Lemon curd = PWNED. It turns out third time really IS the charm.

First time I put too much lemon juice in (it was still tasty, but very tart) and second time I don't know what happened, I think the heat was too low, it foamed. This time, however, it is lovely and pale yellow and good on cookies.

I don't know if I've posted the recipe for this -- it's Alton Brown's, I can't take credit -- so here it is.

Seriously.

Every badfic I have read this week, and I have read A LOT (don't ask why) had the word "yet" in the first two paragraphs. Every single one. And in every single one it was gratuitous and ill-placed.

There needs to be a fucking embargo on the word "yet" until everyone learns to PROPERLY APPRECIATE IT and use it SPARINGLY LIKE SAFFRON.

Yep, it's Tuesday, so it's time for Sam's Three Things About House, if LJ will graciously allow me to post.

Episode 2.20:

1. Holy fuck, FOREMAN. YOU ARE STONE COLD. I was all "oh, maybe we'll get more insight into Foreman's character" but guess what, there is no more insight into Foreman's character. He's a paper stealin', leg stabbin' bastard from skin to soul! :D HE SHIVVED CAMERON. I will grant that he did it out of desperation and I'm willing to bet House would have done something similar, but I doubt House would stab a co-worker with a tainted needle. He'd threaten to, though.

2. House's face when they broke the MRI machine was priceless. I could see what was going to happen and then it went POW and House went "oh, fuck" in his head. A winnar is them!

3. I think House's entire personality can be symbolised in about ten seconds taken from this episode, where Wilson turns to him and says "You're being cautious. You're being...common." Wilson knows House operates on instinct guided by education, and if he's not being risky he's, well, not being House. Also, that scene was very well played and holy crap is that trick with the cane and the Ball Of Indeterminate Origin cool or what?

3a: Cameron is smokin hot in a decontam suit.

3b. Is it just me or did anyone else get the feeling that this episode was kinda filled with filler? Like, it could have been an hour-long episode but they wanted to really showcase the fuck out of Omar Epps? Is is his turn for the Golden Globe this year?
