The Kids’ Gardens Win the Garden Sprouting Contest

in Food and Drink, Garden

Cooling racks below the seed starting pots.

One of the things I was most excited about when I planned on starting a garden was getting the kids involved.

Raw Food Recipe: Avocado and Rainbow Swiss Chard Salad

Swiss Chard

I was talking with Heather earlier and she mentioned she had #HomeChat coming up tonight on Twitter and I inquired as to what these homechatters would be discussing. Raw foods. Hold on, here. Raw? People aren’t supposed to eat raw bacon. Doesn’t Heather Solos know this?! Now this is funny to me but Heather will be [...]

I Am Alive Looks Like Crap Now

I Am Alive Ubisoft game

I’ve been following I Am Alive since I saw the initial announce trailer back in ’08. I’ve written about this on Kmart Gamer but I didn’t get into what I really wanted to get into which is the art direction. This is BY FAR my favorite quote from my Kmart Gamer post: I didn’t hear [...]

Skateland
