Is the rule don’t assume incompetence when evil is the simpler answer.

50s and just spent a year in braces after dental surgery the year or so before screwed up my teeth. Now I am in my retainer. In all that time I cannot think of a single person who wasn’t excited for me or at least interested in the fact I was wearing braces to get my teeth aligned.

I think that was autocorrect…for whatever reason in decided to capitalize Kim and separate chi…

Cabbages, dried beans/peas/lentils, and collards. Learn to cook these “poor foods” in ways you like - they are cheap and plentiful and amenable to lots of different methods (cabbage, especially). Extend/bulk all the above with rice, farro, polenta, tortillas, or a solid southern cornbread recipe (not sweet and more cornmeal than flour).

I do both collards and beans in an instant pot (not together, though), which cuts down on mess and time. One of my favorite things to do with cabbage is make Kim chi or sauerkraut. Kraut is easier (and a little cheaper, it’s just cabbage, salt, and time) and opens up a realm of easy Euro-ish meals (kraut, lentils/potatoes, and sausages, for example, is highly economical, tasty, and filling).

I wish there was enough time.

We recently started playing Torg Eternity (something one of my players had wanted do for a long time), and we’ll stick with that for a bit. But, I am also itching to do some world building of my own and use either the new gold book edition of BRP or the recently released Dragonbane. Annnnnd the entire new Enemy Within is burning a hole on my bookshelf…

Chaosium will release The Lunar Way in March and the pull of high-quality Glorantha material will certainly be felt…

There simply aren’t enough weekends.

EDIT: Corrected spelling on Torg Eternity, although, damn, I think I am going to start calling our campaign “Torn Eternity”.
