Deliciousness

You know how pork usually dries out when you try to roast it?

The one we made last night didn't.

We'd been looking through our new Roasting cookbook, and then I found a pork shoulder on sale and suggested roasting it with apples. Chuckro cobbled together a recipe from three or four different ones. He brined it, seared it, and then roasted it with the apples. The result was tender and flavorful...and juicy. Really juicy. And the apples fell apart into delicious mush that could be smeared on the pork. This with fresh bread, a salad of pears, red lettuce, pecans and cheese with a vinaigrette, and chocolate toffee wedges with a nice muscat wine...oh, such a delicious dinner.

Due to a mishap involving character sheets being left somewhere not our house, the planned rpg didn't happen. Instead, we pulled random pre-gened character sheets and Chuckro ended up running us through a scenario that he'd planned for his online D&D group. Since we were playing really, really random Mage characters instead, hilariousness ensued. I can't say much more, since people reading this will get run through this scenario later, in more seriousness, but we ended up trying to make an evil sorceror into stew with a crockpot that started life as a cursed sword...

Well, there are a few more details that can be given, I think. A GPS locator made of tree bark that got smoked by a stoner--who then determined they were on Mars. A goth boy in a teleporter-made hole whining about hating his life and getting hit with a dead elf. Utterly humiliated evil villians who got their pants stolen. The usefulness of entropy magick in hacking and blue-screening a golem. The uselessness of the spell Unholy Blight against a group of mages with highly questionable morality. And, of course, the Unholy Flaming GreatCrockpot+2 that was used to make Double-Unholy Zombie Stew.

Mmm... evil sorceror stew sounds almost as tasty as the roasted pork.

Hmmm....Roasted pork and slow cooked evil sorceror. Soooo tasty....

I don't know whether I'm laughing harder at the Flaming GreatCrockpot +2 or the concept of blue-screening a golem. (The golem would be running Windows ME, I presume.) Nice job!

The golem didn't start life running Windows ME. But after two crazy Virtual Adepts got to it, it was.

I am laughing so hard I'm crying.

Crockpot! ROFL.
