OT : Cooking

My favorite lazy boy snack/meal/breakfast is 1/2 liter of lactose free full cream milk (I need the calories, plus full cream just tastes way better), a few handfuls of Planters Mixed Nuts, and a couple handfuls of Ocean Spray Dried Cranberries. All munched while figuring out how to pummel 500 magma children and umbrals with wolves. 700-800 calories, protein, carbs, fats, calcium, vitamins, antioxidants, all the stuff a growing boy needs =)

I think you'd do well if you slathered the magma childern in beef juice.

Actually, all you need is some indy slingers armed with bullion cubes.

I'm disapointed by the lack of cannibals in Dom3.

You've got ghouls, sure. But that's old hat.

Wendigos?

Those cannibalistic cults that LA R'lyeh generates don't really get much for their cannibalistic practices! Of course, for my money, land-based R'lyeh cults should offer blood-sacrifices to the dreaming God.

Also, if you've got a deep-frier, it's all about fried chicken. The stuff is chock-full of calories, but it has a low glycemic index (meaning it doesn't do much to your blood sugar), so as part of a balanced diet, with some light exercise in-between turns, you should be okay.

The point is, you take whole mustard seeds - you can get these at most of those high volume hippy or natural food stores, maybe even organic (which might actually do some good in a food as oily as a mustard seed) and you add them straight to the batter, about 10% of the volume.

Your fried chicken comes out spicy and delicious, without even any need for hot sauce (although I add a little tabasco after frying, even so.)

Ok, so it's come to my attention that this thread was made, perhaps, in protest of the Politics thread. That's fine, I have nothing against the whole "peaceful public demonstration" thing.

However, it's kind of a shame if it can't be a good thread on it's own merits.

Food is as important a thing as religion or music or war, culturally, and-since the other three elements are pretty integral and vital parts of the game-(and if you don't think music is, well I kind of feel sorry for you, sitting there playing all muted in an empty room with nothing good to listen to.) well, why not a serious discussion of food?

It's an important aspect of life that has changed and evolved, and learning about it teaches us something about how people used to live. They didn't do all that hunting and raiding and worshipping for laughs, they did it to help them eat.
