Top Ten Reasons Knitting is Better than Therapy (by Knitpurlgirl, via my sister Amy's blog)
__________________________________________________________
For the rest of you, a reminder that "Inferno" is available to either download as a pdf or read on-line at BookView Cafe. And here's a small teaser, to get you motivated....
P.B. took one look at the sea of bodies and skirted around them, not wanting to deal with any more
people today than he had to in order to finish off the job. He knew some humans on a social basis, but they
were Talent, magic-users. They could see beyond white fur, black claws, eyes that were cat-slitted and
the color of dried blood. He had no such faith in these human Nulls to do other than scream and point. Or
point weapons. Idiot humans.
Not that the Talent were any better, overall.
Humans were all annoying creatures.
_____________________________________________________________
And, possibly the last recipe until April:
quick and dirty yum
1 pound ground turkey, browned
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb peeled tomatoes, chopped, plus liquid from can
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup red wine
1 t. chili powder (hot!)
fresh cracked black pepper
Throw it all into a dutch oven or stockpot. Simmer for about an hour. Feeds two reasonably hungry people, with salad. With starch, would probably feed three people. Easy to double, easy to improvise around. I hesitate to call this chili, but it was pretty damn good.
And now I am off to do various and sundry things with various and sundry people. Be good, and if you can't be good, at least be original....
