assorted stuff about food and fiction

We are getting toward the end of tax season, so appointments are coming faster. No more spare hours to faff around.
(I need to text Susan about finishing up her return next weekend.)
In completely unrelated news, I recently discovered that my local Wegmans makes a teriyaki salmon dish with udon noodles and some mixed veggies, which just needs to be popped in the microwave for ~2 minutes to reheat. I have consequently been on SUCH a salmon kick this past week. I could eat salmon forever -- I dunno why, it's just a flavor that never seems to get old for me.
Some other recent activities:
1. I have been on a kick of re-listening to Rusty Quill Gaming. I am currently up to the climax in Prague. (I am saving The Magnus Protocol for after tax season, when I will once again have some free time for stuff like cross-stitch and paint-by-numbers projects that I can do while wearing headphones -- I prefer not to listen in the car because they put a lot of effort into the audio editing and I like to catch it all clearly.)
2. I read through the seven extant books in Layla Lawlor's Keeley & Associates urban fantasy detective series, which are great fun. I then returned to nonfiction for a bit -- having finished a book on Roman Britain, I raced through The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs and am now reading about the Byzantine Empire. :)
3. I am also indulging in some childhood nostalgia as well as the feeling of "oh gosh I didn't know there were MORE books in that series!" by rereading Maud Hart Lovelace's Betsy-Tacy series. Unbeknownst to me, there are four books that follow Betsy through high school, and two more about Betsy as a young adult. I am looking forward to those!
