Eastern Influence


C memorizing the process--the opposite of how I cook, which involves constantly referencing recipes on my Mac.


Some of the curry sauce ingredients.


Veggie and chicken stirfry in oil.


Curry sauce simmering..


The final product.. C's Thai chicken curry. It had a nice kick.

XOXO

New Dish on Gossip Girl

A few things:

-I didn't think Georgina's baby bump was real. I am still skeptical that Georgina Sparks would go through with a pregnancy even if it happened. I see see her as feminist enough to enforce her right to choose. Secondly, Dan's baby? She might deliver an heir or heiress, but I doubt she'd be willing to link herself to Henry David Humphrey for the better part of two decades, minimum.

So! I ramble. Hadn't you noticed?

-Serena and Nate are barely mentioned? Sounds like Dan, V, and G are going to share center stage with the Blair/Chuck/other girl storyline. Two love triangles and a boring couple. Meh.

-The musical talent better not be Ke$ha. Even the act of typing her stupid dollar sign name annoys me. Who honestly takes that liberty? Anyway. As far as the guest, I'm thinking it might be Kylie Minogue as a professor or artist. Both new and iconic? Or, you know, given that criteria, it's probably The Pretty Reckless (Grind that cigarette in the dirty pavement with your plastic heel, Taylor, you bad ass!).

-On that note, why is Jenny Humphrey coming back? She's contradicting a direct order from Queen B, and I hope she is humbled upon return. I wanted to like her way back on the steps in Season 1, but she's just unlikable. I hope the writers work some magic on her personality this season.

-And finally, no mention of Rufus or Lily which means I can only hope their tedious relationship either evolves into something more pleasant to watch, or dissolves...into something that will also ultimately be more pleasant to watch.
