Nothing says "dinner's ready" quite like the smell of melted tupperware.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I had to check, and your Storm is the vaunted Alicia Marie. I also like [link] If I ever get my Lana cosplay together, I'd do this version of Storm second [link]

I had a cousin named after Shango, the Yoruba god of thunder. I still have the cousin, but new name.

Oh, Ginger.

So in addition to my yard being kind of burned down and being out of work, I discovered this afternoon that my car needs $1K worth of work--the bearings are shot and the left side hub is rusted together and must be completely replaced. Woot.

OTOH, my dad just sent me a fat check. Really fat. In which case I can not only pay for all the work I need to have done, but even maybe replace my laptop before it goes tits-up, as they say. He thinks I should get a new car with it, but I need my laptop far more than I need a car, in some ways...

We've got a helluva light show here.

God, I hurt. My shoulders have been on fire, or more accurately, knotted up and spasming all day. Swim hurt, but help. Not even aleve touched it. I hate hormones.

My attempt to reverse-engineer the awesome flatbread I ate at Consuela's brother's restaurant was not 100% successful, but it was still pretty delicious. Flatbread with chicken, arugula, goat cheese, and a blueberry reduction.

I was super hungry and impatient, so my blueberry reduction had a bit too much liquid in it.

I was super hungry and impatient, so my blueberry reduction had a bit too much liquid in it.

As I discovered with the flatbread I made for lunch, too much liquid is contraindicated.

Oh, that sounds good. Reminds me of the tapas I had in Madrid that were a revelation: leeks and goat cheese, rolled in a leaf of phylo (or in a thin batter, I dunno) and fried, with a blueberry-vinagrette (which was not too sweet or vinegary) dipping sauce.

Honestly, that, the grilled porto sandwiches I've been raving about lately, the toasted onion focaccia with jamon iberico, openface (also, Madrid) and the grilled haloumi cheese with dipping spices and spreads in Cairns (that I have no clue about) rank among my favorite tastes.
