Food and story

[tsaiko]

miome and I went to one of the local farmer's markets today where we cleaned out their bruised tomato stash. This place usually has a box full of fruit that got bruises or is slightly damaged in transit, so they are half off. Seven pounds of tomatoes for $7. Miome then cut these up, added some white wine and bullion, and is letting them cook down in the crockpot right now. Tomorrow we shall have delicious marinara sauce.

Also, I'm working on the Desert Marriage story again. I've added some notes, wrote a bit of what will probably become a side story (which is currently tacked onto the end and will get moved to a separate document as soon as I have enough of it to justify one), and decided that I didn't like how it was starting in the middle of things. So I'm backing up a few scenes and am going to write the build-up to Osmond actually getting kidnapped. Might even back up even more in the story and write Amenan going through the ritual at the temple and talking about the kidnapping. I think that'll set up the whole story better.

Right now it looks like crud because of this, but I'll clean it up when I get what I need to done. Also added a line at the top with the date of when it was last updated since I realize Google Docs doesn't automatically tell people this information.

I think I'm also going to include an email in case people stumble across it and want to contact me.

I desperately want to write Nankah's story. I will remain strong and wait until I've got Osmond and Amenan's done. Or mostly done. Because really, I have the willpower of an eggplant.
