Food of the World - Easy Spanish Tapas

Hello. C J here. I've been doing some serious food research today. I've been reading recipies for Spanish rice dishes and entrees for about four hours now. I have tried a few things and today I think I hit gold. Here is my recipe for Spanish rice followed by my first ever recipe for a Spanish tapas. Both of these have been altered a bit by me to make them easier and cheaper. I hope the tapas bar in town doesn't mind.

Tomato Rice

Ingredients

Two Cups Rice

One Cup Diced Tomatoes or Salsa

Four Cups Water

Three Tablespoons Oregano

One Half Teaspoon Salt

For the Tomato Rice

Combine all the ingredients in a large soup pot and bring to a boil over medium high heat.

Reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover with a lid and let simmer for 20 minutes.

Serve with any Mexican or Spanish dish or combine with meat for an easy paella.

Spicy Sausage Rounds

Ingredients

Two Sticks Worth Spicy Cured Sausage

One Onion

One Tablespoon Garlic

One Fourth Cup Butter

For the Spicy Sausage Rounds

Quarter and then slice the onion into slivers. Slice the cured sausage into thin rounds.

Heat the butter in a chicken fryer.

Fry the onion and garlic for five minutes.

Add the meat and fry for five minutes.

Serve with rice or other appetizers.

Announcing Legend - Quantum

Hello. C J here. I'm announcing today the official tabletop RPG companion to my upcoming video game line Quantum Dragon. The tabletop RPG companion is named Legend - Quantum. I finally get to write something in the Legend series again. I am very happy about this. The Legend series other than this one is done and will be out once its proofread, which may be a while from now. Reliably this series is the best work I've ever done on anything. I'm planning on writing setting and character sourcebooks for the whole game line as well but for now I'm working on the core book for the video game crossover. There's a free in-development copy in the Downloads page now. Have fun. C J Mcpherson

Minecraft Experiments - Steampunk Part One

Hello. C J here. It's time for more Minecraft. This time we have some steampunk themed buildings. I'm doing these mostly as an experiment and they aren't in the part of the Astral I usually build, Ascala. Ascala needs more planning so I'm doing generic Astral themes instead of a specific nation this time. Remember that lighthouse form earlier? Well we're going in its direction this time. But first a long minecart ride from the underground station. And here we are in Port Stone. You'll notice the style of building is different. That's because it's a different part of the setting were building here. Here on the surface we have a boat waiting for us. We have a long voyage ahead of us. They've implemented some beautiful coral reefs in one of the previous updates. Believe it or not I've been playing Minecraft since before there were horses in it. Minecraft is still good. And here we are, at the new steampunk build site in the middle of an ocean. We h...

My New Favourite Video Game Part Two

Hello. C J here. I’m just going to continue discussing the video games I’m playing for a while. I’m planning out another batch of Minecraft builds while I play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team. It’s kind of weird that these are job activities for me but they are. The Minecraft builds need to be done so I can learn some more things about level design. The Pokemon game is what I’m doing for fun. At least it was. Pokemon make great inspiration for the work I do and the stories I write. I’m now having to make more time for it. Most of the characters in my setting are inspired by the Pokemon games. Our main characters Ivy, Blue, William and Benjamin are all based on some of the Pokemon in the first three generations. Ivy is specifically a fictitious all black Pokemon. Blue is an all blue togepi, William is a persian and Benjamin is a tauros without the horns. I’m going to get back to drawing humanoid versions of the first three generations eventually. These to my knowledge count...
