Noteworthy Nibbles — Feb. 10-16, 2009
With romance in the air, why not spend time with your first two loves in life, food, and wine? Thankfully, there's no shortage of celebration for that this week, with numerous wine and food festivities around the country. Right now, I'm pondering a date-night cooking class — a fun date and an ideal way to get him cooking.
Toy Box: Pick-Up Words
You taught your wee one how to pick up her room, but now it's time to teach her how to pick-up a few new words. The educational game, Pick-Up Words ($16), is a great way to get your child engaged in learning basic words while improving hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
You'll be happy to know that the game is also environmentally friendly as the sticks are made from bamboo and the packaging is made from 100 percent post consumer recycled paper.
What's the Deal With Ladder Golf?
Backyard games are a way of making a BBQ fun, instead of sedentary. To keep yourself from lounging with beer bottle in hand, you should investigate Ladder Golf ($100), aka Blongo. The word golfis a little misleading because there are no clubs or holes involved in Ladder Golf, and sorry, no golf carts either.
How Would You . . .
This folky, colorful game board — for God-knows-what game — was originally used in 19th century America and will cost you a whopping $2,250. If I wanted to play a board game, I'd go for a round of Scrabble, honestly. But obviously, the appeal of this piece for many is its antiquity.
What's the Deal With Cornhole?
You may have noticed it at the beach, your cousin's barbecue, or the graduation party you went to last weekend. It may just look like adults playing bean bag toss, but it's more than that: It's cornhole.
Cornhole has been, dare I say, sweeping the nation, and it makes a great Memorial Day activity because it's generally pretty portable and basically anyone can play.
Flashback: Pie Face
We've seen many effed-up games come out of the '60s, but this one takes the cake pie. Or actually, the players do. They sit around, wind a handle, and wait for a pie to smack 'em in the mug.
Guess-the-Google: A Great Sunday Time Waster
If football doesn't float your boat but you still want to have some fun today, Grant Robinson has created a fun game called Guess-the-Google. Guess-the-Google shows twenty images arranged in a grid formation where you have to guess the keyword that created the montage. Once you open the website click Launch Project to open the game.
Casa Craving Recap: Good Looking Games
For this week's Casa Craving Challenge, I asked you to seek out some good looking games. Your finds were quite impressive, and actually I'm considering buying some of them as holiday gifts! Or, just for myself (one for you, two for me).
Would You Eat This Paté?
I've found us the perfect item for a special holiday edition of Would You Eat This. You may have heard of duck or goose paté, but how about reindeer paté? It's a paté made from cuts of Swedish Artic Reindeer meat, cognac and spices.
