As much as Overlord makes fun of the bacon craze, she can’t really leave it alone. Agent Beryllium recently posted a fairly accurate imagining of the Over-lair kitchen.
Behold: Last weekend’s project, the chocolate chip potato chip bacon cookie.
These were all about texture.
The last bacon cookie I made had rendered bacon fat creamed into the butter and sugar. That is a really good way to get heartburn.
These were adapted from the Momofuku Milk Bar cookbook’s compost cookie recipe. They’re a lot smaller, and I used maple syrup instead of glucose, but I did use a high fat butter and spent a really long time whipping it. The result was a much lighter, crispy on the outside bacon cookie.
Potato chips stay crispy in cookie dough for a really long time. Happy adventures in overkill.
On Sunday morning I woke up early and saw a dense, dense fog outside my window. I threw some boots and a coat over my pajamas and quickly walked down to the water front for some pictures before it lifted.
Overlord has been on this walk dozens of times, and I’ve got scores of pictures, but I was really lucky to catch this. Visibility was low, the sun was barely up, street lamps were still on, and I couldn’t see the other side of the river.
I’m currently cheating on a 365 project, affectionately named 36KILL. There You can see the sprinkles I put on my pancakes.
Last week The Overlord and one of her friends joined forces to make a Vlad the Impaler themed gingerbread scene.
Mrs. Ty-LAR is very good at all of the things this Evil Overlord is not: patience, measuring, patience….needless to say if I had attempted this on my own it wouldn’t have turned out this well…
The epic gummy massacre:
It really is deceptively cute from a distance, bringing you in for a full on WTF moment up close…
Many thanks to my pastry partner. Next year? A Josef Mengele house full of marzipan midgets and twins. Too far? Maybe?
The Overlord absolutely loves reading The Art of Manliness. Weird, I know, but not really. Yeah, I’m a chick, but I can throw a kettle bell around for two solid minutes before complaining that I’m sore all week.
In this home-spun little city that The-Great-and-Evil-Overlord calls home it is popular, very popular, to adopt a sort of old-timey image. Beards and sweaters and wood chopping and all that. It’s a total facade, these Man-Children just stopped shaving and turned in their jerseys for bow ties, but they’re trying. Deep down they know. They’re hiding that big, soft, gooey center of privilege and entitlement bred into our generation, but at least they know…
Anywho…I stumbled across this entry on How to Make a Citizen’s Arrest. Since two of my three readers are into that sort of thing, I thought I’d post it. Unfortunately there isn’t any advice on wearing a costume…
If you see a bad guy commit a felony, but he’s unarmed and isn’t fleeing, reasonable force would probably be grabbing his arm and saying, “I’m putting you under a citizen’s arrest until the police get here.”
Doing a flying jump kick to his sternum and then putting him in a sleeper hold while whispering ”shhhh…go to sleep my sweet little evil one” would probably be considered excessive force, and you could be liable for any injuries you may have caused the bad guy.
Also, nothing about bear mace or crack pipes….but the Übermas gift guide is excellent. Get your minions some mustache wax and things that smell like whiskey and leather.
It is difficult to pin point the beginning of the Season of Übermas, the most illegitimate of holidays. Villains are a greedy lot, sponging up every blood soaked day we can get, some crying Übermas as early as Halloween. For The Overlord, Übermas begins with the Feast of the Dark Lord of Krelm. The legend and [...]
Incognito. First up on the Villainous reading list, this one has lots of pictures. It’s about a Villain. He’s cornered into ratting out his organization, and ends up trapped in an office job under witness protection. Nuff’ said?
Overlord is currently obsessed with sea foam and cotton candy hair. Currently, I’m still rocking the faded deep blue/green that blends so well with my natural almost black. I’ve always leaned towards dark, dark and more dark with a splash of red. All the red had to be pushed to the back of the closet [...]
I am the Overlord. I enjoy drinking hot cocoa and making frosty comments. I think cannibalism is funny. This is my favorite time of year, because my toes are perpetually cold. Some of my hobbies include taking bad pictures and talking to my cats. I used to have a site affectionately named “Evil as a [...]
