I’m back now if either of you are still around

@valtmy Sorry, I have to go now too.

@seekjustice I’ll probably be back in a little while.  So please do tag me when you get back.

@ariel-ashira @notawriter Farewell!

@seekjustice See you in a bit!

@valtmy How do you do?

Whatcha workin’ on?

@rochellaine @valtmy @notawriter

I’m just going off for a half-hour ish, I’ll be back soon!

@notawriter All right, here’s the opening to the story:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/17fNBv5Sugq8IwdXgnA8YAVRERTmQRapRnnkeCIrZoo0/edit?usp=sharing

That is pretty much the way I’m approaching it.  Though I don’t think it’s really the main theme of the book.

Hopefully this gets to you in time!  Otherwise, read it when you get a chance.  I’…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’ll make sure to mention that to mum. grapes will be in season soon, I think. And yes, it’s almost summer (urgh).

Okay, I’ll take a look in a second.

@notawriter

Thank you 🙂 I am currently well stocked with green tea, so hopefully I’ll be fine 🙂

@ariel-ashira

I imagine you’ve heard of Blandina too, then. She’s awesome as well 😀

@ariel-ashira I’ve told you about Daughter of Judas before. 😉

Well, I think, being a teenage girl, she wouldn’t be overly important to the religious leaders.  But the religious leaders didn’t really seem to care what her father did after he betrayed Jesus.  Remember when he tried to give back the money, they basically said “what do we care a…[Read more]

@seekjustice I know exactly what you mean. 😉

You should definitely try freezing grapes sometime.  You’re getting close to summer now, aren’t you?

Okay, great!  It’s a bit too long to post on KP, but I’ll put an open access document here.  (So @ariel-ashira and @notawriter feel free to take a look to…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira

That’s really cool! I was reading about Perpetua quite recently actually, in one of my dad’s college textbooks 😀

@ariel-ashira Are you still working on your Biblical times story too?

@notawriter I want to say my stress levels, 😛 but we’ll go with “I’m working on a short story to submit to an anthology and it’s fun so far!”

@ariel-ashira Oh, what are you working on now? Still his-fic? I’ve been thinking of making an SE thread for historicals, cause I think that would be fun.  What do you think?

@notawriter I consider that a very quick reply. 😉  But I’ll be prepared in case there are slower ones.

My current novel is about the fictional daughter of Judas Iscariot.  I consider this a very interesting premise to work with because in all the New Testament novels I’ve read the Christians are the nice people and the unbelievers are the a…[Read more]

@rochellaine

And to clarify, when I say “I know a lot” I mean that I know a lot for an average run of the mill Australian girl.

And no, I haven’t. I’d never even thought of freezing grapes.

I’ll definitely read it, if you want to post it 😀

@notawriter @ariel-ashira Hello there!

@notawriter Hiieeee!!!  You’re here! 😀

@seekjustice I see. 🙂

Have you ever had frozen grapes?  We freeze them ourselves, just washing them and putting them in a plastic bag in the freezer.  They’re an amazing summer snack.  Would you believe it…we’ve actually frozen raisins too. 😛  We used to put frozen raisins in our oatmeal for breakfast.  I remember liking it quite a lot, thou…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I have a friend who’s mother knows a lot about the culture and has done some travelling, so I hear about it quite a lot.

Our family doesn’t eat frozen fruit, except for putting in smoothies or milkshake sort of things. I think my siblings like eating frozen blueberries a bit.

Actually, I can tell you that I do like canned fruit a…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, it’s because of the Middle Eastern background.  Wow, that was a quick connection you made!

I like fresh fruit too, and agree that dried fruit is not the best.  I like dried apricots and mango a lot.  Dried cranberries are probably my favorite, but those have to be sweetened, because they’re extremely sour. 😉  What do you thin…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yes, I think so. It’s a pizza stable here, and I think the cheapest pizza you can buy 😀 Do you not eat ham because of your Middle Eastern background?

Yes, we do 😀 Though at restaurants it usually only comes on expensive burgers.

I have had them before but I don’t like them. I really like fruit, but I’m strictly a fresh fruit…[Read more]

@seekjustice I think ham and pineapple pizza is the original “Hawaiian pizza” which was invented in Canada.  Hawaiians say it’s not Hawaiian pizza. 😉  But I believe yes, it is fairly common in America.  I’ve personally never had it, because we don’t eat ham.

Um…do you have pineapple on burgers?  I’ve had pineapple with a lot of meats befo…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I guess so? But you’d probably have to go to a health food store, or there might be some in the health food section of the supermarket, I don’t know.

Do you have ham and pineapple pizza? Maybe that’s just an Australian thing.

What about pineapple? Do you have that on burgers? Haha, my dad likes talking about once when he was r…[Read more]
