Jan. 3rd, 2010 01:50 pmOMG RECC: I beta'd Zihuatenejo for Foxy for a fest, and it is Awesome. Shawshank Redemption fanfic! You don't see that very often.
In other news: my flat was chilly when I woke up this morning, and there's only one solution for a chilly radiator-heated flat:
COOKING.
So far today I have made rice in the rice cooker (so fluffy! So beautiful!), olive oil salt bread (a trifle bland; I might add garlic and parmesan next time), and maple cookies OH SO FLUFFY HOW SO FLUFFY, MAPLE COOKIES?
I have to make one quick statement because otherwise nobody will believe it: for Christmas I got a "Ninja Master Prep" blender, which Mum bought off an infomercial. I was immediately suspicious, but online consumer reviews were good, so I gave it a fair try. AND LO IT WAS AWESOME. It's reasonably quiet, powerful enough to make the dough for the olive oil bread, and everything seems fairly durable. So, good show Ninja Master Prep. (Though if you just want one you're out of luck; it's two-for-$60 or nuffin.)
RECIPES.
( Olive Oil Salt Bread; Glazed Maple Cookies )
I am also making baked beans as we speak, for filling in steamed buns. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A STEAMER. I'm very excited about steaming things.
