Feeling Better Now

[xifeng]

I still want to sleep a really whole lot, though. We had carrot soup for dinner, which I had been going to make, but I still didn't feel up to cooking, so m0mmy fixed it for me after I got the recipe out for her.

A lot of reading and thinking this weekend. I polished off Neil Gershenfeld's Fab, which is a totally r0x0ring book about personal fabrication technology and what you, yes YOU, can do with it, and Iris Chang's The Chinese in America, which I totally read for researching-my-beloved-RP-character purposes.

The actual thinking: religious wangst, political wangst, and other stuff that if I want to talk about, I'll post filtered. Or elsewhere.

Glad you're feeling better now go check your e-mail. :D

Yes, Ashley. :D

Glad you're feeling better now, hun :)

Also, carrot soup is YUMMY.

So am I. Except my ears still haven't popped yet, which is most annoying. >_<

Ours was. Especially with parsnip chips. Parsnip chips = ♥.

[tara]

Erk, there are very few things more irritating than that :(

I've never had parsnip chips! *whine*

Amen. I've been trying to belch or yawn or something all day, but it ain't happening.

HEATHEN! Go, GO I say, to the corner grocery, obtain for yourself some parsnips, wash and peel them, and then slice them up and fry them in olive oil. They sound nasty, but they're actually quite good; raw parsnips don't taste like much of anything, but the chips have a not-unpleasant sweetish taste. ♥

Perhaps you just need to cut your ears off *nod*

Hm, I'm not a huge fan of parsnip, so I'm not sure how much I'd like it - probably tastes a bit like roast parsnip which is okay, but not good enough for me to run out and try the chips *g*

But then I couldn't listen to music. :(

I've never had roast parsnip. I'm curious now. Ahhh, adventures in cuisine. *g*

[tara]

Hm, that could be a problem.

You haven't? We usually have it with a roast. Roast potato, pumpkin, onion and parsnip. Yay :)

Until I saw the Light that parsnip chips bring to the world, I had never had parsnips in any way, shape or form at all. But that does sound rather good. :9

[tara]

*g* Give it a try next time you do a roast. Just make sure the parsnip is fairly small and not too woody, or else it'll be horridly chewy.

Wouldn't you know it, Lee, I think your new layout is superbly cute! I doubt you were going for that, but oh, the stars and the rather minty green color strike me as cute and peppy. I give you an A-plus-plus-plus. ^___^

I've never had carrot soup. Does this make me a lesser being? **shrinks down**

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

I wanted cute minty green stars. ^____^

Of course not! *pulls you upright again*
