Dinner, pre-happening

[desperance]

My office smells ... mostly of caramel.

It's odd, how some smells seem more potent close-to, and others carry further. The kitchen is quite gingery, the hallway is all soy.

For yes, I am cooking Chinese tonight. I have caramelised sugar in oil (which I find bizarrely easier than doing it in water, or just the sugar alone: why is this?) for Chairman Mao's Pork; I have simmered Sweet & Sour Spareribs; I have fried & sauced Three Teacup Chicken. I should go now and prepare Genghis Khan Beef. And other things.

But, I confess, I am a little tired now. And - alas! - not at all hungry.

Also, I have to vacuum.

*sigh*

Genghis Khan beef...

It sounds scrummy and I SO want to see you galloping over the steppes in pursuit of the cattle to make it. I see you with the furry hat and everything.

Oh, yes. Furry hats are us. Even if I have to get a cat to fake it...

I think you've spotted a gap in the market.

A google search brought up pages and pages of cats in hats, hats for cats, The Cat in The Hat, but nothing about cats AS hats (except for an Australian grandmother who - whisper it and don't tell the boys - makes things out of the skins of feral cats).

I'm sure you could demonstrate a much more humane version. Well, humane for the cats. I'm not sure what state their humans would end up in.

Sorry, but I must pause (or should that be paws?) for *Icon Love*!

Thank you! Feel free to steal a copy if you want - most of my icons are from free avatar sites, though I can rarely remember which ones. I fell for the kewt kitty a long time ago :)
