http://www.avclub.com/articles/january-6-2010,36740/?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=feeds&utm_source=type_savage-love I am a queer lady in my 20s. My boyfriend and I recently discovered that we are both into BDSM. We started with some light bondage and spanking, added some role-play, and are moving toward some heavier stuff. I’ve spent some time reading online BDSM erotica, and here’s what’s stressing me out: I tend to gravitate toward stories that include age play (underage girls with older men). I think pedophilia is wrong and disgusting, yet I get off on the stories. I can’t stop feeling like I’m a huge pervert. Also, what is a good ... |

I'm home.
This is the weather the dog likes: crisp, cold, weather that puts him in mind of wolfish ancestors hunting on the steppes.
Me, I put on long underwear and dozens of layers over that, and top it off with the sheepskin Uigur hat I haggled for in Xinjiang, and trudge in the snow behind him. It's frozen on top, so you crunch and rock and hunt for ruts that already exist as you walk, or you teeter-totter across the surface, half-falling at every second step. While Cabal is happy in a world filled with sharp smells and frozen rivers, and he bounces over the ice and snow with joy.

Many years ago I discovered (via the currently hiatus-bound Fabulist) Jason Webley. I posted this a link to this song, Eleven Saints, a song Jason Webley wrote and performed with Jay Thompson...
Jason was pleased, and wrote to me to say thanks, and then, a couple of years ago, introduced me in email to his friend Amanda Palmer, with whom he was working on a project, as they worked to bring the music of two conjoined twin sisters they had discovered on the internet to the world. There were two songs out on the internet by the mysterious pair for a long time, but a new song, " A Campaign of Shock and Awe", crept out today: you can hear it at http://www.myspace.com/evelynevelyn. Highly recommended, and not just because of the, y'know, family connections.

Right. I do not want to be disturbed tonight. Maddy and I will be beginning our New Year's catch-up by watching the first part of Doctor Who 'The End of Time'.

As promised, here is an account of last night's culinary adventure.
(Short recap if you missed it; for Hannukah ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ugali was given a Moroccan cookbook and a promise by me to cook her 8 meals out of it.)
So I started by seasoning both of our tagines with olive oil and res al-hanout (a Moroccan spice mixture that includes cinnamon, tarragon, ginger, corriander, nutmeg, allspice and cloves.) Needless to say, the house smelled wonderful. The recipe we were making did not call for res al-hanout, but it seemed the best option for flavoring the tagine.
For my first experience, we had picked out Chicken Mkaddam Souri, a pretty basic chicken and egg dish. The recipe called for using a whole chicken, and cutting it down, but one could just as easily use boneless skinless breasts. However, at ugali's urging, I used the carcass to make us up a pot of chicken soup, which turned out quite tasty as well. I also took one look at the recipe and our tagine and decided to halve the recipe; these folk must use a really big tagine! In case you wanted to try to make this recipe and did not possess a tagine, they recommend using any sort of oven-safe casserole dish, and putting it in the oven. We, however, *did* have the requisite tagine and did make it on the stovetop, and the smells of the simmering meal were delightful. Behind the cut is the recipe; I have halved it already and put in a couple of my own notes for your edification.

After staring at a wampa toy I had set up on a shelf holding a rubix cube, I decided to paint it.. I sold this to some dude.. probably should have held onto it:
I also painted this for a friend for christmas, who I THOUGHT was a huge Star Wars fan (hes the one who got me into SW) but he kind of said.. eh, cool. thanks.
People, I swear..

I am feeling so blessed and grateful today for all the generosity of my friends and family. I received some really thoughtful and wonderful birthday gifts, and I want the world to know how truly appreciative I am.
Yesterday, Matras gave me that amazing knife set. Later in the evening, the Rock Band crew gave me a combined gift - a gift card to my favorite kitchen/cooking store, Sur La Table. And today, my co-workers are taking me to lunch, and they gave me a really pretty celtic style ceramic shortbread mold - dragons and celtic knots, plus the coolest spatulas ever invented:
I know how truly lucky I am to have such great friends. THANK YOU ALL! |

Chicken Mkaddam Souri a success! More details later.
-edit-Yes, that is a Bing and Bob icon for all things Moroccan. GIP. |

Well, my (replacement) birthday/Christmas gift from the_matras arrived today. It made my jaw drop when I opened it. I got it on my lunch hour when I went home to eat.
It's a set of very, very nice kitchen knives. Wustof Classics, for those of you who know knives.
A set of real "grown up" kitchen knives has been something I've been wanting for a very long time. My main set is serrated, which just doesn't get the job done right for most major kitchen tasks. I don't cook enough to warrant the really crazy knives (like the folded damascus steel santuku that my chef friend has), so these are just perfect for a serious home chef. Wow. Just....wow.
I can't wait to make dinner! I wish I had more things to chop! |
