Any chance of a recipe for the vermicelli and chicken salad please?

Of course - as much as I am able to (not usually using recipes myself...) Briefly: 

Salad: In the simplest form, just vermicelli, green salad, carrot, coriander and chicken - optional extras include onion, chilli, sliced ginger and roasted peanuts

pour boiling water on top of vermicelli, stand 5 min, drain

shred crunchy salad green (such as iceberg lettuce, especially inner parts) into thin shreds

grate carrot coarsely 

shred cooked chicken into pieces

add roughly chopped coriander

slice red chilli and/or ginger into thin slices (chilli can be mild or hot or both)

slice red onion into thin wedges

mix -  add peanuts

Dressing: There are myriad of recipes for Nuoc Cham, and for example this and this look quite OK. In practice, on a busy weekday evening I just do this:

chop coriander roots and stems

chop red chilli (hot)

chop garlic 

pound all above with a mortar and pestle (or crush or crunch by any means to bruise and smash them)

add squeezed juice of 1 lime

add sugar until quite sweet (palm sugar if you have, but white sugar or even Splenda is OK)(Splenda dissolves immediately, with sugar you may have to first dissolve it in some hot water) 

add splashes of fish sauce until suitably salty

add a bit more water

I know - no amounts! Not how many, what weight, what volume... 😳Until it’s enough??? For the dressing, the links give some notions at least...

Below an image of the dish, except this version was made with fine slices of flash-fried kangaroo meat instead of chicken.

1.       Of the fics you’ve written, which isyour favorite and why?

My favourite fic of mine is Adriftbecause it’s the one I’ve put the most thoughts and effort into. Also, I thinkit’s the most original of my stories. Before that, my favourite fic had alwaysbeen the one I was currently writing, which is always a good thing since itkeeps you interested in your work. It’s the first time I keep preferring a ficeven after it’s completed. My second favourite fic of the moment is theSummoning though! I’m really excited about all the things that are going to happen in it! Ifind the magical aspects of the story exciting. It’s something I have neverdone before. :D

they look fabulous, hats off to the chef!

Mmmmm I need these!

9. What are the best things about your current fandom?

Thanks for asking!!! When I reblog this kind of post I use to think no one is going to ask anything LOL. 

1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?

As we say in the acknowledgements of the fic, it all began when Kitamere received a flower crown and a letter from Sandor Clegane, and it’s true! I bought Kit a flower crown in a medieval street fair I went to two years ago because I though she would like it. Instead of sending it alone, I wrote a letter from Sandor where he tells how it’d be if he’d had given Sansa the crown of love and beauty when he won the tourney of the hand. Sansa answered that letter, then Sandor… and what began as a private exchange, ended up as a whole fic. 

2: What scene did you first put down?

Ohh, this is such a lovely question!Well, @s-u-w-i is really talented; I’m in love with their illustrations of The Hobbit, especially this piece: Gold SicknessThe details are stunning, and I love how you can actually feel the tense atmosphere. Another one is @ghostbees; who does amazing illustration of Sherlock Holmes&C like this one, but also of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell like this. The colours are always perfectly choosed, plus the lines are so so neat.

Ah yes, special mentions to @chelidonart with her ‘The Dead Romans Society’ and to @stridingcorgi with her project ‘The Last Bacchae’.
