Bwaogh.

I do laundry, hear me roar. For lo! I shall not run out of underwear while visiting brooksmoses.

For lo! I also really ought to pack!

And lo! teinedreugan, love, remember my henna.

And lo! My wrist hurts again, and I hope it doesn't keep doing this for a couple of years like the last time it did this.

And lo! I have been up far too late finishing a scene on Tenebrae, and am thus prone to making dramatic gestures and falling over.

And thus, lo! I go to bed.

Mmm, food.

Rasfc has been discussing ways of cooking rice. I, while kicking around wondering what to make for dinner (since teinedreugan's out playing cards tonight) decided to implement thoughts on same.

Good stuff.

The usual two cups of water to a cup of rice was the start, though I put in extra water because I was messing with it and because I don't have a lid for the pot so it's not steaming so well. I chopped up the last of the bit of onion I have, because today is the Day of Chewing Onions for Bast according to the Per Ankh calendar and I like onions so why not? and added the chopped onion to the rice along with five little shrivelled red hot peppers I had left over from making flavored oil for brooksmoses.

And speaking of flavored oil, I used that and some butter and some white vinegar and cooked some chicken chopped as fine as I could get it (well, to be more accurate, as fine as I wanted to be bothered with) in that, and then added it to the rice and stirred it around so it was all well mixed.

And when the rice was done, I poured two eggs (lightly beaten) over top of it all and stirred it around until the egg cooked from the retained heat.

Foooood.

Yummy shinies, too!

I'd been pondering at updating my 'bangles' userpic for a while -- the one I use mostly for religious stuff -- and had been frustrated at my inability to do so due to lack of skills and lack of tools.

However, I have a dear competitor.

And my dear competitor does graphics.

Thank you, oneironaut.
