Back to the dungeons for some more experiments!
Salutations True Believers! I come to you again with more doings from the lab! It has been a pretty rocking summer for the Kartoffel and the summer tour went very well. (Some updates still to come on that point). But for now I come to you with more food experiments and also the blow by blow from any mutant battles that may or may not have arisen from my food experiments (got to have some deniability here don't ya know ). So I will have to relate how I saved Disney land and what the adoring masses at Comic-con were like later. Now on to the experiments!
We have several things on the plate tonight here in the lab. The first being a low carb pizza. This is a process that I come back and tinker with every so often to try and improve upon. Now I may have related one process before that I use. In most cases I a large portabella mushroom as a crust. This is very functional but rather tiny and it doesn't have quite the same feel in the bite and it lends a different flavor to the pizza. So tonight I am using a low carb crust from carb sense. This one seems okay, but it still has some carbs to it's name. The part being the most difficult to re-create is the gluten and it's elasticity which my other experiments have yet to replicate. (I don't count the giant dough monster that ate half my lab one time, since I didn't get to eat it, then it doesn't count as a food). This one started out just fine, and the occasional mozzarella mutants were kept to a minimum. I first tossed all the bread like ingredients into the bread-o-matic-robo-overlord-4000. After appealing to it's sense of destroying humanity through junk food so that it would continue to serve my plans. Once the Robo-Overlord took over the bread part I went on to gather my ingredients from the subterranean vaults. Now the vaults are fairly well protected and it used to take an hour or so going down before you get to the upper tiers, but with the new bullet train that I recently had installed the trip is much easier. (Sneaking in mag lev tracks is also kind of hard through the US postal service by the way). Down in the vaults I checked on the status of various projects and some of the mutant population I employ. (Potatoes do very well working underground without ever seeing the sun which comes in handy for subterranean workers). So in gathering the pizza toppings I decided to try some work with some cryo experiments at the same time and picked up those as well to have delivered to the upper labs.
After the trip back from the vaults I started to work with the results from the Robo-Breadmaster and put on the toppings and a large selection of cheeses (Colby, parmesan, mizthra and gouda). And set those into the nuclear stone oven. (a tricky oven to use, but really economical with the fuel). Now for the cryo experiments! First I felt the need for a finely chilled beverage and settled upon root beer. After mixing in the ingredients with carefully tuned machinery (or perhaps more accurately tossing things in and eyeing it all to see if it looks right) I tossed in some dry ice to both carbonate and chill the mixture. This works great but I underestimated the chilling ability of the dry ice and thus had to apply more to get the beverage down to an acceptable level. Now for the remainder of the experiment that has yet to be carried out, but don't fret, I have gotten pretty good and minimizing explosions by now, and since the plans are for an ice cream the fallout is 80% likely not to be either radioactive or toxic. That is all for now True Believers! Excelsior!
The Kartoffel!
