Haven't posted about cooking in a while!
Tonight I made a tarted up bangers and mash with some chorzio and garlic mashed potatoes. I supplemented the jus with some beef broth and spices, and skimmed off the fat for a nice sauce. For veg I stirfried some baby carrots, yellow and green onions, and snow peas. Because things were getting a bit heavy, I made a romaine salad with orange, cashews, English cucumber and grape tomatoes, and the...

Good comics and girls  →
Round two of Women Write About Comics is coming! I wrote a bit about approaching the topic Favourite Stories Starring Women: Not only is there a lack of female characters headlining ‘good’ Western comics, women creators (writers, artists, even editors) are underrepresented too. The work of only three female creators cracked Forbidden Planet’s 50 Best Graphic Novels, and only one of them–Lynn...

DC Women Kicking Ass: More on Marvel's Captain... →
dcwomenkickingass: I posted earlier the teaser that Marvel released today for a July Captain Marvel title. I’ve noticed much discussion in the comments about who that Captain Marvel might be. And now comes word via Bleeding Cool that sounds just about right - Captain Marvel is Carol Danvers and the writer is… OH. MY. GOD. Literally my dream come true.

Guest post: Part of the Problem, by Stephanie... →
Women Write About Comics has a guest post today, by freelance illustrator and comics artist, Stephanie O’Donnell: I remember being about 10, and playing the X-Men arcade game that was basically a ripoff of Street Fighter, only you could be Dazzler instead of Cammy. Over my shoulder, I heard a kid behind me say, “A GIRL?” Back then, it didn’t bother me. I wore it with a badge of pride....

This month we’ll be writing about our favourite comics starring women. Have you started your post? Do you even know what you’re going to write about? (I...
