My fannish history

Inspired by this post at otw_onlinecon as linked to me by cupidsbow and ithiliana. Personally I'd rather be napping right now but I really feel like writing it all down now :)

There's sort of two related stories here: how I discovered science fiction fandom, and how I got into "transformative works" fandom. I describe some of the former in my sad tale of the pains of being an Isobelle Carmody fangirl and a lot of the latter can be followed on my downward spiral tag :)

Low-fat not-fajitas

Recorded here mostly for my own benefit, since it's very much adapted with my very-anti-mexican-food issues in mind. But I enjoyed them :)

The problem with mexican food is that I can't eat paprika, red capsicum, chilli, cheese, or sour cream. Or anything too fatty, like corn chips (and, being on a diet, shouldn't really eat fatty breads like fajitas either). All I'm really left with is cumin, coriander, green capsicum, tomato, and beans. So I tend to just not bother very often, but I had this intense craving for fajitas (which I haven't eaten in years). Looking up recipes online I couldn't find anything very consistent apart from "onions, red capsicum, chilli" which wasn't very helpful.

My apologies to anyone reading this who has any affection for real mexican food :) No quantities since I totally made it up as I went along.

( These are not the chicken fajitas you're looking for )

And yes, one of the signs that I've been cooped up home sick for too long is that I get sick of eating the same old crap every day (especially since I have to be extra careful not to set off my food issues) and start getting...creative.
