Project 1
The first is the “Every Day Objects” game described here. The latest Every Day Object appears in the right-hand sidebar (clicking the image leads […]

Another edition of the Black Mage’s Pro at Cooking, I bring you:

A Simple Breakfast
An omelette. Just an omelette. No toast, nor bacon, ham or sausage, nor fruit. A tall glass of milk.
