I noticed on Crave they have an article about the top 10 games you can dl on your Wii. The only game I’ve dled so far is old school bomberman which is such a fun game to play with a group of people. I’ll have to check some of these out. I forget to make use of the wide variety of games they have to dl for relatively cheap ($5-$10). Here is their top 10:

1. Super Mario 64 (N64)
2. Super Mario World (SNES)
3. Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past (SNES)
4. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
5. Super Metroid (SNES)
6. Paper Mario (N64)
7 Gunstar Heroes (GEN)
8. Star Fox 64 (N64)
9. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (GEN)
10. Ninja Gaiden II: Dark Sword of Chaos (NES)

My favorite type of frosting is of the cream cheese variety so when I saw this recipe on Slashfood touted as being “the last cream cheese frosting recipe you’ll ever need“, I knew I would have to bookmark it for future cupcake usage. The recipe is surprisingly simple:

Beat 8 oz. cold cream cheese (not rock solid, but it means you can use it straight out of the refrigerator) with 5 Tbsp. softened butter and 2 tsp. vanilla until combined. Gradually add 2 c. powdered sugar that has been sifted after measuring. Continue to add more sifted powdered sugar until you reach a consistency and sweetness that fits your taste.

Maybe this will give me a reason to whip up some halloween cupcakes tonight like these cute vampire ones:

Happy Halloween everybody!!
