Power Ballad

I have another webcomic recommendation to make.

Power Ballad, by Molly Brooks, is a romantic comedy (involving a couple of lesbians, if that matters to you). It's also a superhero comic - or, at least, it features a costumed vigilante. It's sweet, and funny, and complete - 26 rather long pages. I've added Ms. Brooks to my Twitter Funny bookmark folder; if she ever writes another comic, I want to be there when it starts.

(Hat tip to James Nicoll, whose review of the comic led me to read it.)

The first half of the semester, I was lazy about cooking, mostly relying on frozen dinners. The last two or three weeks, though, I've gotten back into the swing: beef burgundy, a ham & mac & cheese concoction, and today, what the cookbook calls "Cornbread & Beans Casserole". What it is, is cornbread and beans, cooked together in a single pot. I just poured the cornbread mix over the partially-cooked beans, and it'll be ready in a couple of hours.

I had to deviate from the recipe a little; it called for 8.5 oz of diced tomatoes with mild green chilis, but SnS only had that in larger sizes, so I went with "with sweet onions" instead. We'll see what effect that has. (I've made it before, with the correct ingredients, and enjoyed it. I expect I'll enjoy this as well.)
