The only fool here is me

I have mentioned that I hate the wind, yes? Because I do. Like, mortal enemy hatred. Why do I live on the black land prairie again? 45 mph gusts, steady wind of 25 mph. 8 miles today, and I'm worn the hell out from being beaten around by that dastardly wind. And I don't know how it manages it, but I left the house in one direction, came back in another, and was STILL facing the wind. What?? Ocean breezes? Mountain zephyr? I'm good with those. Swirling, abusive, leaf-filled, bird-knocking, shirt blowing up type winds are on my black list.

I'm sure I looked the fool stomping about with a snot-covered face, grimacing at the four miles left to go. :|

In happy news, though, I am going for proper Dim Sum this afternoon with an old friend that I let go by the wayside. (Old timers here: my $60 candle/Type-A friend.) Then there will be shopping for supplies at the Asian Market (I need proper jasmine rice, white soy, miso powder, etc. etc.) Spring weather makes me want light Malaysian/Thai/Japanese foods all the live long day. Mmmm, like that sweet vinegar cucumber salad stuff with little bits of crab and shrimp? MMMMMM I love sunomono! Or hijiki with carrots. OM NOM NOM I love you food, get in mah belleh!

I'm going to make that chai spice cake for Zombie Jesus Day this weekend, I think. I may not celebrate the worship of the second zombie risen (hahahaha, I'm so blasphemous) but I sure like all the trappings like chocolates, devilled eggs, and spring treats in buffet form. Okay, I need to shower and untangle my hair. Yeesh.

when i was nine, i spent most of that year in the hospital. i was in at Standford ovver Easter. my dad felt very bad for me, as my step-dad refused to buy chocolate for me, because i wasn't there to find it (you now, egg hunt sort of thing? we only got the candy we could find, so we "worked" for and "earned" our treats). and my dad is a VERY VERY atheist. and so was the head nurse. and they both read a lot of sci-fi and horror. the collaborated on making me an Easter celebration.
so, for like 7 years (until i was 16 and decided it wasn't cool anymore) every year we did "Rise of the Zombie God" instead of Easter - my dad would melt chocolate and remake it as "zombie candy", using some sort of white cream to make it (supposedly anyway) look like rotting flesh and all. pissed my mother off to no end :p i thought it was just us, my very weird family. good to know we aren't alone

on a totally other note - i told my sister about your Chai cake, and she is very interested and i am interested in her interest because i can't bake but i REALLY wanted to try it, so is it ok if i share the recipe with her?

Why would I mind if you shared someone else's recipe? I just linked to it, it's not *my* recipe. Go to town!
