Qiqirn Almond Macaroons
• 1 cup of almonds
• 1 chicken egg
• 2 cups maple sugar
• ½ cup sunset wheat flour
• ⅓ cup vanilla beans
• 1 piece of bubble chocolate
• 1 rolanberry

I have infiltrated the qiqirn secret network to obtain this special recipe for almond macaroons.



This is a fun and easy recipe to make, with a lot of room for personal creativity. You have the choice of finely chopping the almonds or slicing them into halves, or a little bit of both! Once you have done that, combine with the maple sugar, egg, flour, and vanilla beans. Make sure you do this right after chopping the almonds to attain the most flavor from that lovely almond oil. Mix, mix, mix it up until you get a smooth, dry batter to work with



Roll the batter into little balls and cook with a fire shard until the cookies get a nice color to them. Or if you really want to make your cookies authentic… My reconnaissance has indicated that the qiqirn have taken to the adorable habit of shaping the cookies in the shape of themselves. Perhaps it has derived from the popular black mage shaped ginger cookies? I digress; here is where you will use that bubble chocolate and rolanberry. Cut two small pieces of chocolate for the eyes and a tiny piece of rolanbery for the nose. Finally, heat up the remaining chocolate and drizzle it over to make the qiqirn hood.



From careful observation, I have determined that these are a favorite snack amongst everyone’s favorite treasoor-seekers. I guarantee these cookies will calm a nervous qiqirn and coax it out of hiding with a delectable scent, causing you to be met with a pair of heart-melting bright eyes and an irrefutable duo of pink nose and whiskers. This is a great chance to ask about the latest rumoors regarding shinies and clink-clink.

Walnut-crusted Buffalo Sirloin with Aether-infused Rolanberry Sauce

This quick-and-easy recipe is great for first-time culinarians, making it perfect for getting the kids to help out with the cooking.

Ingredients

3 lbs. buffalo sirloin
4 cups fresh rolanberries
1 1/2 cups finely chopped Gridanian walnuts
1 cup mineral water
1/2 cup chopped shriekshrooms
3 tbsp. 100% organic clove oil

(Serves 6)

Preparing the Aether-infused Rolanberry Sauce

1. Obtain a large bowl with a warm aetheric energy. For this recipe, we highly recommend the Bowl of Embers.

• If using the Bowl of Embers, slaying Ifrit beforehand is an option but is not required. To slay Ifrit, simply use a sharp knife to dice Ifrit into small cubes.
  
• If preparing at home, you can achieve the same effect by leaving 3 fire clusters uncovered in a large bowl for 5-7 minutes. Note that doing so may generate mildly uncomfortable heat of up to 680 °C, so avoid overheating by opening a small window.

2. In the heated bowl, combine the rolanberries, mineral water, and desert saffron. Gently persuade a wild boar into stomping into the mixture until well blended. Set aside and let cool.

Preparing the Walnut Coating

3. In a large skillet, sauté the shriekshrooms for 2 minutes or until soft. Avoid overcooking as this may activate its natural toxins and release it into the atmosphere, killing millions.

4. Combine the shriekshrooms, Gridanian walnuts, and clove oil in a dodecahedral bowl to prevent mycoprotein aggregation (a choking hazard). Set aside.

Putting Everything Together

5. Dip the buffalo strips in the walnut mixture until evenly coated.

6. Cook the coated buffalo strips in a shallow skillet until cooked through. To test for doneness, simply consume a small piece. If you experience no negative physical reactions or death, the meat is ready to be served.

7. Arrange the buffalo strips diagonally along a clean macuahuitl. Place the bowl of aether-infused rolanberry sauce in the center of the macuahuitl and serve immediately. (If a macuahuitl is unavailable at the time of preparation, discard all prepared food immediately and repeat steps 1-6 with a macuahuitl prepared.)
