PLAY PLANET ALPHA

I found Planet Alpha to be a fun, short little game that was well worth the 4 dollars I paid for it. The game has no dialogue, but does a great job of showing rather than telling. You play as an alien explorer on a hostile planet. You can move, jump, time-manipulate, and crouch-walk your way through various threats in your consistent effort to reach the right edge of the screen.

CHEESY LENTIL AND MUSHROOM QUICHE

Quiche is probably my favorite breakfast construct. You can put almost anything into a quiche, which makes them super flexible and useful as a way to eat up leftovers. They also work double-duty as a solid option for either breakfast or dinner! I use this basic blueprint for most any quiche, swapping out approximate ingredients for whatever I have on hand.

It's worth noting that with all the cheese and heavy cream in here, this is not really a "healthy" meal. It's still kinda-healthy-ish though. Let's get cooking!

SUSHI WITH MY DAD

I grew up (in the 1990s/2000s) in a small town called Carnation, which is about an hour outside of Seattle, Washington. There were no sushi restaurants in the area, and my mom wasn't really into the idea of raw fish anyway, so the first time I had sushi was with my dad, on "Take Your Child to Work" day.

PLAY KENA: BRIDGE OF SPIRITS

It took me too damn long to get around to finishing Kena. I just kept getting torn between the core story, the various collectibles, and other games competing for my time. A full year (and about 28 hours of gameplay) after I initially picked it up though, it's finally time to write something up about it.
