lesson I learned today:
when you are grinding red peppers in your dads kitchen with an old coffee grinder,
make sure the damn lid is secured !
I sprayed the whole kitchen with a spray of pepper powder :-/
luckily I was wearing seafty goggles, and the goggles, they did something :-)
why, yes, I was working with seafty goggles and lab gloves,

Happy Saturday everybody. Y'all got anything good going on this weekend?
Sitting in the airport waiting for the flight.
I might came a bit early - two more hours of waiting... The catch is that this laptop batter won't stand longer than 30-45 minutes and there is no plug here.
Those might be my last messages to the world...
last apples for the winter are stored in the cellar
*yawn*
*yawn*
Good luck and you might be over here in time to just miss Strictly Come Dancing.
ETA 23:05... But I don't know if it is English or Polish time - if the flight lasting two hours and 20 minutes or 1 hour and 20 mnutes? I suspect that the former.
*yawn*
Well it's 6:50 pm now
And with clocks going back tonight an extra hour of sleep/.
I hope it will be worth it. Especially if I not only go out of debts but also get some surplus...

Sounds about right - the Gothenburg to Edinburgh flight is about two hours.
Battery seems to drop 5% every few minutes... And the actual battery count down seems to go dawn 10-15 minutes every few minutes.
Hee-hee. Cristiano Ronaldo got nutmegged.
Half of hour passed... Four halves still remain.
T -1 hour, 55 minutes.
good luck, Dreijk
have a save flight
Laptop shows 54%/40 minutes. At least when it is not showing 54%/35 minutes...
::::YAWN!::::
Was up until 4 this morning playign Skyrim, went to sleep, was attacked by the girl-puppy and awoken four hours later.
Puppy kisses are the best kisses.
I will nap today.
I do not like touchpad.
Turning laptop for now. Maybe I make use of notebook I brought and try to write some ideas on paper.
Small chances, honestly.
paper is good as long as you dont breathe open flame.

So, I must be more careful what I wish for.
I was saying recently that it would be fun to host some people for dinner, since I have not done enough cooking recently. Now I have to prepare dinner for 8 people tomorrow and I have no idea what to make.
It started out as just 4, so I was going to roast a chicken, but a chicken won't feed 8 people. Maybe I should just do 2 chickens. I think it would fit in my oven, but it could be a bit of a hassle.
Unfortunately, they are picky eaters, and I know some do not care for red meat. Otherwise, I would just fall back on a roast, which is easy to scale up for a large group.
And since it is a month until Thanksgiving, turkey is right out.

Ever tried Flying Jakob? (It's got bacon in it, but you can fry those on the side and have people add as they want.) Warning Includes peanuts.
It is.
Used to be our Sunday dinner favourite. It's a bit hard to do well in quantities for one, though. So it's been awhile since I had some myself. :(

Cornish game hens stuffed with wild rice and almond slivers on a bed of roasted vegetables. With these for dessert.
Enjoy cable right now. Shaun of the Dead, British Documentaries about the Tutors, some sci-fi of Blu-Ray. Saturday's pretty good.
Tutors. Typo'd Tudors or Educating Yorkshire?
Sorry.
Educating Yorkshire, did a quick youtube check. Looks promising.
Sorry.
No need. I was genuinely curious.
Educating Yorkshire, did a quick youtube check. Looks promising.
I know a lot of the Brits I follow on Twitter have been gushing about it.

We will be celebrating one of the guests' birthday, so there will be birthday cake. No need for cupcakes.
As for Cornish game hens... That sounds delightful, but I will need a lot of them for 8 people. I'm looking for big items, not small ones!
I have narrowed it down to 2 roast chickens or a recipe for stewed chicken pieces (again, from 2 chickens to have sufficient quantity).
Educating Yorkshire, did a quick youtube check. Looks promising.I know a lot of the Brits I follow on Twitter have been gushing about it.
Aye, I haven't seen much of it. But it seems quite funny & a librarian I know is friends with one of the teachers on it.
I hear you, CH. I just adore game hens because they're so easy and special. Get 4, cut them in half with poultry shears, roast and serve the rice - easy and impressive!
I always liked chicken cacciatore for stewing mass quantities of hapless fowl.

I'll need to make a playable version of the Girtablilu for one of my players tomorrow.
Mmm. Jambalaya this weekend, or at least my version of it. It's evolved a bit over the years since I first learned how to make it.
Did the grocery shopping today - I swear, every kid in the store had gotten a double espresso.
Good choice. Simple yet elegant.

Dragon has landed!
(and got from London to Norwich)
Awful. Planes and my locomotion sickness don't mix. At least it was only dizziness and headache instead of nausea.
And I forgot to buy aviomarin.
I don't know if there are train connection but there are bus connections. Take two and a half or three days instead of two hours...

Please share when you're done, I've been needing it for my setting as well.
Medium sized monstrous humanoid with no racial HD and ability scores more in line with other PC races?
Could probably still get away with making them Large, other than their natural weapons they'd still use medium equipment.
They'd be on the higher power end, likely, but I've made PC-level Driders (or Arachne as they're called in my setting) so I don't see why these couldn't be on par. Granted my Arachne have a +1 level adjustment (using the same wording as Noble Drow) but that's less their size and more their stat adjustments which are notably better than most PC races, deliberate since I wanted them to be advanced/elder forms of Aranea (which I also have PC-level versions of, without the level adjust).
