Yesterday I made homemade jam for the first time. One of my goals this year was to “can some food” and I’d like to think I successfully accomplished it. Making the jam wasn’t difficult at all and it was way faster than I thought it would be (20 minutes on the stove!). I had strawberry…

D&D, hanging pictures, and light
Today I listened to some of our D&D sessions. I got one done and listened to 30 minutes of another. Although it does take time, I like going back and listening to our sessions. We say some funny things and take some creative actions. I think playing Dungeons and Dragons helps boost creativity. It's always…
Cornbread waffles, Katie, and geekery
Yesterday we made cornbread waffle grilled cheeses for dinner. Fancy, right? It was very easy to make - make the cornbread batter and pour it in the waffle maker for 5 minutes. Once the cornbread waffles are done put cheese on them and grill. We got the idea from this recipe (although we used boxed…
Spices and cats
On Thursday I took a half day so I could spend some time with Dana and Kaitlin. We had lunch at Kaitlin's house and hung out for a bit. I forgot to bring my camera so no new pictures of EG (but not to worry, I'll see her tomorrow!). She is now a little over…
Games and D&D – what else?
This weekend was spent playing games and watching Acquisitions Inc (D&D show). I can proudly say that I won the Civilization 6 game I was playing. It was the second game I finished (I've started many others) and was pretty fun. I played Brazil and won via the Science Victory - aka creating a colony…
Star Wars, Civ 6, and D&D
I watched the new Star Wars movie with Gene and Elisabeth yesterday. Although many know I'm not a Star Wars fan, because Gene wanted to see it and we had a Fandango gift card, I took part in the outing. For a non-Star Wars fan, the movie was okay. The fight scenes were definitely the…
Halloween activities
On Wednesday, the ladies and I carved jack o lanterns. I haven’t had much success as an adult carving pumpkins so I usually don’t do it but I was in the spirit this year and decided to give it a go. I chose what I thought would be a relatively simple design: the dragon, Toothless,…
D&D session
We played Dungeons and Dragons yesterday and it was so much fun. I laughed so hard a couple of times, it was so enjoyable. Pippin tried to join in again, but inevitably he causes problems so Sidney had to eject him from the table. Next week Sidney has a one-off Halloween-themed D&D session planned for…
Dungeons and Dragons – a poem
Of bated breath and crossed fingers, Of whisperings and shouts, Of languages and swearing. Numbers dictate fate And gods’ whims are answered by obedient, or not so obedient, followers. Dwarves carve cities from mountains and elves hide themselves in woods filled with age and mystery. Thieves steal from dragons, gnomes dream of gems, and magic…
Happy Friday
It’s Friday and I’m having a great day! First, I got approval to go to a Dungeons and Dragons high school club next Wednesday. I am so uber excited. I was watching this high school’s back to school video and when they mentioned they had a D&D club I almost burst out of my seams.…
