Pineapple Sundae's, The Twisted Nether and Nat Pagle.

Listen to my interview on Twisted Nether Blogcast.

Episode 193: The Blogger's Fridge

Where I talk about food, raiding and my loathing of Nat Pagle.

Make yourself my favorite ice cream sundae and enjoy! 

This pineapple/ginger snap sundae will now be known as:

 The Twisted Nether Sundae

You will need:

4-5 Ginger snap cookies (crushed)

2 Pineapple rings (grilled)

I don't have a grill so I browned the pineapple in a pan on the stove. 

You want to heat it long enough for it to start to brown and caramelize, about 3 minutes.

Place crushed cooking in a sundae dish.

Scoop vanilla ice cream on top.

Place warm caramelized pineapple in top.

Garnish with whipped topping and a cherry if desired.

Yum!

Sand Pear Pie ~ World of Warcraft

I've made a wonderful discovery, Night Elf. On the uncorrupted part of the island grows a remarkable fruit called the sand pear. They're found near the bottoms of the trees.

I've been preparing pies from them, but if I'm not careful, the elekk will start to wander over and steal my fruit. I've taken to gathering enough to share with the animals, but my stores are gone and the craving for pie has returned. Would you be willing to help gather the fruit I need for another batch of pies? I promise I'll share! -Aonar at Kessel's Crossing



You will need:

CRUST:
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
2 tablespoons cold water


FILLING:
1/2 c packed brown sugar
4 tbs flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp salt
1 dash ground nutmeg
6 c thinly sliced peeled pears (2 cans pear halves)
1 tbs lemon juice


TOPPING:
2/3 c all-purpose flour
1/3 c packed brown sugar
1/3 c cold butter or margarine


Crust:
In a bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. 
Sprinkle with water; toss until mixture is moist enough to shape into a ball. 
On a floured surface, roll out pastry to fit a 9-in. pie pan. Flute edges. 
I've made pie crust before, here is a link to directions.

Filling:
Combine filling ingredients; spoon into the crust. 

Bake at 400 degrees F for 45 - 60 minutes. 

If you are using canned pears you can skip the baking part of this step.

Topping:
For topping, combine flour and brown sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. 
Sprinkle over filling. 

Bake 45 minutes longer until top is brown. 
Wrap foil around edges if you feel the edges are going to burn.

Yum!

Runn Tum Tuber Surprise

My main toon on Anvilmar has 99% of all the cooking recipes. (I cannot learn the rogue's Thistle Tea because I am a druid)  Searching for Runn Tum Tuber in Dire Maul was an adventure. It dropped off of the little imp you followed around, Pusillin.


When I found this recipe for a tuber, I knew I had to bring it to life.

2 white potatoes sliced longways.


Use butter or olive oil on the bottom of a baking dish. Place sliced tubers flat side down. Brush oil lightly over tops of potatoes.
Season with garlic, onion, sea salt, cayenne pepper and cumin. 
Bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees F. (190 degrees C)


It reminds me of a twice baked potato is taste and appearance. Add a spoonful of sour cream or slice of cheese.

Yum!

Goes well with Stormchops, Broiled Dragon or Crocolisk Au Gratin.

 I used pork chops for this amazing & quite electrifying recipe. 

I only hope you enjoy them as much as we did.  I farmed for this recipe in-game until I chalked it up there with Attumen mount. (It's a myth or near myth-like status.) But I eventually gave enough offerings and the Blizzard Gods (aka. random number generator in the sky) bestowed upon me their glory.

2  pork chops (fresh out of Clefthoof meat)
2 tbs (30 ml) soy sauce
1/2 tsp (3 ml) ginger
1/2 tsp (3 ml) salt
1/2 tsp (3 ml) garlic powder
2 tbs (30 ml) honey

Brush chops with a mixture of all the ingredients above and refrigerate for 30 minutes.  Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F. (176 degrees C)

Uncooked

Cooked

 They smell delicious when cooking. No visual strikes of lightening much to my disappointment. There is always the deviant delight to look forward to.

Yum!


I have heard that if you eat Stormchops in the rain (in game) something special is supposed to happen. I've never tried it but if you do, let me know or make a video & I will post it.
