Good! Finished writing Rhapsody yesterday (AT LONG LAST. That script took me over A WHOLE YEAR to write! This is so not done. I don't even know why it took me so long, for a story that I had all planned out from the beginning) tonight I'll re-read it, correct it, maybe add more directions for the artist, and then on Monday I'll be free!... from that story at least. Well from the story of the series' first volume. Anyway, to-do list:
-develop a plot and an entire universe for a shounen series, since Dara-chan decided he wanted more than the little one-shot I wrote for him. Not complaining, here. I want to make it some kind of remake of The Island of Doctor Moreau. And, of course, HunterxHunter, since no matter what I do, no matter which new influences and authors and art I discover, I always go back to my gods: Alan Moore and Yoshihiro Togashi.
Anyway, chances are I'll be bothering you again about it if it works out.
-write that fucking third part of the third chapter of my Puck/Kurt food porn fic, The Art of Love and Cooking (my fic titles suck balls). Now that time has passed a little and I've re-read the two previous parts, I've decided I don't hate it and my writing in English and myself anymore, so I'll finally get around to finish that third chapter. In theory, the parts that follow shouldn't take that long, since that third chapter really was the most difficult to write for me. I really want to finish that fic; I said I would, and I will. è_____é
-at the same time, write the script for the second "episode" of Mytho. At least that shouldn't be too hard XD
After that, Inch'Allah. I dunno if I'll be able to write my massive Sherlock crossover fic, but at least I'd like to write the genderbent one; I've prepared a fanmix and everything, it would be a pity if I didn't complete it.
Other than that, happy Easter! Or happy some-kind-of-pagan-spring-festival. Or happy Sunny Sunday. A few friends and I went to the Parc de Sceaux today for a late Hanami picnic (we missed the right date, which is usually the second Sunday of April, but we decided to do it anyway) -- and the reason I'm telling you this is because I've finally tried to prepare the candied aubergines with the recipe I've linked in the bonus post to Umami!
Sunday FOOD Porn yaaaay!! ^0^
I wasn't a hundred percent convinced by this recipe, though. I'll try them again, but I think they're best eaten hot anyway (duuuuh), and I'll change the recipe a little next time: less miso (they really were too salty), honey in the soy sauce instead of sugar, and I'll cut the flesh inside the aubergines in squares so the miso really soaks in and so it cooks better in the oven (they took way too long to cook last night)

Here they are. Looking a lot less sexy when they're cold -- definitely not suited for bentou food. *shrugs*

Hanami is a tradition that we celebrate each year with my friends, and each year we try to do different kinds of Japanese food. This time I tried my hand at kara-age (=Japanese chicken nuggets) (pronounced kah-lah-ah-gay), in the tupperware on bottom right of the picture, next to the lemon), and they weren't bad at all

I also made salmon onigiri (those rice balls inside the long tupperware on the bottom of the picture) -- I'm the undefeated Onigiri Queen, I can't be modest about it: my onigiri rock. As for my friend Bratha (who happens to be a very talented artist in addition to being a wonderful cook) she prepared one Feta cheese/grilled vegetables cake, and one salmon/green olives cake, they were absolutely scrumptious.

The crunchy long beans seasoned with sesame in the bowl on the bottom of the picture (which were also mentionned in the S/J food porn) were prepared by my friend Din.

Din also made hanbaagu that I tried to eat inside some sort of hollow rice cracker -- Din's meatballs are The Bomb.


And for dessert Din's boyfriend, Antoine, baked the best macha cake ever -- usually macha tends to dry out any cake as it cooks, but this one was very moist, I don't even know how he did it without it turning too greasy.

And since they're now of season in France, Bratha also prepared an incredibly good strawberry and fresh mint fruit salad -- if my stomach wasn't so full by the time she served it, I would've fought the others to keep the whole bowl for myself, seriously. I NEED to steal her recipe.

Btw, you'd like to instead of using sugar, mixing a little cooking-grade Mirin with your shoyu for the eggplants/aubergines. Just a suggestion.

Ce que je ne regrette pas :-). So Merci :-). Et si d'aventure, il te prennait l'envie de continuer à écrire malgré quelques mois de silence, je ne peux que t'y encourager. Je te souhaite une belle soirée et une bonne semaine à venir (vive le Carnaval).
