Here's a recipe for a non-food item. Food for the spirit?
Comet Joy
Ingredients:
1 clear dark night sky, after weeks of relenting cloudiness
1 Canon digital camera
1 green comet at perihelion
Directions: Find comet location on https://in-the-sky.org/news.php?id=20181213_18_100. Step out into dark night with camera on tripod. Locate Pleiades in eastern sky over Lake. Set exposure for 15 seconds, commence snapping pics, counting down in 5 second intervals. Bring camera in, download photos, rejoice that you found it -- your first comet photo!
Comet P46/Wirtanen, in this photo looking due east, is below and slightly to the right of the Pleiades asterism. Even with a digital camera it's at best a fuzzy green sphere. If you have good binocs or a small telescope, you'll get an even better view.

Addition: The light streaks are Geminids. The light at the horizon in center at bottom is a lighthouse out on the Lake. To its left you can see rising the three stars of Orion's belt. The bright red star to the belt's left and above it is Betelgeuse.

I was only trying to help. Sometimes (and I won't mention any names here) some people try and derail a thread. When I see this type of activity, I immediately contact Miss Phantasmal. She's usually on top of this with a "Failure To Comply' order. I hope this lack of response wasn't due to Favoritism, THAT would be depressing.
I've always allowed that kind of stuff. You just can't snip at each other, or bring up inappropriate things. If anything you've gotten a bit of special treatment. When it was Yurt, I banned him after a couple warnings. He basically took my warnings, and gave them the finger though.

I try to stay with the recipes on a Recipe thread. Like tonight, I'm going to fry up a hot dog (maybe two?), cut it down the middle, let it brown on both sides, then chop up this green onion that's been in a glass of water for, mmmmm, about a week and starting to wilt. I've got this cool 'Chopping device' that really chops stuff up (comes in real handy with garlic) so I'm going to use that and smother the hot dog(s) with the green onion and mustard on this bread. Or, ... I might go get something at this Chinese Restaurant that's less than a mile away. (?)

Reese Witherspoon's Chicken Pot Pie Casserole tasteofhome.com
Ingredients
2 eggs
2 cups frozen shredded hash browns
2 teaspoons salt, divided
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided*
1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup cooked chicken, diced
1 (10.75 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
1 sheet frozen puff pastry
* Note: The filling is super peppery. If you aren’t a huge fan of pepper front and center, I recommend reducing the amount of pepper in the filling or halving the pepper across the board in the recipe. For example, only 1/2 teaspoon each in the crust and the filling.
Step 1: Make the Crispy Hash Brown Crust
I mixed the eggs with half of the salt and pepper, then blended the hash browns into the mixture, carefully coating them in egg. I pressed the hash brown “crust” into a well-buttered 9-inch square casserole dish and baked at 400º F for 15 minutes.
(Use the rest of your frozen hash browns to make breakfast.)
Step 2: Create a Delicious Pot Pie Filling
While the crust cooked away, I sauteed the fresh vegetables in an olive oiled skillet over medium-high heat. Then, I took the mixture off the stovetop and stirred in the frozen peas. At this point it looked just like the inside of a chicken pot pie—I was super excited to eat this thing!
I then emptied the skillet into a large bowl and added the chicken, cream of mushroom soup and remaining salt and pepper. Here, Reese shared a good trick: Pour about 1/4 cup of water into the can, swirl around to remove any remaining soup and add to the bowl. I mixed the ingredients well and poured everything over the cooked hash browns.
Step 3: Top It with a Fluffy Pastry
Finally, I placed the sheet of puff pastry over the top of the dish. It took about 35 minutes of baking, but the puff pastry turned golden brown and the inside of the pot pie was bubbling deliciousness. (I recommend putting a cookie sheet on the bottom rack to catch any of the tasty goodness that might escape during cooking. It will prevent you having to clean the oven later. You’re welcome!)
