Jack of all trades

Added the Halloween version to Welcome To. It's fun!

I don't think I've had British scones before so I can't compare, but these were tasty and rose a lot. Now I just have two versions of pie crust left for the case studies (and cheesecake but I have no interest in trying that).

My city in Everdell and my family tree in Legacy: The Testaments of Duke de Crecy. Both are really fun worker placement & tableau building games. Especially in Legacy I think the building part is more fun than worrying about scoring well.

Put off my other activities and finished book 3 over the weekend. I liked this one a lot!!

I think it's been about 15 months since I started the dragon fruit from a cutting and now there's a flower! I have never fully appreciated from pictures just how giant these flowers are.

I'm pretty pleased already with GF pancake mixes and also masa flour pancakes but this from-scratch recipe was very good and worked just fine (although I'm still working out the proper heat levels for the griddle pan on my stove so I don't burn them).

Two set collection painting games with otherwise different mechanisms. I'm still a bit unsure on the Bob Ross game but the theme still makes me laugh. I like Atelier although I don't love the area control for resources.

I was not super successful with the southern biscuits (maybe a bit under-baked in the middle?) but I never really mastered the gluten version either. However, they did taste quite good with some extra butter.

Cat Lady and Sushi Go Dice have some similar scoring mechanisms and I like both as relatively easy to teach & play games.

I like Cover Your Assets, Quiddler, and Five Crowns as simple set collection games that can be played with larger groups.

Played three deck building games and one new roll n write. I always forget how much I like Dominion and Dice Forge until I play them. I still fail miserably at Friday, however. And so far the Super Skill Pinball seems fun! It actually makes more sense than real pinball.

It's the time of year where I don't need to spend much time in the produce section of the grocery store.
