Who is your familiar?
...if you have one outside of Baldur's Gate. I have two, both of the feline variety. I'll add the second one later, but here's the first: Ewok (who came with the name when I adopted him from a rescue organization). His magical power is bad breath caused by cat gingivitis.

And she knows it. My parents had her declawed in front a long time ago.
And this is her son, Spotter:
He's like 8 years old now(ish), and much silkier. He hardly ever has a mat. He's a pacifist, unlike his mother. Come to think of it, we might have a Khalid/jahiera relationship going on here.
And this is spotter's late brother, stripy:
Unfortunately he has not been with us since.... 2010 I think, due to an unfortunate urinary track disease common in Persians, where high level of stress cause the urinary track to swell, and make it impossible to pee. This makes rearranging the furniture difficult, because that stresses cat(Persians are indoor, so the house is essentially the whole world). There is a pill that helps a little, but our 2 week trip to Colorado was to much for the poor boy. We had had him treated once before but we where not prepared to spend another $600 on him, much to my dismay. He was incredibly soft(emotionally and physically) and fat. The best pillow ever. He could never have enough love, that one. Though it was a while ago, we miss him.
Sorry the pics aren't all great. It's hard to get a good expression from these guys. They hate having their picture taken, and the light is usually bad indoors. Also, stripy's pic where most likely taken by a small child on a crappy camera.
Apparently releasing desert rodents into a country that's 80 percent desert is a really really bad idea. However we're getting a new house soon and plan to get two cats and a husky.
Several hundred thousand dollars for having a rabbit?! Switch that over to a bounty and I'd happily smuggle some in...
Called Charlotte Corday and Max Weber, they are - a plush beluga and a plush frog - they serve to keep me company in the hallucination-filled nights of mine, silenty judging my derangement with their black beads supposed to represent eyes. They watch. They know. How pathethic am I to only have such abiotes to look out for me in my insanity. I wonder what they think of me, being the imaginary personality holders they are...
Haha oh we have them, but they're usually at plague proportions and the government tries to kill them off or fence them in.
Currently he's adopting New Zealanders, who keep sleeping in my folks' spare room. And by "adopting", I mean "bending to his feline will". I love the evil little git.
Here is the second of my two in one of the first pictures I had taken of him. He was a stray that I rescued during the middle of the 2011 riots in Bangkok, shortly after his mother was hit by a car. I'm not sure whether or not he tried to eat my soul while I slept that night.
I have since managed to placate him and stem his evil tendencies with sacrifices of fish and soft beds.
Loved killing stuff for me... depopulated the area of chipmunks for at least a square kilometer, possibly more. When I was dieting, I think he was worried, he brought animals every day after I started getting legitimately skinny (~180lb, down from +350, but I am tall). Naturally he was named Chinghis. Fearless cat.
Much less bonded with subsequent cats, but Hobbs is the present dominant male. Probably 6 years old now, ancient for a farm cat. He gets possitively massive in the winter, piles on 5-10lbs. I think he tends to eat what he kills.
He once appeared in a dream I had, and spoke with the epic voice of James Earl Jones.
My girlfriend and I are planning on getting a bunny familiar after we get engaged. Funny story: my sorcerer's familiar in NWN (could have been the second one) was a bunny named Mr. Fluffy.
I actually seriously wanted a hamster named Boo when I was young. Perhaps one day the bunny will need a friend.
@booinyoureyes, though we didn't name him, it just stuck. I couldn't think of anything more appropriate, especially considering his personality.
If you like Indian food, you'd love visiting here. Indian, Malaysian and Thai flavors blend together in Bangkok. It has some of the most incredible food in the world.
I'm so missing out on the familiars. I want a new house.
I think real Thai is also a lot spicier? We Americans think we have hot stuff in our barbecue, but we deceive ourselves. Once we went to a different place; they had mild, hot, american hot, and Thai hot. Hot almost killed me:P
Not really, but it was pretty hot, and I'm not particularly frail when it comes to capsaicin.(though I'm certainly not the best middle of the road, tops)
A bit of friendly advice: don't lick a ghost pepper. It doesn't help anyone,mans it's not worth the XP.
I personally love it...
I actually do most of my own cooking, and try to stay fairly authentic, I almost never eat out. From whst I've read, Malay cooking isnt dissimilar from Indonesian. Indian cooking seems intuitive, but can be time consuming if you are cooking a dish properly. I also like the liberal use of legumes in Indian food, western bean dishes can be really boring, and canned is ussually sweeter than most cultures deserts.
My experience with Thai was definately not a sweet dish, but very flavourful. Was quite a unique flavour at that, used I think stewed root of some kind as a base. What dishes would you recomend?
I don't even know where to start.
And yeah... The sugar stuff... That's... That a thing, isn't it?
Malay, Indonesian, Indian and Thai food share certain dishes, so you'll often find crossover. Each also has signature dishes, though, and they tend to be much more unique. You'll probably encounter a lot of dishes similar to the soup you tried; many ingredients in Thai food are not meant to be eaten, and are only added to bring out certain flavors when cooking. Out of the list I added above, some of my personal favorites are tom yum going (1), gang know wan (3), panang (4), pad see ew (32), and a few that aren't on the list: moo manow (a spicy lime pork salad) and pad ped tea fak yao (green beans with red curry and pork/chicken in most cases).
