Things my future lady's artisan apron will need

--Cell phone pocket
--iPod pocket (big one in case I upgrade to an iPod touch)
--Loop for "chatelaine" (probably wind up being a carabiner, like Coyote's)
--Hammer loop

Chatelaine should hold scissors, key ring with copies of shed, car, house and other vital keys, pen, sharpie, and possibly a pin cushion

I miss having a PS2 and Kingdom Hearts

I know this, because now, I'm trying to envision all my World of Darkness PCs as Keyblade users.

( It's sad, really... )

No greater joy and blogging

( Today's heavy, ranty stuff... )

Okay, I'm done with that.

Now, I've been thinking of trying to become a professional blogger. Except, I'm not sure what I'd blog about. I considered writing about being a female nerd/lolita/whatever else I identify as, brought up in the South and living as a modern liberal spiritual type, surrounded by mostly conservative religious types (tentative title: Southern Fried Loli). But, right now, I live so far from anything, I wouldn't have much to write about. It may just have to wait another year.

Lolita cooking--More than just desserts?

I'm taking the plunge into Lolita style. By Easter, I'd like to have at least one "formal" and one "casual" coordinate. I'm not going to live la vie quaintrelle. I don't have the time, money, or patience, though I'm fascinated by the aspects of the lifestyle, especially the cuisine, which seems to be mostly sweets (at least, I have yet to see a Lolita blog showcasing pasta or steak recipes).

While watching Ramsay's F Word on BBC-America, I saw a lovely recipe for a summer berry and champagne soup with floating vanilla meringue island and I wish I paid better attention to the whole thing. But now, I'm thinking, you can't eat sweets all the time! You'd blow up like Violet Beauregarde. La Carmina may have had a few recipes, but the Lolita community online seems to find her distasteful (though I read her cookbook and loved it).

So, what does one eat before the sweets at a Lolita tea/picnic/what-have-you, when lifestylers want to be dainty and cute and the non-lifers just want something filling?
