So, you think you can race me through the canyons of Kile II, monkey boy? Hah? :D Think you can lick my stats, or are you just TIE fodder?

 

Okay, rogues...time for a contest. Let's do a little time attack on the Imperial enclave. The mission is simple: complete the objective for Kile II in the shortest time you can, then post your time here. The best time within 48 hours of this posting will earn the coveted 'Imladil's Padawan' title as well as my recipe for thirty-dollar steak. ;)

 

No cheating. :rolleyes: That's where the rogues' honor comes in.

 

I'll be using my :awing: , and I suggest you do the same...

 

RACE!!!

What does 3 plus 2 plus 0 equal?

 

Dust, boyos...dust.

 

*(Has a casual beer in his cockpit as he leaves behind the smoking ruins of the Kile II sensor array, before even the initial alert transmissions can reach any TIEs that might be in position to intercept him before he breaks hyperpoint.)*

 

Looks like I get the thirty-dollar steak all to myself...

Time's up! :D Race is over...

 

Blue Leader is officially my padawan. ;) The padawan's responsibilities include making coffee, doing the dishes, straightening up the living room and, on occasion, yardwork.

The steak recipe? Here ya go:

 

STEAK CORUSCANT

 

First, buy a tenderloin and trim the steaks yourself. When cutting, cut against the grain of the meat, into filets about four inches thick. Any thicker, and your steak will be burned on the outside long before it cooks in the middle--which would be okay for some.

 

Next, lay the steaks in a shallow pan and sprinkle them with freshly ground black pepper. If you don't have a pepper grinder, it's worth the effort of buying whole black peppercorns and cracking them between two plates; table pepper is the dead last option. Let sit a half an hour.

 

Start up the grill. :D This is an outside recipe.

 

Make a marinade of worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar (not much), fresh garlic and a pinch of instant coffee.* Drizzle just enough over your steaks to dampen them, but not cover, and let sit another half hour.

 

Broil the steaks. :rolleyes: Don't burn them, though! When I barbecue outside, I throw in a couple sticks of real wood just as I put on the meat, then slam the cover on them and smoke 'em...but this isn't necessary.

 

To top the steaks, slice up some mushrooms, then throw them in a hot pan with olive oil and more garlic, maybe whatever fresh herbs you have onhand, and a pinch of sugar.* When the mushrooms are cooked just enough that they aren't stiff, throw in a shot of cognac and STAND BACK--the alcohol will burn off, but pretty flames are the result. To finish, throw in a pat of whole butter, and let it melt in; you should have a creamy mushroom sauce.

 

Go get the steaks, which are probably burned if you got into the cognac yourself beforehand, and serve the mushrooms on top. :D What could be easier? Bon appetit!

 

*Trust me.
