Maybe that teacher was really nice and bought 2-3 different sets and combined them into a big glorious pile of blocks. Nah, these were tiny and were made of stone. Thanks for investigating though :) 4 hours ago, CashWiley said: I painted a bust ONCE (in 2015) and it turned me into a portrait artist! Just say no to busts! (unless you want to be a portrait artist!) 10/10 CAN CONFIRM I sculpted a bust for my first scratch-built ReaperCon entry and I loved making her. But it was awful because I saw a million things wrong and didn't know how to fix that. And now here I am in figure drawing and doing head constructional drawings (this is why y'all haven't seen me in a few weeks). I wouldn't be surprised if 10 years from now most of my sculpts are busts. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For as excited as I am by the new busts, I have only done one and I wasn't thrilled with the results. I have 4 unpainted including the resin one returning in this Kickstarter. I will commit to painting at least one this coming year 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, just the busts on the Klocke minis I’ve finished In all seriousness, I have not. I have the resin dragon from reapercon, and I have a little bust of Belle. And I’ll be getting all the ones from bones 5. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I've purchased one and been gifted several, but I really have no interest in them. I'd much rather paint a full large scale figure than a bust. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuroneko Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 22 hours ago, ManvsMini said: Is this a sweet dish? I'm curious because those recipe ingredients called for beef suet (I assume that is the fat portion, and I also had to google what that was?) which is something I've never seen in a dessert/sweet dish. Oh yes it's really sweet Not as bad as something like fudge, but it's super rich. I think the fat is just to keep it all together. A big slice for breakfast could keep you going until dinner. Oddly, my Granny made hers with veggie suet. At least, that's what she always told me... 12 hours ago, Loim said: @Kuroneko I get you. I have been trying unsuccessfully for 20+ years now to recreate my Mamaw's cornbread. I make (in my opinion) some pretty darn tasty cornbread, but somehow I just can't get it quite the same. It's really annoying, isn't it? I'm beginning to think that it might be something to do with my palette changing since I was a kid. Or maybe to do with the sheer size of my grannies Dumplin'- she used a massive cauldron-esqe pot to make hers. I shouldn't feel so bad, even my mom (who was an amazing baker) couldn't get it right. 12 hours ago, TaleSpinner said: October 23: Do you paint busts? Show us if you have. I haven't painted any as yet- I'm not very good with skin tones so I've tended to avoid them. Mind you, I've long coveted that dragon bust from last years Reapercon so I was super happy to see it in the kickstarter 11 hours ago, TGP said: My paternal grandmother liked to make lemon chess pie. By some unknown alchemy she would juice 8 lemons and incorporate that much lemon juice in the pie filling. Her lemon pies were LEMON pies; bite into one and they’d bite you back. Just the way my dad liked them. None of her granddaughters have succeeded in replicating her pie; that much lemon juice tends to make the filling soupy (I’m told). I think @Sylverthorne has it right, it sounds like Lemon Curd to me too. Mind you, I have no idea how easy it would be to source some in the US. We tend to have a staggering amount of conserves (ie jams/jellies/marmalades/curds) in our supermarkets that seemingly haven't made it over the pond.

However, I know the location of a shop called something like “British Emporium” their supply line is Heathrow to -> DFW International to -> their shop which is only 7 Miles North of the DFW airport boundary. They stock all sorts of things that come in tins, boxes, bottles, or jars that don’t exist in US supermarkets but are well known in the UK. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome Wife used it in her lemon cakes. Then they suddenly stopped carrying it and she had to learn to make her own. My shipmates and I had to eat many of her "mistakes" (still good bit not as tart as her original). Couple of years ago the started carrying it again and we stocked up enough that I havent need to look and see it they still carry it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilhalfling Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 love a good Lemon Chess pie, they are a staple of thanksgiving along with pecan pies and of course pumpkin. My family Lemon Chess does not use that many lemons. hmm I have a family cookbook as a google doc, but no lemon chess pie, guess I only have a hard copy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most I'm not allowed to comment on, but I'll say one was something that happened in our building, one was something that happened at a place I was working at (on the third day of being at said job!), and another was... Well, my own idiocy in high school... Combined with a few undiagnosed at the time problems. Edited October 24, 2019 by WhiteWulfe 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
