  1. Went to TRU around 12:30 and was looking at the Wii games. The TRU employee tells me, "we're already sold out of the Wii."

     

    "I have a pre-order" I said smugly.

     

    So here is the breakdown:

     

    Wii $249.99

    Spongbob $49.99

    MonkeyBal $59.99

    Tony Hawk $49.99

     

    - $5 TRU coupon from deposit

    - $5 TRU coupon from today (yep, they took the same coupon twice!)

    - 10% on today's total for opening a TRU account

    - $30 for buying the 3 game bundle

     

    Total out of pocket = $350 for Wii and 3 games. Not bad.

     

    Now can anyone explain to me if I need to buy memory cards or do you get a certain amount with the Wii? Thanks.

    Its not needed... there is some memory builtin (512MB). It can be used for Saves, and downloads for the Virtual Console.

  2. Curious can you use pumpkin pie mix (in the can) or just pure pumpkin puree from can? Just curious if there is a difference besides spices?

     

    I just used the pumpkin puree... never tried the pumpkin pie mix

  3. I've made this for about 15 years now for thanksgiving. Last year I made 6 batches.

     

    Pumpkin Bread:

     

    3 cups Sugar

    3 1/2 cups Flour

    2 tsp. Baking Soda

    1/2 tsp. Salt

    Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.

     

    1 cup Oil

    2/3 cup Water

    4 eggs

    1 29 oz can (About 3 ½ cups) canned pumpkin

    2 cups chocolate chips

    3/4 chopped walnuts

     

    Make a well and place remaining ingredients in well.

     

    Mix and place in three well-greased loaf pans.

     

    Bake at 350 F for 1 hour until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean.
