Made fancy fucking Jell-O shots for dessert that were basically all the components for a French 75 — Prosecco, gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and gelatin. Topped with pomegranate arils. #dogsearmenu

Fun night out with old and new friends. Life is weird and great.

Hanging out with the Top 8 Magic squad like it was the mid 2000s.

Took a scoop of the frozen gingersnap-pumpkin pudding and put it between two more gingersnaps and now people are just getting mini “ice cream” sandwiches at my dinner parties forever.

This season of STRANGER THINGS is giving off some early Magic vibes.

Officially reached the end of the leftovers.

Made Karla’s Aunt Ginger’s turkey croquettes; mashed potatoes, stuffing, turkey, gravy, and shredded cheese with fresh herbs. Breaded and shallow fried. Served with a dipping sauce made from cranberry sauce and Dijon mustard.

My go-to holiday dessert is a hybrid of banana pudding and icebox cake that is super simple. This one is pumpkin and gingersnap. Not very pretty but pretty delicious.

Is a soup a mocktail? And other burning Black Friday questions on the #dogsearmenu

Made my first from scratch turkey noodle soup from the bones of yesterday’s bird. I am not sure why I didn’t do this sooner. Very easy and incredibly soul satisfying.

Received a lovely surprise in the mail today from @tolariancommunitycollege.com that might be borderline psychic since I was really cold and looking for a clean hoodie not 10 mins ago.

Look up mensch in a dictionary and you will find a picture of him.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Brian!

Finally!

Made a variant of the previous cocktail but this time the only ingredients were four roses and a single barrel.

Super happy with how it all turned out today but highlights were the super crispy skinned turkey; cherry-mandarin-cranberry sauce; shaved Brussels sprout salad with apples and pecans; and cornbread stuffing.

No more food until 2026 please.

The Mist Me — Bourbon, Cointreau, pomegranate juice, and miso-maple syrup with a splash of lemon brine. Garnished with a dried orange wheel and fresh pomegranate seeds. #dogsearmenu

I wasn’t planning on making a pomegranate cocktail today but then was struck by how they are the most murdery looking of all the Thanksgiving ingredients.

Watch this space!

IT IS ON A RAMPAGE!

Making my orange-cherry-cranberry sauce right now!

Narrator voice: Nobody was, in fact, surprised.

We found a happy game group for the one of a kind hand drawn Bleargh. After the winning ticket was pulled they took part in the demo and had a great time.

We are contributing the coolest thing to the Top Deck Games raffle at 3pm here at #PaxUnplugged

@demondramon.bsky.social drew a 1 of a kind jumbo-sized version of Bleargh — one of the cards from my new game @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social

My morning view before the final day of #paxunplugged and showing off @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social to the world.

Drinking bourbon in Philly.

Doors to Day 2 of #PaxUnplugged just swinging open. Ready for another day of showing @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social off and doing demos.
November 22, 2025 at 3:04 PM
Day one of the debut of @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social is in the books and it was so heartening to share the game with people for the first time at the Top Deck Games booth (# 3201).

Plus, artist Samuel Alexander was signing artist proofs, doing sketches and drawing Bleargh onto blank cards with us.

If you are at #paxunplugged this weekend please come find me or the rest of my game team to check out our first game, @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social — an actual physical TCG coming out next year.
