I believe I have mentioned before that I find a topic, obsess over it for a while, then totally forget about it. Right now, it is Baldur’s Gate 3. I bought the game right after it came out, along with a Steam Deck, played for about three weeks, and then my Steam Deck sat untouched…
When I was working on my master’s degree, I also had to learn how to use Chicago/Turabian citations. Before that, I’d had classes that required MLA and APA, but Chicago/Turabian turned out to be a whole different beast. No matter how hard I tried, I always seemed to lose a point or two because I’d…
Some days just don’t go very well. Some days seem like every attempt at anything at all just doesn’t work. Then you need a win. This doesn’t mean it has to be perfect…just something that sort of works. I needed a “brain break” (for lack of a better term) but I still wanted to practice…
I have had the worst time trying to learn how to crochet and/or knit. I can “cast on” (knitting), which goes on the needle in the dominant hand (in my case, the right). Then when you start the knit stitch, somehow I have to swap hands so the cast on needle is in my left…
A while ago, I wrote about why I think people misunderstand what Duolingo is actually good for. Apparently, I needed to start learning a fictional language to prove my own point. Three High Valyrian lessons in, Duolingo has already taught me two grammar rules without ever explicitly teaching me either of them. I wasn’t going…
This garden experiment/hobby/passion has shown me that the research never stops. I thought I had enough information to have a flourishing garden, with a dozen tinctures, infused oils, and teas in the making. But no. Right now, I have one oil and about half an ounce of tea. I do have some other herbs drying,…
One of the things I am most excited about is making paper to add to my shop. For now, I am using scraps straight from the paper shredder until I get better at this. First, I bought a cheap papermaking kit online. It is A4 size and came with a mold, a deckle, couch sheets,…
I bought cashews months ago because I wanted to make cheese. My favorite cheesemaker was ousted from her own company and they’ve decided just to stick to basic cheese spreads and butter. Just here for the recipe? Scroll down to “The Recipe.” So why not make my own? I took a basic recipe I found…
I won’t do the thing where you have to scroll past three pages about how my family has used this recipe for six generations and built an empire from it. But I still have to explain how I got here, so bear with me… I had four peaches that were getting way too soft, and…
