 Gaming Goes ‘Old Skool’

If you prefer Atari to Wii or have dreams of getting your name on the Galaga Top Ten High Score Table, We’d like to introduce you to what could easily become your new addiction: Escape From the Slaughterhouse . Created by Mikael Romlin, this game is for the “old skool” gamer in all of us. It has a Crystal Castles feel, but instead of collecting gems and trying to escape Berthilda the Witch, you are searching for cages in each level in order to set your friends free and trying to escape from the slaughterhouse.

Bremont is becoming one of my favorite English brands at this moment. I have written about Bremont before, covering their Martin Baker project and Bremont watches in general.  Their collection of chronographs is just stunning and blows away the direct competition without having the typical ‘we are better than the rest’ attitude.

 Cape Malay Tomato Bredie

We are talking Soccer and South African Cape Malay cuisine in this post. If you are a soccer fan,you might already know South Africa is the honored host of World cup Soccer 2010 .Soccer runs in my family,I was no Mia Hamm,but was deeply influenced by the game from my daddy dearests soccer passion.He had immense skill at the game, played for his school team,that gave him an athletic persona.He continues his passion ,follows the world cup series closely.I remember the nights he stayed awake ,when the world cup games were aired at odd mid-night hours.The passion is passed on to my son Nabeel,who is beginning to show interest in the game.I get the title of soccer mom,for being there for all his games,rain or shine.I also love practicing the game with him,not to mention,gives me a good work out. Now, to be good at the game,a well-balanced meal is essential.That brings us to the recipe of the day.Bredie,a luscious slow cooked tomato and lamb stew,one of the most favored dishes of the South African Cape Malay Cuisine,that is rich in protein and has good serving of vegetables.Bredie is best devoured with Yellow rice(brown rice preferably) and stir fried vegetables on side and some fresh sliced mangoes for a sweet finish.A meal that my daddy dearest would wholly appreciate.I know he is watching his cholesterol and is low on red meat,which is why I use lean meat for the recipe with vegetarian alternative.
