This comic made me laugh for a solid ten minutes.
Check out Eunika’s new sword. Pretty cool looking huh?
Over the wekend I got in a group that killed a bunch of 50s and 60s range Epic bosses. Here’s a shot of us getting Rahotep for a heritage quest.
And here’s a shot of a dragon that we killed in some KoS zone who’s name I can’t remember.
You can see Dennika getting prepared for the pull there in the chat log.
I also made a bunch of bread today. A normal white loaf, a white loaf with kosher salt on the outside and a special creation.
It’s normal bread with sliced apple, cut up dried apricots and stilton cheese mixed in. I baked it in the tray we usually make peach cobbler in and I but a mixture of butter and brown sugar on top. It’s delicious.

So I’ve been baking a lot lately and yesterday Angela and I were talking about experiments I should try. We decided that my first one should be “Beef Stew Bread”. So that’s what I’m making today. Here are some pics of the stew and potatos and a loaf of bread I made yesterday.
The stew is in the oven and once it’s cooked down to a chunky paste I’m going to mix it in to the bread dough and make loaves out of it.
I’ve been writing all my steps and ingredients down too so if it turns out delicious I’ll post the recipe here.

UPDATE:
Doesn’t that look good? It’s almost ready to come out of the oven now.
Here are a few shots of the dough for the first loaf. It’s sitting in the bowl rising. Theoretically.
The yellow bowl really makes it look weird.
Here are some pics after it has risen the first time. It’s in the baking pan now and looks fantastic.
I can’t wait to eat a slice of this stuff 
Here are two shots of the first loaf in the oven. It’s been in there for about 20 minutes and has about 20 minutes left till it’s done.
The house smells SO DAMN GOOD!
Oh it’s done! Taste’s so good.
It’s nothing at all like I imagined it would be. The crust is crispy and has a sprinkling of kosher sea salt on it. The bread is very moist and there are both big chunks of meat and veggies and small ubiquitous pieces.
Recipe will be posted in a few hours.

So I made the most awesomest peach cobbler yet yesterday. I’ve started tweaking the recipe from the joy of cooking. I used fresh peaches (from the store not the farmers market, unfortunately) and I cut them in to slices and after they were in the dish I sprinkled brown sugar and cinnamon on them. Then I let them sit while I made the crust which takes about 25 minutes. I just make the biscuit crust. It’s simple and tastes really good. I’ve finally started to get the biscuit dough right! It’s supposed to be flaky but the first few times I made it the dough turned in to one big loaf. It’s strange casue I could tell that it was going to turn out right before I put it on the peaches because it felt different in my hands.
I’ve been writing a lot lately. I’ve been cleaning up and reworking a few old stories and a few new ones as well. I feel like I’ve finally grasped something about writing a story that I never got before. I can’t really explain it though. I guess that the most obvious change in my writing is that it’s 200% simpler. It’s more direct and to the point which makes it easier to read and understand. I’m quite happy with this and I wish I could post one of the stories but I intend to send them all out to publishers so I can’t put ‘em up on the web.
Angela wanted me to post this picture she drew yesterday.
Awesome huh?
