ASCEM summer fic exchange

If you are a creative trek fan, like to read and write/draw/manip, this might be the thing for you :) A fic & art exchange, originating at ASCEM but open for all trekkies (the group is open too, leaning towards higher-rated content but all in all very flexible :)

( what you need to send where )

(no subject)

- Lovely Trek item lowered in price (very relatively seen) is mine and on its postal way. Husband smiled as I told him its story, and we agreed that we absolutely need to hang this up on a wall without direct sunlight :)) As he said, "I don't mind if you buy more beautiful things". Well - my banking accounts do mind by now!

- After fidgeting back and forth what to do with the English certificates and all, I found an agreeable solution. If the academy thinks that my English is ready for starting level 5, so be it. I therefore signed up for the track to "Certificate of Proficiency in English" (CPE) today. Since English5 is part of the certified translator curriculum, I can still decide to take the complete course in the future without any time loss :) Yay! Learning!

Coming next - work. Really! :)

Kisses! Kisses!

Seen in killabeez's journal, and I like the idea so much that I just have to offer it:

Comment with two characters I write, and I'll tell you about their first kiss.

Any trek - though ENT might end very wacky - or Heroes or BL.

P.S. roadstergal, didn't forget your ENT manip...

Bakery!

After a rather productive day, I had a weird moment and tried another round of "Hildabroedle". Last time, they tasted well but looked terrible, because they are made of shortpastry which sticks to everything, everywhere.

This time I worked around that problem by a) using my rolling pin of doom and b) gigantic amounts of flour. Therefore, they almost look like they should.

However, AFTER they were in the oven, I had a closer look at the recipe again and found that you should actually bake the Broedle in halves first and assemble the unit with jam afterwards *bonks head*

Well, next time...husband will eat them anyway, and they taste great.

And the 1$ question about a Backbrett (wooden pastry board with one slat up on one side and another one down on the other side). Until tonight I thought it's a common German bakery tool, but it's not...? But at least I found it also on US websites!
