nablopomo, day 27 [thanksgiving prep, phase 1]
oh my goodness, how did it get so late?
oh yeah, i was watching iron man 3 and then checking on my chicken stock for the 123rd time today. yup, i'm venturing into the land of home-made chicken stock, thanks to a recipe that said "throw chicken wings, an onion, garlic, salt and water into a crockpot and wait." the waiting part is difficult. it's been simmering away for more than eight hours now and i think it's developing flavor? it's supposed to be a deep golden color and taste omg amazing, but mine isn't quite there yet. i guess i'll keep it going until i go to bed, then turn it off so it can cool off overnight.
i also had plans to start on the jalapeno cranberry relish and prep the stuffing, but that didn't happen. i did clean my apartment pretty thoroughly in anticipation of tomorrow, though, so there's that. i also wrote more of my omega!phil fic, which i definitely consider a good thing.
i also read a lovely fic: trust the system by spikedluv [15k, rated teen]. it's a clint/phil getting together/clint finds out phil's alive fic that takes into account most of the aired episodes of agents of shield. i really enjoyed how the author dealt with phil's state of mind. it was a lovely read for the rainy afternoon we had (well, it rained ALL DAY but it wasn't the terrible storm the local news predicted).
