 | 10:15 pm - I hate it when my kitchen is full of food but there is nothing to eat...
Yesterday I baked some pork steaks and served them with my South Carolina Mustard BBQ sauce. That worked well. Today I made fried teriyaki tofu for dinner. Not my finest accomplishment, but it was edible. Went Ok with my 100% rye beer bread I made yesterday.
For future reference 100% rye bread doesn't rise, even with baking powder (I knew it didn't have enough gluten for yeast rising). When I was mixing it up it didn't look right and I thought about adding some wheat flour, but I knew that I would always wonder if it would have worked with just the rye. For some reason the rye bread has a "glutinous" mouth feel.
Marilyn came over after book group and watched 4 episodes of Revolution, wherein people continue to do stupid things for stupid reasons.
Grimm was renewed for another season, which is good because I like Grimm, and they ended on a cliff hanger.

...are now an option for me.
The shiny new tram line opened today, and I have tested it. Both There, and Back Again. I have confirmed my pre-existing opinion that it is not going to entice me away from the bus for my daily commute -- but that I am going to be exceedingly happy to use it for various leisure activities. In theory it's a quicker trip into the city centre, but in practice it's a less frequent service than the bus, which largely negates the speed advantage. And I never have to stand on the bus even in rush hour, which happy situation is not likely to pertain on the tram. But there are outings which until today involved going on the bus into the city centre, and then taking the tram back out again, and which will now involve taking the tram halfway into the city centre, and changing to a different tram back out again. And thus we will be able to cut a significant chunk of time off the journey.
Alas, Tram! has only come about after some friends who were on the other side of the city have moved away. I never actually visited them there, because by the time I got into the city centre and back out again, it was a fairly long trek, in spite of them being only a few minutes walk from a stop on one of the other tram lines.

I like this meme!
I currently have 48 works archived at the AO3. I am going to sort them by a method that I will not tell you. Pick a number from 1 to 48, and I’ll tell you three things I currently like about the fic corresponding to the number you have picked.
