I must have spent about two hours on these pizzas already and I haven't even got the first one done! And I still have all the spring rolls and the samosas and the bhajis and the icing for the cake still to make, and these were the things I thougth would give me least trouble becuase I've made them so many times before but they JUST WON'T GO RIGHT!

I feel like I should have something to offer, but I don't.
Just the strange and not-so-random events in the life of Em.

I went to rehearsal today, but we couldn't do my scenes because we lost half of the Lost Boys and Wendy. We just had Chess and Laura teasing each other and me looking quite amused. Two of the three missing Lost Boys didn't even send ( Read more... )

I will put up my latest drabble here at some point soon. Just let me eat first!
And argh, I meant to just reply to a few things and go cook, but now everybody's here and I'm drawn into about three billion conversations.
WHY CAN'T THIS HAPPEN AT 2AM?

Anyhoo...

London food
I went shopping today. I've managed to get everything but the water chestnuts, ( Read more... )

But rather than commenting everyone individually and forcing you to think of questions (I've tried to come up with questions before, and it's fucking difficult sometimes), if anyone who has anything they want to know asks me here, and I shall edito this postrata (because adding extra syllables... yeah).

I'm getting back into the swing of writing regularly for the Forge, because attempting to get a job in journalism without the added benefit of an actual journalism degree is probably going to be quite difficult, and I need all the work experience I can get. This issue I have a 500-word Comment piece on the re-allocation of the Union's funding, due ( Read more... )

Nothing gets rid of frustration like watching You've Been Framed and beating the hell out of a big bowl of chocolate cake mix.
(Harry Hill's commentary is classic, but there clearly isn't a canned laughter for 'deliberately bad pun'.)

So, I was thinking, since I'm trying to get back into the swing of writing fic again, it's only fair that I make more ( Read more... )

We're postponing it. Because Valentine's Day sucks when your fantastic gorgeous lover is not in the country ( Read more... )

...could have gone better.
I have decided to name the results Cookies Hit By a Truck. I've tried some bits, and they taste pretty good, but they all fell apart on baking. And they went thin and flat, even the ones I got out when they were still big, which is disappointing because I wanted big Millie's-style ones.
But I now have double chocolate, mint ( Read more... )

And I NEED NEED NEED to update. People are starting to forget that I ever wrote at all, I think. The Femme Boosh is falling into disrepair already, and I keep saying that I'll do it, and I never do.
I got a review yesterday, for Dead Man Walking. It's kind of spurring me on.

I keep doing memes. I do them late. But there's no point not posting if they ( Read more... )

We had snow here today as well. Not as much as I'd have liked, but it'll be colder tonight so maybe MOAR tomorrow! And I shall go out for a walk in it again :-)
I decided that just in case it didn't last, I'd go for a walk today, just to get a scratchcard or something, cuz I won £4 on my last one. I was wearing my coat with a long skirt and my knee ( Read more... )
