I'm up way to late but that's ok.

I can think of many things that can make a day brighter.  Having a short chat with Yuki Matsuoka on Twitter is very high up on the list.

Anime I have been neglecting.

A list of stuff I need to finish, or actually start.  In order of neglect.

Pandora Hearts - Only seen three episodes.  I need to rewatch them.
Android Ana Maico - Good series of shorts.
Ergo Proxy - I need to finish this.  Great series, but I'm taking it slow.
Durarara!! - Another great series, I'm in no hurry to see it end.

I can haz Empire Avenue Secret Trophy?

Yes!  I can!

Kooking with Krimson

I've been neglecting my foodie side, mainly due to budget constraints.  A lack of pretty ingredients makes for little to show off.  Still, I do manage to be creative once in a while.  For instance I am currently enjoying the nom noms in the picture below.

Its pretty simple fare.  I took four cloves of garlic and sauteed them in butter until brown.  Then I added some basil and mint leaves (hint:  fresh herbs can be frozen in ziplock bags, and so can garlic cloves), and gave them a quick sear.  After that I added some kichadi that I had premade.  Now there are a couple of types of kichadi in Indian cooking.  One is a cucumber recipe which I have yet to try.  The other is usually made with rice and lentils.  Lately I have been making it with 2/3rds red rice to 1/3 yellow split peas.  I tossed in some ground pepper corns.

After sauteeing, I realized I had precious little to use as a garnish.  So, you can barely see it, but I crushed up some try kelp in my hands (do not try this yourself unless you are confident you have a GI Joe Kung Fu grip), which I then sprinkled over top.  The basil and mint taste rather nice together, and its a good light dish for this hot spring day.

Gomen, Taiga.  I love you, but I love Suzumiya-san just a little more.  Mikuru-chan, no one is as moe as you, but I still had to go with Saten-san.
