Hungry for Peeta's Cheese Buns

[slumber]

Someone alerted me to the existence of these series of videos where a group of girls try to recreate the food in The Hunger Games, and I am DETERMINED to make Peeta's Cheese Buns for Saturday when we do our watch party for the Hawks. DETERMINED. Also then I can say I've eaten Peeta's cheese buns because I am twelve years old and very easily amused.

Then I want to try doing the District 11 bread because the ingredients for that look superawesome: poppy seeds, oatmeal, milk, sugar, honey, flax seeds, sunflower seeds... WANT.

I was also talking to someone about food from Game of Thrones and there's a blog/LJ/SOMETHING out there that has recipes from the book too, but those sound like they're better for autumn cooking anyway, and I want to try those too.

Fandom + Food = TRUE LOVE FOREVERRRRRRRR

ETA: My coworker just gave me the bestest idea ever: A Capitol-themed Halloween party!

Things wot I want to try with it:

Lunch with Cinna
Cupcakes on Fire - trolololol how the fuck do I make fondant?
Goose liver and puffy bread
Pasta in Green Sauce
Capitol pumpkin soup
This or this version of the lamb stew with dried plums dish.

Well. Maybe not all at once. I definitely want to do the cupcakes, the pasta, the goose liver and puffy bread, but it probably should be more cocktail-y if it's a Halloween party and not as much meal-y. There's gotta be more colored drinks and shit too. ALSO. Capitol Couture, that'll be FUN. If people don't want to dress up like Effie Trinket we can tell people to dress up in suits and slick back their hair and then we'll hand out a cutout of Seneca Crane's beard SO THERE.

Wow, those actually look amazing. Report back if they're good, okay?

[slumber.livejournal.com]

I shall! And honestly, the best part is that they look really easy to make too!

Ohmanohmanohman. This is way better than Pokemon cooking, which was basically just food arranged to look like Pokemon. Practical fandom recipes! Wahoooo

YESSSSS :D I'ma do a Capitol-themed Halloween party now. Or maybe I won't even wait til Halloween. :D

You can buy fondant if you don't wanna make it yourself. But it's basically just a sugar paste I believe.

That makes things a ton easier for me! I'm a little terrified of working with sugar, lol.

Sounds fun!! I believe you can buy little buckets of fondant that you just need to roll/shape (and possibly color).

Hah, then perhaps the fondant cupcakes will be attempted sometime in the future! :D

Two days after reading THG I ran to Trader Joe's for frozen naan and for Truffle Mousse paté. I craved puffy bread and goose liver (or its equivalent) like no one's business.
