Snagged from the Smart Bitches, in a post that may or may not disappear in the near future, because it relays material posted in a non-public area of the RWA site:

( definition of the Best Inspirational Romance category for the RWA contests )

And my interest in this?

Going by those rules, the third volume of The Syndicate is an inspirational romance. Yes, predatrix and I have written an erotic m/m inspirational romance.

food and drink

l_prieto came over for lunch, and told me about the good stuff that happened at the RT convention. Yes, there was good stuff, in spite of the "no manlove here" nonsense. And I'm *still* grinning after she told me that someone mentioned Dolphin Dreams. In a "have you read that scene?" kind of way, admittedly...

We ate in one of the Vietnamese places. No noodle soup, because noodle soup comes with cilantro/coriander leaf, but they also do char-grilled meat on a bed of noodles and salad with No Cilantro. Pretty good, and they had a decent lychee drink with lots-n-lots of lychees. Needed the cold drink, because summer arrived in the Bay area yesterday, and it was ever so slightly warm today.

Speaking of food, we had the remains of the duck confit at the weekend. There was actually a reasonable amount of meat left, but in bits and pieces rather than joints on the bone. So I sliced some onto pizza on Saturday night, and used the rest in a stir fry on Sunday. 'Twas excellent in both.

Not quite at the stage of harvesting food from the garden yet, though I could probably pluck a leaf or two of basil by now. The first fruit started forming on the Patio Dwarf tomato a week ago, and all of the plants now have multiple flowers open, so I'm looking forward to eating my own tomatoes soon.
