Another very late episode, this one for Scorpios. Sorry, Scorpios, if I even know any. But that's what you get for having a far more interesting sun sign than I do. You get to be all mysterious and intriguing (if possibly slightly pervy), while I get to be...boring. 

Anyway, this chapter, unsurprisingly, was full of all kinds of interesting recipes, actually only one dud in the bunch (because asparagus), but the recipe I went with was chosen on account of budget/time/calorie/seasonal availability restraints. Omarr and Roy were, I believe, in California and also weren't necessarily trying to correlate the recipes to the time of year, since this chapter tended to run a bit heavily towards fresh oysters, fresh marigold leaves, and other stuff that is kind of hard to come by in a landlocked midwestern state in late autumn. So I went with an apple crisp, which you'd think would be kind of hard to mess up. You'd be wrong. Either due to the recipe's being poorly written or to my own messing up (most likely, a bit of both), it came out weird. Not sure if it will suffice as breakfast (this is the meal to which I relegate my C-list recipes) or will wind up as rat food -- but, as a testimonial to rodent ownership, Dumbo rats do make for a pretty cure little garbage disposal unit.
