Nope. Wasn't even thinking of you until I saw you replied. Would love to have you play some time though, when life recedes somewhat.

I try to pick random interesting words. I had meant to pick art, but then I got distracted and was thinking of alchemy. I am going to the library and then grocery shopping for a few items and will write when I get back. I've taken a cue from you and I think about things for a while before starting to put words down:D

(I'm awesome, and managed to use both aspects of chemistry.)

“I’m just saying. The chemistry between you and Merlin is undeniable,” Morgana hummed.

Arthur flushed. “The only ‘chemistry’ happening between us is in our Chemistry class,” he muttered. “Seeing as how we’re lab partners, and he’s a complete nerd.”

“And yet, you absolutely fancy the pants off that complete nerd,” she sing-songed, and Arthur scowled.

“Oh, don’t worry. According to Gwen, your feelings are indeed reciprocated.”

“We are not talking about this, Morgana,” he told her, walking away.

“Chemistry!” she called at his retreating back.

Arthur ignored her-but he still filed that piece of information away.

Just in case.

Eeee. Look at you, you clever bunny! I love how cute and fluffy and cute this is. Also, Morgana is totally right.

I love that she says "Chemistry" and it could mean either the class, or the sparks between Merlin and Arthur.

Go Arthur, for being so clever.

Adorable icon is perfect.

Hee, this is absolutely adorable! I love how Morgana teases Arthur about it.

(OT, but total icon love)

Alchemy in the Kitchen jelazakazone June 6 2012, 16:31:24 UTC
Gaius stood in front of the pot, scrutinizing it.

“Merlin, hand me the ginger.”

Merlin dutifully handed it over.

“And the mint, please.”

Raising the spoon to his lips, Gaius slurped a bit of the steaming broth.

“It’s ready for the saffron.”

Merlin pinched the amber threads between a thumb and two fingers, crushing them slightly, and then rubbing his fingers together to drop the spice into the broth. He watched the as the color flowed out, staining the broth a sunshiny yellow.

He closed his eyes and inhaled, breathing in the aroma of the soup.

“Gaius, this is magic!”

Oh man, that soup description made me so hungry, and I just ate! Haha! I love it!

:D Thanks!

So, any time I mention food, there is a good chance I have a recipe in mind that I actually make. This is based on a chicken recipe that calls for almond butter, ginger, onions, saffron, and mint in the broth. The almond butter and onions thicken the sauce. It calls for you to strain it, but we never do. Do you want the recipe?

You want to write me a drabble:D?

Ooh, that recipe sounds fantastic! I'd love to have it!

And I'm trying to formulate an idea for a drabble right now. XD

(Just 100 words is hard!)

“‘How about you and I form a covalent bond?’ What does that even mean?”

“Arthur,” Merlin sighed. “Please tell me you know what a covalent bond is--”

Arthur snorted. “Of course I do. You drilled in my head before the last exam, remember? What I meant was--” he gestured to the note in his hand, “--who the hell is sending me letters using cheesy pickup lines?”

Merlin blushed so deeply, even his ears turned red. “Can you not figure it out?”

“...Oh,” Arthur said as the truth sunk in. “I’m going to need more tutoring sessions then.”

Tension is very important in sewing, especially quilting. I usually lower the tension in the bobbin and top a lot.

I don't know what the issue is. I haven't even tried to figure it out. I wonder if I just need to put a new bobbin in. It's been acting up for a while, but I haven't done anything (much) since it started acting up.

Is the needle seated properly? Also sometimes it is the bobbin or maybe the bobbin casing?

I think i've changed the needle twice. I've rethreaded the machine.

I have not cleaned the lint out. I need to get some compressed air and spray it. The machine should not be that dirty though.

I have not changed the bobbin in any way. That's my next move.
