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*

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 :)
