Lots o' work today. I hate urgent yet slow projects. I hate the "hurry up and wait!" thing this book is doing.

I made zucchini bread that refuses to get cooked all the way through. It's vegan, so undercookedness won't kill me or anything, but it's a little too moist yet in the middle.

I accidentally did something in the post-apocalyptic fairy tale that makes things harder for my character and more interesting for the reader. I LOVE it when I do that. She had a kind of fling with someone who later joined the bad guys. I put that in so she could feel guilty about breaking it off when they could really use inside information. Then I tra la la'd off to another part, came back to my girl, and had her snoop around Bad Guy Central and get saved by someone who has something they want. Then my brain went, "*poing* HEY! One of them knows her quite well by description. They'll know exactly who she is." Am I lucky, or smarter than I think? I'm going with the one that lets me sing "I am so smart! S-M-R-T, I am so smart!" :-D

I am in NUB with shoebox_project. The first installment made me laugh so hard I almost went and closed my window so Mr. Next Door, who was sitting on his porch, wouldn't think I was a complete lunatic.

Hey You!

I think it's because of you that I found remusxsirius and thereafter The Shoebox Project. I started writing crapy fanfic.

All. Your. Fault.

(thank you!)

Yay, I am leading the world, one by one, to see the truth and rightness of my OTP. :-)

I knew it when I read the book. Then I saw the movie and thought "Oh, they SO ARE together!" You showed me a community of others who believe that too!

again, thanks!

If baked goods aren't getting done in the center:

1) remove the as far as possible from the heat source
2) lower the temperature and cook longer
3) use a water bath part of the way through the process

If you need to know how to do a water bath, let me know.

I know how to do a water bath. :) My stove is just tetchy. The thermometer in it says it's cooler than it's set to, but stuff burns when I cook it for the time and temp the recipe says. I probably just overcompensated for its tetchiness this time.
