dose 4: board game variations, crepes, old food

3D Chess!Repeat wikipedia: Not to be confused with chess software with a 3D rendering.

Three-dimensional chess are chess variants. The most popular variants are: Raumschach, Tri-Dimensional Chess, and Asimovian Hyperchess.

Raumscach - German for "Space Chess". invented by Ferdinand Maack and played on a 5 x 5 x 5 board
Tri-Dimensional Chess - featured on Star Trek. rules here on Jens Meder's site.
Asimovian Hyperchess - eight chessboards stacked on top of each other. only a few recorded instances of the game actually being played

I think these are much nicer than the "versions" of Monopoly.

It turns out that you cannot make crepes simply by mixing flour and water and eggs in amounts and ratios that seem nice. So here is a recipe for you:

Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 c milk
2/3 c flour
1 pinch of salt
1.5 tsp vegetable oil

Instructions:
Mix everything and refrigerate covered for 1 hr. Heat a skillet over med heat and brush w/oil. Pour .25 c of mix in, tilting to coat surface of pan. Cook 2-5 minutes, turning once, until golden. Repeat with remaining mix.
Makes 8 crepes. Fill the crepes with jam, chocolate, fruits, Nutella, etc.

Things to do with old food:

tough bread: makes for good french toast
overripe bananas: easier to mush for banana bread
stale/too soft cookies: tastes good if crumbled and sprinkled on cupcakes, also I made some really tasty muffins with crushed old graham crackers mixed into the batter
overripe blueberries: make for the best blueberry muffins

There really isn't much to do with old food, actually. Most foods can be used for compost (post on home-grown foods to come). Surprisingly, cheese, meat, and fish cannot be composted.
