- 21:26:37: Sounds like @TomFelton's Draco Malfoy may end up Crab AND Goyle-less at this rate!

9:00p | Wrisomifu...day 27 I love black Friday! I get up late, well late enough. I woke up at 10:30 and was to awake to try to go back to sleep. Then I laze around. Kids pretty much do what they want, and I don't cook a damned thing. (unless you count nukin left-overs as cooking) I think I even ended up taking a nap for an hour or so. Great kinda day in my book. Is my cat the only one that chirps? I have never heard a cat chirp before we got this one. She hears the Pounce shake or open, and she is all chirps and merorows. Noisy thing. (She's a fat thing too, lol) I got a reply from the IM. She still refuses to even meet me at the airport. But, the shuttle might not be as bad as I first thought. It is one you book your seat in a head of time. She could have saved me quite a bit of worry had she simply given me all the information, but she still seems to think that the longer the emails are the move evil they are. I might just have to mention that, most likely won't though. At this point I doubt it would do any good. It's really sad, the turn this relationship has taken. Date night tomorrow. Going to see 2012, have no idea where we are going to eat. Jeff is doing the "I don't care." thing...I hate that. Hugs to all! Current Mood:  bored |

11:53p | Wrisomifu...day 26 Well, I found out today all roasting pans are not equal. Got the bird out of it's bath, got him rinsed and dried. And then came the time to put him in the pan. I didn't buy a throw away roaster this year, because I had gotten a roasting pan the year before, and never imagined that it wouldn't be big enough...turns out, I sdhould have. LOL The damned bird would not fit. So, this causes a trip to walmart...on a holiday. Jeff was convinced we wouldn't make it out of there for 2 hours, and was bitching all the way there. Why he insisted on coming I have no idea, it's not like I haven't been driving for, oh something like 17 years. As for the pan, we got lucky! Last roasting pan they had. We decided on getting a real roaster, and not a throw away because we plan on being the Holiday destination when we make it back home. In the end, my bird turned out perfect. Juicy, delish, and perfectly cooked all the way through. (I also ended up getting a digital thermometer that goes off when you reach a certain temp, instead of time. I highly recomend this if you are planing on baking lots of meats. I plan on putting it to lots of use. Rib roast, here I come!) I have pictures of my bird. I am just too lazy to find the cord to my phone as well as doing what you have to do to the pics to make them posting friendly. Might do that tomorrow. For all that went wrong in the beginning, dinner was only an hour late. Not bad, in my oppinion. I hope everyone else had a wonderful day, whether you celebrate or not. I am very thankful for each and everyone of you. You all have helped keep me sane, by giving me a wonderful way to get away from life. *Great Big Hugs* to you all! Current Mood:  sleepy |

9:24a | I'm so thankful.... If you've commented on a post.... If you've left a drive-by-hug... If you've read and enjoyed a fic I've written... If you commented on the fic... If you've stood by me in the good and bad... If you've shared your life with me... If you've laughed or groaned at my insanity... If you've written for or enjoyed fics at my little H/D community slythindor100If I've been lucky enough to have met you at a fandom event... Fandom is a funny place. We laugh with each other. We cry at each others sorrows and cheer the victories...large and small. And sometimes we hurt each others feelings. I hope I've never done that...but I'm human and I make mistakes. If you're ever in the Chicago area - let me know...I'd love to meet every single one of you. Today and everyday....  My turkey is in the roaster, stuffed and happy, I have 3 dozen freshly baked yeast rolls, a coffee cake, pecan pie all done. The pumpkin pie is in the oven and the broccoli casserole is about to be made. Next it's the pretzel salad and then I can sit down with a cup of coffee and read the paper. I hope you all have a lovely day. ♥♥ Current Mood:  content |

10:04p | Wrisomifu...day 25 Thanksgiving menu: Turkey - Brined waiting for it's 30 min prep before going into the oven at 11 am. Mac n Cheese - Ready to go into the oven Dressing - Ready to go into the oven Sweet Potatoes - Ready to go in the oven Green beans - Will be done on the stove while everything else is in the oven Mashed Potatoes - Will be done on the stove while everything else is in the oven Stove Top - Will be done on the stove after everything else is done Biscuits - Done in the oven after the Bird and everything else Cranberry Can shaped Jelly - will be cut up by someone who can stand the smell...namely NOT me. :) Pumpkin Pie - Baked and ready to serve (this may be my favorite thing, cause it's done. LOL) Getting up at 10 am just so I can hurry and get done. I haven't been able to stand long today, and Jeff and I both think that the level of my tummy has dropped somewhat as well. So, I'm not pushing it. Things will get done as they get done. I'm not worried about it. Plus, I have a teen I can house-elferize, and have her put stuff in the oven. :D I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! And for those that are across the pond and don't celebrate, I hope you have a great day! *hugs* Current Mood:  blah |

1:52a | The Rec Post Of DOOM, Part 2 hd_career_fair may be over but I've still got some excellent recs to make. These fics are so varied from one another that there's something to everyone's liking. My only wish is that Harry and Draco would continue having diverse and imaginative careers outside this fest. After all the fun and unusual scenarios I'm not sure I'm ready to go back to the compulsory, more than plentiful Auror!fics quite yet. :D ♥ Little Red Courgette (H/D, PG, WC: ~31,000) featuring Cartoonist!Harry and Assistant Junior Under-Secretary in the Office for the Volumetric Standardisation of Edible Wizarding Greengrocery Produce!Draco by blamebrampton, art by raitalaSummary: When this season’s purple courgettes are woefully thin, Draco Malfoy thinks it amounts to small beans. Next thing he knows, the Department of Standards is over-run with leeks, Brussels sprouts all sorts of legislative difficulties, and somebody appears to have put a roquette under Harry Potter. Can Draco seize a marrow victory? Or will his plans for peas be squashed? Draco smiled slightly; he knew the feeling. Of course, he was partially responsible for the dark circles beneath the Minister's eyes these days. His last report, all four-hundred-and-twelve pages of it, had been a detailed summary of the desirable diameters of lettuce varieties, from hearting to non-hearting. Shacklebolt had read it, too, as the three red circles around mis-spelled words proved. ♥ Blood and Brimstone (H/D, NC-17, WC: ~42,000) featuring Inquisitor!Harry and Prodigal!Draco by calanthe_fics (Set in Ginn Hale’s Wicked Gentlemen universe)Summary: The Inquisition claims it reforms and cleanses Prodigals of their demonic heritage, but Captain Harry Potter learns that the Church has lost its way and is worse by far than the devils in Hells Below. Harry thought that if more angels looked as compelling and dangerous as Draco he'd have worked a lot harder at praying over the years. ♥ Silhouettes in Sunsets (H/D, PG-13, WC: ~23,000) featuring Day-time Accountant/Night-time Luthier!Draco and Owner of Hedwig's Owl Emporium!Harry by potteresque_ireSummary: Draco Malfoy is a Gringotts accountant by day and a luthier by night. Harry Potter is the owner of Hedwig’s Owl Emporium on Diagon Alley. Music and scheming owls will bring the two men back together. It will be a long night. Draco has never worked on a harp before -- how can a heart so open, so candid need so many strings to speak? Harry's reasoning is simple: because it's talking to you. ♥ Normal Does It (H/D, NC-17, WC: ~26,400) featuring Captain!Harry and Druidic Warrior!Draco by lotus_lizzy, art by cydienneSummary: On his deathbed, Lucius gives Draco an almost impossible task that will hopefully salvage the reputation of the Malfoy family. Draco finds himself in need of a magical ship called the Wave-Sweeper, but finds one Harry Potter standing in his way. This "new" Harry Potter, with his strange obsession to be "normal", assigns himself the task of being Draco's watchdog. Together, with a motley crew of Hogwarts alumni, they fly both sea and air following an ancient map that leads them to an unknown island and strange creatures, but both Harry and Draco are harbouring secrets that threaten the tenuous relationship that grows between them. 'Ron's not lying. Voldemort's body is really gone. My father thinks the Unspeakables stole the body to run tests on his skin. His body secreted a natural sun block, keeping his body free from melanoma.' ♥ Wrong Side of Dead (H/D, R, WC: ~30,000) featuring Scout!Harry and Model Member of the Force!Draco by sirra_scribbles (A Zombie Apocalypse!)Summary: "Zombies reached out their grey-green fingers stained purple and red at the tips, their mouths open in groans." "Unscrew the fuel tank cap, here." Draco dropped one end of tubing into the green tank. "Now start siphoning." "What?" Harry sceptically eyed the tube in Draco's hand and the petrol tank. "Get down and start sucking." His eyes widened and a faint flush came to his cheeks. "Beg pardon?" That was queer, Draco thought as he felt his own face warm. "You poofter. Now you have the job of lifting the moped." ♥ Light as Iron, Singed as Pearl (H/D, NC-17, WC: ~13,800) featuring Commissioner!Harry and Club Owner!Draco by snegurochka_leeSummary: The owner of the elite BDSM club M had not gained his reputation as the most coveted Dominant on the scene by taking on just any riff-raff submissive who asked. It would take an unexpected letter to convince him to accept a new client, but it might turn out to be the biggest mistake he ever made. Quick as lightning, Draco's hand shot out and he curled his index finger under Potter's chin, his thumb digging into the side of his face. He squared his shoulders and shifted his voice, making his new persona plain. "What did you say to me?" he said quietly. He held back a grin of triumph when Potter crumbled. Casting his eyes down, his shoulders curved and his arms fell limp. Draco stared. Remarkable. After a heated pause, Potter took a shuddering breath and murmured, "Not here." "You don't decide that." Draco shifted his hand so that his thumb slid over Potter's lips. Despite himself, Potter parted them and swiped his tongue up the pad of Draco's thumb, a flash of heat creeping up his face. With his own blood rising, Draco threw caution to the wind and leaned in close to Potter's ear. "I decide what happens here. If I want to bend you over this desk right this second and fuck that grin off your face, that's my decision, not yours." Potter whimpered. ♥ Scratching the Itch (H/D, NC-17, WC: ~10,000) featuring Model!Harry and Model Agency Owner!Draco by tray_la_laSummary: Draco Malfoy is a homophobe who's allergic to gay men. He's also the owner of a male modeling agency. Go figure. Harry Potter is a model for hire who may just prove to be the cure to Draco's ails. Draco rolled his eyes. Fucking Paris. He’d been to Paris: everyone wore black and nobody gave a damn. |

7:55a | Really? I just got this email...and I'm pretty...Loss for words does not begin to describe it. I will not be picking you up from the airport. There is an airport shuttle which I have used many times myself and I trust that a lot more than I trust myself negotiating driving in and around LAX. I tried it once and did not do at all well. So, just because she can't navigate a parking lot, she is going to leave me at an airport I have never been to, at 34 weeks pregnant, alone to struggle to get to somewhere else I have never been, using a fucking shuttle? Really, if there was a way, I'd make sure any future potential Surro would know exactly how this...person has treated me. Gawd, I wish there was a way. Current Mood:  pissed off |

4:33p | Wrisomifu...day 24 Wow! Looky, it's no where near midnight. :D I actually accomplished some stuff today. :D My dressing is in it's pan, all those wonderful flavors mingling. YUM!!!! And my mac n cheese is also in it's pan, ready to be shoved into the oven on thursday. :D I'm not sure I've talked about my stuffing before, and I'm too lazy to go back and check. If so, please ignore this post. :D I'm not a fan of celery, never have been, never will be. The vile veggie is up there with...well it's not quiet on the same level as lima beans, but it's close. So, I have been searching for an alternative for years to replace it in my dressing. A few years ago, I found the solution. I have no idea which food network person I was watching, but someone put fruit in their stuffing, I believe it was apples she used. I don't like cooked apples, either, but the idea was a good one, so this is what I came up with. 1 loaf of King Hawiian Bread - cut into half inch cubes sprinkled with olive oil, salt, pepper, ground sage, and ground thyme. Heat for 2 hours in a 225 oven. 1 carrot - small diced 1 1/2 onion - small diced 3/4 of a bag of cherry flavored dried cranberries. (yes, I know I said I don't like cranberries, but these don't taste like cranberries, they taste like cherries, so...) enough chicken stock to make stuffing squishy. (Love that technical term, squishy?) Gound Sage Ground Thyme salt and pepper Melt butter in a skillet, on a low heat. Add veggies and cranberries, and sweat until onions are translucent. add spices, herbs, and stir. Combine veggie mix and bread in a large mixing bowl, then slowly add stock until you have reached prefered squishiness. Put in baking dish, bake on 350 until top is golden brown and dish is completely heated through. Enjoy! Current Mood:  anxious |

7:00a | Wrisomifu...day 23 So, I couldn't seem to get IJ to let me do much of anything yesterday. I couldn't read posts and I couldn't get my own journal to open to post either. So, I'm going to post yesterdays while I can. I didn't get any of my Thanksgiving day prep done yesterday. Will have to make up for that today. Well, I can't seem to think of anything to talk about. oh well. |
