Snapshots from a November weekend

- Waiting for the bus Friday morning, listening to music on my podling. The bus pulls up, and I can already tell that it's packed. I get on, and I realize that it really is packed -- with first-graders. Lots of them. Two or three classes' worth. All of whom are so very, very excited to be on the bus

These are all happy things indeed.

I think we are going to make a sausage-apple-onion pie tonight. Actually several wee ones: a few to eat for dinner, and others to freeze for Days To Come. \o/

So tasty! And may they be well in Days To Come.

The podling immediately begins to play "Yakety Sax."

Win.

"The Guilt Child" and "Ignis Fatuus" both start to take shape under the revisions.

I know neither of these stories, but the titles make me want to read them.

Oddly enough, I'm probably going to tinker with both titles; "Fool's Fire" seems more appropriate for the second, and while I like "The Guilt Child," no one in the writers' group liked that title. Both are pretty close to completion, though, so I'll be sending them out to gather rejections sometime this month.

My first association with "Fool's Fire" is Julie Taymor, but I like "The Guilt Child" sight unread.

May they have better results than that!

Oooh that pie sounds wonderful... is there a recipe to share?

[stealthmuffin]

It's a sigerson original, so she might have it -- if not, I can copypaste into a comment. Pretty much sausage (sweet and hot, browned), apple, onion, celery, tossed with flour and spices, baked into a pastry. OM NOM NOM.
