afuna, who is one of Dreamwidth's code wizards, fixed my Master List! Or at least told me what was wrong with it. Apparently, my sloppy coding is running afoul of Dreamwidth's eerily intelligent HTML intepretation doodahs, with the result that the visible /a tags are a rightful chastisement of my inability to be symmetrical.

In other words, I'm closing tags in the wrong order and Dreamwidth would beat me at chess. No, that's too generous. It'd probably beat me at checkers.

I have also been reading responses to Trace, though I haven't replied yet; a lot of the stuff people are commenting on is stuff I was hesitant about, so that's good, it means my instincts are right even if I didn't listen to them at first. First chapters are always the roughest, which is why I read all the comments last night while drinking an inordinate amount of wine. It seemed sensible to refrain from response until I could type uppercase letters again. There will be a response, however! Eventually!

In the meantime, poached eggs and bacon and fried bread for breakfast, I think. And then, the Peapod Man, He Delivers.

My kitchen has been cleaned, scoured, dishwashed, mopped, sorted, and stocked. There is peanut free peanut butter! There is pomegranate juice! I might make a roast for dinner, or maybe a shepherd's pie. I have potatoes!

I got a new cherry-red slow cooker for Christmas. I'm making curried walnuts in it as we speak.

I DECLARE MYSELF GOD OF THIS KITCHEN.

Also, here is chapter two of Trace. Enjoy!
