[Sca-cooks] Another geeky food quote

[Pixel, Goddess and Queen]

Precisely. I believe the next comment was something along the lines of
"chicken.tar.z".

This is the same man who carried a golf club in his trunk for years,
and he wouldn't let me throw it out, because it was the *Anti-Presidential
Wand of Surrealism.

OB food content:

Once upon a time, he called me at work on a Saturday because he had a
craving for peanut butter cookies, and the recipe had furrin words in it
like "sift". So I explained what that meant, and the difference between a
cup of flour, sifted, and a cup of sifted flour, and he thanked me and
rang off. Not even five minutes later, more like, oh, two, the phone rang
again. It was him, asking where I kept the sifter.

Another time, after I'd taught him how to do essential brownie-making
tasks like melting chocolate, etc., I was starting a batch of brownies
when suddenly the rest of dinner claimed all my attention all at once. I
called him into the kitchen to help, and asked if he could continue the
chocolate-melting. When that was done, he asked what to do next. I pointed
at the cookbook and said "Just follow along there, right under where it
says Fudge Brownies." When they came out of the oven, he looked at them in
shock--"Those are brownies!" "Well, yes. What did you think you were
making?" He still argues that I could have been using the recipe as a
springboard for something else.

*shakes head*

*Anti-President--he always sat opposite the President at the Cornell SF
club meetings, so he assumed the title and office, the sole responsibility
of which was to sit opposite the President.

It is this man who is in charge of the largest single Barony in the Middle
Kingdom, and possibly the Known World.
