Heh, mentioned wwwaaayyy back on the first page - Gunnerkrigg Court is indeed an excellent strip.
I kind of wish that Laser Cow Guy would show up again - he seemed to take things in stride.

Some of the best (worst?) situations in Complex Actions come about in actual conversation between the cartoonist and the script writer. This just soo wrong..... The Auld Grump |

Escargot is not bad, doesn't really taste like anything, the texture can be difficult to get passed though. Sea Urchin sushi is brutal. As is the big cod liver egg sushi (can't remember which one it is, large and red). Any brain, liver or hock/feet - I'm not getting in on those. Tongue is alright, just looks nasty (similar to gizzard). I prefer turnip raw. |

Hmmm, that's funny... now I want to make steak & kidney pie for Christmas.  1 tablespoon beefdrippings or 1 tablespoon cooking oil 1 1/2 lbs chuck steaks , cut into 1 inch dice 1/2 lb ox kidney (or lamb's, trimmed and diced) 12 ounces puff pastry 2 onions , chopped 3 carrots , peeled and cut into rough dice (5/8 inch) butter 4 large flat mushrooms , cut into thick slices 2 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon tomato puree 1 bay leaf 1 pint veal stock (or water and stock cube or granules) or 1 pint beef stock (or water and stock cube or granules) Worcestershire sauce salt and pepper 1 egg , beaten, for glazing Directions: 1 - Heat a large frying pan with a little of the dripping or oil. Season the diced beef with salt and pepper. Fry in the pan until well coloured and completely sealed. Life out the meat and transfer to a large saucepan. Add a touch more oil, if necessary, to the frying pan. Season the kidneys and also fry quickly to seal and colour in the hot pan. Also transfer to the saucepan. 2 - Melt a knob of butter in the pan and cook the onions and carrots in the melted butter for 2 - 3 minutes. They will lift any flavours left from the meats. Put into the saucepan with the meat. Fry the mushroom slices in a little more butter, just turning in the pan for a minute or two; keep to one side. 3 - Place the saucepan on medium heat, stirring in the flour, and allow it to cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato puree, bay leaf and mushrooms. Pour in the stock and bring to a simmer, skimming off any impurities. The meat should just be covered with the stock; if not, top with a little more stock or water. Simmer gently, partially covered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. During the cooking time it may need to be skimmed several times. 4 - After 1 1/2 hours, check the meat for tenderness. If not quite soft enough, cook for the additional 30 minutes. If the meat is cooking gently, it will not need to be topped up with any additional stock or water. The sauce will have reduced, thickening it's consistency and increasing it's flavour. 5 - Taste for seasoning, adding a dash or two of Worcestershire Sauce to the mixture. Transfer to a 2 pint pie dish and allow to cool to lukewarm. 6 - Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F. 7 - Roll the pastry 1/4-inch thick. Cut a strip of pastry to sit around the rim of the dish. This will help the top to stay on. Brush the rim of the pie dish with some beaten egg and apply the strip. Brush again with egg. Making sure the pastry top is bigger than the dish, sit it on top. Push down around the sides, trim and crimp for a neat finish. Brush completely with egg wash and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown. The Auld Grump |

| I don't eat fermented anything, not even alcohol. And only pickles occasionally. No pickled anything else. Nor any organ meat. At least nothing intact. I'd bet there is some in sausage or hot dogs. Not that I eat those more than occasionally anyway. I doubt there is anything I eat that would gross out anyone. |

| Post subject: | Order of the Stick |
In case some of you have never heard of it, there's a fantasy gaming web comic called "Order of the Stick" that's been published online for several years now. It's done by Rich Burlew. Rich was one of the 3 finalists in WotC's contest in 2003 (or so) for finding a new gaming world for D&D. The winner of that was Keith Baker with his world Eberron. Order of the Stick follows a D&D adventuring party through an epic campaign layered with TONS of humor and great characters. The very first issue poked fun at the changes to D&D implemented with 3.5. It's well worth reading. Here's a link to the first issue: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html Rich has published several books of additional material about the PCs and NPCs in this comic over the years. Because he's run out of copies for most of them, he started a project on Kickstarter to fund reprinting some of them. Helping to fund it nets you various different prizes like copies of these books, digital comics that will never be published, and even for one person their own character in the comic. (it's already taken, though) At present, this Kickstarter project is the 6th most funded project in Kickstarter history. (and it's over 1000% of its original goal) It would be 4th, but there are 2 other projects still going on that have surpassed it. As the funding hits new levels, Rich keeps adding in extra freebies for each supporter. The project ends Feb 21st.I highly recommend taking a look at the project and helping to fund it further, if you can: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/599 ... rint-drive Moved to Fantasy Webcomic thread - mod |
