I bought the dry ingredients pre mixed because I’m a wuss.

It’s evaporated cane juice, rice flour, whole grain rice flour, corn flour, tapioca starch, cornstarch, baking soda, sea salt. methocel, guar gum, and xantham gum. I’d never be able to do that on my own.

Ah man, I irritate the crap out of myself.

I’ve been an Orc for three (maybe?) days and I already want to go back to being a Draenei. I always want to try something new (A CHANGE OF SCENERY SHE SAID) then I get weird FOMO pangs and cry to Blizzard to change me back. One of these days they’re gonna get sick of me and tell me to take a hike.

I played Horde for so long that I really want to enjoy it again but I have weird memories on this faction (old friendships/relationships gone sour, etc.) and the story has also bummed me out a bit to feel much Horde pride again. Orgrimmar has this strange mix of both nostalgia and sadness. I dunno, I have too many weird attachments to this video game. I probably need to go outside and ‘touch grass’ as they say.

TLDR; I cried to Blizzard to change me back to a Draenei for the umpteenth time because being Horde makes me feel sad.

I just noticed this recipe doesn’t have any sugar. That’s what you get when you grab a recipe paper from a health foods store. This is gonna be some bland banana bread.

Avid baker here: If your bananas are particularly old, they’ll be sweet enough to carry the recipe enough that it should still be pretty good. Bananas are a magical fruit when it comes to baking chemistry, tbh.

They were starting to brown, so hopefully that’s enough, and I would guess the evaporated cane juice would also be a sugar source. Maybe it’ll be alright. I did the consistency was a lot less runny than conventional banana bread. It was more like cookie batter. But GF food tends to be denser.

Edit: ‘Evaporated cane juice’ is just a bougie name for sugar. Literally the same thing. I looked it up.

This is why I won’t ever use a “Change of X” token.

I’d rather make a new character then lose the old one.

That said I’ll never again make an alliance toon, I used my Evoker to unlock the allied races and Nightsong is my highest leveled alliance toon now. I just can’t enjoy their stories, even if the players can be enjoyable.

I need to take a page out of your book! I can’t even (and don’t want to) fathom the amount of race and faction changes I’ve paid for over the years. It’s the unfortunate outcome of loving all of the races that WoW has in some capacity but also wanting to keep my progress all on one character.

I typically play both factions for the most part, because I like seeing different facets of the game and experiencing all of the stories that it has to offer but I think having a long history on the Horde especially with certain IRL people has put a strange sort of feeling over it’s cities and content. It’s a hard feeling to describe.

Where Alliance is definitely lacking in diversity, it feels distinctly MINE in terms of it’s adventures and memories. So I typically have stuck around blue side for my ‘main’ characters and have alted Horde. I should probably keep it that way.

On a positive note, I will be joining some IRL friends for Season of Discovery Horde-side, so I’ll probably re-make Droma in Classic and try out Shaman tanking. (I’m so excited for Shaman tank, oh man.)

I often switch to the horde when the mood strikes me, but I’m like you, there’s what I can only describe as a dark cloud over the Horde and their content and cities and than I feel sad.

Which is why I’m kinda secretly hoping that blizz lowers the faction barrier one day and just lets us quest and visit cities as we please.

Because I would love to play my tauren again, but I get in this weird mood after a while and than I start missing all the fun I’ve had alliance side

Dying of laughter.

I’m glad your health is doing better. Health has been a persistent challenge for me as well.

I haven’t made a big deal out of it but it really ticked me off.

On a related note, I kinda had a feeling a certain post about Argent Confessor Paletress was going to go exactly where it did, so I just kinda politely poked until he said exactly what I expected he would say.

Lately I feel like I don’t belong in the Horde, but I also don’t feel like a belong the Alliance either.

Have you seen the conspiracy theory she died as was replaced by a double named Melissa?

What happens in the Heritage quest? I never played it but it interests me.

Edit: *this ‘bread’ is not rising. I’m going to have a banana cookie loaf.

I am no longer a member of either group. I am an independent contractor, hired by the highest bidder to eliminate all the badness around them. I have made it my head-canon that I’m a member of whatever faction the current content cycle revolves around, and I only go to SW or Org to abuse their portals.

It’s helped me pretend I’m sane!!

Oh my gosh, when I had to edit that bit!!! Honestly, I was gonna rewrite the whole thing, because I figured I needed to find replacements for both “hard” and “that other word”. It became my favorite edit when I decided to just replace the one word and I ran with it.

See, this is what happens when you hey hey, you you, don’t like someone’s girlfriend too many times and steal the men.

One of them will eventually eliminate you and cover their tracks by making your lookalike named Melissa take over your life.

You help Baine and one of the Spirit Walkers gather ingredients and find out what’s disturbing their ancestors. After you help them, Cairn and his wife appear to Baine as spirits and talk to him.

It was one of the nicer heritage armor quests ingame and it gets overlooked a lot by players

Man, out of curiosity I went to see what you meant and that thread took a SHARP nose dive.

I think I second everyone’s sentiment to launch yourselves portside from THAT monstrosity.

It’s Twitter. Enough said.

And yes, Spiritwalkers are tauren/Native American culture. And blizzard handled it quite well.
