Hmm. With regards to the phone poll, I guess it shall be a fanfic-reading. I'll probably read part of First Light and part of one of the parody fics.
I wish I could bloody finish one of the dozen or so fics currently in limbo on my computer. INTERNET, you destroy my life.
Anyway! Phone update tonight, hopefully.
In other news, I cooked my first ever lasagne on Saturday. Don't look at me like that. I cook tons of stuff, but lasagne has always baffled me (sauce first? Sheets first? what goes on top? OMG IS THIS RIGHT?)
In the end, my lasagne was eclectic at best. Ingredients included a dash of tabasco, courgettes, mushrooms and...er...okra. The okra made it taste so good. The family were all, "what is that gorgeous taste?" and I'm all, thank Asda for its Indian food section. Hardly Italian cuisine, but then there's debate over whether the British in fact invented lasagne, so I'll stand by it.
I also discovered the ultimate oxymoron yesterday, courtesy of Mary. BRITISH WINE.
*Gags*

Lovely stuff. Distinctive taste, and healthy, too.
Will try out both recipes!

Also recommended: FRIED okra. Truly, if you're going to be bad and eat fried food, this is the thing to eat.

And also the way they make it at PETUNIAS in New Orleans...

Also, the poll? GREEDY PEOPLE GET SPORKED. :p
Also, some of the lines in that haiku I sent you have six syllables. WOE.

Then you should have put radio buttons instead of check marks. Gee, I thought it would be obvious. :p
Who's counting? Not I.

Radio buttons...? Anna, it took me twenty minutes to find the poll button, let alone fabulous buttons.
I counted. It gave me something to do at work. >:)

GUESS WHAT, BECKY. I've lost the weight I put on around Christmas. Go me! (Still need to lose more, though.)
no subject
Um... the scales told me I'd actually lost weight since then, but the scales are about as trustworthy as Fox News.
Anyhoo! Yes. Back on. If it goes as well as last time, then I'll be fitting into that gorgeous skirt I bought in the January sales. Huzzah, etc.
You lost your weight despite peppermint creams and such? OMG, u suck. ;)
no subject
Whoo! Skirt! I haven't made peppermint creams for months, actually. :p I've lost the weight on a diet I like to call Chocolate and Toast... I think it's the exercise that actually did the work. ;)
