death breath

[incandescens]

Overslept shamefully this morning. Would feel more shamed if sleep had not been so delightful. In possible connection to this, am not actually ahead on work/(writing), but then again, am not behind on it either, so things more or less under control.

Found that amiable stirfry can be produced with beef, courgette, onion, some shiitake mushrooms, a small chunk of yellow pepper, a clove of garlic (chopped, not crushed), and a tablespoon or so of dark soy sauce (aka slosh it in and cross fingers). Then again, have not seen anyone else this evening, so cannot be entirely certain whether or not my breath would kill vampires dead at ten paces.

Friends coming round for supper/anime tomorrow. I intend to palm off quantities of vegetables on them.

Delay

The radiance of the star that leans on me
Was shining years ago. The light that now
Glitters up there my eyes may never see,
And so the time lag teases me with how

Love that loves now may not reach me until
Its first desire is spent. The star's impulse
Must wait for eyes to claim it beautiful
And love arrived may find us somewhere else.

Hmmmm... I wonder. Swap in potato for the meat, for the vegetarian version?
Mmmm.

I'm guessing that stir-frying potatoes might not be the best idea. Tofu would be the traditional substitute though?

Potato could probably be used to provide an acceptable veggy fryup along the lines of bubble and squeak, but would mean the whole dish was rather short on protein. Tofu would be more traditional for a stirfry substitute, yes.

Death breath from just one teensy clove of garlic? I scoff! ;)

It was a big clove of garlic? :)
