So you're doing a turduckgoosehen?

Son, you need some help.

Oh, and happy about-your-birthday.

That seems... excessive.

But hells to the yeah, roast turkey rules the roost.  And, as my wife says, Happy Birthday!

Now can you get Josep to the stinking barn/warehouse/garage Tandro is currently stuck in?  I could use his help.

Hmmm, need to figure out how to get you guys together ...

Maybe Charan's brothel was an agreed-upon "if you really need help, go here" place?  Using one of those "bennies" I gave you guys to spend to do a bit of Leverage-like retconning of "OF COURSE we planned for this contingency"?

"Friends with benefits"?  I didn't know this was that kind of game?  ;)

 Turgooducken was last night, and it was great. I was surprised we managed to sew the turkey closed once everything was inside. The bourbon gravy was a win. And I'm going to be eating this for a couple more days.

 Tandro, you could use that scroll of sending the Lady gave you. You remember, for that exact situation which we absolutely anticipated.

Bourbon gravy?  Recipe plz.

 Arlorian, you know the guy in your portrait is Gerard Depardieu?
 I have a really hard time imagining him as Shal ;)

 He used to be thinner though.

 As for the bourbon gravy, I couldn't link you to any recipe as I didn't follow one, but here's the general idea:
 -while your turkey is still cooking: pick up some fat from the drippings, use it to cook shallots until they're a brown purée, reserve.
 -when you take it out of the oven: scrape the caramelized dripping from the bottom of you pan, dilute with bourbon (I use rye), add some turkey broth and let simmer.
 -once the mix is smooth, add the shallots
 -at this point, I stir in turkey broth and flour until I get the consistency right.
 -I also added cream to make it more, well, creamy, but I reckon that was unnecessary...

 I realize there's no quantity indications anywhere there... for a half-litre of  gravy, I used about 5cl bourbon.

Yes, I am aware who the actor is that I used for the current portrait.  And Arlo is currently posing as Talon Redsilks, an old human peddler with a military background.  Arlo's main portrait is mfd445, but has been in disguise while in Torei to this point.
I thought it made more sense to show his current disguise than his real face.  Player's choice I guess.  But I do understand the confusion if you haven't read the entire thread.

 I haven't. That makes a lot of sense actually!
 Few actors are as distant as he is from the image I have of an elf/Shal.

I could. However, I don't know where I am.  Can't tell you to come to me, can't figure out how to get anywhere to meet.

 Fire a flare. It could be a metaphorical flare, mind you. Not that I know what this might be.
 Maybe Captain Planet rings. I'll be Fire, you evidently Love.

It's a disguise, missieur.    And terribly effective, no?   You never would think he was Shal.  ^_~



Oh, yum!!    Can't you just stick some in dropbox, and share it?

Ha!  I didn't even realize it because on my laptop I can't see any of the male character portraits, no matter what brower I use (Chrome, Safari or Firefox).  Y'all look alike to me.



Yes, plz.

In reply to GM (msg # 88):
 Wait, only the male ones? What kind of discrimination is that? I'm going to have a word with the Internet.

 I would fax over the bourbon gravy, sadly I ended up dunking what was left of a baguette in there until it was no more... I regret nothing, even the tummy ache is a vivid reminder of how good it was.

Sorry.  Posted to the wrong thread somehow.  :P

So much travel. Much sleep needed. Goodness.

Happy Thanksgiving/holidays!

Finished for tonight.  Will work my way through the rest of the threads tomorrow, giving priority to those with more than one PC (so as to give as many people as possible something to respond to).

It's been a week and still no love. . .  :'( <sniff>

<sigh>  Dude, I've been getting about 30-45 minutes a day to post.  Tonight, my son held my laptop hostage to type an essay.

What?  What kind of parent promotes literacy and schoolwork?
Ice cream and Fallout4.  True parenting there.

No! I come first! You must stroke my ego!

Wait. What's that? <zap> AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!

Okay, sorry. Geez. Never mind, I'll just sit here in the corner and put my hair back in.

<pout>

;)

In this household, it's Destiny and microwave popcorn.

Something to be said for microwave popcorn.... yummm.
