A fangirl without a show.

1. What is it about school vacations that makes me want to cook and cook? Especially since the results seldom turn out well. But! Yesterday I had a strange yen to make bread, so I started poking around online for a good recipe. Despite my not being Jewish (or even really Christian anymore, for that matter), I found myself making challah! And

The challah is beautiful! I love making it, and eating it, and you did a beauteous job on it.

Also totally in love with the socks! I covet them, especially the Baudelaires. Lace is so not my strength. I'm cranking my way through a pair of Show Off Stranded Socks that I'm kind of in love with. Tis the season for socks! (But isn't it always?)

As far as fandoms go, try looking over the ocean. There is a lot of really good genre television coming out of the UK at the moment, beyond Doctor Who. Knowing you, you'd enjoy the mental gymnastics of Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes, and while I haven't watched the actual series, the pilot for Being Human was really good.

My husband just started working for the Census. He loves it, and it pays well, at least in our area, but you have to be comfortable talking to strangers.

Ah, that really is a cool pattern! Probably wouldn't work for me, though. My problem is that 90% of socks are designed to fit up to a size 9 or 10, tops, and my feet are an 11. I do a lot of lace just because I know it'll stretch enough to fit.

And yeah, this summer I'll have to catch up on some shows from elsewhere. I did like LoM, but not really beyond just watching and enjoying. ;) Still, I'll check out the Being Human suggestion -- thanks!

I have a fairly normal sized foot, but my calf is enormous. Makes anything taller than 3-4" problematic. And if one more person tells me to just go up a needle size, I'll strangle them.

I'm watching it now.

Didn't know about the cast changes, as I only grabbed the first six eps (apparently not including the Pilot) from BitTorrent. Might have to track that down, just to get more of the backstory.
