Getting my money's worth...
When's the last time I typed in LJ? When's the last time I even checked my friends list?
Still working on a lot of commissions. I can't complain...I need the money, LOL! Plus I get to try out dolls/hairstyles I never got around to doing myself. I'm still waffling over whether or not I ever want to get my own Ever After High doll. On one hand, I think the heads are too round and the lack of forehead makes a lot of hairstyles look less than flattering...on the other hand, I like the range of "normal" skin colors compared to Monster High, and the body sculpt is a little better. Hmmm...maybe one or two, in the future...
Lauren and I tried making homemade Japanese curry a few weeks ago, sans roux block, from this recipe:

It actually turned out really well. Good thing I have made roux before, otherwise I would have been terrified, LOL! We used pork shoulder instead of beef, though...it was on sale and I think beef chuck/short ribs/other kind of fatty beef can be kind of gross, honestly. I also mixed my own curry powder because there's something about premixed curry powder that bugs me, in more ways than one. That's a heck of a lot of garam masala(makes a heck of a lot of curry, though)!

I've been kind of 'meh' about EAH so far. Kalli likes Cerise, though. (She hasn't appeared up here in Maine yet. If she did, we missed her!)
That curry sounds delicious~
