So, it's too warm here for how dark it gets so early, and the leaves are still on the trees so it clearly cannot be deer season yet much less time to worry about holiday presents.  But, weirdly, my brain is in fall baking mode.  :sighs: Brains, man.

Have an old recipe I adapted years ago, originally from The Spice Cookbook by Avanelle Day and Lillie Stuckey, which I highly recommend and can be found in ebook if nothing else.  Also, oh my gods but the buttermilk powder from Bob's Red Mill is the most cost effective thing ever.  One bag cost me about... 2 pints of liquid buttermilk?  It has made a great deal more than that so far and is nowhere near empty.

Hope y'all enjoy!

 Chapter ten is up!  I will finish this damn novel yet!

Chapter ten is here; the entire story (novella at this point) is here if you need to reread from the start.

Now I'm gonna post a recipe I promised and then go back to work on it and hope to finish the damn thing in this next year. (Life, pls to quit throwing things like a new HVAC at me.)

Had colonoscopy last Friday. I'd been dealing with off-and-on post-nasal dripcough, nothing serious, for some time before that. Got home, largely did okay, but by morning I was coughing and miserable and uggh and wound up with a fever. Haven't gone into the doctor's in person but when I did an e-visit and described my symptoms (including things being green that are not supposed to be green I got a prescription for amoxicillin and 'come in for an in-person exam if this doesn't make the symptoms go away'.

So, sinus infection, as far as I can tell.

I am deeply grateful for the fact that my office is WFH on Mondays and Fridays and for the fact that the office is closed tomorrow. I am in that state of recovery where I am no longer feverish and have just enough energy to sit up and do desk stuff and deceive myself into thinking I am in better shape than I actually am. As much as I want to be at the Vets Against Stupid Ass Orange Tin Plated Dictators With Delusions Of Godhood protests tomorrow to back up the veterans, it would not be a good idea for me to push myself that much. I will be sleeping a lot, assuming the cat allows me to do so.

From [personal profile] senmut  via [personal profile] havocthecat  : (I'm posting my guess first, then the AO3 stats answer.)

1. Under what rating do you write most?
Me:  Probably gen.
AO3: Nope, Teen and up.  Oh, yeah, I have plot and fight scenes.  Okay.  (Teen and up:  121.  Gen: 102.  Total fits:  291.)

2. What are your top 3 fandoms?
Me: Oh, Highlander, X-Files, Leverage?
AO3: Mostly right.  Highlander (183), X-Files (52), Highlander movies (30), Forever Knight (23).  I mean, no matter how you look at it, Highlander wins, and then X-Files.  Forever Knight beating Leverage did surprise me.  (Yes, those numbers and 291 seem off.  I write a lot of crossovers.)

3.  What character do you write about the most?
Me:  Um.  Connor MacLeod or Matthew McCormick?
AO3: Sorta.  Original characters: 52, Connor and Duncan are tied at 42.  (After that, it's Methos, Joe Dawson, and Alex Krycek.  Matthew is in 7th place with 26.)

4.  What are the top 3 pairings you've written?
Me:  No *clue*.
AO3:  Duncan MacLeod/Methos (14), Aidan/Duncan/Methos (9), and Duncan/Matthew McCormick (6).  When I say I don't have OTPs, I mean it.  Other than me and plot, and me and Dragon.

5. What are the top 3 additional tags?
Me:
 Crossovers, Crossovers 100, prompt fic (?)
AO3:  I was right! Crossovers:  123.  Crossovers 100:  92.  X-Files Lyric Wheel:  23.  

That was kinda fun.
