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, [livejournal.com profile] theamusedone of course it has coriander in it! ;-D)

Had a wonderful lunch yesterday with [livejournal.com profile] brywulf and [livejournal.com profile] annezo at Sushi Zanmai. We shared veggie tempura and their fantastic seaweed salad, and I had ebi, tako, unagi, and cucumber roll. Then [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Thanks to the lovely and talented [livejournal.com profile] aukestrel who made some caps for me, I now have a Nim icon! Yay! And here it is:
Nim icon

Yeah, yeah, I know, all of 3 people on my flist have a clue what I'm yammering on about. :) To explain, Nim is a CGI critter from the NBC series, Surface. Which apparently almost no one else on LJ watches. But he's such a cute little fish-cat-lizard-thing! And he and Miles have a Special Bond. (Not THAT kind of special bond, geez. Get your minds outta the gutter.I know mine is usually there too, but underage slash bestiality isn't really my thing...)

In the series, he belongs to a mysterious new species of critter which mature to the size of a whale and have strange electromagnetic properties and are generally causing havoc in the ocean. Nim's just a baby one who's been hand-raised by a teenage boy (the 'Miles' mentioned above.)

Oh, and since I'm here anyway, a meme: Read more... )
