    Easy Baked Ziti!

    (Serves a 4-6 people depending on portion control)

     

    1 Oven

    1 Jar Newman’s Own Marinara Sauce – Or whatever brand you prefer

    1 Box Ziti or Penne pasta – Brand doesnt matter, Ziti for authenticity, but Penne is good too

    2 bags Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – Or one big one. I go off the standard size of shredded cheese bags at Walmart

    1 container of Ricotta Cheese – I use the smaller one they have, your choice on Skim, Part-Skim, Whole. I’ve used Part Skim and Whole

    1 baking dish – I use disposable tin ones. Get one that’s roughly 13 x 9

     

     

    First, boil some water. When it comes to a boil add pasta, cook until al dente. When you’re done go ahead and strain the pasta and pour the strained pasta into the baking pan.

     

    Pre-heat the oven to 325.

     

    Mix in the sauce.

     

    Mix in the Ricotta cheese carefully. You want it to be consistent and you don’t want to spill it.

     

    Add in the shredded cheese slowly, leaving enough to add to the top of the ziti. Again, consistency is key.

     

    Once it’s all blended put the extra bit of cheese across the top, pop it into the oven, and cook it for about 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on it, if the top starts to get brown you’ll want to take it out early obviously. No one wants dry ziti.

     

    Serve and enjoy.

     

    For a quick compliment to your carboloaded meal:

     

    Garlic Bread for 2 (I’ve never bothered to make a whole loaf)!

     

    1 loaf of bread

    A bit of garlic

    Butter

    Some of that cheese you put on the ziti

     

    Cut the loaf in half, cut the piece sizes you want to eat.

    Put a decent chunk of butter in the microwave, say 2 – 3 tablespoons, and melt it. Keep an eye on it, should only take a couple of seconds.

    As it’s melting chop a wee bit of garlic, as much as you want to taste, then add it to the butter. Mix it. Pop it back in for a few seconds.

    When it’s finished spread it across the bread, sprinkle some cheese on top. You can use some left over mozzarella from the ziti.

     

    After you take out the ziti pop those in on some foil for a few short minutes, keep an eye on it, and when it looks like the cheese has melted and the bread is crispy you’re done.

     

    And there’s a nice, easy meal for the night with leftovers for later.

    It is too expensive. Not knowing how to play my interests are most on the painting, though if I ever had enough I’d want to try and learn.

    I painted a few Space Marines once. I’ve only ever played one game. Love the books though. Played quite a bit of Dawn of War in my day too.

    I don’t even play anymore. I haven’t even had it installed for nearly over a year now.

     

    Assuming nothing has changed from when I did play, I’ve got to agree with Nickname’s first two points. Those maps werent particularly popular when I played, except maybe dust kinda, and usually emptied things. And Chateau seemed popular enough, but the last three maps he listed were always popular.

     

    I dunno. I voted kinda.

    Vista 64 and yes, I did.

     

    I honestly cant tell you what it was, but it worked perfectly fine up until the day my disk drives went poof. I’m thinking I just need to fix that part of it, but I dont know how.

     

    Although if just trying to install a new burner onto my E Drive could be a possible solution, I could try that. I’m just not sure what to use for a cd burner.

    I lived by the Housatonic River for about a year. I used to roll logs into the river and watch them float away.

     

    I also got told constantly to stay away from it or I’d get swept away and drown and giant rats kept coming out from it.

    Quote:

    The manticore (Baricos in Greek) is a legendary creature similar to the Egyptian sphinx. It has the body of a red lion, a human head with three rows of sharp teeth (like a shark), and a trumpet-like voice. Other aspects of the creature vary from story to story. It may be horned, winged, or both. The tail is that of either a dragon or a scorpion, and it may shoot poisonous spines to either paralyze or kill its victims. The creature’s feet may also be of a dragon. – Wikipedia

     

    The Rock Band 2 band me and my friends have is called “The Manticore Ultimatum”.

     

    Also…this game is hilarious.

    BIOSHOCK!!!

     

    But I imagine you’ve played that too, no?

     

    I’d suggest more current, but the owner of the 360 I have access doesnt buy games for it anymore and we’ve been sticking to PS3 lately.

    But if you have played CoD4 on the PC I’d avoid it on the 360. It’s kind of trashy in comparison.

     

    You could always pick up Assassin’s Creed if you havent already played it. Not as phenomenal as many claimed, but I got a kick out of it.

    There’s only one obvious solution. Build a giant solar shield around earth while setting up a transportation system to send the Earth’s inhabitants to another planet with a perfect, natural solar shield all the while hinting that the artificial solar shield we have constructed could fail at anytime due to cosmic winds and gravitational pull.

     

    Meanwhile, inflate the price of passage on these vessels and force all incoming citizens into a contract that forces them to work for a super corporation that will effectively run all aspects of life, socially or otherwise, on this new planet. With this regime in place they will, by the time all life has been drained from Earth and it’s surface is covered in robotic strip mining operations, have total control over the new colony leading to general discontentment among the citizenry. This discontentment leads to the formation of like minded groups of people who have a desire to see a change in policy, which slowly evolves into a desire for a change in regime, until finally the seeds of revolution have been sown and the oppressive dystopic corporate overlords have a people’s rebellion on their hands.

     

    But after a bitter fight and a hard won victory they will soon find out that their inexperience in running a planet wide centralized infrastructure will lead to the total shutdown of the planet’s systems and the dystopia they once had will look like a utopia they will do anything to have back.

     

     

     

     

     

    I, um, took that farther then I originally intended.

    Indeed, it looks like it’ll be fun. Though I still kind of miss the way the units used to looked. The Space Marines seems a little tall now instead of the stubby tabletop model effect they used to use.

    Just about all we’re going to know about it has been said by now.

     

    It’s a simulation of the invasion of Anchorage by the Chinese before the Great War. It will include new weapons, armor, and a new perk.

     

    Then there’s The Pitt, which is a raider stronghold in Pittsburgh.

     

    And the magnificent bull*edited* that is Broken Steel. It lets you play past the ending, which is something that should have either been factored into the game into the first place or they shouldnt have written the ending the way they did. Plus, if they make you pay for it that’d just be silly.

     

    Unfortunatly, I’ve done practically everything in the game prior to finishing it. The only thing left is to finish exploring the rest of the center of the city, grab a few special items I missed, and walk in and plug Autumn and well…you know. So, raising the level cap means very little to me in the long run since I doubt I’ll get the DLC since I don’t want to pay for it and there’s nothing left for me to level up on in game.

     

    Oh well…maybe one day I’ll get it.

    Need For Speed hasnt been Need For Speed in some time. The new games are nifty and all (despite their lame *edited* stories) but there really doesnt need to be any more of them.

     

    God, I still remember playing the very first one. That was a fun game.

    It’s when you get really excited and exclaim “Woot!”

     

    They made an entire website dedicated to this.

    Superb taste in musica Major. Also, that drummer looks so badass. I would totally want to look like that if I lived in the 70s.

     

    Also, Weezer video is not working for me.
