Pig and Fruit!

Today is a day of Pig and Fruit! And Velvet Pants!

To clarify: This morning I made a sausage-and-apple tart for brunch. Then I dumped some pork chops and dried fruit into the slow cooker and have been roasting the lot all day. So, pig and fruit. If only we had some prosciutto-wrapped pears to go with it...ah, well.

Since we are also snowed in, it is definitely a day for velvet pants. And for getting some work done -- sent off the requested tweaks for "The Welsh Squadron" to Strange Horizons (I kept getting details wrong about what planes the Luftwaffe was using), and finished Chapter 1 of the new novel. It probably doesn't quite have enough of a hook yet...but those are second-draft thoughts! Purge them from your mind, [livejournal.com profile] stealthmuffin!

I am also very, very glad that [livejournal.com profile] thomascantor did not have to go out in the snow this morning and drive to Natick.

Yeah but see how much you know already?
I'll have to arrange to bribe you with baked chocolate pudding or cocoa a spoon'll stand up in and hear about what you're working on now :-) Good luck!

Word. Glad you had a puttering inside day.

Pig and fruit and velvet pants!
Doo-daaah! Doo-daaaah!


I got that pretty much instantaneously from your first line. I needed to share.

This will now be running through my head all day. Thank you.

Just be grateful I didn't follow up with the second stanza.
