That, my friends, is the sound of Val falling back into the world after a heck of a morning. Actually, after a heck of a weekend.
Friday night,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
watermelontail came up and we made Ember Day Tarts. Yum! I'll post recipes later. Suffice to say, they are yummy, but I need to do mine (when I make them for me) with shallots rather than onions, and chopped fine. Just a personal preference.
Saturday was writer's group and then a surprise bachelorette party foraishabintjamil and peragrine. LOTS of food: I did a honey-glazed spiral sliced ham, the Ember Day tarts, Meatballs for the Convent, and Cheese Puffs. Why yes, I was trying out recipes. :) They all went over well, and we learned a valuable tip - serve the cheese puffs cold. They're pretty bland hot.
Sunday was meatball day. Mom, Dad and Mike came over and we made 378 meatballs (yes, we counted. Mom and I are like that.) I have to make about 2 lbs more of the meat, so I'll be doing that this week. My freezer was delivered and chilled right down, so the meatballs are in there as we speak. This week sometime, I'm SO going over to Yankee Food Market and getting some meat to fill it.
Also, we started making some characters for a new game. Yep, ready for this?
Second edition AD&D.
I will pause whilst you youngsters scratch your heads, and the older geeks nod in recognition.
Yep, we're playing AD&D. None of this new crap for us!argus7hills is running a cleric, I've got an elven mage (I know, I know), Dad's playing a half-elven ranger and Mike's got a paladin. We've got one, maybe two more slots open if folks want to play - it'll be once a month, on a Sunday. Let us know.
No real writing, obviously. I did write a lovely scene between Nikki and Teraisa that has been yanked in favor of violence. :) We will see the loveliness later. Just not now.
Wow, this got long. I'll do my to-dos this week in a different post.
