Dead easy to make.
Ingredients
Two egg yolks
2/3 Cup of caster sugar
125g cream cheese
125g milk chocolate
125g dark chocolate
600ml thickened cream.
Beat the egg yolks, sugar and cheese together.
Melt the chocolate and beat into the cheese mixture (be really careful to make sure the chocolate isn't hot and is only just melted - you're not looking to cook your egg yolk).
In a separate bowl beat the cream until it's whipped and peaks are forming. Fold through the chocolate mixture. Refrigerate overnight.
You can make a ton of variations - for white mousse (which is divine with fresh fruit) just use 250 white chocolate instead of milk and dark. For Rum n Raisin just use Old Jamaica, You get the idea.

Games
I have enjoyed running the three games I have... (two more and I'm an ace, or is that fighter pilots)
In any case, they have all had a similar theme; Knights of the Old Republic - Rebirth of the Jedi was all about a team of five people; two Jedi, one pilot, one medic, one...other. They had to search the galaxy for clues as to why there were not as many Jedi in this generation as the last, and why the number kept falling. (Minbari souls were being reborn in stolen plots)
Stargate - SG.5 was about a team of four searching for technology to help save the planet from the weird alien creatures that wanted nothing more than to take the planets population as slaves.
Knights of the Old Republic - Redemption is a game about Jedi students finding their way in the galaxy.
Most of my games are set as searches, games of discovery. Generally about grabbing your gun and fighting the bad guys. I have enjoyed all of them, but right now I want to try something new.
Which is why I have been designing a political game set in Azeroth (World of Warcraft). I asked myself the question: what can you not do in WoW that you can do in a game. The answer was to effect the world, change it. So that is what this game will be set out to do. Granted there will be the occasional combat, but I wanted to have focus on the political nature of Stormwind and the Alliance. The guild that the team represents wants more influence in the Alliance, so every action the team takes will be called into account.
I need to write more on it, cause I'm starting to like it quite a bit.

Bursting with ideas
Well, this could be an interesting outlet. Since I can't access LJ from work, Blogger will have to suffice. And since it is part of the long arm of Google, things are organised to my liking.
I guess this blog will cover lots of things; work, roleplaying, Warhammer 40k, just to name a few. Just little random things that are best not stored in my head...I feel like I'm running out of hard drive space in there, and installing a higher capacity drive is more difficult than it should be.
