Indeed. Thats why I strive for them(And me) to not do work during sleep hours.

*Coma'd*

Edit: Ah, a prime example of sleepiness and a lack of helpful Firefox spellcheck.

Sunshine roasts are eaten from golden tables while sitting on golden chairs while Sunshine is drunk from golden barrels.

But now some asshole decided to vomit all over my dining room.

I suspect it's one of the miners because their quarters are underground and he walked beneath the skylight.

[Elitay]

Heh. Plant-Dwarves. Dwants? They live off of nothing but sunshine.

[cbfog]

My most successful fort yet had a huge vein a platinum and plenty of gems. I was able to trade a single crown or scepter for all the food and booze on a caravan and sustained a population of about 50 dwarves on a single tiny plot of plump helmets because of all the excess I had. So I guess they were eating everything from donkey meat to fish. Of course, this is also the fort that was ransacked by 4 or 5 goblins because my military slept through the attack.

[Karpatius]

I always request horse and donkey meat from caravans, since they sell it so cheap... and I hate horses, so two mammals with one ballista arrow.

Good complimentary to the plant diet I usually give my dwarfs. Plus, excess food is never excess.

[ShadowDragon8685]

Well, my current crop of dwarves exist off of nothing but a massive excess of alcohol and cave lobster. Ne'er will I be caught without Shell when a Mood demands, oh no!

[Eatnobles4breakfast]

Well, on an earlier post, i released my favorite dish, the squash/plump helmit cookies!
Unfortunatly, i'm so new at this i almost cooked all my plump helmits!

Masterwork Longland Beer Roasts and Longland Beer.

Yeah, I farm outside.  You wanna make something of it?

[slMagnvox]

Longland beer really does sound awful good.  Someone at a microbrew should make that, I'd buy.

Once my fort gets up and running I like to avoid cooking much booze and instead cook a lot of meat & tallow roasts and whatever meats and cheeses I buy from the caravan.  I'd like to do more work with the mill, but bags are frustrating because they invariably end up filled with seeds and overflow my seed stockpile.

[Derakon]

The real problem with milling is that you get 1 milled item per plant, whereas you get e.g. 5 syrup per sweet pod and 5 leaves per quarry bush. Bags also can't hold more than one stack of milled product (that I've noticed), so if you want to make your own dye, you need a lot of bags.

Fortunately, pig tail planting makes a lot of thread, which can make all the bags you'll ever need.

[slMagnvox]

But milling just seems like fun.  If I just wanted quantity I'd cook more of that booze I mentioned.  Making a million bags isn't so much the problem, it is keeping them from getting seeds put in them that bugs me.  I had an older fort that at alot of quarry bush leaves and I had to be careful about where I put my kitchen in relation to where seeds were being produced, since an empty bag near a seed would soon become a seedbag.

[Dareon Clearwater]

My dwarves seem to have some weird ideas about how to mix food.  With both horse tallow and longland flour available, they made:

Horse tallow biscuits, of horse tallow and horse tallow;
and Longland flour roasts, of longland flour, longland flour, longland flour, and... a plump helmet spawn.

[Neoskel]

For a brief time using the prehistoria mod i had a hunting post serving up stegosaur roasts, but i should have brought another butcher cuz my guy couldn't keep up with 6 proficient marksdwarves and the corpses and meat would just rot.

Oh, and rats. My dwarves love rats. And roaches.

[Ruttiger]

I've had a really varied diet lately.  At first it was all mountain goat meat and tallow, with the occasional hoary marmot mixed in.  Then I started cleaning out caravans for a little while. Then my food stockpiles became a ridiculous mess, causing massive hauling problems.  I've let it run down now, and the entire fort is living off of seed roasts, and dwarven sugar/syrup.  Mmmm, seed roast.
