Happy New Year!
Dec. 31st, 2008 06:01 pmI have to stop laughing. See, Mitsuko (my wife) had a new recipe for a meat roll that she wanted to try for New Year's. Basically ground meat, with uzura tamago (little quail eggs) boiled at the center, and the whole thing rolled in sesame seeds. But the recipe called for cooking them in the microwave. The first one, she tried the way they had recommended -- wrapped in plastic, kind of like a sausage. And it exploded.
( Exploding meat rolls for the holidays )
There's something about ushering in the New Year with exploding meat rolls that really tickles my fantasy. I wonder if I can convince her to make some more for midnight?
And I got to eat at least part of one quail egg -- pretty tasty, even if it had popped.

Writing Excuses Season Two Episode 12: Theme
From http://www.writingexcuses.com/2008/12/28/writing-excuses-season-2-episode-12-theme/
Key Points: If plot is the skeleton of your story, theme is the soul you stick inside it. Them is what the story is about. Theme may grow out of characters, out of their conflicts. Theme may direct your research. Don't let theme overshadow your story and characters.
( the discourse of the three wise men? )
[Brandon] Writing Prompt?
[Dan] I did the last one.
[Brandon] Write a story with no theme. Whatsoever. That means nothing. Howard said it's not possible, prove him wrong.
[Howard] That's good. Give us a short story that's meaningless. What have we wrought?
