Grocery List

Well, now that the kitchen is out of commission for the moment, I should really get to restocking the larder.
  • Ducks (14 fresh)
  • Carrots
  • Pine Nuts (remember not to serve to Iron John, allergies, you know)
  • Peanut Butter
  • Beer
  • Brandy
  • Gin
  • Brown paper bags
  • Flour
  • Rollos
  • Cheez-Its
  • Bourbon

En Flambe

Fire is the oldest tool in a chef's aresenal. That charred flavor adds a certain something to every meal. Or every bunker. No worries, I'm sure the smell will come out soon.

In the end, as in the beginning, it was Red Shirt's fault. I told him that brandy was not the proper liquor and that he should not have set the campfire in the middle of the pastry station. Now he's covered in unrisen souffle dough and some strange pie filling that melted onto his skin. I won't go into details, but the incident went something along these lines:

Me: Don't do that.

Red Shirt: What? It's just a little brandy.

Me: But you're not supposed to add it to the fire. You're supposed to--

(sound of liquid hitting metal)

Red Shirt: AUGHHHHHHH

(sound of writhing on the floor in pain)

Me: I'll go get Dr. Foxtrot.

So, dinner was delayed another two hours and fourteen perfect ducks were toasted--I can still hear their last quacks in my dreams. Now that repairs are almost completed in the infirmary, we're gonna need the crew over here.

Marketing Poll #1

Please, dear visitors of this blog, be sure to vote in the poll to the right of your screen.

As I am sure you are aware, dear readers, leadership is only as good as the information provided. Iron John wishes to show his benevolence by giving ear to the needs and wants of the people. He feels, as I am certain all of you feel, that the current administrations throughout the entire world are inept bastards that do not deserve to drink the water of any third world country--no matter how parched their lying tongues may be.

So please, take this time to give voice to your opinion: that Iron John is now, and will always be, the right man for the Domination of the World.
