Join us as we celebrate our shared game and tell a story together.
It has been a long time since I’ve been up for researching and playing with recipes. Or documenting my cooking. Bit of a kitchen-centered block, I suppose. Due to a combination of general life busyness and, more insurmountably, growing moroseness at the state of the world beyond my own culinary safe space. It felt like... Continue Reading →
If you are a lonely, sleep-deprived knight of Kelemvor who has kept steadfast watch for three days, and then had a stirring evening of meeting helpful, mysterious strangers, kindly healing these same strangers’ wounds, and heroically smiting some pesky Undead, you will want to eat stew. If you are a mere mortal who is bundled... Continue Reading →
When my dear friend and endearingly enthusiastic eater, EH, has a birthday, my ability to separate our D&D campaign from mundane reality grows even more pitiably poor than normal. I want to make my friend happy but I also want to please her character. So, most of my decisions are driven by the question: what... Continue Reading →
This is not as much of a mad heresy as it sounds. First of all, pierogi, the delightful Polish stuffed dumplings, are both comforting and, due to the loving labor required to make them at home, celebratory. Secondly, they are very adaptable. They sidle in unobtrusively but deliciously, fitting in easily at almost any feast-table.... Continue Reading →
The Creamiest Cheesecake with Peaches and a Meringue Cloud Topping Serves 8-12, depending on how thickly you slice it. As are so many of us, I am struggling with the events of the past week. Too disheartened to speak on it any more than that, I am going in search of comfort. Old-school, ie, Golden... Continue Reading →
Our party owes much to Eliana Cooper. Not least of which is maintaining the proper priorities in regards to regular meal times. When possible, Elie eats Hin-style. Meaning several more food-stops each day than Elodie - eager, impatient, and driven - and Vaikner - contemplative, curious, and distracted - are accustomed to. Still, they were... Continue Reading →
Charred Grapes and Halloumi Cheese Skewers, marinated and grilled. Serves 6-8 as a side dish. Our adventurers (and adventurous cooks) may still be recovering from the sausage in a bun marathon of last session (and GenCon and GenCon-Covid and house-move-in-progress). And the food options at the Blackstaff’s Tower were a little sparse. Or rather, our... Continue Reading →
The Perfect Hotdog Makes 16-18 hotdogs, depending on how large you make your bread rolls. I am sure that this controversial recipe title will raise eyebrows and blood pressures. So let me hurry to clarify: this is my perfect hotdog 🙂 I dare not speak for anyone else. And especially not for Elie. But I... Continue Reading →
After a turbulent night, any weary adventurer would naturally crave comfort. A hungry Elie sums things up admirably: something “hot and filling” is required. The bottomless pot of fish soup at the Ship’s Prow, prepared by the charming tavern keeper, Jhambrote, seems to fit the bill. And, since this is the family-friendly, recipe section of...

What is the mysterious sparkling powder that Elodie swipes from Uza’s little kitchen (bad Paladin!)? How to recreate Dust of Deliciousness in our sadly enchantment-free world? Without violating laws controlling the more…psychoactive substances? Here are two options to try, legally and with relative safety, at home. The first is all fire, smoke, numbing acid-pepper notes...
