The Goon who did the Goonrathi fleet manual should really gather all recipes ITT and make a cookbook: "Goonrathi presents: in 80 dishes round the 'verse" (or provide a template that the recipe providers can use and then just add them all into a book)
Of course the dishes need 'versified names.

I'm pretty sure the one he wears is specifically a prop from the Wing Commander movie. If that makes it any better (it doesn't).

Wow what a terrible opinion god drat opinion.

Instead of that bad opinion, have this most excellent sauce, shamelessly ripped off from Serious Eats, because it's holy gently caress amazingly delicious and works on everything. Chicken, french fries, bread, who the gently caress cares it's great.

3 whole jalape�o chilies, roughly chopped (If you leave in the seeds it's hotter, if you're a wimpy and hate flavor remove the seeds and ribs)
1 tablespoon aji amarillo pepper paste (Or just more peppers, like a Serrano maybe)
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 medium cloves garlic
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons fresh juice from 1 lime
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Dump everything but the olive oil in your blender.
Turn it on, and after you scrape stuff down the sides a few times so its starting to get smooth, drizzle the olive oil in slowly.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

I like to up the vinegar and lime juice a little bit, but I fuckin love acidity/tart flavors.
e:

Regular mayo does have olive oil in it though, I don't get it? It's egg yolk, olive oil, and a few seasonings (lemon juice, some mustard).

e2: OK I guess you could make it with vegetable or canola oil too.

Seconding this, this green sauce is loving amazing and goes with nearly anything. I'm yet to find aji amarillo but even without this the sauce is off the chain. The Peruvian chicken from the same recipe card is also the best chicken I've ever made.

Meet Star Citizen's big-spending evangelists - inside CitizenCon 2015

quote:

One of those upraised arms belongs, I�m sure, to Dawn. An artist and disciple of Chris Roberts since Wing Commander II, she and her partner have together spent over $4,000 on Star Citizen: �So I�d say we're definitely backers�.

�I didn't look back, especially with Chris Roberts as the helm,� she�d told me earlier in the queue that snaked around the outside of Manchester Airport�s Runway Visitor Park. �We�ve really, really taken to heart what Chris does as a person. I think he�s invested into a very big idea, and I think that idea is coming to fruition. I love to see someone from the start get their dream off the ground and become so famous. It�s such a success.�

quote:

Jerome is more than happy to join Star Citizen�s unofficial street team. After all, he says, the $92 million raised to date isn�t enough. He thinks that Cloud Imperium are reliant on their backers to bring new supporters into the fold so that the game can be finished.

�Star Citizen will need more money for the final release, this is obvious,� he expands. �With the scope they�ve set for themselves, what they can and want to achieve, I think it�s worth it to tell people, �Come on, if you�re interested in space games go ahead, even if you could make a small donation�.�

quote:

�For me it�s the start of a new PC golden age again,� explains one INN member of his motivations. �We need a proper PC game and this is going to be it. It�s the game where we�re finally going to be able to see an entire universe through our eyes, look out into space and go, �See that big ship? I want to go in it�. And can.�

quote:

The sentiment is echoed all around CitizenCon, where delays are seen as less annoyance, more confirmation that Roberts is committed to an uncompromised vision.

�I want a game that's actually like the original promise,� says Michael. �I�m not annoyed or sad if Star Citizen is delayed in the future because I know if it's coming out it's going to be a great game.�

quote:

And not all are evangelists. Clothed in a custom admiral�s outfit, coat-maker Jimbo speaks with genuine fondness of some of the expensive ships he�s invested in. Yet he�s not here to network or campaign. He�s here because he�s looking forward to Wing Commander-ish space game that�s �hopefully not a cash grab�.

�I�m just playing the updates,� he says. �It�s one of those things where I think I�ve played my part. I know it�s coming and I�m just gonna sort of sit back and do whatever until it arrives.�

It's such a success! See you in the 'verse... y'know, if it's coming out.

Io_: Oct 15, 2012; woo woo; Pillbug

Toad In The Hole + Onion Gravy

100g plain flour
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
300ml milk
2 to 3 tablespoons sunflower oil
6 pork sausages

Sieve the flour and salt into a mixing bowl and make a batter by stirring in the eggs, and making a smooth paste with a little of the milk. Next, beat in the rest of the milk until the mixture resembles unwhipped double cream. At this point leave it to stand for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1 hour.

Work the flour through a sieve into a mixing bowl then add the eggs + enough milk to make a smooth paste. Then add the rest of the milk until it thickens. Then leave to stand for half an hour or so.

Heat the oven to ~220 C. While the oven heats take a largish roasting tin / glass dish then grease the bottom with either lard or oil. Then heat the tin in the oven until the lard / oil starts to smoke a little.

When the tin is heated cut the sausages in half and arrange in the bottom. Bake the sausages in the oven for about five minutes then add the batter and cook for another 15-20 minutes. Check if it's cooked and if not leave it a bit longer, you can tell it's ready because the batter should be crisp/golden and will have risen.

For the onion gravy you'll need:

1 knob butter (20 g or so)
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon plain flour
2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
400ml hot chicken stock (usually I just use an oxo cube)

Melt the butter in a shallow pan then add the onion + garlic and simmer until it goes golden/soft, stir regularly otherwise it'll burn. If it starts to go a bit thick/dry then add some water.

Once its golden put a lid on the pan and cook for another 10 minutes on a low heat. The onions should be a brown color but not burnt, if they're burnt you done hosed up.

Stir in the flour and cook for another couple minutes then add the stock. It should take another 15 minutes or so to reduce down, when it starts to go thick/sticky it's ready.

You can also add red wine or balsamic if you want. If you add some wine the do it before you add the stock and increase the cooking time by another 5 minutes or so to cook off the alcohol.

Should look something like this
