I wanted to make a post about Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
, which was a Hanukkah gift from Krista, which I am really enjoying a lot -- but I'm editing a looooong book right now, so it will have to wait. Instead, have some links!
+ FedFlix -- movies from the U.S. government available for free with no restrictions. These are amazing. I have already watched Quality Control of Concrete and Morphological Expressions of Cell Injury and Handel's Messiah at the Naval Academy (1976).
+ Buttersafe, an often hilarious webcomic; my favorite is this strip about a sleepy panda.
+ Smitten Kitchen's recipe for spicy gingerbread cookies, which I made at the end of December. That recipe makes a crapload of cookies, which turned out to be too many for even my entire family plus two households of neighbors to finish. (Most of them are dinosaur-shaped, but I did make several menorahs! Picture!) I still have about about fifteen unbaked cookies in the freezer, waiting for a day when I'm desperate for molasses-y, pepper-y cookies.
+ Vegetable pot pie with cheddar biscuit crust - so delicious! I make pot pie a lot, always with vegetables, usually my own recipe; I tried this one because usually I use regular pie crust for the topping and this cheddar biscuit crust seemed interesting. A++, will be making again for sure. (My family loved it, but we all thought it needed crimini mushrooms, in addition to celery, carrots, peas, potatoes, and onion.)
+ Dream A Little Bigger, Darling -- a guide to firearms, written by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chn_breathmint for Inception fanfic writers, but if you want to write about guns in your book or fanfic, this is a good jumping-off point.
+ My 12 of 12 for January. Mostly food!
