Tough call. Meteorites sometimes are tougher, denser stuff, so there's a better chance of them actually making it all the way to the ground, but comets usually have a rather larger infall velocity and the airburst at altitude can still be pretty destructive.

 

I'll go with the meteorites, since some of those are iron-nickel, and those can be turned into legendary magic (or anti-magic) weapons.

 

 

Great Nebula in Orion (M42) or the Great Cluster in Hercules (M13)?

Bohrium. It was named after a real hero who did a lot of work against the Nazis while still in Nazi occupied territory. To keep Nazi scum from seizing the Nobel prize medallions of two scientists on the Nazi fecal roster he dissolved them in aqua Regia and stored the dissolved medals in plain sight. Later the gold was reconstituted from the solution and recast into the medallions again.

Recipe, or it didn't happen.

((OFF TOPIC))

 

This is an aluminum foil recipe. Serves one. Make multiple separate packets if you are serving more than one.

 

Chicken part (I'm a white meat guy, so it was usually a breast)

1/8 to 1/4-inch thick slice of a medium onion

Garlic powder (two scant pinches)

Dried oregano (two scant pinches)

Bottled Russian salad dressing (two generous teaspoons)

 

Comment: The Russian dressing has honey in it (most salad dressings don't) which makes the baked juice have a nice glaze to it. Other dressings are a real step down.

 

Lay out the foil. Cut the onion slice in half. Separate the rings of one half of the slice, and array them on top of the middle of the foil.

 

Sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder and pinch of oregano over the onion.

 

Pour 1 teaspoon of the salad dressing over the onion.

 

Lay the chicken part atop everything.

 

Repeat the first few steps: separated onion ring halves, garlic powder, oregano, salad dressing, but everything goes on top of the chicken.

 

Roll up the foil to make a sealed packet. Take care to bend the ends up, and don't puncture the foil, so the juice doesn't escape the packet while cooking.

 

Bake on an oven sheet or pizza pan. Starting with a cold oven and a frozen chicken breast right out of the freezer (c'mon, what bachelor remembers to thaw anything?), set your oven for 400 F and the timer for an hour.

 

I prefer to serve this with rice; put a mound of rice on the plate, pick open one end of the packet and pour the juice over the rice. Then open the packet the rest of the way and put the rest on the plate. Strangely, Worcestershire sauce is a good table condiment with this.

 

Note only the knife and the cutting surface and knife are dirtied in the prep process. No pans, unless the foil leaks. Fairly long cooking time, but tasty enough to prepare and serve for a prospective S.O. and even prospective mother-in-law.

 

Five stars. Joe Bob says check it out.

Norma Jean. Because...

 

Got a phone call from Norma

Said, she's lovin' the farm

Spends her time advancin' her mind

In sweet Johnny's arms

Said, he's glad to be out of the running

Glad he got away clean

Workin' the land with dirt on his hands

For his sweet Norma Jean

They got a big old four-poster

They know it's comin' soon

Baby needs shoes and when the little one's due

They'll be needing some room

 

 

Red or green or violet

the latter since I have to deal with one at some point nearly every night on my way home from work.  (some nights I get the feeling local's "pastime" is to sit around in their car waiting for me to pull out behind me)

 

 

Damn, Louisville what's with your coaching hires?
