I got mail from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
dine I enjoyed the update quite a bit! If you don't have them as part of your circle, you're missing out on entertainment and great recs. : )
I made egg sandwiches for breakfast, both eggs were double yolked monstrosities. Creepy yet delicious. I'm making a lasagna now, it's my first attempt and I hope it goes well because I've been craving it for a couple of weeks now. I miss Fazoli's, it was a great fast food Italian option. The Everyplates meal kits have really upped my confidence in the kitchen. Is it false confidence? probably. Do I still have all my fingers? so far.
OTOH - I've gotten sucked into Epicurious' Basic Skills Challenge which takes 50 people gives them ALL the kitchen gadgets and then asks them to do something like core and peel an apple (spoiler alert, someone tries to use a meat tenderizer mallet and I absolutely lost all my shit) or separate an egg (which one man manages to technically do in the most wrong way possible) and then an expert shows you how to do it the right way. So I also see that I'm clearly not the worst in the kitchen.
I'm reading The Testaments right now and I'm enjoying it now that I checked the wiki page and know there are actually three narrators. I'm dim sometimes. I enjoyed hating the The Handmaid's Tale which I read a couple of years ago. It's just infuriating, and even though obviously everyone jumped on the bandwagon because of the current state of politics in so many places, I probably should have waited for a better time to read it. But since I'd already done it to myself, I figured I might as well read the sequel and see what happens. I tried to watch the Hulu series despite my distaste for Elizabeth Moss, but didn't make it out of season 1.
While reading, I got an idea for a AU Hydra rises/Winter Soldier army fic for Sam/Bucky. It glances the tropes for a slavery fic, but also lets me stage a coup and do some other things with the Avengers characters. Not sure it'll ever see the light of day. Sam fans have to deal with the short end of the stick a lot when it comes to race and fandom, and I don't want to add to that. But I wrote a real easy 1,500 words last night at work and I like a lot of the sex/vulnerability/trust/consent/political issues involved. I mean, sure I could have been writing my assignment for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
idproquo but y'know, why do what you're supposed to?
