Domestic goddess, reporting for duty! :D

Note the first:  My husband makes possibly the best guacomole in the world.  I could drown face-down in a bowl of the stuff and die happy. omgsogood.

Note the second:  Was in a bread-bakey mood today, and have decided to try out a recipe I have for challah.  It is in the oven, and the house should be smelling delicious soon.  (If the challah works out, next step is brioche! Which still terrifies me somewhat!) ---Oh, yeah, baby.  Fresh-bread-smell in the house.  Mmmmm :)

Note the third: I keep saying this, and I keep not doing it.  I think it's time to trim ye olde f-list.  If I (a) cannot remember the last time I commented in your journal, (b) cannot remember the last time you commented in my journal, (c) have caught myself skimming your entries without clicking on your LJ-cuts, or (d) cannot remember how I even know you, then you will likely be trimmed.  Let me know if you don't want to be. :)

ETA:  challah bread was not a total crash and burn failure! Slightly overly brown on top, and I totally screwed up the braiding of it, and I am suspecting it ought to have risen higher, but I am eating a piece of it slathered with honey and it tastes good! :D

ETA2: Bread was good, but now I require tea... I think some Earl Gray with bergamot should do the trick nicely.

Nooo! Do not cut me!

Silly girl. ♥

I should have added: IF I HAVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER OR PHYSICAL ADDRESS, YOU ARE IN NO DANGER OF BEING CUTTEDEDED.

[mscongeniality.livejournal.com]

But...but I keep thinking about how much I miss you and how we never talk and it is so saaaad.

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

It really is kind of ridiculous how it takes Yuletide for us to connect again, and even then we spend the first hour bemoaning how it's taken us that long to connect. IT IS A CYCLE OF MADNESS.

(Also, did you hear? The Hamlet with David Tennant is going to be on PBS this month!!!!)

I HAVE IT DOWNLOADED! MWHAHAHA!

I even converted it to my Apple TV and everything.

Must abandon life at some point to watch it ...

[mscongeniality.livejournal.com]

Holy Crap! No I didn't hear that. Methinks I need to catch up with Masterpiece. (I'm assuming it's going to be on Masterpiece because he's the host and stuff but I could be, you know, wrong.)

For some reason my brain turned that into "David Tennant, in: THE HAMLET." Or better yet, Teh.

and now said brain is melting.


*goes to look up local TV schedule*

*sends you a big puppy-eyed look*

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

Oh, come now. YOU ARE BUNNY NEE-CHAN. Also, we totally bother each other on Twitter. ;)

[dqbunny.livejournal.com]

Yay!! I've been noticing that using Twitter seems to replace my LJ posting to an extent. But, it's so much immediate.

Ironically enough, I picked up "Pride and Prejudice" at the library to read today. You were already on my mind!

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

It's also 140 characters, so an exercise in conciseness ;)

[ambrosyasylva]

Funny, I don't *think* I need a trimming...

[vitani]

I'll see you around, then. ♥

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

...ocrap.

Um.

Yours I didn't mean to cut. I AM ADDICTED TO YOUR PUPPYKITTY POSTS.

[vitani]

Hahaha! I admit, I did wonder a little. I was like "But she just commented on one of my posts!"

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

I fully admit there will be fine tuning in the future. It was just getting so lonnnnng and impossible to manage, or keep up with.

*fixes*

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

Above comment re: phone number/physical address applies. ;)

(That said, I miss yooooooou.)

[everstar3.livejournal.com]

I'm around! Where are you?

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

Backyard, at the moment. Enjoying the pre-omgrainstorm breeze. Very peaceful out here. :)

[everstar3.livejournal.com]

Ooh, very nice. Hopefully it'll rain some more here soon.

I am inside and I should do some chores which will hopefully warm my hands. I shall also have some more tea.

[patchcat.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm...bread. I really should learn to make that. Any suggestions on good places to find recipes?

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

I am a huge fan of my King Arthurs Bakers Companion (I think is the full name of it). But a lot of the same recipes can be found on the King Arthurs catalog website.

Ooooooo fresh bread. I love me some fresh bread. After about 10 years of asking (seriously, no exaggerating) I finally got a breadmaker for last Christmas. Had I known I could use a kitchenaid mixer to make the dough, I'd have asked for that instead, since I generally only use the dough cycle. AND I'm babbling now, but I should go make some more bread. Yes. :D

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

I use my breadmaker a LOT less now that I have a kitchenaid (got it a couple of years ago for Christmas and loooooove it)

My biggest problem with making bread is the water temperature -- I tend to screw that up, and then things don't rise as they ought to. But that's just a matter of practice, I know.
