Fic Recs

Quick fic recs:

The Order of Setting 4432 (see the comments) always brings the best crack: this time it's a more-or-less worksafe OT3 titled We'll Be In Our Bunk and the equally warped A Little More Sonic.

sensiblecat has been doing a nice series of post-Doomsday email exchanges between the Doctor and Rose. I quite like this post-Gridlock one. Aside from the part of my brain that goes "spuh" at the idea of the Doctor using emoticons (and Ten just might!) I think this handles everybody in character and does well in dealing with The Oncoming Extinction aspect of the Doctor. (If you're avoiding T&C right now, this is a non-wanky don't miss.)

nostalgia_lj has a drabble that as far as I'm concerned is canon with The New Girl. Language warning.

For old schoolers, there's katuah's view of a companion changeover when Leela notices an abandoned room in the TARDIS in Remnants on sarahjane_fic and if you're a fan of the mighty SJ, why are you not on this comm already?

Something interesting involving the Cliche Challenge has started on lifeonmartha called "Nothing But Flowers," but I'm holding judgement until it finishes; considering the rating, I can't finish reading it until after work.

Recipes

My first shot at Can Cassarole (can of chicpeas, can of mushrooms, can of cream of chicken soup...) is... okay, but nothing to get excited about. It needs something, possibly onion soup mix to jazz it up. (It is otherwise pasta, half a poached chicken breast, the aforementioned cans, and a fistful of frozen broccoli/corn/red peppers).

However, the winner du jour is an adaptation of an adaptation ( that I'm dubbing Sweet Rice. )

Next time, I'm going to try this with barley and pretend it's actually health food.


*The original recipe is medieval, and was translated as apple moyle. The closest and easiest way of approximating Medieval Blend Spice (she's the one on the end in the wimple who sang descants in Latin) - 2 parts cinnamon to 1 part clove, 1 part ginger, and 1 part nutmeg - is pumpkin pie spice.

My review for Happy Hour at Casa Dracula is up on Reviewing the Evidence.
