Ahhhh this already makes me reminisce!! 😭😭😭 so thankful to have gotten time to spend together and super cool that you got to do the escape room with Nick! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I love how you explained marvel dice throne so perfectly from playing it just once when for me it’d take me two weeks of daily play to tell people it’s a dice a chucker 🤣 P.S. you know it’s LA when you get kicked out of a public area, have helicopters flying, and cars zooming by all in one hour 🥲

The green "jelly" (we call jello) salad has me laughing. Those were super popular when I was growing up in the 1970s. You can occasionally run across entire cookbooks at resale stores from the 1950s or 60s that are full of those recipes. But, the one that came to my mind when you were describing the version you tried, is called the Waldorf Salad. Instead of green jello, it's made with pistachio pudding, whipped cream, grapes, celery and walnuts.... I'm pretty sure. It's actually one of my favorites still. I'm sure you can find the recipe online. 😎

That is the most bizarre description of Waldorf Salad I've ever heard. Sounds more like "Ambrosia." I'm sure there are lots and lots of variations. To me (also American) Waldorf Salad is apples, celery, and a few nuts with a "dressing" of thinned and sweetened mayonnaise.

My family moved to Boulder in 1970 when I was in elementary school. (I'm dating myself here) and I remember when the Pearl Street Mall opened in 1977. It definitely transformed downtown. I'm glad you got to spend time in Boulder. (Fun trivia: For the locals, the flatirons are not mountains. They call them "foothills" because the real mountains are behind them.) So great to see your smiling faces and I'm happy to see you're spending time with Tim and Monique. (Follow both of their channels!) Enjoy your vacation and have a fantastic time at GenCon! P.S. We ate a lot of jello salad in the 60s and 70s and it was always (canned) fruit, not veggies. It feels like a retro food. I don't know anyone here in New York who eats it today. Not a big fan. And I love pumpkin pie (unsweetened) for Thanksgiving but am not really into the sweet potato pie.

It's important to me that you know that jelly salads are not common in Americans' diets! 😅 Gelatin was a weird fad circa 1960, and vintage issues of Good Housekeeping showcase some truly bizarre recipes. Some of these recipes still manage to survive, particularly in the Midwest, because Granny still brings it to the potluck every year so it's "traditional". But it's definitely not something you're bound to see at every restaurant or Christmas feast! Sweet potato and marshmallow is 5000x more common, and even that is something that not everyone does. Anyway, happy Gen Con!

Glad you had a chance to experience Colorado! I'm not a native, but I moved here over 20 years ago and if I had only two options of where to live in the world, it would be Colorado or Australia (not well versed enough to pick a specific province... yet). It really is beautiful and the people are so nice. I'm so glad that one of your experiences in the States has been to have indigenous food. It's something that is uniquely American (and yes, I mean all the Americas), but is not considered by the mainstream as such. Not to mention, it's delicious. Next time you are in Denver, look up Tocabe. It's a fast-foodish-style restaurant, where you go up and order at a counter, but they have "indian tacos" that are a fry bread base with bean, hominy, corn, etc. and your choice of protein, including your favorite and mine, bison. Yum yum yum! Fry bread is as delicious as you would imagine, given the name. Also, no thank you on the gelatin salad... 😣

Glad that the trip to the US has been going swimmingly so far! I'm extremely envious on Amy's trip to Colorado. It's where I grew up and where my family currently resides. I lived south of Denver, but there are so many beautiful sites and small game shops to visit all over the Denver metro area. Or if y'all are into hikes or hot springs, there's so much there to explore as well. Plus Boulder is a great place to visit cause it's such a clean and easy place to explore. If there's one true thing about people from Colorado, is that they love the state. I wish y'all more happy memories and access to great people and games for the rest of the trip! Wish I was fortunate enough to go, but I'll just have to catch up on your gen con content and enjoy it through y'all. Thanks again for another lovely video!

Loved your video glad you were able to visit with other content creators and it was great hearing about your travels in the US. I was just telling my husband today how much I'd love to visit Australia. Funny thing is that I watched a surfing tv series very recently and learned that you guys say "jelly" and we say "jello", but of course we also have peanut butter and jelly, which is basically jam...oh so confusing ☺. Any-who, this may be too sweet for your taste, but when I was a kid we would actually put fruit in the jell-o/jelly, not veggies (canned fruit cocktail). Also, culturally my family prefers sweet potato pie which isn't typical to many Americans who generally eat pumpkin pie.

Dice Throne is best as a two player head to head match. That is the only way I play it.

Ah yes good to know!!! I did like the incentive to damage the leading player though in the 3 player game!

Recently was talking with my best friend about how I use Dice Throne as a way to determine someone's board game preference/knowledge base. Had a good laugh at how terrible of a choice that was after seeing that even really frequent gamers like yourselves found it some what complicated and over whelming (when you play stuff like Feast of Odin?!).

Jello salad is from the 60s (maybe). It may still be a Minneapolis thing, but I don't think it's a nationwide "thing." I was a kid in the 60s and never ate it. Sounds yukky. Vegetables and Jell-O. Yuk.
