Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
HEY! come visit me, mis alibelle. I have stuff. Like chocolate. And DVDs (including all of Alias on DVD). and yummy facial stuff from Lush.
Ooh. I really want to. But I don't ride scary LA buses alone after dark. Been there, done that, don't need the pinched butt. But you could so totally come over here with all that stuff. And I would pay for gas.
Okay, now the mean and taunty has been overshadowed by the cute. Sorry.
Darn it! Cute is my kryptonite.
Oh well. C'est la vie! It was fun while it lasted, Tauntville, but I am once again a princess without a princessdom.
Whee! The MadCow cluster is back, and LJ is mine, all mine, except for where I'm about to leave.
Leave and come here, right, ita? Right?
Darn it! Cute is my kryptonite.
I know the feeling. It was a glorious moment of tauntage, though, wasn't it?
Relish in that.
Alibelle... you're too far and yet too close to work.
Well. I happen to have just typed out the recipe for someone. Let me grab it from my email.
One to one and 1/4 pound eggplant.
- Cut into short strips, salt, and drain in colander for a half hour or so.
- Rinse and pat dry. Toss w/ 1 tbsp oil and spread on cookie sheet.
- Broil, turning once, until browned, about 12 minutes. Take out and set aside.
Yellow pepper
Orange pepper
2 onions
2 cloves garlic minced
2 saffron threads (I skipped this part)
-Cut all into largish chunks
- Heat 1 tbsp oil. Sautee the above until onions are slightly browned, about 10 min.
- Add 2 tbsp tomato paste and 1/4 cup water, stir until about absorbed.
Add:
Eggplant
1 can diced tomatoes or about 4 romas, chopped
1 can chickpeas
1/4 c. chopped parsley
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
1 tsp salt (I used a bit less than that)
1 1/2 cups water
Simmer for about 20 minutes or so partially covered until everything is tender.
I serve it with brown rice and it is, as noted before and probably again, fabuloso.
Leave and come here, right, ita?
Umm, ummm, sorry?
apologies for semi-x-post
Also, Natterinos--now that LJ is [slowly] going up, I'm re-examining my f-list. I have a feeling that there are some Buffistas with LJ's that I don't know but with whom I'm friendly. If we haven't friended each other and you wouldn't mind another little blonde tagalong on your list, feel free to email me [profile addy good] with your username and I'll send mine back as well.
Hey...
Do any of you have a kick-ass recipe for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies?
