Comfort food....

Since it's been a not-very-comforting week this week I've been thinking about comfort food. I just mailed off the kheer recipie to another LJ user who's a caramom freak like me. This weekend Ben the Neighbor and I are thinking about curry since he has chicken and I have, well, everything else:) I just finished a peanut butter bagel for breakfast. I have soba noodles and beef brothe..dinner? I wanna make soup some more since it's cheap and good and can feed me for days and days until I get paid again...


What do you crave when you need a little extra soothing? Do you cook? Order pizza? What do you cook? (Go ahead and throw in recipies if you like.) Not everyone can snort wasabi powder like me:) (ohhh, okay, only if you really want to...)

Stolen from Corachaos...

Settle in keeds, got a story for ya...

FAIRY TALE

nce upon a time there has a young INSANE PAINTER named CECIL. He was DANGEROUSLY SMOOTCH in the FUNNY forest when he met BIG SMEDLY, a run-away SANITATION ENGINEER from the GLAMOUROUS Queen DORIS.

CECIL could see that BIG SMEDLY was hungry so he reached into his OIL DRUM and give him his FURRY LAMB KEBOB. BIG SMEDLY was thankful for CECIL's LAMB KEBOB, so he told CECIL a very SHINY story about Queen DORIS's daughter MAUDE. How her mother, the GLAMOUROUS Queen DORIS, kept her locked away in a MOORISH TOWER protected by a gigantic LUNGFISH, because MAUDE was so BLUE.

CECIL POGOED. He vowed to BIG SMEDLY the SANITATION ENGINEER that he would save the BLUE MAUDE. He would RUN the LUNGFISH, and take MAUDE far away from her eveil mother, the GLAMOUROUS Queen DORIS, and BOOGIES her.

Then, all of the sudden, there was a GLITTERY TSUMANI and BIG SMEDLY the SANITATION ENGINEER began to laugh. With a puff of smoke he turned into the gigantic LUNGFISH from his story. GLAMOUROUS Queen DORIS FAINTED out from behind a GARLIC PRESS and struck CECIL dead. In the far off MOORISH TOWER you could hear a KABOOM!.

THE END.

One small table zen-box later....

I feel very pleased with the result. And I always feel better about things in general when I'm creating something that wasn't there before.

I have to admit, sometimes I feel a little like Devi from "I feel sick" by Jhonen Vasquez. Especially if I'm feeling bluesy about not really being in a relationship right now. When things are good, I hum little happy tunes and make something interesting; get the image out of my head and where other people can see it. Or I do a custom job for someone, and it's as good or better than their expectations. A piece of experience and vision translated into the physical realm, to be handled and passed on and to gain new dimensions of experience and history with or without me.

When things are bad, I have my art for comfort. or to comfort others, to show them that life isn't all dull and hopeless, that mysteries and wit and joy have a place in an increasingly drab and structured landscape.

I have paint under my fingernails again today.

and a smudge on my elbow
