Yet another weekend filled with food and entertainment. Things start off on Friday evening for finishing up my first attempt at making Lasagna. Saturday was chicken and waffle night at the house; and I spend most of Sunday recovering. Jen’s portable fire pit is a frigging awesome replacement for the go board that we normally congregate around while outside.
The previous day while at the supermarket, I decided to try my hand at making lasagna. Having just had a wonderful lasagna from Angelini Osteria, a quick search pulled up a “recipe”. It is as good a starting point as any, but I’m making my own little modifications to the basic recipe as I go along. Hsiang-Wei(gtetra) came over to work on his Gaplant for which he pretty much finished painting and only requires the clear coats and decals to finish up the sucker.
Weekend update: January’s build gathering. This month we had about 7 new people come to the gathering. The size of the gathering is getting back to normal after all the holidays and such. This looks like a good start to the new year. I got some work on my RSO that has been sitting idle on my desk for the past few weeks, and I cracked open the Gun Tank and got the core fighter done for the thing. Having built the core fighters for previous kits, this is by far the most complex core fighter to date. The parts separation is pretty intense. I’m still not too sure the over engineering is necessary, but the thing is pretty cool regardless. More details about the gathering after the jump.
It was a decently busy weekend. I went to my friend’s mom’s house and learned and made a bunch of tamales of different flavors. I’m finally started up on my latest project that I actually sorta started a few years back when I first bought it, but shelved. Then there was the build gathering. This one was very interesting. And whilst I tell the story later, I will definitely come off as a complete asshole, but you just had to be here to fully understand and grasp the big picture. Regardless it was another great gathering. At the end of the night, we piled up all the guitars, for a group picture. I’m sorta cheating, as the left handed, ultra dusty, guitars are mine… but at least I have some variety in that there’s an electric, acoustic, and classical guitars. And unfortunately, I had forgotten to snap pictures during the gathering, but I did snap a few things off my phone, a little too late however.
