your goose is probably only half-baked at this point

Either you get the reference in the title or you're in need of a few days' vacation to watch Seirei no Moribito/Guardian of the Sacred Spirit . Easily the best anime I've ever watched, and I rewatch it about once a year. Goes great with a beer and this soup, I'll tell you, though you could plop me down in front of it with a cup of lukewarm Natty Lite and a stack of stale saltines and I'd probably not complain. This is an adaptation of one of the first meals I ever learnt to cook, made vegetarian because that's how I roll these days, and boy-howdy is it good. Comfort food to the maximum, highly recommended.

You're welcome . Cloud City Potato Soup Ingredients 2 tsp olive oil 2 tbsp butter ...

There's a joke to be made here about Owen and Beru Lars, but it's just ... too soon . Too soon, man. (Happy headcanon: Those're Stormtrooper skeletons on the doorstep. Owen and Beru escaped and hid in the shadows, helping Luke and the Rebellion. Also Aunt Beru is a badass Jedi who hangs out with Leia on the weekends, telling all of the embarrassing stories she can about Luke as a child.) Yup. Tusken Raider Fries Ingredients 2-4 red potatoes, scrubbed but NOT peeled 1 tbsp olive oil 1/2 tsp sea salt 1 tbsp dry oregano Instructions - Preheat oven to 420*F. I use my toaster oven and it's all good. - Slice each potato into quarters, then cut each quarter into quarters so you have what look like fries. - Toss those into a medium mixing bowl. - Add the oil, salt, and oregano. - Using a rubber spatula, toss all that together until it's as even as it's going to get.
