on things i need in order to live

FOOD IS AWESOME, YOU GUYS.

For lunch today, I had a bowl of cereal and then the best apple EVER. I like apples, but I don't buy them that often partially because I am snobby about texture and partially because I forget to eat them but, mmmmmmm. Now I want to go back to the grocery store and buy a big huge bag of them. Why has nobody told me about Honeycrisp before?

I just made dinner (...yeah, a little late. so?), and it is also ridiculously good. There was one chicken mango sausage and a third of an onion in the fridge, so I sliced them up and sauteed them while I made a recipe of coconut rice, and then stirred it all together with some crumbled feta and a splash of lime juice. Is there anything better than having impromptu "I'm hungry, let's see what's sitting around" meals turn out awesome? I think not.

Also today I got a package in the mail containing some super-cheap-o romance novels I bought, including a couple of Carla Kelly ones and all of my unread Laura Kinsale ones.

Also also, today it was cool and grey and absolutely lovely. Yay for fall Oregon weather.

All in all? I AM A HAPPY MONKEY.

You know what I discovered yesterday? Pears+Lemon Juice. Ridiculously awesome.

Huh. Interesting!

You have reminded me that this new manga called Emma by Kaoru Mori reminds me a lot of Carla Kelly, being quiet and careful and slow and about nice people coming to love one another, so I recommend it as a Pearl-o Introductory Manga Experience.

Also, \O/ more Carla Kelly and Laura Kinsale.

Okay, now my wariness of manga is going to be in direct competition with the fact that I really trust your recommendations, and how that does sound like something I'd like. Hmm!

honeycrisp! I discovered those very recently myself. the perfect combination of sweet and crisp! hence the name! I am really almost inappropriately excited about apples.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I think these apples are worth the extra excitement!

aww, I miss Oregon fall weather. Although, the weather in SoCal has been strangely PNW-like.

I am super picky about my apple texture and taste. I finally narrowed it down to Gala apples - sweet and crunchy. If the apple at all feels mushy I am outta there. :)
