I recently started get rid of old software that I know I wouldn’t use any more. In this software closet clean out, I came across some of my old favourite games, like ‘Day of The Tentacle’, ‘Secret of Monkey Island’ and ‘Full Throttle’. Upon the recovery of these old point and click adventure games I got an instant feeling of nostalgia and need to play the games again. Unfortunately I only have the old DOS-versions of the game, and I haven’t been able to find a decent DOS-emulater, that lets me play those games on WinXP, so somebody PLEASE HELP ME!
Besides the games mentioned above I had a lot of other Lucas Arts Entertainments adventure games, like ‘The Dig’, ‘Sam And Max’ and many more, but I was stupid enough to sell a lot them about 10 years ago. Now I really really really want to play them again, so where can I buy them?
So to sum up: Please help me find places to buy old Lucas Arts adventure games, and help me get my computer to play them.
Risklatter – A Danish dessert tradition October 22, 2008

Every year, when the leaves start leaving the trees, the temperature is falling and the days are getting shorter, people like to curl up under blankets, with cups of hot chokolade. Around this time of year, people (at least in scandinavia) start eating more heavy wintery food, one example of this is Danish Rice Porridge (recipe at the bottom of this page).
So where am I going with this. Well from the leftovers of rice porridge, you can actually make two different very good desserts. One is a tradition rice pudding, which you can find lots of recipes for. The other is ‘Risklatter’ I haven’t found any existing english term for this, but it roughly translates to Rice Lumps. These are a pure Danish tradition, so I would recommend giving them a try. I’ve tried to translate the recipe the best I could. here you can find the original risklatter recipe in danish.
So go make a big portion of rice porridge, and use the leftover to make risklatter. This is a cheap and delicious meal, and the risklatter is a perfect dessert for soup.
Risklatter:
400 g cold Rice porridge
2 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp flour
½ tbsp vanilla
2 eggs
30 g melted margarine
Mix the ingredients, and fry lumps of 1/4 inch thickness on a pan. Make the lumps 3 to 4 inches in diameter.
Danish Rice Porridge:
3 cups of milk (skim or regular)
1 cup of pearl rice.
1/2 tsp salt (optional)
sugar and cinnamon mixed together (some supermakets have it in their spice section)
butter
Pearl rice is short and plumb compared to regular long rice. Long rice will not work well in this dish, as they cannot soak up as much moisture.
Use a thick bottomed pot, if you have one. Rub a stick of butter against the bottom, which will prevent the rice from sticking to it.
Pour the milk in and bring it to a slow boil. Pour the rice in, while stirring, and turn the heat down. Cover and let simmer for about 50 minutes. Add salt if desired.
Serve on plates. On each serving, place a small piece of butter in the center of the porridge and sprinkle some of the sugar-and-cinnamon on top.
