Happy Turkey Month!


Full Of Thankfulness

Our listeners are the best and we are truly grateful for your patience with us. Not only were we late getting out the next episode but I AM LATE with this next issue! How rude! That's why we are so thankful for your continued patience with us. Life can get crazy and we still need to work day jobs so we can have fun playing Gathering of the Ages on the weekends. So until we win the lottery or Zachary saves an eccentric millionaire from impending doom and death, we will try our best to be consistent. Hang in there with us because we are all in this together!

Pouring Out Your Heart On Your Sleeve
Episode 111 turned into a soul searching, motivational moving and truth telling time for several of our cast. It was all very spontaneous and none of us were expecting such an outpouring of feelings from the others. Such unplanned moments in Pathfinder games really help to bring the characters to life for us and we hope for you. 

But being the fast paced game there wasn't too much time to delve further as our courageous group set off for the Stairs of the Moon. Fighting werewolves seems to be fairly easy for our group, but how many more are being summoned by the howls of their injured kind? Keep listening to find out how are intrepid group will fare!

Turkey and Swiss Chard??
As Thanksgiving rapidly approaches, dreams of delicious food seem to crowd our thoughts and make our mouths water. Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, both mashed and sweet, rolls and cranberries are yummy staples for most families. But our household remembers breaded and fried swiss chard as a regular guest of past Thanksgivings. The chard was dipped in milk and egg and then coated with an Italian breadcrumb mixture that included Parmesan cheese. It was then fried to a rich golden color and literally gobbled up! Sadly, we haven't had that particular delicacy since we moved to Utah and away from the family member who made it. It is impossible to even find swiss chard in our neck of the woods. We would love to have you share one of your unique and fabulous food traditions. Let us know and maybe we can try it and give you some feedback.

Darn Diabetes
November is Diabetes Awareness month. We HATE this disease and when Zach saves that millionaire you can bet we will be donating to a find a cure. Tracy has Type 2 and Spencer has had Type 1 since he was 19 months. He is on an insulin pump and using a continuous glucose monitor and for that we are very thankful. So if feasting leads you to feel like the turkey mama stuffed, have some down time and educate yourself on the symptoms of diabetes and how you can help those who are affected by it.

And have a very safe and happy Thanksgiving Holiday!
