Christine - Geeky Tendencies

Today I finished off the penguin cocoa clickers and the latte mugs. Getting ready for my first show in 3 weeks.

#TTRPG and tea

My cup of tea this afternoon while I work on tomorrow's adventure is Always Teatime. Inspired by a nice hot good host iced tea, but I get to pick how sweet it is. Its lemony and delicious with a little pick-me-up. Perfect for Tea & TTRPG

A soft green floral background. At the top is a logo for Geeky Tendencies that looks like an old iron sign. Beneath it, the Text "New Collection Coming Soon!" Under the test is the logo for iNeed Gourmet which looks like a pot lid.

I have New News! We are launching a product a little out of our usual wheelhouse.

Teas (and maybe seasonings later?) Inspired by our favorite nerdy things! Books, games, movies and more. Its all very magical and delicious. Not "this just tastes like leaf water" teas. But bursting with flavor.

It's a favorite trope to have a protagonist survive against impossible odds and their own bad choices.

It's a story of the good intentions of a young man gone awry. Of doing the best you can, getting in over your head when everything turns up snake eyes. It's a story of betrayal, and of hope set against a sci-fi backdrop of a stranded colony.

I didn't know much of what to expect going in. It has the feeling of being a space western in a similar way that the firefly universe did. Little guys fighting against the bad guys who are in turn fighting against a more corrupt government.

I just finished the first of 3 books I picked up by Indie Authors at Popcon YXE this last weekend. The last will and testament of Estar/ The Gunhand by @gravdragoncreate.bsky.social

Last day at #popconyxe

Such lovely things in purple. Mimics, and towers, and bees. Coming with us at PopconYXE in Saskatoon this weekend. #popconyxe

Here's a sneak peek at some nee things we are bringing to Popcon YXE in Saskatoon next weekend! #popconyxe

Had a really good day at P2C2 (prairie pop culture Celebration) in Saskatoon yesterday. This is one of my favorite shows. It's a small one day event, but they have packed a lot of features into a it. There was a gaming room with board games, and D&D one shots running. They had cosplayers & more.

Thank you!

Making slow progress on show inventory. This is 4 sides of dice bags as part of the Bridgerton/Hello Bees collection. I do enjoy crossovers. They still need drawstrings and beads.

I had a bit of fun today making our spring shows announcement post.

#potatoes #eatlikeahobbit

While potatoes cook, chop 1.5 DAMN HOT pepperoni sticks. After potatoes are a bit over 1/2 done, add the pepperoni, 1 tsp dried oregano leaves, and a sprinkle of garlic seasoning (I use Johnny's garlic). When potatoes are evenly browned, remove from heat and serve sprinkled with parmesan cheese.

Preheat vegetable oil in a large skillet over med to med-high heat. Dump in precooked potatoes. Don't splash yourself with hot grease. Sprinkle evenly with seasoning salt and stir. Let sit, and stir when bottoms of potatoes start to brown.

Dice a couple pounds of white potatoes (I prefer kennebec) the starchier potato will give a crispier finish than a red one. Microwave until partly cooked - somewhat tender. DO not rinse. First. You want those starches to come to the surface for that crispiness.

Dragon's Ember Hash.

A hearty fire-kissed dish worthy of your next adventure (or to warm you up in this bitter cold snap) The extra spicy pepperoni brings the heat, while the starchy kennebec potatoes provide a crispy counterpoint.

I love these and I wish I had more hair, but after a certain length I get aggravated by my hair and cut it all off. Usually in May because summer.

Series 3 Battlemap dice trays are in progress! These trays are bigger 10" trays (7"×7" rolling surface) and there are three different options. Should I make one shot encounters to go with them? Or would folks like to improv and roll up their own random encounters?

New fabrics in the house! What shall I make first?
