{ in which M turns to the almighty flist for aid }

[delga]

In an effort to learn how to cook properly, I am begging recipes of the flist! Simple foods, quick & cheap to make, please. Requirements:

1) Must be vegetarian friendly

2) Cannot be soup because liquid foods are the death of me

3) Nothing with mushrooms, broccoli or beans

Think you can help me out? Please?

In other news, I watched BSG but can't be bothered to talk about it. Suffice to say I liked it better than Black Market and less than Scar. I'm still making GA icons because I found shiny caps and then got all excited about the color balancing tools. Also, is there anyone who can help me with basic pointers on the curves tool? I can't use presets because I have PSP and I've been using curves for night on six months now but I'm still pretty useless. So, anyone?

The parentals just called; have been waiting for them to do so from, like, Thursday. So now home sounds like a good place to be even if they're living in the pokey little flat and the house is being painted. I seriously just had the battiest conversation with my dad. I was trying to ask whether or not they'd actually bought paint and he was telling me that the paint will go on the walls, as if I wouldn't know that anyway. *brainpalm* Seriously, I'm tired, not impaired (although some may beg to differ).

Oh, apparently this post is all about begging of the flist so: rec me one book, one song/artist and/or one fic. Please. (LASS FOREVER!)

I have no veggie-friendly recipes. =( none that I remember anyway.

Song rec though:
The Sunset Marquis (http://www.sendspace.com/file/e4v1km) by Vonda Shepard.
there's a place where we hung out, at The Sunset Marquis // and I miss the way your hand felt, resting on my knee // it was one of the few times I didn't want to change a thing

Book rec: Body Double by Tess Gerritsen. Spooooky. Fic rec...erm... Jealous Guy (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2792587/1/) by marginalia.

*big grin*

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you :)

Oh, I read Jealous Guy when she posted it; not as fluent as she usually writes but still fantastic. I love the way she brings the angst. And I really love the Mac fic she wrote about a year ago; it starts off with A train moves at... Love.

[binglexjells.livejournal.com]

Mmmhmm, I love the angst. And I too read that. Much, much love for the writers in the NY fandom. I love the disjointed, endless sentences, angsty thing, it works so well and makes for some beautiful stories.

Now I must go and finish the 395729582904 unfinished fanfics sitting on my harddrive. Joy!

Okay, I'm an idiot and just saw that you said no mushrooms. Dammit! I'm such a bloody moron. *runs to hide*

[discordia-intus.livejournal.com]

However, if you liked the other ingredients you could make a great bruschetta with the same mixture. :D

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Hee *hugs*

I can try in bell peppers instead, do you reckon?

[discordia-intus.livejournal.com]

You read my mind. I was going to suggest that, but decided on the bread instead. My husband hates bell peppers, so I haven't tried it before but have wanted to. If you do it, let me know how it turns out! <33

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

I think I will - chillies and garlic and mmmmm :)

[discordia-intus.livejournal.com]

I've served the mushy version at a couple of dinner parties and they've gone over famously. The chillies really work well in the mix. I can't take credit for this recipe, it was inspired by a Jamie Oliver episode that I saw and he did something similar and I just modified it for my own tastes lol!

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Hey you, you deleted the recipe! Kinda need it :)

[wliberation.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, can't help you much on the cooking front because the only no-meat dish I can do is vegetable risotto. And that's fairly simple and just... throwing stuff together. Rice and vegetables with a bit of butter, cream and pepper and whatever seasonings you feel like throwing in.

a book
a song
a fic (Okay, so this one I just randomly picked from the Memories. Read this years ago and can't even remember if it was really that good. *g*)

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Hee, awesome. Ty :)

[charmednutter.livejournal.com]

Let's see...rec's...

Well, I love Kristian Leontiou's 'Some Day Soon', and you seemed to like that one song, so I say them :D:P lol
