I am having one of my intermittent, "Meat! Must have meat! Wrapped in dough!" signs of northern European heritage. We are going to attempt to calm it down with Chinese dumplings, which are close enough to the craving to reduce it to muttering for a little while.
Am also feeling like doing the flattened steak dish that I've been wanting to try for a while. I'm pondering, oddly enough, that doing so might help my stress level; I like cooking with people and feeding people, I find it a very social and calming activity. And I've been thinking about making this dish for some several months now, and while it's not exactly a high-stress 'this has to happen' thing, getting it out of the queue would be kind of nice. So possibly with the stealing of
whispercricket (for some reason, 'gelfling' doesn't seem to be a name on my flist) and
arawen's kitchen this weekend, since there will be people there. To do social cooking with, and to feed the results, presuming said results come out well. Will have to see if there's anything obvious to make to go with it. And get materials. And a meat mallet.
I'm feeling deeply pleased at the moment at the Slavic recon list I'm mostly lurking on, as someone made an offhand comment that fits in with a bit of my current bit of puzzle-solving cosmological analysis, so now I have one possible interpretation of ancient thought that meshes nicely with an interpretation of the thoughts of my blood-ancestors, so even if it doesn't work for anyone else, it works really well for me.
Have installed the most recent Firefox because my old Mozilla was flaking on
alhandra's pages (and a few other people, but this was the one that finally drove me over the edge). Fear my technoluddite rage. "Upgrades" . . . hah!
