This is the song I'm singing -

This is based off of a recipe found here, which seems to be based off of a Jamie Oliver recipe -
http://intolerantchef.blogspot.com/2014/02/steamed-chinese-pork-buns-char-siu-bao.html

To make the dough -
1 tin coconut milk (coconut cream works, but the texture wasn't great.)
2 tins of a GFree flour
(1 tin rice flour, 1 tin half potato starch, half glutinous / sweet rice flour, 1/4 tsp of guar gum)
2 TB Oil or Lard

Dough should be soft but hold together.

I let the dough sit for about an hour with 1/2 tsp of yeast to give more flavor to the dough.

When the filling is done -
Knead in 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, some sugar to taste (1 tsp would be close to an authentic amount), pinch of salt.

Logan, elephants in the room, chatting with Beast.

( Hank was upside down - )

Logan talking about memories. Nothing objectionable. (Comic canon, and shoulda been canon - which is to say, trying to get a Logan who's not RARGH RAMBO.)

He wrote notes to himself. ( Well to be more accurate )

This is aiming for two things - a sticky 'firm' granola and a flavor that's similar to commercial granola bars (which tend to have rolled wheat of all things.)

1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup puffed millet
1 cup puffed rice

Heat the below ingredients until melted -

2 TB butter
2 TB brown sugar
2 TB barley malt sugar (adds a lovely nutty taste)
2 TB corn syrup (could use honey, but it will be tasteable)
10 mini marshmallows

Add 4 TB peanut butter and stir well. Mix with the dry ingredients and pat into a greased pan. Allow to cool and slice. I spread about 2 oz. of dark chocolate over the top for contrast.

Flavor is malty and nutty and pretty addictive. Due to altitude or whatever, this was a pretty dry mix, but at a lower altitude you probably can add up to 1/2 cup additions - rice bran, dried fruit, nuts, coconut flour, etc.

Hoshi wo Miru Hito - a terrible RPG, and remarkably so.


Verne World - A SNES rpg with some curious choices and a multicultural cast.


Dream Master - A NES rpg / exploration game with some nice sprite work.

And some others. Debating about doing a "Game in 30 minutes" kind of overview of an early game section. Should do it with other people though.

These are 'stodgy' to put it mildly, but crisped in a pan with butter they make a tasty starch to have with stews or sauce.

1/2 cup gluten free flour
1 egg
1/2 tsp xanthum gum
+ flour or water to bring it together.

"Unwelcome" Mary Elizabeth Coleridge

We were young, we were merry, we were very very wise,
And the door stood open at our feast,
When there passed us a woman with the West in her eyes,
And a man with his back to the East.

Tao is by VAP, which as best I can tell did mostly liscensed anime / manga adaptations. Usually of questionable quality. TAO is noteable for having an amazing cover of a guy in a red jumpsuit riding a dinosaur.

( Unfortunately, the game is terrible )

I was surprised to find out that the Wild ARMs series was a low budget one. While, yes, the graphics were never outstanding, the ways the game tried to be ambitious was. Let me try to list some hallmarks that I've seen in the series.

( The 'feel' of the games )

One person told me once that making a character do what you want in a story is like herding cats. Of course, this mostly is short hand for "the characterization of the character and the situation means that there isn't one simple path or one most interesting path." So, how, without changing the situation strongly or the character, can you herd a cat?

( For me, there's a couple of ways. )
