GREETINGS FROM AIRSHIP GLITZVILLE!
The splendiferous exciting adventures and inane ramblings of KT Glitz and his beautiful wife Toni Glitz. There will also be garbage talked about music, movies and Star Wars, a LOT of Star Wars!
If you can't be a good example, you'll just have to be a horrible warning!
Never forget your dreams, they are the hopes of the future!
It was baking day today and this batch came out beautifully.
As it was early and nobody else was up and I decided to get on the PS4 and spark up my Marvel's Avengers game. I had wanted to get this game when it was released but it was way too expensive for my liking and some of the reviews just didn't justify the price. I decided to bite the bullet when I saw it on sale for more than 50% off. So far I am very happy with this purchase. Spider-Man set the bar fir super hero games really high so I was not expecting a miracle. As it stands though it a fun game, nice switching between various Avengers and it is great to have an introduction to Ms. Marvel who will soon be appearing in her own TV shows and the upcoming movies. It's certainly no Spider-Man on the gameplay from but the story is strong, the graphics are really good and it's an enjoyable Marvel romp.
It turned out to be a bit of a draining day for one reason or other but it did bounce back and then we went to Tattoo Fixers for some relaxation.
In a strange turn of events I had LOADS of sleep and didn't have the urge to dive straight into doing things. I didn't get up until 09:30. Today was backing day and an attempt to try and replicate the mistake from last week to see if I could get the rolls all light and bread like. The consistency was very similar (although not exactly the same) so I was hopeful that I was somewhere in the region.
While the rolls were in the oven I chilled with a coffee and listened to Public Enemy's new album What You Gonna Do When The Grid Goes Down? It's really good, lot's of guests contributing such Beastie Boys, Cypress Hill, George Clinton, Run DMC, Nas and Ice-T.
Rolls looked good and felt very similar once taken out of the oven. Now I await the tasting for confirmation!
Before having breakfast/lunch we drove to Oxleas Wood for a nice walk as there has been a sever lack of exercise during self isolation. It was a nice cool day and although overcast there was no rain to spoil things.
It's really nice seeing all the autumn colours coming into play now.
On our return we had a huge breakfast and caught up with game five of the Stanley Cup Final between Dallas Stars and Tampa Bay Lightning. With Lighting leading the series 3 - 1 this could be the very last game of the season. We were hoping for a Stars bounce back as we didn't want Lightning to win the Stanley Cup and we also wanted to see more hockey! The first period was very cagey but it ended with Stars leading 1 - 0. Second period ended tied 1 - 1 so this was still anybody's game, No goal in overtime so the game remained tied 1 - 1 and we were into second overtime, At 09:23 in overtime two a very tired Stars banged one home to win the game 2 - 1 and keep their hopes alive. Lightning now lead the series 3 - 2. Game six is on Monday!
After that excitement we watched Magnum Dopus: The Making Of Jay And Silent Bob Reboot. A very interesting and heart warming documentary from Kevin Smith.
Next up was Get Thrashed, a documentary on the history of thrash metal.
It was weekly baking day today. I had a bit of a panic as the consistency of the dough was not as I had expected so was worried how things were going to turn out. I'd put in an extra egg as the recipe needs four large but we only had medium and I think there was a little extra psyllium husk so that could have been what made it feel different. It made me quite sad so I went and read in the garden with a coffee while they were in the oven. The end result looked much better than I had expected.
They rose beautifully and had a much softer, springy feel once they were done. Toni said that they were much softer and it felt like real bread which I will take as a major win. Now I just have to hope that I can manage to get the same result next time.
With breakfast we watched game one of the Stanley Cup Final series between Dallas Stars and Tampa Bay Lightning. On paper this should be an exciting series so let's hope this is true. First period end tied 1 - 1, Second period ended with the Stars leading 3 - 1. Third period ended with the stars winning 4 - 1. Stars now lead this series 1 - 0 which made us very happy!
Bed & Breakfast silliness ensured with more Four In A Bed. This show seems to get crazier and more brutal las it goes on. Viva la car crash!
I'm still on a weekly baking kick making sure that Toni has her gluten free keto bread. Currently I make rolls rather than a loaf as Toni prefers this. Here's the batch I made today. I am trying something new next week and all will be revealed then :)
The vegetable garden is coming on well still and we have a bumper crop of cucumbers, courgettes,peppers, tomatoes and chillis coming along
It's been a really productive year on the gardening front with some delicious things being grown. We haven't tried the peppers yet as they are still growing but I can't wait to see how they are.
