasta sauce? I really have no idea. Hmmm.

pearl_o: which, reminds me, omg, dude.
pearl_o: I have a fucking field trip this week.
pearl_o: Because I am apparently in 4th grade and no one told me.
pearl_o: I am going to be gone all of Wednesday and Thursday to go and sleep in a cabin on the cold rainy beach

estrella30: noooooooooooo!!

birthday fic for dira

Unless I have failed in my time zone converting, I believe it is now officially the 19th in dsudis-land, and thus birthday time. I have no hockey, I'm afraid, so I offer kidfic instead. Happy, happy birthday, Dira!

This story is related to How Many Ways, but doesn't require having read that one, I don't think. Thank you to lynnmonster and brooklinegirl for beta.
