Will Write For Chocolate

Will Write For Chocolate has been updated. The page on the Offpanel site is still full of errors and I'm not sure why; the OffPanel people haven't responded. As nice as they are, they seem to be pretty distracted -- I haven't had replies to any of my e-mails for the past 6 months or so, so am making plans to move my comic to my own server.



Above: my dinner last night. I've been eating out a lot this past week and had a craving for a home-cooked meal but wanted one with minimum prep time. So I dropped by the local grocery store and found a small package of pre-sliced salmon for $2 (I wasn't looking for pre-sliced, but it gave me the idea for a stir-fry), and bought some asparagus to go with it. It made a quick stir-fry and I served it with white rice. I purposely opted for no seasoning.



I also picked up a healthy-ish dessert while at the grocery store: fresh lychees (above) and figs (below):



And because I always try to pick up something new that I've never tried before, I also bought a single pluot:



I had never heard of this fruit before, but apparently it was developed in the late 20th century and is a cross hybrid of plum and apricot. It was good; the taste and texture reminded me more of a plum than an apricot. I have to wonder about the name, though. Did the creators hope a word like "pluot" would catch on?

I went to see Hairspray again yesterday. I liked it even more this second time around and y'know, I didn't mind John Travolta quite as much, and even got teary-eyed during the rooftop and march scenes (to Ryan C.: stop making faces!), a scene which only made me cringe the first time I saw it. I think I might have to see this movie at least one more time before it leaves the theaters. There were only four people in the theatre last night, so I suspect it won't be around for much longer.

I also saw the trailer for Elizabeth: The Golden Age again...I am so SO looking forward to seeing this after enjoying the first movie so much.

For those of you who haven't yet seen it, here's the trailer for Elizabeth: The Golden Age...
