    @Songstress Oatmeal blueberry sounds delicious. Dried or fresh berries?

     

     

    Dried blueberries - I basically found the best looking oatmeal raisin cookie recipe i could find, and replaced the raisins with dried blueberries.  The guy who brought them to JordanCon posted his recipe after i showed a photo of mine, but it was generally similar.  

     

    I never considered it before he brought them to JCon, but they are the best. thing. ever.

    My plans for the weekend involve sourdough English muffins, my first try. The sponge is sitting in the kitchen and tomorrow morning... ish... they get muffined.

     

    I hope to feel like baking cookies this weekend. Jonesing for a batch of oatmeal blueberry (my new favorite since JordanCon).

  3. My company made a major acquisition last year that made my entire department basically redundant and all of us are being moved into new positions in the company we bought...

     

    And my hours changed, so now I'm having to get up super early in the morning and i am not a happy camper.

  4. I considered Brown pretty strongly, but at heart, my love for reading is more entertainment than learning, and I am much less of a curious person.

     

    My second choice was Yellow - in college, I was a member of an improvisational comedy troupe, and I know where to go for warm hugs and lighthearted conversation.

     

    Blue felt like *home*.  I have found my nerds and I love them.  :wub:

  5. I think the show suffered a bit from not taking the same path to the ending as GRRM plans to.  There were certain things that were ridiculously underwhelming (hello, Golden Company?)  but overall I was satisfied with the way things ended, and look forward to seeing how George makes it all tie together BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE HE WILL FINISH THE BOOKS.  FITE ME.

     

    The acting was great.  The production values were amazing.  The writing was... mostly a'ight.  (Bryan Cogman's episode was fantastic.)

    Heya, 

    I'm Dee Tee., or DT.  not just 'Dee'   They're my initials and it's what my friends call me.  

     

    I've been reading and re-reading the books since 1996, and for the last 16months have been enjoying a slow and EXTREMELY deep dive re-read following along with the Wheel of Time Spoilers Podcast, and participating in their awesome Discord community.  I met a lot of great people over there, some of whom are also over here, like Songstress!  I also attended my first JordanCon in 2018, returned in 2019, and will continue attending for the foreseeable future.

     

    I've been to Dragonmount so many times over the years, and so finally decided to make the account.  I'm looking forward to interacting.

     

     

    AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH You're here HI!  :wub:

  7. I came to WoT late in the game - I had read some fantasy in my teens and 20s but for a long time most of what I read was more in the mystery/thriller genre, with a splash of Stephen King.

     

    After my husband died far too young, I was kind of sunk in a depression for a couple of years (and wasn't working at the time), and I'd been playing World of Warcraft obsessively so I decided to read all the Warcraft lore novels I could get my hands on, and then asked my guildmates for suggestions about what to read next.  A Song of Ice and Fire was highly recommended, so I devoured those books shortly before the news came out that HBO was considering a TV show based on the series.  

     

    My best friend and I were talking one day, and I was geeking out about ASoIaF, giving her a bit of the rundown about the story, and describing the connection between the Stark kids and the direwolves, and she said it reminded her of the scene in Eye of the World where Perrin learns he can talk to wolves.

     

    So of course I had to read Eye of the World.  And then everything else available.  I think I finished The Gathering Storm right about the time Towers of Midnight was released, so the only book I had to wait for was AMoL.

    No, that definitely does help. I obviously know about Perrin's build but do we have a rough idea of his height? Is it comparable to Rand for example? 

     

    I don't suppose you happen to know who Slayer looks like when in the wolf dream? 

     

    In the wolf dream he is Isam, who is Lan's cousin...  I believe Nynaeve sees him in Tel'Aran'Rhiod early on and mistakes him for Lan for just a second, and when Perrin encounters him he thinks he could be Lan's brother.
