omg y'all I'm excited to cook the third and final steak in this pack - I've been cooking two or three at a time, then slowly working through the leftovers, but starting to think they haven't been cooking well due to overcrowding the pan. Doing them individually has worked out a lot better 😜

#DailyPictureTheme This is a card game that plays very much like Milles Bornes, except instead of drivers on a road trip trying to foil each other, you're rival pot dealers trying to sell the most #grass

Well, I'd have to say that went pretty well. It's also very tasty 😋

I'm still perfecting my pan sear on steaks* but my fancy new meat thermometer is going to help me get there.

The BT21 sauce is good. a bit sweet as well as just a bit spicy, this would be good for shrimp, also for beef and chicken, I'll probably try that soon. It has a slight sour taste, like a wine or vinegar element. I wouldn't eat these on their own, but it's a good base

Also the packaging is cute 👍

Looking forward to trying these noodles - I got a pack that has both BT21 seasoning and "Dream Team Scallion", which like what even is that. I like the A-Sha tainan noodles, which have a kind of stir-fry flavor, and go well with beef or chicken, but these are both new to me 😋

And when I say "stupidly large collection" I mean like thousands. Twelve plastic hardware bins full, plus more boxes of larger minis that don't fit in these drawers.

I really need to figure out something for these, I don't use them anymore, but I don't want to just throw them away 🤔

Plastic hardware bins filled with hundreds and hundreds of pre-painted plastic D&D mini figures

I have a stupidly large collection of #mini figures for tabletop roleplaying games .. it's been many years since I used them, and I've been thinking of starting to sell them off, or use them for some kind of art project, but for now they slumber in silence #SpoutibleScavengerHunt

Sunday. Still on low power mode, but feeling better (ish). Prepping for online MAZES RPG game, we skipped last session because I was sick, digging in today to get back on track.

Not much planned for later today, and that totally works for me. Maybe a nap. Maybe we'll finish Lost. Weekend 👍

I was hungry anyway, so I'm grabbing lunch at Creekside while I wait for my car. I picked the right time, there's barely anyone here, & I can sit out on the patio, under shade. It's nice to just be out again, but it's hard not to be mindful that this is a rare exception, not a return to normal 😞

Lunch in progress: steak fajitas with onions, no peppers

One thing I loved about working here was this small park adjacent to the Creekside shopping area, my co-worker and I used to take walks around the concrete path when the weather was nice. It's nice to just kind of chill in nature for a minute. If you play Ingress, there's a million portals here.

Back at some old stomping grounds, getting an oil change nearby and decided to wait instead of paying for a ride home, then back here. FB Memories tells me that, coincidentally, I was here two years ago today for an oil change. One of the two jobs I worked way back when was here, at Barrel & Boar 🤔

Long before I ever played #Fallout76 I played a lot of #FalloutShelter on my iPad. It’s got a nice balance of resource management, exploring, combat, and worker allocation, but beyond a certain size the shelter can get a bit unwieldy. Dusted off an old game to see how they’re coming along 👍️

I've been trying to spend more of my morning time back here in the fireplace room, instead of going right downstairs for morning YouTube. Looking forward to all the leaves coming in soon, I can pretend it is a mighty, untamed forest back there (instead of just .. more neighborhood)

The team visits the ancient ruins of "Manhatt", where the evil wizard Gemini uses magic to attack the heroes with the Statue of Liberty, shooting beams of fire from its torch 🍿

The main bad guy is literally two-faced, with one face always hidden by a moving face shield when the other is showing. He has one "normal" face that is sarcastic, passive aggressive, and snide; when the other face is showing, he's openly hostile. Of course his name is Gemini 🍿

btw Thundarr is set in 2294 AD, 300 years after the cataclysmic shift when a rogue planet destroys the modern-day civilization of 1994 🍿

Not surprised that the Thundarr DVDs are bare-bones, at least they let you choose between Play All or selecting individual episodes. Would have loved to see some animation or something to give this some life, but yeah. Thundarr 🍿
