Ice Cream on Sundays

 Hello. C J here. It’s a slow, heat wave Sunday so I thought I’d type something nice for fun. It’s hot out. No, we’re not at the fun part yet. It’s really hot. I’ve spent the last few Summers running free barbecues for local fandoms and really they cost a lot of money and no one showed up. Still not the fun part yet. I’m widening my recruiting efforts to include Facebook and Bluesky and that’s going well. I’m also inside from the heat and that’s getting boring.

You know what would be fun? Yes, this will be the fun part of the post here. What if I went out for ice cream? Well, really I make amazing ice cream. What if I had a bunch of friends from Facebook and Bluesky over to my house for house made ice cream parlour time? I could make a ton of ice cream in everyone’s favourite flavours and everyone gets free toppings and whipped cream. If they wanted they could tip, including by PayPal, and buy tubs off me for like $15-$20 a tub.

I know where to get the tub containers as well and the stuff is cheap to make. The chocolate or butterscotch for swirl flavours is more expensive than the ice cream part. I like ice cream and the stuff I make is a full meal especially with the previously mentioned chocolate or butterscotch in it. Fruit works too. I have a waffle cone maker somewhere I keep meaning to use but it makes like a dozen in one batch. So, ice cream, catching up with friends, maybe some cash. This sounds like a good plan. I could probably run one or two a week if there was interest. I can also do milkshakes, blended ice cream with toppings and homemade hot fudge.

I’m meeting people rapidly on Facebook Dating and my do not give names rules is in effect here so you’re never hearing about them. Facebook Dating seems to be where everyone and their dog is these days. It’s location based, LGBTQ+ friendly and can sort people by interest. Anyone who likes video games or food I like back. If someone likes cars I know nothing about cars so I figure they’d match better with another person. That’s about the only effort the process takes. I hope whoever I meet likes ice cream. I’m probably having some of my chocolate peanut butter cup swirl for lunch.

The Tunnels Under Haven

 Hello. C J here. Walking down the streets of Haven is not always as safe as the city would like people to think. Yes, they have curbed the banditry that plagues the Southern half of the Coastal Road. The Desert Princes whose cities dot the Southern coast of the Southern Continent if anything make the problem worse for themselves with their constant rivalries and politics. So no, a traveller in Haven or in the River Lands is unlikely to meet a bandit or other criminal sort. But then there’s the walking dead to consider. Many of the basements, catacombs and landmarks of Haven have old foundations from before the city had its current name. In ages long past it was one of two competing capitols for the Desert Empire, both of which unified under the first Sand King of the Gold Dynasty, the God-Lion. It was never his place of residence and both the other capitol and the rest of the Desert Empire are long since buried under the dunes. Well, people like to assume they’re buried. People wo...

Chinese Food That is Very Saucy

Hello. C J here. I read a lot of cookbooks. This is done mostly for fun. I’m currently reading a short but really interesting book about traditional Chinese cooking. The book was written by an Indian author who has clearly researched Chinese food very well but some of the translations of recipes or concepts get a bit strange. I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...

Fantasy Plus Minecraft Server Project Update One

 Hello. C J here. I thought I’d do a Fantasy Plus Minecraft server project update. Here’s the current state of the server. I’ve realized that you can cook over a campfire so I never need ovens. I have installed Blockbench and the Entity Editor Plugin. I have made stats, equipment lists and loot tables on paper for the gold skeleton themed enemies. Most of this will be run off three or four spawn eggs as the skeletons only need to go up in tier rarely and can have armour and weapon options including my spellbooks. I’m assuming this can be done in the entity plugin. I know zombies can spawn with armour sometimes. I will be recolouring the default skeleton to make my version, the sand skeleton. They will be run using mob spawners in the dungeons and in monster camps in the overworld. You cannot destroy them so get used to combat in these regions. I’ve spent a couple days learning Minecraft Bedrock Editor and I have the system of building worlds on the scale of tens of kilometre square...
