a) It is 8 am and currently 85 degrees outside with a 99% humidity.
b) there is but one thing and that one thing doesn't even take the time needed that'd pay for my gas out there and can wait.
Thus, I am staying inside, and rolling up Magical Girl stats from the Magical Burst RPG.
...Puella Magi Madoka Magica looks like it might be my sort of crack.

foraging in the yard for noms
May. 12th, 2011 02:01 pmI should always remember to forage in my own yard for some things for salads. It's so easy to forget how delicious some plants can be in a salad, and cost so little for me to get aside from a little work picking them!

Case in point, the wild wood violet, which grows like gangbusters in the grass of the lawn, between the dandelions, creeping blistered charlie, clover, pokkelidjer weed (crownvetch) and tiny fernlike plants I can't freaking identify.

Four cups of violet blossoms and I haven't even gotten through 1/4 of the yard. What I don't eat, I'll press or dry on a rack for dried flower jars.

Hokay, plz muse, I know you liked doing the random even package for
wanderlustlover but could you reign in the need to make minishrines for a bit.
...Yes. Lil altar cloths for the minishrines might be a good idea. Except they'd be too expensive for the size and no one would want them.

For those who've known me...
Jul. 14th, 2010 09:05 pmI get frigging jumpy about thunderstorms. I mean I still jump, squeak and take cover if I hear lightning crack.
But there is ONE thing about thunderstorms that I like.
...the change from normal clothes to swimming suit took a minute, the search for a shampoo bottle a little less, before I was outside and enjoying the nice cold downpour after a day spent in the baking area of the kitchen.

Jul. 12th, 2010 05:43 pmhokay atta library and in the mood to take a ride on the meme train.
wanderlustlover gave me the letter F!
1. If you'd like to play along, reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. You then list (and upload or link to the video, if you feel like it) 5 (or 6 or 7) songs that start with that letter.
3. Then, as I'm doing here, you'll post the list to your journal with the instructions. IS ALLLL SHINEY
Franz Ferdinand - Forty Feet
The coldest calm falls
Through the molten veins
Cooling all the blood to slush
That congeals around the again
[ lyrics ] [ youtube]
Elbow- Fallen Angel
All the gelded mongrel
Bear their teeth for you
Drag your feathers 'cross the dancefloor
Throw your shapes electric blue
[ lyrics ] [ youtube]
5ongs from 5ideways - Food For Thought
So, do come inside,
Put up your feet for the night.
I know that we've only just met,
But I swear that I will not bite!
(two. three. SCREAM.)
[ lyrics ] [ mp3]
Guster - Fa Fa
When you look in the mirror, wish you were somebody else
Just a perfect reflection, you and no one else
[ lyrics ] [ youtube]
...and at the risk of all my music choices sounding completely insane..
Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta
I'm not sick, but I'm not well
And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell
I'm not sick, but I'm not well
And it's a sin, to live so well
I wanna publish 'zines
And rage against machines
[ lyrics ] [ music video]

Alright, because someone suggested it...
May. 4th, 2010 04:11 pm...should I do a food blog?
Main reasons I haven't started one, outside of posting a few recipes here, are these.
1) (biggest issue) ...I don't measure during my cooking experiments. Not accurately anyway. sure I'll base most of the experiments off of a recipe I might find online or specifically look up. Like Tempura. or Risotto. From there I just start messing around and it doesn't SEEM that origional or creative to me.
2) Other Foodie Blogs. They do food blogging a HELL of a lot better, with lovely photos and strange fruits. I wanna try a kiwano melon damnit. I see them so often in the foodie blogs from the west coast. I know wisconsin has some artisian cheeses and heritage fruits growing here, but usually they're way out of my price bracket.
3) I go squueeeeeeeeeeOMNOMNOM on my experiments and forget more often that I actually write about them in here. I haven't kept track of how many bentos I've done, but it's probably up in the hundreds by now. At least 200.
So. Thoughts?
If there are at least 5 comments by 8pm central time, I'll post the fried spinach chicken rolls recipe.
