Oh, never fear. Some variation of Manderley’s Pie will probably make its way onto the blog. :)

I wouldn't be surprised if before the series is over Roose and Ramsay end up in some canapés as well, or perhaps a hearty quiche.

Giants going to the Super Bowl against the Patriots! Hope they can slay the figurative dragon once again, and not "pull a Quentyn". I'll be rooting for New York all the way, hopefully the win can inspire GRRM in the way the last Super Bowl win did four years ago. It is going to be a long two weeks and I can't wait.

I believe it would go more along the lines of: Ell Eye Man Man raised his mighty fist to his misshapen brow. He ran his hand over the lumps and ridges of his battered helmet, straining with thought. The tiny knight at his feet struggled to get away. His shield depicted a burly man in a three point stance; more learned men would recognize this heraldry as that of the minor house Bradey, a house known across the North for their prowess at the game of neep-toss, a game at which they were frequent champions. As the knight, one Ser Thom Bradey, tried to scramble out of the general vicinity of Man Man's pressured assault and flee for his life, the giant brought down his mallet of prodigious girth and crushed the knight into paste. Somewhere, the hapless knight's gorgeous wife cried perfumed tears.

love the catch 22 of football season. if he does poorly he sulks and doesn't write, and if he does well he somehow doesn't write either. Also when it's not football season he wishes it was and doesn't write. I think there are two football equinoxes a year where things are just right where he may write.

What's the symbolism behind the Giant getting stabbed before Jon dies?

Did they lose or something when he wrote that?

Something to do with a bet where the Giants beat Dallas. The giant kills some guy a single star for his heraldry.

I had Sister's Stew the other day. Trip report: it was amazing.

Serve it out of a loaf of bread like it says and you will literally devour everything. I think I know why GRRM is so fat if this is the kind of thing he's eating every day.

Gonna store that recipe in a safe place and bring it out when I need to impress someone. Definitely try it out if you can.

How come more people don't smoke in Westeros, or even in Essos? Gandalf's wrecking that pipeweed or whatever it was in Lord of the Rings. I'm surprised it doesn't show up more in ASOIF, especially with the more motley groups running around (Ironmen, the wildlings, any of the slaver groups).

Dear George RR Martin,

write a scene in the next book where Dany sees a vision of a wizard ripping a huge bong hit please thank you.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Dolores Edd is a 1992 psychological thriller by Stephen King. The novel is narrated by the title character. Atypically for a King novel, it has no chapters, double-spacing between paragraphs, or other section breaks; thus the text is a single continuous whine which reads like the transcription of an endless complaint.

I would say I hope Gurm gets hit by a car like Stephen King but Gurm would just total the car and keep rolling along toward the Pizza Barn like a gelatinous force of nature.

Trip Report: based on recommendations in this thread, I made Sister's Stew earlier tonight. I skipped the bread bowl because the stew itself is high enough in carbs and calories as it is, but I of course then negated the calorie-saving effort entirely by drinking two bottles of Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout while eating it and one more while cleaning up. Solid pairing: a rustic, stick-to-your bones beer with a rustic, stick-to-your-bones stew.

The stew is basically an upscale New England clam chowder. I can see this being served in one of those kinds of restaurants that tries to make fancy and expensive modern versions of comfort foods and diner fare. The prep time was reasonable and I don't think there's anything in the recipe that might trip up an inexperienced cook. It doesn't say to do so in the recipe, but I rinsed all the seafood and thoroughly wrung out the clams and crab in paper towels to keep the dish from being too fishy.

That fat rear end in a top hat really does know his food.
