So yes, tis Friday once more, and I have approximately 200 questionnaire results to input, sporadic bursts of randomness to cheer me on through the afternoon are welcomed

Music request - I've recently sent Beats Antique's 'Contraption Vol' one and 'the Trunk Archives' to people who are not bellydancers but do like glitchy music (Ok, Oly and John) and they have gone down well. I would recommend for data entry.
Random - I think I have a secret admirer. Whoever they are they're sending me Moleskine products in the post, so I can't complain.
and also - as discussed at length yesterday, it has been decreed that the only tomato acceptable in a risotto is a sun dried one.
Possibly a slow-roasted one might work too, just a step juicier than sun-dried. However I hate raw tomatoes and plum tomatoes are for sauces not risottos in my book.
Raw to me they taste like blood, well iron, and the texture is slimey and ookey and they taint almost all ready made sandwiches and salads, like sludge bombs. yuck!
I have a limited-ish repertoire and it's not unknown for mine to be almost as much veg as rice especially when I make my springlike one (broad beans, peas, spinach if I have it, or asparagus if it's the right time of year and courgette, plus lemon zest for extra zing), I make a squash one with or without bacon type stuff, and the last one I did had Jerusalem Artichokes and ham and was rather good. I love parmesan as much as the next woman, but I do need there to be other flavours so risotto milanese doesn't much appeal to me.
I lack the energy for an anonymous comment! But, what am I up to ... well, in theory I am working on a piece for an anthology, and in an hour or two I'm going to trek around the city trying to sell stuff to second-hand bookshops. And fortuneandglory is visiting this evening! Hooray!
Thank mystery dater, I think the not polluting or potentially polluting friendships makes a lot of sense. I suppose I'd be interested in how you went about writing your profile/filtering people out and so on. It's all a mystery to me!
I used OKCupid. I'd browsed the site a bit and seen what I liked/disliked in other people's profiles. Sometimes I'd see something about, say, a band I liked in someone else's profile and it would remind me to write something else about what I liked. I also found that putting up an obscured photo and having a username lessened my fear that people would find it and laugh, but I don't think that people would, really. Your journal entries are always well written so I think you could probably put a good profile together

I am very picky when it comes to risotto.
