episode 175: salbread 🍞🍋💖

[oldschoolfrp]

Dragons and draconians attack the High Clerist’s Tower, fortress of the Knights of Solamnia (George Barr, AD&D supplement Dragonlance Adventures, TSR, 1987)

[sharry-arry-odd]

The knight had often tried to resolve within himself why he accepted Tanis's leadership. He was nothing more than a bastard half-elf, after all. He did not come of noble blood. He wore no armor, carried no shield with a proud emblem. Yet Sturm followed him, and loved him and respected him as he respected no other living man. Life was a dark shroud to the Solamnic Knight. He could not pretend to ever know or understand it except through the code of knights he lived by. /"Est Sularus oth Mithas"/– "My honor is life." The code defined honor and was more complete and detailed and strict than any known on Krynn. The code had held true for seven hundred years, but Sturm's secret fear was that, someday, in the final battle, the code would have no answers. He knew that if that day came, Tanis would be at his side, holding the crumbling world together. For while Sturm followed the code, Tanis lived it.

Ingredients: Small ice cubes for shaking, 4 Ounces off-dry (almost dry), traditional-style mead (such as Oliver Winery and Vineyards Camelot Mead), 2 Ounces fresh orange juice, 1 1/2 Ounces gin (such as Londan dry), 1 Ounce honey syrup, 1/2 Ounce fresh lemon juice, 2 Orange twists

Irlymeyer's Dragonfire Punch

Makes 2 1/2 quarts

Ingredients: 3 Cups cranberry juice cocktail, 1/3 Cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed, 1/2 Cup frozen pineapple juice concentrate, thawed, 3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 Cup brandy, 1 Cup large ice cubes, 1 750 Ml bottle Prosecco or other sparkling wine, cold, 1 Large orange, scrubbed and thinly sliced

In a large bowl or pitcher, combine the cranberry juice cocktail, orange juice concentrate, pineapple juice concentrate, lemon juice, and brandy and stir to blend. (This mix can be made 1 day ahead covered and refrigerated).

When ready to serve, add the ice to the mix and stir to chill and blend. Add the Prosecco and stir gently. Fill each glass with ice, pour in the punch, and garnish with an orange slice.

Note: A small block of ice will melt more slowly than the cup of ice cubes. To make such a block, fill a 1-quart plastic container (such as a dell container) with water and freeze it overnight. To loosen the block of ice from the container, hold it briefly under hot running water.
