Старая добрая, много раз пройденная Baldur's Gate 2 (с аддоном The Darkest Day) - до сих пор наша неторопливая семейная сказка на ночь... Но да речь не об этом.
Кто играл, тот помнит лечебницу для психбольных магов, которую ГГ приходится по ходу сюжета посетить. Там есть небольшая пасхалка: маг по-имени Dradeel, дающий кулинарные рецепты, если поговорить с ним дважды. Один рецепт за раз, так что, чтобы добыть все 4, надо сохраниться перед разговором.
В общем, рецепты лежат и мысль у нас закралась: приготовить уже из них что-нибудь (я больше склоняюсь пока к Печенькам Стойкости

). Если из этой затеи что-нибудь выйдет, поделюсь впечатлениями.
Рецепты - под катом

"Monkey Balls"
These sweet and gracious monkey balls,
Served on plates and sold from stalls,
Bring madness to these hallowed halls
Of urban academe.
Huzzaks for chocolate monkey balls!
We'll eat them 'til the ceiling falls,
'Til Time, herself, tears down these walls
Of urban academe.
So buy yourself a monkey ball,
Savour it and then stand tall,
A bulwark 'gainst the deaf'ning call
Of urban academe.
-by Ergo the organ-grinder

Dradeel's Recipe:
A cookie to reinforce the fortitude, from the kitchen of a particularly shaggy friend:
Ruby Racks:
1 Cup of Dry Oatmeal
2 Cups of Flour
1/4 Pound of Butter
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup of Cocoa
1/2 Cup of Sugar
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
1 Teaspoon Walnut Extract
While oven preheats to 350, combine all ingredients in a large bowl, adding a small amount of milk if the mixture is too dry to properly blend. Add extra sugar if the batter is not to your liking at this point. Roll into balls and press on a greased pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your portions and your personal preference for consistency.
