DieCon, Gaming
Tuesday, June 9, 2009
This past weekend I attended DieCon 9 in Collinsville IL. I ran a game of Stone Age for the Atomic Squash gamer group.
The setting for this year’s Spycraft LARP was a disco in a divided Berlin in 1972. I also wrote a character, a Polish businessman who would black out and lapse into a psychopathic rage. We had about a dozen players turn out. Due to a shortage of female players, I took the role of a lady photographer for the Rolling Stone magazine. Rick R was absolutely entertaining as Andy Warhol! Amy S played a bartender who “dosed” quite a few patrons.
It was great to see friends: Tom W, the Imbodens, Amy, Cuban, Joe, Jason W, Adam, Rick R, Ron and Jason A. Good times!

In honor of Mother’s Day I decided to repost my recipe for perfect deviled eggs, a recipe which my mom loves.
Perfect Deviled Eggs
First, put the eggs in a large pot and cover with water. Heat the water to boiling. Remove the eggs from the heat, cover and let sit 15 minutes. Now the trick is to get the eggs to stop cooking. Immerse the eggs in ice water and sit them in the fridge. This will keep the yolks nice and yellow.
Once the eggs have cooled down, remove the shells. Cut them lengthwise and dump the yolks in a mixing bowl. To the yolks add several tablespoons of Miracle Whip, a teaspoon of prepared mustard, a pinch of sugar and splash of apple cider vinegar. Mix well.
Fill the egg halfs with the yolk mixture. I find filling a sandwich bag and snipping a corner helps cut down on the mess. To complete the presentation I sprinkle on a little paprika and place an olive slice in the center of the yolk.

I modified my blog to use Wordpress. There are still some broken links and improvements I would like to make. Please be patient with the rough edges.

Another meme from Facebook..
Once, you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things. At the end, you choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.
