Xmas morning, made Eggs Benedict.

Growing up, I had French Toast with cream cheese and maple syrup. And I will occassionally go savoury and skip the maple syrup. But I prefer a pure egg and bread French Toast ... no milk in mine, so mine is more like bread wrapped in egg, so it's easier to hit a savoury note.

My go to is always a box of homemade baked goods for friends. So this year the current plans are: Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies. Link to a video where I got the recipe, this is a new one. Lemon Coconut Squares Pistachio Cranberry Biscotti (probably drizzled with white chocolate) Marshmallows...

Also, we often make oatmeal the day before and just reheat in the microwave in the morning.

"I claim this world as Arrako, capital of the Sol System" Or "Now ... am I going to find Protheans or Shadows here?"

I bought the Starjammer box set, that was the last official WotC purchase. That said, I am planning on getting the new PHB, and would have bought the Deck of Many Things if it had come earlier.

I debated doing a ranking of Doctor Who Christmas Specials, but tbh, a lot of them are kinda forgettable or are barely about Christmas and use it as just a setting, but I'd agree that this is my favourite as well. I like that it leans into we're just doing A Christmas Carol here, but has some...

A lot of my issues with P2 are not going to be touched by the remaster. I still find it needlessly complex and was unfun to play

This is easily my favourite, we wore out the VHS of it as kids. This one and the animated Grinch were the specials we had to watch, and for years, I'd sing "We Three Kings" like they did in the special. So, Claymation and Grinch are 1 and 2 for me. I think 3 ... conceptually would be a Doctor...

Okay, new challenge ... anyone want to stand up for Fear Her? Or The Idiot's Lantern? Tennant's first year had a few stinkers I don't care to revisit, didn't Rose encourage a boy to go back to his abusive father? While I'd rather have given someone new a spin at running Who, I am interested to...

From The Doctor's Wife: The Doctor : You know, since we're talking with mouths, not really an opportunity that comes along very often, I just want to say, you know, you have never been very reliable. Idris : And you have? The Doctor : You didn't always take me where I wanted to go. Idris : No...

They are, but I have had success with them, so it was frustrating to have two failures with two recipes that are not new to me. That said, feeling better and like I have my mojo back, so to speak. Tried out a new recipe for Lemon Coconut squares, and made a batch of cream puffs that came out...

Alan Wake 1 has been sitting in my steam library for ages ...

Well, my faith in my baking skills has been shattered. I generally make french macarons for gift packages, and Mom likes my homemade marshmallows. And both came out poorly. The macarons didn't rise, they cracked. The marshmallows lack the pillowy texture and are almost rubbery. Supposed to make...

That's true. Big things in space to shoot ships across the galaxy, powerful unknowable attacking aliens, felt lacking in any character or pizzazz.

Same. TBH, the game trailer that was unveiled felt like generic space opera with a twist of Interstellar.

TIL that. Honestly, between group checks and at least one PC tends to have expertise in Perception, I barely bother hiding things anymore.

... Without double checking the rules, my inclination is to say no, because for me, a passive score is not a check. It's why a beast with "keen senses" that gives advantage on checks doesn't have a higher passive perception. Only an active roll would work with Primal Knowledge.

I do love when the Doctor's own nature is used against him. It was intensely creepy in Midnight and here it's also pretty good. Ask the Doctor not to think? Ha. Overall, a good, tense episode.
