Hobbies and Interests

Oh let me see...

I used to be heavy into Magic the Gathering. Namely the EDH format. It was a fun way to express ourselves through the decks   Sadly I don't play much anymore since most of my friends that I played with are busy with life/kids and I work an awkward shift for hanging out (2pm-10pm).

Been trying to teach myself Spanish for a bit. I took some in high school, but only retain the vocabulary of about a two year old that can speak in present tense only. 

I'd like to try fencing, but sadly nearest place that teaches it is like 2 hours away and caters mostly towards kids and teens. I do have a rapier I bought just for funsies though (I'll post it in the show me your stuff thread if anyone wants to see it.) Unlike Snake, I am a fan of blades.

Lately been trying to be more adventerous in the kitchen. Learning new recipies, mostly desserts. Been baking cookies for my coworkers as my test subjects.   We had pi day at work last month and I made a lemonade pie. Got into that by seeing a guy on Youtube do some recipies I wanted to try.

Otherwise I've been consuming content. Video games, streaming shows, etc.

Love these, BK, what got you into MTG to begin with? I've collected a lot of the LOTR sets because of the art and just really love all the new illustration sets and designs they've given characters. 

Also, show us your cooking!

Well back in high school, I was part of an unoffical Yugioh club. We met at the local library every Tuesday and Thursday (much to the librarians joy I'm sure). When I got to college, I joined a group of friends who prefered Magic. I made the transition and we eventually went from the normal 60 card format to the more unique 100 card format of EDH. Played often and we all had our own decks and color combos. 

Cooking wise, I've mostly been doing cookies (biscuits if you're British ). Been doing simple ingredient ones as one of my co-workers can't do gluten so flour is mostly off limits. The only one I have a pic of is, oddly enough, one of the ones with flour in it. They're called strawberry fluffies and I made them for Valentine's Day.
