[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

	You will need to feed 6 adults and you have not had time to go shopping nor will you before they get here. You look around your pantry/fridge and this is what you come up with. You have 2 hours to get it on the table. You need to make an apetizer, main meal and a desert. Fridge: A flank steak (enough for 6 peeps) 6 pork chops 5 strips of thick sliced hickory smoked bacon a chunk of Sharp cheddar cheese a small chunk of regiano cheese 1/2 bottle of left over red wine 1/2 a jar of raspberry preserves 3 granny smith apples 2 oranges a 12 oz basket of raspberries a 16 oz container of plain yogurt a 16 oz bag of mixed greens baby lettuce a 16 oz container of whole mushrooms 2 pounds of asparagus a bit past its prime but the tips are still good 2 pounds of green beans dry food storage: 12 baby new potatoes 2 acorn squash 3 heads of garlic a red onion 3 beefsteak tomatoes 2 bell peppers digging around in the pantry you find a bag of egg noodles a jar of wild rice a jar of sun dried tomatoes a jar of marinated artichoke hearts a large can of pineapple chunks a box of chocolate cake mix Checking the bread box you have: a baguette a loaf of french bread. You have all the staples mik eggs spices etc so what are you going to make? I will post my dinner menu and recipes after I see a few others Ideas =) -----signature----- WoW Ayla Hunter, Lightbringer, Z Guild May the forces of evil become confused while your arrow is on its way to the target. ~George Carlin~ A'yla level 126 UA AC FF www.zguild.org

	This is what I ended up making For the apetizer I sliced up the baguete brushed it with warm olive oil in which I had sauted about 3 cloves of smashed and diced garlic then some of them I put grated cheese, sun dried tomatoes on some I left plain I then broiled them. Served them with the artichoke hearts as well. For dinner I could not decide on the beef or the pork finally I just threw the chops in a roasting pan with diced garlic, the potatoes, and added the green beans, quartered apples and mushrooms when they were just about done. I also baked the squash. Made a salad out of the greens, oranges, and red onion. I made a dressing out of some of the wine, olive oil, a touch of red wine vinegar and all kinds of spices just kept tasting it till it was 'right' I think I used rosemary, black pepper, tarragon. For dessert I baked the cake and while it was still warm I poured raspberry jam over it that I had heated a bit in the microwave. I threw some of the raspberries on the top. The others I saved to go with the yogurt in case someone didnt want cake. it didnt turn out half bad but boy was I in a panic at first LOL! Tazer you didnt get the invite???? -----signature----- WoW Ayla Hunter, Lightbringer, Z Guild May the forces of evil become confused while your arrow is on its way to the target. ~George Carlin~ A'yla level 126 UA AC FF www.zguild.org

	Appetizer: Fry the bacon and dice. Fry the asparagus tips in a bit of olive oil or butter. Shred the regiano. Clean the mushrooms & remove the stems. Stuff the mushrooms with above and broil til it looks good. Main meal: I'd grill some of the steak and a couple of the pork chops over a high heat for a couple of minutes. Charred outside, pink inside. Remove and slice thinly. Then I'd go for a Mexican feel. Dice the lettuce, tomato, cheese, red onion, grill the bell pepper, spice the yogurt with garlic powder & cumin & chili powder, and maybe even some diced artichoke hearts that you got. If tortillas are available, go for a kicked up soft taco or burrito. If not, slather it upon toasted baguette/french bread like a tapenade. Desert: Bake the apples. Put a small bit of pine apple into a food processor and mince. Mix it with the baked apple and portion into 6 ramekins. Take the cake mix and a stick of butter and mix together in a separate bowl. Once it's incorporated, sprinkle on top of the apple & pineapple mixture and bake until it's crunchy (like a crumble). -----signature----- (none)
