Wikipedia, you have failed me. There's a fair amount of material on refeeding, but a lot of it is quite technical and has a different emphasis than what I'm looking for. I'm less concerned about the biochemistry of electrolyte imbalance in recovering anorexics than I am about what the half-starved superassassin can eat that won't make him sick ( Read more... ) -

"In a world of espionage, intrigue, sinister conspiracies, and strange powers, a legendary soldier (who looks really good in his tactical catsuit, btw) must take down a fancy superweapon. His allies include a tough red-haired woman and a really nice guy who's new to the franchise and fills a sort of quasi-Love Interest role in the narrative. The ( Read more... ) -

Recipe!
This is a little involved, since it’s scratch baking, but you don’t need to cream shortening, sift flour, beat eggs, or remember to take the butter out of the refrigerator hours before you want to bake, and it’s fairly flexible. It makes a rather dense, brownielike cake, not a light fluffy one, and it isn't too sweet.

Of everything I've ever been fannish about, it's Cap 2 that I want to actually write for (as opposed to just putting expies of the characters into my current origfic project.) Not sure if I will, since I don't have the characters' voices down that well, but I have ideas ( Read more... ) -

The funny thing is, if you're unfamiliar with the character, the Captain America movies sound like they ought to be full of gung-ho patriotic explosions. And yeah, there's explosions and Nazi-punching and all, but Steve Rogers is also a big woobie dork. -

Thor is not a particularly good movie, in the artistic sense, but it is an awesome movie. If you see the distinction.
And now I'm wondering what a character-building transdimensional field trip for Loki would have to involve for Loki to actually learn any Important Life Lessons from the whole business. -

I'm attempting to make rose liqueur. Unfortunately, the roses in our yard aren't fragrant enough to flavor anything on their own, so I'm mostly infusing them to see if I can extract any color and because a rose liqueur should contain actual rose somewhere. I think most of the flavor is going to come from rose water ( Read more... ) -

Since the MCU seems to have most pop culture things in common with our world (at least according to Steve's list in Cap 2), I'm pretty sure that A., Games Workshop exists in that world, and B., it's chock full of Hydra moles. (Well, maybe not chock full, if they need to put their operatives in positions of more political or military import. But ( Read more... ) -

I wonder if MCU Steve/Tony would be half as popular if the pairing didn't have a big comicsverse following. Because the movies themselves seem to be putting more energy into Science Bros and Steve/Bucky (and Steve/Sam in Cap 2).
