Stuff and Things
25 Jan 2012 17:00I got Dad the cookbook Plenty by Yotam Ottolenghi for Christmas. It has pretty, pretty pictures, but in my endeavours to actually cook something out of it, I can't say as I've done that well. The recipes work and are good, but they also call for stuff I'd have to hunt down even if I lived in town. Most I have to abandon outright, and the rest have required some heavy substitutions. If I ever get my act together, I'll plan enough ahead to order these things from the store. Not going to be this month though, as I just sent my order in.
Mystery of my life: If I put fruit on the counter, I will eat it. If I leave it in the fridge, it will stay there until doomsday (or I move it to the counter), no matter that I'm in the fridge for other snacks.
I'm trying to tidy up one major mess in the house per day, on the theory that given a month or so I'll reach something approaching tidiness. Maybe.
I'm currently reading a MA: Avengers Poly fic which broke the pairing tags at AO3, and a Professionals/Jane Eyre fusion. I have no idea why on the later one. I don't even like that book. I've just been on a Pros kick of late. Off shoot of my Starsky & Hutch watching kick, perhaps. I can never find slash for the latter pairing that I actually like.
Have been watching this Avengers vid to the point where I have the song permanently stuck in my head.
I have re-labled all my icons to put the fandom first. This will hopefully allow me to actually find things.
The sea is UP here. Big storms in the last few days, and some really enjoyable wind of the kind that shakes the house. I took some pictures of the surf, though such things are difficult to capture in stills. We're standing on the rock at the bottom of the fuel line. Every time one of those wave hits, the entire rock (something about the size of a house) shudders. Then the whole highline rattles as it sweeps over the tail hold rock. Then we got wet.( Pictures )

Day Five: In your own space, share something non-fannish you are passionate about with your fannish friends.
So you've already heard about this ad nauseum, but them's the breaks, the other choice is queer theology.
Lighthouses. I think they're just awesome. I grew up on one. I work on one. I read about the history. I visit them on my vacation.
Here's some pictures:( Some of these you may have seen before )
I can think of no other edifice constructed by man as altruistic as a lighthouse. They were built only to serve. They weren't built for any other purpose. —George Bernard Shaw.
