finished
Finished Chapter 5 of The Wolf Prince, after a stern pep talk by Jennise after I complained about how unhappy I was with my first draft of this book. She reminded me that the whole purpose of a "vomit draft" is to get the damned story down on paper (or disk, as the case may be) and worry about making it all pretty and descriptive and Meaningful during rewrites.
So, I sat down and pounded out the next three scenes. I think the skeleton is sound, but yeah, the writing needs work. But not until I'm done with the rest of this first draft.
Ended up making mango-lime sorbet for Pirri's visit. When I made a Costco run on Thursday, I found a 5lb bag of frozen and sliced/peeled mangoes, which is excellent since I had wanted to try making the following recipe, but had previously quailed at the difficulty of defleshing 2.5 lbs of fresh mangoes. They also had 5 lb bags of limes at Costco, so I was able to purchase the ingredients for two batches of sorbet.

I substituted white rum for the tequila in the recipe. It turned out fabulously--the fresh lime juice really enhanced the mango flavor of the sorbet.
