I don't do recipes. I fry things slowly with very little oil, and bung in stuff so that I don't get bored. ...truly a man after my own heart. Yesterday, I made some pasta with a little sauté.

Wede:i just feels right to me... I like the agglutination of morpheme (and donuts). Elkarîl is a tour de force of linguistic creativity, what with the anaphora, the colors, the locatives, the syntax (I never thought I'd be so amazed by fixed word order) and the phonology, which is my favorite of all...
