I made the BEST stuff for dessert last night. It was so good I ended up eating the leftovers for breakfast.

Tropical Rice Pudding

2 C cooked short-grain rice (I used Kokuro rice from our local Asian grocery)
1 mango, diced
1 peach, diced
1 C sliced strawberries
1 C. coconut milk
2 Tbsp maple syrup
a pinch or so each ground cinnamon, ground coriander and ground cardamom (to taste)

Stir the maple syrup into the coconut milk, then mix all ingredients together. Taste. Add a little more maple syrup if you want it sweeter. Eat. :-)

(And yes, theamusedone of course it has coriander in it! ;-D)

Had a wonderful lunch yesterday with brywulf and annezo at Sushi Zanmai. We shared veggie tempura and their fantastic seaweed salad, and I had ebi, tako, unagi, and cucumber roll. Then brywulf couldn't finish her Philly Roll (smoked salmon and cream cheese) so I got to have some of that too. We groused about the fact that none of use are feeling fannishly connected right now and got all nostalgic for our old mailing lists.

In other news, I've been sort of half-assedly keeping track of the latest LJ kerfuffle, and mostly I'm just waiting to see how things shake out. I guess if I had to offer an opinion it would be that 1) LJ/6A is abysmally bad at communication and they should really wait to implement new policies until they have all the ramifications figured out first (also, they should muzzle their staff until they have a single official answer to a question!), and 2) Fandom will face the exact same issues currently inducing all the problems at LJ/6A no matter where it goes, once the perpetually panty-twisted in the world figure out where fandom went and follow them there to cause trouble.

Oh, and GIP! New icon-- a photo of the delicious and beautiful waffle served to my kidunit at breakfast the other day at the Southside Walnut Cafe.

Yum!

If you're ever in the Baltimore area, we should go to The Helmand. It's an Afghani restaurant and they have the best dessert. It's vanilla ice cream with chopped dates, mango and spices (including cardemom). It's yummolicious! (The rest of their food is super, too.)

Ooh, that sounds wonderful!

Love the icon! And I'm glad to hear that the Boulder Cafe has expanded. :)

*sigh* Sushi Zanmai -- yummy! Pie at the Walnut Cafe -- yummy. Next year, I swear...

Yes, they've had an outpost in Table Mesa for a little while now. Next year we'll definitely have to get together!

A waffle with a pentagram on it? Wow.

Although...does the local cafe really want to be serving breakfast with religious symbols on it? *ponders*

I think they probably just think of it as a star, not a pentagram. However, the pagan in me got a kick out of it. :)
