It always sounds ridiculous to say “I won’t ever do it another way again!”, but Instant Pot mashed potatoes are the best texture and flavor I have enjoyed in....I dunno how long.
There is really nothing to it, like most everything in an IP. The reason they are awesome is that they *pressure steam* instead of boil, so there is no extra water introduced to the potato watering down the flavor and t...
This is a hat pattern I have made many many times as gifts for friends and for myself. I went looking for the pattern today and the website is gone. I was able to capture the pattern from a Wayback Machine impression of the old website, and am posting it here to preserve it! Credit to the crafty gal who made it, Jessica Suzanne, and is a modified version of Bobble Beauty by Dot Matthews.
I made...
So it turns out Winnie. LOVES. clothing. I am in the “I prefer not to dress up my dogs” camp, outside of practicality. So our dogs wear coats in heavy rain and snow and the like. And I think dressing up dogs can be really cute, and don’t judge anyone else for dressing their dogs. But ultimately, we avoid it for the most part.Enter Winnie’s untenable mats at her last hair cut. We normally keep her ...
Considering an entry into the VR space? We ended up with PSVR...For us, we don't PC really, and weren't interested in getting a dedicated gaming PC and set up and the extra $800+ that would cost us. We also have a small living room so a large surround-experience footprint wasn't going to fly anyway. So we got the PS VR and have been loving it. The titles are more limited, naturally, because it i...
Was musing on the idea of reverse racism the other morning and woke up to pen this...
Reverse
racism doesn't exist for the same reason reverse sexism does not exist:
they are not opinions or attitudes; they are ingrained systems in our
culture which favor one group or class of people over another. It is an
imbalance in power such that if you are a member of the group in power,
you enjoy ...
Like every vacation for me, the midway point is when I start to feel a little sad. Instead of the entire thing ahead, there is Limited Time. So, too, with PAX. There is simply so much to see and do and four days never feels enough.
Today was upside down day. We started at the Olive 8 having brunch and
decoding some PAX XP clues, then playing games in The Hotness. Got to
try Dice Forge, Ding...

Today, Janet Taylor (formerly of FCBD and now an ATS free-agent, as it were) posted a blog about why she currently favors the audition process when assembling a tribal bellydance troupe. It's a thoughtful perspective, and clearly a very personal one based in specific past experiences--give it a read. I particularly resonate with her assertion that the audition as a form of mutual discussion ...
Bookkeeping for Dummies, indeed.
Why does Shay hate bookeeping? Let me count the ways.
For years I used Quickbooks, but it was way too much for my needs and very expensive to keep updating.
Switched to Quicken Home and Business, which required me to use Parallels or some other dual-boot/emulator program to run a Windows environment since they don't make it for Mac. It was great...
Thanks to Andria Wood's post on Facebook about buying ALL THE THINGS, I mused today about how we track our game collection. I wonder: do other gamers track their Wall of Shame, and if so, how?
A night at Cafe Mox where me and
mah gurlz met a sweet Swede. Memories!
I use the BGG interface to track plays, purchases, wishlists, etc. (when do we get the whole website updated??! PLEASE OH ...
Lovely day at ComicCon, and then ended strange and sad. We came home via Uber, and there was a black car parked in the street, still running with lights on, in front of our neighbors across the street. We assumed it was another Uber picking up or dropping someone off, so we thought nothing of it.About 15 minutes later I notice it's still there, still lights on. Strange, but..they aren't breaking a...

Did you know Monopoly was originally invented by a woman?
Ah the fun of being a woman in the board game world!
Often there are discussions opened which explore the experiences of women in the world of gaming. I see these across the spectrum--in video games, console games, and board games--and there is always this impressive push back from a certain segment of men. I don't know why it is such a...
