Subject: Wheel of Time
Hey Renee & J,
Just wanted to let you know I’m really enjoying the podcast. Found you thru Ctrl Alt WoW. Interested to hear Renee’s thoughts on the Wheel of Time books as you go on. I’ve read thru the first 10 books several times and am currently reading the first one with the new author. I love this series. You’ll have to let me know which of the main characters you enjoy most. I think my favorite is probably Perrin.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your interests with us.
For the Horde! and the Rift.
Tedra

Recipe Exploration: Lasagna Cups
I was intrigued when I found a recipe for Lasagna Cupcakes. People were confused by the name so I just changed it to Lasagna Cups. The first batch I made had three layers and that way too much. The second batch had two layers was perfect so that’s what I recommend. These are so good and perfect for individual lunches and freezing for later.
- Cooking Spray
- 1 lb lean hamburger meat (can substitute ground turkey if desired)
- 18 wonton wrappers
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese , grated
- 3/4 cup parmesan cheese , grated
- 2/3 cup part skim milk ricotta cheese
- One cup of your favorite pasta sauce
- Italian Seasoning
- Black Pepper
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray 9 cups of a 12 serving muffin tin with the cooking spray
- Cook hamburger meat, season to taste, drain
- Reserve 8 tablespoons of Parmesan and 8 tablespoons of mozzarella—this will be the topping. The remaining cheese will be used in the lasagnas (note you can vary the amount of cheese to taste keeping in mind that the parmesan is salty, the mozzarella is sweet as well as salty and helps to hold the lasagnas together, and the ricotta is sweet and creamy).
- Start assembling the lasagnas. Line each cupcake mold with a round wonton wrapper. Put a little Parmesan, a little mozzarella, and a little ricotta into each mold. Add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning and black pepper. Top with a little meat and a spoonful of sauce. Repeat layers of wonton wrappers, cheeses, spices, meat and sauce, creating 2 layers in all, and ending with sauce. Sprinkle each lasagna with reserved Parmesan and mozzarella.
- Bake until the lasagnas are nicely browned, about 20 minutes.
- Let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and remove from pan.
Arkham City Trailer
After playing Arkham Asylum we are so pumped for Arkham City. Trailer is below. More to come on the @Valentine Podcast #2!
Weekend Wrapup: 03/06/2011-03/08/2011
So we had a pretty good weekend this past weekend. Lots of laughs, fun, and good times. So let’s get to it!
- The King’s Speech: Renee has been wanting to see this movie for weeks and weeks ever since she first heard about it. She has had a stutter since she was six years old so she knew the content of the movie would be immensely personal. We loved how they approached it. Every stutterer has a different experience but the frustration is all the same and we think Colin Firth really expressed that accurately. Some scenes were hard for Renee to watch. When the King was yelling at his son to try harder, just get it out, take his time, she almost had to look away. Excellent movie and we recommend it to anyone. Plus the two movie tickets for $9, so it was a steal. Thanks Living Social!
- Rift: Rift was great as usual. We got up to level 30 and we’re still having a blast. Weirdly, one of Renee’s favorite parts on that game is riding around on my horse 🙂 We love playing together and it’s the whole reason we play the game as much as we do. We make every game great for each other in that way..
- 24: I absolutely love 24. I blame J for getting me addicted to it. It’s all his fault. I’m always like…just one more hour! I’m on season 2 and I look forward to getting caught up.
- Penn Station Subs: So we have always been reluctant to try Penn Station for whatever reason. Well it turns out we should have tried it years ago. It’s so great. They actually put your meat on a grill with the vegetables before putting it on the bread. Plus they have a fries. Renee’s a sucker for fries.
- Control Alt Geek: We were guests on the podcast Control Alt Geek with Aprillian and Jeppy and had a great time. We talked about our podcast coming up and we talked about the problems and questions that we had. It was really fun and comforting all at the same time.
- WoW: We raided in WoW as usual this weekend. We tried a new boss. There’s progress but it’s slow. We are 10/12 on this raiding tier which is pretty good. As long as there’s progress, we’re OK with the wipes.
- Pretty Lights: J found a band while watching a WoW raid boss kill video. He really liked the music that was used during the video and he did some research and found a band called Pretty Lights. All their music is free and you can give a donation if you feel so inclined. Their style is electronic, soul, funk and R&B. He’s a DJ out of Colorado and it’s not your typical hip hop give it a try! They have a cool, smooth vibe and Renee really enjoy it. Good job, J!
- Blue Snowball Mic: Our Blue Snowball Mic came in this weekend and tested it and did some test recordings. We really enjoy the mic and we sound great. We can’t wait to get content out there for you all and us!
