Kitchen Scramble: Chowderville

Chowderville is the sixth town in the Kitchen Scramble game. When your food truck gets here, it starts serving seafood. The menu now consists of clam chowder, lobster bisque, fried clams, fried shrimp, and some crab dishes. Overall, the foods are fun to make and fairly simple.

I expected to enjoy Chowderville, but it turned out to be an exercise in frustration. The reason that I hated this town, so much, is entirely due to the introduction of an ill-tempered, incredibly impatient, character called “The Chowder Monster”. I’ve seen many players complain about him! Chowderville isn’t fun.

Kitchen Scramble: Molassessippi

Molassessippi is the fifth town in the Kitchen Scramble game. It includes food that isn’t found in any of the previous towns. Your food truck now serves things like chili, fried chicken, barbecue chicken, barbecue shrimp, grits, baked sweet potato, sweet potato fries, and more.

Hearthstone: Beta Tutorial

I received a key for the Hearthstone beta and decided to give it a try. The game reminds me of Magic the Gathering (which I haven’t played in years). It’s all about building the best deck possible and hoping that the random shuffle goes your way.

Flight Rising: Golden Bantam Fangar

You can give each of your Flight Rising dragons a familiar. It is sort of like a pet for one of your dragons. Click on the familiar, every day, and you receive treasure.

Some familiars are more difficult to obtain than others are. The Golden Bantam Fangar is one of the more difficult to get. All of the artwork in this post is copyright of Flight Rising.

30 Day Chronic Illness Challenge, Out of Spoons 0

How Do you Juggle your Social Life?

The 30 Day Chronic Illness Challenge is a project that I’ve been working my way through. It was created by @cfs_zombie, and I learned about it through Tumblr. Each day, for 30 days, there is a brand new writing prompt. All of the topics have something to do with chronic illness.

Day 24: How have you managed to juggle your social life through your illness?

Kitchen Scramble: Chef Academy

The fourth town in the Kitchen Scramble game is called Chef Academy. It includes foods from some of the previous towns, and also adds a couple of new ones.

This is the first town that does not include a “food” in it’s name. I think that is because your character is hoping to get a job as a teacher in Chef Academy. There isn’t a whole lot of story line in Kitchen Scramble, so this brief explanation will do.

Flight Rising: Honorable Achievement

One of the things that I really like about Flight Rising is the artwork. There are some very pretty dragons in this game. Even the plain ones are nice looking. You cannot keep them all, though.

If you exalt ten of them, you earn the Honorable achievement. All the artwork in this blog is copyright of Flight Rising.

Kitchen Scramble: Mozzaroma

The third town in the Kitchen Scramble game is called Mozzaroma. When your food truck gets here, you start serving things like caprese salad, various kinds of pasta dishes, calzones, pizzas, and things like that.

I’m blogging my progress through the Kitchen Scramble game. Someone on the forums suggested trying to get all 3 stars for every level. I’m also trying to complete all 3 location goals for each town, just to make things more challenging.
