resonantAfter I put up The Hang of It, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
icarusancalion wondered what was going on in Ron's head at the same time. When I thought about it, I realized I had no idea. So I wrote it.

The Hang Of It, from Ron's side.
Underage? Depends on whether you think it happened before July or after.

Date: 5/19/04 11:47 am (UTC)That line makes me limp with love for Ron (and consequently, for YOU for having thought it up).
It might be the most perfect imagery ever.
Thank you for letting us in on Ron's POV.

Date: 5/26/04 11:42 am (UTC)Hm. Somehow in this universe I can only see Hermione on the outside.
Fabulous! Truly enjoyable!

Date: 5/19/04 01:26 pm (UTC)(One typo catch, in case you want to fix it: Harry was still pawing weakly at Ron's zip, which was tricky to get a grip on because the shorts were are too tight.

Date: 5/19/04 02:09 pm (UTC)By the way, I was making tofu and was wondering if you had tried my tofu and also if you found some other fabulous tofu recipes you wanted to share. (There was one a bit back...)

Date: 5/26/04 11:50 am (UTC)Re tofu: I'm afraid my family had a violent anti-hoisin-sauce reaction, so that one didn't work well for us.
I've got a decent Pad Thai recipe from Everyday Food, if you don't already have one -- it even got the thumbs-up from the five-year-old, in spite of the fish sauce. And I've discovered that tofu substitutes nicely for beef in my usual stir-fry recipe. And I've learned the Two Necessary Tofu Techniques: pressing and using a nonstick pan.
Otherwise we've just been marinating it in lemon-tahini dressing and putting it on salads. Or, in my case, eating big squares of it with salt.
Anti-hoisin sauce?
Date: 5/28/04 06:17 pm (UTC)If you could send me that Phad Thai recipe I'd be much obliged. I have a phad thai recipe I've been playing with for a while and I think it's ok, but it seems to be lacking something too.
What brand of tofu do you like? I used to live in Ithaca NY and could get this wonderful local tofu. Now I have to make do with Nasoya. Nothing else seems even close.
OB fic: The inevitable feeling came out very well. I was really impressed that the perspectives were not conflicting and yet each seemed to think the other was motivating the action into the bedroom. Very clever really. It's stuff like this that keeps me coming back (even if I can't comment intelligibly:)).

Date: 5/29/04 08:32 pm (UTC)Brand? There are different brands of tofu? I'm in Peoria. I'm just thankful I can buy the stuff at all.
OK. This recipe comes from Martha Stewart Everyday Food (which is worth checking out; I get a keeper recipe out of it almost every month), but hers had shrimp, and I substituted tofu. I guess you could use both.
8 ounces rice stick noodles
1/4 cup tomato-based chili sauce*
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons Thai fish sauce (or 3 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon anchovy paste)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 package firm tofu
3 cups mung bean sprouts (the fat ones)
8 scallions, trimmed, halved lengthwise, and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 large egg, lightly beaten
For garnish: more mung bean sprouts, fresh cilantro, chopped dry-roasted peanuts
My note: Start by cutting the tofu into 1/4-inch slices. Press it: Lay paper towels or a clean kitchen towel in a baking sheet, add the tofu slices, top with another paper towel or kitchen towel, top with another baking sheet, and set a heavy pan in the top baking sheet. Press for about 15 minutes. Then fry in a little oil in a nonstick pan until a light crust develops, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
Martha's recipe resumes here.
1. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Remove from heat, stir in noodles. Soak until softened (3 minutes). Drain, rinse under cold water until cool.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together chili sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and fish sauce (or soy sauce and anchovy paste).
3. In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add noodles and chili-sauce mixture; cook, tossing, until combined, about 1 minute. Add bean sprouts and scallions. Pour in egg (my note: I made a hole in the middle of the noodle mixture and cooked the egg there because I wanted it to hold together a little more). Add tofu and toss to combine. Serve with garnishes.
* I have no idea what she means by "tomato-based chili sauce." If she means tabasco, I'm scared of what this would taste like with 1/4 cup in it, but I can't handle much spice. I used about 1/2 teaspoon of tabasco.
Let me know how you like it!

Date: 5/19/04 04:21 pm (UTC)I appreciate 'seeing' Harry's baggy clothes - I don't think I ever read that from another character's POV in a fic.
and understand that this meant Ron was not the only freak in the house
Oh, so *Ron*.
Love the little details, like smeared lenses. And this: after the blacksmith's puzzle of Harry's belt just made me squee. I've never heard that before, and it fit so well.
how he'd made Harry queer and given Malfoy and his goons one more weapon to hold over him and added another worry to Harry's life, as if it didn't have enough of them already, [...] and ten thousand new variables introduced, some of which could end up threatening Harry's life, because nobody had ever hesitated to look on everyone important to Harry as a potential hostage
Amazingly plausible,this train of thought. Original and interesting...and somehow reminds me of Molly Weasley's thinking. It adds another layer of authenticity, to feel he's inherited the worrying :D
If he was ever going to be anything, he was always going to be this: a shield on Harry's arm, a weapon in Harry's hand.
*tears prickle* Beautiful, Tolkienian ending. He's right; you make me believe it's inevitable.

Date: 5/26/04 11:51 am (UTC)I was hoping the "blacksmith's puzzle" thing wasn't going to be completely baffling.
And I love the idea of Ron with Molly's worrywart tendencies!

Date: 5/19/04 05:52 pm (UTC)When Harry kissed him, it was like that first sweet lungful of air when they took him out of the lake, and suddenly he was almost giddy with relief. He wanted to laugh at the inevitability of it. If he was ever going to be anything, he was always going to be this: a shield on Harry's arm, a weapon in Harry's hand.
This made me go Eee! and hug myself with happiness.

Date: 5/19/04 10:25 pm (UTC)I second/third/fourth what's been said above - this is a GREAT line:
If he was ever going to be anything, he was always going to be this: a shield on Harry's arm, a weapon in Harry's hand.
I also love:
...Harry didn't even know that Ron loved him, and he'd probably be safer if he never found out, but there was no other explanation for this that Ron could give him --
Ron's my favorite character in the books and it's great to see someone as talented as you writing him. Thanks!
