Everybody loves dips, they’re easy to make, and they’re the perfect party food. If you’re planning on hosting an insanely extravagant party Stark-style, it won’t be complete without this dip.

Daenerys Stormborn’s Smoked Meat

Melvin has a serious crush on Daenerys of House Targaryen… and I have to admit that I do too. How can you not love the mother of dragons? As Melvin and I watched that obnoxious slave master being burned to death by Drogon, I couldn’t help but get hungry for some smoked meat. The problem is, I don’t have a smoker. So how can I have the satisfaction of making my own smoked meat without a dragon? Well, I found a way to turn a crockpot into a small smoker, perfect for making a smoked meat feast fit for a khaleesi! Or a khal too, I guess. Continue reading

In continuing with our Game of Thrones themed recipes, Melvin and I decided to make something in honor of House Tully and the recently aired episode showing the funeral of Lord Hoster Tully. Leave it to the Blackfish to be the one to shoot a flaming arrow into the pyre. Brynden Tully is pretty badass, and so is blackened tuna. Tuna steaks make for an awesomely filling dinner, and they are so easy to prepare. So light those arrows, take aim, and fire up that stovetop! We have some tuna steaks to blacken! Continue reading
