The Great Red Dragon... And The End Of A Podcast: Hannibal (Season 3 - Part 2)

Mind the cliff. Or jump right into it. We’re not the boss of you. What would a season 4 look like? Also: The Tattler’s a magazine again? Also also: Gillian Anderson’s neckline.

This is the end of the road for us here at the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, but be sure and check out our other fine podcasts on partyapocalypse.com!

Eris’ Fruit Soup

Don't judge me.
INGREDIENTS

16 oz frozen sliced strawberries in syrup

about 6-8 oz frozen blueberries

Can of pineapple chunks

3 kiwis, peeled and sliced into half-moon chunks

whatever fresh fruit you have laying around that you wanna use up (like oranges or apples or grapes)

DIRECTIONS:

Get you a big ass bowl with a lid. Like, a pasta salad kind of bowl. Defrost the strawberries in the fridge and then pour them babies into said bowl. Add in the blueberries (frozen, because like, have you ever defrosted blueberries? THE BLUE STUFF WILL STAIN YOUR SOUL and also your countertops). Add in your pineapple, your kiwis, and whatever other chunks of fruit you want. IF you like banana you can add banana but like, why?*

Stick it back into the fridge for a good hour or so to let the blueberries unfreeze and for all the juices and flavors to meld with the dragon--i mean soup.

Eat. Enjoy.

Okay, okay, some context: This is a family recipe. It's been pretty well distorted since my grandmother and great-grandmother made it to be more pantry/freezer friendly. If I remember right, they actually did some cooking? of the fruit? so it's kind of a fruity jammy sort of soup? I dunno.

Since it's very much soupy and not salady, you can serve this on icecream or cake or even mix it in a clear alcohol like vodka and drink it like a very fancy (and slightly chunky) cocktail.

But I legit just eat it with a spoon. It's fantastic in the summertime when it's 110 outside and your body is threatening to liquify and spill down the sewage drains.

GO! ENJOY YOUR FRUITY SOUPY-NESS! YOU UNICORN YOU.

*Eris does not like bananas. Like, at all.

To The Misfortune Of The Snail: Hannibal (Season 3 - Part 1)

All of our endings can be found in our beginnings. Let us one more take to our memory palace and dwell in the Duomo, ruminate on Muskrat Farm, and try not to think about all this bland soup we’re being fed. The end is near, and as with all endings, it will likely amuse God—that cad—greatly.

Eris’ Pumpkin Apple Streusel Muffins

INGREDIENTS:

Muffin part

2 1/2 cups flour

2 cups sugar

1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 cups pumpkin puree

2 large eggs

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2 cups apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped

Streusel part

2 tbsp flour

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

2 tbsp butter

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350º F. Line 2 dozen muffin tins with baking cups.

Combine the dry ingredients for the muffins (flour,sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt) in large bowl. Then get your wet stuff into another bowl--pumpkin, eggs and oil (NOT THE APPLES. HOLD YOUR APPLE HORSES)--and stir that up well. Mix wet stuff into dry stuff until moistened.

NOW you can add in the apples. Carefully eyeball the batter into into your muffin cups about 3/4 of the way full; wonder about 8-12 muffins in if you have any ability to estimate spacial-volume dimensions by sight.

NOW THE STRUESEL

Combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon in medium bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over muffin batter. Try not to eat it directly off your fingers. You should probably wash your hands now.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for another 5 minutes; then plop those babies out onto a wire rack to cool just enough that they don't burn your mouth when you inhale like, 3 of them at once.

#Drop It Like It's Guac

Ingredients

2 large or 3 smallish avocados

1 small red onion chopped

2-3 tomatos, chopped

Juice of 1 entire lime, freshly squeezed

1/2 - 1 cup greek yogurt

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: diced jalapeno, habenero, or other type of spicy pepper, if you want heat

Directions

Cleeve the avocados in half and take out the pits. Set the puts aside. Scoop out the green flesh and put into your bowl, smashing it lightly.

Add in red onion, tomato, and peppers (if you're adding them), then add half a cup of greek yogurt and begin to mix together. For more fluffy, creamy guacamole, add in more greek yogurt. Squeeze an entire lime into the mix, and salt and pepper liberally.

TIP FROM MR. MAC: now thst your guac is finished, hollow out a space in the bowl, add the pits back in, and recover with guacamole. This should keep the avocado from browning too quickly!

Who's Hungry?: Hannibal (Season 1 - Part 1)

This show is the mongoose I want under the house when the snakes slither by. This is just the first part of our discussion of the first season of Hannibal (with guests on-mic producers Z and Lora). We disagreed a bit about various aspects of the show, but two things we can all agree on:

Gillian Anderson keeps getting hotter.

Jack Crawford is the real monster of the show.

Eris's FOOD CRIME No-Bake Cookies

Ingredients

1 3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 stick (8 tbsp) butter
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups old-fashion (for a bite-y cookie) or quick oats (for a chewier cookie)
1 to 1 1/2 cups coconut flakes
1 tbsp vanilla extract
a pinch of salt

Directions

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa and bring to a boil. When it is bubbling at the edges, stir constantly to keep the milk from charring for 1 minute, then remove from heat.

Add in the oats and coconut, combine, then add in the vanilla and salt and mix thoroughly.

Drop into flattened balls (I like large, golfball sized cookies, but you do you, fam) onto the baking sheet, and rest them on the countertop for about 15 minutes before setting them into freezer for about another hour, until frozen solid. (Or, if you're like me, for as reasonably long as you can stand it, so like, 20 minutes).

Munch and gnaw on your frozen cookie goodness.

Much More Palatable No-Bake Cookies

Same as above but substitute the coconut for 1 cup smooth peanut butter (NOT CHUNKY) and a dash of cinnamon with the vanilla. You cowards.

12-14oz penne pasta

3 cups of water

Onion, diced (optional)

Shallow Rollers and Deep Rollers: Hannibal (2001)

Jack Crawford and the pencil lickers at Behavioral Science have deigned to send trainees to test us, as Donna and Kenzi from Beyond the Cabin In the Woods have joined us to discuss Ridley Scott’s unenviable task to create a sequel to the film Silence of the Lambs. Did they succeed? How did they handle the book’s ending? Have we all forgotten that the film even existed? Will our guests survive the trip to report all the way back to the F… B… Eye…? You must listen to find out.

Part 1 of our discussion about the film, which will be continued later this week on our episode of Beyond the Cabin, hosted right here on partyapocalypse.com!

Eris's Sort Of Almost Colcannon

INGREDIENTS

12-16 oz polish sausage, kielbasa, or other preferred sausage, cut into 1/2" medallions

1 head green cabbage, roughly chopped

1 yellow or sweet onion, chopped

2 lbs gold potatoes, quartered for faster cooking time

Splash of milk or cream

Salt and pepper

Irish butter (for topping)

DIRECTIONS

Start by boiling your gold potatoes. While waiting for them to cook, fry up your bite-sized sausage medallions in a medium-hot pan. If your sausage is pre-cooked, go ahead and add your chopped onion in now (if not, give your protein some time to cook through before you add in your chopped onion). Season with salt and pepper, and cook until onion is translucent and sausage is fragrant. Add in the cabbage, and cook for a few minutes longer, frequently stirring and flipping so it doesn't burn, until cabbage is bright green and shiny.

Once potatoes are soft, drain them, then season with salt and pepper and a splash of milk and butter. Mash until chunky. Serve alongside cabbage and sausage mix and top with a fat pat of irish butter.

She Might Be Depraved: Hannibal (The Novel)

Eris’ Biscuits and Sausage Gravy:

INGREDIENTS:

Canned Biscuit Dough

1 lb sausage

24-32 oz heavy cream, half and half, or whole milk

1-2 cups flour

1 tablespoon chilli powder

1 tablespoon black pepper

Salt and pepper to taste

(Optional: 1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes)

DIRECTIONS:

Go ahead and start preheating the oven for your biscuits. If you’re going to make your own, make them now. But I’ll be honest, I used canned.

In a medium to high heated up large skillet, brown the sausage with a dash of salt and pepper and chili powder. If you want a SPICY GRAVY add the paprika and red pepper flakes.

Once the meat is browned, add in a tablespoon or two of flour and coat the sausage with it. Once coated (you can tell because the sausage gets a sort of… softness to it, because the flour soaks up the fat and adheres to the meat), turn down the heat to medium and add in several cups of whole milk or heavy cream or half and half or whatever kind of fatty milk you’ve got. Yes, it has to have fat in it. No, you cannot use 2%, trust me. This is better. Go on a walk later if you’re worried about it. Add as much milk as you would like gravy.

Then, a quarter of a cup at a time, add flour. Whisk thoroughly between each addition. At about a whole cup of flour stop (or sooner, if it starts to get thick) let it go on about medium heat, stirring infrequently to keep the milk from scouring. After about 7 to 8 minutes or so, it should get REAL THICC. Add in the black pepper and stir it in.

Serve on top of split biscuits.

PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH, YUM.

Eris’ Bastardized Burek-esque not-Lasagna!

INGREDIENTS:

1 can crescent roll dough

1 lb ground beef*

1 medium vidalia or yellow onion, chopped

1/2 green cabbage, choppped

1-2 tbspn chili powder

1-2 tsp paprika

Salt & pepper

4 tbspn melted butter

Sprinkles of oregano

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat the oven according to instructions on crescent roll package. In an 8×8 glass pan, lay out 4 "rolls" of dough, enough to cover the bottom of the pan. (You may have to stretch the dough to fit). Bake according to the instructions on the package--save the other half of the dough for later.

In a large skillet, brown the meat on medium heat  Add chili powder and paprika and salt&pepper in with the meat. Once cooked, set meat aside in separate dish. In the same pan, cook the onion until mostly cooked through, then add the cabbage. Salt and pepper onion and cabbage, and cook until cabbage is bright green and much reduced.

On the now baked thoroughly layer of roll dough, layer the cabbage and onion, then the meat, then the raw leftover dough from earlier. Bake in the oven again for approximately 11 minutes. Take out, drizzle melted butter and oregano over the top of the dish and put back in the oven for another 3-5 minutes until top is golden brown and crispy.

Serve with sour cream or greek yogurt.

*However you interrupt "Chuck" is up to you. Ground Chuck? Grounded flesh of man named Chuck? Even Ground Turkey works in this dish! Chili is very versatile and forgiving. :)

To Be So Beautiful: The Silence of the Lambs (The Novel)

Is Hannibal Lecter the devil? Is Clarice Starling crazy? Is Buffalo Bill just the dumbest (or perhaps unluckiest) serial killer who ever serially killed? We’ll reckon with those questions and more as we begin to dip our toes in the water of the wonder that is The Silence of the Lambs!

Eris’s Not Quite Authentic Southern Chili!

INGREDIENTS:

1.5-2 lbs ground meat. (Chuck is good.)*

1 large vidalia onion, chopped

2 16oz cans pork and beans

1 16oz can kidney beans

1 16oz can black beans

1 16oz can diced tomatoes (or stewed tomatoes)

1 cup bbq sauce

2-4 tblspn chili powder

1/4 cup minced garlic

(Optional ingredients, add to your taste!)

Cumin, paprika, allspice, powdered cocoa/chocolate, red pepper flakes, salt & pepper to taste.

1 cup frozen corn

1-2 chopped bell peppers

INSTRUCTIONS:

Start by browning the meat and onion in a large chili pot on medium/high heat until cooked through. Lightly smash the 2 cans of pork and beans to create a paste and add to the pot. Add the kidney beans and black beans and the can of tomatoes. Add bbq sauce, spices, garlic, and optional ingredients to taste. Simmer on low heat for 20-30 minutes, until flavors are blended through. Keep refrigerated, and reheat on the stove for a wonderful leftover meal! Serving ontop cornbread is highly recommended.

*However you interpret "Chuck" is up to you. Ground Chuck? Grounded flesh of man named Chuck? Even Ground Turkey works in this dish! Chili is very versatile and forgiving. :)

We Hope You Won't Be Very Ugly: Red Dragon (2002)

We need to talk about Mrs. Doubtfire. Like, buckle up, because a fouth of this podcast episode, ostensibly about Red Dragon (2002), is going to be about Mrs. Doubtfire. Don’t worry, it will all make sense in the end. Well, not sense but we didn’t just pull the topic out of nowhere. Also, Mac and Eris marvel a bit that a Brett Ratner-directed Hannibal Lecter movie isn’t a complete disaster, although who needs a Marvel-style tag scene after all that?

Eris’s Chicken and Goat Cheese Cranberry Salad!

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 lb chicken breast (1 breast)

1/4 cup Italian dressing

Oregano

Salt & Pepper

Salad:

5 oz baby spinach

1/4 cup red onion, diced

1/2 cup dried cranberries (craisins!)

1/3 cup candied pecans

5-6 oz goat cheese medallions

Sliced Chicken

Balsamic Glaze

INSTRUCTIONS:

Marinate the chicken in Italian dressing for 2-4 hours in fridge. Preheat oven to 420 degrees, dress chicken with salt & pepper and oregano, and then bake for 30-35 minutes until cooked through. Cool, then slice.

To make the salad, build a bed with spinach, then layer onion, cranberries, goat cheese medallions, and sliced chicken. Top with candied pecans and drizzle balsamic glaze in a pleasing pattern on top (I like checkerboard). Serves 2.

Heartbeat. Heart. Beat. Liiisten to their heartbeat: Manhunter (1986)

Eris beholds for the first time the Great Red Dragon in his first trip to cinema screens. The Friendibals see a fellow traveller in Brian Cox, but are generally left wanting when presented with a two-hour episode of Miami Vice. Is it possible the works of Harris are just better suited to the small screen?

Eris’s Barbecue Pulled Chicken!

INGREDIENTS:

2 lbs chicken breast (2-3 breasts)

1/2 cup peach preserves

Splash of white vinegar

1/4-1/2 tbsp chili powder (measure with your heart!)

Dash of salt & pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a medium sized crockpot, mix the BBQ sauce, peach preserves, and vinegar together first into smooth sauce. Coat the chicken liberally with chili powder, salt & pepper and add to the crockpot. Smother the chicken in the sauce.

Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4. Check to make sure cooked throughly. Shred with a fork.

Serve on hamburger buns or on top of rice. Serves 4-6.

What They Are Becoming: Red Dragon (the Novel)

Enter Eris and Mac’s memory palaces, as they grapple with who they see when they think of Will Graham and friends, reckon with the tastiness of thoughts, and take a brief, ill advised detour into reality and reckon that The Great Red Dragon fully intended to come to their hometown next.

Eris’s Beef Stroganoff!

1/4 cup chili powder

1/4 cup paprika

Worcestershire sauce

1 cup Greek yogurt

(Optional) bouillon cube
