Sorry the laptop started giving us issues while on the road. About a week ago it finally made it long overdue descension into the bowels of HELL. So the Ninja and I have not been able to let you all know I about the Quest we are traveling the USA on.
The quest for the Lost Scroll of Recipes. Yes we are on the trail of the oldest and secret cookbook in Culinary History. It is a copy the first recorded Cookbook ever to be passed from Chef to Chef.
This is the cookbook used to feed, Emperors, Conquers, Kings, and the Gods themselves. It has been passed down to great chefs and culinarians over the ages. Smuggled out during wars, famines, and diet crazes. this cookbook is only handed to the Master of Master Chefs every generation. The new recipient is suppose to recopy down the brilliance of these past Masters and added his\her own knowledge and current advancement of the time. Ever once in awhile the gifted Chef will even added a recipe of his\her own to this book of gastronomic perfection. But after the recipient has copied the previous copy of the cookbook, he/she is to destroy it so only their copy is left to instruct the new Masters.
For it is believed that if the cookbook were to ever become public knowledge the recipes could cause riots and wars over their preparation. Don't believe it could happen. Then I ask you how much sillier is it to have a war over "how much butter to use" than a war over a different translation of passage in a book inspired by God. Yes, mankind have killed and destroyed for less, for unseen immaterial things, beliefs. So imagine what Mankind would do over something that they can experience with all five senses.
The cookbook must also be kept hidden from those whom soul are own by the pursuit of wealth of material over the wealth of soul or enrichment of body and spirit. Imagine what would happen to all you humans if a fast food restaurant or factory go their hands on the perfect recipes and techniques of ages. Yes, you would all be their slaves. you would all be controlled by your stomachs, obeying your Retail Overlord for the next meal. Besides that is my plan for you little humans. Pugs Rule, you Drool.
Yes, Pugs and all of dogkind shall rule over the world as we are meant to. Our sense of Taste, smell, and superior appearance make us the dominant species for keeping the world whole and spinning as it has when we first took over from the dinosaurs.
Anyways, I believe I have stumbled upon a the diary of along past owner of the Lost Scroll of Recipes. He writes about his meeting and receiving the cookbook in France during World War II and him fleeing to America with it. The great fact for me was he was on the ship while coping the cookbook and said he was afraid to destroy the original given to him for fear of his copy would be lost in an attack or if the US lost the war. So he left and hidden fragments of the original after he had transcribed his copy. He planned to recollect the original after the War was over. But the diary ends a year before the War was won and I found out the Chef was killed by a zealous Food critic not long after the last diary entry.
So Iron Chef Ninja and I are going to travel the US and try to recreate the landscape of a changed country to determine the where abouts and clues left almost 70 years ago. Sound a lot like some movies I have seen.
