I made bagels yesterday using this recipe (except I altered it a bit: let them rise quite a bit longer, and didn't put in that much salt) and they turned out good! Very chewy and tasty and bagel-y. And they're actually no more work than making bread (at least I didn't think so). The one ingredient I didn't have was malt sugar, so I just used a little molasses and honey (instead of sugar), and it gives them a really nice, subtle, flavorful sweetness. Gonna have to do that again. And next time I'll make more sesame-seed ones, because the plain ones are good, but the sesame ones are divine.

Saw this meme at astridv and frith_in_thorns, thought it sounded fun:

Name a fandom you know (that you think I know too!) and I'll tell you:

1. The first character I first fell in love with
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer
6. The character I would totally smooch hug
7. The character I’d want to be like
8. The character I’d slap
9. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I despise

I altered #6, since fantasy kissing/sexing fictional characters doesn't do anything at all for me, but hugging them? That I could totally imagine. *g* Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think I'm not going to do #6 at all - it's too fourth-wall-breaking for me, for some reason. I'll still do the rest of it, though! :D

Anything I've written is fair game, of course, as well as anything I've watched (or read!) a lot of, now or in the past: i.e. Fringe, Community, Supernatural, Fullmetal Alchemist, Heroes, X-Men, etc.
