That was an interesting day

So, today I sorted all my winter coats to the back of the closet and changed out my Fall/Winter stained glass for my Spring/Summer stained glass, because Michigan has clearly decided that we are having a good and proper spring.

I decided on four things to cook, to exert control in my environment, and made the first, which is my personal variation on yakiniku. This is basically to drown the meat in mirin and soy overnight and then pan fry it until tender and caramelized. Works like a charm every time. Serve over rice, scatter with green onions, and mow down.

I also found out my car's battery is dead (no surprise, it's been going for a while) and therefore walked down to the post boxes, bareheaded in intermittent rain, which was really quite lovely.

And then I wrote some more WangXian. It started out as porn, turned into an Important Talk, and then LWJ apparently decided that the way to get this story back on track was to re-invent tantric sex. *baffled hand gestures* Shine on you crazy diamond, LWJ. I'm just along for the ride, at this point.
