OK, first of all, how HARD can it be to put 7 items into a picnic basket? Do I put the beer on top of the cake? Do I crush the mints?? Does the bread in the sendwiches get soggy? Do I forget to put the salad in little zip-loc baggies? Do I just pour the beer over everything? And why does it have to be in an oven? Don't you think the picnic basket would catch on fire?? (Any other 8-slot baking places?)


HOW HARD CAN IT BE??????????????????


Second...

You have become better at baking! (201)

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only ~500 picnics to go from 193 to 201, and 6 stacks of picnics (yes, that's 30 successes) to boot! Raid food!


We now return you to our regularly scheduled XP-grinding.

Misty Thicket Picnics are a Feng Shui type of thing.

You have to put the items in the basket in harmony. ;-)

First, grats on the Baking 201.


Second, Picnics are a delicate food. One slight misstep, and the entire meal is ruined. Kaput. Completely destroyed. Add to that the fact that everything, all 7 items, must fit into a container that is the same size, if not smaller, than each individual ingredient. Also bear in mind that the finish product necessarily weighs only 0.4 units. The heating process must shrink all the ingredients, but if you leave them in too long, the baskets shrink too much, and again, the entire meal is ruined. Once everything is in, the finished product must be cut into four equal pieces, none larger or smaller than the others, each which must weigh only 0.1. Face it, would YOU buy a meal that was supposedly the same as your neighbor's for the same price, only to get less?

Now tell me how simple it is to make a picnic. No wonder even the Grandmaster Bakers can ony manage maybe 50% of the time.

Good luck on the rest of your journey to 250.

I know a lot about cooking from watching great chefs on the Food Channel. The most important thing about the whole meal is carefully placing that little green thingy precisely in the right spot when everything else is finished. It takes a real master to do that. Otherwise, without the little green thingy placed just right, you simply have an ordinary home-cooked meal.

Display! That's the secret known only to really great chefs.

[Sanna]

heheheh, /agree Footsore.


and that's a good point, Phabos. I never pay attention to sizes and weights. hm. /shrug.

The ore for the steel boning is very heavy and yet the final product is so light. How do they do that?

[Silound]

Metal melts out in oven? sorta like shrink wrapping?

Misty Thicket Picnic = The Twinkie of EQ. Only good for you.

Cream, sugar, flour, eggs, milk and water in the quantities required to produce one Twinkie weigh more than a Twinkie.

In real life however, Twinkies are not wholesome, nutrious foods that produce wonderously bennefical effects on the consumer. Misty Thicket Picnics in EQ, on the other hand offer a multitude of good effects to those who eat them.

One more oddity brought to you by the Enchantress of Doom.

thanks

/em files away one more bit of useless trivia.

Really strange picnic phenomenon: Steel Boning (metal sticks) + Woven Mandrake (roots sewn together) -> Picnic Basket: EDIBLE.

Root kabobs using metal skewers Its not like other roots aren't eaten (ginger for easy example, and for examples-that-stretch-"root" any tuber)
