Basically, all of the wacky religious threads popping up lately have got me thinking about what makes me feel the most spiritually fulfilled.  While pondering this a few nights ago, I began stirring flour into a pan of bacon grease.  After four straight hours of vigilant whisking, I stood before a miraculously thick, dark roux.  I then proceeded to mix in the holy trinity of base vegetables(onion,bell pepper, and celery) stirring rhythmically all the while.  Next came the opposing broths,  one black, the other golden.  Wasting no time, I added fried chunks of beast and fowl along with the leaves and fruits of aromatic and spicy flora to appease the broths, that they might exist in harmony, satiated.  I then quickly moved a cover over the mixture, blocking out all light for one hour.  Twenty minutes before the hour subsided, I removed the lid, offered okra for my indiscretion, and stirred vigorously before once again closing off my sacrifice from the world. 

I prepared a bowl and filled it half way with boiled grains of rice.  Finally, the offering was complete, and ready to drown the bland white grains.  I slowly took a spoon, filled with trepidation, and tasted. 

Suddenly, ephemeral rays of sunlight burst through dark clouds above.  The planets aligned and all creation sang out their secret harmony.  Sublime smoky flavors waltzed with gently burning spices, and a sonorous voice boomed down from the heavens.  "Let There Be Food!"     

And, it was good.

So, where are all the foodies, chefs, and just plain hog beasts on this forum?  Gather and share stories, recipes, and opinions about your favorite indulgent delights.

Edit: Also, anyone who has a love for pretty much any kind of booze, beer, or wine is also welcome to mention them here.

First off, I am based in the U.S. if that is of any consequence.  Anyway, I am wondering how fellow AGS developers go about forming their studios. i e. Grundislav Games, Crystal Shard, Infamous Adventures, etc...  I have some experience working with the corporations division of the secretary of state and am less concerned with the process than with what type of company I need to form.  Is it common to create an LLC, or would a sole proprietorship be more appropriate since no one is actually paid in the freeware business?  Are either of these even necessary, or do some of you simply copyright the studio name and run with it?  Also, could a freeware studio qualify for nonprofit status, particularly if some of the games made were considered educational? 

I would appreciate any tips in forming my own studio and am also just curious to see how everyone on here approaches the business end of creating and distributing great free games.

I apologize ahead of time if this has been extensively covered, but does anyone know the status of the mmgames remake of King's Quest IV?  Their last update was a video posted to youtube one year ago to the day, and their site seems to have been abandoned.  It would be a real pity for this project to be dropped once again.
