[theshadowturnedhero]

[And the game we don't have Duke...]

Am I the only one who kind of remembers how to cook?

Re: ❧ instructions

[grewuptootsun]

Yes.

Re: ❧ instructions

[grewuptootsun]

I can start the fire.

Re: ❧ instructions

[dormancy]

We could just eat whatever they give us to cook.

Re: ❧ instructions

[uroboric]

Seriously? We're cooking?

Re: ❧ instructions

It looks like.

[But hey, safe game!]

Re: ❧ instructions

[sticksofthejedi]

I try not to be pessimistic, but I don't think this one is going to end well.

❧ scoring criteria

[dramatispersonae]

1. All team members participating, if not equally, then in some capacity approximating that.
2. Adherence to the requirements in each round. Obviously, taste is a factor.
3. Creativity, originality, and presentation! Do not bore me.
4. Reflection of team spirit or personality.
5. Evidence of new knowledge learned or skills acquired.

[YOU BASTARDS]

Re: ❧ round one

. . .

[1 + 1 =...]

Can we just wrap bacon in cabbage?

Re: ❧ round one

[sticksofthejedi]

Do we even have cabbage?

Re: ❧ round one

[theshadowturnedhero]

[Taking a small taste of what's in all the unmarked containers.]

[...urk. Beef stock. Chokes, but manages to swallow.]

R-right....

Salad. Appetizer would be a good salad. [Holds up the mirin.] This will be a good thing as a sort of sauce, so it's not really dry.

❧ round two

[dramatispersonae]

❧ main course

[dramatispersonae]

The main course should be the feature of your meal: making it filling and with a variety of complementary aspects is important!

Your main ingredient for this is tilapia.

❧ round three

[dramatispersonae]

❧ dessert

[dramatispersonae]

Dessert should be sweet and not too big! . . . or perhaps it should be big, depending on who you're talking to. But the sweet part is very important.

Your main ingredient is pineapple:

Your bonus ingredients for this round (added to your basket) are: 1 stick of butter and 2 cups of brown sugar.
