Nov. 13th, 2018 11:24 amI took Friday and Monday off for my (Saturday) birthday. I needed some time off that wasn't dedicated to driving to an SCA event.
It was a good long weekend. I was slightly productive - made some tasty but unattractive bread*, did a bit of exchequer fu**, made quince butter. Mostly I slept in, did some reading, spent time with the wife and cat. We had a very nice (if pricey) dinner at a local restaurant.
*I made $4 toast, which usually works well and had in fact worked extremely well two weeks previously. However, it wasn't quite ready when we had to leave for our reservation so I stuck it in the fridge overnight. It schlorped over the sides when I baked it, producing unattractive burned bits instead of a nice dome.
**I might have done more, but people are lagging on sending me reports.
