I wasn't planning on it, but I ended up making bacon wrapped almond stuffed dates for the neighbors. The fridge died, so I suddenly had 20 pounds of grass fed beef and 2 pounds of bacon to cook Right Now. My awesome neighbors lent me fridge space, so I gave them some snacks!

And here is the second half of the out of date update. Pictures behind the cut! ( Read more... )

I have a lot to catch up on. Here are a couple. ( Read more... )

A little while ago and picked up some supplies for an earthquake/emergency kit. I ordered a couple of handcrank/micro-USB emergency radios so I think I can now check it off.

I spent some time with Mike last week, playing Arkham Horror. I do love AH, even if it is the most ridiculously over the top Ameritrash game ever. We didn't finish, and it wasn't looking so great for us, but it was still a good night.

On Halloween we watched the classic silent film Nosferatu. Pretty much everything you hear about it is true. It is well done, there is great work done with lighting and establishing shots, Max Schreck is creepy. On the down side, it has several slow points that don't hold your attention well. Overall, well worth watching.

I recently finished catching up with the History of England Podcast. I've been enjoying learning the stories behind some of the names that I knew, like King Cnut, Elanor of Aquitaine and Richard Cœur de Lion. It starts with the Roman retreat, and he has made it as far as the beginning of the reign of Edward III, in 104 more or less weekly episodes. You can tell the guy doing it is having a lot of fun and is really into the subject matter, with just a bit of goodhearted pro-Angle and anti-Franc bias. The first few episodes are a bit rough, but he quickly brings up the quality. He focuses a bit more on the major nobility than I would like, but does dip into major social currents and the life of commoners from time to time. If you're interested in history, particularly the stories of the nobility, check it out.

I made a dress for someone a while ago, but the first time they wore it was this past weekend.

I modified the pattern a bit to fully line the bodice and, of course, adjust for her height. She is very happy with it, which is great. It took more work that I was expecting, mostly because of the number of pieces in the bodice. But still, it was worth it.

I went to Muir Woods last weekend.

It's an odd experience. On one hand it is a storied park, full of overpoweringly tall trees that have seen so many centuries.

On the other hand, it is a big tourist destination and very crowded.

On the gripping hand, I got to see it with these great people.

I'm glad I went, but I would like to find a less crowded forest.

aquestrian and I worked on several of our common items recently:

#7 - I've not made pickled anything before, so this was a new learning experience. It was easy!

#9 - Pepinos are tasty! I'd like them in a fruit salad, or maybe on a green salad like tomatoes.

#26 - I picked Lynn and Lu's for brunch, based on the Yelp reviews. It had good, inexpensive food, and feels like one of those small town places that has been there forever. Probably because it has.

I've been in an odd sort of minor funk the last couple of weeks, casting about trying to figure out what was wrong. Yesterday I had the perfect prescription to clear my head of the worst of the emotional static and this morning I realized what I need to do. I needed a list. A big list, containing lots of smaller sub-lists. So, on to my list.
