How Old is your Brain and FOOD FRENZY FRIDAY

Kevin left yesterday on a High Adventure Camp with the scouts. He will be back tomorrow and I'm ready for the break! Today started off crazy when I took 6 kids to the kids opera this morning. (4 of my kids, 1 neighbor kid I was babysitting and another neighbor that wanted to come along). The Opera was written by the kids and performed by them, their ages range from 5-14. I was actually surprised how well Jacob did, he sat and watched most of it. Later today wasn't any better as I took my four rowdy kids to the store. So between feeding, playing and running around with kids I think I'm entitled to get a romantic/comedy movie for myself tonight, and some ice cream! Anyway, my Brother sent this to me in an email and I thought it was fun and interesting. On my first try I was 39. Comment on what your Brain age is.
Read this carefully because the instruction on the site are in Chinese;

Procedure of Flash Fabrica Game:

1. Touch 'start'

2. Wait for the countdown to finish, i.e.: 3, 2, 1.

3. Memorize the number's position on the screen and their numerical order, then click the circle from
the smallest number to the biggest number. This sequence will repeat ~ 10 times until the game ends.

4. At the end of game, the computer will tell you how old your brain is in Years.

Good luck !!

Dave came home for dinner then went right back to work. The kid is in bed, so I have a romantic-comedy night planned myself. Too bad our husbands are both gone or we could do the chick flick thing together. lol.

Oh, the meatballs look good too. Yum!

BTW... I took that brain test twice. I was 35 both times.

That was fun I took the brain test and got 26. The food looks good too. I'll have to try and make it one of these days.

Those meatballs look yummy. I was a 20 both times I took the brain test. What does that mean anyway?? I wasn't very smart when I was 20... :)

Hey, I got a 22, and it was funny-surprising due to the fact that I'm prego and can't remember anything right now. And if cooking meat didn't make me sick, I would totally try your meatballs....thanks for the fun recipes.

I don't know if I dare take the brain test. I feel like my brain is fried.

The sauce sounds yummy!

Nat said...

That was a great game. My brain is 28. I only wish my body was that age also. I'll have to have Doug try that game too.
