Mmmm I think that one looks better then the last. Sadly it still doesn't seem right without the pepperoni.
Sponge cake looks good too.
And that is the nekkid truth!
Hey Vid, I don't know if you saw it but I posted the other day that I tried out your french dip recipe. I think it could use some black pepper and a touch of garlic, but otherwise it's really good. Thanks for sharing.
Cool Glad you liked it. Yeah I forgot to say but I always salt and pepper it before I sear it and put it in the crockpot... I may add some garlic in their next time. Ya think just throw a few cloves in the pot with it?
Last time I made it I reduced the sauce down way to much but honestly that really only made it better I just ran out too soon.
I didn't think the searing made a big difference at first but I figured I'd try it and I was surprised at how much more tender the meat turned out. Its probably not as important for that recipe but I do it for all of the crock pot ones now.
Reducing the sauce really concentrates the flavor. I haven't gotten the perfect ratio yet. Where its concentrated and yet still enough to drench all the sandwiches.
My GF got me the Wow Cookbook for christmas last year and their are some good recipes in that one too a little exotic and so much more ginger then I'm used to using but overall not bad. Made a "Winterveil roast" yesterday in fact. which is basically a 3 lb top round with a red wine sauce. pretty solid.
Really she got it for herself so she could eat the stuff I cook but whateves.

I'll take that as "asleep".
Hey man, if I don't get my sleep I'm liable to run this whole thing ashore, so unless you want ants (because that's how you get ants) then you all can just deal with it.
Unless you have a bale of cocaine then I'm good for another 8-72 hours.
But you're paying for the rehab!
*yawn*

No, the only thing I yell is "Galt" and I gave that up months ago.
In fairness to Paizo, War of the Crown is everything I wanted for a Galt AP and more, so no complaints, just gotta tweak a couple things here or there to make it fit.
Of course, now I realize a lot of you new people might not be aware of the old GALT bit.
Little did we realize that the true playtest was the forum. It was never about mechanics at all!

My BF hasn't cooked for me yet...it's more like the other way round. Again you don't have to cook for me, you just need to feed me

Today, I went to the flea markets, bought ALL (DE) some tiles and myself a record after having a long chat about French prog with the man at the stall, saw some very nice swords which I couldn't possibly afford and a blunderbuss that wouldn't be able to travel back on the train, then visited a museum and looked at loooaads more swords, and then went to the Alexandre Dumas memorial. I also ate a horsemeat steak with a fried egg on top.

What does horse taste like exactly?

Sometimes, you just want to ask a GM, "Is this really what you intended?"
Over in the Crimson Throne forum, there's a player complaining about Scarwall being too hard. Why? Because the GM wanted a "gritty" campaign and banned any 9th-level casting classes (e.g., wizard, sorcerer, oracle, cleric, etc.)
So... that's all well and good, and doesn't bother me at all, until you run a dungeon that was specifically written with a ton of level and ability drains with the express assumption that the party would have at least one divine caster who could cast Restoration, and the AP even provides a second NPC divine caster, just in case.
It's like, "Er, Mr/Ms GM? If you've banned Restoration as a spell, don't you think you might want to cut back on the number of creatures who have no-save abilities that require it?"
Maybe the GM wants it to be that hard. I suspect it's more, "Well, this is what I envisioned, and if the players can't handle it they're obviously doing something wrong."
Impossible to tell without hearing from the GM...

Starfinder got rid of 9th level casters.
Speaking of Starfinder, The Reach of Empire, book one of Against the Aeon Throne is awesome!!

When I want a gritty campaign I throw a bunch of sand on the table.
This is easier to do now that I'm back to work again, just got to empty out my shoes.

For seven years in Contra Costa County, California, I was never summoned for Jury Duty. Guess what came in the mail today via USPS forwarding? I emailed the court office pdfs of my lease and employment contract. I'm guessing that will prove my disqualification.

Congratulations!
I hear jury duty in Texas is a LOT easier: You just have to be able to pronounce, "Hang 'em!" with the correct accent and vehemence.
And speaking of hating my fellow passenger...
So, I can totally understand why they're pretending to believe the 15-year-old's cock-and-bull story about Airdropping disturbing photos to the entire plane as "an accident"; you don't want to charge an idiot 15-year-old with a felony just for having bad taste and a sick sense of humor.
But allowing another passenger to bring a full 1.5 ounce bottle of pepper spray onto the plane? That's idiot passenger plus a concrete demonstration of just how incompetent security is.
All in one plane! At my local airport no less!

I ran Strange Aeons with 6th-9th level arcane spellcasting classes only. Investigators and alchemists count as arcane casters with their extracts. And the investigator felt infusion was a waste of a discovery so the party pretty much ran with bought scrolls of restoration and lesser restoration.
NPC cleric decided not to join them since the GM wanted to see how 6th-9th arcane casters would perform in an AP FOR SCIENCE!
I honestly don't feel sorry for them since they chose not to get that condition removal. Someone could have rolled a healing patron witch,or investigator could have taken infusion, but no, everyone wanted to top DPS charts.

Yeah it got mixed with Ikea meatballs and it took a while before people realized something was off.
Limey, donkey meat is also pretty good. Suggest you try it. It's a bit like pork, but leaner.

It's always fascinating how a tiny bit of additional information totally turns your opinion around:
D'oh!
If they're sleeping in the castle, they deserve what they get and then some. Holy carp! Have you read what you're supposed to DO to parties "foolish enough to sleep in the castle"?
I totally wanted to respond to the player's post with:

"So don't do that!"

I'm not a fan of ruining a party's resting place with anything other than random encounters.

Aren't Englishmen native citizens of United Kingdom shocked by the very concept of eating horses erroneously taking those animals for pets?

The whole narrative is centered around the corrupting influence of the evil within. I figure when you tell a group, "Yeah, this place is irredeemable evil that corrupts anything that remains within its influence" and their response is, "Cool! Let's sleep here!", then as a GM it's kind of your job to make them suffer the consequences.

Been burned by intentionally cruel DMs too many times to use that. I would just have them be attacked by ghost, specters and the like whenever they tried to sleep.

Oh, so when Nora kept sulking because she couldn't understand why we kept wasting time leaving Scarwall and coming back, there was actually a good reason?
Good to know.

I would totally offer to buy Norathar a beer or two. There are other characters I've played that I wouldn't want anything to do with.

I spent the week waiting for a surprise that Mrs Sunrise promised. When I came home from work on Thursday, she told me we were going to start training for a 5k. Before I could say "Sure honey, pull the other one...", my best old friend appeared out of nowhere.
Because she flew him in from NYC for the weekend.
I have the best wife EVAR!
