And Jamie Oliver is all about odd fast food. In fact, he makes some of the oddest fast food ever.

This one's a Mexican thing, with chicken, and many beans. It's actually reasonably edible.

You know, this waiting for permission to use the cover of "Weaver" on anything othe than postcards strikes me as demented.

Me too...kind of like if my mom wants to go back to her birth name she has to pay. It's hers.

I mean, the cover's not mine, in that I didn't design and don't own it. But this is to promote the book and make them money.

Weirdassed industry.

Kenny loves Jamie Oliver's second cookbook; the third one, NSM. He's made Thai curry and fish pie, and one night during a sleepover I stumbled out and found three of them doing a classic fry-up, giggling and arguing about the tomatoes.

DH, OTOH, is perfectly capable of ruining frozen pizza.

Wanna see the cover!

Amy, you haven't seen it?

It's gorgeous. All I need is permission from Marina Druckman in St Martins art department, and it's everywhere.

DEB!!!

It's a book cover!

What? It's always squeeworthy. Do you love it?

I adore it. It's generating masses of good response, too; I actually suggested the basis for the concept, the peeling back of layers to reveal the story behind the song.

So very cool. I will sit here and beam on your behalf.

What do you lot do in here, anyway?

We workshop to each other, and ask advice, and whimper for betas, and share news, and talk about writers groups and WIPs and whatnots.

Hmm. How well does it work, given the Buffista propensity to talk things to death?
