Star Trek Soup Group: my own version of potato soup [started with caramelized onions and garlic, no dairy, a bit of bacon, half potatoes were boiled and pureed, other half were baked then added at the last minute, dry sherry!] and Mudd's Women

Speaking of Mudd's Women -- this is one of those episodes I clearly and vividly remembered. Why? The chicks are so hot. I want to be the girl in the green dress and I want to own the lavender dress. And I remember Tom always saying it was one of his favorite episodes, therefore it was one of mine. Ah, the logic of the child.

ANYWAY: fandom tropes! Venus drug a la something that makes the three women completely irresistible to the men. The Venus drug also made the women more visually appealing. It apparently worked on both genders as even Uhura seemed to be effected. No Yeoman Rand, I wonder if she was recovering from the sexual assault? No Chekov. When does our favorite Russian join the crew? In the end, the women could make themselves beautiful with the power of their mind and the men on the mining planet decided it was better to have a wife that could do shit than to have a trophy wife.

ETA I forgot to mention the computer that functioned as a lie detector.




Caught up with SoA last night. JFC JFC JFC JFC

I banged out about 400 words of Juice/Chibs right after the episode. JFC JFC JFC

And then there was the Vampire Diaries. AGAIN JFC JFC. Can the real Katherine come back? Please? Pretty pretty please? Also, GOOD GOD BONNIE please let my theory be right and you're playing that mofo because otherwise? I don't think I can handle it.

Also:

Dear CW,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, loins, and all other naughty regions of my body for you picking such a gorgeous amazing cast. GAH!!!!




Re: teen wolf fic:

Remember, when you don't write the fandom OTP -- you don't get the hits. Or the kudos. Or the comments. Or anything really other than the satisfaction of having written down the story that was driving you nuts.

Remember this. Remember this. Remember this.

Why do I never want to write the fandom OTP?

Why are my favorite fandoms the ones where I'm pretty much the only one there?




Tonight: Skyfall with Julie

Saturday: more mowing up of leaves + fancy wine expo!! [must figure out what to wear to be dressy, pretty, and WARM]

Sunday: weights, cleaning, and cooking of the soup.




I think I've figured out why my ears won't stop itching!

I think the ear drops have dried the skin so badly on the inside of my ears that it's itching like dry skin/eczema because when I put some Udder Cream in there it stops itching for a few hours at a time.




Training my mom went OK. We'll see how long this goes on. I wore my personal trainer shirt and said,

"This is my forty dollar and hour shirt."

I don't think she got the hint.

*g*

I'm uncertain how the contract goes with FX but I do know Sutter had planned for 7 seasons all along.

If this were season 6, I could see how all the threads will lead up to a hell of a finale and then have everything unroll in the last season.

BUT THIS IS SEASON 5 -- JFC I don't think I can honestly handle two more seasons of this.

DEATH TO CLAY

I was thinking the SAME THING about the seasons. I'm afraid to know what else he has planned if he's already putting us through this much emotional turmoil.

Seriously, fucking Clay, man. GOD I HATE HIM SO MUCH.

Hey, have you noticed that Chibs is looking extra fine this season?

HAVE I NOTICED?

I've hardly been able to think about anything else. I don't know how he got so much hotter, but he did.

And Jesus, yes, Clay has to die -- hopefully slowly and in great pain

That soup again sounds delicious, yet not at all rich. Yum!

My friend is in S2 of SOA and totally hooked. I totally spoiled her for the kidnapping, thinking that was S2, but she's gonna get there soon Anyway at this rate :).

I read ... two dozen[ ? maybe more] potato soup recipes and they all called for cream or milk or butter and just no.

Fried up a pack of bacon, drained nearly all the grease out, then browned the onions/garlic in that. I stripped all the fat off the bacon and chopped it into crumbles/bits -- added on tablespoon of bits to the soup, left the rest for garnish [I actually didn't use the garnish except on soup night, because who needs that much bacon?]

So yeah, I think for a potato soup it was *extremely* lean and tasted like it was full fat ;-)

Oh man, your friend has got a rough --totally fucking amazing -- road to ride !!
