Recipes

[Three people sit along a table with dishes and drinks in front of them. Cueball is walking in, a plate with food on it in one hand, a laptop in the other.]

[Blondie looks down at her bowl. She has a cup with what appears to be a lump of coal in it.]

Blondie: I’ve got… Cheerios with a shot of vermouth.

[Cueball 1 has a plate with some kind of cubic food on it. He has a cup of what appears to be two lovebirds in it.]

Cueball 1: At least it’s better than the quail eggs in whipped cream and MSG from last time.

[Cueball 2 has a plate with a several lumps of some form of white stuff on it. They have a cup of what appears to be some kind of superfluid flowing out of it.]

Cueball 2: Are these Skittles deep-fried?

Cueball 3: C’mon, guys, be patient. In a few hundred more meals, the genetic algorithm should catch up to existing recipes and start to optimize.
