I have just found £160 in an old wallet that ive not used for 6 months.
Although it’s not really a win, the wife said we can use it to pay for paint and decorate the living room.
Note to self, don’t be so open when finding spare cash!
I haven’t died yet. My house isn’t on fire.
Cleaned out the office in preparation to making it our sons room. He is 1.5 years old and needs a real bed and a room soon.
I’m baking an icecream cake for the first time and it seems to be going really well!
My quiche turned out great! 8/10, it did feel like a little win. The main issue was too much filling making it feel too heavy. I’m going to share the fixed recipe here:
Ricotta and spinach quiche, serves 2 with leftovers
- a 30cm large disc of puff pastry
- veg oil
- 1/4 medium onion, diced
- 100g fresh spinach, shredded
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp milk
- salt, pepper, nutmeg to taste (seasoning)
- (30g? eyeballed) Parmesan cheese to taste, grated
- 120g ricotta, crushed
- a dozen cherry tomatoes
- Shape the pastry inside a cake or pie pan. Make sure that there’s enough pastry to get a nice border. Leave it in the fridge for now.
- In another pan, cook the diced onion with a bit of veg oil, until translucent. Add spinach and quickly cook it until wilted; then let it cool enough so the eggs don’t get cooked in the next step.
- Whisk together eggs, milk, seasoning; add them to the pan. Then add the crushed ricotta and some (not all) Parmesan cheese. Mix everything well.
- Spread the mix over the puffed pastry. Sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan cheese over it, and plop the cherry tomatoes.
- Gently fold inwards the border of the puffed pastry, over the filling. It’s optional, I just think that it looks nicer this way.
- Bake it in a [important!] pre-heated oven at 180°C, until the filling is set, the top is golden, and the cherry tomatoes are slightly wilted. This should take half a hour or so. Let it rest and serve.
I am finally playing a ttrpg again. I am running a d&d campaign for 4 students in the high school drama club. They are all new to RPGs and it has been super fun teaching them to play. I went to high school with one of their father and he played in my games back then.
Drama students would be fun to run for. It’s a great way for them to practice all kinds of useful skills. What kind of game are you running for them? What are they playing?
DND 5e in a world of my own making. Although after we started i realized i should have used Pathfinder, a system i have wanted to learn myself.
There are 4 of them, one had to drop. Wood elf ranger, war forged monk, changeling rogue, and a kenku bard (whoo always fails his stealth rolls, and has the greatest excuses for the failures).
Honestly, for a bunch of drama students you probably should have used World of Darkness
Pathfinder 2e is great, but the crunch can be a bit much for some kids’ first foray into RPGs. 5e has more mass appeal for sure. That sounds like a fun group! Are you playing a published adventure or going full homebrew?
