    Very adventurous

    I went and skated after a quick trip to the grocery store to get a prime rib roast for Thanksgiving dinner. Went to the mall, bought books and then made croissants

    I also had a lovely convo with the book store man about how I'm of an advanced age and had typewriters in school.

    We had computers in kindergarten, but they were mostly used to play Oregon Trail. :|

    We were the opposite. I had computers at school in kindergarten, but I was probably in 10th grade before we got one at home.

    Back when I was in high school one of the classes had a terminal connected to a mainframe in another state. We used it to play a game called Setats Detinu, in which you were a dictator of a fictional country. If you managed poorly, and you always managed poorly, the result was that your population starved and died.

    I've never heard of that game. That sounds fun actually. We just had Oregon Trail and Head of the Class.

    My dad worked for IBM so we had a computer the second the pc junior came out. We had games that taught us about DOS and how computers worked.
    And btw I made these today too

    You all make me feel really old. We didn't have computers until 1974 when we used to type stuff into a centralized remote and then maybe a month later, every thing would spit out and everyone would run to the machine, hoping your answer spit out. Later around 79, we had batch processing and piles of printouts. In the early 80s we got desk tops, but they weren't networked. Sometime in the later 80s there were finally networked computers.
    Those breads look fabulous! Julia Child's recipe?

    My Wednesday adventure was going to art lesson and having lunch with a friend.

    It's a recipe from a cooks illustrated magazine. I gave a loaf to a neighbour who in exchange gave me some super authentic Greek feta. So spoiled

    I love Cook's Illustrated. I got so many recipes from there. I've always used the Julia Child recipe for french bread. It takes hours, but the results are so worth it. Last time I made it, I was having friends over for dinner - thought we would eat one with dinner and send the other one home with them. We managed to eat all of the bread.
