Sweet mistress of these dreams, share with me your schemes.
It's Saturday and I have absolutely nothing planned today. No games, nothing beyond making our Sunday brunch a day early. Tomorrow, I have games planned all day, so I wouldn't have time to cook it, so today it is. I got butterscotch chips to make pancakes with. I'm looking forward to trying it out. I use this recipe: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/21014/good-old-fashioned-pancakes/ which has been a family favorite.
Yesterday was back to work day. It wasn't too horribly busy which was nice. I spent the day trying to move people around. Then, I made grown up grilled cheese, which involved Boursin, goat cheese and granny smith apples. They turned out really tasty. No complaints from me. Or as Jess always says when they cook, "I'm not mad about it." Next time, I think I would put both the cheeses in the microwave for a few seconds to make them easier to spread. That was a little bit tough. But I got 6 sandwiches out of one round of Boursin and a little log of goat cheese, which wasn't bad at all. It was a little more expensive than some of my meals, but it was a good splurge.
Not sure what we're having tonight. I'm thinking maybe some chicken thighs in a nice creamy sauce with green beans on the side. Or over mashed potatoes. That is also possible. I had gotten some celery, so that and some onions garlic and herbs could give it a nice sauce. I think I also have a pound of baby carrots, so I could make up those, too. Oooh, or I could make a spicy Creole chicken. Yes, I believe I will do that. I've got the holy trinity for Creole food, so that should be good.
Tomorrow, I've got games back to back. I'm not DMing any of them, otherwise there's no way I could handle three games in a row. Jess is in two of the three, so they'll have a little break between 1 & 3.
Aside from that, not much going on. Yoda continues to throw an unholy temper tantrum whenever we're all in the living room. Not sure what to do about that. He frustrates the hell out of me.
Oh, we did find out about the lost 401k of my uncles. Sadly, it fell short of what I was hoping for, which was 60k. It ends up being about 29k split between my sister and I. We've decided that we're going to use it to pay off the rent for 6 months, and some bills and then put the rest in savings for emergencies. Seems like since they found it after dad was dead, it may come directly to us instead of the probate. That would be amazing.
Okay, time for me to go forth and maybe put on pants. Everyone have the very best Saturday!

I decided that we needed bread for the Creole chicken.
