Everything should taste this good

Heat up your frying pan and put in plenty of olive oil and a little butter. When the butter is melted and it all looks nice and sizzley add one big clove of garlic, diced finely. Let that fry for a short time and don’t forget to smell it.

Then add a bunch of mushrooms, cut in diagonals with the stalks left on.

Add rosemary, you don’t need loads.

Fry until the mushrooms are nice and soft, add more olive oil if you need to.

Serve on buttered toast with a cup of tea.

Fatigue and vigor

I sat in starbucks toady with chapter 4 in front of me. Already started, planed in rough. I got up and left, warm tea tasted, enjoyed, unfinished, Powerfully Metaphorical.

I think I’m starting to get fatigued. I’m basically not thinking about anything else and haven’t done for the last few weeks. Even when I’m doing other things I’m thinking about it.

I think I might write and submit something to theescapist.com. Yes, the Yahtzee one. They have what is called a “fiction issue” in their editorial calendar. Something to do with gaming but, I presume, not fan-fiction.

It should be fun, and I can get back to the book afterwards with renewed vigour.
