Ground Rice Under Fingernails

Ugh! 'Nuff said.

Also, what's happened to good old greaseproof paper? All recipes call for these days is baking parchment.

Is this some kind of class (note, that's a short "a" sound, none of this cl-arse-ss-ing around in this blog) thing? Is greaseproof paper somehow non-U? Or is baking parchment actually better. In a practical sense, that is. I'm sure it thinksknows it's better.

The Empire Grows

So, now, I'm informed, there's Carcassonne: The Tower (and the ravens haven't nabbed The River II yet).

I reckon there's a good weekend's worth of game play in the original plus the expansions (let alone Hunters and Gatherers plus its wee expansionette). It's worth considering now we're neat and tidynot in a complete state of chaos.

Oh, and since I forgot in earlier posts today...

... cluck!
