Super Secret Plan
I was trying to come up with a system for making sure I actually get this done. I kept worrying about getting home from work, and not having any idea what I would make, or having any preparation done at all. So I came up with a system: I’ll have one idea ‘on deck’, that’s what I’m going to do the next day, and four ideas will be warming up. I don’t know if all of the warming up ideas will get used, but the next day’s on deck idea will definitely come from the warming up queue.
On Deck (for Feb 1):
Fried Vegetarian Spring Rolls
I’ve got a little party to attend tomorrow. I have loved egg rolls/spring rolls since I was a kid, and I’ve always wanted to make them, and I never have. Tomorrow this is all going to change. If I can find them (99% likely) I’m going to try to get ‘egg roll’ skins, not ’spring roll’ ones. As Wikipedia and my dining experience tell me, egg rolls are bigger and have more delicious puffiness than spring rolls, and are generally better. The recipe I’m using comes from Savoring Appetizers, which I got at half-priced books. It has a photo of every recipe in the entire book, thusly earning it status as food porn. The plan is to make the rolls, fry one, photograph it, eat it, blog about it, and then fry the rest and go to the party.
On the Hot Plate:
- Drawing some kind of sci-fi/gi-joe/action figure type character. My tastes in generating art don’t tend to fall in this category too often, but it’s on my todo list from my childhood.
- 3D Model of a spaceship that can easily be translated to sheet metal
- CRPG - Can I make an entire lame computer role-playing game on super-bowl sunday? Time will tell….
- Flower Press + Flowers (Saturday hiking expedition? Flowers near Seattle in January? Seems unlikely)
