Rejoice! Today I blew the cobwebs from my River Cafe cookbook and made something. It was good - fennel, chillies and anchovies with taglietelle and rocket although I used ricotta whey cheese rather than ricotta salata, which is hard and dry. So it was creamier than intended, but still very tasty and best of all (apart from the cheese) all the ingredients were freely available in the small market town of Reading.   

Tonight I'm having a mini anime fest because its been piling up on my desk and giving me hard stares for weeks and months. Lined up to sample I have: Get Backers, Samurai Seven, X, Hellsing and Saint Seiya. By the way, cygny - thanks so much for the rest of Kyou Kara Maou, it got here a last week and I've been wanting to spend some quality time with those strange g-string wearing Germans ever since.

Oooh, episode one of Samurai Seven is subtitled Slash!  That's what I like to see, no messin'.

Happy St Wombat's day to all who celebrate.

Wow, that's quite a collection. I can rec Samurai Seven as awesome and Get Backers as quite astonishingly cracktastic. The others I haven't seen yet. I may have to fix this, if they are good. Review after seeing?

Also, yay, cooking. I can't wait until I have a kitchen again. Dorms are nice and all, but I like being able to make my own food.

I'll defintely let you know what they're like. Get Backers is cute and Samurai 7 is amazing, although I've only seen two eps of each.

Here's to you getting a kitchen at some point in the future - how long have you got left living in dorms?

Two more years. Though next year a few friends will have apartments I can invade when I get the itch to cook.

I second that one. Where else are you going to find rabid koalas? Where, I ask you?

I still got a few episodes of Get Backers which I'll have to watch soon as well :) As for the rest, wait with Saint Seiya, because it's old and badly subbed and I don't think that especially this first part of the series can quite match up to the rest :P
And glad you received, was already starting to worry that the postman would be sending it back again ;) Have fun!
