extrapenguinBefore I go back to the wordcount mines:
1. I procrastinated on exchange fic by doing the first cut of![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
vexercises exercise 4 (side character study – in this case, Li Qian) way ahead of schedule. It still needs coloring, frame-level timing finetuning of some transitions, and maybe some additional effects like mirroring footage, but I have 1 minute and 8 seconds of it. (I was very naughty and added 8 seconds of runtime because it worked better for the song.)
2. Food update: Chongqing chicken failed due to my total lack of dried chili peppers, significant misremembering of how many fresh chili peppers I had, and bad deep frying technique. Deep fried things also didn't reheat well, so probably not repeating that one. As my mandarin orange peels are still drying, I made beef and mushroom (and paprika) stirfry, and succeeded in thickening the sauce with corn starch! It was very satisfyingly clingy.
3. I have rediscovered the adorablest of Guardian bts gifs:
Will perhaps make this month's brush and lantern fic inspired by that.

Food and recipe links should all be gathered under the tag of cat: food! I wish you happy cooking.
