I am a fan of stir fry, so when I read this recipe I was excited to try it. There is a delicate balance for me between vegetables being raw or soggy. If they don’t a a bit of bite to them, the mushy texture freaks me out. The time and preparation of this recipe landed perfectly for me. The recipe is as follows: on-eighth cup red wine, one-eighth cup teriyaki sauce, one-half medium onion, peeled, one-third bunch fresh broccoli, two tablespoons dried parsley, one-third head fresh cauliflower, three carrots, peeled, one-third cup frozen corn, one-third cup frozen peas, two shakes dried ginger, and large pinches of oregano, sage, paprika, basil and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

I started by halving, then quartering the onion. The sharp knife trick that was suggested in my Gully Dwarf Stew episode worked, so thank you for that! Next I peeled the carrots and sliced them into medium strips, halving them again for size. I feel so awkward cutting food on camera. I seriously need to take a cooking class to hone up on my knife skills. Then I took a third of the broccoli, cut down the stems to one to two inches and cut them ...

It was forged out of friendship, honor and self sacrifice. It stayed in the family for millennia. It is called The Brightblade. Let’s take a closer look at its history.

It’s true history was discovered in the great Library of Khrystann in Tarsis, just before the Red Dragonarmy assault during the War of the Lance. The history is recorded by the renowned scholar and priest of Kiri-Jolith, Sumitpo diFurian. What is known is as follows: The sword itself is thought to be from 2,000 -2,900 years old. Most agree with the more recent estimate. It was forged by a dwarven weaponsmith named Romgar Firesteel as a gift for one man and what that man represented. 

Berthel was a young Solamnic squire of the Crown. He was the son of a simple farmer, traveling north from Heartlund to Vingaard Keep, where he was hoping to be knighted a Knight of the Crown. His sponsor, Sir Di Kanto deemed young Berthel worthy of the honor. Berthel stopped in Jansburg, a small village south of the keep for the night and met a wonderful dwarf named Romgar Firesteel. They shared food and drink into the night. As the sun rose the next day, Berthel prepared for his journey and heard screaming throughout the town. Upon investigation he discovered a tribe of goblins on wolf back terrorizing the villager. Berthel mounted his steed and began his defense of the town. He eventually came upon the leader of the tribe, a hobgoblin, who had wounded Romgar, and was ready to deal the killing blow when Berthel called out a challenge. 

The hobgoblin accepted it and they battled ferociously. Berthel was badly wounded but eventually killed the creature. He crawled over to his friend and began tending to his wounds until he passed out from his own bloodloss. He woke three days later in the inn, with his wounds partially healed. He learned that without a leader, the goblins gave up their assault. His new friend had stayed by him, and joined him in his final stretch to Vingaard Keep where he gave a statement of Berthel’s heroism and selfless actions. The High Justice agreed to knight Berthel in two months' time. Romgar was not finished however. He took it upon himself to show his gratitude to the knight-to-be by forging him a one-of-a-kind weapon, blessed by Kiri-Jolith himself. Romgar sent dispatches to Garnet with orders for gold, silver, steel and a red gem from the Firesteel treasury. The materials arrived a week later, and Romgar spent two weeks in a forge to produce the finest masterpiece he had ever crafted, the Brightblade.

The Brightblade is known as a hand-and-a-half sword. This provides leverage for it’s wielder. It is a bastard sword of exquisite design. The grip and crossguard are placed in pure god. The grip is edged in the golden patterns of the era, inspired by Tiiashara Luerrath, the elven architect.

The Knights are seeking to rebuild the High Clerist’s Tower which fell in the Chaos War, but they have discovered a horrible secret that has been hidden since the Age of Might. The High Clerist’s Tower was built over an ancient Temple of Chemosh. It was meant as a seal, protecting Solamnia from Chemosh’s Bone Acolytes, millenia ago. And it was successful, until the Secundus Cataclius and the destruction of the tower.

About The Doom Brigade

War can get a fellow killed.

The fearless draconians of the War of the Lance have retired from the field of battle to a pleasant valley in the Kharolis Mountains. Well, it would be pleasant, if it weren't for some dwarves, whose irritating feuding prevents the draconians from realizing their greatest hope -- the ability to continue their doomed race.

When the dwarves discover a map leading to a fortune buried in the dwarven kingdom of Thorbardin, the draconians are swept up in a feverish race for treasure. Little do both sides realize that they are part of the strange and terrible destiny descending upon Krynn during the Summer of Flame.

A destiny that includes the children of Chaos . . . the fire dragons!

The Doom Brigade is the first installment in The Chaos War series, stories set during the war of the Dragons of Summer Flame, the New York Times best-selling novel co-authored by Margaret Weis.

Review

Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. It is Misham, Deepkolt the 17th, my name is Adam and today I am going to give you my Spoiler review of The Doom Brigade. I will be spoiling the story, so if you don’t want to know it, stop watching now!

We are introduced to two groups. First is Kang’s Regiment, a Bozak commander of the First Dragonarmy Engineering Brigade. They number around 200. The second is a Neidar dwarf village of Celebundin. We are twenty five years after the War of the Lance, and without females among the Draconian species, they are nearing extinction with every death. This is why Kang decided to only use blunt weapons with the intent of knocking out opponents when raiding Celebundin, and the dwarves followed suit when returning raids to Kang’s village. The two communities go back and forth, the Draconians stealing Dwarven Spirits, sheep and crops, and the dwarves stealing it back.

Among the dwarves are Selquist, a half Daergar-half Neidar dwarf, Auger, Mortar and Pestle. These four do not fit into the Celebundin community as they are thieves, stealing for themselves first in the raid, before the greater community. It is here we see them trying to curry favor with the Thane by gifting his daughter a sheep from the last raid, so he would in turn look the other way when they sold the previous dwarf property back to them for a profit. The warchief, Moorthane, threatened to cast Selquist out of the community for his self-serving actions. Frustrated, but determined, Selquist decides to take his friends to Thorbardin through a secret air vent. 

Back at Kang’s regiment, Solinari and Lunitari are going to be a full, so the draconians plan a raid on the dwarves, who made off with a few sheep and personal effects, including Kang’s holy symbol of Takhisis (Selquist has this), and we get to see a lot of Kang’s personality, reasoning and method of leadership which is really interesting.

Flat Bread

This bread is popular among adventurers and Wilder elves, since it can be prepared fresh in the wilderness by pan frying. The baked version, stuffed with meats and cheeses, is more prevalent in civilized banquet halls.

* 2 ½ cups flour (white. or I cup white and 1½ cups rye or, whole wheat)* 1 package dry yeast* ½ cup warm water mixed with 1 teaspoon sugar* ½ cup warm water mixed with 1 teaspoon salt

Pour warm sugar water in bowl. Sprinkle yeast in gently so it sinks smoothly without lumping. Let mixture stand 10 minutes. Add sale water and 1 cup flour; mix well. Add remaining flour; stir thoroughly.

Turn onto floured board; knead 10 minutes. Divide dough into 6 portions. Roll each portion into a ½ to ¾-inch thick circle; place circles on greased baking sheet at least 1 inch apart.

Bake at 425 degrees until golden brown spots appear on bottom and edges, about 8 to 12 minutes. Bread will remain mostly unbrowned. Serve warm or cool on cookie racks before freezing

for storage (reheat straight from freezer at 400 degrees for 5 minutes). This method will form a pocket bread perfect for stuffing. Before scoring, poke bread with a fork to release air and flatten bread.

Alternate cooking method: In heavy skillet, fry bread in 1 tablespoon hot oil over medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown spots appear. Bread should remain mostly unbrowned. This method will not form a pocket, but it will yield a chewy, moist bread also suitable for freezer storage.

He was created as one half of a whole. Harold Johnson suggested Caramon, the fighter, be the twin to Raistlin, the mage, as if they were destined to be one person, but were split apart. This set up a juxtaposition that would echo in every development decision for the character. All except one. They both inherited the disease of addiction. Raistlin would find it in Magic, and Caramon would find it in dwarven spirits after his twin left him. Caramon's whole purpose was to look after his twin. In his absence, nothing could replace him. Not Tika, his wife, not his family, and not his friends. This is the path of the addict. It takes their recognition of their state, and their will to even attempt a change. The irony is that it takes infinitely more strength for an addict to seek help compared to anyone else. They fight with themselves.

Tracy Hickman wrote that, more than any other character, Caramon is the one that changes the most. He has his ascent into light as his twin descends into darkness. This is not to say that outside of his addiction, Caramon was a pure soul, no he was truly a victim of his desires. It took Goldmoon to counciling Tika and Caramon to make him stop pressuring her to have sex with him. And though this may be an extension of his addictive personality, when he led the Army of Fistandantilus, he turned from his wife Tika, and tried his best to lean into the arms of Crysania. It was her love of Raistlin that prevented him from turning his back on his vows! Caramon is not in control of himself, and what’s more disturbing is that he doesn’t seem to want to be. 

There are moments when his purpose is laser focused, but these are fleeting. When he wanted to travel back in time to murder his twin and was enslaved in the gladiator pits of Istar, he was awoken with purpose and direction. When he saw the future his brother would create, he faced the Abyss and his twin who scorned him to stop it. He was a devoted friend, and when he learned of his sister Kitiara and friend Sturm’s son from Sara Dunstan, he knew he had to try and help. Caramon would eventually master his passions and find as close to a sense of peace as possible with his wife Tika, and in his children, but there was always a hole inside of him, left by the loss of his twin, Raistlin. But let's take a birdseye look at Caramon’s life, because it was truly an interesting one! 

Caramon was a twin son of Gilon and Rosamun Majere. Half sister to Kitiara Uth Matar.

From Tika’s Cookbook

Fizban's Fireball Chili

"I have a really wonderful spell - Fireball. Now. if I can, just remember how it goes” - Filban

Tasslehoff Burrfoot supplied us with this recipe and the story of how it came about. It seems that he and the befuddled old wizard were traveling from Huma's tomb to the Council of Whitestone when they ran out of provisions. After several hungry days of watching Fizban attempt to conjure up something ("Hamsandwichi! Did that work? No, well…”), they came upon a cow grazing in a field of peppers. As the two later explained to the irate farmer, Fizban mistook the cow for the Queen of Darkness and blasted her.

When the mistake was discovered ("Bless my hat. It really was a cow!"), Tas declared it best to eat the evidence. ("Sinful to let it go to waste.") "The Queen can cake any form, you know,” Fizban was heard to cry as the village constable hauled him away.

This is a recipe about which it must be said, "If you can't stand the heat , stay out of the line of fire." Not to be confused with chili made with beans and hamburger, this is a meat entrée for those whose tongue, esophagus, stomach, and intestines are truly prepared for combat.

* I pound beef* 2 tablespoons flour

Marinade:

* 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (tip of tongue)* 2 tablespoons paprika (center of tongue)* jar tabasco sauce (back of tongue)* ½ teaspoon Chinese hot oil (smooches things out)* 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper (explosion!)

Prepare marinade; mix thoroughly. The effect of the marinade, for those brave enough to taste test it, should be a sensation of heat running along the tongue, culminating in an explosion at the back of the throat. If the sensations seem uneven, feel free to balance them.

Trim fat from beef and save. Cube beef into 1-inch squares; marinade in sauce 8 hours to 2 days in refrigerator. The longer the beef is marinated, the more shredded it will become upon cooking.

If you wish the beef to remain cubed, marinate less than 24 hours; overnight is sufficient. After meat has marinated, place it and marinade in pot or dutch oven over low heat for 2 hours. Stir occasionally co keep meat from sticking to bottom.

Rend fat to liquid in frying pan over low heat to use in a roux. If beef is too lean co produce 2 tablespoons of liquid fat, bacon grease or lard may be used instead; mix thoroughly with 2 tablespoons of flour.

After meat has stewed sufficiently, remove I cup of liquid from pot. Add liquid slowly to roux, blending thoroughly with whisk. Pour thickened sauce back in with meat and remaining juices; blend. This method will tend to shred meat more. Transfer to serving bowl.

Alternate sauce preparation: Strain all juices from meat. Slowly add juices to roux, blending thoroughly with whisk. Place meat in serving dish, and pour thickened juices over the cop.

Each helping of meat should be served with a wedge of fresh lime to be squeezed over the meat mixture and a large dollop of sour cream to aide in the recovery of the ton...

Year Day or Mark –Year is not actually seen as a day of the week at all, but rather a day out of sync with time. Many nations will take the opportunity to stop working and share gifts to celebrate the past and renew promises of the future. Dwarves will melt down a spoonful of lead and blindly drizzle it on a plate. Then interpret the plate's prediction of the coming year based on the shape the lead cooled into. 

Dark Day on January third is the anniversary of the Cataclysm. It is a day of reflection for the people of Krynn. Many will don black clothing on this day. The city of Tarsis celebrates by fashioning mock boats on wheels, then races them in their dried up harbors regatta-style! 

Harnkeggerfest is from February ninth to the thirteenth. There is a ceremonial position of the harnkegger, a dwarf who has worked conspicuously hard from Yule to now. They don heavy boots, a garter belt and a red tunic. They are the officiator of sorts and get to tap and sample the first barrel of late summer ale. Aside from drinking, celebrants consume twisted hardbreads called frawlen, after a dwarven female's braids. On the fifth day, the votes are tallied and awards distributed.

Kith-Kanandras on March fourteenth is a celebration of the life and accomplishments of Kith-Kanan, the grandson of Silvanos, who led the western elves to their new homeland of Qualinesti. Disparate races are invited by friends to honor tolerance, and are presented with good conversation, rare elven spirits, and elven delights. It ends at midnight when the hosts reluctantly delay the guests departure till the hour is struck, then ceremoniously thrown out.

Silvanosdras the following day on March fifteenth is observed as the birth date of the heroic elf who united the first elven tribes and led them to their homeland of Silvanesti, four millennia before the Cataclysm. The Silvanesti bath statues in the likeness of Silvanos and decorate their homes with white stars and fast through the day, renewing their vows to democracy on hillsides.

March twenty-first is Spring Dawning. The vernal equinox is celebrated by all. In Solace there is a large festival where they sell crafts. The Knights of Solamnia and Northern Ergoth perform a contest of battle to determine spring's end. 

April fourth is called the Harrowing.
