AGC 55 Part 2 July 21 2007 (Awards Talk II) (35:20)

With Mark Kinney, Chris Heim, Carol, and Mags the Axe. Getting into the ENnie nominations. Chris grouses about not getting nominated. Mark regrets overlooking Qin at GenCon last year. Some other notables. RPG Buffet: Deliria! A little more Deliria commentary. Feedback: A look back at the Wizards/WizKids thing, and a german language gaming podcast is coming! Chris makes an Essen joke. Carol gets a present. Some upcoming reviews.

From the RPG Buffet:
Last month was the RPG Buffet's annual trip to the winery. This month, in honor of Carol's first Deliria game, we held a cookout! The featured entree was Steve's famous Pork Loin with a Maker's Mark Glaze; sides included green beans and pasta salad, and dessert was pound cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.

Maker's Mark Hoisin Pork
1 cup of hickory wood chips
1/3 cup of hoisin sauce
2 Tablespoons seasoned rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons of Maker's Mark
3 Tablespoons of maple syrup
1-½ teaspoons of grated ginger
1-½ teaspoons of lime juice
½ teaspoon of chili paste
½ teaspoon of minced garlic
2(1 pound) pork tenderloins
A teaspoon of salt
½ teaspoon of pepper

Soak 1 cup of hickory wood chips in water for approximately 30 minutes. Set up the grill. "Butterfly" or split the tenderloin at the thickest portion. Salt and pepper the meat. Prepare the rest of the ingredients into a sauce. Add the wood chips to the grill for the smoky flavor. Cook the meat for 5 minutes, basting with the sauce. Cover the grill. Turn and baste for an additional 5 minutes. Continue turning and basting every five minutes until the meat is 155 degrees F, or to the desired doneness. Let the meat sit for 5 minutes. Slice and serve. Enjoy.

AGC 54 June 25 2007 (Star Wars Saga Edition) (57:57)

With Mark Kinney, Chris Heim, Ben Balestra, and Mags The Axe. Mark introduces the show, talks about HyperiCon, and Free RPG Day. Games You May Never Have Heard Of: The Gold Digger Universe Sourcebooks! Chris brings us news of the Magic Pro Tour and Magic Game Day. Ultimate Gamer Test for spots on the Gleemax board. Gaming For Cheap Bastards: It's A Dog's Life! Mark returns to discuss the new Star Wars Saga Edition RPG. RPG Buffet: Elfquest and Wine! The GM Gourmet Podcast. Some feedback talk.


From the RPG Buffet:
Part of the fun of gaming is the chance to hang out with friends, and for this reason the RPG Buffet has an annual road-trip--every June, we all take a day off work and head to an area winery for wine tasting and camaraderie. It's an enjoyable change of pace from our usual pot luck supper, we all enjoy the time off from the office, and it's a great way to get to know members of your group better. And trust us when we tell you: nothing brings a gaming group together like an afternoon spent staggering drunkenly through the pick-your-own-organic-fruit patch, a glass of the local vintage in hand, gathering bushels of strawberries with which to bribe your GM later.

The nice thing about the gaming group road trip is, it's a very flexible concept. No wineries near you? Go catch a ball game, or a movie, or go to an amusement park. Hiking, the beach, caving--you can go anywhere or to any event you and your group feel like. Bring guests along--we've had non-gaming spouses and significant others join us for the winery portion of the day. Scheduling not allowing your group to take a day off and travel? Make reservations at a nice local restaurant and have yourselves a gourmet meal before heading off to game.

If a road-trip isn't practical, you can always have a wine-and-cheese dinner at your game. Here's our recommendations to help you build a menu--you can make your menu as large or small as you like:

- Roquefort goes well with Port
- Gruyere pairs with Sangiovese or Chianti
- Match Cheddar with Shiraz, Cabernet, or Champagne
- Camembert and Brie (especially baked Brie) go well with Cabernet and Champagne
- Camembert also goes very will with Chenin Blanc, and Chevre pairs well with Sauvignon Blanc
- Mozzarella with Zinfandel or a light Chianti
- Cream Cheese and White Zinfandel make a nice pair
- Mix Muenster with Beaujolais
- Colby and Gouda go good with Reisling
- Pair Provolone with Chardonnay.

There really are no firm rules about selecting wines to go with a particular food, including cheese. General guidelines suggest lighter, fruitier wines to accompany mild or young cheeses; fuller-bodied wines with aged cheeses. And, keep in mind that sparkling wines are magnificent with darned near any cheese. You'll find reasonably priced bottles from New York, California, France (Champagne), Spain (Cava) and Italy (Spumante).

A wine and cheese supper needs more than just wine and cheese. You’ll also want to provide lots of flavorful crackers and some crusty, hearty breads (French bread, brushetta, etc.). Add caviar if you're feeling really extravagant--there are some fantastic non-traditional caviars available at a fraction of the cost of the stuff they serve at the Politburo. Fresh, in-season fruit fills out a wine-and-cheese menu very nicely. Considering adding sliced apples (Gala, Golden Delicious, or Fuji), strawberries, grapes, melons, pineapple, peaches, or pears to the menu. Nuts are another popular item for wine-and-cheese suppers--pine nuts, hazelnuts and Brazil nuts--my favorite is to toast walnuts and serve them warm.

Don’t forget dessert: cheesecake and dark chocolate go very well with wine. And finally, some good quality coffee to keep people from getting too sleepy after all that fantastic food.

Serve cheeses at room temperature (trust us on this, the difference in flavor is enormous). Remove them from the refrigerator and arrange on trays or platters 30 to 60 minutes before you plan to serve. Make sure you've got plates, knives, and napkins for your guests, and that you've pre-cut the harder cheeses (Parmigiano Reggiano, that sort of thing) into bite-sized chunks so your gamers don't maul them later.

In May, the RPG Buffet did a Potato Bar for supper.

Potato Bars are easy and nutritious. One member cooks the potatoes, and everyone else contributes toppings. John, our Shadowrun 3rd ed GM, prepared them in his crockpot thusly:

INGREDIENTS:

* 12 potatoes, more or less
* foil for wrapping potatoes

PREPARATION:
Prick potatoes with fork and wrap each potato in foil. Fill dry crockpot with the wrapped potatoes. Cover and cook on LOW 8 to 10 hours, until potatoes are tender. Prick with a fork to check.

You can put just about anything you like on a baked potato. Below are some suggestions for toppings:

* Assorted shredded meat toppings, such as turkey, chicken, or ham
* Chili, shredded barbeque, or other meaty sauce
* Stroganoff or beef tips
* Bacon bits
* Smoked salmon
* Flaked tuna
* Broccoli, cooked
* Assorted shredded cheeses (cheddar, Monterey Jack, etc.)
* Minced garlic
* Sour cream
* Butter
* Salsa or pico de gallo
* Green onions
* Chives
* Mushrooms, sauteed

AGC 44 February 3 2007 (Tribe 8) (1:07:38)

With Mark Kinney, Chris Heim, and Carol. Carol Skypes in with the Zorkian Death Flu. Technical difficulties, yay! Gaming For Cheap Bastards: Ogre Lite! Looking at Fudge or FATE in the future. Tribe 8 world overview. Games You May Never Have Heard Of: Dream Pod 9/Jovian Chronicles! Tribe 8 mechanics. RPG Buffet: All Flesh Must Be Eaten! Chris' big announcement. An aside about The Dresden Files. Pan's Labyrinth.

From Marsha on the RPG Buffet segment:
"Meanwhile, here's the details on the Gamer Ribs with Chimichurri sauce.

Pork ribs are easy to do and very flavorful, so I heartily recommend them for any gaming group looking to have a nice, filling meal. Due to time constraints, I opted to cook the Buffet's pork ribs in my slow-cooker (a.k.s. Crock-Pot [tm]). Slow-cooking is a great option for ribs because the meat is amazingly tender by the end of the cooking time, and of course you can just put them in the slow-cooker on LOW in the morning, and by the time you return home from work eight-to-ten hours later, they're done.

Just rinse the ribs when they come out of the package, salt and pepper them to taste, lay them in the slow-cooker, and turn it on at the LOW setting. Cook for 8-10 hours. If you opt to se your oven instead, slow-roast them for about 75-90 minutes at 375 degrees.

Naturally, pork ribs can be served with your favorite barbeque sauce, or such meat condiments as worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or wine-and-pepper sauce. But for a really great condiment that a lot of people have never tried, I recommend chimichurri.

Chimichurri is an condiment served with grilled meat in Argentinian cuisine (it can also be used as a marinade for grilled meat). There's literally thousands of different recipes for it, but at it's base chimichurri is olive oil and wine-vinegar based, with fresh herbs such as parsley and oregano, and spices such as paprika and red pepper.

According to Wikipedia, the overall compositions, taste and preparation are derived from Genovese pesto. Chimichurri is very easy to make; the batch I made I prepared right before serving the ribs to the gamers.

I'd tried chimichurri at an Argentinian restaurant here in town, and fell in love with it. I hunted high and low to find a recipe that lookws like it would match what I remember tasting. I found two that came awfully close, so I combined the two recipes posted here as follows:

1 cup (packed) fresh Italian parsley
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup (packed) fresh cilantro
2 garlic cloves, peeled
3/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Sea salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

...into the blender and pureed until smooth. It was a little too sharp for my taste as written, so I added maybe another 1/4 cup olive oil and pureed again.

The result was fantastic. Served in a dish so people could add it to their fresh, hot ribs as desired. The sauce was a hit, and we'll probably have another ribs night again soon.

Please note that I did use all fresh ingredients, and I feel very strongly that it gave the sauce that extra "punch". I'm sure you could substitute dried oregano or parsley, or lemon juice from concentrate, but I doubt you'd get the same effect."
