What's everyone up to right now?

Went to a gender reveal party over the weekend.

And by "party" I mean "walk".

And by "gender reveal" I mean "flasher".

And by "went to" I mean "pointed and laughed".

sounds like a cat toy?

Actually, it's a Baby Yoda figure from The Mandalorian.

You know what's funny. I was just looking at the most downloaded 3d prints and baby yoda is up there in the top 10.
Am thinking about making one soon. So cute. Have you seen Mandalorian? It was ok, nothing special. But still waiting to watch series 2 (one day, if they make it).

I've only seen clips of it. What I'm looking forward to seeing is the last season of the Clone Wars.

Season two of The Mandalorian is being made and according to rumours I've read, Rosario Dawson will be playing the live action version of my favourite Star Wars character, Ahsoka Tano (Anakin's former padawan).

Well, here’s something that happened sometime around early November 2012. I remember this because of this South Park episode I was watching: 



I got it in my head to start making mug brownies. I found a recipe online and used it to good results. I think it was this one. Or maybe this. So I made it and it was good. Well, one of them was. I don’t remember which one. 

Fast forward to a shade less than eight years later and I saw that Swiss Miss had white chocolate mixes. I decided I should try to make something like this. So, today, I decided to take the first recipe. First things first, I measured the white chocolate mix in one pouch (4 tbsp) and adjusted the proportions accordingly. It did not fit in a mug, so I had to put the mix in a microwaveable bowl. FWIW, I decided to cut out half the oil. 

So, I put it in the microwave. After about a minute, it looked like half of it was cooking, but the other wasn’t. After another minute, it ended up erupting like this:




It ended up more like a pudding at best, well, at least the part that didn’t flow out of the bowl. It took a long time to cool down to the point where the Microwave wheel was even safe to leave the microwave. At least the parts I tasted at least tasted good, even if I do still feel burning on my tongue.

Just tried the other recipe. Good news, it's not erupting in the microwave. Bad news, it's taken a shitton of time to bake (2:30), and it's still got a non-negligible amount of liquid bits. Maybe it's the oil.

Dreading having to go to the cardiologist in the morning.

He and I are going to have to discuss a medication that I think has been causing a lot of my health issues...and I am not so sure it's going to be easy to plead my case though I stopped the med about three weeks ago and have seen significant improvement as far as relief of certain symptoms.

And I have to have a cardiac ultrasound done by one of the grumpiest people I have ever met...oh joy.

Tried the other recipe without the oil. Result: eruption. And given that the second attempt basically resulted in an over-sweetened sugar cookie With a texture just on the border between cake and pudding.

Also, is it strange that chocolate chip cookies seem to be less sweet than sugar cookies, even before you’ve taken a bite out of the parts with the chips? Honestly, that’s what I was expecting to make.
