Ruins of Kunark

Well, I have spent quite of bit of time in Kunark lately. EQ2 is interesting again. At least until I reach 80 and get bored again. Krystae and I were running around in Kylong Plains today. We did a few quests there. Then we decided to get adventurous. We started running through some of the high end zones just to see what they looked like. We had to be really careful in some spots. We were able to invis through most of it, but there were some mobs that could see through invis. Yesterday I didn't play EQ2 at all. Instead, I was playing Vanguard. Krystae kept telling me how much it sucked. So even though I had gotten it, I just never got around to playing it. I think its a pretty decent game. Its not as bad as she says it is. I think that she is used to the class designations of EQ1 & EQ2 so she doesn't like this game. The Warden in Vanguard is much different then what she is used to. I am glad that I gave it a try. I can see myself playing it more often then

5 Post Meme

I was tagged by Simone's Butterfly : 1. Post 5 links to 5 of your previously written posts. The posts have to relate to the 5 key words given below (family, friend, yourself, your love, anything you like). 2. Tag 5 other friends to do this meme. Try to tag at least 2 new acquaintances (if not, your current blog buddies will do) so that you get to know them each a little bit better. 3. Don’t forget to read the archived post and leave comments. I this is a pretty cool meme. Here we go: 1. Family - This one was difficult since I don't post about my family too often. Soulful Sunday 2. Friend This one was easy since I mention her when I talk about video gaming. However, this post was all about her. So that is why I chose it. Krystae is Normal? 3. Yourself Wouldn't that be the entire blog? LOL! Doctor's Update A Shift in the Waist Line 4. Your Love Well, I haven't been in a relationship for a very long time. I did write up a little about a past relationship for So

Corn Casserole Recipe

This was the recipe that I made on Thanksgiving for Corn Casserole. A coworker had given it to me. Corn Casserole 1 stick butter (melted) 2 eggs 2 boxes Jiffy corn bread mix 2 cans cream corn 2 cans whole kernel corn (drained) 16 oz, container of sour cream Mix all ingredients together & pour into a large rectanguler dish (at least 11" x 13"). The casserole will rise when cooking so be sure to not put it in a dish where it is to the top because it will overflow. Also don't forget to spray the pan before you pour in the mixture. Preheat oven to 350 & cook 45 minutes to an hour uncovered. Serve & Enjoy!

Just a Thought

Ok I am not sure if there is already a meme out there like this or not. I was thinking about starting a meme up. It will sort of be like Iron Chef of America. But without the competition. Each week, I would post the secret ingredient. Everyone would then have to post 5 recipes using that secret ingredient. I thought it might be neat to see how ingredients are used in other countries and get some yummy recipe ideas. Anyone interested?

Friday's Feast #3

Our normal chef host is enjoying the day off after Thanksgiving. So Gattina was nice enough to post a new menu for us this week. Appetizer Imagine that you are deaf, dumb and insensitive to touch.What other image of happiness could you have? I would have to say wonderful smelling flowers and yummy chocolate! Soup Do you collect anything? I collect tarot decks. I stopped counting when I reached 100 decks. That is a rather expensive collection since they are at least $20 each. There is one deck that I would love to get my hands on, but it is hard to find and very very expensive. It's the Salvador Dali deck . Last time I priced it, it was $100. Salad When do you start your Christmas? We tend to start it the morning of. I know alot of people who celebrate Christmas Eve. However, we have always had a huge gathering in the morning.
