Is a soup a mocktail? And other burning Black Friday questions on the #dogsearmenu

Made my first from scratch turkey noodle soup from the bones of yesterday’s bird. I am not sure why I didn’t do this sooner. Very easy and incredibly soul satisfying.

Received a lovely surprise in the mail today from @tolariancommunitycollege.com that might be borderline psychic since I was really cold and looking for a clean hoodie not 10 mins ago.

Look up mensch in a dictionary and you will find a picture of him.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Brian!

Finally!

Made a variant of the previous cocktail but this time the only ingredients were four roses and a single barrel.

Super happy with how it all turned out today but highlights were the super crispy skinned turkey; cherry-mandarin-cranberry sauce; shaved Brussels sprout salad with apples and pecans; and cornbread stuffing.

No more food until 2026 please.

The Mist Me — Bourbon, Cointreau, pomegranate juice, and miso-maple syrup with a splash of lemon brine. Garnished with a dried orange wheel and fresh pomegranate seeds. #dogsearmenu

I wasn’t planning on making a pomegranate cocktail today but then was struck by how they are the most murdery looking of all the Thanksgiving ingredients.

Watch this space!

IT IS ON A RAMPAGE!

We found a happy game group for the one of a kind hand drawn Bleargh. After the winning ticket was pulled they took part in the demo and had a great time.

We are contributing the coolest thing to the Top Deck Games raffle at 3pm here at #PaxUnplugged

@demondramon.bsky.social drew a 1 of a kind jumbo-sized version of Bleargh — one of the cards from my new game @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social

My morning view before the final day of #paxunplugged and showing off @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social to the world.

Drinking bourbon in Philly.

Doors to Day 2 of #PaxUnplugged just swinging open. Ready for another day of showing @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social off and doing demos.

Day one of the debut of @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social is in the books and it was so heartening to share the game with people for the first time at the Top Deck Games booth (# 3201).

Plus, artist Samuel Alexander was signing artist proofs, doing sketches and drawing Bleargh onto blank cards with us.

If you are at #paxunplugged this weekend please come find me or the rest of my game team to check out our first game, @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social — an actual physical TCG coming out next year.

It has been kind of unreal to see actual cards for @cataclysmarcade.bsky.social

We could not have done it without the talent, visual vocabulary, and deep well of patience that is @cardsbyprox.com who has been hammering away at the frame and icon designs with us all the way through the process.

Bashie just had to help with the Pax Unplugged packout.

White Jazz — A cool, pale riff on a Negroni with Paranubes Rum, Suze, Lillet Rose, and prosecco.

So my first thought was that this said Ooggie Day Care and then my second thought was “no, that is stupid. There is only one “g” in Oogie.”
