2 Doctor’s Visits Tomorrow
I’ve been writing again. A lot lately, trying to finish plotting out a story.
Continue reading “Of Pulled Pork and Plotting”What’s your favorite time of day?
My favorite time of day, right now, is evening. Late evening to be specific.
I like it when the sun has finally set and almost everyone is asleep.
What’s your favorite recipe?
My favorite recipe to cook is my stuffed shells. I have the recipe posted here.
My favorite beverage to make is called “Kiss the Floor”, in which it’s equal parts Zero Sugar Sprite and vodka, some blue raspberry martini mix, and a splash of grenadine.
My favorite thing to bake is soft and fluffy snickerdoodles!
At least two of my siblings would love for me to ship them some. Maybe I’ll do that this winter. Minimal baking while it’s still hot out.
Tell us about the last thing you got excited about.
At the moment? It’s a lovely little date night with Mac: Steak N’ Shake burgers for dinner, a trip to the local nerd haunt for some new dice, Ritter’s root beer flavored gelati, and a few hours playing Diablo IV with them.
