The brother and I are going to start
DM-ing a game of Fourth Edition Dungeons and Dragons in a few weeks. In typical
fashion, I've come at the challenge with lists and book-buying and Google Form
creation. To say I'm freaking out would be putting it mildly, but at the same
time I'm really excited.
Creating a world for yourself to
play in as completely different from creating one where other people are
supposed to come along and help make the story with you. What's particularly
interesting about DM-ing is that it brings with it a slew of "thinking on
your feet" that I usually only have to deal with when my characters start
running away from me. Or turning evil for no obvious reason.
Suffice it to say, I am making blog
posts instead of finishing my campaign because I am still trembling in my boots
about it.
And, because I am me, I am also
Procrastination Baking.
Here is my latest creation: Vanilla Cupcakes with a salted caramel frosting. The frosting turned out
a little too salty, but the cupcakes themselves were very tasty and the
recipe was pretty easy so odds are it's on the "To Make Again" list.
The links go to Chow,
a very cool website that sends me recipes on a daily basis. And sometimes those
recipes are delicious and sometimes they are pretentious, but they are always
fun.
Also, you will notice the tea pots
in the top pictures. Those are real teapots, filled with real tea. Tea is
wonderful and warm and the best afternoon pick-me-up ever. Plus, it takes a
little bit of work to make so even if you've done nothing else all day, you can
still think, "Well, I made tea" and it's something. Especially
loose-leaf because then you need to warm the pot before and let it steep just right
and use the awesome little Victorian strainer cup and put honey and milk in and
it's time-consuming.
...This has been an update on the baking and Tabletop front.
Tune in next time for more dithering, this time probably involving bread again
because I think I know the secret for why mine keeps coming out so dense...
