i'm selfish and vain, when it comes down to it

credit goes to Sherwin for this awesome photo of my dip ~ TY!! 

I can always count on my girlfriend Heidi to make sure I'm covered.  I told her I needed a fall recipe to make for a fall party, and she came through again, big time, when she sent me a link to this Pumpkin Fluff Dip .

It met every single one of my very high, strict standards:  

1.  Easy, Peesy.
2.  Looks Great.
3.  Tastes Good.

Note:  Easy and Great Presentation come before "Good" only by My standards.  Really, the "it was Good" part could and arguably should be number one, because it Was very good.  I am just selfish and vain when it comes to my food preparation and I won't lie ~ Easy & Looks Great come #1 and #2.  If it tastes good too ~ Touchdown!! ;)

It was perfectly fluffy, and lightly pumpkin'y ~ the pumpkin flavor cut in half by the cool whip was where it was at ~ even the non-pumpkin lovers, loved it.  Rhett handled the squash cutting and scooping, as I whipped up the dip. The dip was enough to fill 3 gourds.  I served one platter with cinnamon cracker sticks, one platter with sliced apples dipped in lemon juice and sprinkled with cinnamon, and one platter with caramels because... it is October, and every fall table should include some caramel, in my opinion.

It's just as easy as it looks..

Um, THANK YOU! I now know what I'm bringing to any and all fall parties I may attend. These look delish. Too bad I'm allergic to apples right?

It can be quite dangerous to be involved in online gaming. There's a lot of danger and evil lurking in each and every corner. In this article, we will give you good advice on how to get the most out of the time you have for video games. We will also share some innovative recommendations and tricks. Continue below.

Don't let gaming consume your life. Too much online gaming can be unhealthy. You need to be sure that you do other activities too. Computer Games can be addictive, so just make sure that you moderate your usage.

IF you want to find discount games for kids, look at sales in your area. Some video rental businesses are hurting now. Keep your eyes open, and you may see stores that are going out of business and offering merchandise at steep discounts. Usually the discs are still good but may need a cleaning.

Play in single player mode first. If you are not doing well by yourself, you will get demolished when playing with other people. If you find the game too challenging, make a trade for something you like more. Avoid wasting your time when it comes to computer games.

Be bold and give lots of kinds of video games a try! Most people tend to play just one kind of game. By experimenting with various kinds of online games, you create a more exciting experience.

Utilize the security and parental control tools offered by most games. You may want to see if this game can be played online. If so, limit your children's Internet access. Also, keep an eye on the requests for friends and how much time they can play.

Never clean your system, no matter the age, with strong cleaners. Lightly blowing can help to remove dust, and this is often all it takes to get things up and running. You can destroy your console if you use harsh chemicals on it.

Sequels don't always suck. Game sequels are usually better than the original games. To get some background material about the story, just read the box. As well, you can find intelligence about the initial game by reading the reviews about it online.

Many modern online games give you two choices. First, you can earn in-game content and rewards gradually through investment of your time and work. Or, you can just flat out buy them with your real world money. Consider how much advantage these purchases will actually give you in game. Many cash purchases don't really do that much to help you win the game. Or, they might improve it a lot and save you tons of time.

Buying a new game is tougher than you may think. You might waste a lot of money on a game you end up hating. Read game reviews before making a purchase.

Figure out how to operate the safety and parental controls of any gaming system that comes into your home. You can likely make adjustments that keep kids from viewing mature content. Some allow each gaming profile to be customized separately, allowing adults to enjoy games not meant for younger audiences.

There are many computer games to explore, but if you want the best experience, you have to play the best games. This article provided you with much needed information. You may be amazed by the enjoyment you get from them.
