Imagine a world that’s yours to shape, build and explore. Imagine the possibilities, then jump head first into the reality. LittleBigPlanet puts the power of absolute creation into your own hands. If you can see it, you can enhance it. If you can’t see it, you can invent it.
The LittleBigPlanet experience starts with players learning about their character’s powers to interact physically with the environment. There are places to explore, creative resources to collect and puzzles to solve – all requiring a combination of brains and collaborative teamwork. As soon as players begin, their creative skills will grow and they will soon be ready to start creating and modifying their surroundings – the first step to sharing them with the whole community.
Characters have the power to move anything in this glued and stitched-together 3D landscape; they have the power to design, shape and build both objects and entire locations for others to view and play. There’s no complicated level editor; all of these skills can be learned by simply playing the game. Creativity is part of the game play experience and playing is part of the creative experience.
Fathom out ways to overcome tricky obstacles as you interact with the surrounding environment, or compose inspirational locations and objects that are totally unique to you. Immerse yourself in an organic world that’s just waiting to be personalized.
Players can make their world as open or as secretive to explore as they like. When it’s ready, they can invite anyone within the LittleBigPlanet community to come and explore their patch – or can go and explore everybody else’s.

Winter Spaghetti with Broccoli & Portobello

Winter Spaghetti with Broccoli & Portobello <div class="hrecipe h-recipe jetpack-recipe" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Recipe"><div class="jetpack-recipe-content"></div></div>
I got a blender for my birthday, and it’s really been paying off. I’ve been wanting to explore soups and sauces for awhile now and after reading Thomas Keller’s advice on soup I decided it was high-time. So the first soup I made was something I called "Three Root Soup" and I’ll write that one up after a bit here, but the second go-round was less planned. I was making pasta sauce as I usually do and decided to throw it in the blender.

This was the result!

INGREDIENTS
——————————–

2-4 T. olive oil
2-3 T. bacon fat (or 1/2 cup of pancetta rendered)
2-3 T. balsamic vinegar
1 head of garlic, finely chopped
1/2 – 1 T. red pepper flakes
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
A pinch of sugar…

1 large portobello mushroom, diced
1 large portobello mushroom, sliced
1 T. butter
1 large can of whole peeled tomatoes (get fresh if you’re making this in the summer)
1/2 white onion, diced
1 large carrot, diced
1-2 cups broccoli, quartered

This recipe is mostly inspired from an investigation into trying to make vegetarian dishes that taste amazing. I’m not a vegetarian, but I do believe that humans eat too much meat these days, so I’ve taken up the challenge of attempting vegetarian dishes that stand up to any dish, no excuses. Also, because I love vegetables.

DIRECTIONS
——————————–
SAUCE
So the first thing to do is get the sauce together. It can be made ahead of time and this yields enough that I’d recommend packing it away anyhow. I usually start pasta sauces with three crucial elements. Fat/oil, aromatic (in this case garlic), and heat/spice (red pepper flakes). This way you’re flavoring the oil with the intensity of whatever robust flavors you want.

Heat up your bacon fat, or render your fatty pork in a large skillet over medium heat. Then add your olive oil, red pepper flakes and garlic. When the garlic is just starting to turn brown, throw in the onion. Make sure the garlic doesn’t get past golden brown and then throw in the mushroom and the balsamic. Continue to saute; once the mushroom is about 3/4 of what it was add your carrots. Now saute this for a good bit, making sure the carrots release a little sugar and the mushrooms soak up some of that tasty fat/garlic.

After that pop in the can of whole tomatoes and start mashing them with your wooden spoon. Don’t worry too much about size here but you want them opened and cut up so they trade flavors. You might want to turn up the heat just a notch or so here since now we’re working with a sauce instead of a hash of sorts.

About 10-15 minutes in you should have what looks like a pretty rustic pasta sauce. This is good, so taste it. It’s probably not salty enough, so add the parmesan cheese now. Taste it again, if it needs a bit more salt add some more cheese. It probably needs something else though, that something is sugar. Add a pinch. Better? Don’t add too much but sugar will help. You can add some fresh cracked black pepper as well. Interact with your food here and tweak it, it’s the difference-maker.

Once it tastes up to snuff, throw it in the blender bit by bit and get-a-blendin’. Taste it again, it’ll probably be better because it’s more homogenous now. You can still tweak the taste here, maybe it needs a bit more balsamic, or olive oil! Who knows, but you’ve gotta feel your food. Don’t be afraid, just make small changes and test. Now onto the pasta.

PASTA & ETC.
I like thick spaghetti here for this sauce. Because the sauce is blended pretty well, spaghetti or any noodle is a nice choice for a lot of coverage. Ideally I’d love bucatini in this recipe, but sadly America hates bucatini. I have no idea why…

First off though, take those slices of portobello mushroom in a skillet over medium heat with a T. of butter and give them enough space to cook. Think of these guys like strips of meat. Brown them on both sides, toss with some salt and fresh-cracked pepper and you’ll be eating these like candy.

Boil a big pot of water into a raging boil. Next add a handful- yes a handful of salt. It should taste like seawater. I’m not kidding. To save time, you can actually blanch the broccoli right here in the same water you’re going to cook the pasta in. So just throw the broccoli in, after no more than 2 minutes, get it out with a slotted spoon. If you’re picky about color, throw it in an ice-bath to stop the cooking process, otherwise just leave it out on the cutting board like I do.

Next throw your pasta in the water. Now, I’d of loved to make my own pasta here, but I’m still working on making my own noodles taste proper consistently. For this thick spaghetti it should take around 5-7 minutes to cook. Fish out a noodle from time to time and bite it. Look at it. In the center you should see a faint bit of lighter color, it’s pretty much done there. Turn off the burner, pour the pot into a colander and put the drained pasta right back into the pot you were cooking in. Put a cup of sauce or whatever you prefer back into t

The Big Red Tractor and the Little Village
“Forgotten God for kids”. A timeless parable for children from best-selling author Francis Chan.
The villagers loved the big, red tractor. It helped them grow enough food to get them through the year. But it was hard to use, and it didn’t work very well. Even with everyone helping to push and pull the tractor, they couldn’t get much done. Everyone believed that was just how things were. That is, until Farmer Dave discovered a long-lost book in a dusty attic. Could it really change everything? Farmer Dave thinks so. But the other villagers aren’t so sure.
The Big Red Tractor and His Little Village is a contemporary parable sharing a timeless truth: God has a special purpose for you and you can fulfill it through the help of his Spirit. It’s a powerful lesson perfectly told for little hearts.
