A post a day keeps the tapeworms away!
So I'll make a quick one about food and miniatures!
I took some quick snaps of the modded-up tiefling paladin with K's much nicer camera. You can see them here. I'm very happy with the results, overall, especially the horns. Those were a pain in the tuckus. As I get more interested in doing small details with minis, I want the sculpting tools and a magnifier and light for my third hand.
OH! Also, I applied for a job at school, just doing computer lab stuff, but it's a little extra money and I can work on homework (or game stuff) while I'm there. Score! I'm only starting at 9 hours a week, but that little bit extra will be a big help.
Food! We've made some excellent food lately! Made a great lamb curry last night. It turned out particularly well considering I had to do a little fudging with some stuff. Very tasty!
I've also been getting more bold with those dried ghost chilies that I bought in Seattle. I've added small bits of peppers to curry or chili, but not more than about 1/3. I like spice, but I'm reluctant to spoil a dish by making it inedible. Thankfully, K and I are both spice lovers, so I don't have to tread quite so carefully. I chopped one up and added it to the spicy coconut pork chops I made Monday. Definitely added a good amount of heat, but not on the level I was expecting from the YouTube videos, in fact it didn't even reach the point of some delicious spicy soup K made last week, which was deliciously and uncomfortably spicy.
So be prepared to hear a horror story where I find the magic amount of ghost chilies that can be ingested without going insane as I hop right past it. The subject for that post will likely be: My eyes are bleeding: a haiku.
It looks like it's about as warm and sunny as it's likely to get today, so I'm going to go do a bit of yard work while I can. I will leave you with this.
