I know I write smut, but why is my keyboard so filthy? I just shook it upside down and a ton of cat hair and crumbs came out. Ish.
David I finished Chaos Strikes Back. Dungeon Master 2 won't play on our version of Vista so we're feeling wistful. We've re-memorized all the spells now, dammit! Give us more beasts to slay!
Have you noticed how many country names in English end in 'ia'? David and I went to sleep tossing them back and forth.
I woke him up declaiming 'Mongolia!' triumphantly.
It's very strange.
Book is going well and I'm slightly ahead of schedule but it's reaching that point where I'm easily going to hit the minimum word count so the target shifts to 'ending the story in the right place at the right time' which isn't quantifiable. So maybe there's lots left to write and I just don't know it and I'm NOT ahead of schedule :;quivers and chews nails::
We had a party at the weekend. It took us two days to prepare for (how do the Top Chef people DO it?) and we had about 30 people in the end and it wrapped around 12.45. I got squiffly and then stopped drinking wine and moved to water so I felt okay the next day. David was slightly more fragile...
We hit the current Food and Drink magazine for recipes and our pork and pineapple skewers and potatoes in this curry sauce got rave reviews.
Chipotle Pork and Pineapple Kebabs
The sauce isn't on their page but it's called Lemony Curried Yogurt, Cucumber and Ginger dressing. You basically hurl everything in the blender, smoosh it up and then trickle in 75 ml of olive oil.
1 cup 9250 ml) plain yogurt
I tbsp grated ginger
garlic clove
salt and pepper
I tsp sugar
I tbsp lemon zest
quarter cup (50 ml ) lemon juice
I tbsp curry paste (like Patak's)
I cup of chopped cucumber
50 ml chopped chives, same cilantro
One family who live about thirty mins away couldn't make it. It was an incredibly hot day then to my dismay it clouded over, thunder rolled and we had a brief shower. Which was good; cooled it off and it didn't rain again. They had two hours of solid, torrential rain with golf-ball-sized hail, a foot of water in the street and their basement flooded :-( They called us to ask what it was like where we were, decided they'd try to come then found out about the flood. They said they'd never ever seen rain like it. It does that here in the summer. The streets can turn to rivers and then an hour later, nothing. Bone dry.
