Musings About Baijiu

She is a wonderful cook who offered up the traditional 14 dishes. I can't remember them all so I won't list them, but they were good. There's this whole list of requirements for the 14 requisite dishes that I need to look up since I

Writing Update 07 Feb

Also, my hubby helped me name the female lead of my latest novella. Some might think, "Just pick a name," but it's not that simple. I have to make sure not to repeat a name I'm already using (I have several books started). I also have to choose a name that sounds/feels right

Big Game Follow-up

I'm not a football fan. I'm one of the however-many-percent of TV viewers who watches the biggest football game of the year for the commercials. Yup. I'm one of those. :P

Review
I love Jason Statham. I'll watch any movie he's in... well for the most part. I never saw In the Name of the King, but that's another story for another time.

Let's first note that I have never seen the original

Contests Countdown Box

I've added a box to the blog called "Contests Countdown". Don't you just love widgets? They are the new "it" thing to do. And they come in so handy.

These last few months I have entered ERIS into quite a few contests. So many that I forgot I had entered one or two until I checked my mail to see just how many I had entered.

All the streets are drenched with melting snow that will re-freeze tonight thus making a lovely sheet of ice beneath the snow we're supposed to get tomorrow. Fun. Fun.
