A little cooking advice, please?

[lonelybrit]

I have two requests. Well, two requests and a little pimp, or one request and one joint request/pimp thing. *sigh* Anyway...

1) I have been given the job of cooking the roast lamb for this evening. There's this bloody looking shoulder/leg thing wrapped up in plastic in the fridge right now. Erm. Great? Is there anything I can do to make it tasty? Other than actually cooking it, naturally? Are you meant to add oil? Herbs? Cloves or nutmeg? Help?

2) I have a shameless request of icon-makers out here. Last night, princess_s and I discovered this French AtS/BtVS site. Is there anyone willing to make an Angel/Wes icon out of these pics? They are so pretty. Don't know if they need text or not, but it's odd to find happy shots of the boys. *sigh*





Anyway, the site is definitely worth browsing through, they have great pics of DB with JAR, and one gorgeous Season 1 shot of a laughing DB with a laughing Glen Quinn... *sniffle*

Garlic and thyme is always good with roast lamb. Make little nicks in the flesh with a sharp knife and stuff them with bits of garlic and fresh/dried thyme, then rub some oil over it. Yummy! Also, most useful cooking sites ever -

BBC - food
Delia online

Re. the pics - I'll have a go at the second one if you like. I think the first might be a bit too fuzzy to make a decent icon with ;)

[lonelybrit]

I think we have both garlic and thyme, so that might just do the trick. Thank you!

And also *hugs*, I have to admit, it's particularly the second one I would adore to see as an icon. Angel and Wes are very pretty together, but a lot of the screencaps tend to have them both looking like the world's about to end. Which is technically true, but not great when you're trying to live in your fluffy bubble of denial, LOL! If you get the time, I will happily offer flowers/drabbles at your keyboard =)

They are naturally angsty in screencaps aren't they? It is fab to see them grinning at each other, and they look so at ease. Sigh. I'll have a stab this afternoon for you ;)

[lonelybrit]

*ruffles Wes hair* Fab indeed. Thank you!! =)

Here you go - if you want the text changed or whatever, let me know and feel free to use any or none! I might use one actually, it's such a cute photo ;)

[lonelybrit]

AHHH!! **huggles and nuzzles and pets icon** Oh, these are gorgeous!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Oh, I'm torn, which ones, which ones, they're all lovely... *bounces* *hugs*

I would and do actually offer you possible drabbles of thanks, except I must warn you I have a 100% failure rate so far on doing any fanfic writing on request. *looks guilty at eloise and lostgirlslair* But if you want a drabble, and if the bunny strikes, say the word and I shall give it a go! :)

Hee! Don't worry, I'm just glad you like them. And thanks for treating us to the lovely pictures!

*snuggles*

That second picture is absolutely adorable.

[lonelybrit]

Isn't it just? *pets the two boys* It's nice to know they can be smiling and happy together =)

[cheesygirl.livejournal.com]

I might take a stab at iconning these later. They're so dorky/pretty when they smile.

[lonelybrit]

Yep, smiling is a rare sight, and them smiling at each other even rarer, such moments should be treasured I think :)

These aren't much, but here they are (I maniped them a bit so they're closer together).

You can always try http://www.cdkitchen.com

[lonelybrit]

Ooh, might try that, thank you! :)

I love the way Wesley is staring at Angel's mouth. you can tell he's just waiting for the right moment to swoop in and snog him senseless ;-)

[lonelybrit]

Oh yes, they're both just killing time until they can excuse themselves and leave to continue the night elsewhere :)

Awww! I love this one. It looks like Alexis is awfully amused by whatever direction David is getting from Joss.

*grin* Oh yes, the smile and David's general bewildered look are a great combination, LOL!

Sorry about deleting post, it's just that posting an image direct from the site causes grief with the owner's bandwidth :)

[taffimai.livejournal.com]

Oops, sorry. Thanks for catching the mistake.

[theferretgirl.livejournal.com]

Awww, they're so adorable.

[lonelybrit]

*pets them* Oh yes, they so really are =)

[sweet-exile.livejournal.com]

You don't mind if I save them to maybe make icons at a later date do you?

[lonelybrit]

Hey, there can never be enough happy Angel, Wes icons, if you get the icon-muse at a later date, go nuts =)

[sweet-exile.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Thinking of what text to add will keep me from boredom in work tomorrow.
