Diablo 3 Secret Whimsyshire Level Guide


This little piece of jewellery lies underneath the frozen desecrates of Areat. Go to Act III and begin the last quest, waypoint to Bridge of Korsikk and enter the Fields of Slaughter. In there, search for the Caverns of Frost and start boring through monsters till you stagger into the boss mob which is Chiltara that plunges the gibbering gem. Only some people on the community boards signify that the cave most often spawns top left, bottom left and top right of the map and there is frequently just one cave spawning during a single load. If you get Icefall Caves or whatever thing that is not Caverns of Frost, it’s reload time.

“A delicious and easy appetizer. The balsamic vinegar gives it a little bite. Dried basil can be substituted but it is best with fresh.” Like I’ve said before, my sister’s boyfriend Steve is a great cook. Once when they were visiting Bob and I in Chicago, he made these Double Tomato Bruschetta appetizers. They are a-mazing! No wonder they have a 5/5 rating on Allrecipes.com! My sister and I made them for my mom and aunt on Mother’s Day 2008, and they raved about them, so I made them when my mom and sister recently visited. I really don’t think you can go wrong with tomatoes and fresh basil, but the addition of sun-dried tomatoes elevates this bruschetta to a new level of yumminess. This is a must-try recipe!

Food Recipe: Stuffed Potatoes – Papas Rellenas, Colombia

colombia

Our “Finca” (farm) in Colombia was about 5 hours from my home city of Medellín, although the roads are much better now and you can get there in about two to three hours. For vacation, my parents and I (as well as many relatives and their families) would go to the farms and have wonderful family reunions. We would always take the “ladder bus” that would leave Medellín at exactly 3:30 a.m.. At 7:00 a.m. the bus would always make the breakfast stop at the riverside town of Bolombolo, a dusty, hot town that survived by serving food, providing cheap accommaccommodations and selling trinkets to the buses going by. Since Bolombolo possessed the only bridge across the Cauca River for several hundred kilometers, the bus and trucking trade was very lucrative for the inhabitants. I always looked forward to our stop for breakfast in Bolombolo as this town was famous for its “empanadas” and its “papas rellenas”. I always had two of each with a large cup of hot chocolate. Pure heaven!

Food Recipe: The Classic French Bistro Sandwich – Croque Monsieur

You can always rely upon the French to add a certain “je ne sais quoi” to even the simplest food …including the humble cheese and ham sandwich. The croque-monsieur (which becomes a croque-madame if you top it with a fried egg) is a great favourite in French cafés & bistros, and there are as many methods of crafting it as there are cafés! This one works for me. But, please be warned … it’s not for calorie-counters, the Cholesterol Police or those of a nervous disposition!!
