Maybe I should have named him Narcissus...

felis_lupusDay 2 with leetle feeshy... still swimmy and happy. Still cute. (I promise, this journal is not going to turn into 'here's 9 zillion photos of my fish! yay!') He's somewhat obsessed with his own reflection on the flat back of the aquarium, which I think I made worse or more mirrored with the addition of a dark background... opposite of intended effect... whoops. He is a beautiful little guy when he's in full display, though. The novelty of his reflection will wear off soon, I think. At least when the lights go out.
Body color is much more white in person; I think the flash probably illuminates his insides a little bit, and does weird reflective things anyway.
Completely unrelated, tonight's dinnertime experiment appears to be going well. J's mom got us a '10 and 12-hour Crockpot Cooking' book for Christmas, and J said to me a few nights ago "let's start with this one". Steak Roulade. Put it together this afternoon when I came home for lunch. Fairly simple; finely chopped celery, onion, and bacon, all rolled up inside thin beef rounds (flank steak was recommended online, but I'd already gone shopping and gotten itty bitty top round slices...), tied, and stuck to cook in a little bit of beef broth in the pot. Much smaller rolls, so I don't think it will take the full 10 hours... 8 should be plenty. Smells done now, which is making me hungry, but taste testing will be after I get back from the Province meeting, and he gets back from motorcycle pickup...
ETA: Post dinner- Was pretty tasty... OK flavor, a bit dry. Will try it again, maybe, with a proper cut of meat. I think it overcooked a bit in the crock pot because they were so small.
