I've lost the cooking mojo
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.
