Well, that was weird.

About Me

I am accustomed to sleep and in my dreams to imagine the same things that lunatics imagine when awake.

   There is now a Star Trek version of Settlers of Catan.

   According to Board Game Geek

   The one new element in Star Trek Catan compared to the Settlers version is a set of character cards, each featuring one of Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Sulu, Scott, Uhura, Chekov, Chapel, Rand or Sarek. Each character card has two special powers that the holder can use on his turn, such as a forced trade.

   Comes out in March

   That means I have a month and a half to act like I didn’t pee pee my pants pants when I found out this news. 

   WELP. BYE BYE LATE 20’S. ITS BEEN NICE KNOWIN YA. SEE YOU GUYS NEVER. Unless you want to come over and play that is.

4. Changes…

   In the past 9 months, Rory & I have been a little too happy. Gaining 12lbs for me, 50 for him kinda happy. So, we’re starting a diet together tomorrow. Our goals are to lose what we gained, strengthen the upper body (Rory) and firm up the abs (me). I’m going to try and chronicle this as we go; feel free to share in our pain. ;)

   Watching Rory play SWTOR. He loves it so much, and I get to learn new strategies so I can be a better healer when we play together.

9. side note:

   I think I’ve figured out the source of my strange dreams. Reading Stephen King’s Dark Tower series right before bed & listening to Rory play SW:TOR all night.

10. Memory soup

    Winter always seems to bring soup season. Even here in the desert where it rarely gets cold enough for it to truly feel like winter, I start making soup. As soon as the calendar ticks October, I get out the stock pot and start pulling the leftover summer veggies from the freezer.

    Making soup always dredges up childhood for me; memories of my parents making soup on the wood stove that heated our little house, homemade bread baking, and the smell of rain. Damp boots lined up behind the stove, reading while cuddled under afghans with our cats, and doing schoolwork under our parents’ watchful eye. Looking back, I realize that we ate so much soup in winter because we were dirt poor. Mom was a waitress who had been raised by her great-gramma, so she was incredibly thrifty & resourceful. Dad had grown up during the 50’s, and he’s never lost the “we just have to get it done, regardless of how hard it might be” attitude.

    And that’s what fed us when times were lean. My parents grew, hunted, or saved everything. And I mean everything was used; from the tops of celery that added flavor to soup or spaghetti right down to the bones from the Christmas ham or Thanksgiving turkey that became soup stock. Those habits have become ingrained in who I am; I save celery tops in my freezer, boil down every bone from roasts, hams, or turkeys, and I’m looking into starting a container veggie garden in the backyard of my rented house. And then…I make soup.

    With those memories dancing through my mind, I decided to make soup today.

    Potato-Ham Chowder

    3c milk
    2c chicken broth
    1 bunch celery, chopped
    1/2 lb carrots, peeled & chopped
    1/2 lb cooked ham, diced
    1 medium onion, diced or chopped (as you prefer)
    5 small potatoes, washed & chopped. Skins left on.
    4c mashed potatoes

    Seasonings are all to taste:
    garlic powder
    celery salt
    cumin
    sage
    Oregano
    salt
    pepper

    All liquids in the pot, medium heat. Once slightly boiling, add all other ingredients, starting with the mashed potatoes. Stir well after each addition, making sure the mashed potatoes break apart as this is your thickener instead of the traditional flour.

    Continue to cook on medium low heat for 2hours, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.

    Serve with fresh bread or biscuits.

11. In short…

    I’ve been having strange dreams lately; weird snippets of alternate realities both waking and sleeping. Going to attempt to get them all here as my Kindle is always within reach. And with that, I am going to crash for tonight. Perhaps I shall have some new riotous adventure to share with the dawn.
