So, this is what I've been doing instead of writing.
I was given a bushel of tomatoes and so I made the most amazing chili sauce you've ever tasted. My house smelled so wonderful!
I am definitely feeling the writing bug again, though, and I have my critique group coming over tomorrow night, so I'll definitely be motivated for a word count! How did you do this week?
And if you are interested, here's my recipe.
Super Awesome Super Easy Chili Sauce
24-30 ripe tomatoes--skinned
8 large onions, chopped
3 green peppers, chopped
3 cups vinegar
3 tsp. salt
3 cups sugar
1 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. cinnamon
Boil all together until as thick as desired.

How do you skin a tomato?
Do you use a tool like you'd use with a peach or a potato? Or is there some kind of boiling/blanching technique or other form of kitchen magic?
Sounds very tasty. =)
I just blanch them for five minutes in boiling water, then the skins just come right off.
Excited for the Castle premiere?
Oh! Good! I was hoping you'd post the recipe! thanks.

Just like with human corpses! =O
Very excited for Castle + your write ups. =) We tried out a new show this week, Mysteries of Laura, with Debra Messing. It's a procedural with humor. Not convinced it's a keeper. There are a few others I'm going to try out, too.
Trying to watch Bron/Broen at the moment. I'm almost done with the first ep and it's a little bit hard to determine what's going on. It's a Danish/Swedish production - both languages are spoken, with subtitles! The premise is that a body is arranged on a bridge, exactly across the line of demarcation between Denmark and Sweden (with a disturbing twist) that essentially forces police from both countries to work together on the case.
Interesting enough so far. So many questions!
Ew, that Sweden one sounds so creepy!
I haven't seen any new shows I want to watch, and I'm sort of disappointed with the spoilers coming out for Hawaii Five-O. Sigh. The Blacklist still looks good, but Castle definitely looks the best! Let me know if you find any good ones for sure.
