Jul. 19th, 2006 01:50 pmchewed through 3 Orson Card novels and another short story compilation of his in the past day or two. I think I'll stop now before I read more, otherwise I'll start obsessing over them. Hart's Hope... *-*
I like the short story Lost Boy, though. I don't know why. It's a bit morbidly disturbing. And now that Louis mentioned it, it'd be nice if I could find Ender's Game somewhere, too. We might have it. We have a LOT of Card in the house.
I haven't obsessively read for a while. (Not since DRoP. XD) At least not random books like these. Mostly if I read I read the more well known books. Classics, and the like. No one knows Hart's Hope or Pastwatch etc or at least compared to a lot of books their fame is pretty low. None match up to Ender, of course.
In other news! Nothing for lunch, so I experimented making pot stickers and fried rice. The first attempt was a bit disasterous. Waited too long, and there was a mild splash of flying boiling oil which has left a few oil-splash-shaped small painful red marks on my right hand, and I sacrificed two pot stickers to boot. But the second time was fine. :D They were good.
Used too much soy sauce for the fried rice. _ _;; Not my fault! I was planning on using the korean sauce but apparently the tube was mostly empty so I substituted and then too much came out because you know those bottles are designed like that - for too much to come out on accident. And then you run out faster and go back and buy more and they can earn more money.
AND WE HAD NO EGGS.
What is fried rice without eggs? T____T
but I found raw meat and stuff and greenstuffs although WHERE did our garlic powder go in the days I was gone? well so it was decently fried rice looking. And it tasted good, too, although I think I'm the only weirdo who will ever add 肉鬆 to fried rice. Ever. 'sgood, though.
All in all, pretty successful first attempts! Yay! So I can officially make pot stickers now. At least from raw ones. I technically have gone through the whole dough thing and the folding of the pot sticker etc with my grandma but that's good enough for like supermarket stuff. Although in my case it's grandma stuff.
Cannot officially make fried rice yet, because wtf soy sauce drenched + no eggs does not COUNT. I will try again later in the week.
0039 edit: I don't think I'll ever get over this jetlag. Midnight's a good time to walk the dog, though. Lots of stars out.
