Wintreans Share Food That They Made, Again!

Buttered Noodles, by Emoticonius

I've had some noodles sitting in the back of my cabinet in the kitchen for like a year or two and finally did something with it because my brother doesn't like pasta that is without meat. So I made some buttered noodles since it's easy to make and filling. There's a lot of recipes but I just used what I had laying around. So I salted the water, brought it to a boil and cooked the noodles, strained it, put it back in the pan, added butter, sour cream, parsley, parmesan cheese and basil. From there I melted the butter and sour cream. Then I mixed it up until the sauce covered all the noodles. It's very good!

Hobbit's Feast, by Gerrick

So yesterday for my birthday, my wife and I watched the Maple Films fan edit of The Hobbit as well as the Lord of the Rings trilogy. To accompany the movie marathon, we picked some recipes from a Lord of the Rings-themed cookbook and made a Hobbit's feast! My favorite was the mushrooms on toast – it was fucking delicious. We were so full by the end – need to pace ourselves better next year and eat smaller portions at the start.

First Breakfast

Gravy-poached eggs and coffee

Second Breakfast

Blueberry scones, strawberries, custard cream, and tea

Elevensies

Mushrooms on toast, watercress soup, and apple cider

Luncheon

Field pastries (stew beef/bacon and apples/raisins/honey), ploughman's platter, and beer

Tea

Finger sandwiches (cucumber/cheese and lemon curd/blueberries) and tea

Dinner

Roast chicken, roast taters, and apple cider

Supper

Mushrooms and bacon and apple tart

Sorting Out the Storting
@Katie does this look okay to you?

Indeed! This is great!

@North would you mind if I interviewed you on the current state of RP in Wintreath, and @Laurentus could I possibly interview on Wintreath Bleeds as well? (I might want to see what your planned synopses cover first to see if a separate interview is worth doing though.)

And @Katie have you had any ideas on what you could possibly write for Citizens' Corner?

Sure, Tau.

I'm still a little confused as to exactly what you want from the Citizen's Corner. At the moment I have no ideas.

In the past, most people have talked about their impressions of Wintreath...what they liked about the region, in one case what they didn't like about the region, and what about the region made them want to be here and be Citizens. I don't think there's any technical limit to what you could talk about, that's just what people have done in the past.

Well, the first thing that comes to mind there is that I would go find a random citizen and ask why they like it in Wintreath. It might be short, but it'll be telling. I'll formulate some questions

What about your opinions?

Well, I mean... I know I am technically a citizen, but if I said in my university student government "I want to interview a student to see what they think about Student Government", I would not then go and interview someone who's intimately involved in Student Government, such as a fellow senator. Sure, they're technically a student, but they aren't the ideal subject.

I'm looking more for a citizen of Wintreath that's casually involved, maybe just on the RMB.

But would someone that's casually involved know what it's like to be part of the community?

You're a newish Citizen who became part of the community, joined the government, and has made a positive impact in the region...your impressions might be interesting to people outside the region, especially since you've been in some of those regions that we post to. If you want to interview someone else, nobody is going to stop you, but I'm just saying don't sell you or your impressions short.

@Wintermoot Where can I find a high quality version of the Wintreath Logo? Thanks!

Does this mean we'll be saving the citizen's corner until next time?
