Fallout Inspired: Radiated Soup

Its been awhile my fellow gamers… and I have missed you all! 

I wanted to share a very favorite recipe of mine that I hope you will enjoy.

It is a recipe that has been in my family for a very very  long time. I love it, many others love it too and ask how to make it. 

I want to share it as 

Fallout: RADIATED SOUP

The Goods

27oz of Baby Spinach (it may seem like a ton, but spinach shrinks when you cook it)

32oz (4cups) of Chicken Stock 

16oz (2cups) of Milk
16oz (2cups) Water

1 onion

7 eggs

Salt to taste

Pepper to taste

Olive Oil

Tutorial

Grab large spoon pot (Cauldron hehehe)
Chop onions coarsely. 
Drizzle about a tablespoon or two into the pot.
Turn on heat to medium-high, to start warming up the oil.
Once oil is hot, add onions.
Stir onions occasionally to make sure they do not stick to the bottom of the pot. 
Add about two pinches of salt. 
Stir onions until transparent and soft.
Add both chicken stock, milk, and water.
Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, Lower the heat to medium - low (otherwise the milk will make the soup boil over)
Gradually add the spinach. (you will need to let some spinach shrink before adding more)
Be sure to use all of the spinach.

Here comes the tricky part..

Once all spinach is added and stirred around the pot, continue to let the soup simmer.
Crack the eggs and drop the eggs in sparse places of the soup (I like dropping them in a circle and the rest in the middle)
DO NOT STIR!
I repeat DO NOT STIR
Let the soup cook the eggs, stirring the soup will mess up the eggs.
cook/simmer for about 10 minutes then STIR VERY GENTLY AND SLOWLY.
Turn off heat and let soup cool before serving.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve into bowls, make sure you get an egg or two in there.
**Add some hot sauce if you like - I like Tapatio

ENJOY!

P.S. Don't forget to take some RADAWAY & Rad-X ;-)

Fallout inspired: Wasteland Nachos

The Fallout games are my all time favorites. I can't get enough of the post apocalyptic story line and themes that go along with them. All the side quests can have me playing for hours on end. Yes, it is safe to say I am addicted and I need a doctor to rid me of my "chem" addiciton. LOL

So I came up with a mouth watering recipe. It took me quite some time to come up with something FALLOUT themed. So I thought to myself, what food out there do a majority of people like? NACHOS!  So here it is, WASTELAND NACHOS. Eat as much as you want! I promise you wont get RAD poisoning, it is safe to say you can toss your RADAWAY. :-)

It should look like nuclear fallout landed ALL OVER your tortilla chips.
