Cooking Mitch something new.

So I asked Mitch if he wants me to cook something safe or something new and experiment. He said he wants to experiment.

Therefore I decided that I should buy some yummy yummy duck and cook a Thai Red Curry.

So I got the duck from Vic market stupidly early and then made some red curry paste.

Thought I'd try something new for dinner (It was extremely hot)

So I thought I'd try a new recipe for dinner and one of the cook books at my place had a recipe for Spicy Mexican Lamb Stew. I thought in addition to recipe I would throw a ghost pepper from the balcony garden. 

End result: Delicious but Wowza on the heat. IT BURNS!

Yummy Ghost Pepper from the balcony

I cooked enough for the next few days  

Served with yummy corn chips on the side

Slack Week

So this week I have been pretty slack. Haven't been productive in at all.
The most productive thing I did purchase a character drawing course on udemy as well as a React course.
Other than that, I've only really talked about starting a new dnd campaign with some friends but have been indecisive on when I wish to start.

Bottling Day!

So in anticipation that we may be stuck at home for an extended period of time I thought I would plan ahead and make sure I have enough alcohol to see me through this.

With this in mind I thought I would retry my hand at home brewing. So I went and bought a new homebrew kit from a shop in Williamstown, as well as the supplies to make a couple of small batches of cider. (Most of my friends don't like the taste of beer).

So I have brewed 20 litres (56 stubbies) of Berliner Weisse (sour beer), two long necks of pink lady apple cider, two long necks of pink lady/strawberry/raspberry cider, and one long neck that is a mix of the two.

Siphoning the apple cider

I tried to filter the cider (got most of it I think)

And now I have to wait another two weeks before I get to drink them.

Woo Deliveries

So in a bunch of news articles they have stated that families are returning to playing family board games to pass time. That sounds great except I am isolated all on my lonesome.

Therefore when I got a delivery of board game I had ordered, my excitement was a little brief haha.

Woo delivery

As part of trying to do things while stuck at home, I decided to work on my drawing skills. (I know yet another person posting drawing pictures).

Island Tower (Needs more work)

Another activity I was considering was starting a new D&D campaign online with my boyfriend. Another mate pointed out that in the Essentials Kit: Dragon of Icespire Peak, WotC added a few elements that would allow for a two player game. One PC and the DM.

On a final note: Yay that they decided to update the rules so partners who don't reside together can still visit each other.

YAY
