I have never been a meat-in-pastry fan. But like many things I thought I didn't like, it's about finding the right recipe and preparation to turn you into a convert. My meat pie gateway was turkey pot pie I made with Thanksgiving leftovers, which I further refined the next year based on my resdient pot-pie-lovin'-husband's requests.
Empanadas and hand pies fall into the same category. I have so...
We all know that nothing beats cardboard. Gaming is for many about the analog, tactile, physical experience here in meatspace, as a contrast to our increasingly digital worlds. But sometimes it is impractical (windy outdoor conditions, airplanes, etc), so digital versions can be a great boon. And the world of digital board gaming is getting exponentially better!

Apparently I did a shit job of blogging about my TRIP TO CLUB 33 IN DISNEYLAND! I wrote this short summary a week after we went, intending to get back to flesh it out and finish it to include Club 33 and never did! Oh past me...
Day 1 - Arrival

1 tsp salt
sliced hot pepper of choice if you like a little heat
Run your tap water ...
Going through paperwork today to get some old non-business filing taken care of, I came across this letter I wrote. As it says, I write letters to all the future forever families of our foster pups--included with a printed little "scrapbook" page of images of them--sharing personal tips on their behavior, needs, wants, etc, and sharing stories from their time with us. It is cathartic for me, but...
On BGG on FB someone asked this question, so I gave it a good think, and realized...there isn't just one game that turned me into a gamer. My family molded me into one since I was little.
