I’ll turn the posts into recipe cards at some point, but this is good enough for now! Samosas! Tamarind Sauce!

It’s been 3 months, time to make another batch of this ultra-simple meal. I might skip the bread and just stick with the main course on Twitch.

This means if you need a couple of bigs to carry you through an armada, you’re likely getting less loot than if you were raiding with 4-5 other ships of similar power. The loot increase from… Continue reading Emadas

I’ll fix the recipe card at some point, and I’m missing some ingredients for this, like red wine, carrot, celery, sprigs of thyme and  rosemary, but we’ll manage.   In an oven-safe pan on med-high heat and enough neutral oil to cover the pan, sear the legs, skin side-down until borwned (approx 8 minutes).
