mmmm cookies

[cali]

I made over 150 christmas cookies today. All of them spiced spritz cookies (you know the kind that you put in a cookie gun or press or whatever you want to call it.) Next on the list: lemon sugar cookies, plain sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies, chocolate covered cherries, regular russian tea cakes, and orange-coconut tea cakes, and unspiced spritz cookies. This is going to be a long week.

My mom was looking through her recipe book and found a recipe she had cut out of the San Francisco chronicle the day I was born. She went into labor around 8 in the morning and waited around the hospital until she could have a cesarean around 1. She's never made the recipe (some variation of gingerbread.) What I'm wondering though is when on earth she had time to you know, read the newspaper and rip out a recipe while she was in labor. wtf. (for the record she doesn't remember either.)

ashlle1 was asking about downloading Stargate SG-1 the other day and I ended up uploading the pilot episode and another of my favorite eps from the first season. I've only just started watching SG-1 (damn you SGA and your sinkhole tendencies!) so I have a lot to catch up on. I don't know if any of you guys are thinking about getting into it but you can find some pretty solid torrents of each season in 80mb/episode packets over here. Here are the two episodes I shared with ashlle1 in case anyone else wants them:

[ Stargate SG1 - 101 - Children Of The Gods ] -- avi, 156mb - double episode

[ Stargate SG1 - 118 - Tin Man ] -- avi, 80mb

Completely unrelated to the Stargate fandom. The other day I read a Harry/Draco post-Half Blood Prince story called Sweet by lydiabennet and it left me craving new Harry Potter stories. Surely there have been some decent length post HBP stories written by now, Harry/Draco or Harry/Snape, any recs?

I'm tempted by SG-1 but there are a lot of episodes to catch up on.

Here are some HP recs that I haven't added to my site yet:

http://www.livejournal.com/community/merry_smutmas/85674.html? Boxing Day by ??? Harry/Draco. After the war is won and the world is made anew, Harry Potter finds he doesn't understand this one nearly as well as the old. Brilliantly done.

http://www.livejournal.com/community/merry_smutmas/88710.html? The Fourth Year by ??? Harry/Snape. “The days were hard enough to pass with the aid of chores. He could clean. He could cook. He could pretend that he was somehow still vital to some future plan. His life would never be his own, granted, but there was a possibility he could still contribute. Until then, he would maintain. He would master the (sadly) domestic spheres available to him. He would wait. He would scrub. He would stew.” Post HBP. Long, plotty, lovely.

http://www.livejournal.com/community/merry_smutmas/96463.html Sea Change by ??? Ron/Draco. A perfectly paced, beautifully written post HBP fic. I love stories that let me like Draco.

http://www.livejournal.com/community/theloveboat/50964.html Castaways by Cruisedirector Harry, Snape. Harry finds his onetime teacher and present colleague performing an unfamiliar ritual. It's a unique look at penance and the search for forgiveness.

I've got the entire first five or so seasons in ASF format. Albeit, they're crap quality (about 20 meg), but they're watchable.

I'm just catching up on SG1 myself and I'm so in love with it, it hurts. And the pilot! I was just itching to see the pilot again too, and while I'm thisclose to buying all 8 seasons, I need to wait until after the holidays, so this is perfect. And Tin Man! LOVE.

Want to share a cookie recipe with me? I don't care which one, they all sound really good and I'm dying to make some myself!

Well, what else are you supposed to do when you're in labor? I walked around and kinda whimpered, read books, talked to my folks and husband. it's boring.

Wow and your mum and cookie recipe story.

I've just got back into SG1 myself. A lot of people are doing that. The thing is, it was the SGA people that restart the Jack O'Neil love. Oh RDA, how I wish you'd come back.

Thanks! I'm downloading the SG1 eps.
