very long way. To add to the period feel, hire a cross dresser to serve it with apples and nuts.
Kitty Nurse Kibble (S3E4 - Gridlock)
3 cups/700 g rolled oats (not instant)
1 cup/200 g nuts and seeds
½ cup/120 g dried fruit
½ cup/100 ml dark honey
¼ cup/50 g unsweetened coconut flakes
1 tsp/5 g cinnamon
1 tbsp/15 ml vanilla
We’re back on New Earth, where the Face of Boe is once more being tended by personal nun and part time pet kitty, Novice Hame.
In honor of the cars endlessly circling below, I humbly offer this anthropomorphized cat chow. It packs densely, is shelf stable at room temperature for months, and is equally nutritious whether you’re on an endless roadtrip or living with your head in the clouds.
Preheat your oven to 300F/150C. While the oven warms up, soften your honey in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. You don’t want it to boil, but you do want to get it a little bit runny. Mix in the vanilla and cinnamon. Once those are well blended, add your oats, coconut flakes, and nuts or seeds. Personally, I like pepitas and peanuts, but feel free to use sunflower seeds, flax seeds, pecans, walnuts, almonds, or whatever crunchy bits suit you.
I usually start this process by coating a large plastic spoon in olive oil (so the mix won’t stick to the spoon) and really putting my elbow into it, but I still end up with some bits too dry and others too soggy. I recommend skipping this well intentioned but ultimately delusional step. Just rub your hands down with some oil (it helps keep everything from sticking to your skin) and get in there with your bare hands from the very start. Really knead it so everything is coated in a little honey.
Once you’re satisfied with the honey to crunchy bits ratio, butter the heck out of a cookie sheet and spread your mix out as thinly as possible. Bake it for about 15 minutes. Use a rubber or silicone spatula to break it all up and mix it around, then try to once more spread it thinly. Pop the mix back in the oven and bake it for another 10-12 minutes, or until it just barely starts to brown. There’s a thin line between deliciously crunchy and horrifically burned. When in doubt, undercook the kibble.
While it’s still hot, mix in your choice of dried fruit. I’m a big fan of cherries and blueberries, but you’re welcome to use cranberries, raisins, pineapple, mango, banana chips, or whatever makes your mouth happy.
Store your homemade kitty kibble in a glass jar or bowl at room temperature for however long you can keep your hands off it. I’m not sure how long it can theoretically last because mine has never survived more than two days.
This is actually a great addition to any Doctor Who themed party. Sprinkle it around whenever you need gravel, a quarry scene, or rocks to set the stage for another food. To serve it on its own, put it in a (clean, new) kitty litter pan and park some Hot Wheels in neat rows along the surface.
Extermination Loaf (S3E5 - Daleks in Manhattan)
1 long French or sourdough baguette
8 tbsp/75 g room temperature butter
½ cup/100 g chocolate chips
½ cup/100 g large edible ball bearings (or mayonnaise)
1 tbsp/15 g cinnamon
4 tbsp/60 g sugar
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp/5 g salt
chocolate buttons or oversized chocolate chips
white coffee straws
white gumdrops
You can easily make two flavors of this Dalek Bread. If you’re taking over Manhattan, enjoy the sweetness of a cinnamon sugar bread with a hint of chocolate on top. If, on the other hand, you’re stuck in Hooverville, try some garlic Dalek bread, preferably with slices of genetically modified ham on the side.
Whichever type you want to make, start by cutting your bread about six inches from the end of the loaf. The curved part is your Dalek’s head. You’ll get two Daleks per baguette (plus a little extra bread to spare.) Now that you have the bodies, cut four slices, about ⅔ of the way through the bread.
