I recently received a request to make a recipe from the indie game Recettear. Recettear is an adorable game where you play as Recette Lemongrass, an up-and-coming item shopkeep. Each day you can adventure into a dungeon to collect loot in order to stock up on supplies for your shop. Of course, Recette isn’t the…

Overwatch League: Los Angeles Valiant Popsicles
The Overwatch League is the first time I’ve gotten into eSports. I never thought I would find myself getting really into it and watching the games each week, but I’ve really enjoyed seeing the teams grow and adjust during each stage. One team that went through a lot of transformations is the Los Angeles Valiant….
Stardew Valley: Blackberry Cobbler
Over the past few months, there has been a lot of rumbling about the multiplayer version of Stardew Valley. Multiplayer is the only way I could convince my husband to try playing a farm simulator game. This style of game has been one of my favorites to play when I want to relax and just…
Overwatch League: Seoul Dynasty Popsicles
For the past few months, I have been enthralled by the Overwatch League. I have enjoyed watching all the games, cheering for several of the teams, and even going out to meet the Houston Outlaws when they visited Houston last month. I’ve wanted to start doing some kind of food based thing for the league…
Yakuza 0: Gyokuro Cocktail
The Yakuza series is one of my all time favorites. This week, Yakuza 6 was released and I cannot get enough of the game. I don’t want to spoil anything about the game (go play it!) so I’ll talk a bit about Yakuza 0 instead. Last year was filled with too many very good games…
Castlevania: Curry of Sorrow
I am but a simple servant, tidying the castle, fetching warm bath water, and most importantly serving dinner. It’s a simple job and a simple life but it works for – OH NO WHAT WAS THAT? I could have sworn I heard something. Okay, settle down, Skeleton Waiter. It was just the draft blowing through…
Breath of the Wild: Egg Tart
I’ve been slowly making my way through all the DLC for Breath of the Wild. I’m a little disappointed with some of the items I’ve been discovering. I really would love to be able to run around in Ganon’s armor, but being unable to upgrade it makes me sad. It’s not just the lower defense…
Overwatch: Semlor
Since I started playing Overwatch, my main focus has been on playing support characters. This role has been my favorite, especially since my aiming is not the best. At the beginning, I mostly picked Mercy because it helped me understand maps and where it was appropriate to stand during combat. After a bit of learning…
Nioh: Elixir
I’ve arrived in Zipangu, seemingly worlds away from my home in England. I followed that thieving swine, Edward, in hopes of getting my guardian spirit back, but I’ve only found destruction. The clans here are warring for control of the land while the demons feast on the chaos. Sometimes it feels like the land itself…
Breath of the Wild: Mushroom Risotto
This past November, my husband and I finally picked up a Switch and a copy of Breath of the Wild. I just finished my first playthrough of the game last week. It is extremely easy to wander in a direction and lose all sense of time and focus on the main story objective. There is…
