This is a mini fic_rush post that will contain spam, mentions of alien fish, and possibly also reports of myself and/or other people making progress on their fics over the weekend. Have at it!
Cats have left, alas, so I am going to get up now. I have a Hanukkah family get-together later today which will probably involve a fair amount of eating, so I will be good and leave the sufganyot for tomorrow.
There was mention that there might be some homemade sufganyot going, yes. Although you had put me in the mood for a chocolate-covered, cream-filled doughnut, and I'm definitely not getting that tonight.
On the other hand, the ones tonight (if they happen) will be warm and fresh from the oil. Yum, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. I better go eat breakfast!
Well, just as an example of what an incredibly observant Jew I am, I didn't light candles on the first or the second night because I couldn't find any candles. (I had thought I had some left over from last year, but apparently not.) Then I finally went out and bought candles, but I didn't light them last night either because I was going out and I couldn't leave them burning while I was gone (see: cats). So now we're coming up on the fourth night, and I might actually light the menorah for the first time. Good thing this holiday is eight nights long!
However, when it comes to eating latkes and sufganyot, I'm all over it. I happen to like oily, fried foods. : )
Brrr. Oily food. I don't mind fried as much, assuming it's not very oily - this can be achieved! :)
Hee about the hanukia story. :) I actually found in this flat some really old candles! I should use my amazing psychic powers and send them over to you. It's kinda funny - they're sitting here in the middle of the living room, but there's no hanukia in sight. This is a strange house.

Date: 2010-12-04 07:09 pm (UTC)(Hmmm. Well, could be either! OR cat-shaped sufganya.... Or maybe a cat made of sufganya... yeah I'll stop now).
So! Did you start writing yet? :P
