I have barely been online for the better part of a year. I haven't read LJ in nearly as long, and manage perhaps a few hours to peek at Facebook during the week. I don't know what's happening in non-local friends' lives. My Christmas cards are still in their packaging. I am so hopelessly behind on email correspondence that I don't know where or ( Read more... )

Yay! My fellow Olympic junkie is back on-line!!

You'll have to teach me how to make hollandaise sauce and mayonnaise some time.

Both are remarkably easy, if somewhat time consuming. (I limit myself to eating only half the pot of hollandaise sauce per meal, though -- at 1/4 cup of butter in that serving, it's enough to give even me pause.)

And speaking of Olympics, it's time to find my costume embroidery and head to the living room ...

I would not have been at all surprised to hear about the bobsledders first, but I'm glad to hear about the rest as well.

With the number of times I nearly abandoned that entry midway ... yeah, I wouldn't have been surprised if I'd ended up with the bobsledders either. Must break myself of now-ingrained habits.

And you may still have Bob Costas, but we've lost CBC Olympic coverage. It's now on CTV. I'm afraid ... very, very afraid.

Yea Olympics!

And my folks are really annoyed by the lack of CBC coverage...they don't get CTV on air in Essex apparently -- and don't get cable -- so they'll have to watch American coverage.

NBC is better than nothing, I suppose. :)

I'll say this for CTV: at least they got Brian Williams. I don't know what I'd have done without him.

Maybe. :) I'm still plowing my way through very major rewrites, so it'll be half a year at least before I think of letting anyone else see it -- probably more. But I'll make a note to drop you a line closer to the time.

And thanks!

Welcome back to LJ, Karina!

Hollandaise is fun. I have a microwave recipe from Madame Jehane Benoit that woks perfectly, 75% of the time.

Microwave hollandaise?! Sacrilege! ;) I think I'll stick to my recipe ... 100% success rate is too good to mess with.
