ZOMG! It's A Girl!

So today started a new holiday in Azeroth (World of Warcraft) called “Love Is In The Air.” It’s WoW’s Valentine’s Day that lasts for two weeks. There is a meta achievement called “The Love Fool” that I will be trying to get within those two weeks. It’s a pain in the ass but I’m determined! The original article can be found here from WoWVault. I am only posting the Horde walkthrough seeing as how Alliance sucks

 

1. Start in Thunder Bluff.
2. Get Uncommon Scents and A Gift For the High Chieftan. Note that picking up the Gift quest will automatically give you a Love Charm Collector’s Kit. Make sure you save it for later. Also note that the Gift quests are daily quests to give you more tokens.
3. One of the goblins offers one of three possible random daily quests. You can work on these as you do other quests. These quests appear in any faction major city and may be turned in to any goblin in any of the same cities.
   • A Cloudlet of Classy Cologne – Use your cologne gun on any player or NPC that doesn’t already have a heart over their head.
   • A Perfect Puff of Perfume – Use your perfume gun on any player or NPC that doesn’t already have a heart over their head.
   • Bonbon Blizt – Use the Chocolate Sample on any player or NPC that doesn’t have a heart over their head.
1. While doing quests and traveling around be sure to use the Dungeon Finder for Halls of Stone, Utgarde Keep and Ahn’kahet. Ebon Bouquets of Roses drop from Maiden in HoS, Prince in UK, and Prince in OK. ***My Love Is Like A Red Red, Rose Complete!***
2. Travel to Orgrimmar. Turn in Uncommon Scents and get Something Stinks.
3. Get A Gift For The Warchief.
4. Use the Air Analyzer on heavily perfumed guards that you will find throughout the city. They have a purple glow on them. Turn in when complete.
5. Get Pilfering Perfume and head outside the gates of Orgrimmar. Follow the Orgrimmar wall east. When you find the stockpile of Chemical Co goods DONT STOP. Just run by them and run away. They’ll toss you a parcel. If you stop, they’ll see through your disguise. Turn in when complete.
6. Get Snivel’s Sweetheart and go to Gotri’s Traveling Gear in The Drag and turn in.
7. Get Hot On the Trail. Go to the Orgrimmar bank and wait for the event to finish. Then go to the Auction House and wait for the event to finish. Finally go to the Barber Shop and wait for the event to finish. Then return to Gotri’s and turn in.
8. Get A Friendly Chat… Go to Eastern Zepplin tower outside the gates of Orgrimmar where you’ll find the goblin. Speak to him then go back to Orgrimmar and turn in.
9. Get Man on the Inside and Crushing the Crown. This quest has several different versions depending on your level. Only the level 80 version is covered in this guide.
10. Travel to Crystalsong Forest in Northrend. Throw your bombs at the Chemical wagons and kill enough of the surrounding mobs to complete your quest.
11. Now is the time to farm some mobs in Northrend. Your Love Charm Collector’s Kit that your got earlier will allow you to collect Love Tokens from any mobs or players that yield expierence or honor to you. You must get the killing blow to get a charm. You don’t get a charm every time you kill something. 10 Charms can be used to make a bracelet. You will need 12 bracelets for your achievement but if you don’t want to farm that long then just get 4 for now.
12. When you have four bracelets, go to Dalaran and take the portal to the Thunder Bluff.
13. Visit Cairne Bloodhoof and turn in.
14. Travel to Orgrimmar. Turn in Crushing the Crown ***Dangerous Love Complete!***
15. Visit Thrall and turn in.
16. Travel to the Undercity. In the Lorderan throne room above ground, get A Gift For The Banshee Queen.
17. Visit Sylvannas and turn in.
18. In the Bazaar, get A Gift For The Regent Lord of Quel’Thalas.
19. Go visit the Regent Lord and turn in. ***Nation of Adoration Complete!***
20. Return to the Undercity. Visit the Love Token vendor in the Lorderan throne room above ground. Purchase a Handful of Rose Petals and a bottle of perfume or cologne. Also visit your nearest booze vendor and purchase enough alchohol to get smashed.
21. Find Jeremiah Payson the Cockroach Vendor in the center of Undercity. Get completely smashed by binge drinking (in game ya noobs!), apply some perfume/cologne, throw a handful of rose petals at Jeremiah then /kiss him. ***Flirt With Disaster Complete!***
22. Travel to Shadowfang Keep in Silverpine Forest. Find a group and turn in Man on the Inside to the goblin at the Courtyard door.
23. Get You’ve Been Served. Open the Serving Kit then go turn in to Crown Co. Apothecary in the courtyard. Doing so will activate them so be careful not to turn in at the same time as another person in your group. They will respawn so you can turn in and kill them again. ***Tough Love Complete!***
    • Tactics
    • Frye needs to be tanked by the actual tank of the group. He throws perfume or cologne vials so the rest of the people in the group should pick a vial then just stay put in the cloud that they are immune to since the boss throws the perfume/cologne pretty often. Avoid clouds you’re not immune to. You need two player capable of holding threat. It doesn’t mean you need two tanks, just two people who can hang onto a mob. The person tanking Baxter should use the cologne nuetralizer and the person tanking Hummel should use the perfume nuetralizer. This will make them nearly immune to the damage those mobs do.
    • Adds will spawn who like to explode and will deal some damage but for the most part they can be ignored.
1. Now all you need to do is continue doing daily quests for enough tokens to buy enough items to finish your achievements as outlined in the next steps.
2. If you haven’t yet, finish making your bracelets for your achievement. If you want, you can turn them in for 1 Love Token each. ***Charming Complete!***
3. Purchase a Bag of Candies from the vendor. Use the bag to create heart candies with different sayings on them. You need to eat one with every different saying on it. The candies are not BoP so you can give or trade your extras for the ones you do need. ***Be Mine! Complete!***
4. Either purchase a picnic basket or find someone with one in Dalaran. Sit down with them by using the basket. Eat a Buttermilk Delight, Sweet Surprise, Dark Desire and Very Berry Cream. All of these have a chance to drop inside a Box of Chocolates. ***Sweet Tooth & Lonely? Complete!***
5. Purchase 10 Silver Shafted Arrows and shoot players with it. It does not work on NPCs. ***Shafted! Complete!***
6. Purchase 10 Love Rockets. Hotkey them and fire them off as fast as you can. ***The Rocket’s Pink Glare Complete!***
7. Purchase 10 Handful of Rose Petals. Use the rose petals on a Gnome Warlock, Human Death Knight, Night Elf Priest, Draenei Paladin, Dwarf Hunter, Orc Shaman, Tauren Druid, Troll Rogue, Undead Warrior and Blood Elf Mage. I recommend hanging out above the Violet Gate in Dalaran where people portal into the city. I would also recommend Wintergrasp or any Battleground if you’re having trouble finding the class/race combos you need. Red Bouquets of Roses and Ebon Bouquets of Roses will not work for this achievement. ***Fistful of Love Complete!***
8. Purchase 5 Love Fools. Travel to Wintergrasp, Gurubashi Arena, The Culling of Stratholme, Arathi Basin Blacksmith and Naxxramas. When you arrive at each location, use your Love Fool then target him and /pity him. ***I Pitied The Fool Complete!***

Grats! You’re now a Love Fool!

I’ve killed 600 Deviate raptors in the Wailing Caverns and still no Deviate Hatchling =( I’ve ready multiple posts with people saying that they got the pet to drop in just a handful of clears but I apparently don’t have that kind of luck. *sigh* I plan to do another 10 clears tomorrow since I did 10  yesterday and 10 today. Right now the hatchlings are on the Ghostlands AH for 1100g each. I’m just not willing to pay that much for this pet. So, I’m not giving up on farming quite yet.

On a side note, I have blown through season 5 of Lost in just a few days. I am currently watching “The Incident Part I” and plan to watch the second part tonight as well. I haven’t decided if I’m going to watch the first-second episode of season 6 yet. I don’t know if I want to stay up that late haha. Quite honestly, it’s been a little hard for my brain to keep up with all the twists and turns but I think I know what’s going on… notice I said “I think” haha.

Signing off for now to finish up this season. I’ll be back tomorrow =) Cheers!

This super simple dessert only takes minutes to make and the results are worth every second! Whether you’re entertaining guests and need a quick dessert that is sure to please or if you’d just like to indulge in a guilty pleasure, this sweet and chocolaty dessert is for you!

Prep: 15 minutes

Servings: 8 to 10

Ingredients

• 2  oz. malted milk balls (about 2/3 cup)
• 4  oz. milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
• 3  oz. bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
• 3  cups whipping cream
• 1/3  cup chocolate malted milk powder
• 2  Tbsp. chocolate liqueur, almond liqueur, or milk
• 1/2  tsp. vanilla
• 1  Tbsp. sugar
• 2  tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
•   Malted milk balls (optional)

Directions

1. Place the 2 ounces malted milk balls in large re-sealable plastic bag and finely crush with rolling pin. Set aside.

2. For mousse, in small saucepan heat milk chocolate and bittersweet chocolate with 1/4 cup of the whipping cream over low heat until smooth, stirring constantly. Stir in malted milk powder, liqueur, and vanilla. Cool to room temperature.

3. In large chilled mixing bowl with chilled beaters beat 1-3/4 cups whipping cream to stiff peaks (peaks stand straight). Stir about 1/2 cup of the whipped cream into melted chocolate mixture; fold chocolate mixture back into remaining whipped cream. Fold in crushed malted milk balls. Spoon into 1-1/2- to 2-quart dish or 8 to 10 small bowls or glasses. Cover and refrigerate.

4. In medium chilled bowl combine remaining 1 cup whipping cream, sugar, and cocoa powder; beat to soft peaks. Spoon on mousse. Top with malted milk balls.

So I recently found out that there were new raptor hatchling pets added in patch 3.2 in World of Warcraft. Yes, I’m behind the times seeing as how patch 3.3 already came out >.< I did a little research online and found this in a forum post:

I bought the first hatchling in Dalaran. I checked out Takk first; she was there but no nest. Then I decided to farm Wailing Caverns for the Deviate Hatchling. I did 10 clears which is 300 raptors, no luck there either (but I will continue to run WC until it drops, I can do 5 runs per hour). Then, I moved on to Dustwallow Marsh for Dart’s nest, again no luck. My next stop was Un’goro, but again no luck. I decided to stop by the auction house to see how much these pets were going for. I bought the Leaping Hatchling for 200g, The Ravasaur and Darting Hatchlings for 600g each. I figured I’d rather just spend the money (which is easily earned for me) than spend hours running around trying to find these nests. I have yet to check out Wetlands for the Razormaw nest. If I don’t find it with my first few passes, I’ll end up buying this from the AH as well. *Update: Bought the Razormaw Hatchling from the AH.*

Tomorrow, I will continue to farm WC and also try to clear ZG a couple times in order to get the Razzashi hatchling. The Gundrak hatchling will be the hardest to farm I believe. Though, I have heard that the respawn time for the raptors it drops from is very low. So there is next to no downtime whilst farming, that’s good news!

I did take a picture on my farming adventure into WC and I found this amusing. This is Amedeah standing in a circle of dead raptors haha.

Valentine’s Day is coming up fast so I thought I’d share one of my favorite cookie recipes with you. This is an awesome cookie that you could make for your loved one or even something that you could make together as a fun activity!

Makes: About 30 cookies

Prep: 45 minutes

Bake: 7 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup egg substitute
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups all-purpose flour*
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup cherry jam or preserves, or seedless raspberry preserves

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375° F. In a large bowl beat butter and oil with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat until mixture is combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg substitute and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour.

2. Shape dough into 3/4-inch balls. For each cookie on an ungreased or parchment paper-lined cookie sheet place 2 dough balls side by side with one side touching. Press thumbs into each ball to form an indentation in each (see above picture). Press in center of each with thumb and taper bottom of cookie with fingers to form a heart shape. Repeat with remaining dough balls, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.

3. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven and transfer cookies to a wire rack. While warm, fill each indentation with jam or preserves (if necessary, snip any large pieces of fruit). Cool completely.

*For an extra punch of fiber and protein, substitute white whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour.

To Store: Place filled cookies in a single layer in covered storage containers and store at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.

Enjoy!!

Adorable! Scary! I want to hug him from a safe distance.

Woke up around 2:30 today *yawn* I was having awesome dreams so I was rather irked to wake up. But my stupid dog barking at invisible people woke me up anyway *grumble* I didn’t want to leave my warm bed that smells like Rob =(

I stayed up almost until 3am watching season 5 of Lost. I’m trying so hard to catch up. I’ve never been current with Lost. I started on season 1 when season 5 was already out on TV. I blew through 4 seasons in about 2 weeks. I just found season 5 on Netflix instant play, so I’ve started watching it hardcore =)

I’m thinking of logging onto WoW in a bit. I haven’t really played all that much in the last week and a half. Been busy catching up on How I Met Your Mother haha. I really need to try and hit the daily dungeon so I can get more badges to upgrade my gear. I’ve just been super lazy and haven’t wanted to deal with stupid people >.<

I just made a sammich and I’m going to start up the next episode of Lost. Cheers!
