Chef....You published a cookbook in 2000 "Holiday Food". Have made 90% of the recipes over the years. But please verify that in your Canoli recipe on pg 45 you only use 3 tablespoons Limoncello. Can't be right! Works with 6-8 but never 3. Love the book!

Okay, you have GOT to stop with the “I never liked Neil Gaiman! He was always a bad writer!” bullshit. You didn’t buy that many books of a writer you think sucked, okay? That’s not a value judgement against you. But we HAVE TO KILL the idea that good art is a reflection of virtue. Mario Batali’s food was undeniably excellent. His food, and his restaurants, and his writing about food, and his damn TV show are a big party of the reason I cook Italian now. He was unquestionably a monster. Those facts are not contradictory. You’re not a dumbass for liking Neil Gaiman’s stuff and wearing an obnoxious ankh pendant, okay? He had us all fooled.

Flowers: Hibiscus

I put hibiscus flower in every cup of tea I have. It's sweet, sexy, and cleansing.

Vintage Dr.Suess books I've never seen before, a book by a bad man, hockey, a doll I don't care for, that's not a dove, royals merch, and a new old stock massage table I actually got.

"Ma, pusti me da vodim ljubav sa svojim željama."

Zavrti mi se u glavi, na ravnom izgubim ravnotežu, pa ponovo vraćam kontrolu tako što ih probodem oštricom.. ruke mi ne krvare, ne tresu se, sigurne u to što rade. Da li iko sme da zna kako ih vraćam u život, kad ne gledaju, kako ih spajam sa svojim telom, kako je sve u meni budno tada, kako im se prepuštam? A uplašilo bi te da znaš, kako im se samo prepuštam.

Ja bih te, u svoju odbranu, smesta spustila sa tog neba na koje si se zaputio, odsečno ti rekavši da one nemaju veze s tobom! One su moje predstave o tebi, ti to možeš biti.. i ne moraš.

U mojoj glavi si velik, ali ja mogu i da te smanjim, uništim, zgazim. Ne izazivaj me. Prepuštam se njima, ne i tebi. One su te koje mi ubrzavaju disanje, puls, čine krv koja mi struji venama vrelijom. Izvini, ali previše je varnica ugašeno u tuđim grudima, da bih te tek tako pustila blizu, meni ne treba neko koga moja vatra greje, neko ko od nje pozajmljuje i ostaje hladan. Meni treba neko ko će sa mnom u njoj da izgori, pa se sutra sa mnom ponovo rodi. Ako smeš i ako umeš da za mene budeš Feniks, ja ću biti i tvoj plamen i tvoj pepeo. 

Toliko kol'ko sam ja slaba, umeš li ti da budeš jak?

Niko do sad to nije umeo, a lepo sam rekla i hiljadu puta ću ponoviti, trebaju mi ili jači saborci ili veštiji neprijatelji, pa izvoli i izaberi. Za polovinu nisam zainteresovana i nije mi potrebna; hvala terapeutkinji na savetu da nije sve crno/belo, ali odgovorila sam i pri tome ostajem: ako nije to, ja ne bih ništa. 

I zato ti sve ovo krijem, napravim korak, pa se povučem, a ti se ne pomeraš za sad, i to me plaši. Plaši me i oduševljava u isto vreme, loži, uzbuđuje, mogućnost da si jači, još jači od onoga kakvim mogu da te zamislim. Ja ipak blefiram, a ti podižeš ulog, ne trepćeš. Iza pokerface koji ti slažem, drhtim od sve izvesnijeg ishoda da pobeđuješ, svesna da te ne puštam.. da je tvoja moć nada mnom stvarna i da sam u isto vreme sve sigurnija da neće biti destruktivna. 

Ako uz tebe vrtoglavica prestaje, a ceo život niko ne zna koliko se plašim da sam balon koji lako odleti, ako ga ne zadrže na Zemlji... Ako skidam i odeću i kožu, ako ispuštam dah i prelivam se u tebe, kao reka u more. Ako mi bodlje otpadnu, a ostanu latice. Ako sve to preživim i dozvolim, ako na kraju pustim iluziju da sam se uopšte i pitala, ako nisam više onako bahata i ohola kao kad sam rekla sve ono s početka; izvini, ja se tako razmećem da ne pomisle slučajno da sam slaba... 

U tom slučaju možda ti i priznam, jednom, da si mi se ostvario i dao mi nešto više, da si pobedio moje želje i da zbog toga zaslužuješ mesto, ne na tronu, ni na dnu, već mesto ovde. Pored mene.

My favourite wfa episode is where Bruce leaves his comm channel open. I am sure he is not the only one to do this, so any other shenanigans of the batfam leaving comms on when they really shouldn't?

Bruce: *turns on his comms*

Dick: Are you a terabyte of data? 'Cause you've been taking up my whole memory.

Barbara: *giggles*

Bruce: *switches channels*

Steph: Can you hold my drink while I check the perimeter again?

Cass: Sure.

Cass:

Cass: *sluuuurp—*

Bruce: *switch*

Tim: Relax, babe. My family's all on different missions and Alfred's flying to England in the morning. You should come over. Bart and Cassie are bringing food, Cissie's inviting a bunch of her friends, and Kon's putting on fireworks. It's gonna be the greatest party ever.

Bruce: *switch*

Damian: Shh, just stay under my cape until I give you the signal.

Damian's cape: Woof!

Bruce: *switch*

Jason: Roymeo, Roymeo, wherefore art thou Roymeo.

Roy: Motherfucker I'm right here!

Jason: This is why we're in couples therapy!

Bruce: *switch*

Kate: Who's a good bike? You are, yes you are—

Bruce: *switch*

Luke: Gordon Ramsay says pineapple doesn't belong on pizza.

Bette: I've talked to an Italian and they said it was okay, and Italians beat celebrity chef.

Helena: Well I raise you both a Mario Batali.

Harper: This is also Rock, Paper, Scissors to me.

Bruce: *switch*

Duke: PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME, PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME—

Bruce: *switch*

Bruce: Alfred, I've decided on a career change.

Dirty Girls

So the conclusion I've come to is... in my own fanfic writing projects, I sometimes have works that I know are very good and are received well. And there are some that I know just stink, and the lower interaction reflects it. It's pretty comforting to know that for professional writers, the same thing is true.

Jane Espenson, for instance, beloved by Spuffies everywhere for being our man on the inside, ALSO co-wrote "Gingerbread," my least favorite ep ever.

Douglas Petrie is, in my opinion, absolutely an undercover Spuffy, or at least understood the assignment well enough to fake it. And I love him for being the first to write Wesley, for breaking Bangel up one of the times in S3, for writing "Fool for Love," for strengthening Spike's character in every ep that included him.

And David Fury... look, I know he gets a lot of flack, but I think he doesn't actually hate Spike as much as it seems. Looking at his list of episodes and the messages I know to be in them, I think he's just VERY pro-soul, and can't wrap his head around a vampire being good without one. But once Spike does get his soul... well, we need look no further than "Showtime."

But really, let's all bow down to Rebecca Rand Kirshner. For "Out of My Mind." For "Tabula Rasa." For "Help." For "Touched." For some of the sweetest Spuffy moments in all her other eps.

A little teaser for my upcoming fic 😊

I had some amazing art made by the incredibly talented @sweetperversiongirl who made the image in my head come to life.

Ian followed Mickey down the short hallway, admiring the strong back and pert ass covered in blue denim. They entered the bedroom, and Mickey turned to toss the black bundle at Ian, hitting him fair in the chest. “What’s this?” “While you were being all Mario Batali and playing chef, thinking with your wallet and your stomach, I was thinking with my dick, and grabbed these.” Ian shook out the bundle, unrolling a pair of leather chaps. He flipped them over in his hands to confirm�� yep… assless leather chaps.
