wiseheartWell, yes, dear folks, it's this time of the year again. The big, one-week virtual party from today to the 9th of October starts here. Come on in, be welcome, make yourself comfortable, and post a comment. May we have many collapsed threads again!
Last year we had 559 comments on 4 pages, which is an impressive record to break. But I have an excellent apple pie in the oven, and offer a virtual slice to every party guest.
Let's party!
Addition: someone asked for the apple pie recipe. Here it is, behind the cut.
400 gr wheat flour
200 gr butter or margarine
200 gr sugar
1/10 litre sour cream
1 pinch of salt
ground peel of 1/lemon
2 gr baking soda
For the filling:
2 kg apples
sugar,cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla and ground lemon peel as you like
One eggyolk for painting the top.
How to make it?
1) Make a dough from abovementioned ingredients.
2) Cut it in two equal pieces. Roll out one piece, lay it into a baking tin (baking paper under it is helpful).
3) Spread some dried bread crubms all over it.
4) Peel and plane (slice???) the apples, press out the juice with your hands (it shouldn't be too dry, though) and mix them with the spices.
5) Spread the apples over the dough.
6) Roll out the other half of the dough. Cover the apples with it.
7) Paint the top with eggyolk and bake it in a pre-heated oven, on 200°C for twenty minutes.
8) Cut it when it's cooled down.
Sorry, but I had to use the metric system. My brain doesn't work in cups and pounds and that stuff. I hope you can still figure out how much you need from the ingredients.
Addition: I also wish to gift upon my dear party guests a birthday-present, Hobbit-style: Chapter 03 - Puer Natus Est Nobis of my Cadfael fic "Sparrows" has just been posted to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hiddenrealms and to FF.Net. Enjoy!
And the end results are: 735 comments on 6 pages! It's more than I could have dreamed of, and I thank you - all of you - who contributed to this record. It will be a hard one to break next year indeed, but I hope you'll be back. :)
Thanks again, I had a fantastic time and met great new people - it was fun!

Re: 3 favorite fandoms meme
Date: 2010-10-09 11:53 am (UTC)Merry and Pippin are actually responsible adults in The Books. At least Merry is, as Pippin isn't of age yet. But not even he is such an idiot comic relief as in the movies.
Re: Andromeda fanfic
Well, aside from the obvious (tries to look modest and fails miserably), I would recommend you The Recreation of the Warrior (http://www.anzwers.org/free/andromeda/fanfic/Mandyfic/warrior1.html) by Kit Mason. It's a great fic, with lots of Nietzschean cultural background, I think you'll like it.
The gratutious het scenes get a little boring sometimes, but you can always skip them. I also recommend browsing the website it's posted to, "Andromeda Uncovered". There are some interesting stories there, although no other that would be half this good,IMO.
Forget to add: Where men named Rhade are concerned, I vastly prever the original, Gaheris. Steve Bacic is a decent enough actor, I've seen it in many different roles - not an overwhelmingly genial one, but good, solid average. Rhade as a character would have needed a concept to begin with - I don't think the writers really knew what they wanted to do with him.
