Top Chef: Texas, the recap is live! (I'm so amused that they went to Highland Park. Lovely racist, snobby community there. Better not show any Mexican-Americans enjoying the food there - maybe because none of the chefs can do the food justice? IDK, but I'm bothered.)
But some of that food was redonk, and I wanted to nom it.
Okay, yoga, and maybe some writing. I am just burned out, I think. (Almost 130K last month, not including LJ. THAT IS A LOT. I think I used all of the words up. =/)

I read a bit of the recap and since I LOVE cilantro, I think you might have inherited the "cilantro tastes like soap" gene. :-( Meanwhile I'll be making pasteles next weekend with the family using like, the super version of cilantro which looks like long leaves and is pronounced sort of like kulantro but I don't know the actual name of it, only that you can smell it from five feet away, it's that strong.
(omg 130K. That's amazing.)
I TOTALLY have that gene, and even wrote that it tastes like soap in my recap, hahaha. I can tolerate small portions, but a big handful of fresh cilantro and I'm out of there.
(Gah. We'll see if I have anything to show for it outside of HDJM. THIS FIC IS KILLING ME.)
That gene must suck. :-( I'm tetchy about some foods and there are some things that can make me outright ill (mayo forever) but I'd be hosed if I couldn't enjoy cilantro since it's used in Puerto Rican cooking all the damn time. I already get side eyes for my hatred of avocado.
(At least it's turning into words! And you will have people giddy at so many words omg. Meanwhile I am experiencing the most evil of writer's block so I'm happy for anyone to get to write. I write out like, a single word and think I'm a hack. Blegh.)
Houston is STILL pissed about being left off.
No mayo for you, got it. It's used here in almost everything, too, it's very common in Mexican food (and Tex-Mex by that degree) but I'm always hyper aware of it. Or I pick a bunch of it out. BUT. It's necessary in salsa. Ay yi, I loved Puerto Rico when I went. NOM NOM the food. WAIT YOU HATE AVOCADO? Okay, we balance each other out, then. :)
(But I am hating my words and they feel so CLUNKY to me bah. What is your block? Do you need me to tell you lovely things about your fics to inspire you? I am really good for that. *G*)
I do love the Christmas holidays since I count it as TIME FOR THE FOOD OF MY PEOPLES. We make awesome pasteles too and we couldn't make them last year so I am so excited. Everyone in my family loves avocado. I am the rebel loner.
UGH my block. I don't even KNOW. I can think of cute ideas but I try to write them on paper or go to my computer and it's like my brain fizzes out.
I've never written a kink meme prompt but someone had a great one about a fail!lap dance and look, my serious OTP for Blaine is Blaine/Fumbling About Stuff in Particular Kurt so I was like, YES, this is a great idea, wrote barely 300 words and can't write any more even though I want to. It's so sad.
I can't write any long fic at the moment either because I need to finish the finale of my NYC 'verse and when I try working on other things, I get so guilty that I can't even let any new ideas happen. It is baaaaaaad.
I just begged on my lj for drabble prompts to attempt to kickstart something in my head.
Do you want a second set of eyes to poke and prod? I'd be happy to, if you wanted, and no worries if not. (And I NEVER write long fic. Like, once. And it was 25,000. This is out of control - I mean, it's being beta'd by FM, so it's not sloppy, she'd beat me up, but still. I've never done this before. And Now I'm all blocked up, too.)
Drabble prompts, I missed that part. (And Fumbling Blaine is my CRACK. There's not enough of it.)
