I had so much fun! I stopped baking years ago because it was a pain the in the ass, and I didn't want to gain weight, and every time I gave people food for the holidays they whined about their weight, and I got tired of it. But I enjoyed it *so much*! I'd forgotten how meditative it is and how much I just love baking. I'm going to take any leftovers to the bank, post office, fire station, etc after the holidays. :)

I hope everyone reading this has a fantastic week full of joy and cheer, and plenty of delicious things to eat.

*love*

I keep meaning to post, but then I think of something else to do. I've been distracted and a little down lately, but NO MORE. It's finally December, and I'm excited about the holidays. I'm not sure, why, exactly, but I'm going with it. :)

1) Tree! We decided to have xmas at our house this year, with my dad and some friends maybe, which means I get to have a tree! We haven't had one in about three years and I love them, so I'm excited about that. We get an ornament of some sort every time we travel together, and then we have a lot of literature or geek-based ones as well. And I love decorating the tree - even if we do always argue about the lights.

2) Decorations! Since we're having the holiday at my house, I get to get out my wedding china and fancy linens and stuff I never ever use. Yay! I'm not much for actual holiday decor, but the cards from people on the window, and stockings by the fireplace, and random mistletoe for smooches makes the house feel festive to me.

3) Food! I get to make xmas eve dinner, which is the fancy one. And also breakfast. I'm thinking beef wellington, salad with tangerines, maple butternut squash, and persimmon cake with rum sauce. And then asparagus and ham strata with fruit salad. And then either lasagna or veg soup for during the day, when friends come by. G is having board games and I'm marathoning LOTR.

4) COOKIES! OMG, so you know that comic thing with the Avengers drinks? I decided I needed to do cookies for them. Here's what I came up with, but your suggestions are welcome:

Iron Man/Tony Stark - rum balls, duh. I wonder if I could make them with scotch...

Captain America/Steve Rogers - I wanted something wholesome and all-American, so I decided on peanut butter blossoms. They're secretly giggly though because we call them nipple cookies, and he'd be scandalized.

Thor - cocoa candy cane cookies. My personal favorite, and somehow peppermint says Norse god to me. Also, I know he's got a sweet tooth.

Hulk/Bruce Banner - This one was the hardest, because both are so different. Grasshopper bars since they're green, for the Hulk? Or the sunflower coconut vaguely hippy ones for yoga-loving Bruce? I'm still undecided.

Hawkeye/Clint Barton- molasses snaps. I don't know why, that just seems like a perfect fit to me.

Black Widow/Natasha Romanova - Russian teacakes/snowballs. Another Duh.

Fury - cherry bombs

Coulson - loaves of gingerbread. Which tickles me endlessly because they're not cookies, they're different from the rest, they look boring and innocuous. BUT they are the best by far, secretly so spicy, and utterly delicious. :)

I feel like I shouldn't leave Loki out... maybe the grasshopper bars for him?

Have just realised that all three of these guys were born in 1981/82:

weird...

So, I was talking to a friend about the gorgeousness that is Tom Hardy, and since I was in my scrapbook anyway, I decided to spam you with pictures of his lovely face...

1)from telesilla :

If you were asked to pick one scene, one shot, one detail, one moment of some kind out of all the things I've made and say "This, this, for whatever reason, I remember, this is something that struck home with me, that I wanted to keep," what would it be?

2)I am taking no responsibility for this I was just minding my own business, chatting with ladykatiewench, and typoed "grocery stores" as "grocery stories."

And then Arthur/Eames vegetable romance happened.

It's been that kind of day.

So, I have this thing where I look at a picture of naked porny pretty boys and think "hey, that could be/is the some body type as Sexy Celebrity Who Makes Me Guh."

I've been going through my collection of pretties (TM - credit to nverland) and looking for ones who make me think of Arthur and Eames, becuase well, why not? It's a fun way to spend my free time. :)

Anyway, I can't find any who leap out at me except this one, originally from ladykatiewench:



Anyone have any suggestions from your collections? And yes, I have some of JGL and TH semi/totally nude - but I want PORN. :)

There are a few things I have to get off my chest...

If you read this, you may hate me forever. But I'm willing to take the risk.

My screensaver today reminded me of how fucking gorgeous this man is:



GUH

Yay for Leverage being back! Shirtless Hardison = ♥.

Yay for Supernatural being back! HOtness all over. :) I love MOTW episodes.

I'm a wee bit less than thrilled about the rumors for Season 6. I think if an author has a 5-season story, they should be allowed to end it when the story is over, rather than drag it on and on and on and on and on and on and on until everyone involved wants to kill themselves. But then, they *did* get shortchanged in season 3, so I don't know. If they ended the series in 11 episodes, I think it would feel rushed. So maybe a 6th season will be ok. (Hi, I'm conflicted. Nice to meet you.)

Plus, we haven't seen much of Sam lately. I mena, I love Dean - possibly more than Sam, even - but we've not been getting to see much of Sam's humanity since Ruby 1.0 showed up. I miss the Sam who made me wibble as much as Dean does. I want to see him become human again. Find redemption.

And more Castiel would be sweet. ;)

- 12 hours of driving is way too many. Like, 7 hours too many, at least.

- The CA desert is hot and dry but not sandy, which makes me think it should not be called a desert, but something else. Desert = Sahara sandy.

- Mom's surgery went well and she's recovering great so far. We'll be back at her home in BFE tomrorow, and probably back to mine by the weekend.

- So very dehydrated. Like, seriously, 3 liters of water per day and I woke up with a nosebleed.

- Sam is HOT again. Like, OMG-woobie-puppy, throw-him-on-the-bed-and-comfort-fuck-him HOT. Yum. :)
