What’s Cooking

Way Off Topic No Comments »

I’ve been looking for another source for recipes besides Cooking Mama for the Nintendo DS. Cookingspot.com has plenty of free recipes in all types of categories, so it’s easy to find what I’m looking for.

My favorite category is crock pot recipes. Summer is almost here, so it will be too hot to heat up the kitchen. Besides I plan to enjoy playing games and don’t really have a lot of time to cook anyway. I also like the kids category because cooking for a toddler can be somewhat challenging. It’s nice to see recipes that are just for kids.

You can join Cookingspot.com and save recipes all in one place. You can also rate and share your own recipe with others. Cookingspot.com will be a great resource to find game night recipes and snacks.

New Big Fish Game

Game Talk No Comments »

I have a new Big Fish credit that I can use to buy any game on their website. I’m thinking of installing the game on the laptop since my husband is still wild about Peggle Deluxe.

There are a lot of games I want like Grimm’s Hatchery. I will have to go browsing to see what else catches my eye. My husband loves the hidden object adventures especially Ravenhearst. Ofcourse, he is still wild about Peggle, so maybe the hidden object game will be next month’s purchase.

I signed up for the Big Fish Game Club for the jumbo membership. It’s a 12 month agreement and the monthly cost is $6.99, not a bad price for a casual game especially when you play a lot of games like us. They have other plans that you can sign up for that are for a shorter period but cost a little more. It’s worth checking into as it’s a great way to get some games below the retail price.

The Sims Hair

There is one procedure that my husband will never need and that’s hair transplantation. He has thick hair and a head full of it. On the contrary, his best friend is going bald. He use to joke that he didn’t care what color his hair turned as long as it didn’t turn loose.

If only hair transplantation were as easy as it is in The Sims 2. Changing your Sims hair color real easy using the Sims 2 Body Shop. Simply make your changes to the hair color and export to the game. If I can figure out how to do this then anyone can. I haven’t played with the body shop lately. I’d like to delve further into its capabilities.

There are so many Sims fans websites that offer up Sim creations that if you don’t feel confident creating your own then you might can find what you are looking for on the web.

Let’s go to the Movies

After hearing mixed reviews of Spider-man 3, we still wanted to see it. Afterall Spider-man is one of my favorite comic book characters. We also enjoyed the first two movies, so we thought the third one would be the same.

And we were right. We really enjoyed Spider-man 3. I was a little apprehensive since it featured both Sandman and Venom. They also seem to try too much fandom in comic book movies especially sequels. But it worked. Or it least for us it worked.

Next up for us will be Shrek the Third followed by Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s shaping up to be a great summer for movies.
