Might Man Burgers

This recipe comes from CaribbeanGamer from over at the Fantasy Grounds boards. Thank you CaribbeanGamer!

You might think that, with all the contracts that I take, that I am always eating out. While that might be true with some average mercs, I am one of the best. To be the best, you have to start right! There are no pansy ingredients in these burgers, only the essentials. You won’t catch me putting fairy onions or pussy mushrooms in my burgers. Give me MEAT, and forget the bun! Now, that’s a burger!   ~ LTC John McLeman

  • half a package of bacon (roughly 5 sticks)
  • 2lbs lean ground beef
  • tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • tablespoon black pepper
  • tablespoon white pepper

Cook-Pot Meatballs

This recipe comes from Oberoten from over at the Fantasy Grounds boards. Thank you Oberoten!

Grimwick pulled out a small jar of a yellow, reeking paste. He flashed a smile with his three teeth as he gleefully opened the contents into the bubbling cookpot. What once was rancid meat took on an inviting aroma.

Aye, Pic’d it up ina ‘lithid lair! I uses it te co’er up th’ rank o’ th’ meat ‘ere! A bot’l'is hides’er up nice ‘n priddy. No needs te tell ‘em w’ere th’ meat comin’ fro’. Careful tho’, sum peple’s no’ likin’ de taste!

The recipe below contains hyperlinks that go nowhere. What they do is provide a mouse-over for suggestions of what you could do if you do not have access to the ingredients listed, or have no idea what Grimwick is saying.

Working on a New Theme

Hello all. Just a quick note to let you all know that I am working on a template from the back end. While this site looks like it is the default install, it is that way on purpose, thanks to a lovely plugin. Theme Tester is a god-send.

Thank you for your continued patience. Right now I am looking to the content, and we will work around the look of the site.

Cheers!

What is a Chef and a Gamer to Do?

This is the first ever inaugural post for The Gamer’s Cookbook. What are we anyway? For eons, gamers have survived just fine on Slurpees, Doritos and other offerings. While easy to purchase, and not necessarily great for you, they do detract a little from the suspension of disbelief.

It is very hard to imagine that you are swinging your broadsword in bone-crushing arcs while dusting off Pringle crumbs from your leather jerkin. Perhaps your incantation for the fireball of doom is interrupted by the crinkle of the rogue’s Mars bar wrapper as he struggles to open it.

Perhaps you also have the spoils from your victorious battles! What to do with the Cockatrice’s wings? Immerse yourself in the game with these easy to prepare instructions using ingredients from your adventures. (If you must, a trip to the grocery store will do you as well.) The fare will not necessarily be better for you health-wise, BUT it will taste better!
