Cooking stuff (temporarily inactive...)

 
Wednesday night is game night! More Wheel of Time. And this time is was my turn to host. We didn't just have tacos. We had TACOS. The best tacos ever. I didn't buy some seasoning packet for the meat - I used a recipe. And we fried our own taco shells too which are WAY better than anything you get in a box from the store. (It's also a pain in the butt since we had to fry 16 taco shells by hand, but it was worth it!) And it inevitably makes a huge mess in the kitchen...but they were soooo good.

And the actual gaming was really fun. Eric (GM) I don't think realized how difficult it is to run a campaign and occassionally he panics. There's tons of prep work, plus props, and then during play, he has to really think quick on his feet because he never knows what we'll do. We usually use Legos for props and miniatures - everyone has a little playing figure. (Secretly I think the guys use it as an excuse to buy Legos again - they really like the latest Harry Potter Lego sets.) Everyone "role plays", meaning we pretend to be our characters. And we don't always behave the way the GM wants us to. We have to be believably motivated before we'll do something. So the gaming was really fun because Chris and Jason are really getting into their characters - they're way too "giddy" about the whole thing...
