Antoinette is dragging me into this nerdy game thing

Seriously is Dungeons and Dragons still a thing?

Oh well, at least we can socialise and there's beer and pizza. Not so much on the former, though. Those AA meetings, well... they open your eyes a bit.

Also apparently we're dragging Del along for the ride, which will be the best thing.

Pizza Party

Thanks for coming along, you guys! It was awesome, and I've seen more weird people and aliens in that one pizza place than I've seen in my entire life. Hell of an experience, we should go again.

Also, I've been told that various reporters who have been reporting on me and Erebus are coming down with cases of being messed the fuck up. That's kind of creepy, but I guess I appreciate them being kept off my back. And now I have a murder mystery, or a mutilation mystery at any rate.

THE SVILZERIAN DIARIES

ALL WHO READ THEM ARE DEAD BY DAWN

I'll just go sell the movie rights to Hollywood and we're done!

Cooking

So I cook now. I guess my warrior ancestors would be ashamed of me but whatever.

It's not hard normally. Erebus likes meat of pretty much any sort, so you just cook something different every day and keep it varied. Sausages, pork, beef, lamb, bacon, chicken, duck, all of it. He's not a vegetarian really, but he eats most anything. That allows me to do other stuff sometimes, like Italian or sometimes a curry.

I'm not really a great cook but I experiment. I learnt quite a few things in the Marine corps, improvising stuff in the field and using fieldcraft. So cooking isn't too hard for me - just remove the stick gathering and catching the actual food. I don't really miss that at all. Sometimes you don't even know if the wildlife you're hunting is edible until you start cutting them up and cooking them. That's what the fieldcraft is there for of course, but sometimes something is poisonous or does something weird. I know I've gotten a range of side-effects from eating funny food, from the shits to lying in bed with a fever. So not worrying about that feels good!

Not everything is a success though, gonna be honest. Things get burned, or I mess up a recepie that I'm testing. It's why I stick to frying things, or putting them in the oven. Doing a Sunday roast is pretty much the most challenging thing I can do. Erebus helps, though! It's weird, having a husband that cooks. He does good breakfasts, so I can't complain.

I like baking as well. Mostly cookies. It's more of a treat though, considering my busy social life and various activities. I am told my cookies are fabulous. Then again, the primary test subject is kind of biased. :P

I'm going to try churros next. Wish me luck.
