This is highly subjective, but here's what I'm listening to right now. Your mileage may vary.

Just a question. Can you grill rice?

---

I'm not sure why you would ask that. Rice typically needs to be boiled first.

In any case, here's another recipe from my D&D group's cookbook. I do enjoy this one very much:

------------------------------

MOXLEY'S SHEPHERD'S PIE

2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
8 tbsp butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1-2 cups mixed vegetables (diced carrots, corn, peas)
1 ½ lbs ground lamb (or beef)
½ cup beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

1) Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in medium sized pot. Cover with at least an inch of cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender (about 20 minutes).

2) While the potatoes are cooking, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large sauté pan on medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until tender, about 6 to 10 minutes. If you are including vegetables, add them according to their cooking time. Carrots should be cooked with the onions, because they take as long to cook as the onions do. If you are including peas or corn, add them toward the end of the cooking of the onions, or after the meat starts to cook, as they take very little cooking time.

3) Add ground meat to the pan with the onions and vegetables. Cook until no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper. Add the worcestershire sauce and beef broth. Bring the broth to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, adding more beef broth if necessary to keep the meat from drying out.

4) When the potatoes are done cooking (a fork can easily pierce), remove them from the pot and place them in a bowl with the remaining 4 Tbsp of butter. Mash with a fork or potato masher, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

5) Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread the meat, onions, and vegetables (if using) in an even layer in a large baking dish (8x13 casserole). Spread the mashed potatoes over the top of the ground beef. Rough up the surface of the mashed potatoes with a fork so there are peaks that will get well browned. You can even use a fork to make creative designs in the mashed potatoes.

6) Place in a 400°F oven and cook until browned and bubbling, about 30 minutes. If necessary, broil for the last few minutes to help the surface of the mashed potatoes brown.

I still want to see some of your groups D&D recipes, Jen.

Think you're gonna hand out Christmas candy for Halloween this year?

Those little punks are gonna like what candy they get...

U gonna trunk-or-treat?

I have no idea what that is. It sounds shady...

Everybody trick-or-treats in one place. Will you partake?

---

Even if I was still of the proper age, it still sounds kinda boring. I'll pass.

Vastly. Disappointed.

1. Why aren't you a classic knight?

Because I have not (yet) earned the proper accolade in a country that confers knighthood.

2. How's that mutton?

---

Well cooked and flavorful. You can really taste the paprika.

Can you really not drink until you're 84 if you're born on February 29?

Doubtful, but I hope whoever has is straight edge anyway.

Just saying, sometimes you gotta live the gimmick. Saying the Good Burger guy doesn't need to post Good Burger music is like saying the guy with the knights all over his layout doesn't need to post stupidly epic prog-rock songs about paladins.

Speaking of which...

Freedom Call - Paladin

It's a stupidly epic prog-rock song about paladins.

Gonna try Final Fantasy Legend of Balance?

It's an rpgmaker game but it's really fun.

---

I doubt it. I have never, ever played a good RPGmaker game.

Where do you go that would necessitate the need for such a sign?

Posted by Danika

---

Ever tried making your own game in RPG Maker, Game Factory, Game Maker, or similar?

---

As a matter of fact, I have. You'll never play it, because it was a very dumb, simple experiment that I never finished. Plus, I'm a bit of a perfectionist about this sort of thing, so I would probably end up working on it for 2 1/2 years before I would be happy with it.

Is it good that we don't play?

No. Play is good for the mind, body, and soul.

Never stop playing.
