Ha! Nice. *hug* Sleep well.

Dream sweet.

You too when you do get home.

zzthump

Anyone else still around?

I’m aroundish

Still?

Pie? 🥧

Oo yes. How goes?

Not too bad, re-reading the Year of the Lotus books, and I gotta say ghosts be getting all up in corpses over in asia. Between the Kue-Jin and Hsien anyways..reading Dark Kingdom of Jade right now

*Nod* I was never able to get into the Asian stuff, unfortunately.

From what I have seen, it feels like a bit of shoe-horn on the part of oldWW.

I mean, they introduced some interesting mechanics but it's all a little esoteric -especially kindred of the east- compared to disciplines and bloodpools etc. They do a decent job of trying to make a uniform cosmology based off of different folklores but it does end up with some things seeming redundant (How are Kue-Jin made? Spirits enter a dying body. How are Hsien (fae) made? A different kind of spirit enters a dying body).

I spent a little time over in Okinawa, and I want to run a couple stories there, got randomly inspired a couple nights ago

Yes. I lived in Japan a few years, and loved it, but I didn't recognize much in the skimming I did on the CtD side of Lotus.

There isn't much, which is why I'm soaking it ALL up.

True, it was a small branch of the tree.

Yaaaawn

*YAWWWWWN*

mmm

*nod*

Oatmeal with apples, walnuts, cinnamon, & brown sugar.

Oooo... I love toaster strudel.

blueberry

Nice.

My oatmeal is good.

I like real oatmeal

esp with maple syrup and cinnamon

and milk, because, well..

Yes.

We need more maple syrup.

yes!

I have a good stash

This was rolled oatmeal, not steel cut; I needed to eat it this morning.

PA is a maple state

*G*

Meyersdale, where stepmom lives, has a HUGE maple festival every spring

pro tip - for baking, or oatmeal, use the grade B stuff

or cooking in general, I made a pretty awesome maple-glazed porkchop with it, too

*nod* We buy... um.. whatever's in the store. *nod*

FL cannot have decent syrup

now, while native pride has me defending PA syrup... VERMONT has a whole damn culture. You can get tasting flights.

*Nod*

We can import decent syrup.
