Week 6 on GBBO was Pastry Week! For my plaited roll, I made a dim sum pork dumpling inspired roll with a blend of pork, spices, onions, garlic, cabbage, and sesame oil, topped with sesame seeds and served with a soy-sesame dipping sauce.

Week 5 of #GBBO was Chocolate Week! I made a ramen bowl: a dark chocolate cup filled with dark chocolate mousse, topped with a yuzu tuile, royal icing ramen noodles, fondant egg and narutomaki, and white chocolate chopsticks, on a plate of a chocolate mint shortbread biscuit.

Week 4 of GBBO was Back to School Week, which means British flapjacks (sugary oat bars). Mine included honey as the sweetener, with black sesame seeds and orange zest, black tahini buttercream, and candied orange peel. Appropriately, I made these for my students!

Week 3 on GBBO was Bread Week! For my savory monkey bread, half the dough was filled with toasted pine nuts and garlic and coated in Parmesan, and the other half had pickling spices and dill mixed throughout the dough (and coated in more dill and salt).

Week 2 of GBBO was biscuit week, with a signature challenge of slice and bake cookies. I figured I’d unite two hobbies (board gaming and baking) with a pride flag meeple inset in a lemon cardamom cookie with a pistachio buttercream filling.

It’s another season of GBBO! This week was Cake Week, so my signature inlaid Swiss roll was made with a matcha sponge and a strawberry almond cream.

Another annual pre-State Fair tradition is a solo game of Agricola, this time with some printed fences and stables to go with the upgraded resin bits. As always, half the game, you worry about starving, and then suddenly, those sheep are overflowing.

My annual tradition of farming games before the Minnesota State Fair continues, this time with the deceptively challenging Stardew Valley. Charles and I somehow met the hard mode criteria on his first go!

Got Charles to learn one of my favorite games, Spirit Island from @greaterthangames.bsky.social! We swept the island clear of buildings pretty nicely. It breaks my heart to see the company hurt so deeply economically right now, though. I’ll always want more spirits to play.

Janelle vs Slayer (AKA Eleven vs Vecna) in Final Girl from @vanrydergames. It came down to the final roll, which is basically how it should be in this kind of game.

We solved a murder! One of the great things about Awkward Guests is how the Brilliant Card System generates only one answer from a large selection of cards (minus the suspects, who were absolutely lying).

I’ve made this triple chocolate mousse layer cake many times (it’s one of my favorites), but this is the first time I have tried making a custom 3D printed stencil to add a cocoa powder picture on top. And, surprisingly, it worked!

Played the beginning of the Act II campaign for Descent: Legends of the Dark, taking an opportunity to use my new 3D printed bits.

We pulled off the kidnapping! Well, Charles did, but I was there to give him support! (Really!)

Played a little Lands of Galzyr from @snowdaledesign.bsky.social, and I was rolling for a communication check (🎭). This is what I rolled. Enjoy it, because I am never going to be this lucky again.

Hey, you all should feel good about the new crop of doctors coming up. I can personally vouch for how great everyone in this photo is.
11 grads in regalia, and me.

Another great weekend at OmegaCon! One with the plays, one with shots of the list games. Full list in the comments!

Learning a little Santorini: Riddle of the Sphinx from @roxley.bsky.social! I do love a good, simple puzzle game. And it’s always so pretty to look at.

After 21 years, I went back to New Orleans, and I made some stops to visit the locations in one of my favorite games of all time, Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father from Sierra Online. Here I am at the Jackson Square overlook (see the game in the second photo). No secret drum codes though.

Played Arkham Nights at Games By James with another trip to the Midwinter Gala. (It’s spring, but it was snowing.) We made a run for it at the very last minute, which is basically how most scenarios play out for me.

Ended a day of gaming with several rounds of Caution Signs! 20 seconds isn’t too quite enough time, which is part of the fun!
