Just remember, you've been warned!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I don\u2019t cook.<\/p>\n

Let me repeat.<\/p>\n

I. do. not. cook.<\/p>\n

I decided a while back that I should at least TRY to learn.\u00a0 And if I was going to risk setting my kitchen on fire then I wanted to do it while making food that sounded appealing to me and what\u2019s more appealing than food inspired by Star Trek?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mmmmmm\u2026.Gagh\u2026..<\/p>\n

So I got out my Star Trek cookbook<\/a> and thumbed through all of the recipes until I found some I thought I could pull off.\u00a0 I told a friend what I was doing and he suggested I film my attempts for posterity.<\/p>\n

Uff da.<\/p>\n

THEN I\u00a0saw International House of Geek\u2019s Thanksgiving post and the recipe for Lembas bread and decided to try recipes from several different franchises.\u00a0 Really, I just wanted to try the Lembas bread. I explored The Geeky Chef<\/a> and between the Star Trek cookbook, IHOG and Geeky Chef, I found 5 recipes to try. One entree, one bread, and three beverages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I showed the rough edit of the first video to a family member and her first reaction was: \u201cIt\u2019s obvious you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true.\u00a0 I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

So feel free to laugh at my cluelessness in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

Up first, my new favorite Holiday beverage: Butterbeer!<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

(From Harry Potter<\/a><\/em>, in case you didn’t know)<\/p>\n

–<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s how to make it:<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

1\/4 cup unsweetened condensed milk<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup butterscotch topping<\/p>\n

2 tablespoons whipped butter, room temperature<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 cups vanilla cream soda<\/p>\n

Directions<\/strong>
\nCombine condensed milk, butterscotch topping, and butter in a glass heatproof measuring cup. Heat in microwave for 1 minute. Remove and stir until butter has melted and incorporated into mixture. Meanwhile heat cream soda in another heatproof measuring cup for 1 minute 30 seconds. Divide butterscotch mixture between 2 (10 to 12-ounce) mugs. Fill mugs with heated cream soda and stir thoroughly. Serve garnished with a cinnamon stick or an old-fashioned butterscotch candy stick.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n

I sure did!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
