i guess i should pay my *share*....

Have done some slight defriending, mostly of people whom I've fallen out of touch with/whose interests have diverged from mine. Nothing personal, y'all. And as per usual, feel free to defriend me at any time; I don't generally make announcements about it and I don't expect explanations!

I have updated Livin' in my Teevee with the links that people provided and weeded out any links that no longer work. But I still want any links that you guys might have! The story doesn't need to outright involve people from movies/tv, and it doesn't need to be a popcast version of a show/movie; even something as simple as an influence when you were writing the fic counts.

And I do not consider any links you give me to be recs; my aim is comprehensiveness, not quality! So if you know of any really bad fics that would fit the bill, let me know. I won't judge you. *g*

I have taken to making casserole-type food lately. My neighbour used to be a wonderful, elderly Ukrainian lady named Edna who introduced me to the marvels of fresh pierogi, homemade head-cheese, and old-fashioned strawberry shortcake (the sort where the shortcake is a dense, crumbly buttermilk scone of sorts); when she passed away she left me her collection of Bon Appetit magazines, a number of books, and an array of baking dishes. One of them is a sturdy old Corning L'Echalote baking dish and over the past month I've made a Greek eggplant dealie (with chicken & yogurt cheese), chicken and chorizo enchiladas, and a sort of ratatouille over pasta & potatoes. I am a very ghetto cook and just throw together whatever the hell I have on-hand, but so far everything has been a)very quick, b)very easy and c)delicious.

While I was putting together the casserole, I got [livejournal.com profile] silvrsolace to make a Chocolate Pudding Cake and it is SO yummy. A wee bit sweet for my tastes, but very comforting when it's cold and rainy and you have it with a cup of coffee. Right now I am drinking the Breakfast Blend from Seattle's Best, and it's pretty damn good; I like low-acidity coffees but sometimes they taste a little wimpy, and if anything this one is a little too strong. They aren't kidding when they say it has a "powerful" flavour, yo.

I can't wait to see what happens on the shows I watch tonight; Supernatural got me antsy last episode with the Zoroastrian stuff, but some research has proven that they are (as they have been all season) pretty well-versed on mystical hoo-hah. I love that. It's one thing that used to annoy me to hell on Buffy, because they'd make up all these stupid magic/occult things that were completely idiotic when there are perfectly good *actual* mystical things they could have used. Also, I need Rory & Logan to patch things up on Gilmore Girls. Luke and Lorelai are being idiots right now, so I NEED the Rory/Logan to be in effect, omg. I love them so much it's almost sick.

mmm, pudding cake.

Dammit! I guess I'll have to just re-watch an old one. *g*

And I have NOT seen the official website! I haven't even thought to check. D'oh! Thank you for all the info, dude!

the official website is awesome. It has Dad's Journal, and you can flip through the pages and read some of them, like the scanned it.

Also, I want all your food! It sounds so yummy, and I'm sitting here with chai and cheese rice.

Chai and cheese rice sounds good. I am so impartial when it comes to food. *g*

Dude, I will admit that the cheese rice is damned good. Ghetto, made with kraft singles, but so damned good. This house would not survive without plain white rice it's a staple of pretty much anything my mother makes.

...and now I want some mackerel to go with this. [mouth waters]

No problem. If something is going to eat my brain I want to take everyone down with me.

Also, all this food talk is making me so hungry, and I have no access to delicious food right now.
