Brewfest!

Brewfest is a World of Warcraft event roughly corresponding to Octoberfest, involving beer and raids by dark iron dwarves. This year, there's a special boss down in Blackrock Mountain that drops all kinds of goodies. I logged on my tank and we killed him seven times tonight.

anher got the ram for his troll, which looks hilarious. Picture a very big man trying to fit on a rice rocket. I got the tanking trinket and the Brew Maiden, who I was hoping for. I mean, a flying dwarven angel that throws beer to people? What's not to love?

I also ended up with the spell damage and the healing trinket, because our spell damage people and our healers all had them already. I guess I can find a use for them.

Adventures in cooking: the Scharffen Brownies!

When you're trying to save money, you think about using up some things you've been saving a while. Today, we finally did something with the 99% cocoa bar we had and made these brownies.

They're rich. And not sugary rich, like the Martian Death Brownies I've made before, but dark chocolate "I can still taste the cocoa a glass of milk and 10 minutes later" rich.

Mmmm...

And we have enough of the bar left to make another batch later!
