Will Write For Chocolate updated



Will Write For Chocolate has been updated.

I don't think I've mentioned lately how much I love Scrivener so here I go: I LOVE SCRIVENER. Scriptwriting (for my graphic novel project) is super-easy, and you can customize the formatting. Sadly, it's only available for Mac only right now. I don't feel at ALL guilty, though, because SO often I come across cool-sounding apps that I get all excited about but then find out aren't available for Mac people.

Here are the answers to yesterday's Game Identification Challenge:

I think I must have played at least half a dozen games of Bananagrams this past weekend. It's short and quick, plus can be played by two people. Some luck, some skill, and can be played by kids as well as adults.

Musicstuff / cookingstuff:



Finished writing two songs this past weekend. Time was of the essence since Urban Tapestry is singing both of them in concert at FilKONtario early next month! Allison and Jodi are coming over tomorrow for an all-day practice. We're also hoping to put together a homemade CD of songs for donation to the Interfilk auction, but it will depend on how it all comes together during the session.

I'm making Beef and Chickpea Curry With Spinach from the The Healthy Slow Cooker by Judith Finlayson. Slow cooker meals are great for this sort of get-together; I can just dump the ingredients in during the morning, focus on the music practice in the afternoon, and everything will be ready by dinnertime!

Tonight I'm making Thai-Style Coconut Fish Curry from the same cookbook above. I use Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook by Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann more frequently but Finalyson's gourmet recipes lean toward unusual combinations of ingredients and that appeals to me sometimes, making the additional prep worth it.

And now I'm hungry.
