How dare those fuzzy fuzzes!
'Serenity'
Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I couldn't figure out what was going on at first.
It's weird how often I catch translation problems considering I barely know any Spanish. They're talking about what a good cook the kid is, he made tortilla for dinner and they translated it as scrambled eggs. Anybody can make scrambled eggs. Tortilla is hard!
A Spanish tortilla is actually more akin to an omelet than what we think of as tortillas.
ETA: tortilla espanola
Yes, tortilla espanola. I would have tranlated it as frittata, I think.
And randomly enough, I just this moment pulled out of the oven a sort of version of that. Zucchini, squash, eggplant, hot red peppers, a torn up corn tortilla and cheese, doused with egg and baked. And it is the nom.
ooh that sounds delectable.
Happy birthday to Erin and Bobby.
~ma for erkika's mom's pay check getting a more reliable level of reliability.
Mmm, now I want tortilla. Yum. I just ate a scone, and am drinking my latte, as I sit in the library. Had to get lots of books for upcoming travels, so I figured I'd go get food and catch up on interwebs here, at the same time (my own laptop though). Other things may or may not happen today. Many things SHOULD happen, but...
I, too, have not been as catchy-uppy as I would like to be, lately. I read and think, but do not say.
Yay for Barb being rid of the momma!! :)
I like Bear Cub.
And I *love* tortilla. One of the many good things about wandering la Rambla in Barcelona was "Hey, I'm sleepy - let's go to a cafeteria and get cafe con leche y leche and TORTILLA!" and Alfredo would nod vigorously.
Nom.
I'm still tired and oogie and have yet to sleep, so of course, I decided to cook. I'm improvising. Bread pudding with stale Cuban bread, crystallized ginger and Lindt dark chocolate. Lots of cinnamon and allspice and vanilla to make it all warm and soothing-like.
I think my brain is mentally preparing itself for fall, even though we won't see any semblance of it 'round these parts for... oh three more months. Maybe. But it's at least all rainy and gray outside.
