on deadline
This is the face of deadline. It’s too scary to show you. But here’s my deadline sweater, covered in clocks. Subtle, right?

note to self
"The creative power which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in. Then one becomes resigned. Determination not to give in, and the sense of an impending shape keep one at it more than anything."
–Virginia Woolf [image error]

Yes, I AM the biscuit queen.
Even simpler if you make them in the food processor. I used this recipe: http://southern.food.com/recipe/southern-buttermilk-biscuits-26110

recipe: salmon, bok choy, carrots, scallions, etc.
I made a ridiculously healthy recipe from this blog. I like her cranky attitude. But of course I had to modify it because I am in revision hell and I am modifying every stupid word of this novel. See? Her attitude is infectious.
My additions–carrots cut into matchstick pieces, a shake of ginger and red pepper flakes, a handful of baby spinach. I figure if you get a chance to add spinach to something, you should. Same goes for shelled edamame.
I also put mine over rice because we went on a giant dog hike and I was ready to gnaw off my own leg.
It’s worth hunting down the special seasoning–a mixture of black sesame seeds, sea salt and seaweed. I found some at Central Market.
This is all wildly healthy–especially since you are smart enough to use wild line-caught salmon–and quick to make. Do it. You’ll thank me.
