Game of Thrones Inspired: Milk of the Poppy - Lemon Rose Panna Cotta

If you came here expecting for the anesthetic medical drink, I'm sorry to break it to you that I don't have the recipe.  I do, however, have another more delicious, non-lucid version for you to enjoy! I'll admit that when I first heard someone say Milk of the Poppy, I thought they said milk of the puppy.  Thankfully, it wasn't from the puppy.

After the premiere of season five Game of Thrones last week, I heard that the first four episodes of the season were actually leaked. Who would do such a thing!?  I decided not to overindulge and I'm going to watch each episode with my normal anxiety ridden week in between.  

So here is my version of Milk of the Poppy from Game of Thrones.  Milk of the poppy is a medical drink used to ease the pain of injuries.  This however, is a lemon rose poppy seed panna cotta.  It's so delicious and simple to make.

Game of Thrones Inspired: Bowl of Brown

As I pull myself out of bed, unwilling to face the fact the we do not get a new episode of The Walking Dead this Sunday, I realize that there is in fact light at the end of the tunnel.  Season five of HBO's Game of Thrones premieres this Sunday and I am ecstatic! 

To celebrate the premiere and to soothe my cold, I decided to make Bowl of Brown.  Bowl of brown is a stew made in the slums of Kings Landing.  It's a stew for the poor usually consists of unrecognizable pieces of meat, barley, carrots, and any other ingredients that they have on hand.  While I'm not adding rats, dogs, or foreign pieces of meat to this stew, it's a great way to use up some ingredients in your pantry and still be authentic. So please enjoy and cheers to the new season of Game of Thrones!
