My name is Catherine Barson Eastis, and I run the fandom food blog, The Gluttonous Geek. The Gluttonous Geek seeks to bridge the gap between food and fiction by developing recipes inspired by movies, TV shows, tabletop and video games, podcasts, books, and more.
My mission is to delve into these stories, explore their worlds, get to know these characters, and then manifest my findings into a recipe that you can cook. It’s like an English paper you can eat.
This RU-vid Channel is where I will host the vods from my Twitch show "Munchies & Minis," a live cooking show with original recipes inspired by tabletop role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and Shadowrun.
Have to say, I thought this was going to be another funny little nerd video by someone totally unprepared for the outdoors...and I was almost right :) But I actually found myself enjoying it and want to see more - subscribed!
@@thegluttonousgeek thanks for that. I didn't know. I thought they were just showing Jack as a gender neutral name and that she could do anything a man could. Didn't realize they did a gender change
I'm glad to have found this channel! I love the idea of cooking fantasy food, both in character and in real life, and the recipe was incredibly engaging!
Thank you! Currently writing up one for a Cormyrian-style Pork Shoulder mentioned in Baldur's Gate III. Hint: It's a bit of a different take on a recipe made popular in the States by Julia Child.
Love it :) that video tells the story so well that it doesn't really need words, it was beautifully made! And it looks like you have some lighter weight equipment this time, as for tarps just get a DD 10 X10 in green untill you master period waterproofing and tarp setup, it won't look to terribly out of place and it will be waterproof, however you might have been ok if you had setup with a steeper angle so the water ran down the inside to the floor instead of dripping off the back, like a canvas ridge tent, maybe that's something to try?
The tarp wasn't so bad. I could have made it through the night, especially with a steeper setup. What really failed me was the ground cloth. Once I felt cold water seep through from below, I was done. It and the tarp need better waterproofing, and I really need to build up a debris bed to get me off the ground and out of puddles. The ground cloth was at least helpful shedding water as a poncho on the hike out.
Enjoyed the video. It seems that this was a good learning experience. There's a reason modern hikers/backpackers use modern materials. ;-) Just an FYI on fire making... If using a ferro-rod, charcloth is not necessary. (It doesn't hurt--it just uses up your charcloth faster for no real gain.) If using flint and steel, it is ABSOLUTELY necessary. Also, it looks more 'period appropriate', and goes well with your overall aesthetic.
Yep the charcloth wasn't needed here at all. In my third video, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0U4LZ4p5WAk.html , I do switch to flint and steel. Thanks.
What an adventure! Love it :) [EDIT] Also please do invent the flute saw LOL, but in all seriousness it could be done, and a tin whistle would be a better instrument to model it on
That was really fun and beautiful to watch! I'm 44, and pretty out of shape currently, so I totally feel your pain. :) I take 4-5 mile walks regularly, but that's on sidewalk, and forest hiking with heavy weights is WAY harder. You did good! Also, please, please don't take this the wrong way...from one drinker to another, be really aware of swelling/circulatory issues in your hands/feet. It might have been lighting, but in your 1st vid, your left hand looked really red and swelled in one scene, and it caused me worry. I'm guessing maybe your shoulder straps were cutting off circulation, since your load was heavy. Make sure to stretch, and get your hands above your head if you see that happening. Swelling can cause nerve damage; my dad's been in a wheelchair for years, and it happens a ton to him. Awesome vid, subbed, thank you :)
While I do enjoy my drink, the red hand has nothing to do with it or my fitness. That’s a birthmark. Red left hand, arm, shoulder and chest since I was born. Thank you for your concern, but nothing to worry about.
This morning was damp, cold and rainy. Much like the morning of your adventure. Felt like I had joined you at your camp. Awesome video! I am excited for part 2! No veren, randir!
Thank you so much! I know the feeling -- most of my friends who play are streamers so it's nigh impossible to game in person. Hoping I can change that soon. Still working up the courage to DM for the first time!
this remins me of german baked apples but with an extra step. i think i might combine the two recipes and fill the inside with raisins/sugar/nuts and then put the syrup on the side and on top :)
From the look of it, melted cheese sandwiches, pickles, dried herring, and a stew made from whatever's leftover. I think I might do an Elfsong Tavern version of grilled cheese and tomato soup this upcoming week's live episode. Thanks for the idea, dude!
@@felicitylias9054 I'm a home cook, but I've taken cooking classes that have included knife skills. I like slicing vegetables now because practicing the movements relaxes me.
