Join us as we celebrate our shared game and tell a story together.
Well, things are, in a flagrantly ridiculous understatement, not better. Taking joy in baking and blogging is not meaningful resistance. But, fortunately, intricate decorating skills are not required to at least get a punchy topping added to your bake. "Fuck Ice": short, sweet, and simple to accomplish in frosting. I am writing this in grim... 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 →
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 →
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...

AKA: My macarons have feet! I made macarons! With feet! It was great fun to imagine a meal of small plates that our characters would enjoy in this particularly unforgettable locale: partway up a Walking Statue! All dressed up for their first visit to the Lightsinger Theater. Here are a few dainties worthy of being... Continue Reading →
Just as time, care, and stamina are required to consume the feast served at Renaer’s home by Gerta Salibuck, a sustained effort is needed to prepare it. Grumpy to be denied my preferred, soothingly-long stretches of kitchentime lately (real life and responsibilities insist on intruding!), I adapt. And divide the feast into more manageable chunks....

Other heroic companies reap the rewards of their noble actions in coin, jewels, perhaps rare and mystical artifacts… The Fromage Formation tracks its successes and popularity by how deliciously people feed us. The meal prepared by Gerta Salibuck, when Renaer Neverember welcomes Elodie, Eliana, and Vaikner into his home to thank us for our help,... Continue Reading →
