We visited his family for an early Christmas celebration, and Sam decided that she wanted napkin water-lilies for decoration. Himself being clever-like-that Googled for the instructions, and Sam handed him a napkin saying 'you're good with your hands!' However, napkin-origami is not one of the things he's good with :(
I picked up a napkin, fully expecting to make an equally disastrous mess of it, but instead, I produced a fairly respectable-looking water-lily. This of course meant that I was then on napkin folding duty, and made about a dozen in all!
Since then, I've started with a LARP (Live Action Role Play) group called 5000REM, a post- apocalyptic scenario, based on Roadside Picnic/Stalker, Metro 2033 and other similar things. I'd tried LARP once before, and hadn't really got on with the system, but this one is really fun! (However we're planning another trip out this Saturday, snow and all, so I might change my mind on that!)
A few weeks ago, Himself found a recipe online for an Omnomberry Cake. This is something which is in the game we play online (GuildWars 2) and someone has 'translated' it into a real-world thing.
The way to make Omnomberries is apparently to soak blueberries in purple food colouring and Chambord raspberry liqueur!
It was indeed Omnomnom delicious!

The green leaves were supposed to be mint, but we didn't have any normal mint, so we used catnip instead....
