Been drawing like mad. Completed the foreground today for the third piece of the triad I'll be hanging on Friday. The drawing is of Kannon atop a dragon, and I'm happy to say that I'm finally at the point in my artistic career where I can draw a kickass full-color dragon freehand. Also, those of you who know Meg will get a kick out of this if and when you see it, because Kannon, by no coincidence, looks exactly like dear Megra.
Also been cooking a lot. Yesterday I made a childhood favorite I haven't had in ages - cheesy potatoes with sliced hot dogs baked in. Used veggie dogs, naturally, frying them beforehand with some onions and garlic to lend the casserole added flavor and texture. Sliced the potatoes thin, boiled them until soft but not disintegrating, and drained them. Made a proper cheese sauce with butter, flour, warmed milk, and probably eight ounces of cheese. Mixed it all together, topped it with a crapload more cheese, and broiled to perfection.
It was, I kid you not, delicious.
