Rec of the day... and some ramblings

My roomie made Reibekuchen today, also known as Kartoffelpuffer (hey, wouldn't that make a cool name for the next monster on Grimm - the Kartoffelpuffling?)... anyway, those are pankake-like things that consist of grated potatoes, onions, a bit of flour and a dash of salt. So we have no idea why the kitchen smells like baked goose now. Not just that, the cakes taste like goose. Boggling.

I'm falling behind on my fic reading and reccing because I've been following the OTW debate for the last few days. Like someone said, it's like watching your parents fight. :( I thought about linking to the relevant threads but there are so many of them, I just didn't know where to start. I haven't found a succinct summary with links yet.

rec, rec... oh yeah. Lovely kids' book art: Legends from Kasachstan. I like the tasteful coloring and the style which looks like an interesting blend of Western and Eastern styles.
