Colored spiral pasta cooked as per normal.
We also added gluten free koala pasta.
Drained and set to the side.

Sliced leek
Chopped Garlic 3 cloves
2 tablespoons of butter and oil warmed in a pan. Added the leek and garlic
Added 1 teaspoon of chilli powder

mixed until leeks wend soft and floppy.

add to that
400g tin of crushed tomato
1 small tin of tuna somwhat drained
1/2 cup of white wine
handful of chopped oregano from the garden.

slowly warm to a simmer

Mix the 2 together. I'm too lazy to put thing into a new container and bake it for 10 min. so I left it on the stove and grated some cheese into the mix and left it to sit on the lowest setting for ~15min.

Anoikis

Anoikis started off as a guild in Warhammer age of reckoning (Anoikis's Saints). I wanted to have a healer nearby and they were rather hard to find. So I decided to be a healer myself.
At one of the PQs in the city my goblin shaman ended up being the tank for the party as well as the healer. That was fun.
I figured the guild should have some sort of a theme as well as focusing on healing. and I liked fighting the undead so that is what I did.

Further to that I have in the past commented that necromancers arn't really all that bad they are just friendly OCD Healers who don't want  to be left alone. All they really do is make new friends.

And so Anoikis became focused on healing and being healthy.

The reason I chose this word was because PCD (Programmed Cell Death) dosn't sound like a name and necrosis is specifically uncalled for and not desirable. but PCD is what I was after.

"death is a kind of healing too"
"What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger"
are to phrases that i bandied about for a while.

Apoptosis was similar to PCD and a possible name but it doesn't exactly roll of the tongue, Then I found that a type of apoptosis is called Anoikis. I thought this is a terrific name.With lots of interesting letters and something that not many people are likely to use. Turns out that its a Greek word that sort of means homelessness, this relates to the mechanics of how it is PCD but I doubt most people will care. I like to think of Anoikis as the opposite of necrosis.


Since Anoikis is fairly new he hasn't gotten out much but he was a duel classed healer necromancer in Depths of Peril. Hmm I may need to find a new RPG to find out more about Anoikis.

What do you do when you find you are good at a particular skill?

What do you do when you find you are good at a particular skill?

1. Polish it until it shines and stick it in a trophy cabinet for all the world to see.
2. Hone it and hunt for greater challenges, then hone it some more.
3. Sacrifice personnel progress to teach others.
4. Focus on improving the skill you are weakest at while maintaining you other skills so that things are equal.
5. Practice it a little to maintain your current skill level.
6. Say "I'm great at this" and let your skill wane.

Note that your answer will be different depending on what skill you are thinking about. Your answer will also change over time and as you get better/worse at that skill. Eventually you will get to a point where you no longer wish to improve your skills and the extra step takes far too much effort. Also the less you practice a skill the worse you will be at it.

I was thinking about what type of skill to level up in Bastion. I started to reason it out then figgured this can be applied to any skill so I posted it on FB too.

Here is an example of a real world instance.

Skill: Stockwhip
Answer:3
Reason:
Its noisy and tiring, so I don't practice. I know 3 techniques to get it to work and can go left or right. It's a good toy for camping and when I take it somewhere I usually end up showing everybody else how to get it to crack.

And in League of Legends

Skill: Dodge
Answer:1
Reason:
I like dodge, I sacrificed everything else to get more and now I cannot get more dodge. My rune page is full of dodge and I use both Jax and Svir because they have dodge bonuses. In this instance my skill will not wane.

Addicted to Learning

After getting my Duke of Edinburgh's Awards people asked me what I got out of it and I think the biggest thing was an addiction to learning. Now that I have finished the Gold and I nolonger need to wait for paperwork or prove to anonymus outsiders that I really did what I said I would do I think I'll attempt to keep a record of what else I do to progress my addiction. It's certainly not something I want to cure.

I am going without pie so I can get pie, will you give me pie?

http://www.40hf.com/raskalnickoff

I like the advertising campaign. there is also an internal rewards system to get me to encourage  others.

"I'll give you things. You like things, yes?"
"I mean "things" in the metaphysical sense. Like, I send you good vibes."

I may not have any sense but if ten people give me big pie then I will only be a few senseless.

Chicken soup

Vegetable juice from boiling vegetables and keeping it in the freezer.

add more salt and turn the stove on.You shouldn't be able to burn this soup.
most of a cooked chook
as the iceblocks have melted use a potato masher to make the bits of chicken smaller.

mixed frozen vegetables, or whatever.
when the soup is warm add spices, ome packet of chicken soup and one packet ot 2min noodles.
heat to the boil. then turn on low and simmer until the vegetables are soft.

all in all that was pretty simple.
