Simple Man

Understand, I am simple, it does not and I do stress... NOT; take a rocket scientist to figure me out. I have been caught in the unfortunate trap of Face Book Zynga Games. The game I have chosen to fall victim to is Cafe' World. And I do try to use it as an educational game (note I started this sentence with and) So I am reaching to extend my culinary horizons. One dish in this game is called Herbed Halibut. I chose to make mention of this one because it takes 1 day to make and I don't have to think alot when scheduling this meal to be cooked. Basic question answered is What are you doing tomorrow at this time? Pretty easy to figure out. Oh and about the time; haha, who would take 8 hours to make bacon and eggs? But any way (another grammar mistake) the only time I have had halibut, that I can remember, was the time I went up to Trader Joe's.  Being there to get some wine,  I strolled around the market for a few and picked up a tin of Smoked Halibut. Now, it did have a rather "fishy" taste to it and I would say the "smoked" part made it a bit more palatable. I am however a big fan of seafood/ non-land food, if that works as a class. Fresh water fish is also a food I like; you can have the catfish though. On with my story... The game itself is in no way educational; dino eggs and brontosaurus ribs would be a hard meal to find which ever coast or continent you live on. It is a fun way to pass the time, do nothing and just plain hang around. Seems to work well as an estimated timer of sorts... look at the clock, computer says this will be done in 23 minutes, making it somewhat around 3:15, and I have to go check my laundry at 3:20. Ok, so were getting a little more complex than 45 from now will be... but like I said, I'm a bit on the side of simple, logical, but simple. 
        As for different foods and far reaching culinary treats I have had smoked eel; while staying with a family friend in Long Island. I was very young at the time. I would have to estimate it was one of the final times my family went the trip to New York in 1978, making me an old man of 15... almost 16. I just don't think children, for the most part, to be interested in "exotic foods". I was up for a different food. I suppose I was different in that way. Just cause I never heard of it, that doesn't make it taste bad. As taste goes, I think we "learn" to like some foods. Coffee, I don't remember tasting good, but I do drink it, black with no sugar, every morning.

Crazy Games

Crazy games... facebook has a ton of them. Was trying my hand at Mafia Wars but got sorta bored with that, went back to just being a Pirate. Now this is a cute little game. MsNeo has been doing this for some time now, and did spark a small interest in me. Its sorta funny you prepare and serve food for the customers, I think its just down right cute. Anyway, I know I say I'm not all that into games, I just thought I would give a few of em a try, this one seems pretty fun. A waste of time sure, but still fun.

The Games We Love to Hate

Really I'm not much of a gamer but this guy cracks me up. I used to do the Team Racing game, but always came in 8th place, that is out of 8 racers. Like I say I don't game, therefore I don't get good at games. Everything takes practice to get better. If I never read anything, I would not read well at all. If I didn't take a few every now and then to sit down with my guitar and play a bit I wouldn't change chords or do scales very well. I will say this is the reason I can't do a back flip off the fence in the school yard. 


So back to the game thing... I have never been big on the arcade games or video games, when young I did some pinball but not what you would call a wizard. On the list .... well put to simple terms, the games should have been set with a read out of low scores. 




And then there is this game character- 
The score wasn't so important, I just liked the concept of the game, it was a pretty cool.
