Scandal Rocks the UN
Or rather it might...if we could talk about it.
snoopy enterred the empty hall, built in preparation for a time when nations could air their grievances against each other, and settle raging debates like civilized parties. And asked for a reprieve, a team vote to allow public discussion even without requiring in game contact.
The dust swirled as he apparantly spoke to the walls alone...
3 Teams have answered, and Team Merc sits aside awaiting to see if there is profit to be made. No word has been heard from teams Horde, Gathering Storm, or Sarantium. And it is feared they may have succumbed to barbarians.
With the issue deadlocked, one could wonder how a paper could be published prior to such an agreement.
"The greater conundrum is at this point in the game, does anyone have the technology to READ it?" responded UnOrthOdOx.

A Demogame Yule
Merry Yule we wish the players
of this Civ 4 Demo Game
From the team who seeks
For fortune more than fame
As the days grow darker
The winter, cold sets in
We hope your days are happy
as you compete to win
To Vox, the Voice, we wish
To you a microphone;
That this voice may be heard,
And you not feel alone.
And out there is a team
That calls themselves the Horde.
We wish for them some wassail
Into their glass be poured.
And where the Storm does Gather
The discussion surely intense
We wish for them, this time
A start that's more immense
To Alpha Centauri we pray
For them a laser, perhaps a few;
Just make sure they recall
It's an attack strength of only two.
And for the Team Banana
In that holy yellow peel;
We truly wish that they
Not become someone's meal.
And finally Sarantium
I wish I could get a sense,
But I'm afraid of their name
I just don't catch the reference.
To snoopy and his "sausages"
He does profess to eat
We wish him a nice quiche
For a real and "manly" treat.
And so this Yuletide evening
As I sit down to write;
Merry Christmas to all,
And to all a good night.

Iron CHEF!!!
This weeks theme: Manly dishes.

Snoopy's Modelicious Recipes - cooking for the busy gamer
Quiche:
Base:
1 box of egg beaters/egg whites, or 8 eggs, beaten.
1/2 cup sour cream (4 oz, or 110g)
1/2 cup milk or light cream (4 oz, or 110g)
4 oz cream cheese, or other 'soft' cheese (for texture), diced (110g)
1 cup hard cheese (cheddar, colby jack, etc.), shredded (not sure the grams, probably about 250g)
Fillings: Quantities can vary to your taste, but don't use more than 1 1/2 cups in total.
* Sausage and Apple (diced, both)- makes a great combination.
* Basil, Sun-dried Tomatoes (1/2 cup) diced, garlic
* Lemon oil (1-2 tsp), oregano, thyme, one large or two small tomatoes, diced
* Salmon (poached is best, that's cooked in simmering water or broth), diced, along with some combination of green spices such as oregano, tarragon, etc.
* Spinach, whole leaf or chopped, cooked in water and vinegar first
* Most meats can work, cooked ahead of time, but oily fried meats don't work very well (except sausage, for some reason). Boiled or poached works best.
Combine the 'basic' ingredients except for the hard cheese with a spoon or a mixer, beat them until well combined. Add the filling, mix just until combined. Pour into either an 8x8 square pan (silicon is easiest to clean, or glass, or nonstick metal) or a 9" pie pan. Add the shredded hard cheese on top.
Put into a 325ºF (for you euros that's about 150ºC or so) oven for about 40 minutes, depending on the amount of filling and on the pan used (Some pans cook more warm).
This can also be made in a pie crust if you want, just buy a premade pie crust, if it's raw then bake it according to directions (usually at 400ºF or 210ºC for a short time) before adding the quiche ingredients. But I never use the crust, too much extra work
It takes all of 5 to 10 minutes to prepare, depending on the filling, plus 40 minutes of cooking while you go play Civ (though make sure to set a timer!) ... it's done when it's pretty solid, it will solidify more when it coools. It's not that easy to overcook though, so don't worry about perfection.
