Tonight, for my usual gaming group, Amy and I cooked the <b>Dinner of Elemental Evil</b>.

Sometime soon I'll describe its preparation in detail, but for now, just enjoy the menu.

enjoy: fetusii: CHECK

As promised, here's the preparation info.

<i>Mangue Sanglante Margaritas</i>
These are just frozen mango margaritas--tequila, mango juice, triple sec, blended together with ice (twice as much tequila as the sum of the mango juice and triple sec)--with some red food coloring thrown in.

<i>Boulettes Chinoises en Placenta</i>
Get some frozen dumplings; we used beef. Boil them in the usual manner, but add some dark juice to dye them. We used chokeberry juice because we had just gotten a bottle at the local International Market. Also prepare a lumpy, bloody-looking syrup--we used chokeberry juice with raspberries and blueberries in it, cooked down with some cornstarch. That's your "placenta." Serve the dumplings and pour the placenta over them.

<i>Fetus-On-A-Stick</i>
Get some shrimp. Peel them, but leave the tails on them. Then boil them. Then pat them dry, and dip them in coconut tempura batter (egg yolk, flour, ice water, a little baking soda, and grated coconut). Deep-fry them for a couple minutes, take them out, and serve them on skewers.

<i>Quesadillas “porc long” fromage noir avec pommes</i>
Cut a pork loin into medallions. Marinate them for a few hours in lime juice, cumin, coriander, and cayenne. Grill them to char them a little. Then prepare your "black cheese" (this is one of the ongoing features of our D&D campaign; any stinky cheese will do. I think we used cambezola (yeah, halfway between camembert and gorgonzola) as the slightly-runny sticky binder cheese, and crumbles of something French, blue, and stinky. If you want you can add food coloring to make it blacker) and peel and slice up a few apples (we used Gala apples; anything but Granny Smith is probably OK). Put the apples, cheese, and pork inside tortillas, and heat them in a pan until the cheese melts and the tortilla is a little charred.

<i>Hankey Cornwallis</i>
Boil some ears of corn. Also, take a pan. Put some good olive oil in it, and fry some annatto seeds so the oil turns reddish-brown. Remove the seeds and drizzle the oil over the corn.

<i>Gâteau Rouge De Diable</i>
Red Devil Cake. We used the recipe in James Beard's <i>American Cookery</i> and his recipe for boiled white frosting, which I dyed a hideous pink with food coloring. Probably any Red Devil Cake recipe would work fine.

<i>Foetus d'homme de lézard en crème de chaux</i>
This is the Not-Key-Lime pie previously posted, with Sour Skittles added to the custard before baking. They do make crunchy, chewy lizardman fetuses, but honestly the pie is better without them.

Bruce, why do you hate America?

Hey! I already reponded to the fetus thing! What the Christ? How did I not notice that?

Maybe you should lay off the crack.
