OK cupcakes the word of the day is "spicy".
 
Yeah, I know no pics or links, still working out my IE handicap.  That said:
 
Spicy Breakfast Chili Relleno:
 
Roast Poblano peppers in the oven until skin separates and turns black.
Place peppers in a plastic bag for a few mins so the skin easily separates from the peppers.
Peal and remove the seeds from the peppers.
 
Stuff Peppers with:
First sauté onions and garlic in a pan with olive oil until soft.
Then add Scrambled eggs mixture ( made with cumin, salt and pepper, heavy cream, a couple of dashes of tobaso).
 
Sprinkle liberally with Monterey pepper jack cheese.  Then put under the broiler to melt the cheese.
 
Garnish with cilantro, sour cream and chopped jalapenos.
 
Serve with cinnamon pancakes and maple syrup!
 
Enjoy! :)
 
PS. Oh yeah, forgot, enjoy with your favorite cup-o-joe or Diet Mt. Dew. ;)
 
PPS .. Oh, I forgot again ... in nexus. ;)	
----
			
Ahhhh.. I was searching but.. there you are. Coffee. Thx Kytar.
 
Transfer to Evindra complete.
 
Now to spend the day moving my daughter into her freshman dorm. She seems excited. Me? Spending the day around my ex, well.. Not so much but we do what we do.	
----
			That is way too much food for me. I'll stick to my croissant and Nutella, mainly because I am pretty much out of food. Today is grocery day.In WildStar news, made it halfway through Wilderrun and I am hoping to clear it today! Even though people are all "Doom! Gloom! (Vileplume?) This game is dead! Too little too late!" I might endure depending on how things go at end game on the Dominion.EDIT: Are the servers misbehaving for anyone else?	
----
			
"I can't believe this off-topic stuff happening in here! There'd better not be any role play!" Morwynne said as she tried to find the motivation to make a second cup of coffee.
 
OOC: I'm thinking about re-rolling a new toon on a new server. Forsooth, my guild has imploded and I have too many memories attached to my current main. I'm just not sure what I want to do this time.
 
Edit: I fixed the thread title. I got a little disappointed when I came in and this thread wasn't about adding up all these delicious peppers.

@Mormynne,
 
You are welcome to make a toon on Elvindra and play Domi with the Skullkickers ( you can keep your ID secret ) . ;)
 
+ like since we can't. ;)

Hehe ... Rocio I see no request. ;)
 
Just kidding.  Glad you like the recipe!. :)

Ok There.
 
Yesterday Rocio went to commune and hang out with Ambryn. She's so pretty and cute! ^__^
 
No pictures... I forgot again. D=

30 more minutes till I'm off work. Then it's 10 days off for vacation. No work, no gaming, no forum dwelling sycophants! Not doing a *cupcake*in' thing!
 
 
I'm out.

Morning all!
 
Feel a bit down as two members of our guild left yesterday, and another is planning to leave today. Is going to be hard keeping everything together while guild leader is on vacation, but going to keep trying, as it's the least I can do for all the fun the guild has been up to now.
 
Looked up some really nice guides & advice last night for medic DPSing and Healing, will take time to memorize & rewrite mental patterns. Big thanks to those people in the community for aiding those in need.
 
Also, enjoy the vacation, Wadey. Your chaotic ways will be missed!

Pretty little girl with pretty little pigtails and a pretty little backpack walking to the bus stop. So cute... until suddenly
 
She starts screaming her arms waving in terrible fear!! 'AAAH!!! EEEEK!! EEEEEEK! EEEEK!!!"
 
Spiderwebbed in the face. 
 
I know the feel, poor thing. Those eightlegged terrorists.

Hello friends,
 
Last night I did PvP and wowzahas the build I used up til now seem's to not be as effective anymore so I have to retool my Warrior build. Almost got to 34 (One bar away!) I also got the dueling Fabkit so we can have some epic 1 v1 uninterrupted death matches on my plot... I should totes start a Dominion fight club there.... *ponders*
 
Today I work til 8pm est, then I'm gonna shoot for 35 tonight!
 
Also Big V or Tony, you guys gotta get that internet explorer thing fixed (If that's your department) so that people using it can post pics and what not!
 
This was a little Chua Esper I made a while ago (sadly she fell to the deletion gods) named LullaBella I thought she was kind of adorable so I would share the one and only Screenshot I got of her before i deleted her.

Or ... do it like Mom used to do and bake the Chile Rellenos into a casserole with eggs and cheese.

2 bowls of sugar puffs.
 
1 pot of cheap mud....black, no fancy hearts and swirls.
 
I'm a health nut what can I say.
 
Today in Nexus I will be playing the markets and maybe running some advents cause I'm not diggin dailies much. Hope to make a new friend along the way....may goof around with my house a bit.
 
carry on

			Rocio is inviting all un attached ladies to Aurin Church next week. Gotta spread that Freelove Gospel

Says some very unkind things under her breath about Rocio strutting like a granok
 
"Males do not pursue females, they are pursued."
 
"Your forwardness stinks of desperation. Does your mother know you do this?"

"They like the attention? Nothing's more matriarchal than giving the ladies what they want." 
 
"If you're not interested, no fur off my tail. But I do think would be a lot prettier if you smiled. Right now you look more like a Draken."
 
((Again?! Get out of my head, Scott! How do you keep getting in there?!)))

			That just depends on how you make them, there is a very scary face... just no one uses it! Haha! A lot of people try to make their Drakens cute and there's nothing wrong with that. I personally think Jacosta looks very intimidating with her half cocked crazy/snarky/cocky grin.

Good Birthday night?

Had so much crap going on outside the game (+ NCSoft's issues last night) so I didn't even get to log in until like 10:30.  And I had to log out at midnight to sleep.
 
This makes me a sad scary voodoo shaman. :(  Hopefully, I'll get more playtime tonight.  Wife has to finish up her lesson plans.
 
On the plus side, I creeped out some random guy in Malgrave by spitting wine in a circle and sacrificing a prime to an embodiment of death.  Killed 20 minutes intimating Seeger wouldn't mind sacrificing HIM as well...
 
I love RP servers!

Good morning ladies, gentlemen, and Chua....
 
 
It is official.... I have.... the cold.
 
 
It's gotta be a strong one to attach itself to this beholder. So my breakfast is.... ice cream! Because it feels nice on my burning throat. (hurray?)
 
In Wildstar News: 
 
Dott made her first journey to Illium to meet Tep the Bee Lady. 
 
After poking her with  stick to make sure she wasn't dead, (Dott is a medic after all,) the bee lady began buzzing to indicate she may have sleep apnea. That's an odd condition for a Mechari, but stranger things have happened. Dott then returned to Deradune and finally quested to level 14! Hurray! And the ground breaking commenced on Holy Hand Grenade Clinic. I had wanted to call it Our Lady of Holy Hand Grenade Hospital, but of course it didn't fit.... and even Holy Hand Grenade Hospital didn't fit... So... Clinic it is. (But it is still a hospital.) But, as the cold of evil was already taking hold and already passed bedtime, it was time to go sleepy. More hospital building will have to wait until after work. 
 
At least it's Thursday....

{| class="blockquote"
I've always quite liked her but the name comes from a Greek Myth... I'm not a fan of the myth ( and it makes me question Pym naming her that.) So I spelled it wrong. (The correct spelling and the spelling of the Marvel charactsr is Jocasta not Jacosta. I purposely spelled it wrong.)

Hmmm... which Greek Myth...
 
Ahhhh....

I'm sick as well... slept a lot yesterday so I tried to go to work but after an hour....
 
Yeah back home.. flat on my back. Send help.

Oh hey ... so what happened with the servers last night? I got booted early on, went to get something to eat and ended up watching "The Guru" with the wife.

Morning gang! No one started the coffee this morning so while I'm waiting for that I'm sipping on a Rockstar Energy Drink because I was up way too late doing dumb things with my friends in Day Z..
 
HOWEVER! I did manage to get some good play time in with Draonyx, kind of looking forward to going to the next area because Auroria is starting to get pretty boring to me. Came up with some awesome band names on accident in gchat (Cakestorm!!!!) Ran into some weird bugs when trying to deposit/withdraw from gbank, didn't feel like putting in a report so I just bought what I needed and went about my day. I don't foresee any Wildstar time today since I'm playing chauffeur to the lady to her doctor appointments, but I hope I can get an hour or so in after that's all said and done.
 
ONE MORE DAY TO FRIDAY, YA'LL! WOOOOO!

Good Morning Everyone!
 
Rough morning: Tripped over the dog on the way to the bathroom (eyes half closed), dropped my first cup of coffee all over the kitchen floor and my pants, second cup burnt my tongue, then got to the office to find we had no internet (just came back up). Can I reset this day???
 
After all that, I am still in a good mood. It's almost Friday!!
 
Had a cupcake for breakfast that my boss gave me.
 
Didn't get to play for more than 15 minutes last night. Internet went out at the house and was out most of the night. I was killing Rotter, well he was killing me lol. I will log in tonight to a dead character, I am thinking. Oh well :)
 
Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Finally hit 50 on my stalker, Margaux! Started working on dailies on my quest to purchase my Genesis Key. Also have been working on some pvp here and there.. because Margaux absolutely needs to have that Hellion board! 
 
Here she is in her work clothes. Her outfit is meant to be functional - it synergizes perfectly with her stealth mechanism and various doo-dads...  and also instills fear in her enemies. Who wouldn't be afraid of that gimp mask?
 
 
Breakfast today was pretty simple.. I was on the go so it consisted of a Cliff Bar and a Monster Ultra! 
 
To the guy who posted on the first page, welcome to Evindra! Perhaps the best server on Wildstar!

So, I am definitely doing a power metal band for my next Metal Monday, but I'm having trouble deciding which.  Should I:
 
1.  Stay in Germany,
 
2.  Explain an elephant in the room I avoided in an earlier discussion about symphonic metal, or
 
3.  Go over the band that takes fantasy power level as far as it goes?

			Harmful Hits scales FAST and HARD. Crit translates into more crit. Depending on your other AMP choices, getting deflected can translate into more crit and attack power. Basically makes "Quick Burst" available on cooldown. Engineers are crit machines.

It gets even better when you set up your gear to support it.  Crafted stuff is really useful for this, since an armorer can get pretty high brutality/finesse/moxie/crit rating/crit severity ratings on dps-focused heavy armor pieces.

Sorry I'm late to the thread today... It has been a crazy morning. >.<
 
Now...
 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CIRINDE! :D
 
I got you a stained glass cake because it's so beautiful! Don't worry, it's edible. :) (mostly)
 
 
Hopefully you have a great birthday! :)
 
 
 
And I hope everyone else had a good night last night!
 
I finally got to play WildStar. :D *celebrations* I saw a lot of you on last night. :P I got almost nothing done though. I started questing, but at some point I must have spaced out because I caught myself just running around the town jumping over things and I couldn't remember the last time I did a quest. >.< Somehow chat distracted me completely and I didn't notice it.
 
But that's how I like to play! It's a miracle I have a level 50 because I get distracted so easily.
 
I'm hoping to play more tonight as well. I still need to start working on my Chua's house. Inspiration needed. x.x
 
Let's have a good day on the forums! ;)

Doesn't explode you.

Chili Rellenos for breakfast??  BRILLIANT!  That totally takes care of the whole "How am I gonna egg batter and deep fry these bizznatches??
Next time I make up some jalapeno "cream" sauce, I'm totally making that.  Or a variation on that.  I'll stuff them with scrambled eggs and soy chorizo, and of course leave off the cheese.  Unless...I want to try that Daiya cheddar cheese I keep seeing around.
What I had for breakfast was not too far off from what I'd be making, too.  I had soy chorizo sauteed with diced roasted Hatch chili peppers, and some scrambled eggs made with diced jalapenos and green onions, and seasoned with Hatch green chili powder and salt.  MMMMM so good!
 
OMG I am caffeinated!  Having the last of that locally roasted organic stuff I got from HEB.  I was disappointed in it.  I should have just gone to Anderson's Coffee for local stuff.   -_-
 
It was so nice "meeting" people in Illium finally!  Arachnaas a couple nights ago (awesome fashion show!) and Dott last night (Don't judge the buzz snore!  Can't a Mechari just bee herself??  It's a condition.  Probably needs a bit of fine tuning in the vocal components.  Yeah.  That.)
 
I'm off work today and tomorrow.  Instead of doing all the stuff I really need to do, I will probably log into WildStar and spend much time running around like an idiot and wondering why I'm not getting past level 15 on my medic.  >_>
 
OH!  Get Well Soup:
I LOVES me some garlic and sage in a nice hearty brothy soup.
Garlic is a natural antibiotic, and also can help lower your cholesterol.  Raw fresh garlic is best, so to get the full effect, you might want to just toss chopped garlic on top of the soup instead of sauteeing.
Sage is a natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory.  In fact, its botanical name is taken from the Latin word for "to save, or to heal" (Salvia).  It's the same root word as Salvation.
 
Here's my recipe:
Vegetable broth, approximately 2 cups
Kale, fresh or frozen.  Approx. 1/2 cup
3 cloves garlic
Fresh sage, approximately half a dozen leaves
Spicy sausage, approximately 2 meatball’s worth
Olive oil for sauteeing, if your sausage is vegetarian like mine and has no fat.
Salt and pepper to taste.
I have full directions and pictures up here.
Go make something healthy and hot that will make you feel better!  And if you can't stand hot things, then wait for it to get room temperature.  I won't judge.

Nice soup Tep, reminds me of Italian Wedding soup, one of my favorites.
Also, who ever said Chili Rellenos had to be deep fried or battered?  Ever had them grilled?  Take two larger chili's, cut a bit of a wedge in them, (The need to be large enough that the wedge can open them up for stuffing, and they won't tip over on the grill.)  Stuff with some veggies, a little shredded beef (If you are omnivore) and cook on a hot grill until tender.  Take off grill and put some decent melty cheese on top and enjoy with salsa.  Place in San Jose used to make them this way when I lived out there.
 
Edit:  Eep, sorry this seems a bit accusatory, its not meant to be.

Good catch!  The inspiration for the soup was in fact Italian Wedding.   :D
And no...I'm afraid my chili rellenos exposure has been limited to just the egg battered and deep fried variety.   :(
I saw something once on the Food Network where Bobby Flay was making fun of-- er, was talking to some brothers in SoCal who were cooking up some amazingly different chili rellenos, though, so I know they exist.  I just...you know, it's one of those things that sticks in my mind.  "This is how this dish is supposed to be".  No, it didn't come across as accusatory - just conversational and comfortable.   :)
 
ALRIGHT!  I now have my Google Authenticator set up on my NEW PHONE!  Now I don't have to fire up my old iPhone (which now seems to suddenly have a screen the size of a postage stamp) just to log into WildStar!  OFF I GO!   :D :D :D

Nice. I hope they get it sorted out, I really want to play tonight!
 
(Why do those people have to be such D bags and ruin other peoples fun?)
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Because they believe that the evil corporations aren't doing enough to provide a quality product to the consumers.  So.. they Kamakazi a BotNet into the connection.  ..and get labeled hackers for doing so.
----
			
The problem with "activist" DDOS attacks is that they often provide a cover for truly malicious attacks focused on compromising data or vandalizing systems.  There really are bad people out there trying to do bad things, and every time someone takes a botnet and throws it at some website or service online, it gives the really bad guys a smokescreen to operate under.
 
In some cases the bad guys actively encourage the activists just to help cover their own tracks.  Sadly, it really is that cloak-and-dagger.
 
Anyway, enough talking about work now.  Let's talk more about fun things, like cakes and birthdays and engineer crit rates :)

Update:  Apparently I won't be building anything, since Nexus is currently unavailable.  :(
Also, my builder project kept DROPPING in completion percent thanks to me being AFK, and the lag / disconnect then made it impossible to catch up again.  :(
I'm sad.  Now I have to do laundry and dishes and other responsible stuff instead of good off and game on my day off.  ;_;

I'm here, but no breakfast or coffee. 
 
Not feeling very well at the moment, and have to get blood drawn in another hour or so. I think it's the fasting that's making me feel a bit yuck; I've usually eaten something by this time. *drinks water*

"You can trust me, I'm Cassian Panda".
Discovered Five Nights at Freddy's late before bedtime yesterday. Really shouldn't have, had nightmares about this. Next nightmare was a mix between Wildstar and Star Trek Online, where Iconians learned to make giant horizontal tornadoes and were infecting worlds with the Strain, while an Iconian resistance cell was helping our side.
 
The moral of this story? Never mix horror games, fanarts of said horror games, Star Trek, Wildstar, sleep deprivation due to insomnia and Oreos before bedtime or your night will be cupcaked up... apparently.

			This blows. I wanted to blast through Malgrave but with the server being as unstable as they are, it is out of the question. Sigh.I do not think I have ever dreamed about Nexus. I do not remember many of my dreams though...

If they are claiming that their DDoS is in protest to 'shoddy' craftsmanship, they should be discovered, and only allowed to work with items of true craftsmanship for the rest of their lives...manual, wood crafted bow saws, hand drills etc...if they ever touch anything electronic again, their fingers should be cut off and fed to them.
 
 
I *HATE* people who engage in such acts, and have absolutely no sympathy for them.

			I thought they would have learned from the last peeps who did this and ended up having to work for the FBI. A fate worse than death.

well, Coffee folks, I come bearing sad news. I just found out today that I've been severely demoted at work, and I'm now a full-time delivery tech again.
