I’m playing THE OUTER WORLDS again, this time on hard mode and with the DLC “Peril on Gorgon” and “Murder on Eridanos.”

Real-life Mississippi Quantum Pie from FALLOUT 3

This is something new for me! It’s a cooking video with my interpretation of Sierra Petrovita’s “Mississippi Quantum Pie” from FALLOUT 3

There’s a thing called a “Mississippi Mud Pie” in the US, but it’s chocolate, which didn’t seem similar to Nuka Quantum at all so I assumed Sierra used something like mutfruit or Dandy Boy Apples, even though she didn’t ask for those ingredients during her quest. 

She also has a brahmin outside her home in Girdershade, so she probably used butter, too, even though she didn’t mention it. The “Brahmin Butter” I used was just regular unsalted butter, cut into cubes.

I tried to make my Mississippi Quantum Pie look like a cross between the Pipboy icon and the item as it appears in FALLOUT 3. The Pipboy icon looks very similar to a hand held fruit pie or turnover, not a dessert in a pie pan, and the in-game item looks like a mirelurk cake if you drop it from your inventory.  

The “Nuka Quantum” I used in this video was Jones Berry Lemonade Soda, the official Bethesda promotional soda that was available for a limited time during the relase of FALLOUT 4

I made the mutfruit and some of the other props that appear in this video. If you want to make your own Fallout props, check out these links:

I couldn’t eat it due to the gluten in the flour but my husband said it was delicious. I tasted the filling before it went into the crust and it sure was tangy and sweet.

I hope you have as much fun watching as I did making it!

Goth girls and their metal boyfriend

Left: Sarah (Jennifer Connolly) and Ludo, Labyrinth (1986). Right: Fawkes and Charity, Fallout 3

I was so goth as a kid, when I read the myth of Hades and Persephone, I begged my mom to buy me a pomegranate so I could eat the fruit of the Underworld and remain there forever. I was 9.

Game Night: The AMAZEing Labyrinth

Found this Ravensburger game “The aMAZEing Labyrith” for $4 at the charity shop. Players hunt for treasure in a constantly changing dungeon of shifting tiles. It was a lot of fun.

The game was designed by the German psychologist Max Kobbert and published in 1986, though the box I have says 2002. A Master Labyrinth version came out in 1991, Lord of the Rings version in 2003, Spiderman version in 2012, and many other variants over the years, including Disney villains, Paw Patrol and Super Mario.

I’d love to make Skyrim and Fallout versions. Seems like it would be fairly easy to adapt to any franchise.

“The aMAZEing Labyrinth” reminded me a little bit of an old game I played a lot in the 90s called Landlocked. It was also played with tiles, which made each game a unique experience.

Cat toys from old Fallout socks

I spent the morning making cat toys with my daughter’s old, worn out Fallout socks. There’s a kicker, a Vault 111 mouse and a Vault Boy catnip pillow, all stuffed with dryer lint.
