Hey, everyone. It's a crisp morning here at the green retreat. I am one of the unfortunate few who have to work today but I thought I'd blog a bit for those who are not working. Here is a recipe for some cookies you might enjoy. They are called many things, from Snow Day Cookies to Cow-pile Cookies, to Rice Krispy Cookies. Here's the recipe.
2 cups of sugar
4 tablespoons of cocoa
.5 stick of butter or margarine
.5 cup of milk
.5 cup of peanut butter
Boil above ingredients for 1 minute, then add rice krispies. Stir well. Spoon onto wax paper and allow to set up. Be advised that these things will at times set up correctly and at times they will not. I don't know if it is the humidity or what. When they 'do' right they are delicious and have zero calories. This is Carley's recipe, other than the lie at the end.
Hey, those of you who are IOS gamers, this is a great time to stuff your I-Pad or I-phone, I-Pod with choice games for choice prices. Some of my favorites can be bought for 99 cents. I strongly recommend:
1) Real Golf 2011
2) Back Stab
3) Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf 12
4) Battlefield Bad Company 2
5) Iron Man 2
6)James Cameron's Avatar
I just bought an odd game that has been very popular. It is called Dark Meadow and has a horror theme, which I usually don't like. But, since it was so popular and was marked down from its normal $5.99 to a very reasonable 99 cents, I thought I would try it out. That's why I love the sales. Because I can 'splurge' and buy a handful of games I might not normally try. This game, by the way, is almost a whole gig in length. It starts out with the player, you, awakening in a creepy hospital with little memory of what you are doing there.
I tried a free war game called Apache Overkill. Its fun. I also bought, for 99 cents, a game called Spy Corp. In this game you walk around on these platforms, trying to do spy stuff. You try to avoid video cameras, sneak up on other spies and knock them out, and bungee cord your way down to other levels. While it is a cartoon style of game and not intended to be of the depth and visually stunning graphics of Back Stab or some of the others mentioned, it is fun.
I am checking out a visually cool game called Aquamarine HD. You are a girl who is skin diving and you team up with a talking seahorse to perform various chores. I found it charming, although it would be much more fun for your kids and grandkids than for an old timer like myself. It does have a part where you throw shurikens (star shaped metal weapons) at a shark, which is cool for me. Sharks scare the dickens out of me. This game is now on sale for 99 cents. It was $4.99 and can only be played on I-Pad 2. I don't recommend this app for hard core shooter dudes like myself.
I am really enjoying Modern Combat 3, Fallen Nation. This game was $6.99 and worth every dime. If you get stuck on the second level where you are on an AC-130, blasting ground troops, switch your weapon by tapping on the icon at the upper right of the screen. Select the 40 mm shells that you can fire more rapidly and you will prevail and go on to the fun missions. Very cool.
Well, I have to go, but all these games should keep you pleasantly engaged until we meet again, at the author's green retreat.
