Current Obsessions
Here's what I'm into right now:
Music
I'm digging the techno/dance/house stuff at the moment. Not sure why. But Lady Gaga (Poker Face), Goldfrapp (Ooh La-la-la), Morningwood (Best of Me), and The Gossip (Standing in the Way of Control) have taken over my iTunes.
Kitchen
My brand new shallow porcelain baking dishes are the light of my life. I made shirred eggs this morning (heat half a tablespoon of butter in the dish over moderate heat, crack in the egg, salt and pepper, baste with the butter, and finish under the broiler. Magnifique!) and I'm not going to be able to stop myself from making creme brulee sometime very soon.
TV on DVD
I'm finally getting around to watching Firefly, and I'm addicted after two episodes. It's kind of shameful, how easy I am. But seriously, give me Joss Whedon and Nathan Fillion, and I'm so down it's not even funny.
Books
Ann Aguirre's heart-stoppingly fabulous Sirantha Jax series, starting with Grimspace. Sweet fancy Moses on buttered toast, but these books are awesome! The writing is fluid and assured, the character is complex and fascinating, and the action grips you in a stranglehold from page one and just. Never. Lets. Up.
Nice list. Thanks for sharing.

How much do I love you right now? Oh, it's a lot.

My brother sent me the Firefly series and I haven't started it yet. I'm afraid to knowing how addictive I can get and Nathan Fillion is soooo cute *g*
Might have to try shirred eggs.
And can I mention that I'm waiting eagerly for your noovel to come out. Romance and cooking... what can be better?

Thanks, guys! Especially Ann, so cool to have a famous author comment! : )
Actually, especially thanks to MolliesMom for saying you're looking forward to Can't Stand the Heat. Not too long to wait now! 8 days and counting...
