Paté Chinois

This is a variant of the shepherd's pie recipe I posted a while back, courtesy of Julie:

require 'mashed_potatoes'

ingredients = {
  :mashed_potatoes => 1.recipe,  # do this exactly like in the other recipe
  :ground_beef => 0.5.pounds,
  :corn => 1.cup
  :salt => you.decide
  :pepper => you.decide
}

pan << :ground_beef, :salt, :pepper
pan.element.set_heat :medium

class Meat
  def cooked?
    not self.red?
  end
end

until meat.cooked?
  you.stir :occasionally, :with => :wooden_spoon
end

casserole_dish << :meat_mixture
casserole_dish << :corn
you.spread :corn, :evenly
casserole_dish << :mashed_potatoes
you.spread :mashed_potatoes, :evenly

oven.turn_on 350
oven << casserole_dish
you.wait 25.minutes

Pancakes

It seems like every pancake recipe on the Internet either gets the pancakes way too dry or way too wet, and you end up with crappy pancakes. This recipe makes them nice, light and fluffy.

ingredients = {
  :flour => 1.cup,
  :baking_powder => 3.tbsp,
  :salt => 0.5.tsp,
  :brown_sugar => 3.tbsp,

  :egg => 1,
  :milk => 1.25.cups,
  (:vegetable_oil or :canola_oil) => 3.tbsp,
  :vanilla => 0.25.tsp
}

bowl << :flour << :baking_powder << :salt << :brown_sugar

bowl.contents.mix!

bowl << :egg << :milk << :oil << :vanilla

bowl.contents.mix!

until bowl.empty?
  until pan.full?
    pan << bowl.remove :pancake_sized_piece
  end

  you.wait until pan.contents.cooked?

  pan.contents.each do |pancake|
    pancake.flip!
  end

  you.wait until pan.contents.cooked?

  plate << pan.contents
end

you.eat :with => (:maple_syrup or :fruit or :yogurt or you.choose)

Also if anybody is interested in submitting a recipe, feel free. They can be in whatever language you like, we don't need to restrict them all to Ruby! The only restriction is that they have to be in a programming language.
