Rysshcate recipe?
Renata
Still somewhat dazed by what has transpired in my absence, I am going
to put in something for those bakers among us to mull over.
What is the recipe for rysshcate? It's got nuts, it's dark, it's got
spices, it's moist (I suspect a generous application of Whyrren's).
I've been playing with the idea of trying to duplicate it. I'm thinking
of a sort of alcoholic Dundee cake without the fruit. If Mike's here,
he gets the final word, but since he is (I hope) typing wonderful new
stories into a computer somewhere rather than lurking in NGs, it may be
up to us.
Thoughts? Opinions? Recipes?
(Yes, the next SW book I want to see: "Cooking from Corellian
Kitchens...by Mirax Horn and Iella Antilles"...)

He did? When? And how do you do it?
(I'm guessing Blue Curacao is involved...)
Cheers,

Except for the Irish Whisky part. That's from Mike, though I
don't remember exactly where I got it: Whyren's Reserve _is_ Irish
Whisky. The left-in-a-casket-for-umpteen-years-woody-flavor type.
Of course, I have no idea which Irish whiskies are that good. I
defer to the experts among us.

Now, I don't know much about the basics of cake-making either,
would you believe it? So when I say eggs, flour and sugar down
there, I'm really not sure of the relative amounts involved. You'll
have to extrapolate from the cakes you know.
OK. Stir some cinnamon, just a little ground coffee, and cacao in
your flour. Also add the requisite amount of baking soda. Mix eggs
and sugar into batter, add the flour mixture, add walnut and/or
hazelnut pieces, stir stir stir.
Pour into square tray. Bake.
While it's baking, brew coffee. I'd make it strong; that might be
just my coffee-loving self <duck Kristy's thwap>; it's your call.
When the cake is out, let it cool just a bit, then when both the
cake and the coffee are warm, soak cake with unsweetened coffee.
Then pour the whiskey on, while the cake is still warm, so that it
is absorbed.
Wait until cool. Eat. Send some to me, too.
Modify according to taste and more advanced knowledge of baking.
(oh, and nitpicking: I think it's _rhyscate_, but I might be
getting that wrong, too.)

Well, we should have made a cake while I was there then. (Just realized
we didn't follow up on our intention to try making baklava (yummy!!!!),
something to keep in mind for the future.)
Anyhow: I happen to know someone who said she was making a ryshcate
once upon a time. I'll be seeing her at RadCon this weekend, so I'll do
my best to get her recipe out of her, and pass it along to you guys.

The f*ck-off-murderous-can-only-drink-laphroaig-for-hours-afterwards type,
you mean?
(maybe it was a bad idea to see if four of us could take down the bottle in
two shots each... =)

Warrior: En Garde.
IIRC Two shots of grain alcohol (Camille recommends Everclear), cut
with one shot of:
ouzo (Marik variant)
sake (Kurita variant) (jet fuel also usable, apparently)
bourbon (Davion variant) (tequila in the capellan or davion march,
cant remember which)
Can't remember the other variants. :)

That's right, he describes it in the bar on solaris, doesn't he.

Heh - the book's on the shelf so I can look it up if I feel like it :>

Yup. Kind of hard when you can't drive to a grocer's to pick up
ingredients...

Works for me--and, Renata, if you try the one I posted, let us
know how it worked, OK?
Me not have time to bake.

There's a somewhat disturbing saying that goes like "It's not
abstinence if you have no choice." I guess mine is like that--it's
not as much as I'm a coffee fiend as I have no choice. And I'd
rather have my caffeine in coffee rather than tasteless tablets or
sugar-loaded sodas... Coffee, at least, has an aroma. Besides, I
_am_ Turkish. Some racial traits I retain ;-).
Oh, and this might amuse y'all: Because of the Wedge figurine on
my desk, a labmate of mine put Wedge in the list of people at the
door. The corner at which all of our coffee-tea stuff stand
(machines, ingredients, etc.) subsequently was christened "Wedge
Antilles Coffee and Tea Bar." I'll make a sign for that; I won't
convert it to kaf to save explanations, however.

And as a Scotsman, I tend to take about 2/3 of my caffine in Irn-Bru...

I prefer "Caff-enema"...
Clare Cronin
and some Grand Marnier (liquor store was closed today, so I'm substituting).
Tomorrow I'll tackle this, and will bring the result to the next meeting of
AFW-DC.
Speaking of which...
