now I'm hungry :X

My lady has started a cleanse so the house is full of crap food. Unless you like psyllium husks.

Maybe he's David Cross and starting a game company?

Oh wow this is awesome. I've never heard of this before.

I"m not covering them because I do want the caramelized, hardened corners. Like I would do regular potatoes. Should I cover them for a portion of the time?

I think I need a couple more tries before I can be sure. I've had similar problems. I used to try to make fries with them. Does not work.

Right now I cut them into maybe 2cm cubes, put them in a bowl with oil and toss them until they are lightly covered. Put them on the pan then season them on the pan.

The thing I noticed with doing sweet potatoes in the oven is there's like this small 2 min period between them being undercooked and burnt to a crisp. I still tend to overcook

If I figure it out I'll let you know

I had a rotten banana and some puff pastry so I mixed the banana with orange yogurt and put the mixture inside like a giant empanada or something. It was awesome.

I love how the story in dark souls only reveals itself if you go out your way to do so rather than force you to experience most of it.

This game has consumed me like no other this generation. I have to make sure I have about a week off after this game comes out.

Try walking through a mall in Tokyo. You will get that at least 100 times.

I kept saying "hello" back or nodding until someone told me we aren't actually supposed to really respond to everyone who says that.

I absolutely love Demons Souls and Dargons Dogma was also really fun. So I'm looking froward to this

After looking at the trailer the game looks way closer to DSouls than DDogma. I wonder if much of the DDogma team is working on this.

That sounds awesome! I was a little worried that they might never be able to get back to the old adventure style of game since they've been going a little more action/platformer lately.

Just beat Xcom (on iron man of course)

Started playing Dyad. It's quite a good game, once you get into the zone it's pretty trance-like.

So I start work again this week and I work from home. I'll probably be idling in the room quite a bit so I can take a break now and then and have some matches.

If anyone wants to play I'll probably be there on afternoons and nights most days.

The main thing is pureeing spinach and adding it to the rice dish. It's about 50% rice, 50% shallots,garlic, tomatoes and spinach.

Quote from Taylor

Lulu, Orianna and Riven are probably the most fun champions for me, and are distinctly League specific, so I would say Xypherous. I find Guinsoo's champions are generally limited in "play making" potential, although I used to play Annie and Evelynn a lot (the latter until they killed her ultimate).

I've played a whole 47 games of DotA2 making me some kind of expert (I like that my most denies is eight). I only queue with friends but we're still exposed to Russians calling me a bitch or people who leave as soon as it goes south, but it's still fun I guess. My biggest problem is in our group I'm always some kind of carry, so I basically have no idea how to support, mid or off-lane. Or carry.

For some reason I thought you were way ahead of my in DOTA2 experience.

EDIT: Riven and Orianna are two of the more interesting characters, didn't realize they were made by the same person.

So yeah, one of my new years resolutions is to cook everything I eat and not eat out very often.

Anyways used up some more of the sausage for breakfast this morning.

Poached eggs

Chorizo sausage

Sauteed tomatoes

Local rye bread

Topped with applewood smoked cheddar

EDIT :

The next day I wanted to reuse some leftovers for the new dinner:

"Reusing some of the extra burger leftovers I decided to make a sort of tomato/shallot tomato sauce/fresh ketchup then put the burgers in there. I didn’t realize my partner ate half the burgers so there’s too much ketchup and you can’t really see the burgers but trust me they’re in there!

rye bread toast wedges with applewood smoked cheddar and salami

leftover microgreens salad and carrot puree dressing."

Why is hearthstone so addictive?

Collectables?

My twitter consists of a lot of posts about people being addicted to the game.

Oh i'm not saying it's not fun. I couldn't put it down for 2 hours. It was a very fun treadmill.
