Last Night on the Earth: The Zombie Game

Zombies have never received so much attention as they did in the past few years. Anything with zombies sells - doesn't matter if it's a computer game or a mod, a film or a book, zombies are popular and that's that. How lucky were the guys from Flying Frog Production that they based their first game on geek-favourite genre of gory zombie films, their game sold so well they've became a quite successful production company releasing a game every one or two years with a distinct style typical for all their games.

I bought the game along with its large expansion on a whim. I had money and wanted an impressive board game, zombies sounded good and the reviews weren't bad. So yeah, why not. And I must say I was quite pleased with what I got.

Music to bake to

Enjoying a cup of coffee in Ikea showroom... Like a boss

Since it seems I won't be baking anytime soon, I decided to share this thing of mine. Many will agree that baking is pretty awesome; it is actually quite epic, so why not listening to epic music while doing epic stuff? While my mum usually turn on radio and listen to traditional Czech songs sung by local folk groups or something (not very interesting), I like to play something that invokes of something great being made.

I either play something from my library or get last.fm to play me a customized radio based of tags. Seriously, you cannot go wrong with listening to a post-rock radio while baking, it usually invokes just the right atmosphere, however not every post-rock band makes glorious epic sound you'd expect them and they just make background ambient noise. How improper! :)

So I'll share couple of tracks that I think set the mood worthy of epic baking. Perhaps you'll find something you like and use it when it's time for feeling monumental.

Cookies with white chocolate and lime

Cookies!

I've bought a book called Galletas de último momento recently with a goal to learn some Spanish recipes for cookies (galletas). The cookies in the book are everything but "de último momento", usually they need special ingredient that I usually just DON'T have in my kitchen. But since I didn't bake anything for a month, I looked again into the book and found a relatively simple recipe for unusually sounding cookies. Lime and white chocolate? Hmmm....
