National Caramel Popcorn Day!

Mood:


2 caramel holidays in a row? Crazy!Caramel popcorn's really good, it's one of my fave ways to have caramel. Another is caramel apples. We don't have any caramel popcorn, but we have those rice puff things flavored to taste like it.Guess I'll have some later. 


It's been unusually cold today. It looks like it'll get warmer soon, though.Worked on incorporating that character that I 'forgot' about into the story.She's important, and I hated her at first. But, I guess maybe since I had a chance to develop her, I'm starting to like her character. She's a bit annoying and rude at times. Readers will probably not like her very much.A lot of the main characters had gone off to do something, and she stayed behind. Only I forgot about her when they returned. Kind of silly.I guess some characters can't be lovable.

This is Garbanzos Y Chorizos. Or, Chickpeas and Sausage Stew. I used smoked turkey sausage instead of chorizos. (Since I don't eat pork.) They said you can use any spicy or mild sausage.This is a Spanish recipe. It smelled so good while it was cooking!Tasted awesome, too. It has lots of garlic and paprika as well. 


Yesterday, I looked at our Texas cookbook. Here's some of the recipes: gulf coast fish chowder, cantaloupe and chicken salad, tamale pie, Texas prune bourbon cake, pferffernusse (peppernuts). Looked at our Israeli ones today. Some of recipes: cherry soup, orange pudding, meatball soup with orzo, mint, and dill, garlic lovers' grilled chicken, almond apricot basmati rice, spaghetti with spinach, garlic, and lentils. Really interesting stuff.Tomorrow, I look at our Indian cookbooks. 

Gosick is becoming more and more interesting. Victorica and Kujo go off to investigate the truth behind the ghost story of the ship named Queen Berry. Victorica already figured out most of what the Queen Berry's story was really about on her own. Someone kidnapped a bunch of kids from various nationalities and languages, and threw them on the original Queen Berry alone. People behind it called it 'letting the hares run'. Most of the children killed each other off. Then, later the ship sunk. The ship Victorica and the others are on now is replica of the previous one. It's full of booby traps and cheap hoaxes. One of the passengers goes crazy while they're trying to radio for help, and holds everyone at gunpoint. (In pic.) That's where it cut off. Crazy to leave it at such a cliffhanger. But, good way to keep you watching. 

In Fairy Tail, it was the guild's mages against each other. They were fighting to save the contestants who were petrified. The Guild Master and Natsu still can't pass the barrier. (Funny, since it won't let people over 80 pass. So, Natsu's over 80?) Natsu was able to help bring Erza back to normal. (In pic, he's panicking because he made a tiny crack on her forehead at first.) The only ones left at the end were Natsu, Gajeel (who also can't pass the barrier), the Guild Master, Erza, and Mystagon. Laxus, the one who set this 'game' up, thinks that Erza and Mystagon are the best of the best of the guild. And, gets excited with the idea of fighting them. He made the game to get the Guild Master to make him become the new Master. 


deviantART faves: Bullet Heaven- Beta v2 There's a Fox on the Grid. History of KIKU I did not make these! First, an awesome game by one of the artists I watch. Second, a StupidFox wallpaper parodying Tron. I should look at her other wallpapers, since I like her comic. Third, an interesting comic with Japan from Hetalia representing various phases in Japanese history. I love when people get creative with Hetalia fanart. Makes it even more interesting. 


Youtube:
A Hetalia parody of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki's (The Diary of a Crazed Family) opening theme. I loved Kyouran! I doubt it would happen, but it'd be nice if there was a sequel. So 2 animes that I love together, what's better than that?

Hilarious moment at the Emmy's:

Maru doesn't want anyone touching his toys:

Cool tribute to Kamui from Gintama:

Gosick's opening theme:

Maru looks like he enjoys that tambourine:
