Which is all well and good when you're playing Cantr, but we are talking about using the ingredients in real life, now.


Maybe you didn't read my second sentence. :wink:


I did, my post was more in reply to computaertist, really.

Feel free to quote me if you're responding to me. Cuts down on confusion.

Give me fresh, organic wheat and apples (of high quality, mind- I'll need the apples to be sweet and juicy, and preferably flavorful but that's less critical; in Cantr all raws are the same quality unless you choose to role-play finding something superior/inferior), a millstone, a stone oven, and some wood good for cooking with (not all Earthly wood is equal in this), and I'll turn them into a pie that will surprise you. You might miss Earth's cinnamon, of course, but then cinnamon, if I understand right, comes from a kind of bark so might be found in wood, in which case make sure some of the wood you give me is cinnamon and then - oh dear, now my stomach is growling and my mouth is watering; I should go eat.

I can do the stew, too. Vegetables (carrots in this case) can be juiced and used as a liquid. I might actually find the time to try that one since I don't need a millstone (or fresh wheat, which I have no idea where to buy right now). If I do I'll post pictures. I might substitute the meat only because I don't like meat and I'd have to eat this stuff after taking pictures.

Seko forgot to mention that as part of this challenge you also have to gather and process all ingredients the Cantrian way. Hope you've got a scythe and a millstone in the closet somewhere. ;)

Reading the fine print there, and wow, don't tell me what I can and can't do with my millstone in the privacy of my own home, okay?

:lol:

I think that stuff in fine print is just about liability protection.

What you do with your millstone in the privacy of your own home, as long as it does not infringe on the life, liberty, or property rights of another person should be at your own discretion.
