grr again with more randomness on the side

That thing I can't talk about till July? It's now bothersome in a not-so-good way, unlike earlier when I wanted to share because I was happy about it.

Bah.

On the good side of things, thanks to mugglegirl0908, I now will be notified if it's your birthday (and LJ knows it), which means I have much, much less excuse for actually missing them now. If I do, you have permission to whack me upside the head with a rolled up digital newspaper.

And another piece of randomness: I have a mosquito bite. Am not happy about it. It's three days old and still itches like the dickens, although at least it isn't so swollen as to make the muscles underneath hurt. Small blessings and all that. (Benadryl didn't do squat for the swelling, either. Double bah.)

But, I'm really enjoying the exchange pieces so far, even if it is making me feel vastly inferior. Yay talented authors and artists!

I suppose I should go to bed now. Hopefully I'll be able to get to sleep despite my sleep-in and nap.

( Oh, but before I go, a quick review... )

Next Greek feast I think I'll make the chicken and lemon soup and creamy chicken pie and possibly the dolmas to go with.  But that might not be for a bit.  Mexican food season is starting to heat up, and I have the pina colada mix (and rum) or tequila (and really, do I need the margarita mix?) to go with it.

Any favorite Mexican, TexMex or New Mexican dishes you care to share?  I already know I need to try the Spoonbread thing that is one of my mum's favorites, but side dishes besides rice and beans are always appreciated.  And if you have a good tamale recipe, PLEASE do share.  I do so love good tamales.  Not so much chili rellenos, though.  Too much cheese.  Ick.

Damn, now I'm hungry again.  =)  Off I go to snag a snack.

Heh. There must be a bunch of real weirdos out there.

I wonder how they rate writing style and relativity. I'm not saying I necessarily disagree with the results, but I am curious.
