It's Friday - What are your plans for the week-end?

The usual: booze, games, cooking, gardening, anime.

This time I bought some Patagonia beers. I'm not a heavy beer drinker, but they're great. One can of each type (Pilsener to share with my mum, IPA, and an amber lager). It's 4AM and I'm seriously considering to crack the IPA open, I love it!

Games-wise it's going to be Leaf Blower Revolution. I'm still farming witches and crafting leaves. (This sounds weird, I know.) I'll probably also play some Oxygen not Included, I bought the Frosty Planet DLC a time ago and I didn't play with it yet.

Cooking-wise, dunno, but people always ask me to prepare some stuff. It's typically homemade pizza. Typical flavours are

• beef stroganoff - because my nephew loves it
• five cheeses - moz', Parm', provolone, ricotta, gorgonzola
• pepperoni - all times favourite. Made with 100% fake pepperoni made by slicing "Calabrian" sausages, coating them with paprika, and pan-frying them. I did this initially as a hack but people liked it better than the ones using actual pepperoni sausages
• "whatever I found in the fridge" + "whatever my BIL brought as filling". Those typically include eggs, bacon, sweet corn, peas, onions, olives, stuff like this.

Gardening is... well. I need to plant some new cacti I bought for my cactus garden, plus check outside for hail damage - yesterday [Thursday] evening it hailed really bad. I'm worried the most about my kale and pepper plants (the tree pepper is probably OK, but the bishop's crown and ladyfinger are probably damaged). Malena (my Sicilian / rangpur tree) and the kumquat probably liked it.

Anime-wise I'm re-watching the series Log Horizon. It's really good; I heavily recommend it for people who like "trapped in a game" style isekai series. I'll probably also watch a few series airing this season: Dr. Stone, Re:ZERO, Hazure Skill "Kinomi Master", Unnamed Memory...

...you know what, I'm cracking the IPA open right now.

Driving up the road, about 2400km, over a couple of days, to say gday to my old mum. Bless her. She'll have some lovely baked goods for me on my arrival.
