I didn't get to listen, unfortunately. I spotted him, snapped him and he wasn't there much longer after. Probably juggling to be fair.

Very quaint place-buildings leaning over and nearly touching each other above cobbled streets and the fact that it regularly floods high enough that certain roads and businesses have to close is very funny to me. Apparently it gets a lot of Harry Potter tourism as part of it was filmed there? Routinely disappointed that that series is our only major modern cultural export.

Damn the big 3-0 for chocfest next year then. Must have been some great chocolate cakes over the years!



Nice segue-way into the fact that I have to make some chocolate soon for my girlfriend for Valentines as I do it every year and it's the only way we celebrate. I wouldn't say baking is a "hobby" of mine but I do enjoy it and should maybe do it more (I'm not sure I can call what I make her for valentines baking anyway tbh, it's more just melting chocolate and assembling ingredients). Anybody into baking got any recipes to peddle?
I've been trying to get into baking recently, and brownies were one of the first things I tried to bake. My go-to recipe has been this one from recipetineats https://www.recipetineats.com/easy-chocolate-brownies/. If you're up for a challenge I've heard these 100 hour brownies can be amazing  I tried them a few months ago and they were mediocre at best but i'm pretty sure I just fucked up the recipe

I played Warhammer today for the first time in my life (I played on Tabletop Simulator as I'm not made of money). It was a lot of fun, I always wanted to try it and had a feeling I'd enjoy war games so good to finally actually give it a spin. I also won my first game 😎

Go spend hundreds of pounds on some little cardboard rectangles, Henry!

I've been doing amateur baking for a bit. Got my start by following a guy named B. Dylan Hollis on Youtube. He makes neat vintage recipies and I've been making them for coworkers. Always a big hit! I tend to do cookies with a few ingredients because I'm sorta lazy but I do have some recipies from my family as well.

I had a few friends into WarHammer in university. I knew it tended to be a money pit so I had to choose between that and Magic the Gathering.  Sad
