With the Holidays coming up I’ve decided to take a break from the geeky recipes. For the next few weeks I’ll be giving you some recipes for my favorite baked goods. To start off I’m making my favorite cupcake that I’ve come up with so far, blackberry lemon cupcakes.

So to continue my story, my dad had been working in PA for a while and when my brother graduated he wanted to move closer to his job. Since we were living together at the time we planned on moving out there with him. We started making arrangements and found an apartment. Rob was able to transfer and I was going to as well, but I got fired from GameStop a month before we moved for ridiculous/untrue reasons (New DM had been cleaning house).

Now I’ve never actually watched Weeds, but I’ve heard good things about it. I also wanted to do something simple, so we’ve taken our favorite brownie recipe at home and bumped it up a bit. So today you get a play on pot brownies, which is fitting for the show since there’s drugs and a bakery!

This week you’re going to get a closer look at my photography, and some sweets! Macro photography is a form of close up photography that shows details you might not normally see. The subject is usually small, with popular subjects being insects and plants. Today I’ve grabbed all the candy I could find in my home and taken photos for your viewing pleasure.

Now that I’ve been with the site for a few weeks I think it’s about time you learned a little bit more about me. You might not really care about my life, but it does revolve a lot around gaming.

Mario is an icon in the geek/nerd universe, but what about all his enemies? Those poor guys don’t get much credit. So what better way to show our appreciation for a Super Mario character than with an Italian meal? So today we’re making Bob-omb meatballs!

Being an “artist”, I like to get creative. I want to bring you more than just nerdy recipes, so I’ve decided to give you some pancake art once a month.

Like many, I have been sucked into Breaking Bad. I haven’t seen every episode but I’m always caught up, thanks to my husband. The show uses rock candy for the blue crystal meth so it’s not hard to make a cupcake that’s almost the real thing.

A long time ago, I used to work as a overnight delivery driver. (OK, I was a paperboy.) That meant I was up and out from about 1am to 6am. One thing that always bugged me when I worked third shift was the availability of a decent meal, particularly breakfast, at that time of night. If I wanted a real breakfast sandwich to go when I woke up at midnight, I didn’t really have a choice except for a frozen Jimmy Dean’s biscuit since, being a east coaster, we don’t have any 24 hour Jack in the Boxs, Sonics, or Waffle Houses. Otherwise I would have to wait until 6:30 AM and have breakfast for lunch. Well, finally someone is paying attention to third shifters (and drunk people) who want a drive thru breakfast at 3 AM (well, if they are drunk hopefully a sober friend takes them there, as they won’t serve your drunk ass if you just walk up to the window), because McDonald’s is testing out offering breakfast at its 24 hour McDonald’s in Ohio starting as early as midnight.

While we aren’t quite yet in the future days of food pills and dehydrated pizzas, we do seem to be getting ever closer. A few years ago Wawa pushed out their f’real milkshake machines, which are awesome, because where else are you gonna get a milkshake at 3 am? Nowhere, that’s where. But now, at 7-Eleven’s in Singapore, they also have hot mashed potato machines, with gravy. Whhaaaaaaa? Check out this video action.
