booklog + kink bingo
#70: A Tiger In The Kitchen: A Memoir of Food and Family, Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan. Exactly what it says on the tin. Tan wanted to connect to her family in Singapore by learning to cook the family recipes, and along the way talks about the family history and stories. Very enjoyable book. My only quibble is that I think she wrote each chapter as a separate essay, and then not-quite edited, because information is sometimes repeated like it's brand-new a few chapters later.
In other news, I got an Arbitrary Mod Prize at kink_bingo! \o/ For the rape fantasy domestic kinksters fic, ah ha ha. I'm going to reproduce the mod writeup here, because it made me kick my feet with glee:
This story charmed us both with its combination of rape-roleplay and long-term-relationship domesticity; it's clever and hot and so very loving. The setting for the kink is all domestic and mundane - the dogs are at daycare, honey, so let's do that scene we've been wanting to do - and then the scene itself is very much about monogamy and domesticity, too, where the characters play with a cheating fantasy and a jealousy-punishment scene within this context of trust and good communication. It's wonderful to encounter an all-out rape fantasy story with this much sweetness underlying it.
DOMESTIC KINKSTERS ARE SUPER-DOMESTIC, YES YES. That pretty much made my day. Well, that and William Beckett quoting Ryan Adams lyrics on Twitter. And yelling about drawerfic of my heart on chat. And watching Parks & Rec with
alpheratz. It was a pretty okay day, except for the part where Gmail decided I didn't need to talk with
romantical, which is INCORRECT, Gmail. Quite incorrect. (...did anyone else email me and the message just never arrive? I'm all paranoid about Gmail now. D:)
But anyway, now kink_bingo's amnesty round is open! Excellent. I enjoy that.
I guess I should do some work. Sigh sigh.
