There Don't Appear to Be Any Recipes Containing Space Rodent, Though.

Got my copy of the second fan-produced Farscape cookbook in the mail today. Once again, I'll probably never actually cook anything from it, but it's a fun little publication, anyway, scattered with humorous "advertisements" for things like Aurora Chair upgrades and Levianthans for Dummies books and with various amusingly appropriate quotes from the show. (Ex: D'Argo: "Who made this shelak?" John: "Recipe called for chicken. All I had was space rodent.") They've come up with some very funny and highly creative Farscape-related recipe names, too. My personal favorite: "Grayza's Hot Basted Breasts" (Yes, it's a chicken recipe!), though the "Interon Popsicles" have to merit at least an honorable mention.

And in case you've ever wondered how Scorpius makes a salad:
First approach your lettuce. Do it slowly and from the shadows, allowing your pointed teeth to be the first thing it sees. While it is frozen in terror by your awesome presence, hack the unfortunate vegetable to pieces with a sharp knife. (Certainly, a blunt knife might be crueler, but we are under certain time constraints.)

Make the tomatoes watch.

And so on... If my vegetables ever give me any guff, I think I'll just show them this and have them quaking in their crisper. Ha! That'll teach 'em!
