So I wrote out a long, long, dear God long, depressing entry last night, then my computer crashed.

Everyone should be thrilled by this. I am.

So. Because I'm in the mood.

Recipes! Failsafe! These are recipes that are completely idiot proof they are so easy. I mean, I can make them without messing them up.

Sand Tarts, from the Helen Corbitt Cookbook.

Seven Layer Cookies from Christmas Cookies by Oxford House

( seven layer cookies )

Peanut Butter Blossoms (no idea WHERE this came from. Small piece of notebook paper in bottom of recipe box)

( peanut butter blossoms )

Forgotten Cookies from Christmas Cookies by Oxford House

( forgotten cookies )

And for those in need of a cookbook for people who don't stock every kind of everything in creation. (hating Joy of Cooking)

Helen Corbitt's Cookbook.

It's not in print anymore as far as I know, so whenever my grandmother see one at a used book store or garage sale, she buys it. Simple, easy to make, no really, recipes. Strangely, when she says you probably have the ingredients as leftovers, she's usually right.

My mother's is full of notes, since my grandmother tried everything and gave it as a gift to my mom on her wedding day. Mine's just getting started. *G* I work in pencil since I'm not as confident in some of my choices. Especially recommended are the Beef Deutsch and the Beef Stroganoff, which as far as I can tell are basically the same thing, one starting off with cooked meat and the other not, along with some vegetable variations. I usually combine them to get the sour cream sauce right. You really can't go wrong with green peppers, pimentos, and mushrooms. I also make the sour cream sauce separately before adding. It just thickens better that way.

Hmm. Wow, this was a useless entry, wasn't it? Still, it can never hurt to share the recipe blitz.

Recs:

Yellow by RivkaT. Excellent, gorgeous, fun, and funny. And plot! Mmm.

The Bed Is Empty by Jessica. Wonderful, sweet Clark and Lex fic of sheer happiness. *sighs* Just lovely.

Naughty and Nice by Caro. *grins* I love Christmasy cuteness and this is definitely one of the most fun.

Winter by RachelRhiannon. Mmm. CLex in winter. Smut. Lovely use of style.

Coming to Town by ingrid. I haven't chuckled this hard in awhile. Santa! Lex! Clark. REINDEER! And even Rudolf! Read and love.

The Gingerbread Party by meret. Awww. Schmoopy loveliness. *hugs* Just as nice as hot chocolate on a cold day.

My email is behind again, because I'm procrastinating it big time. I'm still wired, since I had to be up most of the night to listen for Small Niece, since sister and her fiancee were needed somewhere else for the night, and I was too tired last night to risk sleeping and not being able to wake up if she needed me. Oh the coffee. Oh the shopping I still have to do. Oh my to-do list frightens me.

Oh, poor

buggery, who I was AIMing last night until my computer crashed. Sorry, babe. I was in too--uncertain--a mood to get back on.

But! Firefly pilot tonight!

I moved most of the rest of my webpage to illuminated text, though the links haven't been corrected for the stylesheets or pretty much anything else. Just a little more to go. Plus, it keeps denying me permissions for bizarre reasons. *shakes head*

That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...
Wow. That was scary. Lex is like Jesus in the desert.

Obi-Wan has a sort of desperate, pathetic patience in this movie. You can just see it in his eyes: "My padawan is a psychopath, and no one will believe me; I'm barely keeping him under control and expect to wake up any night now to find him standing over my bed with a knife!"

It's weird, after you get used to the affection you get from a rabbit, it's like any other BDSM relationship. Only without the sex and hot chicks in leather corsets wielding floggers. You'll grow to like it.
