Two-stage ARC giveaway!

It's time for another ARC giveaway here in my weird little corner of the world. This time, it's going to be a two-fer. Specifically, we're having both a contest and a random drawing. If you comment at all, you'll be entered in the random drawing for an ARC of An Artificial Night. If you comment and participate in the contest, you'll be entered both in the random drawing, and in the judged portion of the giveaway. Ready? Awesome.

Suggested by talkstowolves, our contest for today is:

"Design signature cocktails or desserts for major characters/places in the Tobyverse."

What does the Luidaeg drink on a Friday night? What's Toby's favorite way to get wasted? How many virgin cocktails can Quentin down before he reaches legal age? Whip up something intoxicating and put it in the comments for the world to see.

The random drawing will be held Monday, July 12th. Voting on the cocktail/dessert competition* will begin the same day, and continue through July 15th. As no actual drinking is involved, you don't have to be twenty-one to enter, and there are lots of websites happy to help you out.

(*If we receive fewer than five entries, I won't do open judging, and the prize will be awarded based on how much I want to drink your cocktail or eat your pie.)

Game on!

This is definitely for feline rather than human taste buds.

Crust:
In a food processor pulse enough tuna flavored kibble to make one and one half cups of crumbs.

In one half cup of melted butter mix in several shakes of kelp powder or flakes.

Add the butter mixture to the kibble crumbs and mix until all crumbs are moist. Pat the crumb mixture into a pie plate until the bottom and sides are evenly coated.

Pie filling:
Blend 8 oz of plain unsweetened yogurt with 8 oz of cream cheese until smooth. Stir in one half cup of chopped clams and two heaping tablespoons of fresh lemon zest. If the mixture is too thick clam juice can be added to thin it. Pour into the pie crust, cover, and put in freezer.

When the filling is frozen, take one half cup of heavy whipping cream, add 1 tablespoon of catnip, and whip until thick. Smooth the mixture over the frozen yogurt as a layer of topping. Garnish with whole kibble and crumbled bleu cheese. Cover and put back in freezer until 15 minutes before serving.

...yes. Definitely cats only.
