Pictures and Updates 3/24/14

Since my last entry I did some searching to find some of the pictures from one of my own conventions. Now if by any way you find yourself in these let me know and I will give due credit. They will be after all this noise. Recording was done for six more videos and our main magic series is done from here we will be going in to how to build a deck and any other game styles. You can check that out on the channel when you have some time. We got a new(er) camcorder on the way so soon that we can get it hooked up we will be filming with it. Be aware none of us have said we are handsome, but we do have fun so if you don’t mind the occasional low def face on a high(er) def camcorder. We have a few videos for our card and table game series and our lets plays and rage face videos have a couple to each.

So if you see here people are to have fun with these now with taking pictures at conventions always try to ask for permission first. I did with all of these and if they ask you to take something down please respect the wishes of the cosplayer. Until I can get everything off my camera peeps have a good one and hope you enjoy your week. Check my links when your bored and let me know what you think. I have made an email address for this blog its a silly name but you can contact at blazingblackphoenix@gmail.com

How to enjoy a convention

    For a lot of people a convention can be a bit overwhelming. The pictures, the attitude, the atmosphere it can be a bit much for a lot of people. If you find a con with a subject you con support then by all means go for it. Here are some things to know to make your time there much more enjoyable.

First, is plan what you need (food, room and board, spending money, etc.) When you go to a con most times the hotel will not allow many secondary food vendors in. So unless you want to go for a walk, and often times they will set up not so far away form the con so it will not be a long one. Then you will need to have some way of eating because the worse case scenario is you not being at your best to enjoy the good times to be had. You will also be surprised how many calories you can burn in such settings.

Pick out a couple things you want to go to and leave the rest up to your whims. Over planning can really drain you and although you really to get all the place can offer there is a charm about just milling about seeing what your fellow con attenders can get going.

Get social, bring a camera or at least a notepad so you can keep in contact with your new friends as time goes by. To help with this please keep yourself springtime fresh. Conventions do have a bad stigma attached of a couple people per con being what you called fairly ripe. for those who are not educated on the term it means they reek like a seat cushion after chili night.

Last is make sure you have funds to get a couple items. A little spending money may be all you need if you have a mind to haggle. Go out to a con and have some fun.

Murphy’s law and cooking rules.

The law of whatever can go wrong will. This has been as close as a lover to the world of cooking. In my most recent work to finish the souffle I was buttering up the ramikin to bake in only to have it hit the corner perfectly against the floor. I being of the mind where I don’t need many copies of items and when I do not make souffles for many. So until I get a shopping trip in for new ramikins and plateware the souffle will be on hold. As well now I will just be dropping recipes at random.

3rd round zazzle shirts.

Over the past nine days we have had a lot of fun. The third set of shirts have been finished and while the artistic integrity is not quite at the level where I want it. It definitely shows improvement.

ImageImage

These were a couple from the last batch one is more simplistic while the other shows the artistic side. The second one is also a shirt a friend of mine and a rabid Nippon Ichi game fan wanted me to make. It is now the wallpaper on his computer. Souffle had to get pushed back because once again life decided to muck with my carefully laid out plans. It happens though so I have not forgotten. When life makes changes to your plan then own those changes though. If anyone has a moment you can take a look at my zazzle store through the links. The next bath of shirts will have a final fantasy theme to them so if you are a gamer you may want to keep an eye on it. If you have a suggestion of a recipe after the souffle. Leave a comment in the subscription. Thanks for reading folks, good luck on your paths.

Progress Report 3/1/13

Hello, all and here is what got done.

The team is practicing for the magic grand prix, but not letting that stop us we decided to down our sodas and raise our game with new videos. Hate mail Magic Turn Phases 106 and Shooters and Grinders 2 with Senore Rage Face. We have more videos coming so if your bored give us a view, we appreciate it. League of Legends has begun to make it in to the training schedule, as it stands we are still far out from our goal, but updates will be given when needed.

So next time for recipes we will have a two for one with sweets.

One is the classic souffle this time paired with a fruit sauce with the other being a surprise cupcake that  my roommate and I had made for a convention before.

The earned sandwich

Hope you all had a fun month. So Valentine’s day has come and gone with much ado. This recipe is all about what you need after a harsh night of love day activities. Get some protein back in your system with the earned sandwich.
Image

Here are your items needed : 4 slices thick cut bacon, 2 slices wheat bread, 1-2 oz slices pastrami, one egg, some semi soft cheese of choice (In this case Gruyere), and sweet mustard.

Get some paper towels and begin with cooking your bacon. you want it crisp with some give. Let it drain and leave all the beautiful bacon grease. That grease will be what you fry your egg in do so on medium heat, and if your a little nervous you can lower the heat and let it go a little slower. The hard thing will be that when you try to flip it. When the outside is cooked through but the yolk Image

is just beginning to cook through that is when you should put it aside.

After this you should have a little bacon grease left in the pan. You can use this to toast the bread slightly or to warm up the pastrami. For mine below I used it for the pastrami. The wheat bread I get is nice and soft and combined with the semi crunchy bacon provides some contrast texture wise. If you want to cook your pastrami top it with a little bit of the cheese and try not to flip it just letting the heat come through to start it.

Building your sandwich because you earned it .

Get your sweet mustard and lightly dress one side of the bread with it . Then layer cheese, bacon, egg, pastrami, and bread.

While the egg and bacon is cooking you can cut your cheese. For mine I wanted it that it was just warm. placing on some on top of the hot egg when it began to rest and topping it with hot pastrami made the cheese a team player on this sandwich.

Image

Yes, I forgot to wipe my plate before taking the picture. It is always amazing how you never think of things until you see pictures of it.

In either case this is the earned sandwich. If you prefer your egg more cooked then just give it a little more time in the pan. Next blog post will be coming soon. Until then everyone, have a good one.

New bullmoose / Flagbearers

This is a project that I have tried not to put up here, but I do believe enough progress has been made to put it up. This is a party that me and some people I know are beginning and here is the basic charter. Due to needing two names ( In case when we file with the federal election commission that the name has been taken.) We are the New Bullmoose/Flagbearer party

Four morals

Integrity

No lobbyists will affect a decision of our party members

Intensity

From the government all members will better themselves as well as their surroundings

Intelligence

To work and plan in a responsible and thoughtful way in a constantly changing scene

Responsibility

We will work to be proud of our work, and not to be paid by the people we are supposed to represent.

 

Five tenets

 

Freedom For Religion

The fight for all to believe what they choose to believe as long that does not harm another as well as be able to learn and discuss about their beliefs in a respectful manner while in the public forum.

 

Education

Helping to provide and better equip the public school systems so they may teach and evolve their lesson plans to match with the world nations leading in education.

 

Finances

To establish and maintain a balanced budget while providing needed services and upkeep to the people as well as cutting away the excess chaff currently plaguing the bills and work of our government.

 

Food

To better provide healthier alternatives to the people as well supporting businesses and groups with similar goals to enrich the lives and the quality of the health in the American people.

 

Growth

To help provide an environment where people can learn, grow and teach to better serve the community as it evolves through our work.

 

 Pretty basic stuff. If you like it then great if not then at least tell us why. More incoming

As the Year Goes On

So at the beginning of the year most of us made resolutions to keep ourselves on track with a specific goal. As the time goes on some of us are closer while others are less so. As it stands I have a lot of things coming including a new set of shirts on zazzle, new videos oncoming within a couple days ( Planet of Gratuitous Sarcasm for table gaming videos ) New pictures on deviant art, and a new recipe with a story behind it in the next post ( The Earned Sandwich). Writing is still going on and pictures have begun for the cookbooks.

How was your year everybody. Have you made progress toward your causes?

Eggs Magda: Start by gathering the following ingredients. 2 Jumbo Eggs, 1/4 cup Green Onions, 1/4 cup grated Gruyere cheese, and 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard. At the end of this recipe you should have a very smooth cheesy set of scrambled eggs that is very nice on a slice of toasted wheat bread.

.Image

Start by cracking your eggs in a pan over medium low heat and whisk in your dijon mustard.Image

You will want to break up curds with a small whisk scraping gently from the bottom of the pan as it cooksImage.

After the color has changed you want to add the cheese and turn off the heat. Whisk it all together until it melts before finishing with the green onions. Whisk together and serve.

.Image

Simple but delicious. Serve with toast and bacon for a breakfast of champions.This recipe was for one portion. When making multiple portions though there is not much change in the process to make it.

Update on the week

Grocery day is on the seventh so you will find the recipe around that time. That does not mean that this week was spent sitting on laurels.

Research was done in the big magic tournament so that we as a group of people will know some of big guns coming in. In Magic at the Grand Prix – For those who do not know the Grand Prix it is a major event for the trading card game. It is a gaming event that can set you up for the possibly lucrative pro tour. However, it is still a game so from the get go it will be fun. It helps to research the possible enemies your could be facing. If you want to give Magic the gathering a chance check some of the videos on the youtube channel linked to the side.

Photography will begin on 100 Ingredients Home Edition on the seventh.

I am now a dudeist priest. Like ordained. Thanks Eian for sending me the link to get ordained.
