Neopolitan fluff

So Chef Kim came down to visit this past weekend with SO and canine in tow. A good time was had by all! Roxie and Viggo both loved running around with Theo (they all took turns being on the bottom of the pile up), though Viggo particularly liked the "Let's run around the table as fast as we can and as many times as we can" games with Theo. I think Theo has perfected the stop and reverse direction to confuse your enemy move that Roxie used to use on him, though it was not very effective on the slippery parts of the floor... ;-)

As per her usual, Kim brought along a host of treats and goodies (for human and k9 alike) for all to enjoy. And while she has brought homemade marshmallows before in both vanilla (my favorite that or honey anyway) and chocolate (very tasty), this time she brought raspberry marshmallows! Ok, she brought vanilla, chocolate, AND raspberry ones. I put them all together to make a Neapolitan mallow. Ok not exactly a classic Neapolitan... but they are good!


I figured I'd have to take a picture right then, because the homemade mallows don't survive very long in our house. *grin* And NO, I'm not sharing them. Just think of the seagulls in Finding Nemo, and that is close enough to it.

Aside from the tasty treats, thoughtful presents, and warm toasty hand knitted goodies, Kim and Geno also got me introduced to a new game. (I semi-collect games and like almost all kinds btw.) It's a card based game called Munchkin. Well that's the original, the version of it we played was called "The Good, The Bad, and the Munchkin" which takes the original and puts an "Old West" spin on it. There are several other variants as well including ones that incorporate spies (Munchkin Impossible), marital arts (Munchkin Fu), space travel (Star Munchkin), vampires (Munchkin Bites), super heroes (Super Munchkin), Munchkin Cthulhu, and more on the way. Those are all the core sets, and many have expansion packs that add cards and entertainment value, and ones that help mix different types of the game together so you can have things like... I dunno... space cowboys! Maybe call it Firefly Munchkin. These are games from Steve Jackson, who also made another game I had played and enjoyed called Illuminati. He apparently has a whole bunch of other things out there, that I may have to investigate.
Now... to find myself a version locally...
