 I realize I haven't posted in a while. Today is sort of quiet, raining as another cold front approaches. Since it's the Lunar New Year I'm making bao. Instead of shaped buns, I'm just rolling the dough into taco shapes for steaming, and serving them up with chasu pork, crispy tofu nuggs, and some shredded veggies - napa cabbage, carrots, and peppers. And a drizzle and/or dipping sauce made from some of the pork marinade. Don't worry, I poured off half of it before putting the meat in. 

I'm getting back into the swing of drawing each day and back to work on the comics. Got some illustrations I'll share later from my DA that were done just kind of for fun. I also stopped by the local library and got the accounts all straightened out. I let them know Kitty had died, so they closed her account (and wrote off her apparently thirty-seven dollars in fines, WTF?) and they set me up with an online account. There was no "problems with your login" link on their web page, but the lady who helped me said since I had an older account I would have needed to come in anyway. I signed up for a card before they had their online system. Anyway now I can renew books and file ILL requests, so I'm on my way to saving myself a good bit of money, book-wise. With inter-library loan, I won't need to pick up obscure titles from Amazon unless they simply can't find something. I checked out The Library Book by Susan Orlean and The Old Man and the Sea already.

Anyway, time to make the donuts. I mean bao.

Ohh that sounds so good. I'm jealous! (I haven't made bao in like....five years)

I've had a hankering for both those books recently, weirdly enough. Searched through all my unpacked book boxes for my copy of Old Man and the Sea and ... I guess I don't have one anymore?? Let us all know if The Library Book is good!! It's been on my wishlist since before it came out but I keep hesitating since I've never read Susan Orlean before.
