I've lost the cooking mojo

[jwaneeta]

That's flat. It's confirmed.

I used to be something of a fist at cooking, really. I learned to cook in the monastery and for several years after, I could make good food. Lately, however, I'm an utter failure. Nothing's going right.

Chicken stew: how hard is that? I googled a recipe and followed it. What I have is a massive fuckton of chicken soup. It's not stew.

ION, I cancelled my Friday therapy appt so I can finish this job. It involves mummies, and the ref provided was scant and blurry, and my googling raised nothing better, so I asked astrid_v (who did an Egyptian book recently) if she had any sources.

She responded with about a gig of fabulous ref that got me all enthused. :D I spent thrice as much time on that Egyptian segment, just because it was actually fun. :D Thank you so much, Astrid! It looks pretty fabulous, if I do say so myself. Looking forward to seeing you at SDCC.

Anybody else going to San Diego this year?

It's freezing, so I'm using my obscure Tropic Thunder icon. Bless.

You may be having bad cooking issues right now, but you always sizzle! ;-)

Glad the mummies task turned out well and fun and everything. Your powers are amazing!

Sorry it's cold there. Weather is weird stuff...

Did you see Watchmen yet?

Aw, I'm sure your cooking isn't as bad as you think it is ;) As for SDCC, I wish! *pout* If it weren't literally on the opposite side of the country, I'd so be there! Alas, there's always DC :P

No, really: I'm a world of suck lately, with the cooking. I must have offended a household god or something. :(

I've never been to a comic comm

I really should go, but it's always like, something. Either lack of money, or no time. Ugh.

*innocent* Airfare is at an alltime low because of the economic meltdown, though. :D

And not to pimp or anything, but SDCon is rather a blast. And San Diego is lavish of touristy diversions for when you weary of the con scene. And if you're a foodie, you can't lose.

Hey, I'm so glad my ref helped!

I'm done with my pirate book, whewheeew! Feels so good. Oh man.

It was excellent ref -- I kinda went crazy.

Enjoy your deadline adrenaline rush. :D
