Shore Leave & Recipes
Jul. 9th, 2007 09:00 pmI just got news that my last-minute Who panel for Shore Leave has been shifted from filling space on Friday night to a prime slot in the Saturday schedule. This is wonderful for several reasons - it spares me a drive (I'm commuting to the con; even at the price of gas it's cheaper and the hotel staff were just egregious last year) and it means that the contentious (and therefore bubbling) "Morality in Doctor Who" topic will really get to shine. The Doctor has set himself up as the moral arbitrar of not just what aliens do to Earth, but what humans do to each other (Torchwood, Harriet Jones) etc. Does he have that right? And does Mr. "No second chances" always make the morally correct choice himself?
We're going to have plenty to sink our teeth into even with only S1 & 2 of new Who to work from.
I also tried to invent a recipe tonight, but it's missing... something. It was a salmon/pasta salad:
Tricolor pasta
salmon
corn and peas
parsley (rather too much)
grilled asparagus
Tossed in garlic butter with a dash of parmesan cheese & topped with pine nuts and just a few capers.
It lacks something, or has too much something else, but I haven't figured out what.
On the other hand, I swung by the organic market today. They have flavored baked tofu - I wanted it for future bentos - but it also turns out that they have dark chocolate ice cream. Am now resisting the temptation to hork down the entire pint in a single sitting.
