I based this recipe on one that Nigel Slater wrote up last November, but I wanted to add more vegetables, and I didn't have any crème fraiche.

INTERLUDE II - WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

This narrative interlude focuses on Trixie's background, and takes place between ANNIHILATION ADJACENT EPISODE II and EPISODE III.

PLAY NEON WHITE

Neon White was much more fun than it had any right to be. It was developed by Angel Matrix, a collaborative group of independent developers, and published by  Annapurna Interactive.

Annapurna has published some good stuff - they have an impressive catalog of games in their past; some that I recognize like What Remains of Edith Finch, Outer Wilds, and Sayonara Wild Hearts. Annapurna also published a few titles in my own backlog, like The Artful Escape and Stray.

I in no way want to undermine their important work. I struggle with the idea of ethical consumption daily, and this post is my approach to consuming chicken.
