ourdramaqueenToday you could have thought it's April, judging from the weather! In the morning it was snowing like in deepest winter. Then towards noon it stopped, the clouds disappeared and the temperatures rose towards spring, if not early summer like heights! Then towards the evening fog crept in from the lake!
As some of you know, I'm not much of a cook (OK, not much of a housewife in general) so I don't experiment a lot. However tonight I felt like something different so I cooked some pasta and for the sauce chopped up a Paprika (red pepper) and some cherry tomatoes, fried them with some olive oil, added cream and ground cheese (Grana Padano, hmmm!) and some garlic salt, pepper, ground paprika, nutmeg, basil and origano... and wow, it turned out really well! I think next time I'll try the same with crème fraîche instead of cream, as a variation. I must admit I'm pretty proud of myself! :D
And I also made another wallpaper. OMG how could I resist when I found those pictures... (the last one, which fit in perfectly and really made the set complete, today). I started last night - and by now I really should know better than to start putting together the pictures for a wallpaper less than an hour before midnight. Because of course I couldn't resist to start dabbling with them, and well... um, let's say it wasabout 1 1/2 hours a little bit later than midnight until I went to bed! However I think I'm starting to get the hang of the whole textures and brushes thing, which is great! But enough babbling about it, here is said wallpaper, and yes it's snaggable - not like there are more than one or two people on my flist who are into Joaquin... ;)

And yes, email just came in from her :)

drooled shamelesslyexpressed my appreciation of that picture (or the rest of them, for that matter), is it? *cough* Btw I am wondering if it's from the same shoot as the waitress pictures... it seems to be from the same photographer at least, going by the last posts onand the behind the scenes video!!!

Date: 2006-03-10 08:38 pm (UTC)Last night I was reading some interviews on various Joaq sites - wanted to go look at one again today as it was particularly lovely, but joaquin-phoenix.net where I'd found it seems to be down, and of course none of the other sites I know have it!
You don't happen to have MSN/Windows Messenger or AIM at home? It would just be sooooooo good being able to gush a) without boring the rest of my flist to tears and b) at a faster rate than a handful of LJ posts per day... ;)
