Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:
·         Brownie Layer
·         4 ounces semisweet chocolate
·         4 ounces butter (1/2 cup)
·         1 cup granulated sugar
·         2 large eggs, lightly beaten
·         1 teaspoon vanilla
·         1/2 cup all purpose flour

Line a 9-inch sqaure baking pan with foil, leaving the ends long to help lift the baked brownies. Spray with baking spray or lightly grease and dust with flour.
Heat oven to 350°.
In a saucepan over very low heat, melt chocolate and butter together. Remove from the heat. Stir in sugar until smooth and let cool slightly. With a spoon, stir in the 2 beaten eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 cup flour, and the chopped nuts, if using. Beat with the spoon until well blended.

Spoon about 5 tablespoons of the chocolate batter into a cup and set aside. Spread the remaining chocolate batter in the prepared pan. Spoon the cream cheese batter over the chocolate layer and lightly spread to cover. Drop the reserved batter evenly over the cream cheese layer with a teaspoon. With a spatula or knife, lightly swirl the chocolate into the cream cheese layer.

Grilled Peaches and Pork

Pairing peaches with succulent pork is the ultimate summer supper. Balsamic vinegar and turbinado sugar bring out the sweetness of the peaches, while grilling the fruit caramelizes the sugars.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 ounces pork, 8 peach slices, 1 1/2 cups arugula, and 1/4 teaspoon sugar)
Ingredients
4 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut pork loin chops
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 large peaches, peeled, halved, and pitted (about 12 ounces)
Cooking spray
6 cups trimmed arugula
1 teaspoon turbinado or granulated sugar
Preparation
Place each piece of pork between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and pound each piece to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or a rolling pin.

Combine 2 tablespoons vinegar, juice, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon juice mixture. Pour the remaining juice mixture in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add pork; seal and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour, turning occasionally.

Preheat grill to medium heat.

Place peaches, cut sides up, on a plate; drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar.

Place pork on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 3 minutes on each side or until pork is done. Set aside.

Place peaches, cut sides down, on grill rack; grill 4 minutes or until soft and slightly browned. Turn and cook 2 minutes or until heated through. Cut each peach half into 4 slices. Slice pieces of pork into 1-inch-thick strips.

Drizzle trimmed arugula with reserved 1 tablespoon juice mixture, tossing to coat. Divide arugula evenly among 4 plates. Top with grilled pork strips and peach slices; sprinkle evenly with turbinado sugar.

2 Yews close to a bank, No competition!

Small guide on how to get 2 yew trees all to your self, close to a bank too.

Requirements:
60 Woodcutting (duh)
Quest: Defender of Varrock

All you have to do is complete the quest mentioned above to the point the zombies attack the palace. Now, just go into the palace with your axe, and maybe armor if you are low leveled. If you stand in between the first two yews, the zombies will never attack you.

Advantages:
2 Yew trees close to the GE
No competition
Counts as a PVP zone, so if you go in with 80k in your inventory, you earn EP

Disadvantages:
Lonely =(
Need to do a series of quests
Need to be an adequate Combat level
EP gain capped at 40% at a time, not a hot zone.
Need to run through zombies if you want to bank.


This spot is perfect if training firemaking, or low leveled woodcutting. After a bit, the zombies won't be aggressive, so burn to your hearts content.

Good luck.

1-99 Woodcutting!

__________________________________________________ _______________
Level 1-15:
The only real way to get to level 15 Woodcutting is to do normal logs. I usually start in Lumbridge Forest.

Level 15-30:
Now move onto Oak Logs. There are a few places where you can head. Draynor Bank is a really good option.

Level 30-99 (Free To Play)
Willows are the best from these levels. You can either Powerchop or bank them.

30-99 (Pay to Play)
Hit up Willow Trees till 60-65. The best spot is Catherby, just west of the bank.

From 60-65+ (Pay To Play)
You have two options. Continue cutting willow logs until 99, or you can move onto Yew Logs at around 75. This is totally up to you. Willow logs you won't make much of a profit at all, but Yew logs you will get at least 10M Gp.


I hope this guide has helped you beginners at becoming closer to your 99 Woodcutting.

Me getting Owned!

Ye , I lost my bank while Briding. Look at that

F2P Money: Wine Of Zamorak.

Making money in Runescape is easy ! if you knoe HOW. Wine of Zamorak is a good way to make money and train magic in Runescape [is NOT much magic exp, BUT is good method to make money] This is one of the best way to make money as a non-members. Wine of Zamorak is an ingredient used for Brew of Zamorak and Ranging Potions (Potion).



Requirement:

- 33 Magic but it is better if you have 37

- staff on air and some law runes and if you have 37 magic, a water rune.


Getting Ready:

Grab 28 Law Runes and Air Staff [or 28 Air Runes] *If you have 37 magic bring water rune.*

Location:

Wine of Zamorak is located in the Chaos temple North West of Falador.

***Once inside the temple you see zamorak. If you try to take the wine Physically all the zamorak will attack you. This why you USE TELEGRAB to get the wine. ***




This is why you will need 33 magic,staff of air[so you dont need air runes] and law runes. If you have 37 maigc then some water runes.

** Yes, this might seem expensive but you will make more than what you spend. trust me ^^

Once they use telegrab to grab it. Once you have full inventory either run back to Falador, or if you have 37 magic, Teleport to Falador[faster]



Tips:

- Raise your magic level in the Fist of Guthix Minigame.

- use a world with more player , is has faster respawn time. quick the wine comes back
