Eighth Down Under Feminists Carnival

Since a large proportion of you aren't on her flist: stephiepenguin has just posted the Eighth Down Under Feminists Carnival, lots of interesting feministy links to fill in an afternoon.

A tasty gluten, dairy and soy free dinner

I wasn't aiming for gluten free, but that's what I got EDIT: Kind of :) (apart from the pudding, which I bought. Insert your own pudding)
I made these recipes up off the top of my head based on other recipes I have seen/done, there's almost certainly better versions of both but I wanted to record this. Nb not vegan.
( Potato salad )

( custard )

I haven't made milk-free custard before, I was worried it wouldn't work so am very happy it did. I was looking up soy-and-dairy free icecream today, part of me is seriously considering an icecream maker.

Two fun things

We went to the video store yesterday and I got out:

Wii Music: This is LOTS of fun. Not a game so much as a music making program (though it does have minigames like what is basically "Handbell Hero"). Very silly and I'm kind of bored it already but worth a rent and probably fun at parties. I would have LOVED this as a kid, and I get the feeling it's more fun in co-op mode (Cam isn't interested :/) This ad shows the sort of thing you can do, there are some actual rock songs and stuff in there too :)

Bones disk 1: Not gobsmakcingly brilliant, but the first crime show I've seen in a long time that doesn't have a thick, nasty undercurrent of Bad People Must Be Punished (where bad people includes single mothers, transexuals, uppity foreigners...) The main characters are more interested in intellectual one-upmanship and flirting than tut-tutting. Also, as kadeton and greteldragon said, the lead is a sciencey lady, kind of like a less offensive McKay (she thinks she's smarter than everyone and logic >> emotions, but isn't actively cruel)
