Had a Buffy game yesterday, and it was a very good session.

The damn software should start working today. Ugh.

I think I found a way to make dulce de leche without risking my life. (The traditional Russian way is to boil a closed can of condensed milk in a saucepan of water for two hours; they sometimes explode.) Doing it without significant risk takes two saucepans, one on the other, and a lot more time. Would be a lot easier if they just sold the damn dulce de leche in Finland.

For the amusement of those of you who are not Finnish: I opened a can of condensed milk yesterday and had a couple spoonfuls. All the people present asked "what is that?", except Anu who had seen and tasted it before. Finns don't have condensed milk for some reason. You can buy it in Finland easily enough if you go to some ethnic store (evaporated milk is a bit harder to get, but possible) but the regular stores don't carry it and the regular people don't know what it is. Which is very strange, because I think all other European countries have it.
