We haz moved

[lady_karelia]

The kitchen is functional, the living room cosy, and it's mostly clothing and populating the book shelves that's left to do. But today may just be a chill-sort-of-day cuz I can't feel my legs. Or arms. And the back is ouch.

The macbook's hard drive is deaded. Which means, yeah, I lost a few files, but such is life. I managed to recreate about 1300 words of the 1800 I lost. Good thing I edit like mad, so chunks of it I managed to remember word by word, or at least pretty much. The Steve-person at the Genius Bar was pretty cool. He suggested three different contacts to have the hard-drive replaced, saying they're all Apple certified and can do it way cheaper than Apple. He also pointed out that I might want to get a bigger hard-drive while I'm having to replace it anyway. What a splendid idea and way cheaper than a new macbook! I might eventually even able to afford to buy that extra memory that will make GarageBand all the more efficient.

Aaaaaand: I just tried the first batch of feta. Not salty *grins*, but yummy already. And it lookest good in olive oil with Herbs de Provence:



Ready to come over and eat it, hogwarts_91 and melenka?

I'm sorry to hear that your computer is being yucky. That is most unfortunate! Good that it is fixable, tho'... *hugs*

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Thanks, luv! Yeah, is a bummer about the laptop, but thankfully, it's not as expensive as I was afraid it would be, so... :)

[lady-rhian.livejournal.com]

In spite of computer malfunction, I have sent you the latest Exchange fic version, just so you have it. I don't anticipate getting much more done this week. *hugs*

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Is all cool. Received it. I'm using hubby's laptop, as he's using the work one. :) Will get to it tomorrow.

Oh feta! Yummy! All those cow-milk 'salad cubes' that are supposed to be the easier alternative with consumer-friendly ingredients are just no good.
Give me a sheep-milk feta any time. *yum*

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Well... the one I made is with cow's milk. But I used organic milk and know exactly what went in it (culture, rennet, and nothing else), and it's wayyyyy better than the bought stuff. I wish I could find ewe's milk here. Or at least goat's milk.

I'll be there! There's not much I won't do for cheese. Shall I bring red or white wine? Screw it: I'll bring both! So sorry about the lost files... Curse those electrons!! I hope you gets lots of rest & recuperation... Take care of you!!!

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

I find it goes better with red. Especially Cabernet Sauvignon not from California *grins*.

Thanks for the wishes for resting; I promptly fell asleep this afternoon. LOL!

[hogwarts-91.livejournal.com]

Good for you! I'll bring my latest fav - a red from Argentina called Malbec. I think I saw some lovely Argentinian cabs, too... I'll bring that, as well. And I'll still bring white, since I tend to puke red after awhile (do you like how I blame the color instead of my overconsumption?!). It's the tannins, I think...

Wine, cheese, and good company. What more could someone ask for? If only...

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

You made me curious about the Malbec. Found a bottle, quite decently priced, and it says it's a flagship variety of Argentina. Hm. Am curious, but have to finish the rest of the Cab first before I open another one. So, possibly tomorrow. Or maybe I'll wait and share it with you. Muah! I can't wait! *squeeeeeeee*

[little-beloved.livejournal.com]

Hurray! Congrats on your move, honey. :) I was thinking of you over the weekend.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks, luv! I'm sooooo glad this w/end is over! The new place almost looks like a proper home now.

[kittylefish.livejournal.com]

yay! you moved, and it's cozy, and you have CHEESE! it beez most beeyooteefull! and it sounds like "bad computer" will be "good computer" again soon. i'm so happy you were able to reconstruct most of your chapter. :)

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm rather happy about all that. *smiles*

[apisa-b.livejournal.com]

*HUGS you*
Now take a rest after all the work you have done!

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks! *hugs back*

Yes, I did fall asleep this afternoon! LOL

[closetravenclaw.livejournal.com]

You just moved and you are already making cheese? *giggles*

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Not quite, LOL! I made the cheese a few weeks ago and let it cure in brine. But today, I decided I had to do something good to me, so I took one slap, put herbs on it, and marinaded it in olive oil. :)

[mundungus42.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I'm so sorry your computer died, but I am glad that the loss wasn't catastrophic. Congratulations on what sounds like a wholly successful move! And I am positively drooooling over your feta!

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that really blows. But I haven't lost an awful lot, so that's a relief. :)

[qui-quae-quod.livejournal.com]

*drool*

Yum - that cheese looks sooooo good. Nothin' better than great cheese and fab Cab! *is jealous*
